On the way back to the inn, the two were silent.

When he was about to arrive at the door of the inn, Cheng Xue suddenly stopped, and Ba Fenghan also stopped.

Cheng Xue looked in the direction of the City God Temple and had a somewhat complicated mood, and said after a while: "If we do that, will it be too cruel to them?"

They, naturally, refer to the sailors inside the temple.

"Now that it's happened, don't dwell on the consequences, if I say that 'I'm just doing this to keep more survivors alive,' and that self-deceptive nonsense like 'I'm just doing this to keep more survivors alive,' you feel more comfortable, I don't mind bothering a little more," said Bafenghan. ”

Ba Fenghan walked towards the inn, Cheng Xue looked at his back, and followed with some resentment.

During the interval of going upstairs, Ba Fenghan continued: "Actually, we know very well in our hearts that these people have no hope of surviving after being used as bait by the government, since they know that they will die, why not let them die with some value?"

At the end of the stairs, Ba Fenghan stopped and looked at Cheng Xue: "Not only for other sailors who may survive, but also for us to be able to get out of danger as soon as possible." Letting the sailors of the City God Temple disrupt the layout of the government is the safest way at the moment. ”

Cheng Xue stared into Bai Fenghan's eyes, this was the first time she had looked at the man in front of her for so long.

She slowly lowered her head and said, "You know what? Sometimes, you are so calm that people feel scared. ”

Ba Fenghan said: "Although I haven't told you, but you are such a smart girl, you actually know in your heart that the reason why the caravan was killed has nothing to do with me. ”

He continued, "I don't have the energy or ability to save the others, and all I can do before leaving Hanxiao City is to try my best to keep you alive, at least to alleviate some of the guilt in my heart." ”

Cheng Xue said softly: "I'm a little tired. ”

It's one thing to know some words, but it's another thing to actually hear them.

Although what Bai Fenghan said was not wrong, Cheng Xue felt a little empty in her heart, and she didn't understand why she felt this way.

Now she just wants to be alone for a while.

One is a smart but sentimental girl, and the other is a man who is rational to the point of being a little cold.

Neither of them said anything more.

After a while, Bai Fenghan said, "Go back to your room and rest." ”

Cheng Xue didn't say anything, just nodded, turned around and walked back to the room.

Bai Fenghan watched her close the door before walking towards the guest room opposite.

When the door was opened, the sound of two men talking and laughing came from the staircase, and Bai Fenghan's hand holding the key suddenly hung in the air, and he couldn't help but tremble.

The two voices were so familiar that he felt as if he had gone back to three years ago.

Before the owner of the voice walked to the cloister, he quickly opened the door and entered the room sideways, staring coldly at the staircase through the crack in the door.

After a while, two men in the same white power suit walked up.

As soon as they left the stairs, they turned to the south hallway and returned to their rooms.

Ba Fenghan's guest room was on the north side of the corridor, and he couldn't see the faces of the two from beginning to end, but just by his back, Ba Fenghan was sure that they were the people he was looking for.

Three years ago, because of a bet on the remnant soul of Dapeng, he poisoned his two 'good brothers', Li Xiuwen and Zhao Zetao.

Their rooms were next to each other, only three rooms away from Cheng Xue's residence.

After closing the door, Ba Fenghan has been sitting at the table and distracted, and the picture of three years ago is like pacing in the long river of time, constantly passing in his mind.

At that time, the families they belonged to were both the factions of the great general Qin Kai, and they secretly competed with each other, but they were also safe.

The three of them have been playing together since they were children, whether they are fighting or doing bad things, they have always been inseparable, and they are nicknamed the three little devils by the family elders.

It wasn't until they entered their youth and began to pay attention to their own cultivation that the days of fighting together gradually became fewer.

The qualifications of the three are still good, and among them, Ba Fenghan's cultivation has made the fastest progress, and the two of them are close behind.

Influenced by their respective families, although the three of them were still good brothers at that time, they no longer talked about everything as they did when they were young.

Three years ago, Ba Fenghan stepped into the fourth order, and on the basis of the already two beast souls, he could include one more.

The quality of the beast soul or soul determines whether a spirit person's foundation for the corresponding realm is solid or not, and even affects the progress of cultivation and the strength of the future cultivation.

At that time, it was on the eve of the Hanxiao City Fair, and this trade fair was very famous in Yan Country and even half of Beilu.

Although the Yan State was behind the operation, it was not stained with any political color, allowing merchants and casual cultivators from various countries to participate in the trade.

Precisely with the national background, both buyers and sellers are well protected during the fair.

There are only two ways to obtain the soul of the beast, buying and selling spirit stones or going to the forest to hunt the monster beast to obtain the soul.

The latter is extremely dangerous, and only mercenaries who make money with their lives and some powerful big families will choose.

With the progress of Ba Fenghan's cultivation, the family would take out a large amount of spirit stones to choose a suitable beast soul for him, but he still decided to try his luck at the trade fair first.

After talking to the two good brothers, Li Xiuwen and Zhao Zetao decided to accompany him, although the two of them were still in the third order and did not need the beast soul, they also wanted to go out for a walk.

What Ba Fenghan didn't expect was that after he picked up a shot of Dapeng's remnant soul, the two good brothers had evil thoughts, and on the way back by boat, they poisoned him and attacked him, snatched Dapeng's remnant soul, and threw him into the vast sea.

The past feels like yesterday.

Ba Fenghan slowly closed his eyes and sat straight at the table.

This sitting is the whole night.

During the period, he did not call Cheng Xue to eat, and Cheng Xue did not take the initiative to knock on the door.

The sky has just turned white, the streets are already crowded with bustling people, and today is the day of the start of the fair.

The noise of the street came into the guest room through the window, and it did not affect the night of meditation.

His eyes were still closed, but he slowly opened them as the two rooms he had been watching all night were opened.

As two footsteps sounded downstairs, his voice waned before he got up and left the room.

Ba Fenghan didn't sleep all night, always paying attention to the movement in the corridor, and naturally knew that Cheng Xue had never left the room after entering the house.

He glanced at Cheng Xue's guest room, walked over and knocked on the door.

When Cheng Xue's voice came from inside, Ba Fenghan spoke: "I have something to go out, you have to remember to eat something." ”

When Cheng Xue opened the door, Ba Fenghan had already walked out of the inn.

Cheng Xue was a little disappointed not to see the man, she closed the door, walked to the window, and looked at the courtyard below in a daze.

After Ba Fenghan left the inn, the crowd on the street was surging, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going, and Li Xiuwen and Zhao Zetao could no longer be seen.

He didn't stop and walked straight towards the trading venue.
