Regardless of whether the person in front of him is really at ease or not, Bai Xucheng hopes that he is from the bottom of his heart.

Even if the other party showed extreme distrust or even hostility toward him, it was obviously a huge misunderstanding of what happened that year...

Even if there is already someone beside him standing side by side, the two of them are intimate...

As long as Xiaoran is still alive, it is something to be thankful for!

After saluting to Qiao Heng, Bai Xucheng finally looked at Xiao Ran slowly: "This fellow Taoist, I'm afraid he is Brother Xiao, the beloved disciple of the noble Taoist. Xu Cheng...has admired his name for a long time."

Although Xiao Ran is a Taoist's direct disciple, he is young after all, and his cultivation level is quite far from the master of the Ruoye Palace.

As the ancestor of Huashen, Bai Xucheng was so approachable, and he didn't show any airs to Xiao Ran. If it was placed on any Jindan under normal circumstances, he would have been very honored.

However, no matter how attentive and kind Bai Xucheng is, it is impossible for Xiao Ran to give Patriarch Bai a good look, but if he shows too much hostility, it is really difficult to explain his behavior.

Back then at Huxi Mountain to prevent Bai Xucheng from exchanging a large sum of spirit stones, he could have explained to Qiao Heng that he deliberately made things difficult because he couldn't understand Bai Xucheng's "sanctuary" style.

But now Bai Xucheng made a special trip to see Qiao Heng, and his attitude was very modest, there was nothing wrong with it.

If Xiao Ran was still frowning coldly at this time, it would seem a little inexplicable.

He felt awkward for a moment, and when he was about to cup his hands to express his response, a sentence suddenly popped into his mind.

"Where is Yuan Qin?" It was obviously not the voice of Old Ancestor Qiao.

Although Xiao Ran was very surprised when he heard Bai Xucheng's sudden sound transmission, he tried his best to restrain his emotions, and only showed a puzzled expression to the other party.

After Lu Xiaoran was in charge of the Luluo Temple back then, he was free and easy by nature, or in other words, lazy, so he was not like the other hall masters. After taking power, he quickly gathered the demon cultivators attached to the Luluo Temple to expand own power.

It is precisely because of the strong and powerful Ruoye Hall Master Bai Xucheng who has always been there to protect it that the Luluo Hall has become a famous quiet place in the Far West.

Some demon cultivators who want to stay away from disputes as much as possible are willing to gather together, and together with the master Lu Zhenren, practice and live in the cloud-shrouded, dreamlike fairyland on earth all day long.

At that time, Daoist Xiaoyao had a few personal maids by his side, who were mainly responsible for taking care of the beautiful scenery in his bedroom and the precious spiritual plants used by the master for alchemy together with him.

Externally, Lu Xiaoran still has two confidant demon cultivators under his command, both of whom are "old men" who have followed him for many years.

One is named Yizhang and the other is named Yuanqin.

However, after Lu Xiaoran got the Hunyuan Pearl and was hunted down, several maidservants were murdered by those who coveted the Hunyuan Pearl one after another. Yuan Qin was also killed by Taoist Pengyang in order to protect Lu Xiao, which was personally witnessed by Xiao Ran. See.

Yi Zhang was seriously injured in the process of covering him, and he used his last strength to lure away the pursuers. He never saw Yi Zhang again until Lu Xiaoran was forced to blew himself up, so Xiao Ran guessed that this confidant should also be in danger. .

Now Bai Xucheng's sudden sound transmission to Xiao Ran was enough to make him wary, and he didn't mention Yi Zhang whose whereabouts were unknown, but instead mentioned Yuan Qin who was obviously dead, which made people feel extremely weird.

Xiao Ran knew very well that mentioning his confidant was Bai Xucheng's test—to test whether he was Lu Xiaoran.

Of course, no matter why the other party mentioned Yuan Qin, it was impossible for Xiao Ran to let Bai Xucheng confirm his identity, so he resolutely pretended to be stupid and pretended not to understand.

Qiao Heng immediately noticed Xiao Ran's strangeness, and when he realized something, he immediately spread his coercion, and was completely on guard against Bai Xucheng.

……

Although he didn't get the response he longed for, Bai Xucheng already believed that the person in front of him was the person he was thinking about day and night, so he didn't feel too disappointed.

The reason why he only mentions the dead Yuan Qin but not the missing Yi Zhang is actually to ensure the safety of some of his trump cards before Xiao Ran admits that he is Lu Xiaoran.

In case Xiao Ran was really not the real Xiaoyao back then, he might not be able to think of anything else when he heard this strange name for no reason.

Even if he knew something about Xiaoyao Zhenren based on such a name, he would not discover anything deeper.

For example, Yi Zhang, whose whereabouts are unknown, is actually still alive, and he was caught by him, and he is currently being imprisoned in the water prison of Ruoye Temple.

After interrogation, Bai Xucheng learned part of what happened that year from Yi Zhang.

But that's not the whole truth.

Bai Xucheng knew very well that if he could not find out all the evidence, he believed that with his happy personality, he might not forgive him easily.

It's just that this matter involves Taoist Pengyang, so the difficulty and risk are not so great.

Because Zhuang Pengyang stayed in the Wuji Palace for many years and never appeared on weekdays, and the Wuji Palace in the Far West was his domain after all, so his investigation process was full of difficulties and risks.

What's more, as long as there is still obsession with the Hunyuan Pearl, once Taoist Pengyang knows that Xiao Ran may be Xiao Ran, it will bring greater danger to Xiao Ran.

So Bai Xucheng only planned to find a way to "recognize" Xiaoran in private...

In his opinion, it is a good opportunity to take the initiative to meet Qiao Patriarch who had had a "meeting once" this time.

He took the initiative to take a step back, cupped his hands again and said: "Forgive Xu Cheng for taking the liberty, it's just because Fellow Daoist Xiao is very similar to a close friend of mine, so... I can't help it."

Hearing this, Qiao Heng immediately remembered that two years ago, this Bai Xucheng seemed to have traveled thousands of miles and worked tirelessly to Huxi for such a "best friend" just to get back the bronze Boshan furnace of that "best friend".

Reminiscent of the other party's attitude towards Li Ran just now, looking at Li Ran's eyes, as if he had said something secretly to Li Ran, Jianxiu's already very serious face suddenly sank.

He wished he could immediately hide Xiao Ran behind him, just like how little furball often hides his beloved shark bead under his belly (fog).

Noticing the close attention paid to Xiao Ran by the ancestor Qiao and his strong desire for monopoly, Bai Xucheng felt mixed feelings.

Originally, he still had some drafts, but he didn't know how to speak again for a while, so the hall fell silent for a while.

Because there are two Ancestors of God Transformation here, others dare not approach them at all, let alone eavesdrop.So there were only Xiao Ran and the three of them in the huge place, and the silence brought more embarrassment.

Xiao Ran, who had calmed down, felt that Bai Xucheng's move had a lot of meaning, and when he thought of all the past, he became even more suspicious.

Since he was reborn, the reason why he has always held a hatred of revenge against Bai Xucheng is based on the series of things he experienced because of the Hunyuanzhu, and what he saw with his own eyes at the last moment.

But if Bai Xucheng had the heart to deal with him, why bother to come here to test him?

He can tell Taoist Pengyang his "guess" and Xiao Ran's whereabouts as he did back then. Taoist Pengyang will most likely come to him because of his desire for Hunyuanzhu, isn't that all right?

Of course, Xiao Ran believed that neither Qiao Heng nor Master Chongfa Taoist would watch Pengyang Taoist come to harm him.

It is of course best to rely on one's own strength for revenge, but it is not completely unacceptable if you can use your strength to fight.

But the premise of everything is that both Qiao Heng and Taoist Chongfa will be safe and will not be harmed.

So at this time, Xiao Ran had to be more cautious, lest there was a trap in it.

……

After a while, Bai Xucheng finally took the lead to break the silence: "I don't know how long senior and Brother Xiao will stay here? I hope we will have a chance to meet again."

After a normal farewell, Bai Xucheng took a deep look at Xiao Ran, then turned and left the Sanxiu League's stronghold.

And Xiao Ran also watched Bai Xucheng closely, watching him gradually go away, looking thoughtful.

——Bai Xucheng has appeared, so he should be suspicious... If the other party has malicious intentions, then the matter of his new life may not be kept secret for long...

For Xiao Ran, this is the same as owning the Hunyuan Pearl with Xiaofudi, it is a secret deeply hidden in his heart, even Qiao Heng only knows part of the truth.

So whether to be honest with Qiao Heng before being fully exposed by Bai Xucheng seems to be a multiple-choice question.

If Xiao Ran had just been reborn a few years ago, he would definitely not have made the choice of "honesty".

Even after establishing a relationship with Qiao Heng, he didn't immediately reveal all his "secrets".

After all, some things, some things, will bring great changes.

Instead of letting them be exposed and affecting everything about him and them, it's better to hide them a little, so that everything is calm and secure.

But as the relationship between him and Qiao Heng became closer and closer, the two formed an unprecedented sense of tacit understanding and became more connected with each other. Xiao Ran often felt guilty for hiding some "big things" from Qiao Heng.

——So, should we take the risk of changing everything he owns now, and tell Qiao Heng about the past... Or in other words, in his heart, is Qiao Heng a trustworthy and devoted person?

The answer became clearer and clearer in Xiao Ran's mind.

……

Qiao Heng actually felt that Xiao Ran fell into an obviously entangled emotion after Bai Xucheng left.

He did not urge him, nor did he intend to ignore it, he was quietly waiting for Xiao Ran to make a decision.

It's like letting Xiao Ran decide whether to go to Lieyang, and waiting for Xiao Ran to make every big and small decision in the future.

He fully believed that Xiao Ran would make the smartest and most suitable decision, because he believed in Xiao Ran's judgment very much.

This trust may not be rational, but it is full of affection and confidence...

Because he has full confidence, no matter what decision the other party makes, he can stand by the other party's side in his own way and help the other party to realize it.

Xiao Ran raised his head and saw the same gaze of the sword cultivator, and suddenly he was a little more determined in his heart than when he admitted his identity as a demon cultivator.

He said to Qiao Heng through voice transmission: "Tonight, we may not have time to meditate."
