The cold wind was silent, and the chill spread from the skin to the bottom of the heart.

Shan Mingxiu kept tightening his fingers holding the golden face, and said in a difficult voice, "I owe you."

Yin Lizhou yawned lazily, obviously not wanting to hear, "Since you think so, why don't you let me go, don't want to see each other again, and then you won't owe anyone anything."

Shan Mingxiu looked at him and said, "Except for this, I can answer you."

Hearing this, Yin Lizhou chuckled lightly, with sarcasm in his voice, "Do you think there is anything I want from you other than this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw something dimmed in Shan Mingxiu's eyes.

Yin Lizhou turned his head and yawned again, "Sleepy, let's go back first."

Without waiting for his answer, he turned around and walked down the tower.

When Yin Lizhou returned to Tianyue Tower, it was already midnight, and except for the monks who were watching the night, everyone else had already fallen asleep, and everything was quiet.

Yin Lizhou felt extremely exhausted, so he lay down after washing hastily.

However, I tossed and turned for a long time, but I never felt sleepy.

He understood what Shan Mingxiu meant.

But so what?

Shan Mingxiu saved his life, and he paid it back.As for the causal relationship, he was too lazy to pursue it.

But that doesn't mean he can just let go of his grudges and act as if nothing happened.

Why should we be forgiven if we have difficulties?

Yin Lizhou thought, and raised his hand to touch the side of his neck.

Because there was no unbearable pain, he almost forgot that there was still a yoke here.

It should hurt, so that he will not forget the past.

Thinking of this, Yin Lizhou closed his eyes to hide the coldness in them.

Day two.

When Yin Lizhou woke up, it was already daylight.

After he washed up and went downstairs, Ling Shu and the others were already eating.

Shan Mingxiu was also there, with an empty seat beside him.Hearing a voice on the stairs, he looked up at him.

Yin Lizhou saw the blue eyes in his eyes at a glance, and guessed that he must have stayed up all night.

But he didn't say anything, and quickly looked away, and sat directly beside Ling Shu.

Due to the lingering hangover from yesterday, Ling Shu rarely spoke, and silently drank the hangover tea in his hand.

Yin Lizhou never had to be waited on by others, so he got up very consciously, and brought over the untouched osmanthus cake and lotus seed porridge in front of Shan Mingxiu.

Yin Lizhou always had no appetite in the morning, but because these were his favorite foods, he reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls.

Before he finished eating, Ling Shu who was beside him had already recovered, put down the tea in his hand, raised his head and asked Shan Mingxiu who was opposite him, "Is there anyone suspicious last night?"

Shan Mingxiu shook his head, "Have a safe night."

Hearing this, Ling Shu didn't have any joy on his face, instead he frowned slightly and raised his hand to rub his temples.

"The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light. It is really difficult."

Yin Lizhou put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand when he heard the words, and said, "That man did it neatly. We don't even have any clues. We are indeed passive."

"It's not that there are no clues at all."

As Ling Shu said, he took out a blue jade pendant from his bosom and put it on the table.

Shan Mingxiu: "This is?"

Ling Shu turned to look at Yin Lizhou, and said, "Do you still remember the thief I was going to catch that night?"

Yin Lizhou looked at him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Unforgettable forever."

Ling Shu was awkwardly silent for a moment, looked away, and continued: "That night he sneaked into Tianyue Tower, and I found out that this jade pendant was torn from him when I fought him."

"Who is that thief? Is it related to the people who washed the government?" Yin Lizhou asked.

Shan Mingxiu shook his head, "It's not sure yet, but maybe it's a group of people. After all, we can't be sure that the bloodbathed mansion is just one person."

"That's right." Yin Lizhou said, his eyes also fell on the jade pendant, "What clues are there?"

Ling Shu raised his hand, turned the jade pendant over, and raised his finger to the middle.

"There is a Qin engraved here."

Because of the word Qin, Ling Shu decided to investigate all the families with the Qin surname in Huanyue City.

And vowed: "If you see that figure again, you will be able to recognize it at a glance."

Although Yin Lizhou thought it was unreliable, at least it was better than Gan sitting and waiting for someone to show up by himself, so he agreed.

Turning to look at Shan Mingxiu, he also got up and planned to go out with him.

Naturally, Ling Shu had no objection, and asked someone to distribute the residence roster of Huanyue City to everyone, and set off.

Huanyue City is directly connected to the north and south, with a dense population and many people with the surname Qin.

They walked for a day and didn't even complete a third of the investigation.

Ling Shu was not discouraged, it was rare that he no longer feared suffering, and went out with them every day.

It was like this for the next few days, investigating during the day and defending at night.

But that backfired.

Since then, no one has died in Huanyue City, and after investigating all the families with the surname Qin, the owner of the jade pendant has not been found.

"It's really evil!" After returning in vain again, Ling Shu was so annoyed that he took the jade pendant out of his arms and threw it on the table.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Yin Lizhou caught the jade pendant and handed it to Bu Chang who was at the side.

"It's a piece of jade after all, it can't withstand you falling like this."

Ling Shu snorted lightly, and his tone was full of disdain, "As far as its appearance is concerned, calling it a piece of jade is just flattering it, and I would be ashamed to give it to the servants, and the person wearing it must not be someone on the stage. thing."

Unchanging on the side stretched out his hand to take the jade, with a calm expression on his face, he echoed: "Young master is right."

Yin Lizhou shook his head helplessly, and poured himself a cup of tea, "Why are you so angry with a piece of jade? Don't worry."

When Ling Shu heard this, he said coldly, "It won't hurt your back to stand and talk, it's not you who lost the title of Patriarch, and it's not you who will succeed you soon, so you're naturally not in a hurry."

Yin Lizhou knew his dog temper, so he was not angry, drank a cup of tea by himself, and said lazily: "Okay, then you can continue to worry."

"you……"

"Master." Buyu who had been standing behind him suddenly spoke, interrupting his words.

Ling Shu glared at Yin Lizhou, then turned around and asked him, "What's the matter?"

Unyielding looked at him, his eyes were calm, as usual, he could not see any emotion, "Seven days later, the ceremony of entrustment will be held, and there is no further delay."

When Ling Shu heard the words, he became hoarse for an instant, and sat down slowly while leaning on the table.

After a long time, he replied in a muffled voice: "Okay, then go back first."

The conferment ceremony of Bi'an Pavilion was very grand, invitations were distributed widely, and the heads of the eight sects were all invited to come.

Shan Mingxiu was naturally among them, so he simply went to Jinghuai with them.

Yin Lizhou had no opinion, and even looked forward to it.

Because Ling Shu never treats himself harshly, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation are all first-class, and traveling with him is considered a luxury.

Ling Shu had a lot of things, and it took a day to sort them out, so it was already the second day of departure.

Then they saw the carriage coming to pick them up.

Yin Lizhou had heard about it a long time ago. Although Ling Shu was a monk, but because he couldn't stand the wind and the sun, he never used a sword and traveled only by chariot and horse.

And his carriage is also unique in the world of comprehension.

The body of the sedan chair is made of ebony and decorated with gold and silver. There are 32 people carrying the sedan chair outside. There are not only bedrooms, study rooms, and even a palace room inside.

The ground is covered with fox fur, and people sitting in it feel like walking on flat ground.

Although I had heard about it long ago, I realized that a carriage can be so luxurious after seeing it with my own eyes.

Thinking of how poor he was even when he was a Demon Lord, Yin Lizhou felt a little blocked.

"What's the matter? Are you scared because you haven't seen the world?" Ling Shu laughed at Yin Lizhou, who couldn't recover for a long time.

"No." Yin Lizhou got into the carriage with him and said, "I just suddenly felt that your proposal of letting me stay by your side as a servant was quite good. Is it too late for me to agree?"

Ling Shu was amused by him, chuckled lightly, and replied, "It's late."

"Hey." Yin Lizhou made a look of regret.

Then I heard Ling Shu suddenly draw out the tone, "But..."

"what?"

"If you make me happy these few days, let alone a follower, it's okay to give you the position of elder."

Yin Lizhou knew that he was joking, but he cheerfully agreed, "Governor Ling is generous."

"That's natural."

Just laughing and laughing all the way, the time passed quickly, and they arrived in Jinghuai soon.

But the closer he got to Bi An Pavilion, the more silent Ling Shu became.

Yin Lizhou knew that he was nervous, but he couldn't think of any better way, so he could only try to talk to him about some light topics.

But no matter how difficult it is to face, Biange is still here.

When getting off the sedan chair, Ling Shu got up expressionlessly and walked away, but Yin Lizhou followed behind hesitantly.

In the end, I couldn't hold back and asked him, "Your patriarch's seal?"

Ling Shu knew what he was going to say, so he interrupted him directly, "If you can't take it out, you can't take it out. Anyway, I'm the only one in the Ling family now, can they really not let me succeed?"

Yin Lizhou still had a little worry in his heart, but hearing what he said, it seemed that he was right, so he could only put his heart down for the time being.

The entrusting ceremony is approaching, although Unswerving has already helped him take care of most things, but as the pavilion master, there are some things that cannot be avoided that he will be there in person.

So as soon as they were settled, Ling Shu left in a hurry.

For the next few days, they didn't see each other again.

Time passed by, and the ceremony of receiving the title inevitably came.

The ceremony is early in the morning.

Yin Lizhou had just put on the dress that Yinshan sent urgently, and was about to go out when he heard a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door.

Then, a knock on the door came from the side.

Yin Lizhou was a little surprised, Shan Mingxiu lived next to him, who would knock on his door early in the morning?

Yin Lizhou pushed the door and went out, and then saw that someone had already gone in, only glimpsed a piece of red clothes.

Yin Lizhou stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the door and called, "Master."

Soon, Shan Mingxiu's voice came from inside, "Come in."

Yin Lizhou pushed the door open and walked in, seeing a red figure.

Taking a closer look, it was actually Ling Shu wearing a golden crown and wearing a dark red dress.

He stood beside Shan Mingxiu, holding something tightly in his arms, with a very complicated expression on his face, I don't know whether it was surprise or joy.

"Why are you here, you shouldn't be here..."

Before he finished speaking, he finally saw clearly the contents of the ebony box he was holding tightly in his hand.

It is dark red, with a faint golden mark on the surface.
