Layers of cloudy clouds were entrenched outside the sky, and it was noon the next day, and there was another downpour in the northern region.

The stone house where Yun Zhehuan lived was filled with a group of worried Baiwu people. Among them were not only the senior elders of the clan, but also many well-known professional doctors in the territory.

But it didn't take long for most people to go in and look at it, and they would immediately lift the long curtain with a sullen face and walk out with heavy steps.If someone chases after them anxiously and asks a few questions, the result will always be endless hand waving and shaking of the head.

The next patriarch of the Baiwu tribe in the Northern Territory is also the only female patriarch with a special status in the past. Now she is seriously poisoned and is in danger. All the doctors who have seen it say that her life is in danger.

Such a piece of news quickly swept through every corner of the dripping rain in a vicious way of gossip.

At this time, she herself was leaning on the bed with disheveled bedding, her complexion was pale, her eyes were red, and the tattoo of wings that originally belonged to the glory of the tribe was covered with mottled red marks left by the dragon seal that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Yunqiao was full of tears, sobbing, and brought in a bowl of freshly cooked light rice porridge from the outside. Before she could get to Yun Zhehuan, she was thrown out with the bowl and it was scalding hot. The hot porridge poured all over the floor in an instant, and a few grains of white rice, which were clearly visible, even splashed onto the clean and dust-free uppers of old patriarch Yun's cloth shoes, which were quickly wiped away by the sharp-eyed and careful Yun Pan bent over .

"It's him, Dad, this Yan Jue! It's him who ran to touch the dragon seal at night!" Yun Zhehuan raised his hand and pointed directly at the silent figure in white in the corner, repeatedly using her to approach the broken figure. His hoarse voice repeatedly roared and reprimanded, "He alone did such a dangerous thing of channeling toxins. If I hadn't tried to stop him time and time again, who knows if he would plot something wrong and hide in the dark room to do something else!"

"Be quiet!" The old patriarch Yun pressed his fingers hard on the center of his browbones that had already been twisted into a ball, and said in a deep and sad way, "The toxin of Jielong Seal affects the whole body, and there is no cure for it—you Do you want to die faster when you lose your temper like this!"

"I……"

"Enough!" Elder Yun lowered his eyelashes impatiently, as if deliberately concealing the intertwined tears in the depths of his eyes. After a long time, he stretched out his hand and rubbed it casually under his eyebrows. Taking a deep breath, he turned to look at Yan Jue, and said each word more seriously: "I need a reasonable explanation, why did you choose to go to the dark room alone in the middle of the night?"

At this time, the blood stains on the corners of Yan Jue's lips have faded, and his words and deeds are as natural and decent as in the past, and he is no longer as embarrassed as he was last night: "Since the old patriarch hopes that I can crack the dragon robbery seal as soon as possible, why should I be held accountable?" What kind of time? What needs to be severely questioned now... It shouldn't be the domineering little patriarch Yun in front of him, why did he choose the moment when the Jielong Seal was about to be introduced into the Ya Ling sword, without any scruples? rushing out to disrupt my rhythm?"

"He's lying! He doesn't have the ability to direct poison into the Ya Ling sword!" Yun Zhehuan suddenly jumped up from the bed, almost pointing at Yan Jue's nose and eyes, and said, "Father, don't believe it!" Yan Jue, he himself is about to die, he doesn't want others to be kind, and the Jielong seal is also used to harm people!"

Yan Jue sneered, and immediately dismissed her: "Guiding Jielong Seal to leave the host body was the only way for my master to break the seal back then. The reason why he chose to walk alone in the dead of night was because he was afraid that fools like you would catch up with you." Bump into the glass box?"

Yun Zhehuan moved his lips vigorously, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Elder Yun with a wave of his hand.He is an old man who is over half a century old, and he sat on the bedside without rest for a whole night. He was already tired and his mind was a little dizzy, so he closed his eyes and adjusted his breath for a while, and asked Yan Jue directly: "Now the Central Plains In the territory... is there any way to save the little girl, enough to save her from the pain of the toxin backlash?"

Yan Jue shook his head, and immediately gave the answer: "The only way is to crack the Jielong Seal. Either someone else breaks it, or she exhausts her cultivation to break it... It's just that she doesn't have much accomplishment in martial arts. At this point, I’m afraid I have to rely on others.”

The old patriarch Yun hurriedly said: "Then what about you...you can't..."

"As the old patriarch saw, the current me is exhausted, and I have no way to recover." Yan Jue interrupted him with a little sarcasm, "How can a dying person save her?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yun's patriarch suddenly felt pain in his heart. He turned around and silently stared at the poor daughter who was lying beside the bed covered in poison.

The heavy rain was still roaring and rushing all over the mountains and plains, but all the people in the house fell into an indescribably strange silence, right when the sound of the pattering rain completely replaced the human voice.

He was silent for a long time and took a panoramic view of everything from the pillow. At that time, the old patriarch Yun's heart was choked up, and his grief and indignation were unspeakable for a moment. Yan leaned on his shoulders and volunteered to ask: "So Mr. Yan thinks, can I try to save her once?"

"You?" Yan Jue raised his eyebrows, and said half-believingly, "How do you plan to rescue him?"

Elder Yun's patriarch suddenly heard this, and couldn't bear to look at him with hope.

"The Jielong Seal and its host are both living things, they can be peeled off, and they can also be easily transferred." He lowered his head and cupped his fists from the pillow, and said sincerely, "If Mr. Ruoyan has a way to force Jielong Seal out of the host body again, regardless of the final poisonous Whether she understands it or not, I am willing to bear the pain for her."

Yun Zhehuan was stunned for a moment and said: "From the pillow..."

"I am willing." Without looking back at her from the pillow, he just repeated, "Mr. Yan, no matter how extreme the method of saving lives is, as long as you can find it, I can try it."

Yan Jue had a strange expression on his face, as if he was unwilling to say: "...Are you really willing?"

Immediately said from the pillow: "Yes!"

"I can't use all my internal energy to guide Jielong Seal out of her body, but I know a person who probably has this ability... and the leisurely heart to help." Yan Jue's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his voice There seemed to be some vague resistance in Li, "I can take you to see him. As for whether he can be saved in the end, it depends on whether he is willing or not."

——Beyond the stone house.

The rain is sinking like mist.The constant crowds crowded in the damp and stagnant half of the air, instantly surrounding a narrow bluestone path in front of the door until it couldn't get through.

Yan Jufang opened the long curtain and stepped over the threshold, raised his eyes and hurriedly scanned the crowd, and sure enough, Xue Lanyin had been waiting by the side of the road for a long time.

"...You took advantage of my deep sleep last night to break into the dark room alone."

It's not a question, it's a statement.

Xue Lan stepped forward quickly, and carefully stretched out her hand to hold an umbrella over his head.Every move is so careful and gentle, but his face is indescribably cold and gloomy.

"So many things happened in one night, all of which happened without my awareness. Even Miss Yun...was implicated together."

"Master, are you... hiding something from me again?"

The two stopped at the same time.

Xue Lan looked at him sideways, her dark eyes filled with self-evident doubts and worries.

Yan Jue didn't give any answer, and his face was always indifferent.

After a long period of silence passed, he slowly let out a breath and said: "...I'm a little tired, I want to go back and rest."

——He was really tired, physically and mentally exhausted.

But he never said anything to anyone.

Xue Lan just followed behind him with an umbrella like this, and it was more difficult to walk with each step.

"Master obviously hides something on his mind, but he is always unwilling to tell me."

"No."

"No matter what decision you make without authorization, your first reaction is to lie to me."

"No."

"You said you would be fine, so I promised to listen to you in everything."

"Um……"

"Master, I'm angry."

"..."

So the two didn't speak a word along the way.

The dog apprentice really choked up his stupid master, from endless to nothing to say.

Fortunately, Yan Jue didn't intend to pay attention to him at all, he put his feet on the bed and lay down on the bed after returning to the house, pretending to be dead according to the usual practice.

The master and the apprentice shrank into the bed, and the other sat on the edge of the bed. Neither of them wanted to give in to this softness, and neither of them wanted to talk to each other.

After such a stalemate for about half a stick of incense, apprentice dog couldn't hold it back anymore.After struggling for a while, he unilaterally and decisively announced his surrender.

"If you have something on your mind, you don't have to hold it back... I'm not the kind of unreasonable person, but if you have something to say to me, I can give you an idea... What? Why do you have to quietly carry it alone?"

Xue Lan sat on the edge of the bed with her chin resting on her back, her voice softened and she began to ramble.

"Do you know, when I woke up this morning and found that you were gone, I was so frightened that I lost most of my soul. In the end, I ran out trembling and looked for it, only to find that you were all standing around Miss Yun's room." So, I'm the only one kept in the dark, like a fool, I don't know anything..."

"I admit that I used to be really annoying, always making troubles and making you worry, but recently I... have really changed slowly. I promise to always protect you and stay by your side , why can't you trust me..."

"Master..." He chanted for a long time as if singing a one-man show by himself, but when he found that there was no sign of an answer behind him, he became more and more bitter because of it.But every time this happens, it is impossible to expect the master to come and coax him, so Xue Lan has developed a good habit of self-healing, probably not long after grumbling and complaining, she gradually settled down , continued to show a cheeky face, turned around and said softly and firmly: "Master, I was wrong, please don't ignore it..."

In the middle of speaking, suddenly, it seemed as if someone had deliberately pinched the neck, allowing the voice to stop abruptly.

——Yan Jue actually... fell asleep.

Because Xue Lan froze all over, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move.But seeing Yan Jue curled up on the bed with his eyes slightly closed, breathing evenly, he was sleeping soundlessly with his head tilted.Xue Lan leaned up to scratch him a few times, and after confirming that he really fell into a deep sleep, he finally closed his mouth in a very sensible way.

You can fall asleep like this... How tired is he?

Xue Lan let out a low sigh, and after a brief period of silence, she seemed to recall something in a flash, and subconsciously frowned and stretched out her hand to catch the pulse of Yan Jue's wrist.

To be honest, he didn't even think about finding anything out of it at first.

But it was just this kind of intentional or unintentional probing, Xue Lan's irresistible smiling face, at this moment, finally collapsed uncontrollably——

Master he...

He opened his eyes wide in disbelief, almost shivering, and stepped forward again to gently hold Yan Huang's wrist.

Unfortunately, there were several knocks on the door, and someone stood outside the house and called out intermittently: "Mr. Yan, the elders of the clan still have important matters to discuss with you, could you trouble yourself to go to the door in person?" trip?"
