Peerless Protégé [Rebirth]

"what?"

Luo Jiening stared blankly at Zhong Zhili wrapping the scarf around him again, wrapping it around three times.It was only then that he finally understood that Zhong Zhili didn't mean to take it away, his eyes suddenly brightened again, and he said with a smile, "Thank you!"

Zhong Zhili softened his face, looked at him and said, "Let's go have breakfast."

Luo Jiening followed behind him and quietly asked: "Are you not angry with me?"

Zhong Zhili paused in his footsteps, and Luo Jiening followed suit with a tremor in his heart.He turned his head and asked, "Who is communicating with you?"

Luo Jiening was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Duan Wan."

Zhong Zhili understood, and then answered his question just now: "I'm not angry with you."

Luo Jiening obviously didn't believe it, otherwise who caused him to have a bad face these few days.Of course he owed it to himself.He said he was not angry anymore, so naturally his anger has subsided.

Luo Jiening cheerfully followed behind him, and suddenly remembered that Pei'er had asked him to meet, if he didn't tell Zhong Zhili, he might think about it again, so he might as well explain all about his going to Fufenglou It was clear, and it was so good that Zhong Zhili would not misunderstand himself.

Thinking of this, Luo Jiening took two steps forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, moved closer to him, and said, "I want to talk to you."

Zhong Zhili looked at him strangely, not knowing what he meant by that.Luo Jiening said again: "Well, a girl asked me to meet in a few days."

Zhong Zhili looked a little weird, thinking to himself that this matter must have something to do with his running down that day, and he didn't know when the agreement was made.Just looked at him and said nothing.

Luo Jiening said again: "I went to the pharmacy to deliver a letter, and I asked him about Yanzixiang by the way. He said that he could get more information from Fufeng Building, so I went there, but the girl there told me to leave quickly, and I was recognized It’s not good to come out. Just when I came out, I ran into you.”

After a pause, he asked again: "So, why were you there at that time?"

Seeing that he explained clearly, Zhong Zhili just nodded and said, "I want to find you, because there are still some broken silver in that money bag, more than ten taels of silver. I didn't meet you at the pharmacy, and they told me you were there Fufeng Tower."

Tell?

Luo Jiening deeply doubted the reliability of these two words, but when he saw that he had explained it to himself, he immediately smiled and said, "Why are you angry with me?"

Zhong Zhili glanced at him, speechless.Seeing this, Luo Jiening suppressed his smile, and said seriously: "That girl can find out something, will you come with me then?"

Zhong Zhili knew that he was talking about the girl in the brothel, but suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What do you want so much money for?"

Luo Jiening let out a chuckle, but seeing Zhong Zhili's expressionless face, he immediately stopped it, and said seriously: "I went to the pharmacy to buy some things."

"What is so expensive to buy?"

Luo Jiening said: "I bought all the herbs inside that can repel mosquitoes."

Zhong Zhili repeated: "Mosquito repellent?"

Luo Jiening smiled and said, "That's right."

Zhong Zhili paused, and said: "Senior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Xu are going to Wuchenxuan starting today."

"Is it because of the mountain town?"

"No," Zhong Zhili shook his head and said, "There is also the matter of the emperor's private visit."

"Haha!" Luo Jiening laughed and said, "They also have to take care of this matter? It's not like they came to Jingzhou, let's see what they can do! Hahahaha!"

Seeing him laughing, Zhong Zhili subconsciously stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around him to prevent him from falling to the ground, this action scared Luo Jiening to straighten up immediately, and stared at Zhong Zhili in a daze.Only then did Zhong Zhili feel a little embarrassed, and withdrew his hand.

There was a strange silence between the two of them, Luo Jiening coughed twice, and just about to speak out, Zhong Zhili said: "When you woke up that day, what did you want to say to me?"

Luo Jiening was instantly brought back to the memory, but he didn't have the intention of forcibly explaining to others at that time. At this moment, he only laughed a few times and pretended to be stupid: "I forgot."

The two finally turned the page.Luo Jiening suddenly softened, practiced swordsmanship behind Yang Tianming for a few days, happened to be Lin Xiangyang and Xu Banfeng were gone, only Zhong Zhili looked at them, Luo Jiening didn't dare For a second, he didn't even dare to talk to the people around him, he was just another Zhong Zhili.

Those disciples all commented that Zhong Zhili was completely different when he came, as if he was a different person.When he first came here, he was not afraid of anything, but looking at him now, he is a model among his disciples, a benchmark in the eyes of the sect leader, he doesn't even have time to rest, and even Yang Tianming and the others are stunned when they see him. People are afraid that they have received a blow, are they crazy?

No, he was already crazy before, but now he is probably crazy.

Even though Luo Jiening doesn't like Wuchenxuan's swordsmanship anymore, it is always useful to learn it. Even if those disciples learn it, it is unlikely that they will have the opportunity to confront Wuchenxuan's disciples head-on. The chances are like zero.But if he learned it by himself, he might be able to subtly suppress Wuchenxuan's disciples without revealing himself, killing two birds with one stone, why not?

What's more, this is the best time to face Zhong Zhili face to face, Zhong Zhili is in front, he is behind, he can't see him, but he can see Zhong Zhili, so why not?

The time Pei'er agreed with him came soon, Luo Jiening still ran to ask Zhong Zhili if he wanted to follow, but Zhong Zhili only said "no", Luo Jiening looked at him The appearance, but the heart is a little complicated.

I'm afraid that this person is not jealous as I think, but a person like him, who will be more or less prejudiced and disdainful towards women in the world of mortals.Luo Jiening lowered his eyebrows and said: "I might come back later, if you haven't slept, just watch over for me, otherwise they won't let me in because it's so late."

Zhong Zhili said in a teasing tone, "Why don't you come back tomorrow morning?"

Hearing this, Luo Jiening was so choked up that he couldn't speak, he just looked at him fixedly, the hurt emotion flashed in his eyes.After a while, he got up and left.

Zhong Zhili watched his leaving back, and slowly closed his eyes.

When Luo Jiening saw Pei'er, he couldn't believe it.Na Pei'er changed into a more gorgeous red dress this time, her face was still heavily smeared, Luo Jiening was stunned for a while, before saying: "You look very different."

The two of them were blocked by the screen, and no one could see this side. Pei Er just sat upright opposite him and said, "In this way, no one will be suspected."

Luo Jiening found it novel and asked, "What do you mean?"

"People always turn a blind eye to ordinary people, and can't take their eyes off brightly dressed people. However, it's just the opposite for thoughtful people."

Her voice was very low, but Luo Jiening could hear every word clearly.

Luo Jiening nodded and smiled, "That makes sense."

Pei Er said: "Please fulfill your promise last time."

Luo Jiening leaned back casually, only then remembered that he promised her the last time we parted, and told her the next time we meet, why he knew about Bai Zhiqiu 50 years ago.He smiled lightly, and said: "I have visited the descendants of the Shen Yun sect. Of course I know."

"You're lying." Pei'er said with firmness in her eyes that would not be violated by others, "Shenyun faction was cleared out by Wuchenxuan more than 20 years ago."

Luo Jiening said with a smile: "If it's cleared up, it means cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots? At that time, the situation was so chaotic, who can guarantee that none of them will be left behind?"

Pei'er was also taken aback, as if she believed his words, and then asked: "Then why did they tell you such details? I'm afraid no one has known about Bai Zhiqiu's biological mother for a long time, right?"

Luo Jiening smiled again: "Then, why don't you suspect that I made it up?"

"Your eyes won't lie to you."

Luo Jiening supported his head and said, "Then, can I ask you something?"

Pei'er said seriously: "You haven't answered my question just now."

Luo Jiening secretly said in his heart, this person is indeed a sensible person, if she doesn't understand, I'm afraid she will have to keep asking.He had no choice but to say: "Bai Zhiqiu has been haunted before, I confronted him head-on, he revealed it unintentionally."

That being said, Pei Er still had a weird look on her face, but she had to believe it.Luo Jiening said again: "There are mixed fish and dragons in Jiuquan Town, what kind of people are there?"

Pei'er asked, "Is this the intention of your sect leader, or your own intention?"

Luo Jiening narrowed his eyes and said, "If Nan Chengshu is really capable, why should I ask this question?"

Pei'er looked at him straight, and said after a long while: "There are people from all factions. They are doing business in name, but they are secretly grasping the movements of Xuantian Tower. Of course, if no one comes down from Xuantian Tower, they don't know anything. gone."

Luo Jiening heard her voice, just smiled, and said: "Then, you should have heard that this little girl Li Mingyan died here, right?"

"That little girl," she said after a pause, "that piece of jade on her body is very valuable."

"Have you seen her?"

"That's natural." Pei'er's lips curled into an arc, which seemed to be a slight smile, "I know all the permanent residents in Wuquan Town."

Luo Jiening secretly admired it in his heart. Although this person was ordinary, he had great insight. Even Nan Chengshu might not know everything about the residents of Jiuquan Town. It is enough to see his well-informed news.

Luo Jiening laughed coquettishly: "I used to only know that there are many strange people in the folk, but I never thought that you can be compared to Crouching Dragon."

Pei'er only said: "It's just a rice bowl."

Luo Jiening asked again: "That girl, I heard that she followed some people into Swallow Alley and disappeared. Do you know who they are?"

Pei'er said: "Swallow Alley is a restricted area, even people like us cannot enter."

Luo Jiening was still thinking about the meaning of "us people", Na Pei'er said again: "However, the one who lures the little girl in is naturally not someone who wants to kill her. No matter how courageous those people are, they will Not to the point of killing people in broad daylight.”

Luo Jiening said: "I heard that they are conducting a transaction of selling people?"

Pei'er lowered her eyebrows and said: "Yes. Most of them are sold to other people's homes as slaves, or sold to brothels. Boys are also wanted, and the better the face, the higher the price. Of course, some are captured and abused. "

"Abuse?"

"It's a person with abuse addiction. The cries in Swallow Alley all day long are from abused children."

Luo Jiening took a deep breath, and heard her say again: "Since the little girl's body is intact, she has not been abused."

Luo Jiening asked: "Do you know who she is?"

Pei'er nodded and said, "I know. Is it the daughter of Tie Guan Li, a strange man in the world?"

Luo Jiening was shocked in his heart, but his face remained motionless, and he asked, "How do you know?"

She just said indifferently: "You know her name is Li Mingyan, and she has a lot to do with you, and the news came not long ago that Li Tieguan Li died. And you were in Yuzhou at the time, so you can naturally get in touch with each other."

Luo Jiening ate another whale and almost jumped up.Na Pei'er looked at him and said, "You are surprised, why do I know so much?"

Luo Jiening took advantage of the situation and asked, "Why?"

"Someone is watching your gate. Whoever comes out, the people below will all know." She paused again, and said, "Although I am in Fufeng Building, the people who come from that place are rich and powerful young masters and For the dignitaries passing by here, I know more about the things in the palace. Most of you people in the Jianghu do not like to come here, and you think it will insult your integrity."

When she said the last sentence, Luo Jiening could clearly see the disdain and contempt in her eyes, maybe it had something to do with Nan Chengshu.Luo Jiening sat down again, and said: "The jade on Li Mingyan is very important."

Pearl asked, "Why is it important?"

Luo Jiening said: "I only know that it's very important. This girl is related to many things. Once she dies, many clues will be gone."

"Since this person is so important, whoever is more threatening to her is the one who did it. Isn't it simple?"

Luo Jiening smiled lightly: "I am in the light, he is in the dark, what is simple?"

Pei'er looked directly at him and said nothing.Luo Jiening looked at the sky outside the window, and then at the candle on the table, it was almost half burned.Na Peier said: "Are you in a hurry?"

Luo Jiening smiled and said, "At this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back, so I won't let you in."

Pei'er stood up and said, "Night is the best time for Fufeng Tower, so I should go back."

Luo Jiening got up and saw her off for a while before turning back to Mount Qitai.At this time, the streets are already completely quiet, and only the lanterns are rarely seen.He crossed the river and went up the mountain in the dark all the way. He turned sideways and wanted to hide behind the rock when he suddenly remembered that all the weeds behind the rock had been cleared away, so he gave up and wanted to find a place to sneak past, but Hearing footsteps, he was frightened and quickly hid aside.

He picked up a few stones and glanced over there, only to see a figure standing at the gate in the dimly lit place, looking quietly towards this side.
