When Yue Qianqiu was in the princess's mansion and said that the Pei family had recently been backed, Zhou Jiyue, who had to do her best, had already taken Xiao Jingjing to find the Tianning Inn in Xicheng.

In this kind of place that is not downtown after dark, there are very few people walking on the road, and the two girls will never dare to hang outside, but Xiao Jingjing is not afraid of heaven and earth, and Zhou Jiyue is wearing men's clothes, at first glance, the two seem to be a very compatible pair. On the way, he also met a drunk man who wanted to move his hands and feet, Xiao Jingjing didn't wait for Zhou Jiyue to make a move, and kicked the person into the ditch on the side of the road, and the ferocity index made Zhou Jiyue breathtaking.

Seeing that the door of the Tianning Inn was closed, and there was a sign that it was full, Zhou Jiyue remembered that Yue Qianqiu had mentioned that Xiao Qingqing, who lived here, had chartered the entire inn in order to prevent people from disturbing her, and she was going to knock on the door with a thoughtful eyebrow, but before she took a step up, she was dragged by someone.

"Sister Zhou, don't knock on the door in the middle of the night, it's not good to disturb the neighbors." Xiao Jingjing said, and pointed to the wall with a smile and said, "It's just such a high place, the two of us can easily go up." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Jiyue immediately understood what this young palace master of the Red Moon Palace usually did, and couldn't help but feel that it was very similar to two people - Yan Xu also didn't take the road at the beginning, and specially climbed over the wall to meet Yue Qianqiu, the apprentice. Not only that, Yan Xu also passed on this habit to Qianqiu. She was worried that Qianqiu would pass on this habit to Nono, but she didn't expect that a similar kind would appear at this time.

Tears of sympathy for Xiao Qingqing, who was a mother, she said with a smile: "With your mother's status, guards must have been arranged inside and outside this courtyard a long time ago, in case we break in casually, and when you are injured by someone if you are not careful, I will escort you all the way, won't the hard work be gone?" Stop being naughty, I'll knock on the door. ”

Xiao Jingjing was speechless. She just wants to climb over the wall to make some movement, it is best to be discovered by her mother's subordinates, and then get hurt again, so that she can create an image of a daughter who is worried about her mother and ran away to Jinling to find her mother, then it will be absolutely complete, and she can escape a reproach. However, when I met a big sister of the sect master, she even said that she was naughty!

How could Zhou Jiyue, who was knocking on the door, not see Xiao Jingjing's slightly bulging bun face? However, she has been the sect master for so many years, and she is no longer the orphan girl who had to rely on surprise soldiers to fight the enemy, and she knows that it is best to do things in a stable manner, and the surprise move is just an expedient measure in desperation, so she naturally will not accompany the bear girl to climb over the wall.

Her knock on the door was moderate, three knocks and three more knocks, not loud or small, and not abrupt and disturbing in the middle of the night. After a few repetitions, a somewhat resentful answer finally came from within.

"The inn has long been full, guests should go to another house!"

Zhou Jiyue glanced at Xiao Jingjing, who was still puffing up, and said gently: "I'm not here to stay at the hotel, I'm here to pay respects." Please inform the guest that her daughter has traveled thousands of miles to Jinling and happened to meet me, so I brought her over to meet her. ”

After her explanation, there was suddenly no sound inside, and it was a long time before there were panicked footsteps. After a while, the two door panels were unloaded by a young man, the young man who didn't even put on his clothes and one foot and shoe fell off, took an oil lamp and looked at Zhou Jiyue who knocked on the door, and then looked at Xiao Jingjing next to him, opened his mouth and swallowed the words back.

The mysterious lady wore a veil all day long, he had never seen her real face, how did he know if it was her daughter who was looking for this night? However, this gentle young man outside the door does look quite kind, and also, these days, there are really not many good people who can escort a lonely girl to her mother!

Thinking so in his heart, the guy who was woken up by the cold day had a better attitude, he turned sideways and motioned for the two to enter, and then hurriedly lowered the door panel again to block the howling cold wind.

It wasn't until he turned around that he found that he was shivering in a leather jacket, while the young man in front of him was wearing single cloth shoes, as if it was spring, summer and early autumn at this time, and he didn't feel cold at all. As for the delicate girl, she was wearing a tight black dress at this time, and at first glance it didn't look like a good road, but more like a female snitch.

At that moment, the guy couldn't help but cry out in secret. It won't be to lure the wolf into the house and meet those strongmen, right?

Just when he was eager to go back in time and keep these two suspicious people out, he suddenly saw a fire in the depths of the store, followed by a cold voice: "On the big night, who came to visit the palace master in the name of the young palace master?" ”

Hearing this voice, Xiao Jingjing immediately instinctively dodged behind Zhou Jiyue and whispered, "Sister Zhou, it's Aunt Yaoyue next to my mother." ”

Although her voice was small enough, when the guy didn't dare to say anything, and Zhou Jiyue was thinking about the situation, it was enough for the people who came out to hear it clearly. Sure enough, the spark was extinguished immediately, but a figure quickly swept over like a ghost, and when she got closer, she recognized Xiao Jingjing with half of her face hidden behind Zhou Jiyue at a glance.

"Young Palace Master, how can it really be you?"

"What about me?" Seeing that he couldn't hide, Xiao Jingjing could only poke his head out behind Zhou Jiyue, and said confidently: "My mother has been gone for so long without a shadow, and there are all kinds of discussions around, of course I want to come to Jinling to see what is going on!" Who knows if the emperor Lao'er sent a letter to ask for a letter, whether it was unfavorable for her to enter Beijing and then disadvantage her? Fortunately, I met the enthusiastic person of Sect Master Zhou of the White Lotus Sect, otherwise Jinling is so big, I don't know how to find the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue! ”

She couldn't say that she didn't take her because her mother came to Jinling, so she quickly went out quietly and chased after her.

The young man heard that the emperor Lao'er had issued a letter, heard the Sect Master Zhou of the White Lotus Sect, remembered the young man who came to visit the guest a few days ago, the young man with an extraordinary bearing, and then thought about the people from all walks of life who had been constantly inquiring about the female guest in the house for several days, he only felt frightened, and he wanted to tiptoe away, leaving a place to speak to others, and he was like a nail under his feet, and he couldn't move a step.

Yaoyue naturally didn't believe Xiao Jingjing's explanation, and her eyes fell more on Zhou Jiyue in front of her young palace master. If it was before this woman dressed as a man was exposed, she might have suspected someone of abducting Xiao Jingjing, but now even if there would be no such speculation, she still couldn't help but think of the backer behind the sect master of the White Lotus Sect from Zhou Jiyue.

The White Lotus Sect was able to return to Wupinlu because of the Yue family and the eldest princess of Dongyang. Moreover, since returning to Jinling, this unprecedented female sect master of the White Lotus Sect has taken on the duties that Yue Qianqiu originally prepared for herself, and has taken on the burden of the entire Wuying Pavilion. Now, the young palace master has been escorted over, but do you know that Yue Qianqiu is not behind the scenes?

What's more, after the palace master went to the Wuying Pavilion last time, he didn't have much evaluation of Yue Qianqiu when he came back, but he had a high evaluation of Zhou Jiyue, and he only sighed that he couldn't make deep friends, but now, people took the initiative to send it to the door!

With a flash in her eyes, Yao Yue curtsied very respectfully and said, "Thank you Sect Master Zhou for escorting my young palace master all the way." The palace master has not yet gone to bed, the slave and maid lead the way, please come with me and the young palace master. ”

When she turned to move forward, she saw that Xiao Jingjing couldn't help but grab Zhou Jiyue's arm, and the posture of leaning on was very obvious, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart again, thinking that the palace master didn't know how to feel when he saw this scene.

Zhou Jiyue is different from Xiao Jingjing, who is frightened and scared of her mother, all the way inside, she does not look left and right, her steps are steady, but her mind always pays attention to the people around her who are hiding in the dark. Finding that there were as many as seven or eight of them that she could detect at the first time, and there might be people in the shadows that she couldn't find immediately, she gradually made up her mind.

It may not be known whether Xiao Qingqing is an enemy or a friend, since Xiao Jingjing, the runaway young palace master, wants to stay in Jinling and wants to avoid his mother, and he does not hesitate to claim that he is willing to stay in Wuying Pavilion, so she will leave people behind!

Yaoyue, who led the way, came to the northernmost main house, walked two steps quickly to the door and said in a low voice, then turned around and stood down two steps, and said without humility or arrogance: "The palace master is waiting for the two inside." ”

Don't look at the previous rush over Qianqiu when he yelled, Xiao Jingjing was like a cat touching a mouse in front of his mother, and he was a little hesitant at this time. Zhou Jiyue even found that the hand holding her arm was tighter, and she couldn't help but be angry and funny for a while, so she couldn't help but reach out and pat her stiff knuckle gently.

"Take it easy, it's not like I haven't seen your mother, it's a rare beauty in the world, I'm not so nervous when I see your mother, why are you so nervous, are you afraid of her?"

"I'm just afraid ......" Xiao Jingjing agreed very unnaturally, but it was almost as if she was forcibly taken by Zhou Jiyue into the house she was very unfamiliar with.

Through the thick curtain, she unconsciously squinted her eyes, and then realized that there was only a dim lamp in the room, and there was not much difference between the light and the outside where there was still a little starlight, and she didn't need to squint to get familiar with the light. But immediately after, the young palace master was stunned again, because she saw that there was not a single ghost shadow on the main seat in the center.

At this moment, Xiao Jingjing couldn't help but be taken aback. She doesn't like to be locked up in a safe place by her mother all day long, she doesn't allow this, she doesn't let that, but it doesn't mean that she is really an unfilial daughter who doesn't care. At this moment, she let go of the hand that was still holding Zhou Jiyue tightly just now, and shouted at her mother, but when she found that there was no response, she immediately ran to the back room.

Zhou Jiyue wanted to reach out and hold the girl who suddenly became impatient, but as soon as her fingers touched the other party's clothes, she finally stopped, and saw that the person rushed into the back room like a swimming fish. Although she vaguely felt that Xiao Qingqing was abnormally not here to see them, maybe her immature ideas before were about to be lost, but after a little hesitation, she still followed.

"Mother, how early and late is this, why are you lying in bed? Sick? Hey, I really have a fever! How do so many of them serve, don't you know how to hire a doctor? I'm going to fetch water...... No, I'll pour you some water! ”

When she rushed into the back room, Xiao Jingjing saw her mother leaning on the head of the bed and being distracted, her hair was completely down, her face was sickly pale without fat powder, and there was almost no blood on her lips.

At that time, there was always a time in the year when she couldn't see her mother, and others told her that the palace master had gone out to run errands, but when she accidentally bumped into the wall once, she found her mother who was sick in bed and couldn't get up. She didn't know until then that her mother, who was beautiful, martial arts and strong, and seemed to be omnipotent, could also get sick. She was locked up for several days afterwards, but because she was too young, she gradually forgot about it.

At this moment, she rubbed her eyes vigorously when she threw herself on the bed, gritted her teeth and turned around to leave, but Leng Buding's wrist was grabbed. Her body froze instantly, and she unconsciously turned her head again, seeing that her wrist was firmly clamped in her mother's hand, she couldn't move at all, she couldn't help crying: "Mother, since you are sick, why didn't you bring me a letter earlier and let me come over?" ”

"What did you do here? Running around and making a mess for me? ”

Seeing that the daughter who was still anxiously concerned about her mother just now, she was immediately stunned after hearing this, and her face showed an expression that she couldn't tell whether she was sad or disappointed. She coughed lightly, and then walked into the house unhurriedly.

"Why did the palace master scold Miss Xiao? Mother and daughter, she is also thinking about you, so she came to Jinling despite the long distance, why did you deliberately say such things to stab her? Want her to leave in a fit of rage and leave you as a mother? But you should know your daughter, even if she is indeed a little impulsive, but is she such a person who can be sent away by three or two sentences? ”

Xiao Jingjing was so aggrieved that she was about to cry, but when she heard Zhou Jiyue's words at first glance, she only felt that the strength that had just been taken away at once returned to her body in an instant. She stared at her mother directly, trying to see from the other party's face whether it was what Zhou Jiyue said, but after staring at each other for a long time, she finally lost the battle in discouragement.

From childhood to adulthood, how could she once win over her mother?

"Sect Master Zhou really deserves to inherit the position of the Sect Master of the White Lotus Sect at the age of twelve, heroic, sassy and atmospheric, obviously it is more beneficial for you to go to Jing'er in anger, but you refuse to take advantage of the danger of others." Xiao Qingqing on the couch was faceless, and she no longer saw the momentum when she visited the Wuying Pavilion that day. She casually complimented, the corners of her mouth hooked, revealing an extremely faint smile.

But with such a smile, Xiao Jingjing was stunned, and Zhou Jiyue was even more awe-inspiring, her right hand clenched into a fist, and her nails silently pierced her palm, so that she could get rid of the sleepiness that her mind was almost seized with the fastest speed.

"The palace master has won the prize. Miss Xiao and I have only only met today, and we only know that we are inseparable, and the blood of flesh and blood is thicker than water. It is naturally not normal for a biological mother to be angry with her biological daughter. What's more, Miss Xiao's age is past the age where you can pass the time casually with just one sentence for your good, what do you have to hide? If you find it inconvenient for me to stay, I will take my leave. ”

Xiao Jingjing was suddenly anxious, but at this time, her mother was clearly still sick, no matter how afraid she was of going back to be settled, she would not mention the matter of enrolling in the Wuying Pavilion, so she could only watch Zhou Jiyue arch her hand and turn around and walk out. But at this moment, she only felt her mother's hand hold on to her suddenly loosened, and then she heard something she could barely believe.

"Sect Master Zhou, if I want to send Jing'er to the Wuying Pavilion, are you willing to accept it?"
