The old man's expression was no longer smiling at the moment, but his face was serious.

Nangong Xue on the side seemed to understand what the master said at the moment, looking at Xiusi with a look full of anticipation, but looking at the old man with a look of 'excitement'.

Although Mu 'Lu' on the side still couldn't understand what the old man said, from Nangong Xue's expression, he seemed to have guessed something, and immediately muttered in his heart.

Seeing the old man's serious expression, Xiusi realized at this moment that the old man was not deliberately testing himself just now, and it seemed that what the old man was going to say next must not be simple.

"Senior, you say, although I am not a general, but I am by no means an ordinary person, so as long as the seniors 'handover' the generation, I will do my best. ”

Xiusi was giving the old man confidence, but seeing the old man's expression, he seemed to have never questioned his strength, and he seemed very calm and trusting.

"Lin Gongzi, the reason I came to ask for today is to ask Lin Gongzi to protect my apprentice Xiaoxue. ”

As soon as the old man's words came out, even Xiusi was stunned for a while, only to see that Xiusi's expression was a little sluggish at this moment, and he looked at Nangong Xue on the side for a long time, and then he came back to his senses and looked at the old man, full of questions.

Nangong Xue's expression was also slightly strange, and a slight ruddy appeared here on top of that cold expression at this moment.

Mu 'Lu' is heart for a while really like this, although he didn't fully guess what the old man said, but at this moment it sounded even if it was not 100%, but it was also ** not far from ten, always one of the beautiful 'girl' on the other side had a relationship, Mu 'Lu' thought about it and couldn't help but snort coldly, squinting at Xiusi beside him, as if he was putting pressure and deterrence on Xiusi.

However, at this moment, where did Xiusi have the leisure time to notice the strange 'color' of Mu 'Lu' beside him.

"Senior, Nangong girl's cultivation is profound, and she is a person who cultivates both cultivation techniques, so the juniors don't understand why the seniors want me to protect the Nangong girl, and the seniors are very profound, I think although there are many strong people in Tangling, there are only a few people who want to easily hurt Nangong girl in front of their seniors. ”

There was a series of doubts and 'confusion' in Xiusi's heart, and at this moment he asked the old man.

The old man listened to Hughes's words, but only nodded, but did not deny what Hughes said.

"Although what you said is very reasonable, but in this matter, it is out of helplessness that I asked Lin Gongzi for help, because in this matter it is beyond my ability, it cannot be solved simply by ability, and Lin Gongzi's cultivation will only be higher than the old decay and not low. ”

The old man did not explain the reason for the details, but just said it in such a general way.

Xiusi was suspicious, first of all, how did the old man know that he was in Chaoge? Secondly, with the old man's cultivation, there were few people who wanted to break ground in front of him, but even so, he had to 'hand' over the matter of protecting Nangong Xue to himself, and thirdly, what happened to Nangong Xue?

"Lin Gongzi, it is inconvenient to talk about this matter here, Xiaoxue will explain it to you in the future, but the old man will not embarrass Lin Gongzi, if Lin Gongzi refuses, the old man has no complaints. ”

The old man's words were very sincere, but Nangong Xue's expression was full of expectation.

Xius hesitated for a moment at this moment, he was not hesitating whether to agree to the old man's matter, but hesitating to think about the possible situation.

Seeing Xiusi's hesitant expression, Nangong Xue couldn't help but feel anxious, but the old man next to him had obviously noticed Nangong Xue's expression at the moment, so don't worry even if he shook his head slightly.

Nangong Xue understood, so she had to suppress the anxiety in her heart.

Xius's hesitation is good news for Mu 'Lu', at least Xius will not agree so easily to protect this beautiful 'girl', and if he stays with this 'girl' often in the future, he doesn't know what will happen

"Oh, what the hell am I trying to write?"

Mu 'Lu' thought about it and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and his pretty face was inexplicably smeared with a few wisps of halo 'color', and his head hung slightly as if he was avoiding the eyes of others, and his heart was also jumping like a deer at the moment.

But at this moment, the other three obviously didn't have the heart to pay attention to Mu 'Lu''s strange behavior.

"In this way, the juniors are agreeing, presumably the seniors also have their own difficulties, but the juniors want to 'figure out' a little bit, why did Nangong girl encounter such a situation?"

Xiusi agreed at this moment, Mu 'Lu' looked stunned, and then his face changed, but Nangong Xue, who was anxiously waiting, was overjoyed, and his eyes were cold when he looked at Xiusi, and the old man's serious expression at the moment once again 'revealed' a trace of a smile and nodded.

"Identity and ability. ”

The old man said simply.

"Identity?ability?"

Seeing the old man say this, Xius was stunned again, and finally muttered, but Xiusi could only understand one of these two points.

For Nangong Xue's ability, Xiusi felt that it was very likely to encounter this situation, after all, the person who could cultivate the power of fighting qi and mind in the same body on the Tanglin Continent was the first person in Nangong Xue, although he was in Xuan' The Yin Valley Realm can also have this ability, but it is all cultivated, so compared to people with innate ability like Nangong Xue, there is still a certain gap, and having this ability will naturally attract the attention of many people, among which there must be a lot of strength to use every possible means to get Nangong Xue so as to 'grope' out the slightest clue from it, after all, the pursuit of strength can be described as a kind of madness for cultivators on the Tanglin Continent, especially those who have cultivated to a high level.

However, as for the identity of Nangong Xue mentioned by the old man, Xiusi was extremely incomprehensible.

"In that case, senior, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to protect the safety of Miss Nangong. ”

Xiusi didn't ask any more questions at this moment, and waited until he found an appropriate time to ask Nangong Xue.

The old man couldn't help but nodded, not as 'excited' as Nangong Xue.

"Xiaoxue, that's all the master can help you do, in the future, you will listen to Lin Gongzi's words, and you won't be like in Tanglin Academy in front of Lin Gongzi, you know?"

The old man said to Nangong Xue at this time.

Nangong Xue couldn't help but nodded hurriedly when she heard this, but then her face turned red, and the original frost expression suddenly unloaded, Xiusi couldn't help but be surprised, secretly thinking that this Nangong Xue's previous frost expression could not be pretended? Thinking about it, Xiusi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

"Lin Gongzi, I made you laugh at the beginning. ”

Nangong Xue looked at Xiusi and smiled a little embarrassedly and said.

"Uh, hehe, you have your own troubles. ”

Xiusi couldn't help but smile a little helplessly and said.

But Namu 'Lu' was already rolling his eyes at Xiusi, and his heart was even more angry and muttered angrily at Xiusi.

Nangong Xue and the old man of the Sword Sect appeared back then, and all the purposes of Xiusi today were 'messed up', and the old man didn't tell his name before leaving, but he emphasized a few points with Nangong Xue again.

Xiusi can obviously see a little reluctance from Nangong Xue's expression, but Xiusi also has a lot of discomfort in his heart, this discomfort comes from Nangong Xue, and suddenly he was added to such a burden, and now what he cares about is no longer his own safety and this Nangong Xue, he sighed after thinking for a while, but he didn't say anything.

and Mu 'Lu' led Nangong Xue into the Mu family, and under Mu Shuang's arrangement, Nangong Xue lived in the Mu family, so Xiu Si was afraid that it was impossible to leave Chaoge for a while.

But Mu 'Lu' is very happy with the gains and losses in this, this Xiusi protects Nangong Xue to stay in Chaoge for a while, which is inexplicable good news for her, and she is happy and shy in her heart.

"Haha, boy, your 'glamorous' blessing is not shallow. ”

At night, Ji Fa and the two of them sat idly in the courtyard at the moment, and they were still fighting in the imperial city last night, but at this moment, the situation was very different.

Ji Fa didn't damage Xiusi during the day, but no one at night still didn't think about letting Xius go.

Xiusi smiled bitterly in his heart, looked at Ji Fa and said.

"What kind of 'door' is this called. ”

There was helplessness in his tone.

"Hehe, don't talk about the Nangong Xue you brought back today, it's the two sisters of the Mu family, I look at it, I haven't seen it before, you kid is a big and small eater, I'm sorry, it's too beastly." ”

Ji Fa looked very uneven, but his expression was full of evil smiles.

Hughes looked disdainful.

"Don't you want to 'mess around', beware of me telling Zizhu to listen to this, oops, I don't know what effect this will have. ”

Ji Fa listened to the cold 'excited' spirit, and thought about looking around.

"Hehe, if you're a brother enough, you won't do that, right? ”

Ji Fa smiled and patted Xius on the shoulder, looking like a brother and a good buddy.

Xiusi couldn't help laughing dumbly, Xiusi didn't despise Ji Fa's behavior, but appreciated it even more, Ji Fa's fear of Zizhu's behavior was not really afraid, but Ji Fa cared too much about the hard-won feelings between Zizhu and him, a man who values feelings is also the most praiseworthy man for Xiusi, but compared to Ji Fa's self, Xiusi couldn't help but feel depressed and not easy, and his expression suddenly darkened, I was afraid that he would never be like Ji Fa, from the last life to this life, he was always in arrearsThe feelings of the 'female', Xiaocui in the last life, Ziyue in this life, and Huangpu Agarwood, all of these are still a knot that is difficult to untie.

"But brother, I'm telling the truth, the sisters of the Mu family are definitely interesting to you, and the Nangong Xue you brought back a few days ago, although I can't see a little bit of the 'door' in my eyes for the time being, but it's the so-called long-term love, you kid be careful in the future."

Ji Fa's expression was slightly correct at this moment, and he said, although the words were like this, there was no hint of joke in his tone.

Xiusi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, without words, but what he remembered was Zi Yuelai, who had been separated for two years, and there was a kind of sad thought in his heart for a while, perhaps, his judgment was wrong at the beginning, and this moment has verified his true emotions.

"Hey"

Hughes sighed bitterly.

Two days passed in a hurry, and the Mu family still didn't come back, and Jiang Shang, who Ji Fa had always wanted to meet, was not able to return to the Mu family, and Ji Fa felt a little regretful in his heart.

"Xius, don't you know when you will be able to see each other again?"

Ji Fa's face was full of reluctance, looking at this Xiu Si who had accompanied him in the Xuan 'Yin' Valley Realm during that time, and said with a friendly face.

It was the first time for Xiusi to see Ji Fa's demeanor, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then smiled dumbly.

"It's a long time coming, although Tanglin is big, but the distance between you and my brothers is not widened because of the size of Donglin. ”

Xiusi said earnestly, there was also reluctance between his expressions, but more helplessness, although the two were brothers with different surnames, the paths they had to walk were very different.

Ji Fa has his own lofty goals in the future, to overthrow the power of the Southern Shang Empire, but Xiusi likes to be alone and has no interest in this kind of thing.

Ji Fa smiled bitterly and nodded, but he didn't know what to say at the moment.

Mu 'Lu' looked at Ji Fa and Zizhu with a slight redness in the corners of his eyes.

"Brother Ji Fa, you and Sister Zizhu must come to me often to play in the future. ”

Mu 'Lu' said softly.

Zizhu also looked a little dignified, he had never left Chaoge, but today he was going to leave the country because of his beloved man, betraying this dynasty connected to his blood, and he was a little reluctant.

Ji Fa had already noticed Zizhu's abnormality, but for Zizhu Ji Fa at this moment, she knew very well that it was no longer comforting with words, the decision made by Zizhu herself was destined to be today, and the future may require Zizhu to have a stronger ability to bear it, because at that time she will face a life-and-death struggle between the two people she values the most.

Ji Fa clenched Zizhu's hand at this moment, Zizhu's body shook slightly, looked at Ji Fa beside him, and saw Ji Fa coming from a firm and slightly guilty look, Zizhu smiled reluctantly on his face, and at this moment he just looked away.

"Master Ji, if you need anything, just contact our Mu family, and when Uncle Jiang comes back, we will let Uncle Jiang rush to the Zhou tribe to contact you. ”

Seeing this atmosphere, Mu Shuang couldn't help but say that Mu Shuang's actions suddenly relieved everyone's atmosphere, and everyone's hearts were also relieved.

Ji Fa smiled slightly, and swept away the reluctance just now.

"Thank you, Miss Mu. ”

"Master Ji doesn't have to be polite, our Mu family was already ready two years ago. ”

As soon as Mu Shuang's words came out, everyone immediately sensed the deep meaning, and couldn't help but think about it.

Ji Fa thanked him again and smiled.

"Okay everyone, there is no banquet in the world, take care. ”

Ji Fa said that he saluted to everyone, and 'exchanged' with everyone for a look was to pull Zizhu with a complicated expression and leave.

It wasn't until Ji Fa and Zizhu disappeared from sight that Xiusi and the others withdrew their gaze.

"Miss Mu, I said before that I will leave Chaoge after Ji Fa leaves, but because things have changed halfway, I may still disturb you for many days, I hope you will forgive me. ”

Xius said apologetically to Mu Shuang at this moment.

Mu Shuang's expression was slightly happy, but it was extremely secretive and did not let Xiusi notice it.
