Xi He took the medicine bowl and went upstairs with Wang Shu at the right time. The night was very quiet, except for the two's footsteps, there was almost no sound in the inn.

"Snapped"

Something shattered, and Xi He quickly realized that the sound was coming from Ji Xingmian's room, and immediately stepped over the last few steps, pushed the door open and rushed in.

"Son!"

Ji Xingmian seemed to have just woken up, his long hair was not tied, and he simply put on a robe.There are broken cups at the feet, and the splashed tea is still misty.

"I just woke up and didn't pay attention." Ji Xingmian apologized, "The water is a bit hot."

As he spoke, he leaned over to pick it up, but a long cut was made in his left hand by the broken porcelain, and blood gushed out in the blink of an eye and melted into the water.

"Don't move, I'll clean it up!" Xi He entered the room in a hurry, put the tray in his hand on the table, helped Ji Xingmian to sit on the other side, and did not forget to tell Wang Shu who had just come up, "Help the young master with the medicine, I'll clean up here."

Wang Shu responded, closed the door behind his back, took out the medicine bottle from his arms and put it aside.He took clean water to wash the wound clean, and was about to apply medicine, but there was a sudden stop in his movements.

Why does the shape of this wound look so similar to...

Wang Shu subconsciously turned her head and searched through the pile of broken porcelain, trying to find the one that matched the wound on Ji Xingmian's hand.Ke Xihe scanned too quickly, he scanned back and forth twice but couldn't find a suitable one, but Ji Xingmian waited for too long and started calling him, "Wangshu?"

Ji Xingmian asked, "Why are you in a daze?"

"It's okay." Wang Shu came back to his senses, shook his head, lowered his head and continued to bandage Ji Xingmian's wound.

It should be that he was overthinking, no one would draw a sword on his hand without any trouble.

The decoction was sprinkled on Xihe's last few steps upstairs, but it had little effect. Ji Xingmian didn't allow him to boil it again, so he just drank it.

He drank more medicine than water in the past few days, and he didn't need Xi and the two to persuade him, so he took it up and drank it all in one gulp.Don't use candied fruit or honey water after drinking, a glass of water is enough.

After drinking the medicine, Ji Xingmian asked about the situation of the underground palace outside Wangshu City. After listening, he asked him, "On your way back, it seems that someone is going there again?"

Wang Shu said: "Yes, but some of them go to the underground palace, and some go to other directions after leaving the city. I don't know what they are going to do."

Xi He said: "They must have gone to report the news."

Wang Shu: "Report the news?"

"When I was in the inn earlier, there was a man who made a secret move and was taught by the young master. He asked the young master if he came from the imperial capital, and said that he would cooperate with the young master."

Xi He briefly told Wang Shu what happened in the lobby before, and finally said: "Those people you mentioned probably think that the value of this underground palace is higher than they thought, so they went out to send a message to the master or the backer."

"If you ask me to say that this Liu Rong is really stupid." After Xi He finished speaking, he curled his lips and commented: "Isn't he adding more competitors to himself by doing this?"

Wang Shu didn't think like him, and frowned, "I always think it's not that simple."

Xi He didn't take it seriously, "You think too much, it can't be his intention..."

Ji Xingmian said, "He did it on purpose."

The two looked at him in surprise, Xi He scratched his head, puzzled and said, "Then what is he planning?"

Ji Xingmian didn't answer immediately, but after pondering for a while, asked Wang Shu, "Did anyone notice you on the way back?"

Wang Shu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Probably not."

"That's good." Ji Xingmian said: "Tomorrow you change into your attire and set off separately from us. Don't let others recognize you."

This means to act separately, Wang Shu nodded yes.

"My lord." Xi He couldn't help asking, "The one whose surname is Liu?"

"Don't worry about him for now." Ji Xingmian shook his head, "Let's see if he will come to see us again tomorrow."

After explaining this, the night was already dark.Ji Xingmian declined their request to watch the night outside on the grounds that they were recharging their energy, and sent the two of them to the next room.

After the two left, Ji Xingmian sat in the room for a while, raised his left hand slightly, and untied the bandage tied on it.Under the bandage, most of the hideous wounds had scabbed and healed. If Xi and the two saw this scene, they would be shocked.

How can someone's wound heal so quickly?

Ji Xingmian looked down at the wound, his eyes darkened.After a long while, he suddenly clenched his fists and tightened his fingers. The wound that had just scabbed was torn apart again. The sharp pain burned from the palm along the meridians, but he seemed to feel no pain until the wound was rubbed into a hard He let go of his hand again.

The dark room was very quiet, only Ji Xingmian's breathing was a little faster than before. He calmed down for a moment, lowered his head, and slowly rewrapped the loose bandages.

It's not that he can't feel the pain, but now he needs the pain to confirm that he is not dreaming.

At that time, most of the seats in the lobby were full. On the surface, they seemed to be having a good conversation, but they all seemed to have nails stuck under their buttocks. Their eyes flicked past the corner of the stairs from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.

Everyone sat from Mao to Si, and it seemed that it was going to noon. Finally, some people couldn't sit still, stood up from their seats, and said: "Young master, you look like a fool, you love me!" Just wait for yourself, I won’t serve you anymore.”

After finishing speaking, the man walked away boldly with a knife in his hand, and the rest of the people in the lobby hesitated for a while, and then followed suit.But after a while, only a few people were left in the lobby that was originally full.

At the seat near the wall, someone asked the person next to him in a low voice, "Senior Brother Liu, why don't we go too?"

This person is Liu Rong who had a conflict with Ji Xingmian yesterday, he shook his head when he heard that, "No rush, let's wait."

The person who asked the question hesitated to speak, but finally swallowed it back.

They sat for another quarter of an hour. Seeing that Liu Rong was about to lose his composure, there was finally movement on the second floor.

The door opened with a "squeak", and Ji Xingmian came out of the room accompanied by Xi He.

He changed into a sky blue brocade robe today, and wore a cloak of the same color. His long hair was gathered into a jade crown, which made his complexion fairer and his eyes picturesque.It's just that the hand stove held in his arms reduced his innate coldness a little, making him look a little more mortal.

Everyone unconsciously stared blankly for a moment, and they didn't come back to their senses until they reached the door.Liu Rong gave a low cough, and brought a few recovered juniors to meet him, and said with a smile, "Master Ji is going to the underground palace too?"

Ji Xingmian didn't speak, but Xi He glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Where is our son going, and when do we need to tell you?"

"It's not a coincidence." Liu Rong was a little embarrassed, "My junior brother also just finished eating, and if Mr. Ji is going to the underground palace, we will also drop by, so we can go together."

Some people around who didn't catch up with the suit also hurriedly echoed. This one didn't catch up after eating a bad stomach, and the other just woke up from oversleeping. In short, each had their own reasons.

Xi He curled his lips, wanted to say something, but held back, and looked at Ji Xingmian beside him.Ji Xingmian didn't care, he just said something casual, then turned his eyes and walked out the door.

Everyone quickly raised their feet, and Wu Yangyang followed behind him.

So a strange scene appeared in the frontier town where no one had been seen for several years. A young man in green clothes who looked like an exiled fairy walked in the front, followed by a young man with a sword. It is row after row of cultivators with knives and guns.

The young master and young man at the front seemed to be taking a stroll in the garden, while those behind seemed to have eaten their stomachs badly, and their faces turned green one by one.

Without him, I can only blame Ji Xingmian for walking too slowly.But he had a good posture, and coughed lowly from time to time, looking like he was just recovering from a serious illness.Everyone wanted to urge a word, but they were also silenced.

And... they still want to follow others.

It was already noon when they walked out of the city gate.

Ji Xingmian seemed to notice the time just now, looked up at the sky, and said to himself, "It's getting late."

Everyone: "..." You know that too.

Perhaps it was because the resentment on everyone's faces was too obvious, Ji Xingmian actually smiled lightly, which was fleeting.

It's hard to describe what that smile is like, like the ice and snow melting, and like the cool wind in summer.Just a moment is enough to make people remember for a lifetime.

When everyone came back to their senses, they happened to hear Ji Xingmian ordering Xi He next to him, "Let's hurry up."

Xi He should be happy, and pulled out his sword with a "shua".

Everyone cheered up, and before they had time to react, they watched the two go away with their swords. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the sky without even seeing their shadows.

"???"

Everyone: "!!!" You play us!

Outside the underground palace, Xi and Yujian fell to the ground, and laughed loudly: "Master, it's so funny, did you see that Liu's face, it's so colorful, hahaha, I'm dying of laughter."

Xi He laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back, tears were coming out of his eyes, and the cold wind dried his face again.Ji Xingmian waited for him for a long time before they set off again.

They did not land directly near the underground palace, but a little farther away. When the two arrived outside the underground palace, the people who had been dropped by them at the gate of the city earlier had also arrived at the underground palace. Seeing them appear, most of their eyes were filled with unhappiness.

Ji Xingmian let them scrutinize him, and led Xi He forward with his normal expression.

There were quite a few people around outside the underground palace, some came in the morning, and some didn't go back at all last night. When they saw him coming, they looked at him half vigilantly and half hesitantly.

Someone stepped forward to stop him, politely and forcefully, "Young master..."

Just as he opened his mouth, there was a "boom" sound of boulders moving in front of him, and people shouted excitedly, "Open it."

This sound attracted everyone's attention, and after the dust scattered, a small opening that only allowed one person to pass through appeared under the boulder.

The entrance of the cave was dark, and the bottom could not be seen at a glance. The melted snow continued to seep out, accompanied by the whining cold wind. At first glance, it looked like the mouth of a starving beast.
