The morning light is faint.

When Ji Xiaobai just woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes, there was still a moment of dazedness. Immediately, his gaze quickly focused, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

His hand subconsciously pressed on the mattress that had long been out of temperature on his side, and then sat up suddenly, the thin quilt slid down his bare chest, and on the shoulder on the side of his body, there was a clear tooth mark left on the skin.

Ji Xiaobai sat on the bed, looking at the empty bed with a slight distraction, and after a while, he got up and changed his clothes. Just when Ji Xiaobai turned around and hung up the curtain again, his eyes swept down, and he suddenly found that there was a necklace pressed on the corner of the quilt next to the pillow.

It was a pendant made of three flowers inlaid together, with a blue-purple gemstone at the center, and two flower ornaments of the same shape but slightly smaller on the thin chain on both sides of the pendant in the shape of three flowers.

- This is Ling Chusi's necklace, Ji Xiaobai still remembers that she wore this around her neck last night.

As for how Ah Ling's necklace ended up here, it was probably accidentally touched when the two people in the back were together......

Ji Xiaobai leaned over slightly, picked up the necklace, and gently held it in his hand.

He turned his head slightly frowned, glanced at the room where there was no one but himself, pursed his lips, put away Ling Chusi's necklace, and went straight out to find her.

Even in summer, the wind by the river in the early morning carries a touch of coolness.

When Ji Xiaobai saw Ling Chusi from a distance, she was slowly walking along the willow bank of the poplar embankment by the river.

Ji Xiaobai stood in place and stared at her quietly for a while, and then strode over.

"Ah Ling," Ji Xiaobai, who was walking behind, quickened his pace and said loudly.

When Ling Chusi heard this, his steps couldn't help but pause slightly.

She didn't look back, just stood there fixedly.

Ji Xiaobai walked over in a few steps, subconsciously put one arm on Ling Chusi's shoulder, and said softly: "Ah Ling, why don't you sleep for a while in the morning......

Ling Chusi's body seemed to stiffen for a moment, and immediately, she turned around, raised her head slightly, and looked at Ji Xiaobai, who was looking at her with a smile in her eyebrows and a smile in her eyes.

It was also at this time that Ji Xiaobai discovered that although Ling Chusi was still wearing a light-colored light gauze skirt, the fabric was an extremely soft and exquisite white light gauze, embellished with large ink-colored ribbons and patterns, but compared to yesterday's light and thin long skirt that exposed a small piece of soft and delicate shoulders, arms and back, today's clothes were tightly wrapped from the collar to the long water sleeves.

- The reason is also simple, Ling Chusi bit a tooth mark on Ji Xiaobai's shoulder yesterday, Ji Xiaobai said that he was reluctant to bite it back, but when Ling Chusi opened his eyes in the morning, he looked down at the ambiguous marks on his collarbone and nearby, and when he changed clothes, he directly chose a tightly fitting ......

Ling Chusi stood there, looked up at Ji Xiaobai, and pursed his lips slightly, but he didn't say anything.

After being slightly stunned, looking at her as if she was still pondering, Ji Xiaobai's heart was filled with a rare moment of surprise, "Ah Ling? He subconsciously opened his mouth to call her again, and in his voice so gentle that it seemed to indulge anyone, there was a clear hint of trepidation that even he himself had never thought of and would never admit.

After a long silence, Ling Chusi turned her face slightly, because she had been crying for a long time yesterday, and there was still a slight hoarseness in her voice, but when she spoke, there seemed to be only Qingling and indifference left in her voice, "It's just a mistake to drink," Ji Xiaobai listened to her say slowly: "You don't have to care about what happened last night......

At that moment, Ji Xiaobai's eyes widened.

Ling Chusi raised her hand, gently got rid of the arm she had just wrapped around her shoulder, took a step back, and after standing still, she gestured to him slightly, and then turned straight away.

After hearing Ling Chusi's simple and straightforward words just now, Ji Xiaobai's whole person was suddenly stunned.

It wasn't until Ling Chusi turned around to leave that he subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hand, however, the silent retention at this moment was just in vain.

After Ling Chusi walked away, he stood in place all the time, without even moving, and only a blank Ji Xiaobai was left in his mind, and only then did he come back to his senses a little.

What's ...... about what happened yesterday?

Ji Xiaobai pressed the corner of his forehead with a headache, obviously it was not him who drank last night, but now he only felt that the green tendons on his forehead were jumping and jumping.

When he found Ah Ling last night, it was already late, and Ah Ling was in a bad mood, so he simply led her to drink......

Later, Ah Ling kept her head down and drank silently, until she hugged herself, Ji Xiaobai suddenly realized that she was crying......

Until now, Ji Xiaobai still clearly remembers the slight coldness when she cried silently and when her tears soaked her clothes.

What happened after that seemed to have become logical.

Under the sorrow, Ah Ling's intentional closeness, as well as Ji Xiaobai, who was restrained and polite at the beginning, soon indulged himself in pushing the boat......

Obviously, Ji Xiaobai at that time, when he faced Ling Chusi, his brain was already blank, but now, Ji Xiaobai was trying to brainwash himself and try his best to tell himself that he would let her get close, in this way, would Ah Ling trust him more and have a closer relationship with him......

The first time the two of them met was in Wuyang City. At that time, Ji Xiaobai was just a teenager, and he suddenly faced the chaotic and complicated situation of his master dying at the hands of the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan, and the civil strife in the Heavenly Pavilion, so that the entire force was divided into two.

In that chaotic and crisis-ridden situation, Ji Xiaobai grabbed half of the forces that originated from his deceased master, however, the other half of the forces of the Heaven Filling Pavilion all fell into the hands of the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan.

Even so, because of the civil strife in the Heavenly Pavilion, under the crisis of the situation, even if it was the part of the power in his hands, Ji Xiaobai would not dare to believe it or use it at all.

In the teahouse of Wuyang City, Ji Xiaobai was once again chased and killed by the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan. At that time, Shi Zhixuan was already a top master in the Demon Gate and a well-known name in the entire rivers and lakes, even if he had the most precious inheritance book of the Mending Heaven Pavilion in his hand, but Ji Xiaobai, who was still young, was still not an opponent at all.

In desperation, Ji Xiaobai, who was in a critical situation and was almost at the end of his rope, had to fight to seriously injure himself, and also tried to hurt Shi Zhixuan, at that time, if there was no Ling Chusi, his only hope of getting out was actually only Shi Zhixuan, who still had great enemies such as Zhu Yuyan, the "Queen of Yin", and refused to expose his weaknesses, so for his almost ignorant attack, Shi Zhixuan would choose to avoid his edge!

It was also a coincidence that although Ji Xiaobai was severely injured at that time, with his internal strength and mental cultivation, it would not hurt his life. As for Ling Chusi's sudden rescue of people, it was beyond the expectations of everyone present.

After all, it was a mysterious figure who suddenly appeared, the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan didn't know Ling Chusi's identity and origin, and Ji Xiaobai, who went out of the city with her, actually didn't know either.

However, Ji Xiaobai, who had just been rescued, at that time, even though he was fragile and unconscious, his mind was still clear.

After perceiving the unfathomable skill of Ling Chusi, the first thought that flashed through Ji Xiaobai's mind was how to use her to deal with his mortal enemy "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan at this time!

Therefore, Ji Xiaobai took advantage of his serious internal injuries to show weakness to Ling Chusi more and more intentionally. What's more, because of Ling Chusi's practice of "Flower Travel" that collided with the martial arts of the Flower School, knowing that she and the cold and conceited Shi Zhixuan were destined to be hostile because of this, Ji Xiaobai spared no effort to reveal the location of Bi Xiuxin and Shi Qingxuan's mother and daughter to Ling Chusi, intentionally or unintentionally.

If Shi Zhixuan's wife and daughter were injured by Ling Chusi, the two would inevitably become mortal enemies, and such a situation was naturally what Ji Xiaobai was happy to see. Of course, if the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan died directly in the hands of Ling Chusi, it would be even better for Ji Xiaobai, who was still fighting with Shi Zhixuan for power.

It's a pity that Ling Chusi at that time, not to mention trusting the words of a stranger like Ji Xiaobai who met for the first time, didn't take him seriously at all, and even the so-called "people are good at their words", in Ling Chusi's place, he only had to say a ridiculous and disapproving ridicule and sarcasm......

Later, Ji Xiaobai and Ling Chusi gradually became familiar with each other.

Although this development of the situation was somewhat unexpected by Ji Xiaobai, the relationship between Ling Chusi and Shi Zhixuan, even without his promotion, still deteriorated rapidly at an alarming speed, and Ji Xiaobai was naturally happy to see it happen.

As time went by, Ji Xiaobai could feel that Ling Chusi gradually regarded him as a friend, however, that kind of closeness and trust between friends was just a better use of Ling Chusi's means for him. After all, for a powerful and somewhat powerful person like Ling Chusi, any straightforward use may only have the opposite effect, so the best way is to use feelings to impress people. Of course, in this process, Ji Xiaobai also paid a lot, otherwise, Ling Chusi would not have become more and more trusting of him......

It's just that Ji Xiaobai's original intention has always been to use Ling Chusi to achieve his own goals, and among them, using her to deal with Shi Zhixuan can be said to be the most straightforward aspect.

Later, Sun Simiao, who entered the Eastern Turks, was placed under house arrest by Zhao Deyan. Ling Chusi knew that Ji Xiaobai had his own news channel, so he tried to ask him for help and ask about Sun Simiao's whereabouts. And Ji Xiaobai really helped Ling Chusi, but at that time, Sun Simiao was clearly under house arrest by Zhao Deyan, but Ji Xiaobai did not hesitate to conceal this fact and Sun Simiao's clear whereabouts, and even concealed that he had some friendship with Zhao Deyan.

Ji Xiaobai's original intention was to figure out this matter, and then arrange the operation, and at the same time ask Ji Xiaobai to come over from Zhao Deyan, he fully expressed himself, so as to achieve the purpose of making Ling Chusi trust and get closer to him, but unfortunately, what Ji Xiaobai didn't expect was that after Ling Chusi got the news, he didn't hesitate at all, so he left here directly and went to the eastern Turkic ...... in the northland

After Ling Chusi left, when Ji Xiaobai stood in place and was thinking nonsense, looking back on these things that he had done since he met Ling Chusi over the years, he almost instinctively found all kinds of reasons for what he did last night, and thought too much, as if even he himself had already believed that last night's qi qi was not a true expression, but he himself pushed the boat down the river and did it intentionally.

After all, in the face of a powerful and determined character like Ling Chusi, only after such an extraordinary intimacy can she be more moved or touched......

After standing there and finding enough reasons, Ji Xiaobai finally closed his eyes, temporarily suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart at this time, and restrained every subtle expression on his face before turning around and returning to his residence in Yongjia County.

He seemed to have forgotten about it directly, no matter how much he thought about it at this time, last night, but his mind was blank, not to mention these complicated calculations, even the simplest thinking, when facing Ling Chusi, who was snuggled in his arms in clothes, seemed to be chaotic into a pot of paste, and the only little thought left was that she closed her bright eyes in the thick of the night, only the corners of her eyes were slightly red......

・

After Ling Chusi left the sentence just now to Ji Xiaobai, he turned around and left directly, on the surface, he seemed to be calm, but in fact, in his heart, there was no sense of running away.

Although she had drunk a lot of alcohol last night, the consciousness in her mind had always been very clear.

However, the more this was the case, the more Ling Chusi couldn't figure it out, how could he be so impulsive and directly move Ji Xiaobai as if he had been sent to a ghost last night......

In fact, Ling Chusi also knew in his heart that the two of them were still entangled like the closest people in the world last night, and this morning, his attitude changed suddenly, which naturally made Ji Xiaobai feel at a loss.

However, when Ling Chusi really did something about it, she was a little difficult and hesitant......

In order to shirk her responsibilities in some way, Ling Chusi was almost subconsciously suing herself, if she took the initiative to provoke her at the beginning, in the back, it was obvious that Xiaobai was just pushing the boat down the river last night. To be honest, if the other party's attitude had any resistance and hesitation, things would definitely not have developed to this point, and Ling Chusi himself would never have done anything that disregarded the other party's wishes.

After all, sleeping and not recognizing this kind of thing, in fact, both men and women are quite irresponsible.

Ling Chusi's heart was indescribably annoyed, she leaned on the maple tree a little distraught, listening to the rustle of the maple leaves in the summer breeze, and the river not far away, floating and golden, rippling water.

Standing here and thinking about it for a long time, Ling Chusi finally turned around and slowly walked towards Ji Xiaobai's residence.

However, when they all unconsciously walked to the door of someone's house, Ling Chusi suddenly paused, and her eyes were extremely complicated to stare at the door she had just walked through this morning......

After hesitating silently for a moment, Ling Chusi decisively turned around and left here again.

In the courtyard, standing behind the sparse and orderly garden trees, flowers and plants, Ji Xiaobai, who thought that he had already been mentally prepared, still couldn't help but feel a little trance.

He looked down at the beautiful scenery of the pavilions and water pavilions in the courtyard, and finally his eyes fell on the epiphany by the water, the beauty under the moon, a flash in the pan, just like between him and Ling Chusi, after a short, too hasty wonderful night, there was a long and lonely waiting, and maybe even a waiting and anticipation......

On the second day of Ling Chusi's stay in Yongjia County, he directly asked the clerk in the inn in the county to clean up a room and lived in it alone.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, a few more days passed.

In the past few days, neither Ling Chusi nor Ji Xiaobai have left Yongjia County, but no one has ever seen each other......

This silent waiting, or persistence, lasted until the rainy season in the middle of summer.

In the evening, the sky quickly darkened, and after a violent lightning and thunder, the thick clouds covered the sky like a pitch-black curtain.

It was also in such a stormy weather, after seeing a secret letter sent by his subordinates, Ji Xiaobai stood up from the desk in the study, walked to the window silently, and gently pushed the originally closed window open.

A gust of wind blew in through the crack in the window, and in an instant, the screen and curtain shook violently, and the table was too late to press the handwriting with the paperweight, and just like that, as the rice paper flew all over the room, the paper also made a "bang" sound.

Ji Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief gently, temporarily ignoring the beautiful figure that still popped up in his mind from time to time, and smelled the smell of a little mud outside the window, but it was also exceptionally fresh after the rain, which made people feel refreshed.

"Let's go back!" Ji Xiaobai came back to his senses and stood in front of the window, behind him was the strong wind, pouring rain, lightning and thunder. Even the light behind him frequented and dimmed with the lightning in the sky.

However, under such circumstances, Ji Xiaobai's voice was obviously indifferent and cold, but with an indescribable abruptness and tiredness that he himself had already ignored......

Ji Xiaobai quietly left Yongjia County on this stormy night, and by the time Ling Chusi learned the news, it was already early the next morning.

- Although Ji Xiaobai left by himself, he ordered someone to send a key to the door of the house.

He didn't let anyone say anything, his attitude was cold and detached, obviously as if nothing had happened, but looking at the key, Ling Chusi couldn't help but bite his lip slightly......

After Ji Xiaobai left, Ling Chusi accepted the key with a complicated mood, thinking about what he had caused that night, as well as the change in Ji Xiaobai's attitude before and after, and he was vaguely a little sorry and uneasy in his heart......

After that night, Ling Chusi never went to Ji Xiaobai's residence again.

Now, holding this hot potato-like key, Ling Chusi still couldn't help but think about it, and after a long time, she suddenly realized that she had been immersed in the question of how she could face Xiaobai in the future these days, thinking too much, so much so that Ling Chusi almost forgot the most essential reason why her relationship was out of control that day, and the whole person was so sad and sad that she could almost not control herself......

Now, thinking once again that he might never be able to go back, Ling Chusi let out a long sigh of relief, but felt that his mood was a little brighter.

After sleeping for a while, and having new or self-righteous troubles, Ling Chusi became more open to the previous things.

It just so happened that she hadn't had anything to do recently, and after seeing the comings and goings of various forces from Song Valve to Cihang Jingzhai and even Demon Gate on the docks of Yongjia County in the past few days, Ling Chu thought about it and put her mind back into solving the problem of a rumor earlier.

It just so happened that You Niaoti, Jin Huanzhen, and Zhou Laosian didn't know why, so they also came to Yongjia County by boat one after another.

After noticing the whereabouts of several of them, Ling Chusi went directly to the door that night.

The night sky was darkened by the clouds and the stars.

Ling Chusi held the snow phoenix ice king flute in his hand, and after quietly walking outside the house of Jin Huanzhen and Zhou Laosi, he was really thinking about how he was going to force the truth of the matter, but unfortunately, the voice of Jin Huanzhen that he suddenly heard made Ling Chusi's eyes widen in shock.

"Shi Zhixuan's whereabouts are unknown now, it would be better if he never appeared again, everyone can rest assured." A lamp was lit in the room, and Jin Huanzhen's slender and slender figure was shadowed on the window, reflecting Zhou Laosi's five-short figure, as if he was playing a ghost story on the window.

Jin Huanzhen's voice was soft and charming, but it was with a kind of unexpected determination, "I just got the news, now, even the pavilion master of the Heaven Repair Pavilion has been injured, why should we be in such a hurry, if we accidentally hurt ourselves, wouldn't it be a pity?" ”

Zhou Laosian just smiled honestly on the surface, and replied quite simply: "You have an opinion on things, and I listen to you." ”

After hearing that Ji Xiaobai, the master of the Heaven Replenishing Pavilion, was injured, Ling Chusi, who was still standing in the shadows outside the window, suddenly trembled in his heart.

After a short period of hesitation, Ling Chusi clenched his Snow Phoenix Ice King Flute and broke into the door directly, and after Jin Huanzhen screamed in horror, he said with a smile: "I heard that there were rumors before that the Evil Emperor Relic is in my hands. By the way, I also want to know when I have it, why don't you explain it to me? ”
