The sky is still so blue, the clouds are still so soft, the breeze blows, blowing away the clouds but not parting, there is no sadness, some are just reluctant and worried.

Zhen Tianxiong stuffed a bottle carved from white jade into Xia Xue'er's hand, looked at her eyes seriously and instructed, "There are ten souls in it, you can take it with you." ”

Xia Xue'er looked down at the white jade vial in her hand, stared at it for a few seconds, and then returned it to Zhen Tianxiong, and said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm afraid this apprentice will never be used again." ”

Zhentianxiong frowned, and the majestic aura instantly swept the surrounding people, and said: "You are too obsessed, you really don't feel at ease as a teacher, so let's take it with you, just in case you need it." ”

Xia Xue'er smiled and replied: "Master, don't worry, the Xia Xue'er standing in front of you now is neither the Xia Xue'er of your childhood nor the Xia Xue'er of ten days ago, and now that the heart disease of the apprentice has been removed, how can you talk about obsession?" ”

Zhentianxiong couldn't resist Xia Xue'er, indeed as she said, the current Xia Xue'er was a Xia Xue'er he had never seen before, so smart and transparent, exuding a heroic spirit all over his body, of course he believed in his apprentice, so he nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good." ”

Su Qi looked at the sky and saw that the sky was already white, and the morning sun had slowly risen, and he stepped forward to give a salute to Zhentianxiong and said, "The hour is not early, junior sister still has a long way to go, it's time to go." ”

Zhentianxiong stroked Xia Xue'er's shoulder, and said reluctantly, "Let's go." ”

Xia Xue'er knelt down and bowed to Zhentianxiong, holding back her tears and said: "I don't know when the apprentice will be able to meet the master when he leaves this time, I hope the master will take care!" ”

Zhen Tianxiong stroked his long beard with one hand and waved his sleeve robe with the other and said, "Go ahead, don't forget the advice that your teacher gave you." ”

Three fast horses galloped away against the rising sun, kicking up puffs of dust.

Zhen Tianxiong looked at Xia Xue'er's distant figure, his heart was mixed, and he said to himself: "Xue'er, the future will depend on yourself, you must be careful to deal with it!" ”

A white shadow fell from a large tree behind Earthquake Heaven, standing steadily beside him.

"If Senior Brother is so worried, why do you want to let her go back?"

Zhen Tianxiong's eyes were still staring at the distant apprentice, and after sighing, he replied: "What's the use of worrying, although Xue'er is Yulan's daughter, she is also Xia Qingxuan's daughter, she has her own life to live, her own way to go, Xue'er is not a thing in the pool, she will not stay in my small Netherworld Valley for the rest of her life, since I know this, why should I forcibly keep it." ”

The man in white sighed and said, "Having said that, it's really weird that such an excellent martial arts wizard has quietly lost his martial arts, even the strange poisonous senior brother in the little girl can't see what the way is, who knows what else she will encounter when she goes back this time!" ”

Zhen Tianxiong's eyes were firm, and he replied, "Even so, I can't hold her down for the rest of my life." ”

The man in white looked at the figure that had disappeared at the bend of the mountain, and waited for the dust to settle before he slowly spit out a sentence: "Hey, I understand my senior brother's thoughts, everything is difficult to love a word!" ”

After being silent for a long time, Zhen Tianxiong turned his head to look at the man in white and said, "After all, I don't specialize in using poison, and I have to ask the third child to come back for this matter." ”

The man in white looked surprised, and blurted out incredulously: "Third junior brother? It's not that you don't know him, since Shizun drove the crane west, he has been wandering around, and he has not returned for several years, let alone the slightest news back, how can you expect him! ”

Zhen Tianxiong looked into the distance, thought for a moment before he spoke: "Shizun's death is a dead knot in his heart, but Xue'er is not an outsider after all, I think he will come back." ”

The man in white did not speak, but also looked into the distance, as if he was remembering something.

Su Qi escorted the two outside the city, and Xia Xue'er saluted Su Qi and said, "Senior Brother Xie sent him all the way, and asked me to take care of the old man in the future." ”

Su Qi replied: "Senior sister, don't worry. ”

"Senior brother, take care!"

"Senior sister cherishes!"

Su Qi watched the two of them enter the city, and only after the figure completely disappeared into the lively street did he ruthlessly leave the horse. The kraft candy that used to follow him in a fart-like way seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

Seeing the magnificent gate of Xia Mansion again, Xia Xue'er felt a lot of emotion in her heart, only after experiencing life and death and parting and seeing clearly the qiē beside her, she found that she had already quietly sprouted true feelings for this place, and regarded this place as a belonging, as a harbor.

I have been away from home for more than half a month, and I don't know if my father and mother are good.

"Xianglan, go knock on the door."

"Yes!"

The little guy who opened the door was still squinting listlessly, but when he saw that the third lady who had been missing for more than half a month was standing at the door, he turned his head and shouted in joy: "The third miss is back!" The third lady is back! ”

For a while, the people who were cleaning and passing by all put down their work one by one, stopped their hurried steps, and cheered happily, and the news soon spread throughout the entire Xia Mansion. Not long after, Mrs. Xia came to the courtyard with the support of Mama Gui. As soon as she saw Xia Xue'er, she took her hand with tears in her eyes and said, "My son, you are back!" ”

Xia Xue'er looked at her mother's emaciated figure, hurriedly knelt down, tears slid down her cheeks and fell to the ground, and said apologetically: "It's my daughter's unfilial piety, which makes my mother worried." ”

Mama Gui looked at everyone's tears, and she was also in tears, so she hurriedly bent over to help Xia Xue'er and said, "Miss, get up quickly, just come back, just come back!" ”

Afterwards, Xia Xue'er went to see the old lady with her mother, and roughly talked about her experience in the past half a month, but the part of the Netherworld Valley and the part that returned to the 21st century were hidden, and replaced it with a chivalrous warrior who came to the rescue, kindly healed her injuries, drove away water ghosts, and healed heart diseases. After chatting for a while, I went back to my room to rest.

As soon as she entered the Yuxuan, Xia Xue'er saw Dongmei, Cuizhu, and Qiu Ju standing at the door with a brush, and their faces were full of joy. ”

These people can be said to be the first people Xia Xue'er knew in this world, and they are also one of the people who are most concerned about today, and now I can still see them, my heart is really warm! Holding back tears, he grinned and said, "It's sweet for you!" I'm not lazy these days? ”

Several people hugged Xia Xue'er into the house, and said as they walked: "How dare the slaves and maids, they clean diligently every day, even if the young lady suddenly comes back one day, it will be dirty!" ”

Today's Tingyuxuan is never more lively, laughter envelops the whole house, even the flowing air is sweet, and the sunset is more colorful!

Xia Xue'er looked at the qiē in front of her, and said silently in her heart: Jiang Qingtian, you don't have to worry, I'm doing well here!

In the early morning of the next day, a father-in-law came to the palace, who came with the emperor's holy decree, Xia Xue'er was still a little apprehensive when she first learned about it, and suspected that the emperor had sent someone to ask about the crime. Unexpectedly, he just said some soothing words and rewarded Xia Xue'er with a good jade Ruyi, which means to suppress the fright and drive away evil spirits, and everything goes well. After Xia Xue'er received the order, Mrs. Xia said a few polite words and gave her father-in-law a reward.

The front foot sent off the father-in-law, and the back foot arrived at Tingyuxuan in the summer, and asked anxiously: "Is the third sister okay?" ”

Xia Xue'er hurriedly got up to greet her, and replied with a smile: "My sister is safe and sound, but Brother Lao is worried." ”

Xia Qi walked around Xia Xue'er, and after taking a closer look, he let go of his frowning brows and breathed a sigh of relief.

This year, the border is in turmoil, the war is tight, in the summer, Qi as a soldier, and the emperor appreciated, naturally the emperor was trapped in the palace every day to discuss countermeasures, today it is rare for the emperor to let him go early, he was still suspicious. Walking out of the palace gate, he met the little eunuch beside the emperor and said to him with a smile: "Congratulations to Xia Langzhong!" "In the summer, Qi is even more confused by the second monk.

"I don't know what my father-in-law said?"

"Yo, presumably Xia Langzhong doesn't know yet, I got the news early in the morning, and Ling Mei has arrived home safely!"

"Is that true?"

"It's true, I guess the emperor's holy decree has also arrived in your mansion!"

As soon as Xia Qi heard this, he thanked his father-in-law and sped up his pace, and as soon as he got out of the palace, he hurried back to his home, and he didn't bother to go up to ask his mother for peace and rushed directly into Tingyuxuan, the third sister really sat in the house dignifiedly, and the heart that had been carried for half a month was half gone.

Xia Qi said with guilt: "I have made my sister suffer these days, and it is really my responsibility as a big brother." ”

Xia Xue'er looked at the self-blame that was deeply imprinted in Xia Qi's eyes, and a warm current instantly moistened her heart, and her eyes turned red unconsciously. This is the power of family affection, which can make calm people become nervous, and make cautious people instantly mess up. She knew that in this case, she couldn't let the tears in her eyes flow freely, because even if they were moving tears, they would become grievances in her brother's eyes, which would only deepen her brother's guilt and self-blame for her, and she felt even more sorry for her.

Taking a deep breath, adjusting his affection, he bloomed a smile that was more dazzling than the summer sun, and comforted: "Brother doesn't have to feel guilty, my little sister is fine, and she hasn't suffered any unfair treatment." ”

Although Xia Qi had confirmed that his sister was safe and sound, the doubts in his heart had not been alleviated by half a point, and this qiē was still waiting for him to investigate carefully.

"I heard that the third sister has met a chivalrous person?"

Xia Xue'er stood up and poured Xia Qi a cup of tea, and said slowly: "It was indeed a chivalrous man who traveled all over the world to rescue, and Xue'er was able to be safe and sound." ”

"Then this chivalrous man is really a noble man in Xia Mansion, I don't know his honorable name, if you have the fate to meet in the future, thank him for saving him that day."

"It's just that the hero didn't want to tell others his name, and I didn't force it after a few inquirings to no avail. Later, this chivalrous man took me to a mountain forest to recuperate from my wounds, and also cleaned my body of cruelty, what a nobleman! ”

To be honest, Xia Xue'er really never thought of completely investigating the matter of falling into the lake earlier, because at that time, it seemed to her that this was just a foolish thing that Xia Qiaoyun did because of jealousy. But after going to the Netherworld Valley, she has realized that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, from the poison in Xia Xue'er, you can see how cruel and ruthless the real murderer behind the scenes is, it is a strange poison that even her master has never seen, so it seems that someone really wants to put her to death. Since it is no longer a simple jealousy, then she must find out the culprit behind the scenes, after all, she has decided to spend the rest of her life in this world, so such a time bomb must not be buried by her side forever.

After all, Xia Xue'er is just a girl and is in this deep-walled compound, and the depth and breadth of the investigation have been greatly limited, but Xia Qi is different, he is not only meticulous and exquisite, but also has a wide range of popularity, so it is appropriate to hand over this matter to him for investigation!

As expected, Xia Qi squirted out all the tea he had just drunk when he heard this, and asked in shock, "Poisonous?" When did the third sister get poisoned? How is it poisoned? ”

Xia Xue'er hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it over, and replied without concealment: "On the day it fell into the Blue Lotus Pond, I don't remember the specific details." ”

Xia Qi frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Does the third sister remember any suspicious people or what she ate before she was poisoned?" ”

Xia Xue'er shook her head helplessly and said, "I don't remember." ”

Xia Qi's heart was in a mess after hearing this, and he really didn't have a clue at all, how should he check this? But no matter how difficult it is, he must rise to the challenge and give his sister an explanation!

But at this moment, in addition to the shock, Xia Qi's heart was even more turbulent with anger! As the eldest young master of Xia Mansion and Xia Xue'er's eldest brother, he has never heard of this matter! If it weren't for my sister talking about it today, it is estimated that he would have to be kept in the dark for the rest of his life, and he would never know that this seemingly undisturbed Xia Mansion is actually a turbulent undercurrent! How dare those villains secretly do such a sinister and vicious thing to his sister! Now it seems that the falling water must be man-made, how many things are there that he doesn't know? Because the anger in his heart was too strong and his hand was too strong, he unconsciously crushed the white porcelain tea cup in his hand, and even Xia Xue'er on the side couldn't help but be taken aback.

The previous first confrontation with Xia Qiaoyun by the Qinglian Pond made Xia Xue'er only sure that Xia Qiaoyun pushed her into the Qinglian Pond, and she couldn't be sure that the poisoner was Xia Qiaoyun. Moreover, judging from Xia Qiaoyun's appearance that day, it would be impossible for such a bad psychological element to be ruthless enough to be so poisonous, after all, Xia Xue'er before was not a fool, no matter how much she believed in her sister, she would be puzzled when she looked at her abnormality! It's just that the current Xia Xue'er is not the original Xia Xue'er, without those memories from before, where should she start?
