"Oh?" Shang Li was about to take the heavy brocade box, and then opened it. When the lock fell off, there was a slender piece of jade in the brocade box.Shang Lixing couldn't help showing joy, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "You did a good job on this errand."

Na Sanxiu said with a shy smile: "How can we brothers not try our best to complete the things that the sect master explained?"

Shang Li was about to put the brocade box on it: "I'm sorry for your trouble this time, go to Ji Qing to receive the reward."

Na Sanxiu thanked him and went down happily.

Shang Lihang held the brocade box containing the Yuetian Stone in one hand, his heart was very happy and satisfied, he lost the mood to deal with mundane affairs for a while, he just wanted to go back quickly with the treasure in his hand, to please that person.Walking like flying, he couldn't wait to turn back to his own courtyard. Before he reached the front door, he could already hear rustling sounds in the courtyard. It was the dull sound of the golden knife colliding with the tree stump. It was obvious that the man was practicing sword again.

Shang Lixing stepped lightly, quietly hid in the bushes, staring at that handsome and light figure, looking at it, couldn't help but see Xie Liuchen's blank expression in front of him.In the past 300 years of his practice, he has traveled all over the four continents and made friends with the world. He has seen countless coquettish or beautiful beauties. Cui Mingruo, one of the nine sons, was even known as the number one beauty in Cangyuan. But in Shang Lixing's view, But it is not as lively and lovable as the frown and smile of the person in front of him.

He gently rubbed the brocade box in his hand with his fingertips, and said in his heart: "How to please people, you have to figure it out slowly."

He didn't know that Xie Liuchen seemed to be focusing on wielding the sword and didn't hear the outside world, but in fact his heart was already turned upside down.He heard what the black-robed man said before, and he had some guesses about his own background, but he just waited for the opportunity with a tactic of delaying the attack, and came up with a perfect plan.But now that he learned that Master Nan Xing who raised him was from the Yaozu, he was a bit dazed besides being surprised.Thinking of what the man in black had told him to do before, he hesitated again.Unsettled, he swung his sword in the courtyard to relieve his inner hesitation with the intent of the sword.

The monster clan unexpectedly appeared in the world, and the demon clan was staring at it again. Shangli dealt with many complicated and important affairs, and was busy preparing surprises for Xie Liuchen, leaving early and returning late every day.For example, to strengthen the guard in the mortal world, send disciples to hide in various places in Silu to inquire about the movements of various ethnic groups, strengthen close ties with other sects on the Nanling Continent, etc., everything needs to be done by him personally, sometimes a trivial matter He was so busy that he couldn't get out of it.When Xie Liuchen hadn't left the room, it had been cold for a long time in the next room under the quilt, and when Xie Liuchen rested, Shang Lixing hadn't returned yet.

Most of the people in Qiushuimen have their own affairs to be busy, Xie Liuchen sits alone and is bored, and doesn't like to socialize with others. Except for Bai Xuan's occasional visit and a few chats with him to pass the time, in addition to cultivating and practicing The sword is not much different from when it was on Leiluo Peak in the past.But by chance one day wandering around in the Shanglihangyuan, he found a good place.

Shang Lixing is a man with a study.Detour around a luxuriant path from the two-person room, step up the basswood corridor from the end of the path, go to the six rooms on the right, open the door, and you will find the study of Shanglihang.The study room is not big, but the books stored there are vast.

Silu's territorial blueprints, collections of documents, anecdotes of the four clans, histories written by strange emotions... Xie Liuchen wandered around in the study, flipping through a few monster clan tales for a while, and going through the stories of the demon clan for a while, Jieri Li can't put down the book, wishing to keep his eyes on the page, and his restless heart is inexplicably comforted by the scroll and the fragrance of books.But he is a shameful person anyway, he always feels uninvited, flipping through the owner's book at random is very abrupt, but if he begs Shang Lixing, "I want to go into your study and read your books" I really can't say it.After moving my head for a while, I started to do a "pretending to be smart" thing.During the day, when Shang Lixing was away, he sneaked into the study room like a thief, and read the books in his arms.In the evening, when it was estimated that Shang Lixing was about to return, he immediately stood up and restored the messy study to its original appearance with his excellent memory, then closed the door and left quietly.He thought that this matter was done flawlessly, so he was proud of it several times.It's just that once in the afternoon when he was lazily leaning on the bamboo couch, flipping through a sword manual written by a nameless master, he saw Shang Lixing standing straight outside the study door against the light.He wasn't in a hurry, he just swung his legs slowly, turned his head and said, "You're back."

Shang Lixing paused for a while, coughed a few times, held back a smile and said, "You can come to my study as you please, you don't have to work so hard."

Xie Liuchen only gave a faint "Oh" and responded immediately. Afterwards, he was even more unscrupulous, turning over half of the books in the study in just ten days.

Such days passed by leisurely, and another ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and the demons and monsters did not see any changes. Shang Lixing did not dare to relax at all, and ordered people to keep an eye on it.In the calm and calm, Ji Rou came back from the mortal world.

She led more than ten loose cultivators, and rushed all the way back to Qiushuimen.The first thing to do when you get started is to go to the meeting hall and report to the Shangli Bank in detail about your whereabouts over the past few years and what you have encountered on the road.Her voice is clear and her figure is valiant. Although she has more than seven points of similar appearance with Ji Qing, she has always been unsmiling and stern, which makes her look a little more icy.

At this time, only He Suowu and Ji Rou were standing in the conference hall, and Shang Lixing took the main seat, and said to Ji Rou who was standing in front of him, "Thank you for your hard work this time. Fortunately, the entrance to the Qianzhong Shadow Wall has been closed. In the future, the number of demons sneaking into Nanling will be greatly reduced, and you can come back often."

Ji Rou has no expression on her face: "Compared to the door master, this little thing is not hard work."

Shang Li said with praise in his words: "Since you brought people to the mortal world to maintain order, the mortal world has been much more stable in recent years. The former boss discovered the mortals who were killed by the demons in time, so that we can make preparations and stop losses early This time you can be said to have done a great job."

Ji Rou raised her face and said: "I don't care about Chang Rong's stability, which cannot be counted specifically. My real merit is not here."

Upon hearing this, Shang Lixing became interested: "Oh? What achievements? Let's talk about it."

Then Ji Rou raised her head and looked at him: "Ji Rou wants to ask the sect master first, what kind of reward do you plan to give me?"

At this time, He Suowu interjected lightly: "It might be good to be a deputy sect master."

Ji Rou hummed and said: "You're right. I haven't seen Sister Bai for a long time. I wonder if she sent out her herbal sachet?"

He Suowu's expression changed, and he said coldly, "Don't bother. It will be mine sooner or later."

Shang Lixing couldn't help but smile.Although these two people have very similar personalities, one is quiet and reticent, the other is arrogant and self-confident, and they are both sword cultivators.

After a few words of verbal confrontation, Ji Rou returned to the topic, looked at Shang Lixing and said, "I killed 370 nine demon spies in the mortal world, how much work is this?"

"Kill them all?" Shang Lixing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's good to kill them, so as not to cause more troubles, during your time—"

Just as he was about to ask, the footsteps of two people suddenly came from outside the door. The former walked in a hurry, while the latter chased after leisurely, but they never lost a step. In the blink of an eye, the two came to the front of the three.Ji Rou's calm face all the year round finally loosened, and she called out to the person in front of her in a low voice: "Brother."

Ji Qing couldn't suppress his surprised expression, he rushed forward and said repeatedly: "Little sister, you are finally back! Brother misses you so much!"

"Brother," Ji Rou said with a little warmth in her tone, "...I miss my brother too."

Ji Qing held her half in his arms, and looked up and down excitedly: "Little sister, how are you doing in the mortal world? You, are you injured?"

Ji Rou let him hug her and forced herself to show an unskilled smile: "well, I've been fine, brother don't worry."

Shang Lixing and He Suowu watched the reunion of the two brothers and sisters, feeling a little relieved in their hearts, but when they looked up, they saw the curved sky standing behind them like a green wood, staring blankly at the two very similar faces, already dumbstruck.

Qu Kongqing said in a hoarse voice: "Ji Rou? You are my sister Ji Rou? You, how could you—"

Seeing that he was staring at her and her brother, Ji Rou pushed Ji Qing away, stood in front of her brother, and stared at the unknown person with a cold face.

Qu Kongqing took a step forward and walked in front of the two brothers and sisters. Looking at Ji Rou, he was surprised and delighted and said: "Crimson purple robes, magnificent sword light... Could it be you that I saw in Hongjiang Tower?"

Ji Rou frowned slightly, her eyes froze: "Hongjiang Tower? You're talking about the time you visited the garden in spring three years ago?"

Qu Kongqing's eyes sparkled: "It really is you! You are the one I'm looking for!"

Ji Rou stared at him coldly: "Who are you? What has it to do with you?" Then she looked back at her brother: "Brother, who is this man?"

Ji Qing's face turned pale when he heard Qu Kongqing say the phrase "You are the one I'm looking for". He looked at the people in front of him in a daze, and felt as if he was having a nightmare, but everything in front of him was real. It was even scarier than in the dream.With red eyes, he suddenly exerted his strength and rushed away from the door.

Ji Rou hurriedly called out: "Brother!" She gave Qu Kongqing a hard look, and ran out of the conference hall after Ji Qing.

Qu Kongqing said hello, and then ran out following the siblings.

Suddenly only Shang Lixing and He Suowu were left in the room.He Suowu called out: "Brother, they—" He didn't move, his tone was hesitant, obviously he hadn't reacted yet.

Shang Lixing sat upright, and suddenly realized: "No wonder Qu Kongqing made unreasonable gestures of friendship, but it turned out that he had admitted to the wrong person."

He Suowu finally understood, and clicked his tongue: "Ji Qing and Ji Rou are two brothers and sisters with completely different temperaments. They are a man and a woman. How could the one with the surname Qu easily admit his mistake? You are really blind."

Shang Lixing looked calmly, and said: "The two of them look very similar, outsiders who are not familiar with his brother and sister will inevitably misidentify them."

He Suowu still said to himself: "You can't even distinguish between men and women, you are so confused."

While talking, she saw Bai Xuan walking in and turning her head from time to time, asking in surprise, "What's wrong? Why did they run out one by one?"

He Suowu's body froze for an instant, Bai Xuan glanced over the two of them, and then stayed on He Suowu: "Didn't you say you had something to ask me yesterday? Why did you miss the appointment again?"

He Suowu forced himself to calm down, and said incoherently: "No, it's nothing... I'm here, I put some rare herbs in your medicine house, and I just... gave it to you..."

Bai Xuan said with an oh: "Thank you so much."

He Suowu hurriedly said: "No, no, no...you're welcome..."

Shang Lixing laughed secretly, and saw Bai Xuan turn around and said: "Master, your medicine is ready, should I bring it to your courtyard later, or should you come over and drink it yourself?"

"I'll go there by myself," Shang Lixing said, "Fortunately, this is the last time."

"Isn't that so?" Bai Xuan said with a smile, "You were overdrawn with too much qi before, which damaged your Tao body. You can't do without medicine."

Shang Lixing said: "At this time, people's hearts are fluctuating, and the demons and monsters are vying to make troubles. The matter of my unhealed body, only the three of us know, there is no need to reveal it."

He Suowu responded: "I know." Bai Xuan also agreed, and went out after explaining a few words.He Suowu watched her slender figure leave in a daze, with the word "lost" written all over his face.
