As the deputy mansion master in charge of the lower courtyard, the status of the Confucian mansion lord is transcendent, and the place where he lives is naturally not ordinary, it is a small courtyard located in a secluded place inside the Zhenyuan Wu Mansion.

Although it is remote, it is not too far from the various branches of the lower courtyard, which is convenient for the daily inspection of the Confucian Mansion.

On weekdays, if there is no major event, the Confucian Mansion Lord will also work here.

Now, it was nightfall, and Huo Xiu was gradually approaching the courtyard. Several lights had been lit in it, and from a distance, it seemed that a figure was shaking. Looking at the figure, it should be the master of the Confucian Mansion.

Huo Xiu walked quickly to the front, raised his hand, and was about to knock on the door. At that moment, he suddenly stopped.

"I am now in the Breakthrough Realm, and I have cultivated the Breathing Technique, and my strength has increased a lot. Now why don't you give it a try and see if the Master of Confucius can detect my existence. ”

When Huo Xiu thought of this, he couldn't help but be moved. Along the way, he used the breathing technique without withdrawing, and just continued to maintain it.

Moreover, the master of the Confucian Mansion is a martial artist in the late stage of the Clutch Realm, and he can be called the second-top existence of Zhenyuan City. Huo Xian can test it to see if his breathing technique can deceive such masters.

Thinking of this, Huo Xiu immediately turned around and went around to the side of the small courtyard.

The wall of the small courtyard was not high, not even a zhang, Huo Xiu jumped on tiptoe.

Then he took a breath and landed lightly on the ground, without making the slightest sound.

After doing all this, Huo Xiu slowly paced to the window and stood close to the wall.

At this moment, the hut was unusually quiet, except for the occasional sound of flipping books.

After a long time, Huo Xiu heard a "pop", as if he had closed the book. Immediately afterward, there was a long sigh from inside the room.

"Hey, the prescriptions given in this medical book are too harsh, and some of the medicinal materials are simply nowhere to be found. Tang Qian's little girl has been in a coma for nearly a month, and there is no sign of improvement. If there really is a three-long and two-short, how should I explain it! Huo Xiu's kid has disappeared for a day or two, and there is not even a single news, so I really don't know where he has gone?"

The corners of Huo Xiu's mouth lifted, and he couldn't help but smile. It seems that the Lord of the Confucian Mansion still cares about Tang Qian very much, and now that he has brought back the demon pill, Tang Qian's illness should be able to be alleviated.

Huo Xiu slowly paced to the door, ready to appear. Suddenly, there was a sharp sound in the room.

"Friends outside, you've been listening to it for so long, it's time to come out!"

Huo Xiu's complexion changed suddenly, he thought that the Breath Gathering Technique had not revealed any flaws, and the Confucian Mansion Master should not have discovered his existence.

"Could it be that this is the Lord of the Confucian Mansion who is cheating?"

Huo Xiu decided to stay and see if the Master of the Confucian Mansion really found him.

At this moment, the voices in the room began to grow angry.

"This friend, your shelf is quite big. Anyway, the old man will take action himself and ask you to come out. ”

In an instant, Huo Xiu suddenly felt the soles of his feet tremble, as if something was about to jump out.

Huo Xiu hurriedly stepped aside, and at this moment, he only heard a "bang", and a big hole was blown out of thin air in the position he was in before.

At this moment, the voice in the house sounded again.

"Hey, I'm quite agile, so I dodged it. I just don't know if I'll be able to dodge my next attack. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Huo Xiu's surroundings suddenly bào zhà. He kept retreating, but these bào zhà were like shadows, biting and biting.

In desperation, Huo Xiu had no choice but to jump and jump onto the wall.

Boast!

The door of the hut suddenly opened, and out of it came a middle-aged warrior with a white jade face and three long hairs, who was none other than the master of the Confucian Mansion.

As soon as the Lord of the Confucian Mansion raised his eyes, he saw Huo Xiu's predicament and couldn't help laughing.

"Who am I supposed to be, it turned out to be you, boy. I don't think I'll see you for a few days, and you'll have already reached the Breakthrough Realm. It's so bad that I don't dare to recognize each other, so I have to force you to show up. ”

Huo Xiu raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised. The master of the Confucian Mansion is worthy of being a master in the late stage of the clutch realm, and he can see his realm at a glance.

In this way, Huo Xiu was not easy to hide, so he directly bowed his hand and bowed.

"Back to the Confucian Mansion, I have had some adventures in the past few days, and I have been lucky enough to improve my realm. This is not the place to talk, can we come into the house and talk?"

The eyes of the Confucian Mansion Lord opened, and he already understood what Huo Xiu meant. He immediately opened the door and walked inside.

Seeing this, Huo Xiu also jumped off the fence and walked into the hut after him.

The interior of the house is very simple, with only a few pieces of furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, and bookshelves, and it is impossible to tell that this is the residence of a prominent person.

At this time, the master of the Confucian Mansion was sitting on one of the Taishi chairs.

"Huo Xiu, you haven't seen you for more than ten days, where have you gone to mess around? Also, how has your realm also improved?"

When Huo Xiu heard this, he immediately stepped forward to explain. However, he hid most of it, and only deduced that he had an adventure when he was looking for the essence of the Ten Thousand Years Cold Pool.

The master of the Confucian Mansion listened silently, and then his face changed, and he slapped the handrail fiercely.

"Old man Mu, this old fool, actually deceived you to 100,000 mountains, it's really irresponsible. ”

Huo Xiu stepped forward and explained, "Master Confucius, this is not a Lai Mu Zhangyuan, I am willing to go to it myself. ”

The master of the Confucian Mansion waved his hand and motioned for Huo Xiu not to explain any further.

Huo Xiu had no choice but to change the topic.

"Master Confucius, I think the concealment technique is not bad, how did you find me. ”

The Confucian Mansion Lord laughed and stroked his beard.

"Huo Xiu, you are hiding well, I really didn't find you at first. However, as I mentioned you, I suddenly felt something strange at the door. Thinking about it this way, it is natural that there are people hiding outside. ”

Huo Xiu secretly said ashamed, his state of mind still needed to be tempered.

At this moment, the Confucian Mansion Lord's face turned straight and asked, "Huo Xiu, you have traveled to the 100,000 Great Mountains this time, have you ever retrieved the essence of the 10,000-year-old cold pool?"

Huo Xiu flipped his wrist and immediately took out a fist-sized round ball from his arms.

The Confucian Mansion Lord's face was shocked, and his voice trembled a little.

"This is a demon pill!?And it's also a demon pill with an ice attribute!Huo Xiu, how did you get it?"

Huo Xiu's mouth was deflated, and he had to deduce that he had encountered two demon clans fighting hard, and he was losing both, so he just picked up a leak.

The Confucian Mansion Lord looked at Huo Xiu with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't believe it. But Huo Xiu's determined look made it impossible for him to delve deeper.

At this moment, Huo Xiu raised his head and asked, "Master Confucius, do you think this demon pill can help Tang Qian complete his awakening?"

The face of the Confucian Mansion Lord changed, and his face was sad.

"Although this demon pill is good, it is not the essence of the 10,000-year-old cold pool after all, and if you use it forcibly, the effect may not be very good. ”

Huo Xiu smiled and listened, and stuffed the demon pill into the hands of the master of the Confucian Mansion.

"Master Confucius, take a good look inside this demon pill. ”
