Mingyue looked at Gu Zhirong in a daze, speechless.

Since Miss Seven's accident last year, her own young lady has been indifferent, able to eat and sleep, as if she is an outsider, but they have shed a few tears for Miss Seven. Later, the people in the house had a discussion, saying that Miss Seventh was a hard-hearted person, and the relationship with Miss Seven in the house was relatively good, but she didn't shed a tear about Miss Seven's death.

Until today, she didn't know that in fact, her own young lady did much more for Miss Seven.

"Miss......" Mingyue couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt rising in her heart.

In the days after Miss Seven went, although the mansion was not allowed to discuss this matter, it was already boiling underneath. The big mansion is like this, the one who prefers the high and the low, first condemns Miss Seven, then sympathizes, and finally I don't know who led public opinion, and actually pointed the finger at Gu Zhirong, saying that she has no pity, is cold-blooded and ruthless, and it is in vain that Miss Seven is so good to her.

After listening to it a lot, Mingyue was also a little shaken, from her own young lady's ruthlessness to Miss Seven, to her humble status as a slave. My own young lady can't even take care of her own good sisters, how can she maintain these lowly maids in the future?

"Miss, I'm sorry, I, I ......" Mingyue was full of remorse and didn't dare to look at Gu Zhirong.

"Mingyue, it's okay. Gu Zhirong patted Mingyue's shoulder and said comfortingly, "It's all over." ”

Turning around, she walked to the window lattice and stood still, the sky was full of light, shrouding her figure in a patch of orange, soft and quiet.

"Mingyue, you have to remember. Gu Zhirong's words came over, word by word, extremely clear, "No matter when and where, you, Cai Qing, Green Water, Jade Cicada, and Snow Goose, are my closest relatives in this world, and I will do my best to maintain your integrity, and I will never let anyone hurt you." ”

Obviously stunned to look at the figure shining with orange light on the windowsill, only to feel a wave of heat rushing into his eyes, and in the hazy tears, he saw that the pretty figure was dazzling under the sunset in the sky.

In the evening, Hangji Temple.

The evening breeze is cool and the ancient temple is dive, and the incense is swirling into the clouds. At this time, the quiet smell of sandalwood still floats in the air. On the cloud platform behind the temple, the huge umbrella handle of the thousand-year-old ginkgo biloba is wrapped in layers of countless red ribbons for blessings, which are impermeable. Further up, the trunk of the tree divides into more than a dozen branches, which are umbrella-shaped and pierce the sky.

At this time, standing under the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, is a majestic figure, the white wide-sleeved robe raised with the wind, derived from an elegant state. The knife-like face, the sharp and cold eyes of the eagle falcon, and the little glow cast through the gaps in the leaves made the coldness on his body dissipate a little, this man was so handsome that it was almost chilling.

There was a faint sound of footsteps on the long stone steps under the gimbal.

Qin Lu on the side reacted suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Young master, someone is here." ”

There was no trace of surprise on the handsome face of the young man who was called, he picked a green ginkgo leaf, sandwiched it between his slender fingers and played with it carelessly, without raising his head, and said, "It's Ding Lingling, bring her to see this seat." ”

"Yes. Qin Lu responded, and jumped off the gimbal.

After a while, a girl with a round face and big eyes followed Qin Road to the gimbal. This girl is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty face, a cloud-colored spring pomegranate skirt with narrow sleeves, willow green leaves and Chen color armor, a silk and jasper belt tied around her waist, a black green silk simple double bun, and no ornaments, but she looks even more heroic and radiant.

"Lingling, you just turned back from Yuedi yesterday, and today you went straight to Xuanji Temple to find this seat, there is a very urgent matter?" The young master stopped the ginkgo biloba leaf that was turning in his hand, and when he raised his eyes slightly, it seemed that countless stars had fallen into his deep eyes, shining brightly. And the slightly low voice is clearly a little lazy, but it has the aggressive momentum of the superior.

"Yes, young master, there is a very urgent matter, and my subordinates think that the young master may want to know. Ding Lingling looked solemn, took out a note, and handed it to the man with both hands.

The man abandoned the ginkgo biloba leaves, spread out the note, swept his eyes, and knew everything in the note, and his voice was a little surprised: "The fifth girl of the Gu Mansion?"

"Yes. Ding Ling Ling said, "It was a year ago in the Bibo Lake on the side of the Tianzen Mountain, the young master ordered to save the girl, and then the girl was grateful to her subordinates for helping, so she and her subordinates formed a good relationship with Jinlan, and they were commensurate with sisters. ”

"Oh?" the man straightened his chest, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, and a smile poured out, with a hint of playfulness: "She needs help too?"

In his heavy eyes, his thoughts drifted back to a year ago.

A year ago, on the edge of the blue wave pool of Tianding Mountain, a group of masked black-clothed men armed with steel knives surrounded a small sedan chair in Tsing Yi, killed the sedan chair driver, and forced the Gu Fu girl on the sedan chair to get off the sedan chair. The eleven or twelve-year-old girl from Gufu brought several maids with her face pale with fright and trembling, and the little girl from Gufu was also panicked, clutching the corners of her skirt tightly with both hands, wanting to run but not daring to run.

She was crying incessantly, begging the bandits to spare her maids and leave her alone.

At that time, he happened to be passing by there, and he was very curious about the strange behavior of the young lady Gu Fu who "sacrificed herself to save others", so he asked his subordinate Ding Lingling to solve those bandits, save them, and escort them all the way back to Gu Mansion.

And just as he turned to leave the Tianzen Mountain, the wind suddenly rose, and he smelled the smell of the seven-step life-killing grass in the wind, and when he was angry, he suddenly remembered the frightened face of the Gu Mansion.

That little face, the first appearance of the peerless face, under the panicked look, concealed the quiet eyes, intelligent, cunning, with a little pride in the world.

He finally understood that the powder of the Seven Steps Deadly Grass was what she had dispersed into the air.

Her weeping, her pleading, were just waiting for the right moment, for the wind to blow from the mountain pass.

At the mountain pass, a patch of Jiuzhu Soul Returning Grass is blooming with small pale yellow flowers, dense and turned, like a field of rape flowers.

The Nine Beads Soul Restoration Grass and the Seven-Step Death Killing Grass are mortal enemies, as long as there is a little pollen of the Nine Beads Soul Restoration Grass floating in the air, the powder that collides with the Seven Steps Death Killing Grass is a deadly poison, and it is fatal without seven steps.

The young lady of the Gu family intended to dismiss the maid ring, perhaps she had lifted her skirt and planned to lure the gangsters to the mountain pass and poison them all.

That's why there is such a little pride in her eyes.

So after he sent someone to save her, she lowered her head and pursed her lips, perhaps laughing at his excessive behavior.

He was furious, so he remembered the name: Miss Gu Family. And let Ding Lingling pay attention to this person, and if there is any news about this cunning little fox, report it to him immediately.

Even Ding Lingling was surprised that he had always been indifferent, but he was ignorant of the attention of a little girl he didn't know.

In fact, why doesn't he have his own reasons for paying attention to her?

The Nine-Bead Resurrection Grass pollen mixed with the Seven-Step Death Grass can kill people, which is the unique secret of a profound medical monk in Yuedi, and this medical monk has never accepted an apprentice for life, only a close friend, that is, the abbot of Xuanji Temple, Mingkong.

How could the unique secret of the monk be mastered by a little girl and used it so skillfully?

He sneered slightly: Master Mingkong, you have accepted a good apprentice.
