Xie Zhanning, "It was originally to take him back, but something changed when we arrived in Yizhou."

Gu Lichen asked: "Is this variable the drought in Yizhou?"

Shi Yu nodded and said: "The disaster in Yizhou is extraordinary, I'm afraid it has something to do with the traitors of my Sirius clan."

"A traitor from the Sirius clan." Xie Zhanning murmured and repeated.

"..." It seems that Shi Ming really wanted to take Xie Zhanning away, Shi Yu saw Gu Lichen frowned deeply and lowered his head in thought, and asked, "Does Master Lichen mind if I have a private chat with my little nephew?"

Shi Yu didn't have any malicious intentions, and he didn't have the momentum to act, Gu Lichen replied: "Miss Shi Yu made a joke, of course I don't mind."

Gu Lichen was about to get up and leave, when Xie Zhanning grabbed Gu Lichen's sleeve, his eyes were extremely wronged, "Master, don't go."

Gu Lichen stretched out his hand and rubbed the broken hair on the top of Xie Zhanning's head, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Master will stay by your side if you don't leave."

Gu Lichen found a place where he could see Xie Zhanning without disturbing the conversation between his aunt and nephew. Shi Yu looked at Xie Zhanning and said with a smile, "Little brat, are you so afraid of your aunt and me?"

Seeing Shi Yu approaching, Xie Zhanning quickly moved away, "I don't know you, you are not my aunt."

Shi Yu's face suddenly changed, and he became serious, "... Ning'er, are you blaming aunt?"

Ning'er?It's been a long time since anyone called him that, Xie Zhanning felt extremely bored, and said impatiently, "What's your fault?"

Shi Yu said: "It's strange that Auntie didn't save your parents back then."

"..." Xie Zhanning didn't know how to reply for a while, blame her?What is she to blame?It was only today that he knew for the first time that he had a so-called aunt.

Seeing that Xie Zhanning was silent, Shi Yu continued: "Auntie, why doesn't she want to help your father, but Auntie was imprisoned by your grandfather back then, and she was also powerless. If Hua Lianjin hadn't told me about your father later, Auntie would not have known about your father. And your existence."

"Uncle Hua..." Although Xie Zhanning had never seen Hua Lianjin, he often heard Xie Tingyun mention this name when he was young, and every time he mentioned him, Xie Tingyun always looked ashamed.

Shi Yu raised her eyebrows and questioned: "You call him Uncle Hua, but you don't believe that I'm your aunt?"

"..." Xie Zhanning shook his head and nodded again. In fact, how could he not be happy that he still has a relative in this huge world.

Seeing Xie Zhanning shaking his head and nodding again, Shi Yu stomped his feet and immediately transformed his furry ears and tail, "Now, do you believe it now?"

Taking a closer look, Shi Yu's ears and tail are very similar to Xie Zhanning's, even if it is a mother and child, it is not an exaggeration, especially the bright red wolf's tail flower on the forehead, which is exactly the same as Xie Tingyun. His tail was about to tear through his dress, and he waved his hands anxiously, "You, put it away quickly, I believe it, can't I believe it!"

Shi Yu snorted coldly, retracted his ears and tail as if he had succeeded, and even the pennisetum totem on his forehead disappeared, "Pfft, what are you afraid of, there's no one else around."

Xie Zhanning glanced at Shi Yu, saw that her clothes were disheveled, and muttered, "You are really shameless."

Shi Yu laughed and said, "What's there to be shy about?"

"..." Seeing Xie Zhanning bowed his head and said nothing, Shi Yu said again: "Ning'er, are you willing to go back to the Demon Palace with Auntie?"

Xie Zhanning asked: "The Demon Palace?" The reason why it is called the Demon Palace must be the place where people in the Demon Realm live. Now that he is practicing with Gu Lichen, he definitely does not want to set foot in the Demon Realm.

Shi Yu nodded, and said: "Yes, Demon Palace, I will intercede with the Sirius Lord on your behalf, and let him allow you to return to the Sirius Clan."

"Please? Why ask for mercy?! What mistake did I make?!! What mistake did my father make again?!!!" Rather than hating Shiyu, he hated his so-called grandfather even more. Lord Sirius, how could he completely ignore the life and death of their family of three.

Shi Yu frowned slightly, and said earnestly: "...But the Demon Palace is your home after all."

"Hmph." Xie Zhanning snorted coldly, "Home? That's not my home! It wasn't in the past, and it will never be in the future!" The previous home was where his parents were, and the future home will be where Gu Lichen is.

"Why is it taking so long..." Gu Lichen stood in the distance, unable to hear what the two of them were saying, so he could only be on guard against Shi Yu at all times, in case she made any sudden movements.

Shi Yu let out a long breath, and said helplessly, "Okay, since you don't want to go back, Auntie won't force you, take this and contact Auntie anytime you need something."

"..." is a wolf tooth necklace.

Xie Zhanning took the wolf tooth necklace, Shi Yu gave Xie Zhanning a reluctant look, then got up and walked out of the building.

"Miss Shi Yu is leaving?" Shi Yu glanced sideways at Gu Lichen, parted her red lips, and said word by word: "I will entrust Ning'er to you for the time being, you must take good care of him , I hope that we will never have a day when we will meet with swords, and Ning'er will be caught in the middle."

"..." Gu Lichen didn't know what Shi Yu's words meant, and before he could figure it out, Shi Yu disappeared, and these are all things for later.

Xie Zhanning came over and asked, "What did she tell you?"

Gu Lichen shook his head and said, "She asked me to take good care of you."

"Gu, Gu..." Xie Zhanning looked at the direction where Shi Yu disappeared, with mixed emotions in his heart.

Gu Lichen saw that Xie Zhanning's eyes were dancing with light, and couldn't help asking: "Zhanning, do you want to go back to the Demon Palace?"

Xie Zhanning turned around and looked at Gu Lichen with wide eyes, "No! I'm not going anywhere! I just want to be with Master forever!"

Gu Lichen lowered his head, although he was full of thoughts in his heart, there was a hint of a smile on his face, Xie Zhanning saw Gu Lichen lowered his head, thought he was unhappy, and asked again: "Master, what if I am really a devil?" Those who come out of the palace, will the brothers of the Qianyan sect accept me?"

Gu Lichen raised his head and looked at Xie Zhanning suspiciously, "Did I ever tell you that Master Shi Shuliu is an immortal made of stone?"

"No." Xie Zhanning really didn't know much about Master Shi Shuliu.

Gu Lichen was taken aback, it turned out that he never said, "Really? Then you know now."

"Yes." Xie Zhanning nodded, and Gu Lichen said again: "Master will tell you one more thing you don't know."

Xie Zhanning asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"Actually, Master is not human." Gu Lichen said it calmly.

"Master isn't human either?" Xie Zhanning had always felt that Gu Lichen was not like a mortal, so he was not surprised. Whether it was a demon or a demon, Gu Lichen would always be his fairy brother.

Gu Lichen smiled very gently, "Master's real body is a twelve-petaled green lotus."

Xie Zhanning repeated in a murmur: "Twelve-petalled green lotus..." Out of the mud but not stained, in the clear ripples but not demonic, the True Monarch Lichen, out of the world, isn't he just like a green lotus?

Gu Lichen said again: "The founder of the Qianyan sect is based on the idea that there is no distinction between teaching and learning. So, is it that important where you came from?"

Xie Zhanning nodded and said, "Yes, it doesn't matter, Master, I understand."

Gu Lichen gently stroked Xie Zhanning's forehead hair, and said with a smile: "Go to bed early if you understand, you'll be busy tomorrow."

Xie Zhanning nodded and said, "Yes."

This night was destined to be an unforgettable night. During this night, Xie Zhanning knew his origin, knew that he had a relative, and even knew the identity of his master.

"Twelve-petalled green lotus, green lotus, lotus..." Xie Zhanning couldn't tell what was strange, lying on the bed, he couldn't help thinking of the appearance of a green lotus, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

That night, Xie Zhanning had a dream. In the dream was a chaotic and boundless darkness, as cold and biting as the realm of the Nine Nether Mysteries, and in that chaotic, cold and mysterious realm, there was a small twelve-petal green The lotus is in full bloom, and there is a green light shining all over it, making the whole darkness even more treacherous. Although the green light is treacherous, it is extremely eye-catching, making people unable to take their eyes off it.

Early the next morning, Gu Lichen woke Xie Zhanning up, "Zhanning, did you sleep well?"

"Well, very good." In fact, Xie Zhanning had a strange dream all night and didn't sleep much at all.

Gu Lichen looked at Xie Zhanning's dark eyes, and said with a smile: "The circles under your eyes are so dark, you can still sleep well?"

"...Master, what are we going to do today?" Xie Zhanning rubbed his tired eyes.

Gu Lichen sighed, shook his head again, and said, "Go to the Yizhou Reservoir."

64. Sapphire Tripod

"It's been seven days and seven nights, why isn't Master waking up?"

The Yizhou Reservoir was originally the largest reservoir in the Central Plains. It is reasonable to say that even in the unfortunate year of a disaster, there should be some reserves in the reservoir, but now the Yizhou Reservoir can't see any water storage at all, like a sinkhole It is average in the boundary of Yizhou.

Gu Lichen frowned and said, "Sure enough."

"Why is there not even a little water in the reservoir?!" Xie Zhanning also found it inconceivable, the situation in front of him was as if someone had drained the water in the reservoir.

At the bottom of the dry reservoir, there was a dark mass that was churning faintly, "That's..." Gu Lichen saw the strange black mass, and Xie Zhanning coughed up a big mouthful of blood, "Cough!"

Gu Lichen's face darkened, he grabbed Xie Zhanning's shoulders, and said eagerly: "Zhanning, what's wrong with you?!"

Xie Zhanning had bloodstains on the corner of his mouth, his expression was weak, "I don't know, it's just that I suddenly feel very uncomfortable..."

"..." Gu Lichen immediately picked up Xie Zhanning's pulse. The pulse was normal and his body was the same.
