After entering the Empty Cicada Sect, Su Xian naturally didn't have to live in the residence that Mu Shuliang had arranged for her before, and when she came to the southern disciple's residence with Xiaolan, she found that a group of people were already waiting there, queuing up to receive the key to the room and bedding from a disciple of the Empty Cicada Sect.

The person waiting at the door of the disciple's house was a female disciple of the Empty Cicada Sect, if Su Xian remembered it well, it should be the female disciple who followed Mu Shuliang during the introductory trial, and it should be Mu Shuliang's junior sister, whose name is Jin Xue.

Su Xian took Xiaolan to Jin Xue's face, Xiaolan squinted her eyes and shouted with a smile, Senior Sister, who knew that after Jin Xue heard this, she didn't immediately arrange a place for the two of them, but raised her eyes and looked at Su Xian seriously.

Su Xian felt that the other party's gaze didn't seem to be friendly, and couldn't help but look back. The two looked at each other, one was as cold as frost and snow, and the other looked faint, neither of them spoke.

"Your name is Su Xian, right?" Jin Xue asked.

Su Xian responded, and Jin Xue said again: "I heard that you were brought back by Senior Brother." ”

"Yes." Su Xian nodded.

Jin Xue chuckled, the frost on her face seemed to be swept away with this smile, there was a box containing the key in front of her, she lowered her head and picked it from the box for a while, and sent a key with a red rope to Su Xian's hand, and said softly: "Senior brother treats people very well, since he has high hopes for you, you should not let him down." ”

Su Xian took the key, and Jin Xue said, "You go inside, the twenty-third room of the bamboo character is the residence of the two of you." ”

Su Xian looked at the key in his hand for a moment, Jin Xue stared at Su Xian, the two were silent for a moment, and just when Jin Xue couldn't help but want to speak, Su Xian laughed and said to Jin Xue: "Thank you, senior sister." ”

Jin Xue's expression slowed slightly, but she didn't smile, she only whispered to urge the two of them to hurry in, and then continued to hand out the bedding and keys.

Su Xian and Yao Lan took the key, and then picked up their respective futons from the other disciples of the Empty Cicada Sect, and then walked towards the disciples' residence. Although the Empty Cicada Sect receives a small number of people every year, there are many sects, and there are new disciples every year, and the number of disciples is not small. The Empty Cicada Sect pays attention to treating everyone equally, so the younger generation of disciples have similar food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even the senior brother Mu Shuliang, who has won many praises, is no exception. At this time, he and his disciples should still be practicing, only the new disciples are walking in it, and it is very quiet all around, and the whole disciples' house is full of low huts, and there are signs hanging in front of each room, even though there are many houses here, but there is no mistake.

After walking silently for a while, Xiaolan seemed to have finally recovered her usual appearance, and pulled Su Xian and said, "That person looked at you strangely just now, have you seen her before?" ”

"Nope."

Yaolan raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "Who is she?" ”

"It should be Mu Shuliang's junior sister." Su Xian replied casually, but thought about it and said, "You look at Shu's ignorant eyes are also weird, have you seen him before?" ”

Yaolan was choked back by Su Xian's original words, her expression changed slightly for a while, and she shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it." ”

Su Xian didn't believe her words at all: "You just said that you didn't come to the Empty Cicada Sect, but if I'm not mistaken, you came once seven years ago and stole a rare treasure from the Empty Cicada Sect. ”

Yaolan was broken by Su Xian's words, and couldn't help frowning slightly, covering her face and saying, "Auntie, just spare me." ”

"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Su Xian didn't intend to force Xiaolan to say it, this matter had nothing to do with her, and she didn't want to make it difficult for her, but she just teased Xiaolan casually. After she said this, the two turned a corner again, and then stopped: "It's here." ”

The room in front of the two of them seemed to be no different from the other houses in the disciple's residence, but the only difference was that this room should be close to the innermost one, and further back, there was a high wall, which was extremely high, and there were several old charms pasted on it, and the marks on the wall were mottled, as if there were sword marks and scratches from something else.

Yao Lan stared at the high wall behind the room, and couldn't help but say, "Did you say that guy deliberately gave us this room?" ”

Su Xian didn't answer, and when he arrived at the front of the house, there was a wooden sign hanging on the door of the house, on which the words "Bamboo Twenty-three" were written.

There is an iron lock in front of the door, it is rusty, it seems that no one has used it for a while, Su Xian took out the key to open the lock, the lock is not very easy to use, tried for a while before finally hearing a "click", the lock opened. Su Xian pushed open the door, the door that had not been opened for a long time rolled up dust and floated up, Xiaolan couldn't help but cough lightly in the back and fan the ashes, staring at the dust in the room, it took a while before he eased up, and said to Su Xian: "Can I go out and beat that little goblin?" ”

"If you do, we'll be driven down the mountain in no time." Su Xian responded calmly, but looking at the appearance that the house had not been inhabited for a long time, and the cobwebs were dense and covered with dust, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "If you want to fight, remember to mask and fight." ”

Xiaolan: "......"

Although the two of them said this, they could only live first, but Xiaolan had lived for so many years, and she had never been able to fight and kill people, so if she really wanted to clean up the house, she had no experience at all. She naturally didn't count on Su Xian, in her memory, Su Xian had always been served with good food and drink, and she had nothing to do with these things, so she couldn't help but ask, "What should we do?" ”

Su Xian didn't respond, but his eyes went over to Xiao Lan and looked at Xiao Chu, who had been obediently following them.

At first, Yao Lan didn't understand why a person like Su Xian still had a puppet by her side. Su Xian's strength is not bad, even if he fights with others, he doesn't need such a puppet to protect him.

It wasn't until she watched Xiao Chu silently clean up the entire room that Xiao Lan blinked her eyes, which had been widening for a long time, and said seriously: "No wonder you can't do without Xiao Chu so much!" ”

Su Xian: "......"

She glanced at Yao Lan and said lightly, "Xiao Chu has been with me for a long time, and his strength is more than that." ”

Xiaolan didn't know what the power of the puppet was, but seeing that the house was cleaned up, she was in a better mood, and only said that she still had something to do, so she went out again. Su Xian didn't ask Xiaolan what she was going to do, and when the sun was about to set, Xiaolan came back from outside, still holding a handful of plum blossoms in her hand. There was also an empty vase on the table in the room, Xiao Lan inserted the plum blossoms into the vase, and the whole room was filled with the faint fragrance of plums, Xiao Lan smiled, looked back at Su Xian and said: "You probably don't know, there is a very beautiful plum forest in this empty cicada sect, not far from the south of this disciple's residence, when I have time, I will take you over to see." ”

"Okay." Anyway, he was going to stay here for two months, so Su Xian agreed without thinking about it.

She took a basin of water, and was wiping Xiao Chu's hands and face at this time, Xiaolan saw the other party's face clearly, and said in a daze: "Chu Qingjiu? ”

Xiao Chu had also taken off his mask in Shu Wuzhi before, but at that time, Xiaolan's mind was on Shu Wuzhi's body, so she didn't notice it. Su Xian saw her so surprised, so he said, "It's just a puppet with the same appearance as Chu Qingjiu." ”

Yao Lan looked at Xiao Chu's face thoughtfully, and sat down for a while before saying: "I heard that a while ago, someone used a puppet with the same appearance as Chu Qingjiu to set up a game, exposing the fact that the identity of the eldest young master of the Chu family is fake, and the real Chu Qingjiu has died a long time ago, that person ...... Could it be you? ”

Su Xian's movements paused slightly, she washed the handkerchief that had wiped Xiao Chu's cheeks in clean water, wrung it out again, wiped Xiao Chu's hands carefully, and said while wiping: "I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly." ”

Seeing her reaction, Yaolan immediately confirmed her guess, and she continued: "Of course everyone is very concerned about such a big matter, I heard that the master of the Chu family doesn't seem to know about this matter, and it wasn't until you exposed it that he sent someone to investigate thoroughly, saying that it was Chu Qingjiu's second uncle Chu Heng who was making trouble, and Chu Qingjiu was dying when he was sent to the Chu family, but Chu Heng and the old brothers of the Chu family have always had a grudge, so they didn't save ......"

Xiaolan didn't continue to say this, she kept looking at Su Xian's expression when she said this, Su Xian seemed calm, but the piece of brocade in her hand had already been crumpled. Su Xian's face was as usual, but her voice was a little deeper, and she said, "You go on." ”

Xiao Lan nodded hesitantly, and continued: "After Chu Qingjiu died, they ruined his face and threw him into the river—"

The brocade handkerchief in Su Xian's hand burned out of thin air for some reason, and the red flames burned the handkerchief to the point that there were no ashes left, Yaolan was startled and quickly shut up.

Su Xian raised his eyes to look at Xiao Chu in front of him, looking at his similar face to Chu Qingjiu, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, I investigated later, and I knew all these things, but I didn't notice it at the beginning, and I personally sent him to that place, which caused him to end up like this." She paused for a moment and said, "How is Chu Heng now?" ”

"His affairs are exposed, and naturally no one can tolerate him." Yaolan sighed, thought for a while, and said, "There are many people who want to avenge Chu Qingjiu, and so is that fake Chu Qingjiu, and now everyone is rushing to kill them, even if they don't die, it is estimated that they are not far from death." ”

Su Xian didn't speak, and Xiaolan was afraid that she would be sad, so she whispered: "You and him are not friends, and now that you have avenged him, you should do your duty." ”

"Hmm." Su Xian replied in a deep voice, but laughed after a while, "You're right, we're not even friends." ”

For some reason, Xiaolan felt that Su Xian's look made her a little flustered.

However, Su Xian quickly put away his expression again, only got up and tidied up Xiao Chu's clothes, put on the mask again, and his movements were gentle and meticulous, and then he said: "It's time to rest, I have to go to the Ming Sect tomorrow." ”

"Oh." At the mention of Zhi Mingzong, Yaolan's face turned a little paler, nodded and went to bed to cover her face and fell asleep.

Xiao Chu was instructed by Su Xian to go to the gate to keep vigil, who wanted the snowflakes to accumulate for another night, and when he got up the next day and looked at the thick layer of snow on Xiao Chu's body, Su Xian regretted it. She brushed away the falling snow on her body for Xiao Chu, and then went to Zhimingzong with Yaolan.

When the two of them arrived at the Zhiming Sect, there were already several people waiting in the spacious hall, and what Su Xian didn't expect was that among the people waiting, Mu Shuliang, who was the first among the young disciples of the Empty Cicada Sect, was also included.
