It's night.

The evening breeze is blowing, passing through the inner courtyard of Guichun Zhai.

Guichun Zhai vestibule.

Ye Zhiqiu was dressed in a nightgown with a pale blue shawl draped over his shoulders, and sat behind the desk.

He supported his forehead with one hand, his phoenix eyes closed lightly, his breathing was steady, and he seemed to have been asleep for a long time.

The candle flame on one side swayed slightly, illuminating Ye Zhiqiu's fair and elegant face, and a trace of light trembled slightly between his eyelashes.

Approaching the late spring, there were already swallows in front of the hall, chattering non-stop.

The willow branches of the atrium swayed slightly in the moonlight, drawing a lot of clear light.

Rustle Rustle –

There was a sudden sound of gentle footsteps moving at the door of Guichun Zhai, from far to near, breaking the tranquility of this small world.

A thin figure slowly seeped out of the night, silently approaching the dim Guichun Zhai.

As he got closer, the thin figure slowly raised his head, and in a pair of big eyes, the three big characters on the plaque above his head were reflected, "Returning to Chunzhai".

She stared intently for a long time, her face calm, and she couldn't see her joy or anger

The person who came was the little beggar Lu Wu had seen in the daytime.

For a long time, the corners of her mouth hooked up with a satisfied smile.

Finally found it.

Her steps moved lightly, like a little wild cat in the night, quietly escaping from the spring fast.

As soon as she stepped through the door of the antechamber, she saw the figure sitting on the side of the desk.

Her eyes changed suddenly, full of solemnity and vigilance.

From within that body, she sensed some kind of indescribable oppression, and a faint aura of danger.

After a while, she found that the other party was breathing steadily, as if she was asleep in a dream, so she breathed a sigh of relief, raised her chest slightly, and adjusted her breath.

She exhaled slowly, slowly adjusting her breath in some strange breathing technique.

In an instant, she seemed to melt into the darkness in this small study, and no longer revealed the slightest breath.

It's like there's no sign of life.

She crept forward, a pair of eyes glowing in the dim room, and the position of the mud pill palace on her forehead shone slightly, as if she was inducing some kind of strange energy.

Her figure slowly became blurred, and a faint black mist quietly emanated from her petite body, enveloping her body in it, like a black shadow, walking in the dark realm.

The black shadow gradually approached Ye Zhiqiu, and stopped only half a meter away from Ye Zhiqiu.

The thick mist rolled slightly, as if to show the uncertainty of the man's mind in the mist.

But it was only a fleeting time, and the next moment, she regained her composure, and the mysterious power surging around her was slightly condensed, as if something was brewing.

Wow!

A silvery-white light suddenly flickered within the black mist, fleeting.

I saw that the black mist suddenly turned into a virtual shadow, drifting erratically, and suddenly attacked towards Ye Zhiqiu's figure.

Rumble!

An indescribable majestic power erupted from within the black mist, with a surging wave of Xuan Qi, and let out a terrifying roar.

The temperature in Guichun Zhai dropped suddenly.

At this moment, the entire vestibule seemed to be in the icy and snowy winter moon, and the surrounding beams and walls were covered with ice flowers.

In an instant, the surging killing machine raged in this small courtyard, and the surging and terrifying energy fluctuations were terrifying!

Between the black fog, a pair of cold eyes stared at Ye Zhiqiu in front of him, without the slightest emotion.

In the mud pill palace on her forehead, there seemed to be a small figure sitting in it, chanting some kind of scripture, attracting some kind of mysterious energy between heaven and earth, blessing her thin body.

The black mist on her body twisted slightly, as if it had turned into wisps of black flames, pulsating around her body.

A bone-chilling chill rippled from her petite body, as if it could freeze all things in the Nine Heavens, with a strong aura of oppression, a cold and terrifying edge slashed towards Ye Zhiqiu's head!

Burst!

Without any obstruction, the blade in her hand slashed in from the top of Ye Zhiqiu's head, as easy as chopping melons and vegetables!

Bright and warm blood suddenly gushed out from Ye Zhiqiu's body and sprinkled on the little beggar's body.

The little beggar was bathed in Ye Zhiqiu's blood, feeling the fishy smell coming from it, her dirty cheeks were calm, and her eyes were full of bone-chilling coldness.

It shouldn't have been all the temperament of a little girl her age.

It's like a Shura stepping out of the Yellow Spring.

It seems to be planted in the sea of void blood, a murderous ice crystal blood lotus!

A cold smile flashed slightly at the corner of her mouth, as if she was proud, as if she was mocking Ye Zhiqiu's cold body.

Wow –

A strange wave suddenly rippled out of this space.

Like a pebble thrown into the lake, this small world suddenly set off ripples.

The strange ripples spread rapidly, growing larger and larger, penetrating her body and suffocating the black fog that rolled around her.

"Huh?" her eyes shrank suddenly, and a hint of solemnity appeared, as if she sensed that something was wrong.

Rumble!

The black fog on the little beggar's body was surging in an instant, and the black flames around him swirled rapidly, revealing extremely powerful energy!

With a flick of her hand, wisps of law and order emerged from the void, intertwined into mysterious patterns, as if she was secretly hooking some kind of great power between heaven and earth.

The raging and terrifying Xuan Qi rose from this small study, as if it wanted to break through this small world!

Seeing that the little study was about to disappear in this indescribable wave of energy, everything around it suddenly froze in an instant!

This space seems to be frozen in heaven and earth, and the black fog of the little beggar seems to have turned into some kind of solid substance at this moment, which is difficult to roll, but inlays the little beggar in it.

The crazy roaring wave of Xuan Qi in the study seemed to have been condensed in the void by some incomprehensible power, turning into a strange existence like a glacier.

A look of horror suddenly appeared in the little beggar's eyes.

She was also frozen in this small world along with everything around her body!

It's like a mosquito wrapped in amber!

Her expression was no longer cold and calm as before, and a deep fear and deep powerlessness appeared in her heart.

What a great power this is!

Even if you are in an unknowable place, you are afraid that it is nothing more than that!

Click!

It was like the slight sound of porcelain breaking.

When she heard this, she wondered, but in a moment, she was replaced by a strong fear!

Click!

The cracking sound became louder and louder, and a huge crack suddenly appeared in the entire space!

The rift is getting bigger and bigger, crisscrossing like a spider's web, spreading in this small world!

The little beggar looked at the changes around him with a frightened expression, but he had no choice but to watch everything happen in vain, and his eyes were covered with a thick veil of darkness.

Wow!

In an instant, cracks spread all over the study, and the entire space suddenly cracked and turned into sharp pieces!

In the frightened and powerless gaze of the little beggar, her body was also completely shattered with the cracks of this heaven and earth!

The cold aura of death suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart, rapidly expanding.

The fear and despair in her heart filled the whole heart, but she was powerless to struggle, and could only watch herself crumble inch by inch!

"No!"

I don't know where she got the strength, she suddenly opened her lips and screamed bitterly!

Rumble!

The world suddenly collapsed in her terrible screams, and everything turned into powder in an instant!

The little beggar only felt that it was suddenly dark in front of him.

In an instant, the stars shifted.

When she opened her eyes, she found that she was still standing in front of the hall of Guichun Zhai for some reason.

Sweating profusely.

Sweat soaked her whole body, and she was drenched like a person who had fallen into the water.

The ragged clothes clung to her body, and there was a slight discomfort, but she didn't care in the slightest.

Her eyes were confused for a moment, and then they turned to a thick sense of alertness.

She looked towards the front court of Guichunzhai, but found Ye Zhiqiu sitting there intact at the moment, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at herself through the dim candlelight.

In the dimly lit room, she found that Ye Zhiqiu's eyes were so bright, and the eyes staring at her seemed to be able to penetrate all the fog and go straight to the depths of people's hearts.

Being stared at like this, she suddenly felt as if she was completely exposed in front of Ye Zhiqiu in some strange way, and all her secrets could not be hidden.

Ye Zhiqiu's gaze swept over the girl's dirty cheeks, stayed at her shining Mud Pill Palace, smiled slightly, and said softly: "I didn't expect you to rely on your own heart to break my four elephant ruins, and take a step forward, this time, he really owes me." ”

The girl in front of the hall was silent, secretly clenching the strange scimitar in her hand, her pupils flickering, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the girl's alert appearance, as if she had been frightened by a wild cat, and the smile on her face was even bigger.

He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and asked softly, "What are you doing here?"

The girl frowned slightly, as if she had a lot of reluctance, but feeling Ye Zhiqiu's bright gaze, she still replied obediently: "Kill." ”

"Oh?" Ye Zhiqiu raised his head slightly, and there was a hint of playfulness at the corner of his mouth: "Kill whom?"

The girl didn't have time to think, thinking about the master's instructions before leaving, and said in a low voice: "Kill the person who carries the luck of heaven and earth here." ”

Ye Zhiqiu's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the girl in front of him carefully, and asked softly, "Then why do you want to kill me?"

The girl was silent this time.

She was silent for a long time before she said slowly: "For some reason, you have made me feel a strong sense of oppression and threat. So I want to kill. ”

Regarding the girl's answer, Ye Zhiqiu's eyes revealed a strong interest, and said with a smile: "Then why did you find here?"

"The master said, if you can find it, you can find that person. ”

Hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu was slightly stunned, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "After all, I can't avoid it." ”

The girl frowned as she listened to Ye Zhiqiu's words like talking to herself, but she didn't say anything.

Ye Zhiqiu got up slowly, and smiled softly at the girl: "It's a guest from afar." If he told you to come, stay with me. ”

When the girl heard this, she took two steps back, her expression full of vigilance.

Seeing this, Ye Zhiqiu blinked and said softly: "Your master also said that only with me can you find the person you are looking for." ”

There was a hint of emotion between the girl's eyebrows, and her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.

She tentatively stepped into the vestibule, but she didn't dare to continue walking, as if she was afraid of Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled, turned around and walked from the courtyard behind, and said casually: "There is a guest room in the atrium, warm water has been prepared, you go take a shower and change into clean clothes." Dinner is already on the table, hurry up, if you don't eat it, it will be cold. ”

The girl was still a little hesitant, but when she heard the word dinner, she suddenly remembered the strange food that the young man named Lu Wu gave her during the day, and there was a gurgling sound in her stomach.

She saw Ye Zhiqiu walk into the courtyard at the back, so she stepped forward to find the guest room that Ye Zhiqiu said.

There was still a certain vigilance in his expression.

......

Ye Zhiqiu walked into the residence of the courtyard behind him, turned around and looked, a pair of phoenix eyes were shining, as if he was observing the girl in the vestibule through the dark night.

He recalled the other water bladders on the waist of the girl he had just seen, and smiled slightly, looking complacent.

He looked back at the chessboard on the table, his expression complicated.

It seems to be in the middle of that chess game.

Surrounded by enemies.

I don't know who the real chess player is.
