Please give me a chance to be a straight man

Shen Xu and the others looked towards the top of the tower when they heard the sound, and saw a handsome young man wearing a Luoxing Pavilion robe standing on the tower.

Several Luoxing Pavilion disciples immediately recognized who the young man was, so they all shouted in unison, "Brother Bai!"

Bai Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then

He also recognized everyone, and his face was full of surprises, "Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Li, and all of you are here!" After speaking, he quickly opened the tower door to let Shen Xu and his party enter the tower.

The furnishings in the tower are still in the high-profile and luxurious style of Luoxing Pavilion, but it looks much more low-key than the outside.

Bai Xiao took Shen Xu and the others around the tower, and on the way they met many people from Fengcheng rescued by Wen Ran and some monks from other sects who were injured in the beast horde.

After these people learned that Shen Xu and the others came from Fengcheng, their first reaction was to rush up to ask about the situation in the city and their family members.

Several Luoxing Pavilion disciples hesitated for a long time before telling the truth to the eagerly looking eyes of the crowd.

After hearing the news that no one survived in Fengcheng, the people froze in place.Then, a burst of sobbing gradually came from between them.

Among the people, there was a little girl who was nearly three or four years old. She saw her mother beside her was crying, so she raised her head and gently grabbed her mother's sleeve, and asked in a childlike voice, "Mother, Why are you crying?"

The little girl's mother didn't speak, but knelt down and hugged the little girl tightly.

The little girl stretched out her chubby little hand and patted her mother's back lightly, and whispered, "Mother, don't cry."

Although Shen Xu was already used to seeing life and death, but occasionally he couldn't help but get a sore nose when he saw the scene in front of him.

Bai Xiao had been in contact with the people the longest, so when she saw this situation, she stepped forward to comfort them.After the people's emotions stabilized, Bai Xiao followed several brothers and sent them back to their respective residences one by one.

After dealing with all this, Bai Xiao went back to Shen Xu and the others and talked about how he and Wen Ran encountered a beast tide in Fengcheng and Wen Ran was injured and arrested.

Shen Xu listened carefully the whole time. Although Bai Xiao seemed to be trying hard to explain everything he experienced after coming to Fengcheng in detail, his eyes dodged when he mentioned why Wen Ran was arrested. It was very vague.

Shen Xu couldn't help frowning.

Shen Xu and his party were somewhat exhausted after driving for a long time, so Bai Xiao arranged a place for them to rest.

Shen Xu yawned and was about to enter his room when Jiang Xun appeared behind him at some point.

Shen Xu was taken aback, "Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Xun motioned to enter the room and talk about it later.

After the two entered the room, Jiang Xun asked bluntly, "What's the matter with your chest injury?"

Shen Xu poured himself a cup of tea, then said slowly, "That's what I said."

Hearing the words, Jiang Xun looked deeply at Shen Xu, obviously not believing what he said, "You tell the truth."

Shen Xu sat at the table and crossed his legs, and after a while he said, "Do you still remember that when I first fought with Guixiu, I was already in a losing position and I was about to be in danger, when suddenly a golden light erupted from my body?" Saved my life?"

Jiang Xun nodded, "I remember."

Shen Xu looked at Jiang Xun, "My injury happened after that, so I suspect that every time the jade pendant is activated, it may have a corresponding backlash."

"Then you want to destroy it?"

Shen Xu shook his head, "Keep it for now, maybe it will be useful in the future."

After Shen Xu finished speaking, he saw that Jiang Xun didn't seem to have any plans to go back, and was about to ask, when he saw that Jiang Xun had already taken off his coat and was lying on his bed.

Shen Xu didn't have the habit of sleeping in the same bed with others, so he walked to the bed and wanted to wake Jiang Xun up and let him go back to his room.

But when he got close to Jiang Xun, he realized that Jiang Xun had fallen asleep.In desperation, Shen Xu had no choice but to quietly climb onto the bed and lie down beside Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun fell into a deep sleep, and his long breath brushed over Shen Xu's face, a little itchy.

Shen Xu couldn't sleep, so he started to look at Jiang Xun's face when he was bored.

Jiang Xun's appearance is the kind of impeccable handsomeness no matter when he looks at it. Although Shen Xu has seen this face countless times, occasionally he will be amazed by the brilliance between Jiang Xun's brows and eyes.

Shen Xu's eyes traced Jiang Xun's face carefully, and finally stayed on his thin lips.

Jiang Xun's lips were light pink, and the shape of the lips was also pretty, with the corners of the mouth slightly raised, Shen Xu couldn't help swallowing when he saw it, and almost couldn't help but want to kiss him.

Fortunately, Shen Xu's self-control is amazing, and finally suppressed evil thoughts with the righteousness of being single.

Then Shen Xu pinched Jiang Xun's nose as if venting his anger, and whispered, "You charming male goblin."

Jiang Xun's breathing was blocked, but he didn't open his eyes immediately, but opened his arms to gently wrap Shen Xu in his arms.Then he leaned close to Shen Xu's ear and whispered, "Don't make trouble."

Shen Xu's ears felt a little hot from Jiang Xun's doting tone, and after complaining in a low voice, he couldn't help but moved into Jiang Xun's arms again.

Early the next morning, Shen Xu discussed with several Luoxing Pavilion disciples to send the surviving Fengcheng people out of the secret realm.Everyone agreed.But in order to prevent being attacked by monsters along the way, everyone proposed to let a few disciples escort the people.

Bai Xiao scanned the crowd, and then took the lead in saying that she was willing to escort the people.

Then there were three Luoxingge disciples who expressed their willingness to go with them. Chen Yang, who had the most seniority, glanced at the four of them. Just as he was about to say let’s do this, Shen Xu suddenly interjected, “I think it’s better for Junior Brother Bai to stay. After all, he But we are the ones who are most aware of the surrounding environment and the situation of the demon cultivator who captured Wen Ran. Brother Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Yang nodded, "Junior Brother Ling is right. If that's the case, you should stay here, Junior Brother Bai. For the task of escorting the people, Junior Brother Zhang and the three of them are enough."

"But, brother!"

"What? Do you have something important to leave the secret realm now?"

Bai Xiao heard Chen Yang's hidden anger, lowered her head and whispered, "No."

"If that's the case, then it's decided."

Then the three Luoxing Pavilion disciples escorted the common people and the injured monks out of the secret realm.Bai Xiao watched these people leave all the time, her complexion was a little bad.

Seeing this, Shen Xu was even more sure that there might be something tricky about Bai Xiao.So for the next few days, he kept observing Bai Xiao in the dark, but he didn't find anything suspicious about Bai Xiao.

Three days later, when Shen Xu was about to dispel his suspicions about Bai Xiao, Bai Xiao was arrested by several Luoxing Pavilion disciples because he wanted to steal the key to the secret realm from Chen Yang.

Several disciples were very puzzled by Bai Xiao's behavior and wanted to ask.

Suddenly, a magic talisman from nowhere broke the peace of the crowd.

The content of the letter is very simple, but also very shocking. "Hand over the key to the compass of life and death within three days, or Wen Ran will die."

Except for Shen Xu, all the disciples present were disciples of the four major sects, so naturally they all knew about the compass of life and death.So I was very surprised to see the contents of the letter.

Then everyone looked at Bai Xiao tacitly.
