Because of Liu Yihuan’s order, Zhong Minyan’s face remained dark all night, darker than the bottom of the pot.

Basically, this kind of look on Zhong Minyan’s face means a warning: ‘I’m annoyed, don’t mess with me!’ So several young people who are familiar with his character have tacitly chosen to ignore him, so as not to accidentally draw fire to themselves.

Liu Yihuan didn’t eat his words and walked in front of him cheerfully, leaving all the prepared dog’s blood and boiling oil for Zhong Minyan to carry, while he was still in front of him urging:

“Hurry up, hurry up! Even a snail can crawl faster than you, okay? Haven’t you had enough to eat?”

Seeing that the veins on Zhong Minyan’s forehead were about to burst open, Xuanjo couldn’t help but walk over with fear and said softly, “Sixth Brother, I will help you carry …”

“No use!” Zhong Minyan threw these two words out between grtitted teeth and when he saw Xuanji still shaking by the side, he said, “What are you shaking for? Go forward!

Xuanji wanted to call Yu Sifeng and the others to help me, but when he yelled, she was so shocked that she just grabbed her braid and looked at him embarrassedly.

He regretted his impulsiveness, his face eased a little and e put the four hot earthen jars around his chest, raised his hand and scratched his hair, whispering, “You, don’t worry about me. The earlier we go to rescue Ting Nu, the earlier we can go to Buzhou Mountain sooner, then you can let Linglong ……”

He did not go on. Xuanji saw a profound sadness flowing between his eyebrows, quite different from his usual dazzling flame-like spirit. Too much has happened recently and he has changed a lot. The moonlight was hazy and his face looks like it is covered by a soft light, only a pair of eyes, burning brightly. This kind of look made her feel like lightning hitting a stone, think of four years ago at Xiaoyang Peak when he went down the pool to catch fish. The moment he floated up from the bottom of the water, water droplets sliding down his handsome contours, his eyes bright as stars, brightly looking at her.

There was a sudden tremor in her heart, as if she was caught in a fragile place by a small hand, she looked away embarrassedly

“It will be fine … Linglong and Second Brother will both be rescued.”

She mumbled.

Zhong Minyan laughed with a slightly quippy smile, “Again with these endless nonsense. You’re going to save them? Are you good enough?”

“I can definitely get them back! I’m not saying nonsense! I’m serious! Even if …… I have to fight for my life, ……”

His hand suddenly tapped on her forehead, his palm burning. The stammering words were cut short.

“Don’t try your best. Linglong is already… I can’t let …… anything happen to her sister. Absolutely not.”

After speaking, he suddenly smiled and pushed his hand gently on her forehead. Xuanji took a step back in a dazed manner. Seeing his lips curl up, he gave a bright smile, “You are a little girl just follow us! This time you should be more obedient, when I tell you to run away, do not dawdle, understand? At least …… you escaped, there is still some hope to counterattack, if the whole army was wiped out …… haha, that would be too disgraceful to the Shaoyang Sect.”

At the front of Liu Yihuan began to yell again in the empty street: “You guys are not full of food ah? Can’t you walk faster? If we go like this, we won’t make it by dawn. Don’t blame me if you don’t get saved!”

Zhong Minyan grunted and ran forward with the four jars in his arms.

Xuanji stared at his back with a dazed look, only to feel that he was both far and near, unpredictable. It was a long, long time ago when he was so difficult to approach, like a beautiful Luán[1] bird that flies far away, never looking back.

Suddenly he was lightly patted on the shoulder, Yu Sifeng lowered his head and smiled at her, and said in a low voice, “Come on, don’t be in a daze.”

She met his deep black eyes and only felt that something was falling in her heart. For some reason, she doesn’t know why she thought of that magnificent forest of apricot blossoms, the deep red and light pink falling like rain, the boy said he liked her.

Once again, she turned her face away in embarrassment. There was something beating in her throat, her chest was blocked by many things, and her body felt cold and hot.

“There is a treasure left by the ancient gods in the Zhou Mansion, do you want to see it?”

Yu Sifeng asked her with a smile.

Xuanji was stunned for a moment, and nodded hesitantly, “Yes, what treasure is it?”

Yu Sifeng quietly pulled her over and said softly, “Hush … don’t let someone hear you or they’ll steal it , you will know it when you see it. To the top of the nine heavens beyond, down to the Yellow Springs, it isn’t unknown.”

He said it very mysteriously on purpose, and it really aroused Xuanji’s curiosity, her eyes were staring at him like a cat’s, waiting for him to reveal more information.

Unexpectedly, he just smiled and patted her on the head, and said softly, “I will show it to you when I get there. Let’s work hard now and go.”

Xuanji ran with him, and it took a long time to realize that he was trying to make her happy. Her face must have been ugly just now, so he turned her attention away.

Sifeng is really good, she knows.

However, when I think of it this way, I actually feel sad, and I don’t understand why. She quietly stretched out her hand, trying to grab his sleeve but he was always one step faster than her, without looking back he turned her hand over, held her hand firmly and smiled back, “Afraid?”

Her heart was beating wildly, her face was burning slightly, and she shook her head hastily.

She was glad that the darkness of the night had shielded her from embarrassment, and that the purple fox lying on her shoulder, pretending to sleep, had not said a word, so that she would not be embarrassed.

Late at night in Qingyang City, there was no one but the food stalls in the alleys ready to close. The sound of the wind flowing out of the alleys, whistling and gurgling, rolling up a little bit of residual snow, swirling on the ground – like Fuyu Island, the world outside is still late winter and early spring, cold to the bone.

The purple fox, who had been sleeping on Xuanei’s shoulder, suddenly moved, and the beard on its pointed mouth trembled, and its purple fur moved with the wind.

“The smell of Qing Geng!” She cried out suddenly and jumped off Xuanji’s shoulders, her figure resembling lightning and she rushed to the old store front in the blink of an eye.

The group immediately changed direction and followed the purple fox to the left. As soon as they turned the corner, the tall ochre red wall replaced the short white walls, which everyone knew meant they were outside the Zhou Mansion. The ochre red wall could only be used by officials

The purple fox was blocking an object in the corner at the end of the high wall, shouting urgently about something. Xuanji only felt a fishy smell of qi rushing towards her face and she couldn’t tell whether it was a monster or just a smell and it enveloped the demon aura of the purple fox.

She frowned and covered her nose, the smell was floating from Zhou’s residence. It seems that Liu Yihuan was right, there really is a demon in the Zhou House! And the smell is very heavy, extremely unpleasant.

“Can you do anything else but squeal? Say something useful! Where is Ting Nu?”

The purple fox was so anxious that she was banging her head against the wall and jumping like a thunderclap.

Everyone ran over and saw a small bird with green feathers and a white tail, the size of a magpie, stuck in the corner. It was probably because the purple fox had yelled at it, that it was jumping up and down, squealing like it was trying to argue.

“Let’s take a look.” Liu Yihuan walked over and grabbed the green ird in his hands, only to see a piece of bright red cloth tied to its feet, which looked like the material of a wedding dress.

“That’s Ting Nu’s dress! The smell I smelled earlier must have been this. The demons here have trapped Ting Nu, and when Kang was protecting him, Qinggeng flew out to look for help.”

The purple fox jumped on Xuanji’s shoulders and buried its nose in her collar, screaming again: “I don’t know what kind of demon lives here, the smell is so strong! I’m getting faint! I can’t smell anything else.”

Liu Yihuan touched the green bird, letting it fly, and smiled back: “It just said that there is a very powerful snake demon living here, it is about to become a dragon, and it is time to shed its skin, so the smell is very strong. If he and Kang can’t deal with it, Ting Nu will be in immediate danger.”

“The snake demon will become a dragon?” The purple fox jumped, “I’ve lived this long, but I’ve never seen a snake that became a dragon!”

That’s a lot of power! These few juniors, together with her and Liu Yihuan, who has the heavenly eyes, are probably not enough to make up for the others!

“What are you afraid of?” Liu Yihuan looked at Xuanji with a smile and whispered, “The one who can’t die, I’m afraid it’s the snake demon that’s going to die.”

The purple fox immediately understood his meaning, indeed, that little girl is a bit wicked, can release the true fire of sān mèi[2], even if they really become a dragon, there will be a way to deal with them.

“The second lady’s boudoir is in the southeast corner, we have to move separately, so as not to anger her and be swallowed in one bite.”

Liu Yihuan said casually, “You, you and you. The three of you will go through here. I will go with the beauty and the boy with the jars from there. When the time comes, follow my orders.”

They all nodded and jumped over the wall in a flash.
