Not long after Yan Lan returned to the house, the fifth junior brother came to say goodbye to him with a sad face, and Yan Lan said a lot of heart-wrenching words before soothing him. Who knew that before he was sent out, a group of little disciples came, all of whom were newcomers brought out by Yan Lan's hand, and when he left, they were like losing their backbone and broken their support, so they were naturally very reluctant.

Yan Lan was comforting these disciples all afternoon and night, sending away batch after batch, and was busy until the third watch was able to calm down. He closed the door of the room, tiredly walked around to the side of the wooden bed, pulled out a wall tile, and took out a carved wooden box from the hollow wall, which was the relic of Ruo Yan that Qiao Yiling had found.

Yan Lan sat in the candlelight with the box in his hand, took out the letter with "Yan Lan personally opened" from it, and unfolded it and looked at it carefully. Ruoyan wrote in the letter what she had been hiding, recalled the happiness that Yan Lan brought her, and finally hoped that after she completed her mission and died, Yan Lan could forget everything, return to her cheerful appearance, be an innocent hero again, and ask him to take care of her relatives.

If you say: I don't hate you, Brother Yan, I love you, so much so that I can lose you and myself.

Yan Lan's throat moved slightly, pinched the corner of the letter and stretched it out towards the firelight, and it was over......

As for the fire in the back mountain, Yan Lan prevaricated on the grounds that the sky was dry and dry, the back mountain was full of dead leaves, and Qiao Yiling had strayed into the past, anyway, there was no substantial loss from the flame knife, and there was no reason for a large-scale search, and now everyone's attention was focused on Yan Lan's resignation, and it was better to have more than one thing, and the matter would be over.

Finally left the flame knife and Qiao Yiling's nightmare, but Yan Lan followed them, and Qiao Yiling always had a pimple in his heart.

On the way, Nie Changnan and Jiang Xiaotian explained the current situation to them, Jiang Xiaotian had already explained the identities of Sheng Lingyun and several people to Nie Changnan, and at the same time, he also handed over the rebellion of Yanyu Villa found out by Yun Xia to Nie Changnan, so Yun Xia is now also dispatched to Nie Changnan.

Sheng Lingyun and Yan Lan listened to the lecture, and from time to time they also said two sentences, Qiao Yiling looked sad, and he didn't think about it at all. Nie Changnan noticed that something was not quite right with Qiao Yiling, thinking that the girl was tired of traveling and driving, and Xu was tired, so he ordered everyone to rush to the shade of the woods to rest.

After dismounting, Sheng Lingyun went to the river to fetch water and handed it to Qiao Yiling, and asked in a low voice, "Still thinking about Ruoyan?"

Qiao Yiling shook his head, "It's all in vain, isn't it?" ”

At this time, Yan Lan also came over, he was no longer cold and detached, and gradually regained his former youthfulness, and was about to open his mouth to ask Qiao Yiling if he was uncomfortable, but Qiao Yiling walked away indifferently.

"Miss Joe seems to hate me." Yan Lan stood awkwardly in place, looking at Qiao Yiling's back.

"Maybe Yan Gongzi's attitude towards her two days ago was too cold, and she was angry." Sheng Lingyun also walked away jokingly and walked to the river to wash his face.

Yan Lan followed behind him, Sheng Lingyun sat down next to him after washing his face, and said lazily, "Yan Gongzi has something to say?"

"What do you Yunxia do?" When Jiang Xiaotian talked about Yun Xia, Yan Lan was quite attentive.

"Yunxia Yunxia, naturally he travels all over the world, and he is free in five days!" Sheng Lingyun hooked his lips and smiled, "What, Sheng Gongzi doesn't want to return to the Flame Knife and wants to join my Yunxia?"

Yan Lan also smiled back, did not answer, but walked over to Sheng Lingyun and sat down, "Sheng Gongzi and I are very similar, I think we can be friends." ”

Sheng Lingyun still smiled, and said politely: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that you look at ......" He and Yan Lan looked at Qiao Yiling who was sulking in the forest, "Miss Qiao is also a part of my Yunxia, she resists you so much, I naturally have to rely on him."

Yan Lan didn't speak again, and on the way back, she avoided Qiao Yiling and was safe.

After a few twists and turns, he returned to Yanyu Villa, Xu Yunxi was busy with the front and back, the villa has a new look, the style is regular, Nie Changnan couldn't help but praise Xu Yunxi, and wanted to arrange a long-term position for him in the villa, Xu Yunxi was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, he was really tired these days, inside and out, big and small, all through his hands, he was still free.

Jin Lian has not moved at all recently, it stands to reason that the news of the death of the charter wind has spread all over the rivers and lakes, and all sects and factions have also prepared ways to deal with it, but they are like no one, they don't say anything, and even the three hundred evils in a day have been broken, isn't it that their own house has been set on fire, and everyone has burned down?

Even so, for the time being, we can't relax, after all, the drug cult behaves strangely, and maybe one day the old trick will be repeated again, and a bunch of moths will be made.

Everyone got together at the dinner, and after a while, Qiao Yiling went to the small pavilion in the middle of the lake alone, crying too much in the past few days, which damaged her spirit a lot, and the whole person lost weight.

She leaned quietly on the railing, closed her eyes, listened to the sound of frogs and insects around her, and after one difficulty after another, she finally returned to normal fireworks, and her heart was a lot more steady.

I don't know when Xu Yunxi walked to her side, she sensed someone and opened her eyes, "Brother Xu, when did you come?" ”

Xu Yunxi didn't answer her words, but looked at her, and said distressedly: "Lingyun told me, look at you, you have been depressed since you came back, and you have lost a lot of weight, how can your body stand it like this!"

"I'm fine, I'll be fine after today." Qiao Yiling also knows that going on like this is not a way, there is still a long way to go, she will meet many new people, bring her new stories and memories, she will cheer up.

Xu Yunxi wanted to touch her head, but men and women couldn't kiss her, he only turned sideways and leaned on the railing, "Ling'er, the rivers and lakes are so cruel, do you regret it?" ”

"What do you call me!" The focus that Qiao Yiling heard first was what Xu Yunxi called her, in addition to her parents, Xu Yunxi was the first person to call her "Ling'er", this familiar intimacy, Qiao Yiling counted the days, and it had been more than two months since she left home unconsciously, and she didn't know that her father and mother were in good health, but she was still angry.

Xu Yunxi was amused by her sudden reversal, "What, can't you call Ling'er?" ”

"Yes, of course I can, but I haven't heard anyone call me that for a long time, and I'm still a little uncomfortable." Qiao Yiling showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, and it was shining.

"Then I will call you Ling'er from now on."

"Good!"

In the center of the lake, ripples spread out in a circle.

Qiao Yiling's heart that had sunk in the past two days finally improved a little, and when Xu Yunxi saw her on the second day, her face was a lot ruddy, and when she saw that the corners of their mouths began to turn up, Xiao Ziyan couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Qiao, you have finally come back to life!"

Qiao Yiling handed him a roll of the eyes, and Sheng Lingyun laughingly pressed Xiao Ziyan's shoulder, "It seems that Ziyan was scared by Miss Qiao yesterday!" ”

The four of them were as lively as in the past, but Qiao Yiling was still indifferent when he saw Yan Lan, and he didn't even bother to pretend to be polite.

Xu Yunxi was only polite to Yan Lan, everyone was doing things for Yanyu Villa, not disturbing each other, and the point was up. However, Nie Changnan seemed to intend to promote Yan Lan's relationship with them, and then sent the same task for them.

Before the start of the Heroes Conference, Xu Yunxi found out that nine sects had received a large sum of silver from nowhere, which was a hidden danger in Yanyu Villa, and Nie Changnan entrusted the matter to the five of them.

According to Nie Changnan's previous understanding in Beiming Hall, there is a dark pavilion in Duxuan City, which specializes in online rivers and lakes, and even Beiming Hall has received his famous post, but the post did not explain the intention, only asked Nie Changnan to designate a place to discuss in detail. Nie Changnan never liked to deal with these evil sects, so he didn't take it to heart, and now that he thinks about it, this silver may flow from here, and it is very likely that it has something to do with the Golden Lotus Sect.

Although Yun Xia is good at exploring the secrets of the rivers and lakes, he has never heard of the news of this secret pavilion, and it seems that it is indeed hidden deep enough, so he needs to investigate it carefully.

However, Xu Yunxi talked to Nie Changnan alone in private, and he said that with the power of Yunxia, there are many people, and they are not familiar with Yan Lan, so it is difficult to arrange actions. Nie Changnan said that Yan Lan had broken away from the Flame Knife Gate, since Yun Xia recruited talented people from all over the world, he could also abandon his prejudice against the sect and accept Yan Lan, besides, Yan Lan had been the head of the Flame Knife Sect, so he could use this as a bait to lure out of the Dark Pavilion, which was very beneficial to them.

Nie Changnan said in the end, and said: "Since Ling Yun has cooperated with Yan Lan to find out the truth, the two should also have some tacit understanding, I know that now Miss Qiao is angry with Yan Lan because of Ruoyan, but we have to be reasonable, this matter is Miss Qiao's fault, you should take this opportunity to persuade the two."

Xu Yunxi couldn't refute it, he naturally believed the truth that Qiao Yiling found out in the end, and he didn't deny that if Yan Lan was there, they would have a much better chance of leading out of the Dark Pavilion. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to focus on the overall situation, to seek Qiao Yiling's opinion, and analyze the pros and cons, Qiao Yiling is not a child, understands the current situation, and naturally follows the arrangement of the villa.

The day before leaving for Duxuan City, Xu Yunxi and the three of them went to visit the owner of Jiang Lao, and Qiao Yiling packed his luggage in the house. Suddenly, there was a figure outside the window, Qiao Yiling was alert, picked up a weapon to defend, but the figure only threw a note from the window: See you along the Siye River.

Qiao Yiling complied with the request, tensed her nerves and came to the riverside, and Yan Lan stood by the river with her hands behind her back and waited for her.

Qiao Yiling breathed a sigh of relief and walked behind him without a good face, "Yan Lan, what do you mean by this, do you want to kill people?" ”

Yan Lan was not annoyed, just like these two days, she smiled gently, "Miss Qiao, I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to reconcile with you." ”

"Hmph, I don't think I have anything to say to you." Qiao Yiling turned around and left.

"Wait a minute, Miss Joe." Yan Lan stopped Qiao Yiling and took out something from his arms, which was the jade pendant that Qiao Yiling gave to Ruoyan.

Qiao Yiling slowly took the jade pendant, and Ruoyan's figure appeared in front of him again.

"After thinking about it, I feel that there is nothing to hide from you, anyway, you also know the truth of the matter." Yan Lan took a step forward and stood in front of Qiao Yiling.

"Miss Qiao, I just want to tell you that Ruoyan is willing to sacrifice for me, and she is even more so that I can stand in front of the heroes and heroes of the world with dignity and make some ambitions, if you really want to expose the whole thing, isn't everything Ruoyan has done in vain?"

Qiao Yiling was beating a drum in his heart, yes, wasn't Ruoyan willing to be used by him? But Shen Shiyi, was he unjustly killed like this?

Yan Lan guessed her thoughts, "If you have to say that I am ungrateful, Miss Qiao, I admit it, it's just, if it were you, you thought that joining Yunxia would be able to realize your heroic dream, you were diligent, stood up for twelve points, and worked hard day and night, in the end, no one saw your efforts, let alone mention your credit, they all took it all, are you willing?" The more Yan Lan spoke, the more excited she became, "What's more, the charter wind deserves to die, he committed a heinous crime with the Golden Lotus Sect, but it's not the evidence I found out!" ”

Qiao Yiling seemed to be awakened and began to waver. Yan Lan continued: "Miss Qiao, the matter has been revealed, I am not heinous, I am the same as you, I just want to make some merits for the martial arts, in the next few days, I will fight with you to make up for the mistakes I made, and I will not live up to Ruoyan's hard work, isn't it enough?"

If so, is it worth it? Do you love her? Qiao Yiling didn't want to pay attention to what was right and wrong, she just wanted to get an answer for Ruoyan.

Yan Lan's eyes met Qiao Yiling's eyes with complicated eyes, and she said hard word by word: "Who said I don't love!"
