Chapter 56: Suspicion of Identity
"I didn't ask much before...... Xue Yuan's surname is Xue, I don't know...... Can it be related to the Xue family in Mianzhou, one of the four major families?"
Fang Ye suddenly asked this question, which made Xue Yun stunned for a moment.
Although Feng Xue and Li Tang are called the four great families on the Kyushu continent, not all the surnames of these four surnames are from the four great families, and there are always some who happen to have the same surname but are not of the same clan, and people have long been used to it. Normally, when the children of the family are walking outside, they will directly state their origin when they report their names to show their identity, for example, when the children of the Xue family introduce themselves to others, they will "Mianzhou Xue Family Xue Moumou". Most of the other people with the surname Xue who don't have this prefix have nothing to do with the four great families, but just happen to have the same surname.
When she first left Mianzhou, Xue Yun was worried that she would be noticed by the Xue family if she rashly revealed her name, and when she met Lu Yan in Loucheng, she used the name "Li Yun". After gradually discovering that the Xue family didn't care about her life or death, she rarely changed her name to other pseudonyms when she avoided the main cities of the major families.
Before Fang Ye opened her mouth to ask, she had only been questioned by Chen Ting and Qishan when she was in Su Zhen, and in other cases, when she only called herself "Xue Yuan" and not "Xue Yuan of the Xue family in Mianzhou", most people would not think that she had anything to do with the Xue family, one of the four great families.
Xue Yu quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "The Xue family in Mianzhou is one of the four great families, what a beautiful scenery, but it has nothing to do with me. ”
She wasn't wrong.
Xue Yuan of the Xue family in Mianzhou has died, and now Xue Yuan is the daughter of Xue Yu.
Fang Ye smiled slightly, picked up the teacup on the table and toasted Xue Yun with tea instead of wine, and couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.
Ling Xia, who was sitting next to Xue Yuan, frowned after hearing Fang Ye's question, and turned her head to see that Xue Yuan's gaze seemed to have changed a little.
Xue Yun was silent on his face, but he was secretly thinking about it in his heart.
Fang Ye and Ling Xia, do they have any grievances with the Xue family? Looking at Liang Rao's reaction...... It really doesn't look like ordinary curiosity.
"In this way, I am presumptuous, and I hope Xue Yuan will not be surprised. ”
"No, no, no. Xue Yun raised the teacup: "It's not that no one else has asked, it's not strange." ”
Fang Ye smiled and sighed as if inadvertently, "Get up...... The four great families of Feng, Xue, Li and Tang on the Kyushu Continent have been closely linked for thousands of years, so do you know why?"
"Oh?" Xue Yun raised his eyebrows: "Fang Ye knows, I'm also very curious about this, and I'd like to hear about it." ”
Xue Yu really didn't know much about this matter, even if she was from the four great families.
She knows that the four great families of Fengxue, Li and Tang have had a close relationship since the generation of their ancestors, and she knows that the four great families have been in contact with each other and are in-laws, and many of their children are related to each other, such as her and Li Yanran. She also knew that the official formation of the four great families and the unshakable position on the Kyushu continent was due to the righteous act of uniting together to resolve the disaster in the Kyushu catastrophe seven thousand years ago.
More, she doesn't know.
But now, this Fang Ye, who only met today and seems to have a lot of mysteries on his body, knows something, what does she not know?
"Like, it's a common secret, right?"
"Secret?" Xue Yuan's eyes widened, and he was a little surprised in his heart.
Although Xue Yun was extremely curious, there were no more Fang Ye sitting opposite: "I'm just guessing." ”
Xue Yun didn't think that he was "just guessing".
However, Fang Ye didn't give Xue Yun a chance to ask, and changed the topic to ask about another matter: "Listen to Xia, Xue Yun has something to ask her? If there is someone we can help, Xue Yuan just spoke. ”
If it wasn't for Fang Ye to mention it at this time, Xue Yun had almost forgotten the "problem" he had thought of earlier.
"Actually, it's nothing. Xue Yun smiled naturally, and turned to look at Ling Xia, who had been eating silently without saying a word: "Before, in the Danfang of Huocheng Treasure Pavilion, I happened to see some spirit grass that Ling Xia brought to exchange, and I was a little interested and wanted to ask more. ”
Ling Xia was suddenly asked about this, but her first reaction was to glance at Fang Ye.
Fang Ye pursed his lips and sighed softly.
Xue Yuan was not affected by Liang Rao's reaction, and continued: "If I am not mistaken, there seem to be two hundred-year-old streamer grass there?"
Ling Xia put down her chopsticks and glanced at Fang Ye again before replying, "Yes, you want Streamer Grass?"
Xue Yun shook his head: "No, I'm looking for ...... Streamer Fireflies. ”
"Streamer Firefly?" "Looking at Xue Yuan's appearance, it doesn't look like someone who is looking for this kind of thing that is useless and can only be watched.
"A few years ago, my father brought me two streamers as gifts. When I saw it in Huocheng before, I recalled it for a while, and I was a little worried. Come on, it's not a big deal. ”
Ling Xia nodded, thought for a moment before saying, "I didn't pay attention to whether there was any trace of the streamer firefly there, I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to find ......."
"No, I don't. Xue Yun shook his head: "Don't bother, I'll also ask, if you can, just go and see for yourself." In fact, the mountain range on the border of Qiaozhou in Cangzhou has the most and best flowing grass, but it is now sealed. I didn't know much about Naught before, but I didn't know that there was also a streamer grass here in Naught. ”
"Is there something going on at the border of Cangzhou and Qiaozhou?" asked loudly, but it was not Ling Xia but Fang Ye.
"Well, the Feng family is the leader, and the Tang family and the Xuanqing Gate have joined forces, and they have sealed that realm. ”
"Feng family, Tang family?" Skipping the Xuanqing Gate, Fang Ye muttered twice, as if thoughtful.
Seeing this, the doubts in Xue Yuan's heart became stronger and stronger.
Fang Ye and Ling Xia didn't ask any more questions, Ling Xia and Xue Yun detailed the two places where there was a streamer grass in the territory of the two recalcitrant states, and they didn't mention any other topics at this dinner.
After the color darkened, the rain that had been foggy before suddenly became heavier, and in the pouring rain, the outside world under the dim color could no longer be easily seen.
In addition to himself and Ling Xia's, Fang Ye also had a wooden house here, so he politely kept Xue Yun for the night.
Xue Yun hesitated.
On the one hand, she felt that Fang Ye was a little complicated, especially the other party seemed to have doubts about her identity somehow, but on the other hand, she hadn't asked about Qingyun Jue and Qingyun Dan.
In the end, Xue Yun nodded and decided to stay, and temporarily lived in the vacant one of the three wooden houses.
The wooden house is simple or even crude, but it is very clean.
It's just that Xue Yun sat at the table in neat clothes, frowning and unable to relax.
She followed Ling Xia all the way to finally come here, looking for clues about Yuan Che or Shangguan Miao, but she didn't want to ......
Fang Ye may indeed have something to do with Qingyun Jue Qingyun Dan, but it is a little more complicated than what Xue Yun had guessed or expected before.
Fang Ye's body's spiritual power was shattered and his cultivation was lost, Xue Yun later carefully observed and thought about it, combined with Ling Xia's behavior of constantly exchanging a large amount of Qingyun Dan, the biggest possibility was that the meridians were shattered.
Yuan Che's stealing of the hidden danger of flaws will have an impact on the cultivators.
If Xue Yuan's guess was correct, Fang Ye was different from Ling Xia in that he had a problem with spiritual roots, and later because of his cultivation of Yuan Che's Pure Essence Technique, he was finally able to embark on the path of cultivation like others and become a cultivator who cultivated in his body. According to the various news that Xue Yun heard, it should have been some years since Fang Ye's body was ruined by a problem, but until now, the spiritual power lingering on his body can still be clearly detected, most likely because Fang Ye's cultivation had reached a relatively good height before everything was destroyed, and from this point it was inferred that Fang Ye's cultivation should be really good except for the problem of spiritual roots.
But the good times didn't last long, and I don't know what happened halfway, so that Fang Ye couldn't take enough Qingyun Pill when he was cultivating to break through and urgently needed Qingyun Pill to stabilize and nourish the affected meridians.
The reason why I think that this is more likely than Fang Ye accidentally being seriously injured and damaging the meridians is based on the fact that Ling Xia is still constantly exchanging Qingyun Pills for Fang Ye to this day, or is there a huge number of Qingyun Pills, how does this behavior look like she is still trying to make up for it after missing the opportunity.
If so......
Xue Yuan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, took a few deep breaths, calmed down as much as possible, calmed down and continued to think and analyze.
If Fang Ye really damaged his meridians because he failed to take the Qingyun Pill in time and became what they are now, and became the "waste" in those people's mouths, then whether he knew that Yuan Che's Qingyun Recipe was a stolen remnant, and whether he knew the existence of the Shangguan family and the real book, it would be two completely different situations......
Fang Ye's attitude when he suddenly suspected her identity for some reason......
Fang Ye mentioned the "speculation" that the four major families "jointly kept secrets......
Perhaps, he is aware of chatting.
Although everyone on the Kyushu continent knows that Yuan Che is a guest of the Feng family, Qingyun Dan is also monopolized by the Feng family, and the other three major families are also involved in the business of Qingyun Dan, not many people know about it, but it does not mean that there are no Sakura
If you think about it in this direction, Fang Ye's "secret" refers to Yuan Che's misappropriation of the Qingyun Technique, and the Qingyun Dan's business has tied up every one of the four great families, then it is understandable that Fang Ye suddenly changed his attitude towards her surnamed Xue.
After all, it can be regarded as "having a grudge".
It's just that......
Thinking about the past, it seems that some places are not smooth......
First, she exchanged names with Fang Ye Ling Xia when she came to Fang Ye's residence on the way, when Fang Ye heard her own surname Xue, because she didn't hear the prefix of "Mianzhou Xue Family", she didn't think much about it. After that, what was there that made him suddenly wonder about her origins?
Second, although Fang Ye's attitude changed after he suspected that she was from the Xue family, Xue Yun didn't feel any hostility when he thought about it carefully.
Third, when Fang Ye was talking about the "secrets" of the four great families, his tone was flat, and he couldn't hear any resentment and anger......
Except for the neighbors, if the remaining two points were not hidden too deeply by Fang Ye, they would really be a little incomprehensible.
Plus......
Xue Yuan, who was quiet, remembered the strange feeling she had when she stepped into this shabby-looking courtyard......
She felt that she had overlooked something, something very important.
......
On the other side, Ling Xia did not rest in her wooden house, but quietly entered Fang Ye's room and set up a soundproof barrier.
In the room, Fang Ye sat quietly at the table, stroking the back of Xue Tuan'er, who was lying in his arms and refused to leave, and next to the teapot on the table, there were two cups full of tea soup.
Apparently, he was also waiting for her to come.
Ling Xia was not surprised by this, her face, which had always been cold, also relaxed a little after entering the door, revealing some rare warmth.
She sat down at the table and glanced coldly at Xue Tuan'er, who was squinting comfortably in Fang Ye's arms.
Xue Tuan'er seemed to feel this gaze, her body trembled, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Ling Xia sitting at the table holding a tea cup and drinking tea, and after humming twice, she buried her head in the placket of Fang Ye's clothes.
Ling Xia's fingers clenched the teacup.
"Throw it out. Ling Xia said calmly: "Next, we have to get down to business." ”
The snow ball in Fang Ye's arms seemed to understand, and a pair of claws stretched out at once, slamming Fang Ye's clothes tightly.
Ling Xia: "......"
Fang Ye looked at Ling Xia's trembling eyebrows and couldn't help but chuckle: "It's okay. ”
Ling Xia took a breath and turned her eyes away: "...... What did you find? Who is she?"
"Hmm...... At least 70% sure. ”
Ling Xia silently put down the teacup and clenched her fists: "That's ......"
......
Xue Yuan, who was alone in the wooden house in the guest house, finally thought of the point that she had not been able to remember before.
The cluster was not too far from the place where Ling Xia and Senior Brother He had a conflict, that Senior Brother He was obviously very unaccustomed to Ling Xia, and even had the intention of getting rid of it quickly, even Xue Tuan'er's velvet rabbit could be held in his hand to stimulate Ling Xia......
Then, what about Fang Ye, who doesn't live far away?
Fang Ye's importance to Ling Xia was definitely far greater than that of Xue Tuan'er.
But Senior Brother He, they didn't bother Fang Ye.
Is it for fear of provoking Ling Xia desperately and not daring to look for it, or is it ...... Can't find it?
Xue Yun recalled that she was led to the vicinity of the courtyard by Fang Ye, and when she stepped in, she was faintly aware of the difference and the sudden inexplicable familiarity...
I'm afraid that this humble courtyard is not simple! What is arranged, either it can make Senior Brother He and them afraid but dare not approach, or it can make them undetectable and unable to approach.
Judging from their attitude towards Ling Xia, Xue Yun was more inclined to the latter!
Fang Ye is not a simple person! he is by no means a simple, victim of Yuan Che Qingyun!
Xue Yuan's heart jumped suddenly, and he couldn't help but stand up from the table, his whole body tense.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the hut.
Xue Yun was taken aback, and then walked over with many worries in her heart, with a slightly puzzled smile on her face, and when she opened the door, she saw Ling Xia standing outside the door, in the rain curtain pouring behind her, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, her face was covered in shadows, and she couldn't see clearly.
"Xue Yuan. I don't know if it's Xue Yuan's illusion, Ling Xia's voice was a little cold: "Fight." ”
