Zhu Yan turned the jade pendant over and over, and the man in white looked at her serious appearance and couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at?" ”

Zhu Yan said for a long time: "This jade is not my jade." She remembered what the Blood Rakshasa said when she saw the piece of jade, and she recognized at a glance that this was Brother Jing's jade, and this Jing character should be Xue Jingyan's Jing. But it can't be compared with these five Xinyu in ten years, so the person in front of her is just misleading her.

"Where did you see that!" The man in white was a little surprised. The girl carrying the lantern on the side didn't make a hair, Zhu Yan glanced at her, isn't she tired?

"Sister Blood Rakshasa recognized this jade as soon as she saw it, and it was Brother Jing's, a jade exclusive to one person, it shouldn't be this kind of jade. Moreover, I had noticed that there was a cyan mist in the center of the jade, and a small Jingzi was engraved on it. And this piece of jade does not. Since this jade is the letter jade, then the jade is not. ”

The man in white smiled, different from the previous deliberate smiles, but this smile was full of appreciation.

"Yes, you're right. I didn't expect you to be literate. This font is not a popular word now, but a calligraphy master Lu Yanzhi created a line of calligraphy, the tip of the pen is intermittent, and the font is like flowing water, hence the name. The girl in front of her doesn't look like a person who should be literate, especially the Blood Rakshasa once sent a message to him flying pigeons, this is just from a township, and reading and learning words doesn't seem to be conditional.

But since the other party recognized her trick, with his character, he would not admit it. This is indeed what he doesn't want Jing Yan's jade pendant to be in the hands of an ordinary person. But I didn't expect Xiaoluo to have a time when he looked away.

"Miss Zhu, it's rude." Xue Mu straightened her attitude, since she could recognize the strangeness, it meant that this piece of jade did not fall into Zhu Yan's hands because of an accident, and that was enough.

Zhu Yan looked at his sincere attitude, and he didn't know what to say, he was on other people's land, and the Hades Palace was so powerful, it was estimated that he had already checked himself to the bottom. No wonder the Blood Rakshasa didn't even ask for his name. A gloom rose in Zhu Yan's heart.

"What is the purpose of Mu Gongzi?" Zhu Yan sank his face and tried to smile but couldn't laugh.

"Before, Xiaoluo brought you to the Hades Palace without your consent, and I will ask her to apologize to you later. The piece of jade is in her hand, and you tell her that I asked her to return the jade to you. Jing Yan and I are good friends, because I didn't know that you still have a relationship, so I took the liberty to test it. Since Jing Yan didn't tell you about the jade pendant, let's put it down, okay? Xue Mu smiled indifferently, with affirmation in his words, as if he felt that Zhu Yan would definitely accept his proposal.

Zhu Yan didn't know where he got his confidence, but he couldn't see that he seemed to be in control of everything, and a dark fire rose in his heart, and he couldn't help sneering: "This is the hospitality of your Hades Palace." If it is spread to the rivers and lakes, saying that the master of the Hades Palace wants to deceive the jade pendant in the hands of the child, is he not afraid of the people in the rivers and lakes laughing at him? Or do you want to erase my memory even if I know the owner of that jade pendant, and now that you've revealed your sinister intentions? Your Hades Palace is really a big business, and your behavior is really domineering and magnificent! ”

The expression on Xue Mu's face was a little strange, he didn't expect this girl to be so sharp-toothed, didn't he just want to test it? Although, he directly instructed Xiaoluo to let Zhu Yan, an eight-year-old girl, walk in directly, and he wanted to give her a little mental pressure.

Ahem, you really can't do bad things, now, I don't know how to end.

Xue Mu forced himself to return to his previous warm smile: "Don't worry about us hurting you, I was just joking with you before." ”

"Really?" Zhu Yan's eyes widened and he looked at him suspiciously.

Xue Mu nodded.

"But if you erase this memory of mine, I don't know! How will I know later if you lied to me! "Zhu Yan is a little bit inched. She also saw that the man in front of her was not as frightening as before, and she had heard Third Brother Lin preach all kinds of good things that the Hades Palace had done, so there was nothing to be afraid of, she was alone, and she was not afraid of what they had planned. Anyway, she has nothing, even if the piece of jade is still given by others.

"You...... What are the requirements? Xue Mu simply asked Zhu Yan to make his own request.

Zhu Yan thought about it and felt that it couldn't be too much after all, so he said: "I just need to go back to Yupei, and then let someone send me to Jincheng." By the way, don't erase my memory, I won't talk nonsense outside, besides, who would believe the words of a little girl? Right? ”

Xue Mu was a little crying and laughing, so why did you mess with me before? Wouldn't it be nice to say such a simple request at the beginning?

"Do you want to go now? Now that there is no mission in the temple, I am afraid that I will not be able to take you out. ”

Zhu Yan didn't believe it, could it be that so many people in the Hades Palace didn't have anything to eat? However, since the other party clearly did not let her leave in the near future, thinking that even if she really ran to Jincheng, she would have nothing to do, at least she didn't have to worry about having nothing to eat and no place to sleep here.

"By the way, you're in charge of the food, right?"

Xue Mu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhu Yan to accept that he was going to stay for a period of time without any resistance, came back to his senses, and nodded.

"Okay. Then I'll go out and find Sister Blood Rakshasa . Zhu Yan saw him nodding, and then lifted his skirt and prepared to leave.

Xue Mu looked at her back, hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something, but didn't say anything, just waved his hand to let the girl with the lantern on the side step back.

The girl saluted him before stepping back.

He stood on the edge of the railing, watching Zhu Yan go out from the door, walking back and forth, his back gradually engulfed by the twilight. It's already dark.

It always darkens very quickly in the Hades Palace. Xue Mu sighed quietly, and he was the only one left in the empty small building.

After a long time, he returned to his calm appearance, sat on the sandalwood chair and carefully checked the news from various places, found out the more important ones, made annotations and placed them separately, and put aside some things that were not too important or needed to be dealt with in a hurry.

The pure white candle had been lit on the desk at some point, and the dancing candle flame swayed the shadow that Xue Mu cast on the wall, and the figure of the man in white was buried behind the pavilion.

When Zhu Yan stood at the door of the Hades Palace, he looked back, but he couldn't see where the small building he was in before was, just like Zhu Yan had never walked into the depths. But she knew that there was a man there who was smiling all the time even when he was tired.

"What, scared silly?" Blood Rakshasa's somewhat worried voice came into his ears, making Zhu Yan couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that a woman with such a magical and weird nickname would also have such a soft and quiet voice.

"Sister, I'm fine." Zhu Yan's tone couldn't help but be low.

The Blood Rakshasa took Zhu Yan's hand and pulled her to her residence, saying as she walked: "Tonight, you can sleep with me for one night, and tomorrow I will ask Eleven to clean up a yard for you." Don't worry, the Hades Palace is still very big, so don't worry about squeezing me every day. ”

The Blood Rakshasa obviously remembered the way the two of them slept together in the carriage before, and when she arrived at her place at this time, she also wanted to do her landlord's friendship.

Zhu Yan stopped.

"Sister, did you want me to stay before? You didn't even tell me. She didn't really like her assertions, especially since their relationship wasn't good enough to make decisions for each other. But so what, she was just a girl she had taken captive, and she really didn't need to be consulted.

It's a really bad thing.

The Blood Rakshasa also paused, and the look on his face was both a little embarrassed and a little entangled and depressed.

"Xiao Yan ......"

"Look, you know what my name is without asking! It seems that I am the only one who regards you as a sister......"

The tacit understanding before coming to the Hades Hall was swept away, and Zhu Yan didn't want to leave, but was pulled away by the Blood Rakshasa with increased force.

The Blood Rakshasa took Zhu Yan back to his small courtyard.

The servants in the courtyard had already received the news of the girl's return, and the inside was cleaned, and even warm water was ready.

The Blood Rakshasa gave Zhu Yan a reassuring look, "You go to the bath with her first, and then my sister will tell you." ”

Zhu Yan was no longer the angry and depressed expression he had before, and he returned to his composure, and followed the black-clothed servant girl assigned by the Blood Rakshasa into the bath room in the courtyard.

After Zhu Yan left, the Blood Rakshasa straightened his face and said to Eleven, who had been standing in front of her and listening to her orders: "You take someone to clean up Tingxue Xuan, you don't want those old things, replace them with new ones." Tomorrow she will stay there. Well, when choosing something, remember to decorate it to the girl's liking. ”

Eleven was a little surprised, but nodded anyway and went down to order the other servants. It was the closest courtyard to Yongning Xuan, and the girl had thought about moving there before, but she didn't get Xue Mugongzi's permission, and she didn't know why the little girl got Xue Mugongzi's blue eyes.

Zhu Yan's life was actually more difficult than that of following the Lin family's caravan before. Not only is the distance several times longer, but there is only one carriage, which inevitably requires sleeping in the open air, and the Blood Rakshasa does not show any discomfort, but it does not mean that Zhu Yan can live comfortably. The Blood Rakshasa has martial arts, and its ability to resist the heat is also stronger, but Zhu Yan can't.

As soon as Zhu Yan thought that he was so sloppy and saw such a man who was as rich as jade, he felt a faint sadness about his future in the Hades Palace.

Zhu Yan sorted out his mood a little, and was led to the living room by the servant, and someone immediately brought hot tea. Obviously, deep down in his heart, he knew that the Hades Palace was just a complex of buildings hidden in the depths of the mountains and forests, but seeing the strict manners of these servants, Zhu Yan almost thought that he had arrived at the mansion of some high-ranking official.
