Lan Mei waited in the inn for a long time but did not see Jiang Xundao coming back. Seeing that it was midnight, she thought that Jiang Xundao had left her and ran away, so she followed the guide bees planted on Jiang Xundao before. past.There was no one on the street in the middle of the night, only a few drunks lying sound asleep in the alley corner.

The cold wind blew up the fallen leaves on the ground, Lan Meiyan followed the buzzing little wasp around a few street corners without blinking, and then stopped in front of a house in the south of the city.The house was brightly lit, and the plaque said Xu Mansion, but in front of the door was burning paper money tied with red thread, it looked like a temple for people to worship.

Retracting the guide, Feng Lanmei stepped in and walked in. Xu's mansion is not too big, it is a typical Jiangnan mansion. There are flowers and plants in the front yard and a rockery with flowing water. Even the grass is very clean and flat. It doesn't look like an empty house where no one lives. .Lan Mei looked left and right, stepped on the gravel road on the ground, and walked to the front of the hall.

The hall originally used to receive guests has been converted into an ancestral hall by the villagers of Jingzhou. There are two memorial tablets enshrined on the wooden table, and three sticks of incense are still inserted on the incense burner in front, which looks like it has just been lit.

Jiang Xundao was silently kneeling on the futon in front of the tablet, his back straight and motionless.

There was no one around, and Jiang Xundao was the only one in the hall.Lan Mei stepped across the threshold, leaned against the door and hugged her arms, looked at her with a half-smile, and asked softly, "Know you?"

Jiang Xundao knew that Lan Mei was coming, but she just stared blankly at the tablet in front of her and ignored it, her fair face was covered with a layer of sadness and bewilderment.

Lan Mei was not annoyed when she didn't get an answer to her question, she put down her hand and took two steps forward.Turning around, her clothes fluttered, she sat on the mahogany chair in the hall with an indecent posture, looked around with her chin propped up, and said, "This house looks good, it's open and quiet. It is most suitable for people to live in, but it is a pity that it has been converted into an ancestral hall."

Jiang Xundao stood up silently, patted the incense ash on his knees, and turned to look at her: "What are you doing here?"

Lan Mei curled her lips and rolled her eyes: "I thought you ran away by yourself and left my sister here."

Jiang Xundao looked at the tablet in front of him, and said coldly: "Before I came here, I met a disciple of Fenghua Valley on the street who had just left the valley. I heard from her that Fenghua Valley has been heavily guarded recently. I will go there tomorrow to see You'er is nearby. The identity of Miss Lan is inconvenient, so just stay at the inn and wait for news from me."

Lan Mei was very dissatisfied with Jiang Xundao's attitude, she clicked her tongue in a strange way: "Yo, I really plan to leave me behind. Don't worry, I have been in the human world for many years, how can it be so easy for others to see through I have lost my identity. Youer left this time, I have the responsibility, and I will go with you if you want to go. Even if you really found Youer, with her stubborn temper, are you sure you can bring her back?"

"Then it's up to you." Jiang Xundao lit another stick of incense, bowed to his parents' tablet, then inserted the incense into the incense burner, turned around and was about to go out.

"The two of you are so bored, and I don't know what you can do together." Lan Mei snorted softly, followed Jiang Xundao quickly, and walked out of Xu's residence together.

In Fenghua Valley, the head's conference hall was brightly lit, Leng Qiushui was sitting on the main seat, his face was covered with frost, and several people were kneeling in front of her.Looking around, Yin Li is among them.

Leng Qiushui asked in a cold voice, "Did you find it?"

A female disciple kneeling on the ground trembled, and hurriedly replied: "Never, that day Master Lan... After Lan Yiyou and Jiang Xundao escaped, there was no trace. The disciple and a group of junior sisters have captured Huaishui City. I searched all over the place, but couldn't find the two of them."

"Trash." Leng Qiushui was suddenly furious, and she reached out and slapped the wooden table beside her to pieces. She stood up and scolded angrily: "The people from Qingyun Palace and Zenyi Temple are also sending people to arrest them. If they let them If you find the traitor first, do you know what they will do? After sending so many people, they have found even a clue, so do you still want me to find it myself?"

All the disciples quickly bowed their heads and said in unison: "Sect Master, calm down."

Leng Qiushui was furious, and all the disciples didn't dare to say anything.At this time, Yin Li stood up, walked to Leng Qiushui and said softly, "Master, the younger sisters have been searching for days and nights. Since Lan Yiyou and Jiang Xundao have escaped, they will definitely find someone else." Hiding in a hidden place without showing your face is really hard to find. Why don't you let the junior sisters go down and rest first, and look for it tomorrow."

Leng Qiushui sat down slowly with his hands on his forehead, and said with a tired face: "Okay, you guys step back first."

Everyone stood up and retreated in panic, Yin Li lowered his head and made a gesture to leave, when he turned around, Leng Qiushui's voice came from behind: "You stay."

A gleam of light flashed in Yin Li's eyes, he turned around and stood respectfully beside Yin Li: "Master, what do you want to tell your disciples?"

Leng Qiushui stared at her, eyes full of frost, she asked in a cold voice, "You didn't know about the traitor until that day?"

Yin Li nodded and said: "Yes, but the disciple felt that there was something different about Lan Yiyou..."

"Okay, you can step back." Leng Qiushui also knew that Yin Li must take the opportunity to say something bad about Lan Yiyou, so she had already noticed it carefully.It's just that she was so stupid that she forgot that Leng Qiushui trusted Lan Yiyou very much before, and taught her personally for many years. The more she acted afterward, the more Leng Qiushui felt that she had mistrusted someone, and she would not have any good looks towards her.

His face froze, Yin Li bid farewell in a low voice, and then slowly walked out of the conference hall.

Leng Qiushui sat alone in the hall, with a look of slump and weariness on his face.As soon as Lan Yiyou's incident happened, the elders in the sect were very dissatisfied with her. Qingyun Palace and Zenyi Temple also accused her of raising tigers, and even kept a monster in the sect and entrusted her with trust.He also suspected that Fenghua Valley had been infiltrated by the Demon Cult, and wanted to take the opportunity to take over Fenghua Valley.

In just a few days, her head turned gray with worry. Internal and external troubles coupled with her disappointment with Lan Yiyou, whom she once trusted so much, made her anxious, and she almost lost her mind when she was practicing.Lan Yiyou hadn't been found for a day, and Leng Qiushui couldn't rest for a day. She didn't understand what kind of scheme Lan Yiyou used to enter Fenghua Valley. She had concealed it for many years. Was it really a hidden stake of the Demon Cult, or There is another secret.

In the past, she thought she knew her favorite apprentice very well, but now that she thinks about it, she doesn't understand at all.Sometimes she even wondered if all this was the result of Yin Li and the people from Qingyun Palace colluding to deceive her.But so many people have seen with their own eyes that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, so how could this be a scam.

All these doubts can be resolved only when she sees Lan Yiyou.

She walked back to her courtyard alone, and the disciples guarding the door saluted obediently.Leng Qiushui nodded. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, her expression changed suddenly. She turned her head to look at the two disciples who were dedicated to their duty and vigilantly patrolled the surroundings, closed the door, and walked quickly to the wing.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw the familiar figure standing in the room.

Leng Qiushui looked at Lan Yiyou in front of him with an angry face, and the door that was opened was closed heavily with a flick of his sleeves.With a flash of her figure, she appeared in front of Lan Yiyou in an instant, her white-glowing hand directly grabbed Lan Yiyou's neck.She gritted her teeth and said, "You are so brave, you still dare to come to me?"

The hand pinching his neck was extremely hard, Lan Yiyou took a breath, neither fought back nor dodged, just whispered: "I made a big mistake and lied to Master, so I will come to apologize."

Looking at this beloved disciple whom she personally raised and taught for many years, Leng Qiushui couldn't let go no matter how cold-hearted she was. She slowly let go of her hand, took two steps back, and asked sharply, "Are you really a monster?"

"Yes." Lan Yiyou nodded, then took the sword on his back, and knelt down in front of Leng Qiushui: "But Tuer has never betrayed Fenghuagu?"

Leng Qiushui was stunned for a moment, then reached out and took the sword in her hand. She smiled coldly and said, "You are really bold. Nowadays, all righteous people in the world are searching for your whereabouts. How dare you go back to Fenghua Valley like no one else?" , and arrived at my residence safe and sound. It seems that I, Fenghua Valley, have really lost, and I can tolerate a monster like you coming and going freely."

"The disciple has only practiced in Fenghua Valley for many years and knows the terrain." Lan Yiyou knelt on the ground, and around this scene, she still straightened her back and looked calm.

Leng Qiushui stared at her in silence for a long time, then suddenly sighed and said, "Are you not afraid that I will kill you?"

Lan Yiyou shook his head and said, "I know Master won't."

As soon as this remark came out, Leng Qiushui was even more furious. She sneered, and the long sword in her hand suddenly came out of the sheath and stabbed directly at Lan Yiyou's chest: "You are really confident, why should I miss you, a monster?" .”

Lan Yiyou didn't move at all, even though the long sword in front of her was hanging in her heart, the sharp sword energy seemed to prick her skin through her clothes, she didn't dodge it, she just bowed her head and said: "Master has taught for many years, disciples have always remembered Yu Xin. Although I have deceived my master by hiding my identity, my disciple has never done anything that endangers Fenghua Valley or the righteous way. I know that I have made a mistake, and I will not ask Master to forgive me. If Master wants to arrest me and give the world an explanation, disciple And no regrets."

Leng Qiushui stared into her eyes, as if trying to see a trace of deception, but there was nothing.Lan Yiyou's eyes were as clear and indifferent as ever.After pondering for a while, Leng Qiushui asked, "Have you disclosed the matter of the sect to others?"

"No." Lan Yiyou shook his head.

"Can you collude with the Demon Cult?"

"No."

"Then why did you lie to me and join me?"

"Focus on the Tao."

Lan Yiyou's decisive answer made Leng Qiushui even more puzzled. He had no purpose to sneak into Fenghua Valley just to practice Taoism. If this is the case, then why should Lan Yiyou be guilty?Could it be that the only fault was her identity, and it was the original sin just because she was a demon?

The two masters and apprentices just knelt and stood one by one, and they didn't speak for a long time.After a while, Leng Qiushui withdrew her sword, turned her back to Lan Yiyou, closed her eyes and said tiredly, "Do you know what situation Fenghuagu will be in because of your matter?"

"That's why the apprentice came back to plead guilty."

Leng Qiushui shook his head helplessly: "Get up. Even if I believe that you have not colluded with the Demon Sect, will the people in Qingyun Palace and Chanyin Temple believe you? Will the elders and disciples of the sect believe you?"

Lan Yiyou knelt down, looked at Leng Qiushui's back, and thought of Master's trust and teaching for so many years, but felt helpless and guilty: "I don't care whether others believe it or not, as long as Master believes. As for Disciple will give master an explanation for the disaster caused by Fenghuagu, I just hope master can give disciple some time."
