After Xie Rulan fell asleep, Xiao Xingyu waited by his side all the time, picked up the pills scattered on the carpet, found a new bottle, and then stared at the bottle of medicine in a daze.

This medicine should be Xie Rulan's medicine, but he would rather overturn it than take it. He couldn't help but hold the pill in his hand and observe it carefully. The pill is round and vermilion, and it exudes a faint sweet fragrance.

Xiao Xingyu had also been in contact with medicine before, but he smelled one of the medicinal ingredients, and his face turned cold instantly.Slowly put that pill back into the bottle.

If Xiao Xingyu's guess is correct, this bottle of medicine is simply poison!

No matter how many guesses there were in his mind, Xiao Xingyu's worries still accounted for all of them. He waited for more than an hour. After the night fell, Xie Rulan hadn't woken up yet, but her face was much better, not as pale as when she just fell ill. scary.

The palm in his hand was held softly by him, but it was a little warm and cold. Xie Rulan's brows were no longer furrowed, but she seemed a little uneasy in her sleep, and a thin layer of sweat secreted from her forehead.

Xiao Xingyu raised his hand to wipe it, and when Fang touched the smooth forehead, Xie Rulan slowly opened his eyes, and his five fingers clenched instantly, grabbing Xiao Xingyu's hand.

Even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't escape, Xiao Xingyu could only continue to pretend to calmly wipe off the sweat on Xie Rulan's forehead, watching his eyes gradually gain focus, and then looking at himself, his voice called out in a low voice. ——

"Xiao Xingyu?"

Sure enough, he was recognized, Xiao Xingyu nodded, pursed his lips and smiled, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

"you're awake."

Xie Rulan didn't speak any more, but looked at him with water mist in her eyes, not soberly. After a long time, she smiled weakly, nodded slowly, and then let go of her hands to support her body and sat up.

Xiao Xingyu voluntarily helped him to sit up, and asked, "Are you still in pain? How do you feel now?"

Xie Rulan never mentioned this matter, instead she stared at Xiao Xingyu's face intently, finally heaved a sigh of relief, her breathing became much smoother, and she regained some strength, he smiled slightly and said, "You know how to disguise yourself?"

Hearing that Xiao Xingyu touched his face, his fingertips touched behind his ears, he touched something for a while, and then tore off the whole thin piece of skin, revealing the original appearance inside.

Xie Rulan looked at the person in his hand. The leather mask was even more curious. Xiao Xingyu simply handed it to him to play with, and explained: "I won't change my appearance, but someone will. Xie Ning, I have been by your side these days , but didn’t dare to show up, won’t you blame me?”

Xie Rulan was very disturbed when he heard his tone, and she laughed lightly, playing with the mask in her hand, and said softly: "So, when I just left, you caught up with me?"

He still had his head down, and his long hair hung down to cover half of his face. Xiao Xingyu couldn't see his expression clearly, so he lowered his head in panic, coughed lightly and said hurriedly: "I'm worried about you too! You suddenly fell ill before, It's frightening to death...and more! What's the matter with your illness? Why did it suddenly flare up and then suddenly recover?"

Asked about this, Xie Rulan glanced away guiltily, and said in a low voice, "I'm fine..."

Xiao Xingyu didn't force him to ask him, but just took the bottle of medicine that was collected and asked: "Your medicine spilled, I picked it up for you, do you want to take it?"

"Do not……"

Xie Rulan shook her head, but Xiao Xingyu said again: "But I think the medicine is poisonous, you'd better not take it."

"You knew already?"

Xie Rulan suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at him, Xiao Xingyu smiled bitterly and said, "Xie Ning, do you not trust me, do you not regard me as a friend at all, that's why you hide so many things from me? You still want to make me hurry up?" Let's go, don't get in your way here, right?"

Although there was still a smile on the corner of his lips, his eyes were shining coldly, he looked very angry, and he was reluctant to speak harshly to Xie Rulan, his tone was still soft.

But Xie Rulan could also hear the meaning of his words, his heart was so bitter that he couldn't explain it, he finally could only lower his head, pursed his lips and said: "Yeah, you shouldn't come here, thank you for caring about me so much, you can go."

Xiao Xingyu laughed twice when he heard the words, he couldn't hear any emotion, then he stood up, put the bottle of medicine on the bedside cabinet, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, I'm leaving. "

"Xie Ning, take care of yourself."

He was still smiling, but he could see Xie Rulan feeling very uncomfortable. Xiao Xingyu always liked to pester him, but now he just left?

Xie Rulan couldn't react, but Xiao Xingyu had already turned around and walked towards the door, Xie Rulan suddenly wanted to call him back, but she just opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, she could only watch Xiao Xingyu arrive at the door with a sad face.

Xiao Xingyu paused, Xie Rulan felt a little happy, thinking that he was coming back, but unexpectedly, the other party just paused and put on the mask again, and after putting it on, he resolutely opened the door and strode out of the room.

Hearing only the slight sound of closing the door, Xie Rulan was stunned.

Xiao Xingyu really left...

The heart became more and more uncomfortable, but she didn't know what it was. The only thing Xie Rulan knew was that he was a little bit reluctant to leave Xiao Xingyu, and picked up the medicine bottle for some reason, the white jade bottle was still warm.

It was left by Xiao Xingyu, and it was the temperature he had clenched when he just woke up.

Thinking of this, Xie Rulan held it tightly in her palm.

Xiao Xingyu didn't really want to leave, but he was afraid that Xie Rulan would drive him away, and Xie Rulan deliberately concealed it from him, so he would speak without restraint when he got angry.

He wanted to sneak around him to find out what was going on, but after leaving the room, he kept peeking in front of the door, but the thick bead curtain and screen blocked the people inside. He couldn't see clearly either.

I wondered in my heart that it was so quiet inside, would Xie Rulan cry because of him?

But it is impossible to think about it, Xie Rulan is not a girl, not so fragile.

But in the end, I was still worried. There were voices from outside the courtyard. Seeing this, Xiao Xingyu didn't dare to go in the room, so he could only go around the corner lightly.

Sure enough, some people came into Xie Rulan's courtyard after a while, Xie Rulan lived in a very secluded place, ordinary disciples would not come here in the past, it was near the vermilion tall building, in the center of Fengxue Building.

It is not only the safest place, but also the most dangerous place. If Chen Qianfan wants to kill him, and there is no one around him to support him, Xie Rulan will definitely lose to everyone in this Fengxue Building where there are so many masters.

One of those two people, Xiao Xingyu, had seen him before, but only from a distance. It was Elder Wu who supported Chen Qianfan.

It was a thin old man, he looked very energetic, he had a kind face, but his eyes were extremely cold.And the man next to him who was also wearing a blue robe seemed to be a kind and gentle person, he should have just passed his thirties, and his appearance was very young, but the well-trimmed beard on his lips gave people a sense of stability and maturity, which he could tell at a glance I feel that this person is very credible.

The two of them whispered something, and they didn't stop until they reached Xie Rulan's door, and then Elder Wu called out from outside the door: "Your Honor, are you in the room? Old man Wu Zheng, I have something to discuss with you on behalf of the landlord." .”

The five senses of martial arts practitioners are more sensitive than ordinary people. He has long been sure that Xie Rulan will be in the house, and where else can Xie Rulan go besides the house?

They came to look for Xie Rulan.

Xiao Xingyu leaned against the wall and poked his head out to look at the man in the blue robe. It turned out that he was Chen Qianfan.

The visitor was not kind, Xiao Xingyu thought in his heart, the two of them are excellent in kung fu, he must not let others find out that he was eavesdropping, so he held his breath and covered his mouth, for fear of being noticed.

Chen Qianfan stood in front of the house with his hands behind his back, as if he was a little bored waiting, he looked around for a week, and Xiao Xingyu hurriedly shrank his head back in shock.

At the same time, Xie Rulan's voice came from the room, accompanied by the sound of opening the door.

"Elder Wu, Master Chen."

He opened the door, his face was still a little pale, but he showed no expression, not to mention the respect that juniors should have for elders.

Xie Rulan seemed to be trying to drive away the guests, and said directly: "Master Chen just let someone tell you something, why did you come here in person?"

Chen Qianfan and Elder Wu didn't bother about what he said inside and outside the words, and situations like this were already normal.

Chen Qianfan also smiled and said, "Ah Ning's complexion looks very bad, didn't you have a good rest these two days?"

Xie Rulan said coldly: "Uncle Lao Chen is worried, I just need to rest quietly for a few days."

It means you guys go away, it's noisy enough for me to rest.

However, Chen Qianfan always greeted people with a smiling face, and at this time he still had a gentle smile and said: "In this case, Ah Ning should have a good rest, your illness is always not good, the uncle and several elders are very worried. "

Elder Wu echoed, "If the lord is not in poor health, he should have succeeded the landlord. Since the lord needs to rest, it is better to give up the seat. I think the landlord has been in charge of Fengxue Building for more than a year. , is very competent, what do you think, my lord?"

Xie Rulan chuckled lightly, and said with some sarcasm in her eyes: "I have never cared about the affairs in the building. Is Elder Wu worrying too much?"

"My lord, don't pretend to be ignorant! You don't fight, but there are still people who want to fight for you..."

Seeing his tone, Elder Wu was a little anxious, but Chen Qianfan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said with a smile: "Elder Wu, don't worry."

"A'Ning, don't you invite Master to sit in the room?"

Xie Rulan glanced at him, her attitude was a little impatient, but she still turned sideways to the door, Chen Qianfan smiled and entered the room when she saw this, but when she saw Xie Rulan's untouched but already cold food on the table, , I was taken aback for a moment.

"Has Ning not eaten yet?"

Xie Rulan glanced at the few dishes on the table and was also taken aback. These were brought back by Xiao Xingyu...

no!Can't think about it!

Xie Rulan sighed secretly, and said expressionlessly: "I don't have any appetite, the room is chaotic, and my uncle laughed."

Xiao Xingyu didn't clean up the things on the table for him when he left, but Xie Rulan thought it was good, since the table hadn't been cleaned up yet, the two of them felt embarrassed to sit down.

It's just that how could Chen Qianfan's face be as polite as an ordinary person's?

He still sat down at the table obediently, and upon seeing this, Elder Wu also sat down beside him.

Chen Qianfan said: "I think Ah Ning's complexion is not very good, you have to take care of yourself... By the way, I heard that there are more people in your yard these days, why didn't you see anyone?"

As he spoke, he took a few glances inside. Xie Rulan soon knew that he was talking about Xiao Xingyu, but she replied unhurriedly: "There is someone, but I thought he was noisy, so I let him go down."

Xiao Xingyu ran out of the window to eavesdrop. Hearing what Chen Qianfan said at this time, he was still a little scared. It turned out that he hadn't lied to everyone, but Chen Qianfan came late to probe, and he also hid first .

No one would come to Xie Rulan's residence on weekdays, but Chen Qianfan still got the news that there was an extra person in his courtyard. It seemed that he would have a lot of eyeliners in this Fengxue Building.

Xiao Xingyu can only blame himself for being careless and causing trouble for Xie Rulan.

Seeing what Xie Rulan said, Chen Qianfan didn't ask any further, Xie Rulan stepped forward and said bluntly: "Master just said that he came to discuss something with me, what exactly is it?"

Elder Wu seemed to be about to speak, but Chen Qianfan looked at him with a smile. Elder Wu suddenly calmed down honestly. Chen Qianfan said with a smile: "It's just a matter of my brother's death in three days. My brother passed away for more than a year, and the elders discussed it." There can’t be another landlord in the building, so the uncle came to ask Aning’s opinion.”

Xie Rulan smiled in a low voice, shook her head and said, "A-Ning has no objections, I'm very relieved to leave the matters in the building to my uncle."

He can have any opinions, but Chen Qianfan is concerned: "A Ning is at ease with the uncle, the uncle is really ashamed. The brother passed away suddenly, and I can only take on this responsibility. It's just that Xu Hui didn't understand me and thought I was If... well, I don't know what to do, what do you think, Aning?"

The Fourth Elder Xu Hui's matter, Xie Rulan, was extremely wronged. He didn't intend to compete for the position of the landlord, but he wanted to take the blame.

Xie Rulan secretly rolled her eyes, lowered her eyes and said, "Aning really doesn't know what the fourth uncle thinks in his heart, the uncle is too worried."

Hearing this, Elder Wu reprimanded him sternly: "What is Xu Hui's plan really unknown? Xu Hui has always been dissatisfied with the acting landlord. He would rather call you the post of landlord than let the acting landlord succeed him. It's nonsense! Since the old landlord created Since the Fengxue Building, the old man has supported the landlord for many years, and the building has never been so chaotic as it is now. Xu Hui actually led people to separate out. The former Fengxue Building has now become two factions. Did he act recklessly?"

But what did Xu Hui think, and what did he have to do with it?

Xie Rulan's face darkened, and she retorted coldly: "Could it be that Elder Wu meant that I was the one behind the scenes for what Fourth Martial Uncle did? Who would Martial Uncle know who I am? I never thought of arguing with Uncle Chen. , let alone deliberately destroy the painstaking efforts left behind by grandpa!"

"OK OK!"

Chen Qianfan shook his head and sighed helplessly, calming down the two who had suddenly quarreled, but looked at Xie Rulan with a smile in his eyes, and said triumphantly: "Elder Wu, Ah Ning has always liked to be quiet, and never likes to meddle You have misunderstood the external affairs."

Xie Rulan snorted coldly, but was so angry that she even breathed heavily.

Chen Qianfan was clearly showing off to him, warning him that the building was already under his control, even if Xu Hui came back, it would not be able to turn things around and let Xie Rulan have a chance to tell the truth.

After being said a few words, Elder Wu held back his breath, and stopped relying on his elders to attack Xie Rulan.

Chen Qianfan glanced at the two of them, pretending to be distressed, and said, "In this case, Ah Ning, you should rest well first, your health is important, and on the birthday of senior brother's death in three days, Ah Ning must also appear."

Xie Rulan was already in a bad mood, but being disturbed by them made her even more irritated, and said coldly: "Uncle Master came here just to inform me about this matter? Then I know, uncle is busy with work, and Aning will not keep you Yes, please come back!"

Elder Wu frowned when he saw how rude he was, and said: "Xie Ning, even if you are honored as a venerable, it is because you are the only grandson of the old landlord! It's fine if you are rude to us old people, How can you be so presumptuous given how much painstaking effort the acting landlord has put into Fengxue Tower?"

"you……"

Xie Rulan hates these old guys who rely on the old and sell the old the most. They stand side by side with Chen Qianfan and have never had a good face towards him. Except for the dead landlord Jiang Yun, few people in this building will really respect Xie Rulan. Even Xie Rulan never cared.

But at this moment, there was a slight sound beside the window sill, which attracted the attention of several people in the room.

It turned out that Xiao Xingyu saw Xie Rulan being bullied so much when he was eavesdropping outside the window. He was so annoyed that he almost forgot that he was still eavesdropping. He accidentally stepped on a dead branch on the ground, which was instantly stepped on and made a sound.

Hearing that the room suddenly became quiet, Xiao Xingyu also intuitively felt that the people inside must have heard it.

Elder Wu was the first to react. He and Chen Qianfan exchanged glances, and walked towards the window sill gently.

Xie Rulan suddenly became nervous. How could there be someone outside his house? He quickly guessed who it would be, and before he had time to think about it, he suddenly asked Chen Qianfan anxiously.

"Are you blaming me for what Elder Wu said? It's clear that Master Chen and you guys came to blame me first. I'm a junior, but I didn't do it. Why should I admit it? Don't defend Aning for half a sentence, could this be what Master Chen meant?"

Elder Wu immediately turned around suspiciously, and saw that Xie Rulan's body was so weak that it was almost on the verge of collapsing.

"I know that Uncle Chen regards me as the venerable of Fengxue Building. The elders in the building have always been unconvinced. If Uncle Chen is also dissatisfied with Aning, there is no need to target me openly and secretly, and you can drive me out of Fengxue Tower. The snow building is here!"

"This……"

Not to mention Elder Wu, even Chen Qianfan didn't have the courage to drive him out of Fengxue Tower.

Firstly, Xie Rulan is the most respected venerable of the former landlord, and secondly, he is the only blood of the old landlord who founded Fengxuelou, and Chen Qianfan and his brothers are orphans adopted by the old landlord since childhood, and they not only teach Grace, and nurturing love.

There are still many old people in Fengxue Building who are loyal to the old building owner and Jiang Yun, and at the same time have a little awe of Xie Rulan, so Elder Wu has nothing to say at this moment.

Chen Qianfan also suppressed his smile, he didn't expect Xie Rulan to say that, after thinking for a while he could only innocently say: "Where did Ah Ning say that?"

He really pretended to explain, "A-Ning is too worried! Uncle Master definitely has no such idea! Master treats me with great kindness, and junior sister treats me like a real brother. How can I be what Aning thinks?" , targeting you everywhere?"

Elder Wu also said: "My lord, don't think too much, you are the only blood of the old landlord, and the acting landlord will never be disrespectful to you!"

"Then what did Elder Wu mean by what he said just now? Blame me for instigating Fourth Martial Uncle to make trouble. For something that I, Xie Ning, did not do, Elder Wu is going to slander me with empty words, and you want me to swallow it?"

The more Xie Rulan talked, the more angry she became, and she really had the look of being wronged and not angry.

Seeing this, Chen Qianfan had no choice but to give up first, stood up and persuaded: "A'Ning is worrying too much, I believe Elder Wu didn't mean that."

Elder Wu didn't expect that the pot would be thrown on his head in the end, and the movement outside the window was also forgotten by him. He lowered his head with a sullen face and didn't know what he was thinking. Feeling a little bit unwilling.

"Just now, it's because the old man disrespected the venerable. It's all because the old man was outspoken and misunderstood the venerable. This matter has nothing to do with the acting landlord. No matter how the venerable punishes the old man, he dare not complain."

Elder Wu even apologized, no matter how angry Xie Rulan was, he couldn't hold on to this point, after all, this person was still an old man in Fengxue Building, Xie Rulan's elder.

Xie Rulan took a deep breath, her breath finally eased for a while, and said: "I'm tired, so I won't accompany you two, Master Chen, Elder Wu, I won't see you off now."

He was obviously chasing away guests again, Chen Qianfan didn't bother anymore, and only gently instructed: "Then Ah Ning is better off resting, don't get tired, the uncle is leaving first."

He glanced at Elder Wu, and quickly left with his people.

The two didn't stop in the courtyard to check, and walked out of the courtyard quickly. Looking at their expressions, they were so cold that people dare not approach them.

Only then did Xiao Xingyu feel relieved, and suddenly the window beside him was opened, and Xiao Xingyu had nowhere to hide.

He smiled embarrassedly at the person by the window, waved his hand and said, "Xie Ning..."

Xie Rulan looked at him with a frown, and there seemed to be some anger in her eyes, and she sighed softly: "It really is you."

As soon as he said Xiao Xingyu, he knew that Xie Rulan had already guessed that he was hiding by the window. Didn't Xie Rulan say that just now to help him?

Immediately, he was in a good mood. Before Xiao Xingyu could speak, he saw Xie Rulan turn around and go back, leaving only one sentence, "Come in."
