Lin Xiaoice hurriedly got up to greet him, Bai Xiu followed him out of the wooden building, and sure enough, he saw two figures pushing the door and walking in.

Among them, the older forty-somethings have Danfeng eyes, hooked nose, a short beard on the chin, and a very tall figure, which should be Lin Xiaoice's master Hu Jingzhong.

The other person was younger than Lin Xiaoice, tall and thin, and went to the well on the side to wash his face without lifting his head when he entered the door.

Don't look at Hu Jingzhong's majestic appearance, but his personality is very easy-going, seeing Lin Xiaoice, he couldn't help but smile: "Xiaoice, you haven't been back for a long time, ask your senior brother to fry a few good dishes at night and accompany the master to drink a few cups." ”

They waited for an afternoon and didn't leave, Chu Lin was not stupid, so he naturally knew that the two of them had something important to solve Hu Jingzhong, so he thoughtfully handed over the words: "Master, Senior Brother Lin has been waiting for you all afternoon, and I don't know what is going on with him." ”

When Hu Jingzhong heard this, he immediately looked at Lin Xiaoice, and then glanced at Bai Xiu and Qu Li.

And at this glance, his expression changed suddenly, and he turned his head to Chu Lin and said, "Ah Lin, you and Xiao Nian go to prepare dinner, I haven't seen you Senior Brother Lin for a long time, let's talk for a while." ”

As he spoke, he withdrew his gaze and took the lead into the small wooden building.

Bai Xiu felt something, and when he walked back, he whispered to Lin Xiaoice, "Your master...... It seems to have recognized who I am. ”

Lin Xiaoice also saw a little sign, but he still comforted: "Don't worry, we will explain everything to Master, he will definitely not speculate about you like others." ”

Bai Xiu was not convinced by these words, and Hu Jingzhong's reaction made him think of a possibility.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Xiaoice offered tea flatteringly, and he turned his head to Bai Xiu and spoke: "Master, I have something I want to tell you......

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Jingzhong's raised hand, he lowered his head, as if he was settled, just when Lin Xiaoice was about to lose his breath, he suddenly spoke: "Xiaoice, do you remember your ancestor?"

Lin Xiaoice was stunned, although he didn't know his intention in asking this question, he still answered obediently: "Of course, I remember that when I was seven years old, I helped my grandmother go into the mountains to collect firewood, and when I got lost in winter, it was my ancestor who brought me back to Chang'an Cliff." ”

Hu Jingzhong took over his words: "At that time, I was very busy, not only to take care of your junior brother, but also to teach you Senior Brother Chu, I have no time to take care of you, but your ancestor treats you as his own grandson and takes you with him every day." ”

The smile in his eyes did not receive, and it turned into a sharp coldness: "But he was killed ten years ago, do you know who the murderer is?"

Lin Xiaoice's thoughts were confused, and he already realized the meaning of his words, looked back at Bai Xiu, and couldn't say a word for a while.

"That's right, he died from that incident ten years ago, and even his soul flew away. ”

Hu Jingzhong laughed mockingly, "I didn't tell you that I was afraid that you would seek revenge on this demon, as a master, I never expected you to be more filial, but I really didn't expect you to call our enemies in Chang'an Cliff brothers." ”

He raised his head, stared at Bai Xiu for a few seconds, stood up and brushed his sleeves away: "I know what you are asking for, and I also know where that person is, but even if I want my life, I won't reveal half a word." ”

"Master!"

Lin Xiaoice hurriedly stopped, "Bai Xiu has told me all about the situation back then, the reason why things developed like that is actually another twist and turn, your old man has always understood right and wrong, but listen to me in detail, and then draw conclusions!"

"I don't want to listen to his quibbles...... Hu Jingzhong squinted his eyes and sneered, "I would like to advise you one last time, don't be fooled by this devil's rhetoric, otherwise your master will not be able to find peace in the spirit of the sky." ”

Lin Xiaoice still wanted to speak, but he walked towards the door without hesitation: "I'm afraid that Chang'an Cliff can't tolerate you, a disciple and grandson who is with demons, you go down the mountain with them, don't come back in the future!"

"Master......" Lin Xiaoice couldn't help but panic when he heard this, and he was so anxious that cold sweat broke out.

Or he had expected such a situation a long time ago, Bai Xiu's heart was much calmer, and he hugged his fist at Hu Jingzhong: "Mr. Hu will have such a decision, which is the inevitable result of my evil deeds back then."

I hope Your Excellency will not blame Xiaoice, he is willing to help me because I don't know the details, the so-called ignorant ones are not to blame, and I hope not to hurt the feelings between your master and apprentice for this matter. ”

He clenched Qu Lian's hand and turned to walk out the door.

It seems that he dragged her down again, last time he didn't protect Fang Xin, this time he couldn't give Qu mercy anything.

Seeing that he was also leaving, Lin Xiaoice was suddenly busy at both ends, and finally gritted his teeth and chased out.

Behind them, Hu Jingzhong sneered: "There is only one way to get her back to normal, this way is only for that person, and he can only be found by me, so I advise you to die as soon as possible, and think more about how to pave a way for her."

After all, not everyone is as magnanimous as our Chang'an Cliff and will not want your life, but sooner or later you will meet other people who come to ask for debts...... You've been hiding for ten years, can you hide for another ten years?"

Bai Xiu paused, but he didn't know what to say, Hu Jingzhong's words were not true.

"Don't go!" Out of the courtyard gate, Lin Xiaoice grabbed him, "My master looks very strict, but in fact, his heart is very soft, I beg him more, he will definitely agree!"

"No need. Bai Xiu shook his head, "The mistakes I made should be borne by myself from beginning to end, and there is no need to involve you as well." ”

Seeing that Lin Xiaoice wanted to stop talking, he continued to persuade: "You said that you would be filial to them when you came back this time, did you forget?"

Besides, we're friends, aren't we? As friends, of course, I want you to have a good time, not to put you in a dilemma, I'm already heinous, do you want me to lose even the last righteous anger?"

"Alas!" Lin Xiaoice smiled bitterly, "I can't seem to tell you...... Forget it, let's go home first, maybe we came too suddenly, Master and his old man can't figure it out for a while, we'll come back tomorrow. ”

Bai Xiu nodded perfunctorily, and went down the mountain with him, it was already late when he returned to Chang'an Town, Grandma Lin was very distressed, and hurriedly helped them warm the meal and serve it to the table.

During the meal, Bai Xiu put forward his plan: "Xiaoice, I'll leave after eating, you leave a phone number for me, and I will have something to contact in the future." ”

Lin Xiaoice's action of serving the meal paused, and frowned: "The pity is not urgent, even if the master refuses to help, you must slowly find a way and stay for a few days first." ”

Bai Xiu smiled and stopped talking, Lin Xiaoice didn't get along with him for a long time, but he knew that he was a very assertive person, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, since you have made up your mind, then I respect your decision, but I also hope that you will remember that I am your friend, and if you are a friend, you are willing to help you share it, and you can discuss anything with me. ”

Bai Xiu was grateful in his heart, he now finally knew why Lin Xiaoice could lie dormant for four years, do all this for the camp step by step, and avenge Zhou Tangrui - Lin Xiaoice is indeed a person who values love and righteousness.

After dinner, Bai Xiu said goodbye to Lin Xiaoice and Grandma Lin, she warmly invited Bai Xiu to come back to play after a while, looking at her kind face, Bai Xiu secretly rejoiced that she finally made a correct decision.

Lin Xiaoice sent them to the entrance of the town, and even though he took Qu Li to the car, he still stood under the stop sign and did not leave.

Seeing that figure getting farther and farther away, Bai Xiu's heart became more and more calm.

He took out Tan Xiangrong's mobile phone, pressed the power button, and soon the screen lit up - not only was it not lost, but it was not even damaged at all, which was really a blessing in misfortune.

After a few seconds, the screen returned to the main interface, Bai Xiu clicked into the dial pad, and after a little hesitation, he dialed a number.

rang, the other side was connected, and Bai Yan's surprised voice instantly came out of the mobile phone: "Zheng Ruyi, are you still alive?"

Such a simple sentence made Bai Xiu lose his mind, and then he reacted, and his heart became more and more shocked.

Tan Xiangrong's mobile phone is Zheng Ruyi's number!

What is the connection between them? Or what secret is hidden by this mobile phone number, Zheng Ruyi wants to give it to Tan Xiangrong? And will Tan Xiangrong lose his life because of it?

"Hello?"

Bai Yan's urging made him have a certain idea in his heart - maybe he could ask her about something in the name of Zheng Ruyi, anyway, they even had the same voice, and they were not afraid of revealing flaws.

He had a feeling before that Bai Yan would hide a lot of things from him, but not from Zheng Ruyi.

Thinking like this, he tried to calm his breathing, adjusted his tone slightly, and suddenly said, "Yes, I'm still alive." ”

He knew that he had to talk as little as possible, otherwise with Bai Yan's acumen, she would definitely see through his tricks.

But as he said that, they fell silent.

Just when Bai Xiu didn't know what to use as a breakthrough to inquire about Bai Yan's news, Bai Yan spoke.

"Heh, you really hide a lot of strength, I know that you can't be so easy to be planted in the hands of others...... Okay, you're definitely not looking for me to catch up, just say something. ”

Bai Xiu didn't know how much information she and Zheng Ruyi had shared, so she could only test her head-on: "That plan seems to be about to be interrupted." ”

Bai Yan obviously didn't expect him to mention this, and only said after a while: "I've been busy with the Bai family's affairs recently, and I've relaxed the monitoring over there a lot......

They're finally fighting? As you can see, who has a better chance of winning? I've heard a lot of news, and a lot of people are waiting, and I'm afraid that these walls won't be able to determine their position until they actually fight. ”

Watching?

Bai Xiu suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

Yu Tian was actually not hated by the cultivation world as she had told him before, otherwise even if some people chose them because they were profitable, they would not have spread such news, lest they would have been targeted by the public before they had found a backer.

The doubts that have always arisen can't help but arise, what kind of existence are these organizations, and why did Bai Yan "mislead" him?

"What about you?"

"Are you really going to do that?"

"It seems that you all think that I am a person who will do whatever it takes for profit. Bai Yan smiled contemptuously, "Indeed, I let Bai Xiu be my abandoned son before, but I don't need you to question my feelings for him." ”

Bai Xiu keenly grasped the word - "you", who else is she secretly connected with?

With that little bit of inspiration, he suddenly thought of a possibility, why was Bai Yan so sure that Zheng Ruyi would escape the organization's investigation, could it be that the murderer who killed Zheng Ruyi was also someone she knew?
