At dusk, the birds that have been predating outside are about to return to their nests, and people who have been on the road for a long day will also return to that place that makes people feel warm.

The exhausted elite disciples returned to their respective residences, washed up comfortably, and went to bed to meditate or sleep to recover the little energy they had left.

The sky is getting dark.

The chirping of insects and birds gradually disappeared, and the night became silent.

"Squeak"

Suddenly, a closed door opened silently. A figure swept out quickly, and gently closed the door.

Under the cover of night, the figure came smoothly to the outside of a bamboo house.

"Knock, knock, knock" Two short and one long knocks sounded, and in a moment, the door opened automatically.

The figure walked into the room, saw that there was no one in the hall, stood there and thought for a while, and went straight to the outside of a room. It seems to be very familiar with the structure of this building.

Before he could start knocking, the door opened before his eyes.

He was stunned for a moment, and without hesitation, he stepped into the door. In the room, there are many lights and shadows, and night pearls as big as a baby's fist are inlaid on the walls on the left and right sides.

It was a cultivation room, and it was empty, without a single piece of furniture. The only futon that existed was placed in the center of the room.

There were silver flashes of light on the floor, and if you looked closely, it turned out to be a spirit gathering formation. The center of the formation happens to be that futon. The owner of the bamboo house sat there.

The figure came to the front of the owner of the bamboo house and respectfully saluted the owner of the bamboo house.

The owner of the bamboo house injected the last trace of spiritual energy into his body, allowing it to circulate in his body for a week, turning it into his own force. Only then did he open his eyes unhurriedly.

It was a man who didn't look confused. The man has a very three-dimensional and stylish face with the power of a knife and axe. This is a handsome face that can make many girls howl wolf.

It's a handsome uncle.

The man sat on the futon and carefully looked at the person in front of him. He withdrew his gaze, his eyes closed slightly, and his chin was raised, signaling that the person in front of him could start.

The figure arched his hand, straightened up, and said in a slow voice: "The person from the Great Prince said that he saw with his own eyes that three high-level spirit beasts went to chase Jing Ce, and Xingchen Grass was taken away by a bird. The scene has been ruined by those tyrannical spirit beasts, and if nothing else, we can rest assured here. As for the ...... of Tennier The eldest prince said that when you inform them, they will do it. ”

After speaking, the figure stood quietly, waiting for the man's next instructions.

The man sat there, his eyes closed, and thought quietly for a moment.

I don't know if I thought of something, and suddenly opened those sharp eagle eyes. There was a gloom in his eyes, and his handsome face set off a ruthless and terrifying feeling. made the appearance of this face greatly discounted.

The corners of the man's mouth slowly hooked a cruel smile, and his voice came faintly: "Tomorrow, you will go and tell Tianni'er about Jing Ce's death, and then go and inform the people of the eldest prince, telling them to get the Ice Lotus Heart no matter what." As long as they hand over the Heart of the Ice Lotus to me, I promise to take the position of head of the sect and use the power of the sect to win a great cause for him. ”

The more the man talked, the more excited he became, and finally stood up directly from the futon, came to the figure, stretched out his hand and patted Xiangying's shoulder, and said with an expression that I am optimistic about you: "As long as you do this well and help me become the head of the sect, then you will be the chief senior brother of this huge sect to Qi." Of course, after that, my position as the head of the house will also be yours. ”

The man withdrew his hand and turned around, a hint of gloom quickly flashed in his eyes, and the promise in his mouth was in stark contrast to the expression at this time.

If anyone could see his expression at this time, they would know that his promise was just a flash in the pan.

It's a pity that the figure standing behind the man can't see this scene. Still there, he was looking forward to the big cake that the man casually painted for him.

This figure was originally Senior Brother Li. - Li Ming.

Li Ming received the man's promise, and happily added: "I have asked carefully, and the members of the team who followed Jing Ce happened to be the same as what the eldest prince replied to. ”

"Really...... That's fine, if it's okay, you can go down first, you must be tired too, so let's go and rest.

"Yes. ”

When Li Ming left the range of the bamboo house, the man waved his sleeves angrily, sat back on the futon, and said without slaughtering: "An unfaithful dog, when you have no value, then ...... Hmph!")〈)

The next day, early in the morning.

Tian Ni'er learned early in the morning that the elite disciples who had gone out on this mission came back, so she couldn't wait to go out to find Jing Ce, she caressed her heart with her hand, and secretly prayed that Jing Ce would return safely.

At this moment, Li Ming saw Tianni'er who had just gone out, and he immediately stepped forward to stop her.

At the same time, Tian Ni'er also recognized the person as the second-in-command of this mission, and also the second senior brother of Wannian in the sect, who has always been second only to Jing Ce, the chief senior brother-Li Ming. It was rumored in the sect that the relationship between the two was not very good, but at this time, Tianni'er didn't have the heart to know anything else, so she urgently stepped forward and asked, "Senior Brother Li, you are back, do you know where Jing Ce is now?"

Li Ming looked at the beautiful person in front of him, so attentive to his sworn enemy, and his palms slowly clenched in a place that Tiannier couldn't see. took a deep breath to suppress the jealousy in my heart.

He put on a very sad expression, and said with deep sadness: "Senior brother, he ...... In this mission, he was unfortunately hunted down by high-level spirit beasts, and his bones were gone. ”““へ(゜∇、°)へ

With a "bang", Tianni'er felt a lightning bolt explode in her brain, which made her dizzy, dizzy, and her body trembled, almost unable to stand.

She shouted hoarsely, "Impossible, impossible, you're kidding me, aren't you?"

Large tears dripped from her fair face, and the beads seemed to be able to pierce people's hearts, but there was a trace of sadness and pain in her heart.

Although Tianneer said that she didn't believe it, she already thought it was the truth in her heart.

The night before Jing Ce's departure, she put the Heart of the Ice Lotus into Jing Ce's body, which allowed her to sense whether Jing Ce was safe and save his life in times of danger.

And just now, Tian Ni'er could no longer feel the existence of the Ice Lotus Heart.

Tian Ni'er stayed there and cried bitterly, and just when Li Ming wanted to come forward to comfort her, Tian Ni'er returned to the house in despair.

Li Ming's hand stretched out in the air stopped, and his whole body was stunned. Looking at Tian Hun Er's hysteria just now, I thought I was going to be comforted, but the result was ......

"Tsk, Jing Ce, Jing Ce, the relationship between the two of you is nothing more than that. ”
