The three of them came to the inn where Huamanlou had a rest. Huamanlou returned to his room to rest without saying a few words. He was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.

Yubi had also entered the room, but he didn't go to bed. Instead, he fed the kingfisher some melon seeds, smoothed its feathers, and after being grateful, he lay down on the comfortable bed.

In the early morning of the next day, the sun had just hit the daffodils on the window sill when Ye Gucheng got up, fully dressed, and went downstairs to have breakfast.The second one to come down was Yubi, and the last one was Huamanlou.

The three of them sat around the table, ate breakfast silently, and called Xiaoer to serve fragrant tea and two plates of melon seeds. Yubi said while feeding the birds: "I have been going south since I left Huafu. The rumors of the Embroidery Thief made me alert. Later, I heard two passers-by in the teahouse say that Hua Yifan, the owner of Huayuxuan, had just been attacked by the Embroidery Thief. In a wasteland."

Hua Manlou had regained his energy at this time, with a faint smile on his face as always, he took a small sip of tea, as if he had been immersed in the fragrant tea fragrance.

Seeing that he looked good, Yubi continued unhurriedly: "The person you saw last night was Amu. According to him, an old woman wearing red shoes brought me here and hired him to guard me. But I I know that the one wearing the red shoes is not an old woman. It’s the man who embroidered the embroidery—the Embroidery Thief! He disguised himself as Grandma Xiong in order to put blame on the Red Shoes Organization, you didn’t fall for it, did you?”

Hua Manlou shook his head and said, "I still don't know what step Lu Xiaofeng has found. Since you already know so much, have you seen the real face of that embroidered thief?"

Yubi smiled and said, "Although I haven't seen him, I know who he is."

"who is it?"

"Jin Jiuling!"

Hua Manlou was stunned for a moment, put down the teacup, and couldn't help saying: "You can't accuse the innocent if you say nothing."

But Yu Bi was also stunned by this sentence, he opened his mouth for a while, and then said: "I have no evidence, but I can be sure that it is him! Don't you remember that I pointed out the iron shoe thief, why don't you believe me now? "

Hua Manlou sighed: "It's not that I don't believe you. Jin Jiuling is the chief arrester of the Six Doors. If you say he is an embroidery thief, you have to prove it. Otherwise, how can you bear the crime of slandering the Gongmen?"

Yu Bi stopped talking, and sat there frowning, forgetting to feed the kingfisher and eat melon seeds.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy for a while, the summer wind came in from the window, and the heat brought by it made Huamanlou feel uneasy.He thought of Yubi who had no internal energy at this time and was rescued just now, and he must have lingering fears, he really shouldn't refute Yubi like this.So he touched the edge of the table, went to hold Yu Bi's hand, squeezed his slender wrist, and said softly: "I naturally trust your intuition, Lu Xiaofeng will also go to search for evidence, and the truth will soon come to light, so you don't have to worry about it. It's your internal energy, it's not good for your health to keep it sealed, do you have an antidote?"

Yubi's wrist was held by Hua Manlou, and the warmth of that palm was as tolerant as Hua Manlou's. He couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and whispered: "My medicine bottles have been thrown away."

Hua Manlou was still worried, but Ye Gucheng had already put a bottle of medicine in front of Yubi's table, and Yubi thanked him in a low voice.After a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Not good!"

"how?"

"Xue Bing!" Yu Bi stood up abruptly, clapped both hands on the table, said anxiously: "We have to find Lu Xiaofeng quickly!" After saying that, he rushed out of the inn, not knowing where to find someone.It was Hua Manlou who led the way, together with Ye Gucheng, they found Lu Xiaofeng.

When they found Lu Xiaofeng, he was coming out from the Snake King, his face was blurred by the dim light in the alley, but it was by no means the usual high-spirited appearance.Seeing his sad face, Yubi rushed forward and asked, "Did something happen to you here?"

When Lu Xiaofeng saw Yubi, he was stunned first, then surprised, and said: "The Snake King is dead, and Xue Bing is gone too."

"Oh! You are really...really..." Yubi turned around anxiously, pacing up and down in the shadow of the wall, and finally said to Lu Xiaofeng: "Whether you believe it or not, Jin Jiuling is an embroidery thief, don't ask me how I know, Just follow this direction to prove it, you will definitely not be wrong!"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly and spread his hands, "How can I prove it?"

Yu Bi immediately said: "You are Lu Xiaofeng, of course you have a plan!"

Lu Xiaofeng became more and more helpless and worried.He sighed: "I see, then I will trouble you to find Xue Bing for me."

"No problem, you go, go!" Yu Bi drove Lu Xiaofeng away, and started to wander around in the shadows again.

Hua ManLou said quietly: "Lu XiaoFeng didn't ask why."

Ye Gucheng also said quietly: "He has begun to doubt Jin Jiuling."

Hua Manlou sighed, and could only ask, "How can we find Xue Bing?"

Ye Gucheng looked at Yubi, Yubi looked at Huamanlou, Huamanlou had no way to look at anyone, but he obviously didn't know how to find a hidden girl in Wuyang City.

The weather in Linxia gradually became sweltering. Although standing in the shaded alley, the three of them were still burdened with boredom. The kingfisher perched on the wall of the courtyard, combing its emerald feathers leisurely.

Yubi saw this spiritual bird at a glance, thinking that if he could find himself, maybe he could also find Xue Bing?

Ye Gucheng seemed to read the meaning in Yubi's eyes, so he said coolly, "Yaya has never seen Xue Bing before."

So it can't find Xue Bing?Yubi is very sorry.He said: "Then let's go directly to Jin Jiuling. If you follow him, you can always find Xue Bing." He waved to Kingfisher: "Xiaocui, let's go."

Ye Gucheng stood in the shadows, finally willing to move at this moment, his figure flickered, and said in a low voice: "It's not called Xiaocui."

Yubi had already walked out of the alley and walked to the mainland, she responded calmly, "Xiao Cui doesn't seem to have any objection to the name."

Ye Gucheng stopped talking.He also finally walked out of the alley, walking behind Yubi and Huamanlou.But no matter where he goes, no one will think he is a follower.Even though he didn't say a word after this sentence, he remained silent like a conscientious guard.

Yu Bi suddenly thought, Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng are both quiet people, their personalities and lifestyles are very similar in many aspects.Could it be that the two of them were actually twins in their previous life?

Yubi thought about it without looking at it, and kept secretly observing Ye Gucheng while tracking Jin Jiuling.Just against Ye Gucheng

Apart from embarrassment, he would unconsciously think of the sight that Ximen Chuuxue looked at him from time to time, the kind of hesitating to speak, he really experienced it until now.

Yubi suddenly remembered that when he left Peach Blossom Castle, he didn't say goodbye to Ximen Chuuxue, would Ximen Chuuxue think he was rude?

Ye Gucheng had stopped, and Huamanlou had also stopped. They were standing in front of a thatched hut. The smell of blood wafting from the house made Yubi unable to go to Ye Gucheng to explain his doubts.

Ye Gucheng walked in first, Yubi followed closely behind, and Hua Manlou walked in the last.They had already foreseen the situation in the house, but when they saw it with their own eyes, even Yu Bi, who was used to seeing life and death, couldn't help feeling sad.

Such a beautiful girl was lying in a pool of blood, her beautiful face was still painted with elegant makeup, as if she couldn't tell that she was dead.But the cold body can't be warmed up no matter what.
