What I never expected was that Xie Minglian would come to nothing.

"Your young master has gone out?"

The guard at the door held a sword in his hand, bowed his head and replied: "Yes, please come back another day, Mr. Xie."

Xie Minglian glanced at the gilded plaque on the mansion, and asked: "Then where did he go, do you know?"

The guard hesitated for a moment, originally he didn't intend to say it, but his young master didn't seem to say that it needn't be said, so after thinking about it for a while, he said it anyway, lest Mr. Xie be in vain again the next day.

Xie Minglian's image in Shen's residence is similar to Lou Fang's, they are all good, only Shen Lirong's personal servant, Xiao Ning, doesn't like these two people, others are very kind to them.

"Master, he went to Xishan Lake early this morning. He said he was going out for a walk, so he shouldn't be back so soon."

Xie Minglian squeezed the fan in his hand, and poked his palm, his brows were thoughtful.

Xishan Lake is indeed a good place to relax.

Xie Minglian turned around, started to leave, then paused suddenly, raised his head, and looked in the direction of Xishan Lake.

wrong!Isn't the Henghu River not far from Xishan Lake?

Yesterday Lou Fang told him that the thug was going to Henghu River to investigate, today he came to Shen Mansion and learned that Li Rong was going to Xishan Lake which is very close to Henghu River.

Could it be that these two people are tricky as they found out last night?

Xie Ming couldn't stand up even after a while, so he hurried back home.

Seeing him in such a hurry, the boy went up to meet him.

Xie Minglian separated the people, with a gloomy face: "Hurry up and prepare the carriage, and go to Xishan Lake immediately."

The boy hurriedly went to prepare, but before he could leave the door, Xie Minglian stopped him again.

"Has the killer been sent out?"

"Sent out, young master."

This time, Xie Minglian's face looked better.

……

Xi Baimian was walking at the back of the line, noticing the sights cast on him from time to time, he didn't care.

After seeing Shen Lirong yesterday, he was no longer in a hurry.

Although I don't know why the impossible-to-resurrect NPC that has been personally certified by the system appears alive and kicking in front of my eyes, but this is a good thing.

Maybe it's a system bug.

All he needs to do now is to find out the clues on Lou Fang's side.

The lover is resurrected, and the main task on his side should be completed properly, but it has changed from dying together to going round and round.

A darker, muscular man walking in front frequently looked back at Xi Baimian.

Seeing him like this, the person next to him asked him, "Why do you keep looking at him?"

The strong man replied: "The young master asked me to keep an eye on him. If you find anything unusual, talk to him immediately to attract his attention."

The person next to him couldn't figure it out: "Why?"

Obviously, the strong man didn't know either, and the two of them met each other with tortoise eyes, and fell silent for a while.

"puff--"

When the strong man heard Xi Baimian's movement, he immediately turned his head vigilantly, and found that the other party was holding his lips with his fingers, as if he wanted to stop smiling, but he couldn't stop.

The strong man immediately went over to talk to someone: "Little brother, what are you laughing at? Is there anything interesting? Share it?"

Xi Baimian glanced at him, then pointed to the crow above his head: "Don't you think they are cute in black, hahaha."

Strong man:"……?"

Is there something wrong with this person?

No wonder the young master told him to keep an eye on this person. Of course, if there is something wrong, he should pay special attention to it, otherwise what if their business is ruined?

The strong man continued to chat with him, Xi Baimian smiled, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, chatting happily with the strong man.

The strong man is not a monk after all, so it can't be seen that Xi Baimian seems to be chatting with him, but in fact he has already wandered to the Xishan Lake not far away.

Xishan Lake.

Shen Lirong looked at the crow that fell in front, and after looking at it for a long time, he said to Xiao Ning next to him: "No, isn't this the crow? What black phoenix? Are you kidding me, Xiao Ning?"

Xiao Ning looked at the crow and said solemnly: "Master, have you ever seen a crow that can speak human language?"

"No."

"But it can talk, what is it if it's not a black phoenix?"

Shen Lirong looked over suspiciously, only to find that the crow really spoke: "What are you looking at?"

Shen Lirong, who was originally standing in front of Xiao Ning, jumped behind him, grabbed Xiao Ning's shoulders with both hands, and looked at the talking crow in amazement.

Xiao Ning's hand covered the back of Shen Lirong's hand exceptionally, the hand covering him was pale and bloodless, and the skin color of Xiao Ning's hand was different from usual.

Shen Lirong was still amazed that he actually saw a black phoenix that he had never heard of before.

"Is it really Dark Phoenix?"

Shen Lirong really believed it, after all he had never seen a talking crow.

Xiao Ning choked back her laughter, but the joke still escaped from her words: "Yes, young master, the black phoenix in Xishan Lake is very rare, do you want to make a wish?"

"Maybe the other party will realize it for you."

Xiao Ning said, but her voice seemed to be bewitching, as if listening to him and making a wish would really make the wish come true.

Shen Lirong didn't have many secrets in front of Xiao Ning, so when she heard the words, she folded her hands together, closed her eyes and said, "Then I'll make a wish."

Xiao Ning did not remove her hand on her shoulder, and listened attentively to Shen Lirong's voice behind her.

——No matter what it is, I will make it happen for you.

Xiao Ning couldn't help turning her head, and saw Shen Lirong who had closed her eyes.

At the same time, in the locked woodshed of Shen's residence, a man unlocked it from the inside, walking with a blurred look.

The maid who passed by him looked at this man in surprise: "Brother Ning, you..."

However, the man with blurred eyes did not respond to her, and walked straight back to his room, covered the quilt stiffly, and closed his eyes again.

The female servant just watched Xiao Ning who was supposed to go out with the young master like this, and her heart was trembling, Xiao Xiao let out an exclamation and ran away quickly.

"There is a ghost!!"

From then on, it became an unspeakable secret in Shen's residence that there were ghosts in the woodshed.

……

"I wish I could go home."

Shen Lirong made this wish piously.

He also forbids the unrealistic wish of being able to grow old with the person he likes. People should be down-to-earth and believe in things that can be grasped and expected.

As for the unresolved and broken relationship, it should be regarded as a big dream of this fantasy journey, and it can be regarded as a sour sweet fruit for himself.

He closed his eyes and was still standing behind Xiao Ning, so he couldn't see Xiao Ning's blank expression for a moment when he made this wish.

Shen Lirong had said in front of Xiao Ning many times before that he wanted to go home, and this time was just one of those times. He let it go after he finished his promise, and opened his eyes to find Xiao Ning standing there for a long time.

Xiao Ning was picked up by him, and they had only been in contact for two years. If before, Xiao Ning would be sensible and would not ask anything, but this time is very weird.

"Where is the young master going back?"

Xiao Ning looked at him.

A pair of clear pupils looked straight at Shen Lirong.

He thought that Shen Li's wish, no matter what, should be related to him, but he was disappointed.

Does his husband actually want to return to the Shen residence?

Could it be that his husband really caused him to fall off the cliff because of his mistake that time, and he can't even appear in it anymore?

The puppet controlled by Xi Baimian was affected by the master's emotional fluctuations too much.

He felt fishy and sweet in his throat, and the strong man who was chatting with him was startled and asked him what was wrong.

Xi Baimian shook his head with a smile, that smile was very forced.

He continued to manipulate the puppet with one mind and two purposes.

It is already confirmed that there are monks in Lou Mian's mansion, what is not sure is whether there are monks in this team, so he can't use guns, he can only use his old profession to manipulate puppets.

Over the years, the puppet art that he has truly mastered without relying on system cheating has become superb. Even a cultivator at the transformation stage cannot see his puppet art.

Xiao Ning over there stabilized her mind, the hard long silver lines that accidentally appeared on her head became transparent again because of too much emotion, Shen Lirong couldn't detect anything wrong, only thought that Xiao Ning was suddenly too curious.

"Go back to my old home, far, far away."

"How far?" Xiao Ning looked away.

He thought, if his husband really wanted to go back to Shen's mansion, it wouldn't matter, he could go back with him. Back then, he was the wife that his husband Mingmei was marrying, so there was no reason why he couldn't even enter the door.

As for the mistakes made before, just make up for it slowly.

But what Xiao Ning didn't expect was that what Shen Lirong said next directly caught him off guard.

"It's very far away. You can't go back if you walk. That's why I asked you to pay more attention to the pawn shop. If you find that piece of jade, maybe I can go home."

Not right.

Very wrong.

Although Mrs. Shen has remarried, as long as Shen Lirong sends a letter, it will only take a month at most to receive a reply, and the carriage ride is only a matter of more than two months. What does it have to do with the jade in the pawn shop?

On the other side of the main body, a group of people are ready to reach their destination, Xi Baimian is still thinking about what Shen Lirong said just now.

Perhaps, his husband still has many things that he doesn't know.

Xi Baimian only sensed something was wrong from Shen Lirong's words, but he couldn't say anything wrong.

"Little brother, sit here."

The strong man who had been chatting with Xi Baimian along the way beckoned Xi Baimian to pass.

Xi Baimian knew in his heart that this person might have been arranged by Lou Fang, but he never thought it was to disturb him.

The strong man looked at the golden crow who was standing in the sunshine, and sighed: "I don't know how long it will take to ambush here before we can get to the bandit."

Xi Baimian perfunctory indifferently: "Maybe."

Strong man:"……??"

He hasn't said how long the ambush will be, maybe what maybe!

Xi Baimian continued to stay on the side of Xishan Lake, silently guarding Shen Lirong with Xiao Ning.

It's the early spring of drizzling rain, and it's a bit cold, Xiao Ning thought about it, took a piece of clothing from the Qiankun bag on the main body, and gave it to Shen Lirong.

Those clothes belonged to Shen Lirong in the past, he had prepared a lot of Shen Lirong's clothes in his Qiankun bag for emergencies, after two years of parting, those clothes became items that he thought about when he saw things.

Now, the clothes have finally returned to his original owner.

Shen Lirong was dull, didn't realize that these clothes belonged to him before, and smiled at Xiao Ning: "It's a bit cold, Xiao Ning is really caring."

Xiao Ning shook her head: "I should do it."

The two of them walked to the bridge on the lake, there was an old man selling fish food on it, Shen Lirong bought some, and then he and Xiao Ning lay on the stone pier and fed them little by little.

It can be said that they are very harmonious.

Shen Lirong talked to Xiao Ning for a while, talking about how the tails of those fish swam faster. Suddenly, the people next to him shook their hands, and all the fish food was sprinkled into the water. A large circle of golden red surges.

Shen Lirong looked at Xiao Ning, and found that the other person's expression was wrong, and asked: "Xiao Ning, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Ning froze, and shook her head after a while, but the depths of her eyes were very cold.

On Henghuhe's side, a small-scale massacre started.

Just now, the strong man who was still complaining about not knowing when he would be able to ambush the bandit has already vomited blood, and his eyes are wide open.

Xi Baimian didn't feel much about the people who just chatted for a while, but when the other party died, his heart still fluctuated, but he didn't have any hatred. He came out this time and knew their mission. These people should be the hegemony that Lou Fang said Bandits on one side.

The task object came, but Xi Baimian didn't really care too much. He didn't come here to do his best for the other party, but the other party interrupted his date with her husband.

This is a precious date between the two that has not yet settled their suspicions.

Xi Baimian frowned impatiently, clicked his tongue, and jumped casually, those people couldn't find him.

I don't know why, those bandits are like killing crazy, the people of Lou Fang's team have no power to fight back, and they slaughtered unilaterally.

Xi Baimian, who originally planned to wait and see the strength of the team to see what strength he should enter the arena, frowned and found that the strength of these people in their team was very low.

There is no way to compare with the other party.

Xi Baimian thought for a while, and their army was wiped out so quickly that even Xi Baimian was caught off guard.

This is not so much to ambush the bandits, but rather to give the bandits their heads.

Xi Baimian thought about it, combined with Lou Fang's attitude yesterday, it seemed that he had discovered the truth.

...is this aimed at him?

The purpose of pulling so many people into the water is to make him feel that they are not weaker than the bandits in terms of numbers. In fact, except for him, everyone's strength is not as strong as the opponent's.

In this way, he may take it lightly and suffer from the enemy on his back.

Lou Mian wanted to kill him.

It's just that Lou Fang was a little wrong.

He is not a hot-blooded young man who will fight side by side with these strangers.

He is cold blooded.

After killing all the bandits under the tree, they also felt that the opponent was too weak, like cutting melons. When they were wondering where the strength of the person above was, more than a dozen leaves covered with crystal ice flew towards them.

"Be careful--"

But it was too late.

The icy ice spell just hit them.

Among these bandits, there were monks, and only the monks survived. The others fell to the ground when they touched the green leaf covered with ice, with a bang, and their breathing stopped quietly.

Those monks who survived were horrified.

The master never said that this person is an ice monk!

Before they were overwhelmed with surprise, the branches above their heads, like leaves, rustled and fluttered.

This is obviously not in line with common sense.

The remaining three monks waited in full force, and went straight up to the branch, but unexpectedly fell into Xi Baimian's arms.

It was an illusion.

Xi Baimian jumped down, looked at the three monks who fell down together, and snorted coldly.

He took a long stride, and when he was about to cross a corpse, he stopped again, bent down in a rare way, and used both hands to close the eyes that had been kept open for the other side.

It was the strong man who kept talking to Xi Baimian.

……

Xishan Lake is not far from Qinglang County, Xie Minglian arrived very quickly, Xishan Lake is not big, as long as he searched hard, he would be able to find Shen Lirong soon.

Xie Minglian's eyes were bright and very easy to use. He immediately saw Shen Lirong who was sitting in the gazebo, and was about to pass by, only to find that Shen Lirong was bent over and was very close to the person under him.

His steps quickened.

Didn't that person go to Henghu River?

After approaching, Xie Minglian heaved a sigh of relief.

It's Xiao Ning.

"Living."

Shen Lirong was wiping the uncomfortable little Ning's sweat when he heard someone calling his name behind him.

He looked back and found that it was Xie Minglian.

He was a little surprised that he would meet Xie Minglian here at Xishan Lake.

"Are you here for a walk too?"

Xie Minglian put on a bright smile again: "Well, what a coincidence."

Xiao Ning, who had already dealt with the matter on the main body, opened her eyes again and found a young man she had never seen before.

Adhering to the principle of not revealing, Xiao Ning slightly saluted: "Young master."

Seeing that Xiao Ning changed his address, Xie Minglian was puzzled for a moment, but he was still not suspicious, and invited Shen Lirong: "There is a temple near Xishan Lake, why don't you go and see it together?"

The intimate words made Xiao Ning frown involuntarily.

It wasn't the first time Shen Lirong and Xie Minglian went out to play together, so naturally they didn't refuse: "Then let's go, I haven't been there yet, show me."

Seeing this, Xie Minglian smiled sincerely: "Of course, I am familiar with the abbot there. If we don't want to go back to Qinglang so soon, we can stay there for one night."

……

You Jili came out of the room, full of tiredness.

As soon as he went out, he happened to meet Ji Zhongzhou who was about to knock on the door.

You Jili didn't wait for him to speak, and directly stated his purpose: "Elder Hai?"

Ji Zhongzhou opened his mouth and nodded silently.

You Jili let out another long sigh.

He looked at the highest peak from a distance, which was the peak where the head of the sect was.

Since the head of the sect became seriously ill two years ago and Elder Hai asked them to go to the Shen residence to investigate the spiritual veins, the position of acting head has gradually changed.

The head of the sect is still unconscious. Logically speaking, it is understandable for Elder Hai to be in charge of the Qingchuan Sect, but every task he assigns has an urgent utilitarian purpose.

The Shen residence had already caused them to lose Shen Lirong before, and also made Xi Baimian, the youngest and most powerful in their clan, become taciturn, either retreating or silently doing tasks, like a puppet.

"What is it today?"

"Snow Leopard." Ji Zhongzhou obviously had been suffering for Elder Hai for a long time, and his face drooped.

"Snow Leopard?" You Jili thought for a while, "Then we have to go to Shuikuolin."

Ji Zhongzhou shook his head: "No, we are going to Qinglang County."

"Qinglang County??"

You Jili didn't understand, although the snow leopards in the wide waters were hard to find, he had heard of them at least. In Qinglang County, he had never heard of the existence of snow leopards, he only knew that this was a place in the mortal world.

Ji Zhongzhou was obviously also very helpless, shrugged: "Elder Hai said."

"By the way, senior brother, do you know that Hai Tianlin seems to be..." After all, it was about the secret matter of Elder Hai, Ji Zhongzhou bent down, leaned closer and said, "I can practice again."

You Jili looked at him in disbelief: "Didn't his spiritual root be abolished at the beginning?"

Hai Tianlin is the eldest son of Elder Hai. Although his talent is not mediocre, it is not amazing either. He is an average and above-average spiritual root, but he is too domineering and arrogant. Get up and be locked in a dungeon, but it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to recover the abolished spiritual roots.

Unless it is bathed with Chi Huangdan mixed with medicine and blood, it may be possible to retake it.

But the last Chi Huang Dan has long since disappeared.

You Jili recalled Xi Baimian's guess two years ago, his expression was gloomy, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.

Ji Zhongzhou sighed: "Who knows? Maybe Elder Hai has great powers, and maybe he found some secret method."

"Eldest brother, hurry up and get ready, Elder Hai asked us to set off today."

-

Shen Lirong and the others really stayed overnight, and the scent of incense slowly spread around with a soothing effect on the mind.

He was sitting on the table, eating the melon seeds that Xiao Ning had peeled for him, and reading with the scripture book in his hand.

Ever since he came to Qinglang County, the most important thing he lacked was freshly released scriptures, of all kinds, only the ones he didn't want, and nothing he didn't want to have.

There was a knock on the door.

Xiao Ning went to open the door, he thought it was the Yunpian Cake he asked someone to buy, but he didn't want Xie Minglian who had been wandering in front of them all day standing in front of the door.

Xie Ming even smiled: "Li Rong, the moonlight is hazy tonight, do you want to come out for a walk?"

Xiao Ning's hand that opened the door tightened, her knuckles turned white, and her face sank uncontrollably.

Shen Lirong happened to have just finished reading a story book, and he was in a happy mood. Normally, he would reject Xie Minglian's invitation at such a time, but today he agreed for the first time.

"No."

Xie Minglian couldn't help but his enlarged smile froze, and he looked at Xiao Ning strangely.

With a calm face, Xiao Ning stood by the open door and said, "It's windy tonight, the young master is easy to catch cold."

"It's okay, I'll just wear more clothes." Shen Lirong waved his hand.

Xie Minglian's smile came back.

"Hands and feet will be cold, and the wind will pour in from there." Xiao Ning continued.

"This..." The words were so reasonable that Shen Lirong didn't know what to say for a while.

Xie Minglian was about to interrupt, but Xiao Ning changed the topic.

"Young master, do you really want to go out for a walk?" His pair of clear black pupils just looked at Shen Lirong like this, Shen Lirong was dazed, as if he saw a familiar person on Xiao Ning's green and unopened facial features.

"Hmm." Shen Lirong nodded by accident.

In fact, she didn't think much about going out, Shen Lirong realized that Xiao Ning didn't like herself getting too close to Xie Minglian, and she was about to say nothing.

"Then let's go." Xiao Ning walked to Shen Lirong's side.

Seeing Xiao Ning let go, Xie Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew Xiao Ning's position in Shen Lirong's heart, as long as Xiao Ning let go, Shen Lirong would go out.

Xie Ming laughed and teased: "Just now Xiao Ning couldn't say anything, why did she change her mind?"

"Master's hands and feet will be cold." Xiao Ning ignored him, Xie Ming's eyebrows twitched, and Xiao Ning directly took Shen Lirong's hand, "I will warm the young master."

Xiao Ning casually glanced at Xie Minglian.

For some reason, Xie Minglian always felt that he could see murderous intent from this line of sight.
