Yun Ze took in Xiao Qi's lost appearance, but he didn't say anything.

"Do you remember where Yuan Xiu's home is?" Yun Ze reminded.

"I don't remember, I didn't pay attention to the last time I went with Master Edgeworth." Xiao Qi shook his head blankly.

"Night River Country, Liuyun City, is about a day's journey away from our Taiqing Sect." Yun Ze patronized to send Xiao Qi away today, and was so distraught that he forgot to tell him the address.

"Xiao Qi wrote it down." Xiao Qi said softly.

"What's wrong, what's on your mind?" Yun Ze sensed Xiao Qi's little emotion and asked.

"It's okay, it's just that Xiao Qi thinks about the master." Xiao Qi shook his head and said.

"Okay, let's rest early, I'm going to hurry tomorrow!" Yun Ze looked at Xiao Qi very distressed, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, he was not by Xiao Qi's side, and he couldn't protect her at all times, so his Xiao Qi had to learn to be strong!

The light on the jade pendant disappeared in a flash, and Yun Ze's voice disappeared with it. Xiao Qi had no choice but to put away the jade pendant and sit on the bed in a daze.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Qi was stunned, is it a bad person so late? Then he had the courage to ask, "Who?" ”

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement outside the door, Xiao Qi carefully picked up the Moyun Sword beside him, and walked lightly towards the door.

As soon as the door was opened, the long sword was instantly unsheathed, reaching the neck of the person who came, only to see that the person did not dodge, standing there and smiling at Xiao Qi.

And Xiao Qi was also stunned after seeing the person who came, and then blamed: "Xiao Ba, why don't you hide, if my sword is inserted in your chest, I'm afraid I'll regret it!" ”

Hachi shook his head with a smile, handed the box in his hand to Xiao Qi, and then followed her into the house.

"Ah, is it osmanthus cake? Last time, Qin Yu brought this kind of osmanthus cake from the bottom of the mountain. Xiao Qi happily opened the box and tasted it, smiling happily.

Seeing that she was eating happily, Hachi sat down next to her, picked up a teapot from the table and brought her a glass of water and put it in front of her.

"Hachi, can't you sleep too?" Bai Xiaoqi drank the tea that Xiaoba poured for her, and looked at him suspiciously.

I saw Hachi nodding, indicating that he really couldn't sleep. But what Xiao Qi didn't know was that the reason why Xiao Ba couldn't sleep was because he couldn't sleep happily when he went down the mountain with her. Seeing that she was in a bad mood at night, she didn't eat anything at all, and I remember that last time Xiao Qi said that the osmanthus cake was delicious, so I went to buy some for her again.

"Xiaoba, you can accompany me here, I really miss Master and Qin Yu." Xiao Qi looked at Xiao Hachi with a gloomy face and said.

Xiaoba nodded, and sat there quietly listening to Bai Xiaoqi's non-stop chatter. Xu was too bored to talk alone, and after a while, Bai Xiaoqi was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the table.

Seeing this, Xiao Hachi hugged Xiao Qi to the bed, gently covered the quilt for her, and then sat on the side and looked at her quietly, I hadn't been so close to her for a long time, the last time I looked at her like this, it was when I was in the Shadow Building.

Just when Hachi looked at the sleeping Xiao Qi in a daze, there was a sudden sound of abnormal footsteps outside the house, Xiao Hachi stood up vigilantly, and laid a layer of formation outside Xiao Qi's bed, this formation isolated all sounds outside, and at the same time could prevent others from breaking in, disturbing Xiao Qi's sweet dream.

After arranging everything, Hachi walked out alone to check where the sound was coming from.

Hachi stood on a roof and looked around, only to see a group of men in black approaching the room they were staying in at the inn where they lived.

Hachi flew to the front and instantly attracted the attention of those men in black, and one of the men in black was the first to react and fight with Hachi. Hachi is not in love with war, and after engaging the men in black in hand-to-hand combat, he quickly escapes, trying to lure them elsewhere.

It's not that Hachi is afraid of them, but the fight in the place where the buildings are lined is too eye-catching, and some of them can't be used.

Coming to the open woods outside the city, Xiao Hachi hid his figure with the help of the terrain, and by the way, he set up a magic circle, waiting for the arrival of those black-clothed people.

Sure enough, as soon as Hachi was ready for everything, those people had already followed, looking around for Hachi's figure.

Hachi observed in the dark, and activated the formation instantly after everyone entered the range of the formation.

The sword aura in the formation overflowed, taking the lives of the two people in an instant, and the other black-clothed people who saw their companions dead suddenly became vigilant, and dispersed the spiritual energy out of the body to protect the whole body.

There seemed to be a person in the formation who was proficient in the formation, looking for a flaw in the killing formation, and at this moment, the person suddenly made a move, killing the two companions around him at once, and the others were also shocked when they saw this, and shouted: "What are you doing?" ”

"The eye of this formation is us, the fewer people in the formation, the weaker the formation, if you want to get out, you have to die three more!"

Xiao Bayi's pupils in the dark shrank suddenly, he didn't expect this man in black to be so powerful, and as soon as he entered the formation, he realized the key to his formation. What he didn't expect was that after the man finished speaking, three more people instantly killed his three companions.

Seeing that the formation was broken, Xiao Hachi couldn't care about much, so he appeared from the shadows and wanted to set up the formation again. But at this moment, two figures appeared from the darkness at the same time, one left and one right, attacking him.

It turned out that the team of men in black did not all enter the battle, but when they came, there were already two people hiding in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Hachi had no choice but to fight with the two of them. Xiao Hachi's body is extremely fast, but the two of them can catch up with his speed and not fall behind at all, which makes Xiao Hachi shocked.

During the fight, Hachi saw a golden phoenix embroidered on one of their arms by the moonlight, and then he realized that it was the shadow guard! No wonder there is such strength.

Hachi held a long sword in his hand, and circled with the two, laying out formations from time to time to disrupt the attack of the two. Soon, the two were separated by Xiao Hachi, who took the opportunity to wave his long sword and killed one of them.

At this moment, the only four remaining people in the formation also broke out of the formation, attacked this side, and joined the battle.

One-on-five, Xiao Hachi's pressure increased sharply in an instant, and he struggled to fight against the five people, and from time to time he had to watch out for the killing array laid by the shadow guard who was proficient in the formation. Time passed little by little, Xiaoba gradually exhausted his strength, and after he swung his sword again and killed one person, the remaining two people on the other side saw that he was a little overwhelmed, and they were even more spicy, and wanted to take his life.

The shadow guard who was good at formation had been hiding in the rear, looking for opportunities to set up formations around Xiaohachi from time to time, and the people who fought against him were sharp and spicy, and he cooperated with the shadow guard several times to force him into a killing formation.

Hachi noticed it several times and dodged it in time, but due to the long time of the battle, Hachi's energy and physical strength gradually couldn't keep up, and he didn't notice it for a while, and was slashed by the shadow guard on his back, from his shoulder to his waist, and instantly drenched in blood, and the painful Hachi gasped, and his steps began to stagger.

"I can't leave alive today, I don't know if Xiao Qi is okay." Xiaoba roared in despair, exhausted his remaining spiritual power to set up a killing array, trapping all three of them in the array, and he wanted to die with the two of them!

The shadow guard who was proficient in the formation didn't expect Xiao Hachi to be so crazy, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed wildly: "Boy, I didn't expect you to be so desperate, but do you think that if you die, your companion in the inn will be able to get out of this Yongle City alive?" ”

Xiao Hachi was horrified when he heard this, and secretly thought to himself, "Could it be that they have other shadow guards in the city?" ”

"If we can't go back, someone will naturally replace us, and then we will ......" The man looked at Hachi and sneered.

Hearing this, Xiao Ba's heart was light, Xiao Qi was carrying Master Yun Ze's jade pendant, the Taiqing Sect was not far here, if there was really a danger, Yun Ze would be able to arrive in an instant, and he didn't need to worry about it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hachi no longer had any worries, and instantly activated the formation.

The yin wind in this desperate array gusted, and countless evil spirits roared, and the two shadow guards were horrified when they saw this scene.

"Netherworld? This is a formation that burns your own essence and blood, you are really crazy! The shadow guard who was proficient in the formation shouted loudly, with a hint of desperation in his voice, and said to his companion beside him: "Kill him, only by killing him can we break this formation!" ”

After finishing speaking, the two rushed towards Bai Xiaoba at the same time. Xiaoba smiled miserably, raised his sword and rushed, ignoring the pain in his back, and was determined to die.

Hachi fights with the two while manipulating the resentful spirits in the sky to attack the two. This resentful spirit hurts the spiritual consciousness of the person, and the spiritual consciousness collapses and the body dies.

There are thousands of exercises in this world, but only spiritual consciousness cannot be cultivated and protected, and once damaged, there will be death.

The two of them had to guard against Hachi's attack on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to avoid the whistling spirits, and soon they were full of flaws, and at this moment, Hachi reluctantly manipulated the resentful spirits in the sky to invade the two, drowning them in an instant, and the two died.

Xiao Ba forcibly withdrew the formation, and he suffered a great backlash, the sea of qi shook, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the ground.

Xiao Hachi sat on the ground, breathed for a while, and just calmed down the churning sea of qi, he ignored the injuries on his body, and hurriedly got up and wanted to go back to the inn, because he was worried that Xiao Qi's side would be attacked by the shadow guards again, and he wanted to go back to see if Xiao Qi was okay.

Back at the inn, the surroundings were unusually quiet, Xiaoba came to the door of Xiaoqi, listened to the movement inside, and saw that there was no sound and gently pushed the door in.

In the room, Xiao Qi was still sleeping quietly in the formation he had laid out, and he was not disturbed in any way.

Seeing that Xiao Qi was safe and sound, Xiao Hachi's heart finally relaxed, but he did not withdraw the formation, turned around and returned to the next room to heal himself.

Because the wound is in the back, Hachi can't reach it, but simply rubs some hemostatic medicine where he can touch, and then bandages the wound, in order to prevent the wound from bleeding and being seen by Xiao Qi, Hachi tightly wrapped the wound in several layers.

There was nothing to do all night, and early the next morning, in order to prevent Xiao Qi from detecting last night's abnormality, Xiao Hachi came to Xiao Qi's room early and removed the formation in front of the bed.

Later, I went downstairs to prepare breakfast for Xiao Qi, brought it to Xiao Qi's room, and then waited quietly for her to wake up.

Xiao Qi smelled the smell of rice, woke up slowly, and saw that Xiao Hachi was looking out the window, so he didn't bother him.

Hachi heard Xiao Qi's voice and turned to smile at her, walked to the basin, washed the towel in the warm water prepared in advance, and handed it to Xiao Qi.

"Xiaoba, why is your face so bad, is there anything uncomfortable?" Xiao Qi took the towel and looked at Xiao Hachi with a frown.

Hachi shook his head to indicate that he was fine, then took the towel and washed it in the water, holding Xiao Qi's wrist and wiping her hands carefully.

The soft morning light shone on his pale face, his star-like eyes were covered by slightly drooping eyelids, and his long eyelashes were covered with a layer of gold.

This is the first time Xiao Qi has seen Xiao Hachi so closely in these years, and she was a little stunned for a while, she never thought that Xiao Hachi would be so good-looking.
