Bai Yan looked at her for a moment before he spoke: "Before this, I also had something to understand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

An Lan gently stroked the hair hanging down the side of her face: "You say." ”

Bai Yan asked, "Why didn't you want to ask until today, the day you moved in, or even earlier, these questions should have been in your mind. ”

An Lan looked at him and was silent for a moment before saying, "Because I confirmed one thing, I suddenly wanted to ask clearly." ”

"Confirm something?" Bai Yan was a little puzzled, "What's the matter?"

An Lan said: "I don't want to say it yet. ”

Bai Yan smiled slowly: "Mr. An, this is not fair. ”

An Lan glanced at him lightly: "How can there be absolute fairness in this world, such as the love and righteousness between you and me, who treats whom more seriously, who treats whom more seriously, can you tell clearly?"

Bai Yan had to sigh helplessly, then looked at her for a while, and asked uncertainly, "You seem to be angry?"

An Lan said: "No." ”

Denied it quickly, but Bai Yan became more and more sure that she was really a little annoyed.

But An Lan seemed to have suddenly lost interest in continuing this topic, and she didn't want to continue asking, so she brushed her hair casually, then sat up and said, "It's almost noon, let's eat, what are you going to eat today?"

Bai Yan glanced at her, stretched out his finger and lightly tapped on her forehead: "Shrimp ball chicken skin soup, steamed duck stuffed with wine, rouge goose breast, and a bowl of steamed cheese with sugar, Mr. An is still satisfied?"

An Lan glanced at him: "Not bad." ”

It's just that when the meal was put on the table, she ate less than the previous days, she ate half a bowl of japonica rice, drank two sips of soup, and put in a small slice of goose breast, and the wine-stuffed steamed duck didn't even touch it, only the bowl of sugar steamed cheese was almost finished.

Seeing that she put the chopsticks down, Bai Yan asked, "Isn't it unappetizing?"

An Lan shook her head: "Don't accept the soup first, heat it on the stove, I'll eat it later." ”

Bai Yan frowned slightly: "You've been eating less and less these days, is it the influence of the Xiang Gu?"

"Probably. An Lan picked up the tea next to her and rinsed her mouth, and then said, "Do you want to know what it's like?"

Hearing this, Bai Yan gently put down his chopsticks.

An Lan pondered for a while before saying: "It's like a whirlpool, a giant beast, lurking in the heart, it is dark, wet, powerful, can't get rid of it, it follows me like a shadow, it is waiting for an opportunity to tear apart my consciousness at any time, devour me, and turn me into its flesh and blood for him to drive." Even the incense realm I raised will be out of my control, and even control me in turn, leading me to the unknown abyss!"

Bai Yan listened silently, his expression serious, even a little dignified.

An Lan was also silent, and only spoke again after a long time, her voice soft, as if coming from a distant place: "It's another me." ”

Bai Yan gently covered her hand on the table, looked at her and said, "No, it's just some of your negative emotions, it's mutilated, unconscious, and vain, it can't be another you, let alone drive you." Instead, you can defeat it, control it, drive it, and make it work for you. ”

An Lan looked at him for a moment, then slowly lowered her eyes, looking at his hand, the palm was wide, the fingers were slender, the palm was warm, he just gently covered her hand, but she could still feel his strength, not that kind of strong explosiveness, but gentle, long, long-lasting, unfathomable, reliable and convincing power.

However, she still spoke, picking up the previous question: "Did you already know that one day, I would walk into this house again?"

Bai Yan said: "This is where I have lived, and I am never surprised that you will walk in again." ”

This answer is a bit evasive, An Lan withdrew her hand and asked again: "Did you have already guessed under what circumstances I would walk into this mansion again and stay?"

Bai Yan withdrew his hand, picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip before saying, "I have thought of many possibilities, but I never thought that it would be like this. ”

An Lan asked, "What kind of situation is it now?"

Bai Yan put down the teacup, but did not speak immediately, with a little worry in his eyes, as if he was considering the words.

An Lan said for him: "I didn't expect me to be so vulnerable, I didn't expect Xiang Gu to be so strong?"

Bai Yan shook his head: "You are not fragile, and the Xiang Gu is by no means as strong as they think." ”

An Lan said: "But it's still stronger than you imagined." ”

Bai Yan was silent and held her hand again: "You'll be fine." ”

An Lan just smiled faintly, and then changed the subject: "Has the golden finch been found?"

Bai Yan shook his head: "Xie Lanhe's purpose is not the golden finch, but the pure dust, now that the pure dust has left the Changxiang Palace, and is temporarily trapped in the incense realm by Xie Lanhe, as long as the pure dust does not leave Xie Lanhe's incense realm, the golden finch will not be in danger." ”

An Lan frowned slightly: "In this way, did Jingchen take the initiative to enter Xie Lanhe's incense realm, or did Xie Lanhe's incense really trap Jingchen?"

Bai Yan shook his head again: "The people of the Pigeon Building can't find out the true situation of the Great Incense Master's Fragrance Realm. ”

An Lan frowned, and Bai Yan said again: "At least for now, the golden finch is not in danger, you don't have to worry too much." ”

"If the goldfinch is really in Xie Lanhe's hands, it's okay, I'm worried, if he has already handed over the goldfinch to someone else, then the safety of the goldfinch will be ......" An Lan asked: "Your people can't find the goldfinch?"

"I've been looking for a long time, but I haven't found any effective clues for the time being. Bai Yan pondered for a moment, and then said, "Xie Lanhe's goal is to purify the dust, and in my opinion, he will definitely not hand over the golden finch to others." Besides, he is not a person to be sent, whether it is a person who has no incense in the world or a person from the Tao, I am afraid that he will not be able to send him. Taking a step back, if Xie Lanhe really handed over the golden finch to someone else, maybe he would have revealed clues because of this, and the people in the Torture Court and the Pigeon House were waiting for him to make these moves. ”

An Lan couldn't help but sigh as she spoke: "I hope so." ”

If Jingchen really wants to save the golden finch, he can only keep dealing with Xie Lanhe, as long as he insists on it until the thirtieth day of the lunar month. But if this is the case, there will be one less great incense master in the Changxiang Palace.

An Lan stroked her forehead: "Mr. Cui is almost in Qinghe, right?"

Bai Yan calculated the time and said, "If they go well, they will enter the Qinghe River in another day." However, when they were still three days away from Qinghe, the Cui clan had already sent people to greet them, and everyone from all walks of life was secretly watching to ensure that Mr. Cui would definitely enter Qinghe. ”

An Lan sighed: "In this way, it is even more impossible for Mr. Cui to return to Chang'an." ”

Bai Yan said: "You don't need to think so much, Chuanlian challenged the Changxiang Palace, not to challenge all the great incense masters. Although several of their great incense masters were not in the incense hall, it was not that the outcome of this battle had already been decided. ”

An Lan smiled faintly: "There is no incense in the world to challenge, that is, all the great incense masters, the entire Changxiang Palace, and even the entire Chang'an." ”
