It was already evening when Xi Baimian went out, and after a while, the sky was getting dark now.

What the man said, Xi Baimian took to heart, but did not show it. After making sure that he entered the servant's room and would not come out until tomorrow night, Xi Baimian immediately turned to look for Shen Lirong.

Shen Lirong came out of He Yuanshan's room and returned to her own room.

After the man in black that night, the Bu family naturally didn't let him live with Bu Suning, and gave him a guest room to sleep in.

Seeing this, Xi Baimian stepped up to follow, and blocked the door just as Shen Lirong was about to close it.

However, Shen Lirong didn't seem to want him to go in very much. Although the force of closing the door was a little weaker, he still stubbornly wanted to close it.

"What's the matter? You won't let me in, my husband?" Xi Baimian stretched his palm in, and touched Shen Lirong's wrist, "Why are you so angry? Didn't you just treat me well, huh?"

Xi Baimian laughed and teased Shen Lirong, when his warm hand touched his wrist, he shrank back from the heat, and as if avoiding it, he let go of the door and walked inside.

The candle was on, Xi Baimian faced into the room, and closed the door behind his back: "Go to Senior Brother He's side and ignore me?"

He just said it casually and was about to change the subject, but Shen Lirong took it seriously.

Shen Lirong sat down a little angrily, with her back turned to him, and she felt very angry from the back view.

"It seems you know what you've done."

"What did I do?" Xi Baimian was puzzled, and sat next to Shen Lirong to look at him.

Shen Lirong had a big temper, and turned his face away: "Do you remember what happened to Chi Huangdan?"

Chi Huang Dan.

For Xi Baimian, this incident can be regarded as a relatively ancient memory, and he paused: "What's wrong with Chi Huangdan, do you have Chi Huangdan's whereabouts?"

"Why are you talking nonsense with me? How could I know where Chi Huangdan is?" Shen Lirong knocked on the table and said plausibly, "I'm talking about you standing in line, big brother!"

"Brother standing in line, what's wrong?" Xi Baimian pinched his sleeves, there were still some wet marks on them, and his tone softened, "Or do you think I should stand by your senior brother He?"

"Shouldn't you not stand in line? If there is no evidence, the first thing to do is to find evidence. If you stand in line randomly, it is easy to cause accidental injury!"

"No." Xi Baimian said with certainty.

Shen Lirong looked at him suspiciously, and asked in a tone of obvious distrust: "So sure, have you found the evidence?"

The words on the lips were blocked, Xi Baimian's eyes moved to other places, and finally said something against his will: "No."

"Then you still..." Shen Lirong felt a little headache, and even started to feel a little confused.

Is it possible that, as Ji Zhongzhou said, his wife still likes the elder brother, but because of their identities, she treats him differently on weekdays, isn't it because of other reasons?

Once doubt arises, the cracks will not stop spreading.

Just like the feeling when he was looking for Yi Binghua in Yi Bingtian that day, he seemed to feel that he was standing on a very thin layer of ice, and he had to be careful about what he said, so as not to accidentally break some balance.

Obviously he didn't care about these things before, but when the words came out of his mouth, when he wanted to ask Xi Baimian if he really thought as Ji Zhongzhou said, he changed the question again.

Because it doesn't matter whether you ask or not, the mouth can lie, but it's just a matter of touching two pieces of meat, if it's really like what Ji Zhongzhou said, then Xi Baimian will never admit it.

When a question is asked, and the answer is the same no matter whether the other party really thinks so or pretends to think so, there is no need for this question to exist.

"Did you know that once you stand in line, you have already decided which way the public opinion will fall?"

But for this question, Shen Lirong had a hint of luck.

He chatted for a while in He Yuanshan's room, and also learned about the pros and cons from the other party, as well as the reason for the breakup between the two.

During the chat, He Yuanshan's wounded and self-deprecating expression hit Shen Lirong, but his first reaction was not to comfort He Yuanshan, but to say something that could make He Yuanshan feel relieved a little, such as "I believe in Elder An" if.

This kind of words is actually the same as Xi Baimian's standing in line, with absolute subjectivity, but the purpose is only to comfort He Yuanshan, but he still didn't say it.

Shen Lirong thought, anyway, the matter of standing in line has already happened, so it would be superfluous to worry about why standing in line. He just wants to get a comforting answer. Maybe Xi Baimian doesn't know how much influence he has?Zongmen's favoritism is often hidden in silence.

Maybe his wife, who is such a dumb person, didn't feel his influence in the sect.

"know."

In a word, Shen Lirong's fantasy was shattered.

Shen Lirong's back was stiff, and he pursed his mouth a little aggrieved.

"I know." Shen Lirong was in a complicated mood, as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt the saliva in his mouth was sticky, "I know..."

I feel that his wife is so strange.Obviously, if he doesn't stand in line, it won't cause such a big conflict between the two protagonists, but he still...

Having heard the strong sense of loss in Shen Lirong's words, Xi Baimian opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time before asking: "Do you feel worthless for He Yuanshan?"

"En." Shen Lirong made a voice that seemed to be affirmative.

In fact, he is already in a state of fugue now, this um is just a meaningless note, just to dismiss Xi Baimian.

"I'm tired, let's rest first."

A huge sense of burnout hit Shen Lirong, making him physically and mentally exhausted, and he just wanted to lie on the bed and have a good sleep.

Xi Baimian was silent for a while, and then said: "Then you rest, if you encounter anything, you must tell me as soon as possible."

Xi Baimian was about to leave the room, go out to relax, and when he waved away the inexplicable sense of depression, he suddenly remembered the purpose of his coming, turned around, and said to Shen Lirong who had already touched the bed: "Husband, we..."

"Just call me Shen Lirong." Shen Lirong interrupted him suddenly.

Xi Baimian was quiet for a while, and then continued: "Let's make a secret sign. When I tell you Yi Binghua, you just answer my hot spring."

Shen Lirong lay on his side, facing inward, and did not reply.

Xi Baimian was afraid that he didn't hear clearly, so he went forward and continued to say it again.

Shen Lirong buried her head in the quilt, and after rustling for a while, she heard a weak hum from under the quilt.

In fact, I didn't listen to it at all.

The way of getting along between the two seemed to be reversed suddenly, the one who talked a lot became Xi Baimian, and the one who yelled out one after another became Shen Lirong.

Xi Baimian knew that he was angry with him because of He Yuanshan's affairs, so he calmed down, pretended not to care about his throbbing heart, and took the door out.

The candle was still burning, and the twisted candle tears ran across the red candle body like real tears, fell on the plate, and turned into candle flowers.

The room became eerily quiet, save for the faint crackling of candles continuing to glow.

……

When everyone arrived, the Patriarch of the Bu family finally agreed to meet the disciples of the Qingchuan Sect.

It's just that this guest came too late, and the disciples of Qingchuan Sect were a little listless.

The Patriarch of the Bu family still held his proud head up, looking at them almost with contempt: "I believe that you have all heard about the man in black sneaking into my mansion a few days ago, the reason why I have been so late to talk to all the immortals The long-faced guest mainly wants to see if the fairy elders are capable."

"The result is quite satisfactory." The head of the family seemed to be commenting on the examinee's tone, condescendingly, "At that time, the situation was unexpected, and only these four elders were allowed to enter my house. I wanted to come to inspect the elders the next day, but unexpectedly the man in black Make the first move, ahead of time."

As he said that, Patriarch Bu laughed a little: "Fortunately, Xi Xian is here, and he really lived up to Qingchuanzong's reputation. He chased him out for several days, but he doesn't know the result of the investigation?"

Master Bu respectfully called them Immortal Heads on the surface, but secretly, he treated them as assassins hired for free. His words made people very uncomfortable, and several disciples couldn't help but frown.

But Xi Baimian's expression was indeed flat, and he replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Although I chased him out for three days, there are no actual clues..."

Patriarch Bu's eyes flashed, with disdain, a touch of disdain, and as if he had expected that Xi Baimian would return in vain, he picked up the tea next to him, and after taking a sip, he shook his head and said that Xi Baimian could not do it.

Xi Baimian obviously didn't give him this chance.

"However, I learned one thing, that is, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"What's the matter?"

"I met a man who called himself Nan Le." Xi Baimian said while watching Patriarch Bu's reaction, "He said..."

Before he finished speaking, Patriarch Bu smashed the tea cup into pieces.

"Who are you talking about?" Patriarch Bu looked at him in shock.

Obviously, Patriarch Bu knew who Nan Le was, but he couldn't believe that he would meet Nan Le.

Perhaps it was too much of a gaffe, which made other Qingchuan sect disciples feel strange, Patriarch Bu hurriedly cleaned the tea-stained clothes, and managed to stabilize his expression.

"By the way, there is a reason for all the elders to come to my Bu family, right? It's all easy to say, easy to say... You go out first." Patriarch Bu seemed to have something on his mind, but when he said this, the disciples stopped staying and one after another Get up and say goodbye.

Before leaving, You Jili said: "The matter of Nantian Jade, I will leave it to Patriarch Bu."

Patriarch Bu hoped that they would leave quickly and asked Xi Baimian to stay and explain to him what was going on, so he waved his hand casually: "Okay, okay, you guys go out first, it's fine for Xi Xianchang to stay."

You Jili glanced at Xi Baimian who didn't look back, then at Shen Lirong who had already walked to the door, and nodded.

After leaving the door, You Jili grabbed Shen Lirong: "Li Rong, don't leave yet, do you know what happened to Nan Le?"

Shen Lrong shook his head: "Why would you tell me about him? Elder brother, just ask around later, he will tell you."

After finishing speaking, Shen Lirong broke free from You Jili's grasping hand, and walked away with her head buried.

……

The young couple had a conflict again.

You Jili thought helplessly, turned his head and took a deep look at the closed door, and then went back to his room.

Because of what he learned yesterday, Shen Lirong didn't want to go back to the room, maybe when Xi Baimian came back, he would have to close his mouth and lie down on the bed to sleep.

That too was boring and boring.

After quarreling with Xi Baimian, I feel bored wherever and what I do.

Shen Lirong planned to go to He Yuanshan's room to chat for a while, but was cut off on the way.

"Hey, Shen Lirong!"

Passing by half a wall of flowers, Shen Lirong was called to a stop, and when he looked back, he found that it was Ji Zhongzhou who came running over.

Shen Lirong lowered his head, kicked the gravel beside his feet, and said sullenly, "What are you doing?"

"What else can I do, let's play with you." Ji Zhongzhou said with a smile, "This Bu family is boring, and the task is so easy to complete, we should go back soon."

"Oh."

"It's really boring this mission. When I thought that Patriarch Bu was a difficult person, but your wife finished the mission with just one word. It's really good." Ji Zhongzhou smiled.

"Ah."

Visibly unhappy.

Ji Zhongzhou is not a fool, Shen Lirong's sullen expression is so obvious, he naturally bent down and asked the sullen young man: "What's the matter with you? Seeing that your dark clouded face lasted for quite a long time, what happened?" It’s a happy thing, I’m happy to tell my brother.”

Shen Lirong raised her head and glared at him: "You!"

"Okay, there's nothing to be unhappy about. Life is always unsatisfactory. You can't let unsatisfactory take over your life."

"Chicken soup is your thing." Shen Lirong muttered softly.

"What chicken soup? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?" Ji Zhongzhou didn't know what chicken soup he was talking about, and three questions came out of his soul torture.

"It's nothing, I just think that if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be unhappy!" Seeing that Ji Zhongzhou knew he was in a bad mood, Shen Lirong had to come over to tease him, and deliberately dumped the blame on him.

"What does it have to do with me?" Ji Zhongzhou couldn't figure it out, but his mind turned quickly, he came to his senses and asked, "You can't be unhappy because of what I told you yesterday, right?"

"Otherwise? You said that he was eating what was in the bowl and looking at what was in the pot to me!" Shen Lirong subconsciously blurted out this sentence, and after she finished speaking, she covered her mouth in surprise.

"Oh, this is what you care about?" Ji Zhongzhou carelessly put his hands on the back of his head, crossed his legs unrulyly, and leaned against the flower wall, "Then you should be angry..."

Shen Lirong quickly explained: "No, I'm not obsessed with this..."

But this explanation is very small.

Only Ji Zhongzhou took it seriously.In his eyes, Shen Lirong is just a little fool, isn't it a basic thing to make a slip of the tongue occasionally?

"What I mean is, Xi Baimian shouldn't have sided with that matter so hastily."

"Ah, that's the only problem?" Ji Zhongzhou rubbed his chin, "What does it matter? Let's put aside the fact that he has a filter for the senior brother, and the fact that the senior brother has recommended him layer by layer is enough for him There is no reason to stand in line with the big brother."

"What recommendation?"

"You don't know? The reason why Xi Baimian's status in the sect is so high is that the senior brother recommended it to the head of the sect. Otherwise, he would have been taken in by other elders, and the status would not be so high. The senior brother can be regarded as Xi Baimian." Your benefactor." Ji Zhongzhou recalled.

Shen Lirong's eyes were abnormally excited: "You mean, senior brother once helped him, so senior senior brother is his benefactor?"

"correct."

"That's why you stand in line with senior brother unconditionally?"

"Yes, right?"

At this moment, Shen Lirong's logic was extremely clear: "That is to say, in fact, Xi Baimian didn't necessarily eat what's in the bowl and think about what's in the pot, but just to repay the kindness of the big brother, so he unconditionally stood in line with the big brother? "

"...Maybe?" Ji Zhongzhou was a little uncertain by his logic, forgetting why he thought Xi Baimian wanted to take both sides of this matter.

But when he saw that Shen Lirong's whole face became brighter because of this discovery, he felt that it was not a bad thing if he couldn't remember why, but it was a bad thing to think about it.

If it weren't for his words, Shen Lirong wouldn't be so sluggish today, and he is too, so why would he just gossip about the couple with a fever.

Ji Zhongzhou shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Anyway, don't be so unhappy, don't you look pretty when you smile now?"

After finishing speaking, he groaned and pulled away from the distance to look carefully at Shen Lirong who didn't know why he was so happy, and picked a flower and pinned it on Shen Lirong's head.

"Blue suits you quite well." Ji Zhongzhou commented like this, feeling very satisfied with his own aesthetics.

"Isn't that good?" Shen Lirong was a little anxious to find that the only blue flower on the flower wall was pinned on Shen's own hair.

"What's the matter, he gave us all the Nantian jade, just picking a flower." Ji Zhongzhou glanced at the sky, "I don't want to talk anymore, I have to go back to practice, see you later."

Shen Lirong, who had untied the knot in his heart, waved at him and walked towards his room.

Looking back now, yesterday's self was really on the edge of a dead end. Obviously Xi Baimian was always so kind to him, but because of Ji Zhongzhou's few words, he thought that Xi Baimian fell in love with the elder brother, and the desserts that Xi Baimian fed him before were not good. Is it like feeding a dog?

No, no, why call yourself a dog?

Opening the door, he found that Xi Baimian still hadn't come back, Shen Lirong sat there waiting for a while, and practiced for a while, then went out to the kitchen to get something to eat.

At noon today, he saw that Xi Baimian didn't eat much, and now that he chatted with Patriarch Bu for so long, he should be hungry.

Shen Lirong held the tray, declined the servant's request to bring the tray, and walked happily to the room.

It's just that when passing by the back mountain, I don't know if it's his illusion, the boy has been watching him, and when he looked over, the boy disappeared quickly.

Shen Lirong shook his head and continued serving pastries.

……

In fact, Xi Baimian didn't talk with Patriarch Bu for long, after all, he knew that Nan Le didn't have much information.

Nan Le was the man who poisoned him. Judging from his name, he should be the brother of the villain Nan Qing.

Xi Baimian didn't have much information about Nan Le, but he got a lot of words from Patriarch Bu instead.

Nan Le and Nan Qing are twins. The birth of twins is not easy. In addition, the premature birth made the brother Nan Le very poor. At that time, the Bu family had only one wife and no concubines. These two sons were precious, but at that time The situation of both of them is very bad, but there is no other way, they can only treat Nan Le by relying on crooked ways.

It was Nan Qing's body that was injured.

It's quite dramatic to say that Nan Le's body is a bit sick because of Nan Qing's blood medicine, but Nan Qing's not-so-healthy body has become almost like Nan Le's because of being a medicine man all the year round. Same weak.

The first Mrs. Bu died of dystocia, and naturally a second Mrs. Bu appeared in the Bu family. The twins, whose health has not recovered for a long time, were gradually ignored because the second Mrs. Bu became pregnant.

Later, because of a nanny's ineffective supervision, Nan Le was lost, and only Nan Qing was left in Bu's house. After a few years, he committed suicide by throwing himself into a well.

These were the words Xi Baimian tried hard to use on Patriarch Bu, but they were not of much use, as many questions had not been answered.

For example, why did Nanqin come back from the dead?Why did Nanle try her best to get in?What is the relationship between Nanle and Bu Suning?Why is it that Nan Le and Nan Qing are twins, but their relationship is not good?All of these have not been explained, and it can be said that it is lonely, but at least something can be deduced from it.

For example, the first Mrs. Bu and the head of the Bu family are very affectionate, while the second Mrs. Bu is the maid of the first Mrs. Bu.

The amount of information is very large, and one can roughly guess from it—maybe Nanqing committed suicide by throwing himself into a well in the past because of Mrs. Bu, so it can be guessed that Nanqin's purpose was revenge on Mrs. Bu or the Bu family.

Right now, Nanqin is still in the growth stage. As the biggest villain, if the growth stage is strangled in the cradle, then his mission is likely to be completed ahead of schedule. After all, the reason for his coming is the occurrence of such a variable as Nanqin.

Xi Baimian opened the door and went in while thinking, and found the witness in the room lying on the bed and reading a script.

Xi Baimian hesitated for a moment before entering the door, and planned to go for a walk first.

I don't know when their cold war will end. There is really nothing to see in the Bu family's garden.

Almost like a sigh, Xi Baimian turned around and was about to leave.

But the people behind him stopped him: "Lady! Are you back?"

Shen Lirong closed the scripture book, quickly put on his boots, pulled the person over and sat beside the table, as if to prevent the person from running away, and trotted to close the open door.

Shen Lirong chuckled, pointed at the plate of dim sum on the table, and said with some embarrassment: "Hurry up, eat it, I used the formula you taught me to heat it up, after waiting for you for a long time, it's a bit cold .”

Xi Baimian was a little stunned, not wanting to understand why Shen Lirong's attitude changed 180%.

Seeing Xi Baimian staying there, Shen Lirong pushed the plate in front of him as if urging him: "Eat it, it's delicious, I even tried it for you."

"Oh, oh..." Xi Baimian lowered his head slightly, took a piece and ate it, but his mind was not on the pastry at all, he looked at Shen Lirong, hesitated for a while, and said, "Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden? "

"I figured it out!" Shen Lirong said with a smile, "I figured it out, you must have your own reasons for doing things, right?"

Xi Baimian looked at him, swallowed the pastry in his mouth: "Maybe..."

Seeing Shen Lirong's rapidly rounding eyes, Xi Baimian immediately changed his words: "Yes, yes, I do things for a reason."

"So, you still remember what I told you before, if we get along well, right?" Shen Lirong blinked and looked at him and asked.

Being stared at directly, Xi Baimian forgot that he was still holding the pastry, and let his fingertips smash it in his hand.

"I remember."

"Okay!" Shen Lirong applauded, "Then I will always believe in you!"

Xi Baimian, who still didn't understand this development, couldn't help sitting up straight and facing Shen Lirong: "So why did you treat me like that yesterday?"

Shen Lirong's eyes rolled round and round, with an aura like a deer. After thinking for a while, he buried his face on Xi Baimian's neck: "Don't ask, don't ask! Anyway, you know that I will believe in it from now on. You are right!"

"Okay, okay." Xi Baimian felt as if he had been hit by something, and felt dizzy the warmth of the other party's neck.

As if thinking of something, Shen Lirong raised his face, and turned Xi Baimian's face domineeringly, with his forehead pressed against his forehead, but there was an innocent look in his eyes.

Shen Lirong stared at Xi Baimian earnestly and asked: "Then I trust you so much, you must promise me one thing!"

"what?"

Shen Lirong's expression instantly turned into eyes: "That's right, lady, don't keep meddling in other people's family affairs, let's spend more time together!"

Xi Baimian responded, "Okay."

Shen Lirong clenched his chin very seriously: "I'm not joking with you! I'm very solemn! Be cautious! I solemnly make an agreement with you!!"

Xi Baimian was amused by his serious look, and for a moment forgot that Shen Lirong hadn't figured out why he was hot and cold about him.

Or maybe it doesn't matter what the reason is, Shen Lirong said that he would always believe him, this incident is enough for him to ignore the so-called reason.

Xi Baimian's eyelashes drooped, he glanced at him, and said with a smile, "Okay."
