Listening to Ming Chuan's words, Sun Yanli's face showed a wry smile, not so much laughing, it looked like crying.

"Xiaoyue is the only daughter of me and An Chang, and it is also my lifeline, if something really happens to her, then I ......" Sun Yanli thought of her daughter, and her emotions became a little excited.

"I know Xiaoyue is important to you. Ming Chuan said comfortingly, "So I think this matter really has nothing to do with you." Just ......"

Ming Chuan paused, raised his eyelids and looked directly at Sun Yanli, his sharp gaze had a momentum that could not be escaped by the other party.

"You should know something. Ming Chuan's words were not in a questioning tone, and his eyes looked very bright in the moonlight.

Sun Yanli was stunned, her mouth moved like a slur, as if she wanted to say something, hesitated again and again, and finally sighed as if she had made up her mind, and said, "If I say I don't know anything, you won't believe it." ”

Ming Chuan didn't answer, but his expression already showed what he thought.

"Even if I know something, why should I tell you?" Sun Yanli clasped her hands to her chest, showing a defensive posture.

Although Sun Yanli and Gong Wancheng fell out, for Mingchuan, an outsider, she has not accepted it so easily, and it is impossible to trust him so simply and give everything out.

Of course, Ming Chuan didn't think that things would go so smoothly, seeing the other party put on such a posture, he smiled lightly and said, "There is no reason, it's just that I think that for the sake of Xiaoyue, you should distance yourself from Gong Wancheng." ”

"Even if I fall out with Gong Wancheng, it doesn't mean that I have to defect to you, right?" Sun Yanli sneered and said, "I'm not the kind of woman who can't survive without a backer, and if one of the backers falls, I have to immediately find the other." ”

"I think you're mistaken. Ming Chuan smiled and shook his head, "I don't want to be anyone's backer." "He still has a lot of problems that have not been solved, where does he have the leisure to be a backer for others?

"Oh, do you think I'll casually tell the secret to a stranger I don't know very well?" Sun Yanli held her hands on her chest, her back to the pond, and her standing posture was very tall and arrogant, as if she was maintaining her dignity, with a strong guard, and even a hint of aggression.

Mingchuan knew that this was a knee-jerk move made by Sun Yanli to protect herself.

Now Sun Yanli has just fallen out with a companion she has worked with for many years, and has just found out that her daughter is in danger, and in this situation, it is difficult for her to trust other people, especially strangers like herself.

Ming Chuan smiled casually, not at all surprised by Sun Yanli's distrust and defense, and said in a relaxed tone: "What if this 'stranger' happens to be your savior?

"What?" Sun Yanli didn't understand the meaning of Ming Chuan's words, frowning and showing a puzzled look.

Ming Chuan hooked the corners of his mouth and raised his eyebrows behind Sun Yanli.

Sun Yanli was feeling puzzled and wondering, when she suddenly heard a cold sound of water behind her, and immediately turned around.

The surface of the dark pond was calm, glowing with a little phosphorescent in the moonlight, and in this dim light, the surface of the water appeared even darker.

In this pitch darkness, a thick black shadow slowly stood up from the water, like a three-dimensional silhouette, standing straight on the water.

Sun Yanli's eyes widened, her mouth opened unconsciously, she wanted to say something, but she didn't make a sound at all.

Ming Chuan smiled and said, "Let me introduce you, this is my demon, Ying Lan." Just now I noticed that there was something in the water that seemed to have bad intentions, so I asked it to go down and explore it, and it turned out that it seemed to be coming for you, but don't worry, Shadow Lan has already dealt with it. ”

Sun Yanli twisted her head to look at Ming Chuan, a pair of phoenix eyes were wide, probably the biggest of her eyes ever.

Ming Chuan pointed at Ying Lan and motioned for Sun Yanli to greet Ying Lan.

Sun Yanli's neck turned a little stiffly, and she looked at the black shadow standing in the water again.

"Hello, I'm Yinglan, you can call me Xiaoying. Ying Lan said obediently.

Sun Yanli's reaction was to swallow her saliva, take a deep breath, and open her mouth: "Ah!!" The cry was miserable, and the volume was extremely high, like a sharp knife, it was fiercely inserted into the calm pond and stirred vigorously.

……

After Sun Yanli left, Gong Wancheng finally dealt with the people around him who were watching the excitement, sent them away, and then turned around and went back to the house in a hurry.

"This damn woman, it's really a toast and don't eat and drink!" Gong Wancheng scolded and paced back and forth in the courtyard, wanting to vent the anger he was holding back in his heart.

"What's the matter? This is?" Gong Wancheng's mother was a short woman, with a very rich figure, and although her clothes looked very luxurious, her skin was dark and rough, and she was obviously accustomed to working all year round and lacked maintenance. She had been staying in the house, and of course she heard the movement outside, and only then did she come out when the commotion had subsided.

"It's none of your business, let's go into the house and rest. Gong Wancheng's attitude towards his mother was not very respectful, and he waved his hand at the old man as if he was sending his subordinates.

The old man moved his mouth to persuade a few words, but after seeing Gong Wancheng's impatient face, he closed his mouth, muttered a few words, and turned back to the room.

Gong Wancheng angrily went back and forth in the courtyard a few times, and after venting, he returned to the house, went directly to the second floor, walked to the end of the room and went in.

The room was about ten square meters, and there was no furniture in it, and there were no windows except for a door, only a chandelier hung in the center of the ceiling overhead, which was said to be a chandelier, but in fact it was a wire hanging down and an incandescent bulb at the end.

Turn on the power, and the dim light flickers back and forth with the light bulb, illuminating the empty room, and the white walls are also glowing yellow under the reflection of the light.

Unlike empty rooms, these white walls are not empty, but are painted with a variety of patterns. If Mingchuan was here, he could tell at a glance that these patterns were depicting a magic circle, and this magic circle was working.

There are no artifacts, and the magic circle formed completely by drawing it can be seen that the level of the person who laid this magic circle is extremely high.
