no one knows better than me

As soon as Mei Hualan finished speaking, there was indeed a very light sound of branches and leaves from a little farther in front of the left, accompanied by intermittent overlapping footsteps.

It seems that there are two people, and the voice of the conversation is also very low, and they cannot be heard clearly for the time being.The surrounding area should not be indoors, but in the mountains.Zhuang Qingliu took advantage of the limited field of vision and the moonlight to sweep the outside at a glance. Yes, the moonlight was still very bright, except for the mottled tree shadows, there was only a small shrub in front of the gap between them.

"Mei Pan, can you do it? Did you actually do it on purpose?" As the two people who were talking got closer, Zhuang Qingliu looked away from the ground, and even lightly knocked on the plum blossom rail with his foot, "Okay Why did it penetrate into the crevice of the stone? Who can this shrub, which is not as tall as a calf, cover?"

A strange color appeared in Mei Hualan's eyes, as if she had thought about it for a while, she lowered her head and held Zhuang Qingliu's hand in her palm, sending a wave of spiritual power to her, and then touched her nose with the back of her finger.

Hold your breath?

The two were sandwiched between their chests and their backs. Zhuang Qingliu didn't care about the inappropriateness of this slightly intimate gesture, and quickly asked, "Then can you make us invisible?"

Mei Hualan's thin lips were almost close to her ear and whispered: "There is no such thing."

Without that kind of thing, you are still trespassing on the Immortal Mansion?Are you kidding?And she was the most suspected person, if the Pei family pulled her out from the cracks tonight, she wouldn't be able to wash it off with bleach.

Can Mei Pan single-handedly challenge the old lair of the Immortal Mansion?Shouldn't it?

The footsteps of the two people who were talking became clear, and the shadows elongated by the moonlight could already be seen.

Zhuang Qingliu had no choice but to stay in this posture, lightly circled her hands, and walked around to Mei Hualan from behind, holding her in a half-armed posture, and touched the buds of the shrubs in front of her with downcast eyes - only knee-high shrubs In an instant, he pulled out a branch, and quietly jumped up to the height of a person in the night, and immediately covered the gap between the two behind him in the shadows.

Mei Hualan's slightly drooping eyelashes seemed to move, and she looked lightly at Zhuang Qingliu's hands around her waist.

Before Zhuang Qingliu had time to breathe a sigh of relief, a morning glory growing beside a bush on the ground also climbed up by climbing silk and twirling vines, and opened three passionate little flower buds for her.

"..." Don't do this? ?

Immortal cultivators are so sensitive, it doesn’t matter if the shrubs grow up quietly at night, but what if you suddenly bloom out-of-season flowers.

Zhuang Qingliu was so tired, she gently fiddled with the flower branch in front of her with her fingers, and signaled with her eyes that it doesn't need to bloom so lively, and quickly hide it.

Mei Hua looked at her intently, a smile seemed to appear in her eyes, and then she suddenly leaned forward and pressed her forehead against Zhuang Qingliu.

"??!" When is it going to be like this?Does the surname Mei have a clue? !

Just as Zhuang Qingliu was about to press her into the wall with his shoulders, a voice suddenly rang in his mind: "It's okay, Pei's Immortal Mansion is full of aura, and plants often bloom out of season, so don't worry about it."

This voice is not deaf, it seems to go straight to the brain - sound transmission into the secret?

As soon as Zhuang Qingliu thought about it, the people in front of him seemed to hear it.

Their foreheads touched, Mei Hualan blinked at her lightly, because they were too close, Zhuang Qingliu almost felt her eyelashes softly brushing against his eyelids as if without a trace.

Although this posture is a bit... But it is more useful. The conversation between the two people outside has gradually become clearer, so let's make it up for now.

Zhuang Qingliu remained motionless with his back against the stone cliff, and heard a young man's voice from lowered eyes: "...I know this, but does the death of big brother have anything to do with him?"

brother?In the Hundred Families of the Immortal Sect, disciples and disciples are usually referred to as brothers and sisters. Even if they were brothers once, it is the same after entering the Immortal Sect to avoid relatives and relatives. However, being able to address them as eldest brother in an open and honest manner shows that this person who speaks The young man is not an outer disciple, he should be the Pei family.

Just as Zhuang Qingliu finished thinking quickly, Mei Hualan softly said "two" in her sea of ​​consciousness.

two?Zhuang Qingliu suddenly remembered the scrolls that Mei Xiaohan had sorted out some time ago, and asked, "Pei's second son? Pei Yi?"

Mei Hualan blinked again, and lightly brushed Zhuang Qingliu's eyelashes.

"..." Zhuang Qingliu seemed to want to pat her on the waist casually, to signal her to be fine, but just as soon as his elbow moved, it hit the hard stone wall, and the pain was so painful that she couldn't help it on the spot.

Mei Hualan immediately wrapped her beard and tail gently into her arms, and said via voice transmission: "Be careful, don't move easily."

The two of them changed from leaning against each other to sticking close together. The moment Zhuang Qingliu was surrounded by Mei Xiang, he subconsciously thought: "Mei Pan looks slender and thin, but I didn't expect that there is still something—"

As soon as she finished thinking about it, she suddenly raised her eyes strangely, and sure enough... Mei Hualan also had a look on her face that she had never seen before.

Zhuang Qingliu's heart turned fancy: "...I'm not, you didn't hear."

Mei Hualan: "I heard it."

Zhuang Qingliu is still alive, but his expression is dead: "...then I have no other intentions."

Mei Hualan stared at her with flickering eyes for a moment, then said "um", then suddenly lowered her eyes and swept lightly: "You also... have something, I don't mean anything else."

Zhuang Qingliu: "..."

Why is this man suddenly like this?

So before, it was all because of being in front of the juniors?

Mei Hualan: "No, there are other reasons."

"I don't want to know!" Zhuang Qing's hairs were all blown up, and she suddenly turned her head back slightly, temporarily disconnecting this weird "bonding of foreheads, intertwining of consciousness and consciousness", this is not Bluetooth!Did the invention of this thing respect privacy?

The two of them had a strange topic in a mess, Zhuang Qingliu missed a few sentences of the outside conversation, so he had to think about it for himself

After Pei Huang, the only young suzerain of the Pei family, died, the suzerain Pei Qi adopted Pei Xuan, a son of a side branch, but for some hidden reason, in the past two years, Pei Qi actually took another person back to the Immortal Mansion from a side branch , Nominally gave him the identity of the second son to keep him by his side, named Pei Yi.

So the big brother he was talking about... refers to Pei Huang, the late and most justifiable young suzerain of the Pei clan?Or Pei Xuan who disappeared a few days ago?

Zhuang Qingliu had no time to think about it for the time being, because after a pause for a moment, an older voice replied warmly in the night: "Second Young Master, this matter has been in the suzerain's heart for more than [-] years, and it has gradually become a heart disease. The eldest son's death back then gradually created a lot of doubts in his heart, but there has been no definite evidence, so naturally I can't be sure."

More than twenty years?That is Pei Huang.But what does this sentence mean?Is there any doubt about the cause of death of Pei Huang, the young suzerain of Shangzi Pei clan?Was it killed?Then who has Pei Qi been suspicious of?Who is this answerer?

Zhuang Qingliu looked at the plum blossoms, so he had no choice but to take the initiative to send his forehead up again.

Mei Hualan tickled the corners of her eyes lightly, and quickly and concisely answered her last point: "Housekeeper."

Zhuang Qingliu's heart skipped a beat—since the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was exhausted, it was gradually difficult for people from the immortal sect to catch up with their ancestors, and their life spans became shorter and shorter.As for Shangzi Pei's little-known housekeeper, he had a profound cultivation in his early years, and now he is almost two hundred years old. He has served and sent away four or five Patriarchs all his life, but he has become more and more energetic.

"Second Young Master, you shouldn't bother with these things now, but think about how to make some things that can no longer be suppressed after the evil spirits are suppressed." The steward's voice was still very gentle, not too much From the respectful.

The overlapping lights and shadows overlapped and changed for a while. Zhuang Qingliu saw Pei Yi's tired face from the gaps in the bushes, and said: "Everything in Xuanzhou was clearly suspicious back then. Why didn't you deal with it from then on? Instead, suppress it. Don't let it go, if there is no connivance that day, how can people be passively stirred up now?"

These two sentences are probably talking about the people of the Pei family who cursed and indulged evil. This Zhuang Qingliu already knew it in his heart, so he understood it.

The butler beside him also flashed through the gap in his vision: "Second Young Master, listen to me, you can only pursue the past when you have time, and the most important thing now is to find out the behind-the-scenes that pushed things away and worsened step by step. There may be room for change in other matters."

"How to find out? Where to find it? I have no clue." Although Pei Yi's voice was calm, he couldn't hide his anxiety. "Do the people sent out have any clues?"

"Not yet, because I was afraid that someone would go missing again, some of the most capable relatives and disciples who were originally sent out were also recalled."

People disappeared one by one, but neither the searchers nor the investigators could send them out. The Pei family is almost at a dead end now, like a fish stuck to a chopping board. I will give you a knife at some time, and another knife at some time, and finally chop off your head with one knife.

The two seemed unspeakably silent, and walked slowly through the path a foot away from the bushes, but they didn't find that there were two people hiding quietly in the cracks. Pei Yi's footsteps walked away for a while, and then he said softly He added: "The fairy ship of the Mei family will arrive tomorrow."

The butler's voice was blurred in the empty night wind: "Don't worry, Second Young Master, the formations that have been arranged in the Immortal Mansion for hundreds of years have been activated. If there is no result tomorrow, no matter what the Mei family says, as long as Zhuang Qingliu enters the barrier, at least She will definitely be detained by us, if she doesn't even dare to cross the barrier, it means she really has a guilty conscience..."

Zhuang Qingliu herself: "..."

The joint knife is set up here, no wonder Mei Pan has been on the road from the beginning to the end, and seems to not want to pay attention to these crap things of the Pei family.

The two masters and servants of the Pei family gradually walked away, their voices were intermittent and could no longer be heard clearly, Mei Hualan raised her eyelids lightly, her forehead was still gently touching Zhuang Qingliu.

"... What are you looking at? Go out."

Mei Hualan suddenly said: "Don't be afraid, don't worry, their formation is gone."

"What does it mean that the formations are gone?" Zhuang Qingliu asked quickly, "Does it mean that you are going to let them go? Or did you just get rid of them the moment you came here?"

Mei Hualan said plainly: "It's gone."

"?" Zhuang Qingliu looked at her in amazement for a while, and then said, "Then you... it's not that you can't, it's very good."

As she said these words, Mei Hualan seemed to be unable to hold back her eyelashes and blinked, brushing her eyelids softly again.

"..." Zhuang Qingliu stretched out a finger to push her head away, and squeezed out of the gap first with difficulty. Suddenly, it was a mountain forest here, and there was a pool of water not far away. , the cold air rising up in the moonlight.

This should be a cold pond, so this place should be the back mountain of Pei's Immortal Mansion, where the disciples in the mansion practice sword and practice on weekdays.And what stuck them was a crack in a cliff.

After Zhuang Qingliu carefully looked around, he turned his head and said to Mei Hualan, "Still coming out? Where are you thinking about?"

Mei Hualan: "She didn't hold my hand just now, so she disappeared."

Zhuang Qingliu shook the twigs of the shrub, and suddenly scratched her face: "What are you talking about, she is usually silent, dare to hold your hand?"

Before Meihualan came out of the gap, he put Zhuang Qingliu's wrists together with both hands, and smiled: "Siji is on the boat, and he will come here at dawn."

Zhuang Qingliu: "..."

This is a tool man, a tool man is a real hammer.

Seeing that she made every move slowly, Zhuang Qingliu simply grabbed her with her backhand and asked, "Do you usually treat juniors like this? After bullying them, will you coax them afterwards?"

After she finished speaking, she said to herself: "You, can you coax children? Probably not."

Mei Hualan looked down at her: "Well, I can't, you can coax me for me."

"Then you have to come out first?"

Zhuang Qingliu used her skill to pull, and Mei Hualan was pulled out from the crack of the stone by her, but the expression on her face seemed to flicker.

"What's the matter?" Zhuang Qingliu subconsciously touched her back with both hands, and even felt a little wet and sticky.

She raised her eyes instantly, and heard Mei Hualan lower her head and say: "There are a few formations that I haven't avoided, you can coax... just take a look for me first?"
