"No." Xiao Lianbi said, "I still have something important to do, so let's go first."

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment the servant stretched out his hand and dragged him into the door, "What are you doing?!" Xiao Lianbi was a little anxious.

"Hush!" The servant closed the door with a bang, turned around and said to Xiao Lianbi with a terrified expression, "My lord, you will die if you go out now!"

Xiao Lianbi was stunned when he heard the words, "...why?"

"In short, son, let me go in first. The specific reason will be understood by our palace master later."

In this way, Xiao Lianbi followed the servant all the way to the front hall.

When he arrived, the man who carried Hu'er away was already sitting on the main seat, and he happened to be looking at him leisurely.

The servant retreated, and the young man sitting on the upper seat said to him, "My lord, please sit down."

Xiao Lianbi sat down as promised.

"Dhu'er told me everything. He said that you, young master, saved him from a black bear in the woods outside the city. As Hu'er's father, I really don't know how to thank you, young master."

Xiao Lianbi replied indifferently: "It's just a little effort, is his injury okay?"

"I just sent someone to bandage him. Although the wound was deeper, the bleeding was stopped in time and no serious consequences were caused. But I have to thank you, son, for treating him with spiritual power in advance, otherwise This child will suffer later."

"It's good that he's fine." Xiao Lianbi replied.

The young man smiled and said, "My lord must have heard that servant mention it." After he finished speaking, his gaze swept Xiao Lianbi's body up and down.

"That's right." Xiao Lianbi didn't intend to play around with the other party, "He said I would die if I went out now."

The young man was not surprised at all when he heard this, instead he picked up a cup of tea on the desk and took a sip slowly, "He's telling the truth."

"Why?" Xiao Lianbi was really puzzled. He had entered Sleepless City for less than an hour, and he hadn't done anything. Why was he killed inexplicably?

The young man put down the teacup, and suddenly changed the topic, "Young Master, you are not a member of our demon clan."

Xiao Lianbi's body tensed up when he heard the words, and he stared straight at the other party without speaking.

At this moment, the atmosphere became tense.

As if wanting to ease the tense atmosphere, the young man smiled and continued, "Young master, don't be nervous. No matter what your status is, you are my son's savior."

Xiao Lianbi secretly tightened the palm of his sleeve, and after a while, asked: "I want to know the reason."

The young man suddenly stood up from his seat, "In our Sleepless City, there is an unwritten prohibition."

As he spoke, he walked towards Xiao Lianbi's location, "No matter when, where, or whoever is in the city, blue cannot appear."

At this time, he had already walked in front of Xiao Lianbi, glanced at the other party's clothes, and said with a light smile: "If anyone is daring to walk around the city wearing a blue shirt, he will be executed on the spot by the patrolling demon soldiers in the city, and become a swordsman." Down with the souls of the dead."

Xiao Lianbi blinked, and it took a while to recover from what the other party said, "...I never knew there was such a ban in Sleepless City."

No wonder those demons looked at him like dead people after he entered the city. It turned out that it was because of this reason.

"Although those who don't know are innocent, this is the City of Insomnia after all, and the Demon Lord is the ruler of this city, so how many of the prohibitions he issued dare to violate?"

As he spoke, the young man took out a set of neatly folded white clothes from behind his back like a conjurer, and handed them to Xiao Lianbi, "So you should do as the Romans do."

Xiao Lianbi paused before taking the shirt, "...Thank you."

"My lord, you are too polite. You are Hu'er's savior, and a mere set of clothes is not enough to repay your kindness to Hu'er."

Xiao Lianbi's mood is a bit complicated now, recalling that he was wearing this blue shirt, swaggering around in Sleepless City, but he was not able to meet the patrolling demon soldiers, he felt both lucky and a little scared, if It wasn't for the person in front of him who told him the truth, he didn't even know that he escaped from death by a narrow margin.

"However, many people have seen me when I came in from the city gate just now. Is it really okay for you to let me enter the mansion now?"

Although I don't know that there is such an absurd ban on insomniac city that forbids the appearance of blue, it is his own fault after all. Even if he is captured by the magic soldiers, he will admit it. It was because he wanted to save him that he was allowed to enter the mansion. If he caused the whole mansion of the other party to suffer because of this, then he would really be guilty.

The young man was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and looked at him without blinking, not knowing what he thought of.

Xiao Lianbi understood as soon as the other party was silent, picked up the white shirt and stood up, "I have fulfilled my promise to bring Hu'er back safely, thank you for reminding me, I have been bothering you at home for a long time, It's inconvenient to stay longer, now..."

"You misunderstood! That's not what I meant." The young man interrupted Xiao Lianbi, "It's just been a long time since I've met someone who cares so much about my safety. I'm a little surprised."

The other party's thinking was a little jumpy, and it took Xiao Lianbi a while to understand what he wanted to express, "No matter what, I'd better leave as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad for you to get involved."

The young man suddenly laughed softly, and looked at Xiao Lianbi with a bit of deep emotion in his eyes, "You don't have to worry about me, just stay here with peace of mind."

"That's not good..." He still wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of the hero, so what's the point of living in the mansion like this, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'd better leave first."

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, but the young man held his wrist at this moment, walked up to him, and said with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "At present, the patrolling demon soldiers in the city have already started to move around, if you go out at this moment, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. It’s hard not to meet them.”

Xiao Lianbi was about to say that he could pretend to be an adult demon to pass the test, but the young man saw through, "My lord, the fairy aura around you is very different from our demon aura, no one will believe that you are from the demon clan."

The last sliver of luck in Xiao Lianbi's heart was exposed by the other party, and his usual indifferent expression also fluctuated a little. His current situation really complied with the saying that entering the city is easy and leaving the city is difficult.

The young man let go of Xiao Lianbi's wrist, and whispered towards the door: "Come here."

Two people dressed as maids walked in slowly from the door, "What is the order of the palace master?"

The young man turned his head sideways, looked at Xiao Lianbi and said, "Take this young master to the east wing."

At the end, he added, "This is Hu'er's savior, so don't neglect it."

The two maids nodded and said "yes", they went straight to Xiao Lianbi and made a gesture of please, "Please, my lord."

Xiao Lianbi was still a little hesitant at this moment, and turned his gaze to the young man next to him, "I don't want to stay at the mansion anymore, if I get into trouble with you..."

The young man chuckled again, "You can stay here in peace."

After saying that, he suddenly leaned over to Xiao Lianbi's ear, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about me."

When the young man spoke, all his heat sprayed on Xiao Lianbi's ears, and Xiao Lianbi reflexively stepped back half a step away from the other party. He felt that this person might have... misunderstood him.

Seeing this, the look in the young man's eyes brightened a bit, and he said in a calm and gentle voice: "You should be tired too, go to rest earlier, what can we talk about tomorrow?"

After Xiao Lianbi quickly turned around what the other party said in his mind, he felt that it was not unreasonable, let alone the demon soldiers patrolling the city, it was indeed getting late now, and he couldn't find a place to stay for a while , it's better to stay in this mansion for one night first, and wait until dawn to talk about other things.

So Xiao Lianbi nodded lightly, "If that's the case, I won't bother you."

The young man also nodded, and told the two maids beside him, "Serve this young master wholeheartedly."

"Yes." The two maids replied, "My lord, please go this way."

Xiao Lianbi left as promised.

The young man stayed where he was, watching Xiao Lianbi's back leave. After the other person's figure left completely, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and there was a bit of treacherous and unpredictable emotion in his eyes.

"I haven't met such a person for a long time..."

The voice fell into the night, was swept up by the black wind, and dissipated in the air.

When he came to a strange place, there were still dangers that he could not predict, so Xiao Lianbi didn't sleep well this time. He was thinking about these troublesome things in his mind until midnight, when his body couldn't bear it, so he fell asleep .

However, poor sleep quality did not affect his deep sleep, so he couldn't wake up until early in the morning, and was finally woken up by a knock on the door outside the house.

Xiao Lianbi sat up from the bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, put on a coat and went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw a little boy with horns on his head, "Big Brother!"

It's like Hu'er.

He was being held in someone's arms at the moment, with an excited smile on his face, Xiao Lianbi replied slowly, "Why are you here?"

"As soon as Hu'er woke up, she wanted to see you. Did we disturb your rest by coming too early?"

Xiao Lianbi moved his gaze upwards slowly, only then did he realize that the person holding Hu'er was the young man from last night, who was looking at him with a smile on his lips.

"No, I slept too deeply." Xiao Lianbi replied.

Hu'er struggled in the young man's arms, but was stopped by the young man, "Your leg injury is still not healed, don't move around."

Hu'er curled her lips, and said unwillingly, "But I have something to give to big brother."

"I'm holding you, and it's the same when you give it to big brother."

Hearing this, Hu'er's expression suddenly became serious, and she whispered, "Father must not see this thing."

The young man reached out and pinched Hu'er's small face, "How old are you that you learn to hide it from me?"

Hu'er pursed her lips, and said vaguely: "Anyway...you can't tell father, this is a secret between me and big brother..."
