Shrill birdsong pierced the sky.

In a courtyard in Danyu, Shidie and Yuzhu sat side by side by a flower garden. A gentle breeze caressed their sides, holding up their long hair.

"It's time for the succession ceremony in a while, Shidie, are you ready?" Yuzhu propped his jaw with both hands.

Shi Die's eyes were closed, and she dragged a Dan furnace in her hand, and hummed softly.

As soon as the fingers in his hand changed, there was a crisp sound of a jingle in the Dan furnace, and a pill of Dan was refined into shape. Shi Die took out the elixir and put it into the jade bottle that had been prepared long ago.

"It's time like this, do you still want to make alchemy?" Yuzhu squinted at her.

Today is the succession ceremony, but since early in the morning, Shidie has been focused on alchemy without distractions.

has been by Shidie's side for so many years, and Yuzhu actually knows that the more focused Shidie is, the more nervous she is. When she is nervous, she often uses alchemy to calm herself.

"As long as I accept the position of suzerain, I can leave here. Shi Die rubbed the jade bottle in her hand, looking worried.

Yuzhu groaned for a while, glanced his head in the opposite direction, and bowed his head slightly.

The gate of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked in quickly.

Yuzhu moved very fast, jumped up from his sitting position, dusted off his skirt, intertwined his hands in front of him, and lowered his eyebrows.

"Elder Luo. Yuzhu shouted respectfully.

Elder Luo came to them in a few quick steps, looked at Shi Die for a moment, and exhaled softly.

The Holy Maiden was still in the courtyard, and a large stone in her heart had settled.

"Aunt Luo. Shidie raised her head slightly.

"The ceremony is about to begin, so I'm just here to let you know. Elder Luo smiled.

said that it was a notice, and the original intention was to make sure that there was no accident on Shidie's side. Listening to what Qu Baihua said before, she had always felt uneasy in her heart, for fear that something would go wrong before the ceremony, but now that everything is as usual, her hanging heart has also settled down a little.

Shi Die put away the Dan furnace: "Aunt Luo, you promised me that as long as I become the sect master, I can leave here." ”

"That's nature. You are the sect master of our Dan Domain, so naturally you can go wherever you want. The young man Ye Lingyu, who has always been worried about adults, must be somewhere in the mainland now. When the adult becomes the sect master, he can mobilize the strength of the entire sect to find that young man, which is what the adult has been looking forward to. ”

Although Elder Luo said this with a smile, his smile seemed a little stiff. She had promised Shi Die more than once that she had said this, but when the ceremony was over, it was a question whether the new sect master could remember the big devil. The dignified Dan Domain Sect Master, how could he have anything to do with the Demon Clan.

It's just that there are some words that can't be let Shidie know yet.

"Yuzhu, come over and help me prepare something. Elder Luo beckoned to Yuzhu.

Yuzhu followed behind Elder Luo and was taken to a hut not far away.

Entering the house, Elder Luo closed the door with his backhand.

"Elder. Yuzhu hung his head, very respectful.

Elder Luo stood at the window, looking at the poetry butterfly in the distance for a while, and made sure that the poetry butterfly was not

There is an eye on their side.

"Let me ask you, what is wrong with your lord during this time?" Elder Luo said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Yuzhu was slightly stunned: "Back to the elder's words, everything is normal during this time. ”

"Everything is normal? Then I ask you, my lord, have you ever left this courtyard?" ”

"Leave the courtyard? The slave has always been with the adult, and the adult has never stepped out of the courtyard. Yuzhu looked puzzled.

As Shi Die's personal maid, she has been with Shi Die for the longest time, Shi Die has never left the courtyard half a step over the years, she has no idea what Elder Luo means by asking.

Elder Luo turned his head by the window, his stern expression intensified, and handed her a pill.

"Elder, what is this?"

"Panic Eater Pill. Elder Luo whispered coldly, his eyebrows as sharp as a sharp knife, "Since you are from my Dan Domain, you know what this thing is." After taking it, if you answer my question honestly, it is nothing. But if you dare to say half a lie in a stick of incense, this is the poison that pierces the intestines. ”

Yuzhu's face suddenly turned as white as paper, how could she not have heard of the Panic Devouring Pill. This kind of thing can be said not to be poisonous, but it can also be said to be highly poisonous. Although this thing is not of high grade, it has a miraculous effect.

This kind of thing is usually used when forcing some important criminals, but at this moment, Elder Luo gave her this thing.

"Obey. Elder Luo said sharply.

Yuzhu was so frightened that his whole body was a little weak, and he was afraid of pills, and ordinary prisoners would be forced to use this kind of thing. She's a maid, not a prisoner.

"Elder......"

"Obey!" Elder Luo accentuated.

In the Dan Domain, Elder Luo was known for his harshness.

There are three eight-rank elders in the Dan Domain, Elder Luo is one, Elder Qu is one, and there is also a Palace Elder. Among these people, only Elder Luo was the kind of person who said the same.

Everyone knew that when there was no sect master in the Dan Domain, Elder Luo's words were equivalent to the temporary position of the sect master. No one dared to object to what she said.

Yuzhu trembled and took the Dan Domain.

"Obey!" Elder Luo said the word for the third time.

In front of Elder Luo, Yuzhu had no possibility of resisting at all, so he could only swallow the pill with his eyes closed.

Being asked to take such an elixir even though he was not a prisoner was an unacceptable thing in itself.

Seeing that she obediently swallowed the pill, Elder Luo laughed: "You know the effect of the Panic Devouring Pill, when you answer me, it's best to think about it clearly." ”

Yuzhu lowered his head.

"Let me ask you again, have you ever left since you entered here?"

"Yuzhu didn't dare to lie to the elders, the adults really never left. Yuzhu choked up in his voice.

Elder Luo was slightly stunned, since Yuzhu had swallowed the Panic Pill, it was naturally impossible for him to lie. If Shi Die hadn't left, then how did Elder Qu's disciple know about Shi Die?

"My lord, has she behaved in any way?" said Elder Luo

Ask.

"Nope. Yuzhu's head was still hanging down.

Elder Luo's doubts were even worse, Yuzhu, as Shidie's personal maid, was almost inseparable, and even if there was a time to leave, it would not take more than an hour. If Shidie had left, she couldn't have known it. In this way, Shi Die really has never been out of this courtyard, but if this is the case, what is the matter with the disciple named Gong Yi?

calmed down a little, anyway, it's naturally good that Shidie hasn't been out of the courtyard. Maybe one of the Gong people met someone else and was confused.

"Besides...... "Elder Luo continued, "have you ever said anything about what I told you?"

Yuzhu shook his head again and again: "The disciple didn't dare to say a word about what the elder explained. ”

"Hmph, it's good that I didn't say anything. Today's young talents are almost all here, and after the test, they will be able to decide the future husband of the adult, so that the connection with the big devil has been completely severed. In any case, only this time there is no room for any difference. Go down, remember to serve the good life, and don't reveal the news to her until the dust settles. ”

"Yes. Yuzhu replied softly, waited in the house for a stick of incense, and waited for the medicine to pass before leaving the house.

The sun was shining on her, and her face was still bloodless, and she returned to Shidie as stiff as a puppet.

"Aunt Luo is embarrassing you again?" Shidie looked at her.

"I didn't ...... No. Yuzhu shook his head again and again, forcing a smile. I also realized that my face might be a little ugly, and gently rubbed my cheeks, "Maybe I didn't sleep well yesterday." ”

Shi Die lowered her head and rummaged through the Qiankun Ring, took out two jade bottles one after another and handed them to her: "If you are unwell, these pills should help you." ”

"This ...... My lord, this is not acceptable. ”

"Don't worry, Aunt Luo didn't look at our side, I won't tell her. The corners of Shidie's mouth were slightly hooked, and she said with a chuckle.

The master-servant relationship is only pretended to be when there are people, and she has always treated Yuzhu as a friend.

The jade bottle was forcibly stuffed into Yuzhu's hand, but Yuzhu was stunned for a while holding the jade bottle.

"My lord......" Yuzhu opened his mouth, originally wanting to relieve the embarrassment, but he couldn't find anything to say for a while, "Do you need to prepare anything before the ceremony, can the slave help you?"

In the past, Shidie helped her a lot, but she never really helped Shidie......

"No need, I'm just packing up some pills. After the ceremony, I went to look for my son and sister. When Shidie said "Childe", she had a faint smile on her face.

Yuzhu's hand holding the jade bottle unconsciously clenched slightly, and his head hung lower. In this cage-like courtyard, Shidie only smiles so brightly when she mentions that person.

Whenever I see the smile from the bottom of my heart like a spring breeze, Yuzhu's heart will also be happy. At the same time, there is always an indescribable guilt lingering in the bottom of my heart.

There are some things she has never told Shidie, never told her, her beauty

Longing is nothing but a flower in the moon mirror in the water. As long as she walks at the pace arranged for her by the elders, that kind of expectation will only be a beautiful dream after all. And in the near future, she won't even remember such a dream.

......

In an attic of the outer sect, Ye Lingyu's figure quietly appeared in Shiyan's house.

"You're back, how are you?" Shi Yan hurriedly asked when she saw Ye Lingyu returning, and at the same time casually placed a ban in the house.

"There's a clue. Ye Lingyu slowly came to the table and poured himself a cup of tea, "Shidie is indeed in the Dan Domain. ”

"Really, how is she? Did you find her and didn't bring her back?"

Hearing that Shidie was really in Danyu, Shiyan was overjoyed. After being separated for so long, she is also very worried about Shidie, and now that she can find someone, there is no better news for her.

"She's supposed to be doing well, but I haven't seen her yet. Ye Lingyu drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp.

"Why?" Shiyan wondered. Since Shi Die is in the Dan Domain, why didn't Ye Lingyu bring her back? If he found Shi Die, it would not be easy for Ye Lingyu to bring someone back? With his strength, if he wanted to take one person, let alone one Dan Domain, even if there were ten Dan Domains, it would be impossible to stop him.

"What's the hurry?" Ye Lingyu sneered, "Shidie just happened to be a good thing, I can't mess with her yet." Moreover, Danyu is thinking about my affairs, and I have specially prepared a good show for Danyu, which must not be wasted. ”

For some reason, Shiyan always felt that Ye Lingyu's tone was indescribably cold. What does this mean? And he said that he had prepared a good show, and what was this disciple thinking?

Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Brother Ye, Miss Shiyan. The people of Danyu are here, it's almost time, it's time to leave. Xiao Wanjin's voice came from outside the door.
