"The person I sent to investigate found out that the body of the master disappeared before he was buried. It happened once a few years after the 'death', but it was a pity that he was crazy and ran away whenever he saw him. Said he had a sword on his back."

Song Ci's heart was beating wildly, and he murmured, "Is the Soul Slashing Sword in his hand?"

Dong Wei nodded, and frowned in embarrassment, "I heard that he is crazy now, so I don't know if it's true or not. It's easier to find fake ones, madman, hey, who knows what a madman is thinking." His tone After a while, "I will send some more people to look for it, but it is not a good thing to make a big splash, in case it is—" At this point, he stopped, observing Song Ci's expression, he didn't know that Zhong Jiuli How much did you tell him.So when talking to him, always think carefully, so as not to say something that should not be said.

Song Ci came back to his senses, and he glanced at Dong Wei, knowing that he still had doubts about him, "I'll leave this to you."

Dong Wei curled his mouth politely, "It should." Then he got up, "Then when he comes out of retreat, you will call me." He paused, smiled: "See you next week."

Song Ci nodded, then got up and sent the man to the door.

After sending Dong Wei away, Song Ci returned to the house.Zhao Yinuo and Jin Nanling looked at each other, then looked at Song Ci with curiosity in their eyes.

Ye Yunze sat alone on one side, his expression seemed to be lost in thought.

Song Ci opened his mouth, and was about to speak, but his tone faltered, and he swallowed the words again. The subject changed, and he said solemnly: "You must not reveal the matter of the elder brother's injury."

Zhao Yinuo nodded hurriedly, "Okay."

Jin Nanling also nodded, Ye Yunze was slow to react, he glanced at Song Ci, and replied softly: "Okay."

As soon as the words fell, the knock on the door rang again.

Everyone looked at at the same time—could Dong Wei come back?

Song Ci went to open the door, and the one standing outside was not Dong Wei, but Zhao Duzhi. As soon as he came in, he scanned around and asked directly, "Where is Zhong Jiuli?"

A trace of wariness flashed in Song Ci's eyes, "What do you want from him?"

Zhao Duzhi glanced at the three of them from the corner of his eye, scratched his head, and said to Song Ci, "I have something urgent to see him."

Song Ci still replied with the same answer: "He is not here."

Zhao Duzhi raised his eyebrows and cursed in his heart, where did he go at this juncture, he didn't say anything, he just said what was in his heart.

Song Ci was quite familiar with Zhao Duzhi, so he was more relaxed. He said, "What's the matter with you?"

Zhao Duzhi was straightforward, he raised his legs and walked to the study: "Speak in the room."

Zhao Yinuo's heart was tickled, and he wished to have a pair of smooth ears to listen to what they had to say.

Zhao Duzhi saw that the relationship between Song Ci and Zhong Jiuli was unusual, so he didn't hide it, and said directly: "You tell Zhong Jiuli to be closer and be careful."

Song Ci's heart jumped, and he looked at his expression, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Duzhi directly recounted what happened at the elder meeting, and said frankly: "Just wait for the snake to come out of the hole on its own initiative. With his cunning and cautious character, he will never fight an uncertain battle. He may First try to attack and see how strong Zhong Jiuli is. Anyway, I praised Zhong Jiuli so much that it is enough to make them nervous. When he finds that Zhong Jiuli is not as powerful as I said, he will There will definitely be some slack, at this time we just need to ambush and wait for them to throw themselves into the trap."

Song Ci's pupils shrank suddenly, how could Zhong Jiuli face the enemy in this state? !But Zhao Duzhi's words had already spilled out, he lowered his head and lowered his eyes to hide his anxiety.

Zhao Duzhi noticed his uneasiness, and a trace of uneasiness flashed across his eyes, and he asked, "What's wrong with Zhong Jiuli?"

Although Zhao Duzhi has always been casual and undisciplined, he has an extremely delicate mind and strong observation skills.He couldn't figure out the thoughts of those old foxes in the Tianshi Association, but he could guess Song Ci's thoughts with a little guesswork.

Song Ci's heart skipped a beat, he raised his head, forcing himself not to think about Zhong Jiuli's injury.He leaned against the edge of the table, his shoulders drooped loosely, and there was a hint of puzzlement in his bright eyes, "Zhong Jiuli? There's nothing wrong with him."

Zhao Duzhi was in a daze, almost being tricked by Song Ci.He rolled his eyes slightly. Before, he thought that Song Ci was deceived by Zhong Jiuli's appearance, but now it seems that this kid and Zhong Jiuli are simply 'collusion' and 'raccoons of the same feather'.

Under Zhao Duzhi's mirror-like eyes, Song Ci couldn't pretend anymore, he quickly changed the subject, and asked a stupid question on purpose: "If that person can't find Zhong Jiuli, wouldn't there be no chance to lure the snake out of the hole?"

Zhao Duzhi gave him a stupid look, "This person has been lurking in the Celestial Masters Association for 17 years, do you think he doesn't even have the ability to find someone?"

Song Ci lowered his head and smiled to hide his worry, then he raised his head again, "But we don't know when they will come to sneak attack, do we have to wait like this all the time?"

Zhao Duzhi nodded, "Although the method is a bit stupid, it's the only way to go. This person has too deep a mind. If we deliberately flaunt it, he will see through it instead. Only by hiding quietly can we paralyze him."

A trace of surprise flashed in Song Ci's eyes, Zhao Duzhi had never been serious, and he never expected him to have such a rigorous and careful side.

"Also, no one can know about this matter except you know me and Zhong Jiuli. Those stupid young people outside can't speak their minds. If they are caught in the trap, they will lose all their previous efforts." As he said, he He glanced at Song Ci meaningfully, and said quietly, "You are the same."

Song Ci was angry and wanted to laugh, the haze in his heart was swept away by Zhao Duzhi's fuss, he nodded and said: "I will tell him when he comes back."

Zhao Duzhi also nodded, remembering that he didn't see Guan Lingyan in the living room just now, he asked, "Where's my apprentice, didn't he come back with you?"

Song Ci said: "He sent Xu Shengzhi back to Qingyun Temple."

Zhao Duzhi raised his eyebrows, feeling a little nervous, "What happened to Xu Shengzhi?"

Song Ci paused, and said, "I was hurt by the market."

Zhao Duzhi's eyelids twitched, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "I don't know the heights of the sky and the earth!" After a pause for half a second, he couldn't help but said: "I'll go back and have a look, and let me know if there is any situation."

Song Ci wished him to leave quickly, nodded repeatedly, "Okay, you go."

Seeing Zhao Duzhi's back disappear at the end of the road, Song Ci finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, no one should come again.

When he returned to the bedroom, Zhong Jiuli was still lying on the bed, still asleep, but the red tide on his face had receded, his brows were no longer furrowed, and his breathing gradually became steady.

The big stone in Song Ci's heart fell to the ground. He sat by the bed, holding Zhong Jiuli's hand by his side.His hand was a bit cold from bleeding, Song Ci lowered his head, leaned his face on his palm, rubbed it lightly, and murmured: "Brother, get well soon."

The fingertips on his face trembled slightly, but it was so subtle that Song Ci didn't notice it.He leaned against Zhong Jiuli's palm and slowly lay down on the edge of the bed.

In the yard, An Yan stood quietly on the branch, watching the sun sinking, and the whole city was covered with a ray of light at dusk.And the moonlight gradually climbed up the treetops, and the street lamps lit up in patches, bringing light to the city again.

Xu's identity is far more than what it seems on the surface, and Zhong Jiuli seems to know the truth, but has never mentioned it, why?

An Yan fell into deep thought, his little mind had never thought of such a complicated matter.

He has always done things that couldn't be simpler, but because of this, he was cheated for 17 years.Thinking of Gu Qing, tears welled up in his eyes, under the moonlight, a cold light reflected.

——Whoever kills Gu Qing, he will kill him.

When Zhong Jiuli woke up, he was already on the branch of the moon. Feeling the weight of his palm, he was slightly stunned. He lowered his head and looked at Song Ci who was lying on the edge of the bed. The moonlight passed through the window and fell on the ends of his hair. His eyebrows and eyes illuminated his sleeping face.

Zhong Jiuli's stern face softened slightly.

At this time, the door opened quietly, and he immediately looked up.

Zhao Yinuo poked her head out and looked at Zhong Jiuli who had woken up in surprise. She couldn't help but exclaimed, and then remembered Song Ci who was still asleep, and she quickly covered her mouth.

But it was too late, Song Ci was a light sleeper, and woke up suddenly. The moment he woke up, his eyes were still a little confused, but his hand had already held Zhong Jiuli's hand.

Zhong Jiuli squeezed his hand as if responding. Song Ci was startled and completely awake. He looked at Zhong Jiuli in a daze, "Master, brother."

Zhong Jiuli also looked at him, and responded lightly.

Zhao Yinuo's eyes were hot outside the door, she sniffed and said, "Eat something."

They made some digestible and nutritious fish porridge. They originally wanted to ask Song Ci to come out to eat some, but when they found him asleep, Zhao Yinuo didn't wake him up.

Song Ci had just suffered a serious crime, and in the afternoon he met Dong Wei and Zhao Duzhi. Although he didn't know what they said, seeing his expression was not a pleasant topic.Obviously he was very tired, so Zhao Yinuo decided to let him sleep for a while before getting up to eat.

Unexpectedly, he slept until late at night, afraid that he would sleep on his stomach overnight, so Zhao Yinuo planned to wake him up, but Zhong Jiuli just woke up.

Zhong Jiuli originally intended to get out of bed to eat, but Song Ci refused, "You haven't eaten much this day, eat something before getting up."

Song Ci brought the porridge directly, and there was no room for him to refuse.

It was rare for Zhong Jiuli to be taken care of so directly by Song Ci. He was taken aback for a moment before accepting it calmly.

After a few bowls of hot porridge entered his stomach, Zhong Jiuli felt his body warm up, and his face didn't look so pale anymore.

Only then did Song Ci say, "Do you want to go down to the ground for a walk?"

Zhong Jiuli nodded, lifted the quilt and was about to get up, but Song Ci carefully put his hands on his shoulders, as if he hurt his leg.

Zhong Jiuli didn't say anything, his upper body leaned on Song Ci's shoulder, but his lower body stood firmly on the ground.
