She did have an extra pattern on her arm.

It's just that the pattern is located in the darkest part of the tattoo, and it is difficult to find it without looking closely, and most of the time it will be mistaken for the tattoo itself.

Pei Ye frowned and recalled.

She didn't notice the pattern before she returned to her body.

On closer inspection, the pattern resembles a key entwined with intricate branches and flowers......

Key......

Could it be something that came out of the young master of the Su family after his death?

Pei Ye secretly took a closer look.

I found that the strange key left the talisman seal at some point and ran to my body, but there was no threat to An An.

No matter how peaceful it is, it is also foreign, and Pei Ye expelled it as soon as he thought about it.

A burst of black mist surged, and the key composed of black mist condensed above Pei Ye's palm.

As soon as I looked up, I saw that Gu Shao's expression had also changed and changed, both shocked and incredulous, and a little struggling......

Seeing this, Pei Ye found an excuse to gently spread the flower.

She asked Gu Shao, who seemed to know, in a low voice.

"What is this? Do you know this thing?"

Gu Shao asked rhetorically, "You don't know?"

Pei Ye said: "If you don't remind me, I really didn't find out." ”

The black mist didn't look very clean, but it didn't hurt her to get close to Pei Ye inexplicably, which made Pei Ye a little surprised.

She sealed the black mist in the talisman, but she didn't even know when the black mist would break through the black mist and when it would run to her body.

It's almost impossible to happen.

Don't look at Pei Ye's spiritual realm most of the time on standby, but self-defense has always been open, which is equivalent to locking the door and adding a monitoring alarm. Foreign substances approached her, even if there was no malicious intent, it would be intercepted, and it was impossible not to alarm Pei Ye at all.

Unless this black mist level surpasses Pei Ye's limit, or it itself has the qualifications to enter and exit......

But is this possible?

Gu Shao looked at Pei Ye with a looking eye.

He was sure that Pei Ye didn't have this pattern before, and he was also surprised to see her reaction, it didn't seem to be a fake, the pattern should have appeared recently.

Could it be ......

Countless speculations flashed in Gu Shao's heart.

"People from the Seven Great Families have approached you recently?"

Pei Ye shook his head.

She wasn't lying, after all, it was she who took the initiative to contact the people of the Seven Great Families.

"Does this have anything to do with the Seven Great Families?"

Gu Shao smiled bitterly: "The relationship is big." ”

"This thing is harmful to me?"

Gu Shao didn't answer immediately this time, his expression was a little struggling, as if he was hesitating to tell the truth.

In the end, after a battle between heaven and man, he gritted his teeth and confessed: "You will be killed because of it!"

When Pei Ye heard it, he felt that this matter was boring.

“...... I thought it was a big deal...... It's a waste of my feelings for a long time. ”

She killed the eldest lady of the Yang family and the young master of the Su family one after another, both of whom were recognized heirs by the family, and they had long been immortal.

"You don't know the seriousness of the matter yet. Gu Shao hesitated, "...... In a word...... If you don't want to die, give it to me. ”

Pei Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard it.

"How did you give it to you, and why did you give it to you?"

How dare you open your mouth.

Gu Shao didn't care about the soft thorn in Pei Ye's words.

"You don't have to be so defensive, it doesn't do you any good. ”

Pei Ye looked deaf.

Gu Shao asked her, "Do you know the legend of the Black Tower and the Seven Great Families?"

Pei Ye said: "I've heard of it." ”

Gu Shao said: "In the legends related to them, there is something that the world has only heard of its name and has not seen its face - that is, the token given by the Black Tower to the Seven Great Families. You've guessed that this is the token of the Black Tower! the core of the Seven Great Families. ”

Token?

Pei Ye pretended to look at Gu Shao vigilantly.

"What do you mean—this is one of the keys to the Seven Great Families?"

Gu Shao nodded.

"How do you know so many things?"

Gu Shao responded calmly.

"It's not a secret to put it in detail, I'm also a high-ranking member of the Free Army, so I don't even know about these things. ”

Pei Ye looked at the key condensed by black mist in his palm.

When she had the idea of throwing away the key, she could even feel a strong attachment and sadness, as if she could see a pair of familiar eyes through this black mist. She shook her head and suppressed the strange thought, which was not the most important thing at the moment.

"Then why is it here with me?"

Pei Ye pretended not to know and asked Gu Shao, concealing the matter of the young master of the Su family.

"That's exactly what I want to know, it's so hot to hold in your hand. Gu Shao suddenly said something shocking, and said something that made Pei Ye almost choke on saliva, "Your situation...... I guess you probably, maybe...... It could be the illegitimate daughter of seven families away......"

Pei Ye: "???"

Why didn't she understand Gu Shao's logic?

Gu Shao replied: "This is the 'Black Tower Token', and it is the lifeblood of the Seven Families, and it is also the existence that all forces in the world will secretly covet, including the Seven Great Families themselves. In order to maintain their position for hundreds of years, their methods of hiding the 'Black Tower Token' are endless. ”

When Gu Shao finished explaining a few more common routines, the corners of Pei Ye's mouth twitched to understand Gu Shao's logic.

“...... Do you suspect that one of them has secretly hidden the key from me?"

Gu Shao answered this question conservatively.

"I don't rule it out, but I don't think it makes sense logically. No matter how big his brain was, he didn't expect that it was Pei Ye who killed the key obtained by the heir of the family, Gu Shao analyzed carefully, "As the container of the 'Black Tower Token', as long as you can keep it, you can make a wish to the Black Tower on the day of the 'Holy Day', and easily replace that family to become one of the new seven families, and make a difference between life and death." With such a temptation, who can not covet it? It is not long before the 'Holy Day' once every ten years, and there is no reason for the Seven Great Families to transfer the key at this joint, which is too risky. ”

Therefore, this "Black Tower Token" should not be a voluntary transfer container for one of the Seven Great Families.

He thought that someone had killed the last container, and he was worried that the "Black Tower Token" without a container would resonate with other "Black Tower Tokens", which would cause him to reveal his identity, so he temporarily hid on Pei Ye to avoid the limelight - but Pei Ye was not so good.

How could anyone hide something from her without her knowing?

You know, this thing is well hidden, but it's a hassle to take it out.

Either the "container" will voluntarily give it up, or the "container" will be killed and taken away from the "Black Tower token".

When the seven families choose their illegitimate children as "containers", they all do this, and the containers basically don't know that they have such a thing in their bodies, and the seven families will not tell their illegitimate children, let alone let the "container" give up the "token" with affection.

After all, with such a "Black Tower Token" in hand, isn't it good to have everything alone?

The greed and selfishness of human nature are vividly exposed on this issue.

Pei Ye said: "In this way, it is even more impossible for me to give you the things, and there is no reason to let go of the things that come to me." ”

Gu Shao said: "If you can keep it, you can hold it." ”

He really has no ambitions for the "Black Tower Token".

Back then, when his father, that is, the previous head of the Gu family, was still there, he publicly said that he would be the "container" of the "Black Tower Token".

However, Gu Shao refused, he had no confidence in himself, he had seen many people swell after suddenly having the right to control everything, with a hateful face, crazy and doing whatever they wanted - instead of becoming a "container" and fighting against "***", it is better not to have it in the first place.

Pei Ye's palm was closed, and the key was hidden.

Gu Shao's eyes were always calm.

"Can you know whose key this is?"

Gu Shao said: "Looking at the family crest and surname on it, most of them are from the long-cherished family——"

I really want to sigh.

Before the Gu family became the head of the seven families, the Su family was the leader, and they had reached the extreme, and they had delusionally planned the remaining six families instead of the Black Tower - the banner they played was very good, but their ambitions were too ugly, and now they have lost the "Black Tower Token".

Gu Shao could almost imagine the panic and anger of the Su family when they found out about this.

Is the balance of the Seven Houses finally going to be broken?

Gu Shao was a little worried in his heart.

Although it is quite chaotic now, the balance of power of the seven families has been broken, and the scope of the dry fight will be wider, and the ordinary area is not safe.

"Whether it's the Su family hiding you here, or an unknown force doing it, you have to pay attention to your safety recently. ”

Gu Shao was even more worried about the flowers.

He found that Pei Ye really caused a lot of trouble wherever he went.

Even if she doesn't take the initiative to find trouble with others, others will take the initiative to find her trouble.

"I'll pay attention to ......"

Pei Ye paused, and the corners of his mouth pursed with a wisp of meaning.

"As long as the news doesn't leak out of you, I promise no one will be able to find me, let alone trouble me. ”

Gu Shao's face darkened slightly.

At this time, Hua came back with his slippers gently, and his face changed as if he had returned to his normal color.
