"W-What's going on?...... you!?"

Jiang Yao, who was pulled into the air, was suddenly startled, and subconsciously wanted to struggle, but the light rope wrapped around his waist suddenly pulled backwards at this time, and Jiang Yao, who couldn't help himself, suddenly flew upside down, and flew onto the roof of a building on the left with a "whoosh", and crashed into the arms of a thin figure.

"Shhhh ”

A familiar voice came into his ears with his breathing, and the frightened Jiang Yao turned his head to look, and was surprised to find that he was followed by the waiter brother who had entertained him in the "Shadow Bar" before, and at this time, the little brother was staring at the group of figures coming below with a serious expression, and pulled Jiang Yao to quickly hide behind a chimney on the roof.

"What about people?"

"It's strange, you're still here......

The figure stopped at the entrance of the alley, looking left and right in front of the bar, as if puzzled by the sudden disappearance of the target.

"Speaking of which, a demonic wind suddenly blew just now, could it be that the half-demon used some evil spell to make a move to leave the mountain?"

"Okay...... Dare to calculate Lao Tzu! When Lao Tzu catches him, he will not have to pick his skin!'

"But Boss, now that half-demon should have run away, so let's ......?"

"What else can I do?

……

The people who came to their senses beat their chests and feet, but they were helpless, so they could only leave the alley with a scolding and scattered. Seeing that the crisis was lifted, Jiang Yao's nerves finally relaxed slightly, but he quickly remembered something, and quickly broke free from the arm of the waiter next to him holding him, and vigilantly pulled away a distance.

"Ouch, what are you nervous about, do you think I'm going to hurt you because you made trouble in the bar before?"

The waiter's little brother smiled, raised his hand and put the pale yellow light cord wrapped around Jiang Yao's waist into his palm. "You, you still like to cause trouble everywhere, I'm really convinced. ”

"Are you ......?"

Jiang Yao looked at the waiter brother in front of him in surprise, and then looked down at the familiar pale yellow light cord in the other party's hand, and a look of disbelief suddenly appeared on his face.

"You...... Could it be ......!"

"Hehe~ Long time no see, do you miss me?"

The waiter chuckled and reached out to brush his face gently. With a flicker of magical light, the disguised human skin mask was removed, revealing the thin face that Jiang Yao had been thinking about for a long time, as well as the beautiful and bewitching gold and silver eyes.

"Road...... Lu Xingyue!?"

Seeing the old man he hadn't seen for a long time suddenly appear in front of him, Jiang Yao was overjoyed. Since the original farewell to the Netherworld, Jiang Yao has never been able to get the whereabouts of Lu Xingyue, although he also tried to investigate, but later it was delayed because of the Changyou Mountain incident. And now that they are reunited here, Jiang Yao is really surprised and delighted.

"Why are you here?Where have you been these days??" Jiang Yao hurriedly asked.

"Well, it's a long story. Lu Xingyue spread her hands and looked helpless on her face. "After returning to the Earth Realm, I have been cultivating for a while, after all, the injuries I suffered in the Netherworld were not light, but now they are all fine~"

"Are they all healed?"

"Of course. Lu Xingyue smiled, as if she was afraid that Jiang Yao would not believe it, and deliberately waved her arm. "I originally wanted to come to you after my injury was healed, but I found that you were protected by the people of the 'Spirit Terrace', and it is not convenient for me to have too much contact with you as a Jianghu, so I ...... I decided to go it alone. ”

"'Acting alone'?" Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingyue's face that gradually calmed down, and immediately realized something. "You...... Isn't it also investigating the whereabouts of the Soul Stone?"

"That's right. ”

At the mention of the Soul Suppression Stone, the smile on Lu Xingyue's face gradually faded. He lowered his head and took out a simple and small special compass from his arms, which Jiang Yao recognized at a glance, it was the relic that the Blue Bird had left to Lu Xingyue - the Star Swirl Disk.

"At the beginning, my father-in-law was bewitched by others, and committed a sin with a soul suppression stone, and in the end, he was killed by the other party, leaving only a wisp of Yuan Shen ......"

Lu Xingyue looked at the pointer pointing to the east on the Star Swirl Disk, and the gold and silver eyes were not only filled with sadness, but also with a certain irrepressible anger.

"That black hand has been hiding behind the scenes, constantly manipulating the Soul Stone to harm people everywhere, but I ...... I will never allow my father-in-law's tragedy to happen again! And to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, the Soul Stone is the only clue. ”

"So, you deliberately came to the 'Shadow Bar' in the guise of a waiter, just to find out the whereabouts of the Soul Suppression Stone?" Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingyue's disguised waiter costume, and immediately understood his intentions.

"Hmm...... Let's just say that. I didn't expect you to be here, though, so when I saw you in the bar, it really scared me. Lu Xingyue said, put away the Star Swirl Disk in her hand, and looked up at Jiang Yao. "I guess you're here for the same reason I do, right?"

"I'm here because of a mistake...... That's not the point, though. Jiang Yao paused, and suddenly changed his words. "I just got the news that this year's 'Ghost Market' in the capital will auction the Soul Stone!"

"Well, I already know. Lu Xingyue nodded and said, not seeming surprised. "In fact, the world of 'underground rivers and lakes' has already spread, but this year's 'ghost market' not only needs to have a 'ghost market invitation', but also needs to pass some 'test' before you can participate. ”

"Regardless of the 'test' or whatever, the 'ghost market invitation' is first and foremost the threshold. Actually, I originally had an invitation, but it's a pity that ......" Thinking of the precious invitation that was taken away by "nothing", Jiang Yao's face couldn't help but become a little complicated.

"Hehe, it's just a 'ghost market invitation', a trivial matter~"

Compared with Jiang Yao's miserable appearance, Lu Xingyue looked relaxed. I saw that he took out two black cards from his body and shook them in front of Jiang Yao.

"Look, what is this?"

"This is ...... 'ghost market invitation'!?" Seeing the two familiar black cards in Lu Xingyue's hand, Jiang Yao's eyes lit up suddenly. "How do you have this? And it's two ......."

"Hehe~ Why do you think I deliberately dressed up like this to sneak into the 'Shadow Bar'?" Lu Xingyue said with a wicked smile. "Well, thanks to your fuss in the bar, I was able to get it smoothly~ You must know that in the recent trading market, the 'ghost market invitation' is very popular! There are not a few guys with this thing. ”

"But take someone else's invitation...... Is it really okay?"

"Don't worry, the scene was so chaotic at that time, who knows who did it. Lu Xingyue pursed her lips and said. "Besides, there are more such insidious things in the underground rivers and lakes, and the two cards in my hand are also stolen goods, which were taken from stupid boys like you. ”

"Okay......"

Seeing the invitation letter of "lost and found", a big stone in Jiang Yao's heart fell to some extent, and he didn't care how this thing came about.

"Then again, you're really bold enough to make trouble in a place like 'Shadow Bar', and if you get caught, you can't eat and walk around. Lu Xingyue shook her head, carefully put the two invitations into her arms, and muttered to Jiang Yao.

"How could I sit idly by and ignore that child when I saw that child being abused like this?" Jiang Yao muttered as he sat on the roof, looking up at the dim downtown lights in the distance.

"I didn't know who my biological father was since I was a child, and I was scolded as a 'wild seed' and bullied since I was a child. Especially after my stepfather's accident ten years ago, I was identified as a 'father murderer', and even my mother hated me...... So for a long time, I was alone. ”

Lu Xingyue glanced at Jiang Yao in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a while.

So, when I see nothing, I feel like I'm seeing my former self. But I am luckier than him, I have Master's care and protection, and he is ......"

Jiang Yao lowered his head, recalling the empty and almost numb eyes of "Wu", and his heart throbbed for no reason.

"I know my actions may be a drop in the bucket, but I can't just watch him get beaten like this and do nothing...... It has nothing to do with whether he is human or not. ”

"Alas...... I know you have a great sense of justice, but it's not necessarily a good thing for "nothing" that you're making such a fuss. Lu Xingyue sighed and said.

"Even if he escapes temporarily, how can he gain a foothold in the world of humans or demons as a human being......?

"He's not going to be with his adoptive father anymore, that's what he told me personally. Jiang Yao said seriously. "I asked him to go to a friend of mine first, and then I will find a way to persuade the 'Spirit Terrace' to give him shelter, and I will take care of him if it doesn't work, just like Master took care of me in the first place. ”

"You...... Alas, forget it. In fact, if my father-in-law hadn't picked me up from the side of the road, I probably wouldn't have stood here, so ...... If you need my help, I'm obligated to do it. Lu Xingyue smiled helplessly and stood up. "It's not an option to stay on the roof, let's get out of here. ”

As she spoke, Lu Xingyue once again pulled out the pale yellow light cord in her palm, stretched out her hand and wrapped it around the corner of the eaves on the side.

"Come, hurry up and hold on to me, I'll take you down ......"

Halfway through her words, Lu Xingyue suddenly seemed to notice something, and while her face changed, her voice became more urgent.

"Oh no! 'That guy' is coming! Hurry up, get out of ......."

"'That guy'?" Jiang Yao said in surprise. "...... you mean?"

"Oops! it's a certain 'stalker'!" Lu Xingyue was anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Yao. "I finally got rid of that guy, and if I don't leave, I'm going to get caught......"

"Who do you say is a 'stalker'?"

A whisper with a hint of dissatisfaction suddenly echoed beside the two of them, only to see that in the rising wind, a figure fell from the sky in the moonlight, looking down coldly at Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue.
