332, go and return
Fortunately, the rat spirit incident did not cause the people of Phoenix Town to suffer casualties, but it was just a false alarm, although the people believed her words and returned to the town one after another, they also subconsciously changed their attitude towards her, such as awe and panic in their eyes, which made her a little helpless.

After tossing for most of the night, the sky was already faintly bright, Yuan Fengqing rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, and walked back to the inn.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged couple, who also fled to the back mountain last night for refuge, and has not come back at the moment, and the house is very quiet.
Yuan Fengqing went to the room of the blood painting in the backyard first, pushed the door and saw him standing in front of the window at some point, wearing a purple robe, his black hair dancing lightly in the wind, he was happy in his heart, thinking that he had woken up, and hurriedly walked to his side, but when he turned his head, his eyes were still empty and numb, and there was no luster, no wonder he was a little disappointed.
Although she didn't understand how the blood painting walked from the bed to the window, and knew how to put on a coat, she didn't care, helped him sit back at the table, carefully pulled up his long black hair for him, fixed it with a purple hosta, and then put on a purple robe for him, and then turned around and went out to fetch water and wash his face.
But at this moment, she heard someone shouting outside the inn, "May I ask if Uncle Yuan of Cangyun Gate is inside?" ”
Yuan Fengqing was stunned for a moment, frowned and put down the basin in his hand, stretched his divine sense and went out to explore, but it was actually the four disciples of Tianxiang Valley, who went and returned for some reason, and were calling her outside the door.
And they obviously already knew their identity, which made her really unhappy.
Looking up at the sky that had gradually brightened, the morning breeze in early summer was not too hot and dry, and it was quite cool. Yuan Fengqing was thinking about whether to quietly leave with the blood painting, when he heard the sound of small footsteps from far and near, but those disciples had already entered uninvited, and were walking through the narrow alley towards the inner courtyard.
Touching his nose helplessly, Yuan Fengqing simply waited for them on the patio.
It didn't take long for the figures of the four people to appear in the field of vision, and when they saw Yuan Fengqing standing in the morning light, looking at them with a blank face, Zhao Yi's heart sank, but he still stepped forward with a smile, "It was too dark last night, and I didn't recognize that it was Uncle Yuan who saved the lives of the four of us, it really shouldn't be." Fortunately, I, Senior Brother Cheng Peng, still remembered Uncle Yuan's heroic posture in the Xianmen Martial Arts that day, so I told us. Cangyun and Tianxiang are both the heads of the top ten immortal sects, naturally they are very close, and Uncle Mengyuan saved our lives last night, so it is reasonable for us to come to the door to thank you solemnly, so as not to seem that my Tianxiang Valley does not pay attention to the number of courtesies, and go back to let the elders reprimand. ”
These words are reasonable and polite, even if Yuan Fengqing doesn't want to entangle with Tianxiang Valley too much in his heart, but he doesn't stretch out his hand and don't smile on his face, it is not easy to drive them away, so he can only nod and say, "Your nephews are too polite, don't say that Cangyun and Tianxiang Valley have always had a deep friendship, even if they are ordinary people, they will come to the rescue when they meet me last night, why be so polite?" ”
"Uncle Yuan is really righteous, which makes us admire," Zhao Yi showed a look of admiration on his face, but for some reason, Yuan Fengqing always felt that his gaze was a little evasive, as if he didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, and he didn't know why.
At this time, the owner of the inn, the middle-aged couple came back with two bulging baggage, obviously last night thought that a catastrophe was coming, and took away all the valuables at home, and now when they came back, they saw that there were so many guests in the courtyard, and they were slightly stunned, and the female shopkeeper immediately hid the burden in her hand behind her, and said with a smile, "Yo, the friend of the girl is here?" Have you had breakfast? Why don't you use it in the store, let's go make porridge on the fire, you wait in the front hall, and it will be good right away. ”
While talking, he didn't wait for Yuan Fengqing to answer, and pulled her husband towards the backyard.
Since the store has said so, Yuan Fengqing can't drive people away anymore, so he can only smile and say, "In that case, why don't you have breakfast together, you must have never eaten it." ”
"So good, very good." Although Zhao Yi responded with a smile, he felt a little nervous.
Although Yuan Fengqing didn't understand why Zhao Yi was so nervous, he didn't say much, and led the four of them back to the front hall to sit around the table, looking at each other but speechless.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Zhao Yi coughed lightly and said, "Uncle Yuan, didn't you come out alone to practice when you came to this remote place this time?" ”
"Exactly." Yuan Fengqing didn't want to say more, so he simply responded.
"Uncle Yuan, won't you go back to participate in the unfinished Xianmen Martial Arts?"
The previous Xianmen Huiwu was postponed because of the mutation in the South China Sea, and when Yuan Fengqing came out of Cangyun Gate, the various factions had not yet arrived at Cangyun Mountain to continue the Xianmen Huiwu, so they didn't know about it, and they were stunned for a moment before asking, "Has the Xianmen Huiwu started?" ”
"Yes, it only started a month ago, and it was already a team competition before."
Yuan Fengqing was a little stunned and remembered the martial arts competition before going to the South China Sea, although it was only a year apart, it seemed to be a century apart, and his thoughts did not return to reality for a long time.
Zhao Yi didn't know if he was deliberately looking for a topic, and as soon as the atmosphere was silent, he spoke again, "We only came out to travel after the competition, but we didn't expect to leave for more than two months, and we didn't arrive at the Northern Wilderness so quickly, and I also met the rat spirit to follow all the way here, but I didn't expect to meet my uncle with the same fate, it is really a blessing for three lives." ”
Yuan Fengqing looked at him, and always felt that what he said was insincere, his eyes turned slightly, and he felt that the eyes of the other disciples did not have a lot of respect when they looked at him, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
Why should they go back when they can just leave? And why do they look so unnatural?
His gaze involuntarily turned to the other two disciples sitting beside Zhao Yi, they didn't dodge the eyes that looked at him, but the anger flickering in his eyes was obvious, and it didn't look like they were sincerely thanking him.
After figuring out this layer, Yuan Fengqing quietly lifted the teapot on the table, poured a cup for everyone, and when handing over the tea, except for Zhao Yi who stood up and took the teacup, his attitude was quite respectful and humble, the rest of the disciples sat and waited for her to hand the teacup in front of her, and did not even say "thank you", which shows that the purpose of their return is not simple, at least it is not a good thing!
After putting down the teapot, Yuan Fengqing said, "Since you are guests from afar, it is better to wait until breakfast is finished before leaving, this meal is recorded in my account to show the friendship between Cangyun and Tianxiang, I still have some important things to do, so I will leave first." ”
Seeing her get up to leave, Zhao Yi hurriedly said, "Uncle Yuan, please stay." ”
The eyebrows were slightly raised, and Yuan Fengqing looked at him, his eyes were unwavering, and he couldn't see any joy or anger.
"That's the case, we heard that the rat spirit is not alone, so we went and returned, and we are also afraid that the rat spirit's companions will hate the people of Phoenix Town and hurt the innocent, but our cultivation is limited, and we are afraid that we are not the opponent of the rat spirit, so we have to ask Uncle Yuan to take action again!" Zhao Yi's gaze was quite sincere, but the panic at the bottom of her eyes still fell into Yuan Fengqing's eyes, which made her feel real.
