Yeqi, who turned around and left with the ingots, didn't notice that there was always a shadow following him behind him.

And Di Jiuqing, who had been secretly following behind Yeqi, looked at the firelight in the sky hundreds of miles away with dark eyes.

Ever since Ye Qi was taken away from the inn, he had noticed that Di Jiuqing, who wanted to make an immediate move, suddenly stopped.

This little fox is so scheming, how can it be so easy to be taken away without saying a word?

So he has been hiding silently in the dark, but he didn't expect to see this scene in front of him.

Emperor Jiuqing looked at Yeqi who was gradually moving away with an inexplicable expression, thinking of all the things that had happened since he met her.

Where did this little fox come from?

Shadow Four emerged from the shadows, "Ninth Master, Nine is here, it's time for us to go!"

Di Jiuqing looked at the dark night that was red by the firelight a hundred meters away, and his lips opened lightly, "Shadow Four." ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"You stay. ”

"Yes. Ah, Ninth Master, what did you say?"

Ying Si said in disbelief.

Emperor Jiuqing slowly turned around and glanced at Ying Si on the side. "You stay, follow Yeqi to protect her. ”

Ying Si looked at Emperor Jiuqing with begging eyes, with a loveless expression.

Ninth Master, do you want me here?

"Until I get back!"

Ying Si's face turned cloudy to sunny at this time, and he said with some excitement. "Yes, Ninth Master!"

Fortunately, fortunately, the Ninth Master didn't want him anymore! The Imperial Clan's shadow guards had a sense of mission since the moment they were trained.

They are born as emperors, and death is the soul of the emperor, and as a shadow guard, the greatest sorrow is to be expelled from the clan.

"Protect her!" Di Jiuqing was about to leave, and said in a low and solemn tone.

Ying Si's face straightened, and he nodded heavily. "Yes, Ninth Master. ”

can be so solemnly told by the ninth master, no matter who it is, he will do his best to protect it.

Di Jiuqing waved his sleeves, rose in the air, and disappeared in a few breaths.

Ying Simu sent Di Jiuqing away, looked in the direction of the inn, and chased after him in the air.

Yeqi, who solved the disaster in his heart, lay on the bed, and finally could sleep peacefully, holding the little ingot, and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

The first rays of the morning sun playfully jumped and shone on the earth, tearing through the sleeping darkness.

A good night's sleep, and the next day everyone downstairs seemed to be in good spirits.

Ye Qi walked down the stairs with a good face, and the brothers and sisters of the Ye family and Ling Xiao, who couldn't wait to go home, were already sitting downstairs.

Ye Shuyi looked at the stairs and nodded slightly. "The Seventh Prince. ”

"Hmm. ”

Ling Xiao on the side also raised her head, "Seventh brother, you're here." Come and eat, we'll go back after breakfast. ”

The corners of Ye Qi's mouth were slightly hooked, and he habitually looked towards the location where Emperor Jiuqing was last time, but found that the table was empty.

Yeqi frowned slightly and glanced at the sunlight outside. No, how can there be no one at this time?

Ye Qi, who was thinking about this question, didn't notice that he had subconsciously thought about Emperor Jiuqing.

Ling Xiao saw Yeqi looking to the side, and instantly understood Yeqi's thoughts, and opened his mouth, "Seventh brother, you don't have to look at it, Brother Nine left last night, it seems that he has returned to Jiudu." ”

Yeqi turned his head to look at Ling Xiao, and when he heard what Ling Xiao said, he felt a little indescribable in his heart for a while.

She thought that they were already friends, but she didn't expect that this person didn't even tell herself when he left.

Forget it, my original intention at the beginning was to stay away from this person.

Thinking like this in his heart, he still couldn't help asking. "How do you know?"

"Shadow Four stayed, he told us early in the morning. ”

"Shadow Four?"

"Little boy!" At the other table, Kage-four, who was eating breakfast, stood up.

But he silently complained about his sense of existence in his heart, is it so weak?

Yeqi looked at Ying Si who stood up on the side, "Your master is gone, why did you stay?"

"Back to the little boy, the ninth master asked me to stay with the little boy for the time being. ”

Yeqi frowned, "Stay by my side, stay by my side for what?"

Of course, it's to protect the night girl's safety!, but he can't say this reason.

"Xiao Gongzi's subordinate doesn't know, and his subordinate is only responsible for obeying the orders of the ninth master. ”

Yeqi raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded, but his heart was inexplicably relieved.

Keep it, keep it, anyway, if Ying Si can be Emperor Jiuqing's shadow guard cultivation, it must not be low, just as there is one more bodyguard, no matter how you say it, it will not hurt you to stay around.

After breakfast, the group returned to Luoling City through the teleportation array the way they came.

Because Luoling City is near Luoyan Mountain, the temperature is much higher than here. The difference between the two cities is that one is winter and the other is summer.

The moment he returned to the central square of Luoling City, Ling Xiao's face was full of excitement, he took off the cloak on his body and handed it to Ling Qing on the side.

"I'm back, I'm finally back, that hellish place is icy and snowy, I really don't want to go a second time. ”

The old housekeepers, who had been waiting for several days in the central square of Luoling City, were also excited and speechless the moment they saw Ling Xiao and them come back, and walked forward excitedly.

"Little master, little master, you can be regarded as back. ”

This is already the seventh day, these days, the old man is not eating or sleeping well, he is worried all day long, and he has been worried about what danger the little master will encounter when he goes out for the first time. It's good now, the little master is finally back! Don't worry about it!!

"Hey, Uncle Ling, how do you know we're coming back today?"

"Hey, little master, I didn't know that you came back today, we have been waiting here since the fifth day, and we have been waiting for several days. ”

Ling Xiao stepped forward and gave the old housekeeper a big hug, "Uncle Ling, thank you for your hard work." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard. Little master, how about getting that ......?"

Before the old housekeeper finished asking. Ling Xiao nodded excitedly, and even said in a choked voice.

"Uncle Ling, I got it, my mother was saved this time. ”

"Really, great, great, quick, quick, let's go back, the master has been waiting for a long time. ”

"Okay!" Ling Xiao just wanted to lift up, and then suddenly stopped.

"Hey, Uncle Ling, I almost forgot to introduce it. They are the friends I met this time, and they are the branches of the Ye Clan of the Nine Great Families of the Capital, and the people of the Ye Family of Anye City. This time they are going to Luoyan Mountain, and I think they will stay at our house for a few days. ”

The night court on the side nodded slightly to the old butler.

The old housekeeper on the side was a little surprised, the night clan of the nine major families! Even if it is a branch of the night family, the little young master can meet it, this is also a great blessing! It seems that the little young master has gained a lot when he goes out this time.

The old butler nodded hurriedly, "Okay! Since you are a friend of this little master, you are naturally welcome!"

The group rode the carriage towards the Ling family, the carriage clattered on the cyan floor tiles in the city, listening to the hawkers on both sides of the street, Yeqi sitting in the carriage actually had a feeling of quiet years.

If she can find her way back, she must bring Grandpa Night here, so that Grandpa Night can come and see the prosperity and tranquility here.

Grandpa Night has been busy all his life in order to organize the organization, and when he arrives first, he should also enjoy life.

It didn't take long for the group to walk to the gate of the Ling family. Yeqi lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and saw the Ling City Lord anxiously going back and forth at the gate of the Ling family, and saw the carriage coming from a distance, and walked towards the carriage excitedly.

"Phew!" shouted the coachman, and the carriage stopped steadily at the door. Ling Xiao didn't wait for the City Lord Ling to step forward, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped off the carriage excitedly.

"Daddy, Daddy, I'm back!"

The City Lord Ling stepped forward and hugged Ling Xiao, "Okay, good, it's good to be back, it's good to be back!"

Ling Xiao flipped his wrist and took out a jade box from the ring space.

"Daddy, look. ”

Ling Xiao said excitedly as he opened the jade box.

A crystal clear, but also exuding a trace of cold snow ice lotus came into view, the eyes were slightly red in the early morning, and the eyes were a little warm.

was so excited that he was a little incoherent, but he just kept saying, "Okay, okay, Xiao'er, you've grown up, and you can solve problems for your father!"

Ling Xiao's eyes were also a little red when he heard his father's words, and then he scratched his head like a child and looked at the people who got out of the car on the side.

"Dad, this time it's really thanks to Brother Qi and my friends. Also, there are those who sacrificed. ”

The City Lord Ling straightened up and looked at these people, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted solemnly.

"Ling thanked everyone for their help this time, everyone is tired of running around today, so let's rest in the house for the time being. In the evening, Ling was preparing a sumptuous dinner for everyone. ”

Turning his head, he instructed the old housekeeper, "Those who sacrificed, Lao Ling, remember to give a large amount of condolences to their families." I must help them all find a guy who can live in the future, this time, it is my Ling family who owes them. ”

Then he made a gesture of invitation to the group. The Ye family followed the old housekeeper to the guest room to rest, and Ye Qi followed the Ling family's father and son to the room of the Ling City Lord's wife.

The father and son of the Ling family did seem extremely excited, and the two kept muttering in front.

"Dad, how is my mother after so long?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. Although he didn't wake up, his complexion gradually became ruddy, and it was really thanks to the pill of the Seventh Prince!"

As he spoke, he turned around and glanced at Ye Qi behind him, "Seventh Prince, my wife and I are childhood sweethearts, and the couple have a deep relationship, this time, you saved my wife's life, even if you saved our entire Ling family." In the future, as long as you say a word, my Ling family will definitely do everything. ”

The corners of Yeqi's mouth hooked slightly, and he smiled lightly.

"Thank you City Lord Ling, though, it's just a gesture for me. ”

"No, no, no, Seventh Prince. Although this is just a gesture for you, it is a great kindness to my Ling family. City Lord Ling said solemnly.

"What I Ling said has never been child's play. ”

Ling Xiao on the side also said, "Yes, Seventh Brother, you are my Seventh Brother, what do you need to be polite between our brothers." ”

"Lingcheng Lord ......"

"The seventh prince doesn't have to be so polite. My family Xiao'er calls you Seventh Brother, then we will be a family from now on, you don't have to call me Ling City Lord, just call me Uncle Ling. ”

Yeqi smiled, and a trace of warmth slipped through his heart.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Uncle Ling. ”
