Bai Xiu shuddered, and was about to investigate further, when the rapid sound of rustling suddenly sounded in the orchard not far away, and it seemed that two people were chasing back and forth.

His heart moved, and he chased after him, but as soon as he arrived nearby, he saw a person lying motionless under a tree.

Bai Xiu hurriedly stretched out his hand and pushed: "Wake up......"

However, Lao Tu didn't react, which made his heart that he had finally let go of rise again, and he was in shock, when the sound of footsteps behind him was gradually approaching, and he looked back to see that a figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar had become clear from blur.

It was someone he had never expected to meet here again—her figure had risen a lot, her originally round face had become angular, and her eyes were still beautiful, but they had a little more mature charm.

Twenty-six-year-old Wen Lang.

"Brother Bai Xiu. She smiled sweetly at first, and then shook her head with some regret, "The person who took this little brother ran into the woods, and I can't catch up." ”

Bai Xiu reluctantly got out of his memories: "Have you ever met with him?"

"I didn't see him, he had a mask on his face. Wen Lang still shook his head, then looked at him curiously, and sneered, "You are younger than me now, do I want to call you Brother Bai Xiu?"

Bai Xiu laughed for a while, and couldn't help patting her head, Wen Lang hurriedly let go, and begged for mercy while checking the situation of Lao Tu: "Brother Bai Xiu, my daughters are two or three years old, and you still treat me as a child!"

"Yes, it's been ten years. ”

"Yes, time flies so fast, thinking about that period of time, it seems that it is still in front of me, speaking of which, I used to want to marry Brother Bai Xiu, who knew that I finally met my family...... As for Brother Bai Xiu, he should already have someone he likes, right?"

She just asked casually, not intending to get a definite answer, and after a while stood up and said, "This little brother is probably accidentally tricked, and he should be able to wake up by pouring some cold water." ”

Bai Xiu came back to her senses and watched her take a handful of water from a nearby faucet with great interest, and poured it all on Lao Tu's face with a backhand.

Lao Tu sighed in his sleep, and the next second he woke up, he sat up, he was almost unable to open his eyes because of the water, and he was about to scold when he opened his mouth, but fortunately he saw the person in front of him clearly in the next second: "Girl, who are you, why did you come to our room?"

"It's a shame that Wen Lang stays outside, otherwise something will happen to you. ”

When Bai Xiu said this, Lao Tu was dumbfounded: "Lao Tzu has been walking the rivers and lakes for more than 70 years, and he actually overturned the boat in the gutter...... Damn, don't let me catch him!"

Wen Lang immediately recognized him: "What are you the 'Jade Face Divine Power'?"

Lao Tu couldn't hear others call him by his real name, so he waved his hand and smiled: "It's good to call me Lao Tu, thank you so much for saving my life!"

Bai Xiu pondered: "It's strange, who are they, and why did they kidnap you...... Is it revenge, or is it related to the Celestial Star Society?"

Lao Tu grinned: "It must be the latter, after all, my worth is not cheap now, it's not strange that someone wants to kidnap me!"

Wen Lang was confused when she heard this, Bai Xiu said this, and simply told her the truth, and then she suddenly spoke: "It turns out that you are also investigating the affairs of the Heavenly Star Society......"

Bai Xiu was already surprised by the purpose of her trip, and asked her curiously: "Have the minions of the Heavenly Star Society reached out to Dizhuang?"

"To be precise, they have already threatened the entire cultivation world, and this time it was not only me, but other families and sects have sent people over. Wen Lang straightened his face.

"Daochang Zhang of Tianjing Peak, Steward Zhou of Furong Pavilion, Mr. Su of Cuiying Building, Teacher Liuxue Sect Shi, Brother Nandou Xuanluo, and other cultivators, sects, and family members, everyone is united, and they all say that this trip is bound to completely eradicate this cult force. ”

She smiled embarrassedly again: "They have already disguised themselves into the mountain, I delayed for a day so I came late, but I met the thief as soon as I arrived here, and I was in a hurry." ”

Bai Xiu secretly thought in his heart that the cultivation world had really started to do it, but the backbone of this operation was actually the six factions of Shenzhou, which was a bit unexpected to him.

But it makes sense to think about it.

The Ming family is not prosperous, and after they returned to Mingyue Island ten years ago, they rarely ask about the world; the Fang family has become notorious for the fact that they have been robbed of life, Fang Chengying has retreated and cultivated, although Fang Jin has Fang Ling's assistance, it is difficult to support it alone; as for the Bai family, it will be the patriarchal election every five years, and the internal fighting of the six sects is heating up, so naturally there is no time to take care of anything else.

It seems that even if there is no Heavenly Star Society, this cultivation world will change the sky.

However, there is one thing that he thinks is a little strange, it stands to reason that the Jiang family and Yingzhou should take this opportunity to get a piece of the pie......

A flash of inspiration flashed through him, and he thought of a possibility.

Since Xie Ningyun participated in the Spirit Descent Festival, as his friend, how could Jiang Yin not know about the Heavenly Star Society, maybe Tianjiao and Yingzhou had already hooked up with the Heavenly Star Society, and the latter was so arrogant, it was because of their strong support.

Trouble......

The Celestial Star Society has eyes and ears all over the world, and there are even Tianjiao and Yingzhou, plus this is their lair, it is impossible not to find that the cultivation world is menacing, but seeing that everyone in the meeting is not vigilant, this Spirit Descent Festival is not a trap?

After thinking about it, he told the two of them his guess, but looked at Wen Lang: "How many people from the major families and sects have come this time?"

"The number of people is not very large, Brother Bai Xiu, you also know that in order not to cause panic among ordinary people, we can't engage in crowd tactics like the Tianxing Club for the time being. ”

Wen Lang spread his hands regretfully, and then smiled, "But don't worry, we have similar concerns, and we have already sent people to closely monitor the Jiang family and Yingzhou." ”

Lao Tu smiled: "Don't worry about it, if there is really any problem, there will naturally be other families and sects, otherwise there will be our special event team!"

Bai Xiu understood that they had already had a countermeasure, and they were just waiting for the best opportunity to uproot the forces of the Heavenly Star Society in one fell swoop.

However, Lao Tu's smile became more and more intriguing, and Bai Xiu knew his character well, and asked, "Could it be that the special events team has another trick?"

Lao Tu probably waited for him to ask, and immediately said mysteriously: "We have invited an extremely special sect to participate in this operation, and they will become the secret weapon of cultivators against the Heavenly Star Society. ”

Wen Lang became curious: "What special sect?"

Lao Tu waved his finger inscrutablely: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”

"Can't say it?" If it weren't for Wen Lang's well-behaved personality, he would probably roll his eyes at him like Xiang Yunsheng.

Bai Xiu knows Lao Tu's personality very well, although this guy is usually a little out of tune, but his tone is very strict at the critical moment, if he doesn't want to say, they probably won't find any news, so he signaled that she doesn't have to waste her strength to continue to ask.

Of course, this is not necessarily a matter of getting to the bottom of the matter, after all, they share the same goal as the Special Events Team, and the more help the Special Events Team can seek, the more likely they will be against the Celestial Star Society and the forces behind it.

The three of them chatted a few more words, and seeing that the night was past three watches, Lao Tu enthusiastically proposed: "Miss Wen has just arrived at the furnace camp, and she shouldn't have found a place to live yet, right?" Why don't you sleep in our room, and Bai Xiu and I will go to the roof to make a bunk?"

Wen Lang hurriedly shook his head: "No, there are people from the Tianxing Society here, I'm afraid of a flaw, so I'll go up the mountain overnight for a while." ”

"Then how can it be done, Shangling Dingfeng still has to go a long way, you are a girl who can rest assured, you should stay and wait for tomorrow morning to set off together!"

Lao Tu whispered, "In addition to the Celestial Star Society, there are other people in this guest house who have entered the mountain, so you just pretend that you are going to explore, absolutely no problem." ”

Seeing that Wen Lang was still embarrassed, he secretly pushed Bai Xiu: "You have something to say, such a gentle and lovely girl, you let her enter the mountain alone?"

Bai Xiu was speechless for a while, this old figure is still like a hairy boy when he is old, and he can't move his steps when he sees a beautiful girl.

However, he was also thinking about this problem, the situation in the mountains was complicated, Wen Lang going to Lingding Peak alone would attract the attention of the Heavenly Star Society, and then startle the snake, it was better to let her go with Xiang Yunsheng and them, with the big goal of Xie Ningyun, it would not be too eye-catching.

"It's okay, we also have friends mixed in with those people, and you all have a good idea together. ”

As soon as he said this, Wen Lang had to nod: "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Bai Xiu." ”

Bai Xiu looked at the quiet guest house building and gestured to the old picture: "Let's go find Yun Sheng and Xun Fang now, first, we can find a place for Wen Lang to rest, and second, there is a reason for her to mix in Xie Ningyun's team tomorrow morning." ”

Lao Tu nodded again and again, and the two led her to the first floor of the guest house, and then knocked on the door of 104 gently.

Xiang Yunsheng and Xun Fang are cultivators, and the other has been wandering outside since childhood, so naturally they won't sleep so deeply when they go out, and when they heard that it was the signal they had agreed, they hurriedly opened the door.

Somehow, Bai Xiu suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, it seemed to be about the footsteps before, but when he thought about it, it was difficult to catch that flash of aura.

And Xiang Yunsheng and the others also saw Wen Lang, and they both cast inquiring eyes, he temporarily retracted his mind, whispered the matter, and finally said: "If you talk about the inconvenience, Wen Lang will trouble you to take care of it for the time being." ”

Wen Lang retorted in a low voice: "Brother Bai Xiu, I'm twenty-six years old, and I'm no longer the little girl who wanted you to climb the tower on your back......"

Bai Xiu couldn't help but smile: "It's my fault, then Yunsheng and they will ask you." ”

As soon as he spoke, Xiang Yunsheng's face became gloomy like a cloud, and Lao Tu reacted at this time, glancing at Bai Xiu again and again, and at the same time snorted haha: "Hey, it's so late...... Three beauties, see you tomorrow!"

Of course, Bai Xiu knew what Lao Tu meant, but he didn't want to explain, so he only said: "You pay attention to safety and act tomorrow." ”

The two finally returned to the room, and Lao Tu turned in a circle vigorously: "It's over, it's over, why didn't I think of this stubble, Xiang Yunsheng's vinegar jar is afraid that it will explode......"

Bai Xiu felt quite helpless, no matter how many times he talked about him and Xiang Yunsheng, after a while, these people were like a machine, and they pushed them together as usual wishful thinking, even if he didn't care, he would be more or less emotional in his heart.

"Don't make this kind of joke in the future, it's really impossible for me to be with Yun Sheng, it's okay to joke with me, but she is standing on the edge of the cliff, as a friend, not only do you not pull her, but also push her down, which is not appropriate. ”

Lao Tu had never seen such a big fire in Bai Xiufa, and he was a little speechless.

But he is also a good-looking person, and said with a cold face: "In the end, the relationship is a matter of the two of you, it doesn't matter how we interfere, if you really don't want her to be with you, don't give her hope, okay, it's interesting to hang her?"

"I've explicitly rejected her, and she just can't let go of it for a while. Bai Xiu didn't know what to say.

Lao Tu crossed his arms and smiled playfully: "Then why did you promise her to come to Lingding Peak with us?"

"You also know the situation of Linlang Hotel, I just can't rest assured, this has nothing to do with her identity, and her feelings for me, for me she and Xun Fang are essentially the same, both my friend and the person I need to protect. ”

There was a soft thud and the door of the room was suddenly shut, as if a gust of wind had blown it, and then a familiar sound of footsteps rang out in the doorway from near and far.

Lao Tu was excited: "I didn't seem to lock the door just now, Xiang Yunsheng won't hear it......"

"It doesn't matter if you hear it, it was meant for her. Bai Xiu got up and turned off the light, "Go to sleep." ”

In the dark, Lao Tu sighed: "You just continue to deceive yourself, one day you will regret it...... It's a pity to lose feelings and people, but no matter what, you have to cherish the people in front of you!"

Bai Xiu slowly closed his eyes, and drowsiness followed, but a voice kept echoing in his head-

The person who lost was not the person in front of him, but he didn't protect it well, so he must not betray his relationship with Fang Xin, let alone let Xiang Yunsheng become the next Fang Xin.
