Wen Moxian pressed the strings of the zither, looking at the sparkling lake, four figures quickly swept up from the opposite boat, and the figures stepped on the water from the lake.

Zixi and the others looked happy, while Wen Moxian turned to look at Gu Liuxi.

Soon, two men and two women landed on the bow of the boat. When they saw Wen Moxian sitting cross-legged in the middle, they all half-knelt down and said in a low voice: "My subordinates will see the Pavilion Master!"

Wen Moxian's expression was a little helpless, and he said softly: "It's been so many years, and every time you have to fix these false rituals, get up."

When the four knelt down, all of them were looking at Wen Moxian's complexion. Under the dim light, he was still a little pale, but when he spoke, he was calm and energetic, much better than in previous years, so he stood up quickly. The face is full of joy.

The plain-clothed woman in the middle smiled and said, "Pavilion Master, it's rare for us to see you in a year. It's just this one time, even if it's an empty courtesy, it's just that the Pavilion Master seldom played the piano in previous years, so we almost missed it."

Several other people also echoed, Wen Moxian smiled and asked them all to sit down.

"I just played the music at random, and I can't compare to Ah Yue's hard work."

With a smile on her face, Yueqing looked at Wen Moxian carefully.

Gu Liuxi, who was at the side, hid her emotions and stood up to pour tea for the four of them.

Yueqing and the others had noticed Gu Liuxi sitting next to Wen Moxian early in the morning, thinking of what Su Yan said in the letter, they were also looking at her calmly.

Gu Liuxi was silent just now because she suddenly saw Su Wang. When she heard that Mo Xian died in her previous life, he was the man who was by her side.At that moment, he inevitably thought of the scene at that time, but when he saw the people still sitting beside him, he quickly put away the pain and smiled decently at them.

Seeing her like this, Bai Ling raised her eyebrows and laughed lightly: "Master, is this Miss Xi'er?"

Wen Moxian didn't speak, but just smiled at Gu Liuxi.

Gu Liuxi's face was heated by her smile, but she still said politely: "My lord, Gu Liuxi, I've heard Mo Xian mention a few of them before, and I've been a little curious about them, but I'm lucky enough to meet you today. But all I know is that this is Miss Bai Ling. One is Miss Yueqing, and Su Wang, Brother Su, but I don't know the other one."

Bai Ling was a little surprised, pointing to the taciturn man in black and said: "This is Su Qi, the deputy head of Xuanji Hall." Then he said to Wen Moxian: "Master, could it be that you still use a small portrait to introduce us? , Miss Xi'er can tell who is who at a glance?"

Wen Moxian shook her head, with a slight smile in her eyes, she just mentioned the names and positions of several of them to Gu Liuxi.

"Mo Xian briefly told me about the affairs of the supervisors. I was just guessing. It was just a coincidence."

Yueqing has been quietly watching Wen Moxian and Gu Liuxi since she said a word, and now she heard her words, and said softly: "Miss Liuxi sees it so clearly, think about what we usually call If you conceal your identity, you may be deceiving yourself."

Wen Mo Xian's expression was slightly restrained, and he looked up at Yue Qing, but saw that she looked away unnaturally, and Bai Ling who was beside him secretly pulled down her sleeve.

The tone of Yueqing's words was very strange, which made the scene a little awkward. Seeing Gu Liuxi's somewhat stunned look, Wen Moxian couldn't help frowning.

Gu Liuxi naturally noticed the trace of hostility in Yueqing's words, and she laughed a little in her heart. If she had lived to be 16 years old, she might not know what was going on, but she had the experience of being by Ran Qingying's side in her previous life, as well as her own acquaintance. She had guessed the reason for Mo Xian's feelings.Glancing at Mo Xian, she realized that she was frowning, and hurriedly said, "Miss Yueqing was joking, you are here to see Mo Xian today, so you won't hide it in front of her as usual, so I'm in love with you." Light, I can see the true dispositions of you guys. And I'm not sure, and I plan to ask you guys to spare me if I guess wrong."

Gu Liuxi said that she didn't care, her tone was full of teasing, and when she smiled so playfully, there was always a hint of innocence and agility at her age, which made the others laugh too, and it was gone. Embarrassment at the time.

Wen Moxian turned his head to look at her, with a smile in his eyes, but he couldn't hide his pampering.

Yueqing pursed her lips and eyes, and soon returned to normal.

Wen Moxian glanced at the few people, and asked, "Did you run into trouble on the way?"

Su Wang immediately replied: "Yes, when we entered Taihu Lake, we found a few small fishing boats following us intentionally or unintentionally. We took a detour to deal with them, and then changed boats to come over, so it was delayed."

"Then did someone follow you all the way?" Wen Moxian asked in a low voice while holding a teacup.

"Yes!"

Bai Ling was also a little worried: "Pavilion Master, Xinxi Pavilion seems to have been exposed. Recently, people have discovered several strongholds in Yuzhou, and even handed over their hands. Some people followed us quietly along the way, probably trying to find out what happened to us. what to do."

"Have you found out who is investigating Xinxi Pavilion?"

"I've checked. At present, there are only a few small gangs, such as Qixingmen and Quicksand Gang. This time they followed us well, and they are a bit like Luoxialou." Speaking of this, Bai Ling suddenly added: "Not long ago, Ruojun sent a message , she confronted Luoxialou and saved a person, who she said was a traitor of Luoxialou."

"Is she all right?"

"Don't worry, Master, everything is fine."

Wen Mo Xian nodded, then fell silent.

Seven Star Gate, Quicksand Gang, thinking of these two names, Gu Liuxi felt a little familiar.After thinking about it, she suddenly remembered that she had been to this sect of the Quicksand Gang before, and she accompanied Ran Qingying. It seemed that she was going to meet someone who had been arrested by the Quicksand Gang.Gu Liuxi frowned. It seems that the Nether Sect has already paid attention to Xinxi Pavilion, and it seems to be much earlier than in the previous life. What's going on?

Seeing her frowning tightly, Wen Moxian couldn't help but ask, "Xi'er, what's wrong?"

Gu Liuxi quickly relaxed her face, and replied: "I was just thinking, Xinxi Pavilion has been hidden for so long, and has never revealed the news. The Seven Stars Gate and the Quicksand Gang are small sects, how could they think of this place? And no matter how big the stronghold is, they will never let it go. No matter how overestimated one's ability is, one won't rashly move a few together."

"So there must be someone behind to support you." Su Wang and the others also thought of it, and took the opportunity to answer.

"And even if it is support, who would bother to support two small sects to deal with a force that only exists in rumors. And these actions are probably irrelevant to Xin Xige."

Wen Moxian listened to Gu Liuxi's words, and then opened his mouth: "So it's just a test, and they know that you will go to Suzhou these days, in other words, they want to find out my identity."

The faces of Yueqing and the others changed greatly: "How could it be?!"

If Wen Moxian's guess is correct, then there must be a traitor in Xinxi Pavilion.Wen Moxian's identity has always been a top secret, and only a few hall masters and deputy hall masters in the pavilion really know her identity, so these people know that they will come to Suzhou to find Wen Moxian before the Mid-Autumn Festival.But these people were all cultivated by Wen Moxian himself, so would someone betray her?

Knowing what they were thinking, Wen Moxian took a sip of his tea: "The people I picked by myself will not betray me. And those people are just following you, and there is no movement in Suzhou City to indicate that anyone is looking for me. If they rebel, I'm afraid I can be found directly. I feel that this person knows my existence and knows that you will come to see me, but he doesn't know who I am."

Su Wang and the others fell into deep thought for a moment, and then their faces turned ugly.There are only a few people in the cabinet who know that they will meet with the cabinet master regularly, and almost all of them are people they have trusted in recent years. They know a lot about the affairs of the cabinet. Once someone really rebels, the consequences will be very serious .

After Wen Moxian finished speaking, he remained silent, but there was a faint chill on his face that didn't show a trace of waves.She slowly raised her head and scanned the faces of several people, and said in a low voice: "I once said, I don't force them to work for me. If you want to live and work in peace, you can leave at any time. But once you choose to stay, What I want is absolute loyalty. I can tolerate making mistakes, but I cannot tolerate betrayal. Yue Qing, Bai Ling, you have neglected your duties."

Wen Moxian has always been gentle, but they never dared to touch her bottom line. No matter how gentle a person who has gone through so many hardships, once she takes it seriously, it will be even more frightening.Although Wen Moxian's voice was still moderate, the indifference contained in it was clear.Bai Ling and Yue Qing's complexion changed, they got up and knelt down, and said anxiously: "Palace Master, forgive me!"

Su Wang and Su Qi also knelt down: "This subordinate is also negligent."

Gu Liuxi hesitated to speak, afraid that Wen Mo Xian would be too angry, but she didn't want to interfere with her decision.

"Get up." Wen Moxian's tone was flat, but it carried an irreversible pressure.

Bai Ling and the others looked at each other a few times, and stood aside nervously.

"I don't want to pursue it, but I just want you not to be too careless. I don't want to see this kind of thing again next time! Immediately send a message to everyone in the cabinets to be vigilant. Except for the Xuanwu Order, all other orders will be invalidated. All suspicious people Give me all the relevant information, and follow closely in secret, and don't let me leak any of it!"

Bai Ling straightened his expression, and said respectfully, "Yes!"

Wen Moxian paused for a moment: "Also, continue to keep an eye on the Netherworld Sect and the Famous Sword Villa, and don't let go of any disturbances. The Luoxia Building has been restless recently. Since if you have fought against them, let the Shadow Hall take care of you." Will meet the so-called, endless killers."

Su Wang hurriedly nodded in response, but Bai Qing was a little worried: "Pavilion Master, what about your identity? Do you want to send someone to interfere with their sight for the time being?"

"Don't worry, they are in the dark when they think about it, let them find it. Now everything is in place, even if it's a complete showdown, it doesn't matter. I have prepared a big show for them. As for where we can sing, it depends on who we are Soon." There was a hint of smile in Wen Moxian's eyes, but there was no trace of warmth, and the usually gentle person seemed to be covered with a layer of coldness at this moment.

Su Wang and the others were naturally aware of Wen Moxian's coldness. They had been planning for several years, and they had been hiding it all the time. Now that they were finally able to really show their skills, the oppressive and dull atmosphere just now was swept away, and they all said in unison : "The subordinates will definitely do their best!"

Wen Moxian plucked the strings of the qin, and said in a leisurely manner: "According to the current situation, before the good show starts, you can warm up the scene first. I'm afraid you will be tired after coming all the way, let Su Yan take you to rest first , about the matter in the cabinet, let me talk about it tomorrow."

Seeing that the atmosphere finally eased, Su Yan hurriedly said: "Master, go back to rest first, and Bai Ling and I Shun Shun want them to investigate some things recently."

Wen Moxian nodded. The boat had already landed. Gu Liuxi, who had been listening to their conversation, got up and touched her hand. It was still cold. She couldn't help tightening her cloak for her. People nod their goodbyes.

Wen Moxian's brows and eyes were still soft, and the cold expression seemed to be just an illusion of everyone.Turning around to get off the boat with Gu Liuxi, after walking two steps, Wen Moxian stopped, turned around and said in a low voice, "Since all of you are here, I would like to make a request."

Bai Ling and the others listened to her and looked at her intently.

Wen Moxian looked down at Gu Liuxi holding her hand, and said sternly: "No matter what the situation is in the future, and whether I'm here or not, as long as you still recognize me as the pavilion master, you can treat her the same way you treat me, okay? ?”

Yueqing and the others were startled, Gu Liuxi squeezed Wen Mo Xian's hand, and shouted, "Mo Xian!"

Wen Moxian signaled her not to speak. The person with bland eyes under the moonlight just quietly looked at the few people who had followed her since she was a child. There was no coercion or order in her words, as if it was just an exhortation from a friend. But it made a few people's hearts tense.Wen Moxian's words had a clear meaning. Rather than asking several people to treat Gu Liuxi equally, it was more like hoping that Xin Xige would protect Gu Liuxi after her death.

It's not that Wen Moxian is pessimistic, it's just that for those who care about her, she always feels that all the plans are not thorough enough, she can only consider all the worst endings before things happen.

Yue Qing glanced at Wen Moxian in a very complicated manner, then stared at Gu Liuxi who had a depressed and depressed expression, and then closed her eyes.

Several people were silent for a while, and finally Su Wang reluctantly opened his mouth: "Pavilion Master, Su Wang's life is given by you, no matter what, as long as the Pavilion Master thinks, Su Wang will die!"

Bai Ling and the others looked a little bit bitter, then they raised their eyebrows together and said: "What the pavilion master thinks, I will die!"

Wen Moxian smiled slightly, and said softly, "Thank you very much."

Turning around and following Gu Liuxi to the lakeshore, that thin figure was still elegant and beautiful, accompanied by the people around her, finally she lost the loneliness of the past, and slowly blended into the night all the way.
