There are people coming and going in the corridor outside the door, mixed with the sound of footsteps, the shouts of the guests and the gracious response of the waiter.But at this time, all the hustle and bustle was blocked by the thick door panel, and for a while, only the sound of rapid heartbeat and breathing remained beside the two of them.

Shen Li stared at the face that was close at hand.

That face looked correct, but it was completely unfamiliar. He was sure that he had never seen this person before.But when those eyes looked at him from top to bottom, he could clearly see some kind of frighteningly familiar emotion from those deep pool-like gazes.

——Exactly the same as Ji Yun's eyes when he looked at him.

"You..." Shen Li muttered, but before he finished speaking, the man let go of him first.

The force on Shen Li's body relaxed, and the man asked, "Who are you?"

Shen Li paused.

The expression in the man's eyes was completely hidden by him at that moment, Shen Li looked up at the face, but couldn't see any clues.It seemed that the familiar expression he saw from this person just now was just his illusion.

Shen Li didn't answer for a while, the man frowned: "What are you following me for?"

Shen Li closed his eyes, unable to tell what emotion he was in.

After a while, he raised his head and smiled coldly at the man: "Young master, don't blame me, I mistook the person."

After finishing speaking, Shen Li opened the door and walked out.

The people inside the door didn't seem to have expected him to leave so quickly, and they just froze in place, unable to react.Suddenly, his eyes swept over and something fell on the ground.

The setting sun is sinking gradually, making people's shadows extremely long.

Shen Li stood in the corridor of the inn, staring at the gorgeous afterglow in the sky, and for no reason thought of that morning in the Spring Return Tower.He pushed open the door and saw Jiyun standing in front of his door, his silhouette was reflected very clearly by the rising sun in winter.

A trace of irritability appeared in Shen Xin's mind, and he stepped forward, when someone behind him stopped him: "Young master, stop."

Shen Li paused.

He turned his head, and the man handed a red rope to his eyes.

"You lost something."

A small golden ball is hanging on the end of the red rope.A spirit bird is tattooed on the ball, as if it is about to fly, lifelike.

It was the talisman bird that Jiyun gave him.

Shen Li's eyes moved to the man's face, his eyes darkened, as if he wanted to see some flaws from that impeccable face.

But he couldn't see anything.

Before he could answer, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "My lord, so you are here!"

It's Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun walked up in two or three steps, with a relieved expression on his face: "Master, I was frightened, didn't you tell you to wait for me downstairs, what should I do if something happens?"

"I didn't..." Shen Li replied subconsciously, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the man's hand holding the red rope tightening suddenly.

He suddenly turned a corner when he reached the point of his mouth, Shen Li pulled out the red rope from the man's hand, turned his head and smiled at Qiao Yun: "It's okay, I just wanted to come up to take a look, but I accidentally dropped this. After searching here for a while, it was delayed."

Qiao Yun: "So it's like this, if you want to find something, just tell me, but don't run around by yourself."

Shen Li glanced at the man's increasingly stern expression, and said to Qiao Yun, "Put it on for me."

"……what?"

Shen Li stuffed the red rope into his hand and said, "Help me put it on quickly, we should go back."

"..." The man's face was tense, and his expression was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.

In the past, Qiao Yun was taking care of Shen Li's daily life. He didn't think too much, took the red rope from Shen Li, and leaned over slightly.

Qiao Yun was a few points taller than Shen Li, so in order to help him put on the pendant, he had to lower his head, in the eyes of others, this action was a bit ambiguous.

Shen Li looked at the gradually cracked expression of the man opposite him from the corner of his eye, and tilted his head slightly to hide the uncontrollable smug look between his brows.

"Okay, my lord." Qiao Yun quickly helped Shen Li put on the red string, and said with a smile, "My lord, you used to be such a precious thing, why did you accidentally lose it today?"

Shen Li: "..."

Shen Li hurriedly said: "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't..."

However, Qiao Yun didn't notice his panic. He turned his head to look at the man who was still standing beside them, and bowed solemnly to the man: "This is the fairy who helped my young master find the things, thank you fairy!" help each other."

Man: "...it's nothing more than a little effort."

Qiao Yun seemed unaware of Shen Li's wink at him, and said earnestly: "I don't know about something, this is my young master's favorite thing, and I hold it day and night on weekdays, it is very precious. If there is no fairy elder Help, my young master is going to be very sad for a while."

Shen Li: "..."

Qiao Yun wanted to say something more, but Shen Li was furious: "Stop it!"

But it's too late.

Shen Li watched helplessly as the white-clothed man in front of him restored his original gloomy expression little by little, and there seemed to be a little more joy and teasing in his brows that he couldn't even notice without looking carefully.

Shen Li: "..."

Too much.

Shen Li took a deep breath, and grabbed Qiao Yun forcefully: "Okay, come back with me!"

After finishing speaking, he dragged Qiao Yun downstairs as if fleeing.

Seeing Shen Li's figure disappear at the corner of the corridor, the man sighed with relief, smiled and shook his head.

This fool.

He turned his head back to the bedroom just now, closed the bedroom door, went straight to the table and sat down.After a while, a man in a black corset lifted the curtain of the inner compartment and came out.

Beixuan walked to the table, poured a cup of tea and offered it: "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Qi Changzhao took a sip from the teacup, and asked, "How about the matter you were sent to investigate?"

"Since the Changyu Sect issued the letter, a total of 23 immortal sects have sent disciples here, among which the eight major immortal sects have sent elite disciples, and hundreds of casual cultivators have come here. The small sect sent people to investigate, but nothing has been found yet."

"No, Mozong has already arrived." Qi Changzhao brushed the rim of the cup with his fingertips, and said softly, "It's still the most difficult one."

"Your Majesty is talking about Tianyi Shenzong?"

Qi Changzhao was noncommittal.

He closed his eyes, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Go back first, you can't help here much."

"But..." Beixuan pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "I heard that the misty swamp is extremely dangerous, and I am willing to do my best for His Majesty. Your Majesty must not put yourself in danger—"

"Okay." Qi Changzhao interrupted him, "If I can let others do it for me, why should I come here myself?"

Beixuan was surprised: "Your Majesty is saying..."

Qi Changzhao said leisurely: "The things in there are much more dangerous than you think, don't look at so many Xianzong disciples, this huge Yunyan City, apart from me, I am afraid that only that guy can escape from there safely .”

Beixuan's eyes moved slightly, as if he wanted to ask something, but he held back.

He is the monarch's secret guard. He was brought up in Tianyu Kingdom since he was a child, and he knows best what to ask and what not to ask.

Although he didn't dare to ask more questions, he probably knew who the guy His Majesty was talking about was referring to.

——The youngest son of Marquis Yongding, the concubine who escaped from Bai Yujing on the wedding night with the monarch, Shen Li.

The matter of the imperial concubine's escape is not many people know about Bai Yujing.Even Beixuan only knew the identity of that person after Qi Changzhao stole the bronze mirror three months ago.

As for why His Majesty not only did not arrest the concubine who escaped from marriage, but also hid his identity and approached that person, and even allowed that person to collude with Tianyi Shenzong, Beixuan still couldn't figure it out.

Of course, it was not his turn to consider these questions, and he dared not ask the unpredictable new emperor His Majesty.

Qi Changzhao drank tea with his eyes downcast, Beixuan quietly served by his side, and the room fell into silence for a moment.

I don't know how long it has passed, suddenly there is a knock on the door from the waiter outside the house: "Guest officer, are you there?"

Qi Changzhao winked at Beixuan, Beixuan nodded, and dodged back to the inner room.

"What's the matter?" Qi Changzhao opened the door, and the waiter was standing at the door with a perplexed expression on his face.

The shop waiter tremblingly held up a handful of money, and said with a bitter face: "Guest officer, there is a distinguished guest who insists on booking our inn, why don't you... change to another inn?"

Qi Changzhao frowned: "Who is it?"

"It's me." Shen Li, who had been going back and forth, closed the black cloak on his body, stood at the end of the corridor and smiled provocatively at Qi Changzhao.

Qi Changzhao: "..."

The corner of Qi Changzhao's eyes twitched, and the waiter in the shop trembled and said: "Guest officer, they have driven away all the customers in the shop, so you should go too. You don't know, they are from Tianyi Shenzong, and that person is said to be Tianyi Shenzong." The Holy Envoy of Shenzong, don't mess with it..."

The envoy stepped forward leisurely, and patted the waiter on the shoulder: "I said, shopkeeper, why bother talking nonsense with other people, just drive them out, if something happens, I will blame it."

Probably because this face is too dignified and beautiful, even if he speaks in such a domineering tone, it is not annoying at all.On the contrary, it is more like a kitten with its tail proudly raised, which makes people want to hold it in their arms and rub it.

Qi Changzhao suppressed the agitation in his heart forcibly, and said calmly: "It turns out that you are the envoy, and you have offended me a lot earlier, so I will leave now."

"Wait!" Shen Li didn't expect him to be so happy, so he hurriedly called out to him.

Qi Changzhao looked back at him.

Shen Li was inexplicably guilty of seeing him, pinched himself hard with the hand hidden under the cloak, and said bravely: "This envoy has changed his mind, you can stay here."

A fleeting smile flashed in Qi Changzhao's eyes, and Chen Ken said: "Don't dare disturb the envoy to rest, I'd better go somewhere else."

Shen Li: "What are you talking nonsense, I said you can stay if you can, you are not allowed to leave!"

Qi Changzhao frowned, showing a proper look of embarrassment.

The waiter looked back and forth between the two, and scratched his hair in confusion.

Before half a stick of incense, the envoy of the Tianyi Divine Sect blocked the inn with people, and "invited" all the people in the inn out without any explanation, but the guests in this room were the only ones that would not be disturbed.

After all the people in the store had cleared out, the man sent him here again to chase people out.

But he clearly said he was going to kick him out, why didn't he let him go now?

Are people in the Mozong acting so weirdly?

Before the waiter could figure it out, Qi Changzhao asked softly, "You really won't let me go?"

Shen Li bluntly replied: "No."

Qi Changzhao looked at his appearance with lowered eyes, and after a while, he said lightly: "If so, then I would like to thank the Holy Envoy."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and walked into the house, and with a bang, the door in front of Shen Li was closed heavily.

Shen Li: "..."
