Under the scorching sun, the emaciated back of the young man gradually drifting away reveals deep loneliness, but bursts with firm and tenacious faith.

He has always lived like a monster, suffering from the ridicule, abuse, insults, and bullying of the world, and can only haunt the dead of night like a mouse.

He regretted coming to this world.

But he was really afraid of death, because after he died, he would never see her smile again, although he could hardly see it when he was alive, but there was always hope and opportunity, and as long as he worked harder and cultivated stronger, the greater the hope and opportunity.

So he has been desperately trying to survive, maybe God has mercy, and he really let him survive.

He wanted nothing more than to hide in the darkness and silently guard her in this sad life.

He thought that there would no longer be a scorching sun and a blue sky and white clouds in his world, but he didn't expect these two to come so quickly and suddenly, suddenly illuminating every corner of his dark world, and driving away the haze and anger hidden in the darkness. It also made his colorless world rejuvenated, and it was dazzling and gorgeous.

The young man's steps were firm and brisk, and the Luo pot on his back seemed to be lighter, making his waist much straighter.

"It's good to be alive!" the boy looked up at the scorching sun and blue sky, and his heart was infinitely emotional.

Zhang Xiaopai and the others looked at the back of the young man in the distance, their expressions were in a trance, and their hearts were confused.

Qi Rong'er was not mistaken, Yuan Taiping's feet were indeed not lame, but they clearly remembered that Yuan Taiping was lame.

Did they remember wrong? Or did Yuan Taiping pretend to be lame and confuse Bai Wuhen? Or did he heal himself with a lame foot after a fight?

The answer is unknown.

They didn't catch up and ask a clear question, because it was too rude.

The crowd gradually dispersed, Qin Rulan stood in the broken ring, looking at the open door of the Qin family, and a strong sense of loneliness suddenly hit her heart. This warm and safe haven no longer belongs to her.

She wanted to cry, but gritted her teeth and held back the tears.

She knew that from today onwards, she had to be strong and shelter herself from the elements.

"Second Miss, excuse me. A voice sounded in her ears, interrupting Qin Rulan's thoughts.

Qin Rulan looked down and found that it was Zhang Xiaopai who walked under the ring, busy sorting out her emotions, and said ashamedly: "Let you see the joke today." ”

"The second young lady is really temperamental, which makes us admire, how dare I laugh. Zhang Xiaopaw hurriedly said.

"Don't bow your head to the interests of the family, and bravely express your heart, you are really great!" Qi Yoyo gave Qin Rulan a thumbs up.

Qi Rong'er said: "Although Yuan Taiping looks a little stumbling and is indeed not worthy of you, but in order to protect you, he disregards his life and death, neither seeking wealth nor greedy power, but simply wants to protect you, which shows how important your position in his heart is." I can assure you that if you marry him, you will be very happy. As for those who don't look good, the two of them live behind closed doors, and they don't care what others say. ”

Qin Rulan was embarrassed by Qi Rong'er's words, how dare she take her words, and hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"There is indeed something that needs to trouble Second Miss. Zhang Xiaopaw nodded and said, "I heard that the Great Elder of your mansion has been injured in the Divine Soul, and he has been asking for spiritual objects or objects that are beneficial to the Divine Soul at a high price. I wonder if the second lady can help me introduce me?"

Qin Rulan was overjoyed when she heard this, stared at Zhang Xiaopaw and asked urgently, "Could it be that Zhang Gongzi has such a treasure?"

Zhang Xiaopaw smiled and nodded.

"Great!" Qin Rulan couldn't help clapping her hands in support, jumped out of the ring, eagerly made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Xiaopu, and then led the way, saying as she walked: "I'll take you to see my sister-sister, she will definitely give you a satisfactory price." ”

She dared to make such a sworn guarantee because the Qin family was in urgent need of a person who could convince the public, even if someone disobeyed but succumbed to deterrence, he did not dare to disobey, and he was wholeheartedly thinking about the future of the Qin family to stand up and preside over the overall situation, and the only person in the Qin family who could take on this important task was the Great Elder.

However, the Great Elder's soul was damaged, his cultivation plummeted, and he was now in retreat to heal his injuries, otherwise the Qin family would not have fallen into such an embarrassing situation as today.

The Qin family, at least that's what the people in their second room thought, and they were eager to help the Great Elder find a treasure that could repair the Divine Soul and help him get out of the customs as soon as possible. However, such treasures are extremely rare and hard to find. Moreover, even if anyone has it at home, they will definitely not take it out and sell it.

Therefore, since the Great Elder was injured, the Qin family has already raised the purchase price to the sky, and they have not received it, and no one has even come to the door to inquire.

At this time, when he heard Zhang Xiaopaw say that he had and had the intention of selling, the surprise and excitement in Qin Rulan's heart could not be described in words.

However, Zhang Xiaopaw did not step forward to follow, but stood in place and shook his head and refused: "I want to talk to the Great Elder of your Mansion in the next place." ”

Hearing this, Qin Rulan stopped, turned around with an embarrassed expression, and said, "The Great Elder is in retreat to heal his wounds, I'm afraid it's not good to disturb——"

Zhang Xiaopaw directly raised his hand to interrupt Qin Rulan's words, and said, "If you can't talk to the Great Elder, then don't talk about this matter." ”

"Yes, I'll take you to the Great Elder. Qin Rulan couldn't let Zhang Xiaopaw go, and nodded busily.

"The second lady is leading the way. Zhang Xiaopaw said.

"That-I won't go in with you, otherwise the eldest lady will see it, and I will definitely ask me to help persuade the second lady. Zhou Jianlai looked embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I can't see the high-minded appearance of the eldest lady and Su Mou, and I won't go in. Niu Dawa also shook her head and said.

Qi Yoyo smiled at Zhang Xiaopu and shook her head, indicating that she would not go in either. The atmosphere in the Qin Mansion must be extremely embarrassing at the moment, so why bother going in and looking for it.

Qi Rong'er didn't squeak or shake her head, because she and Qin Xin were on the same page, and the two families were still hostile, and she would definitely not enter the Qin Mansion.

In the end, only Zhang Xiaopaw followed Qin Rulan into the Qin Mansion, and he was not worried about danger at all, because Wan Qiuqing was accompanying Qin Liu's family in the Qin Mansion, and if there was really danger, he only needed to roar at the throat.

The two of them entered the gate of the Qin Mansion one after the other, and they didn't take a few steps forward to meet Qin Xinru, who was hurrying out with an anxious face.

"Sister-" Qin Rulan shouted in a slush.

When Qin Xinru saw Qin Rulan, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the anxious and worried look on her face fell.

She hurriedly walked out, just to find Qin Rulan. She waited in Qin Rulan's courtyard for a long time and didn't see Qin Rulan come back, thinking that Qin Rulan really drove herself to the door and no longer entered the gate of Qin's house from then on.

So as soon as he saw Qin Rulan coming back, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before this breath was relieved, she was pushed back by several times its anger, because she saw Zhang Xiaopaw who was following behind Qin Rulan.

Qin Xinru's brush was like frost, and he took two steps forward and dragged Qin Rulan behind him, blocking Zhang Xiaopaw in the middle, and scolded: "Who allowed you to enter the gate of the Qin family?! Get out of here, the Qin family doesn't welcome you!"

Zhang Xiaopaw turned his head to look to the side, too lazy to take care of Qin Xinru.

Qin Rulan hurriedly explained to Qin Xinru.

"You stupid girl, you will believe it when he says it? How can he, a mountain villager, have such a treasure? He must have come with bad intentions!" Qin Xinru listened to Qin Rulan's explanation, but instead lectured Qin Rulan, then looked at Zhang Xiaopaw and asked coldly: "You have the ability to take out the treasure and take a look." ”

Zhang Xiaopaw wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking that the big war was imminent, and he urgently needed a large number of pills to support, and the pills that the three of them had looted in the Li family had almost been exhausted and urgently needed to be replenished, so he took a breath and sneered at Qin Xinru: "You woman, your head is higher than the sky, when can you put down your hypocritical dignity and take a look at others?

Saying that, Zhang Xiaopaw took off the jade pendant from his waist, threw it at Qin Xinru casually, and reminded: "Just hold it in your hand for a while." ”

Qin Xinru wanted to reply to Zhang Xiaopaw, but she felt powerless.

Now it is no longer what it used to be, Zhang Xiaopaw's cultivation is much higher than her, and the identity of the disciple of Sanqingguan is also more noble than her current identity as the eldest lady of the Qin family who is about to decline. Although it is very difficult to accept, I have to admit that Zhang Xiaopu is already stronger than her.

"Ahh

Qin Xinru was also so frightened that she chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly reached out to catch the jade pendant, but after catching it, she couldn't help but be furious, thinking that Zhang Xiaopu was playing tricks on her. Because if this jade pendant is a treasure that can nourish the soul, how could Zhang Xiaopaw hang it on his body at will, let alone throw it around at will.

As soon as she took the jade pendant in her hand, she immediately raised her hand to drop the jade pendant.

"Sister!" Qin Rulan grabbed Qin Xinru's arm and said, "You can't trust him once?" It's just a few breaths, isn't the safety of the Great Elder even worth this little time?"

There was no need for Qin Rulan to persuade her again, because Qin Xinru had already felt the nourishing effect of the jade pendant on the divine soul, her eyes were getting wider and wider, her mouth was getting bigger and bigger, and her face showed an extremely shocked expression, and the hand she held the jade pendant trembled uncontrollably.

"Y-how much do you want?" After a while, Qin Xinrufang recovered from the shock a little, pinned the hand of the jade pendant behind him, and asked Zhang Xiaopaw, "How much do you want?"

"Give me back the jade pendant first. Zhang Xiaopaw beckoned to Qin Xinru.

"Tell me, how much do you want?" Qin Xinru directly ignored Zhang Xiaopaw's words, and asked again, with no intention of returning the jade pendant at all.

"I don't want to talk to you, only to the Great Elder of your mansion. Give me back the jade pendant!" Zhang Xiaopaw begged for the jade pendant again, and his tone became cold.
