Nothing happened overnight.

Xie Huayu is like in the past, when the little junior sister is asleep, she stays by the side and gently pats her and coaxes her. When she was at home, she coaxed Ah Ling so much, and when she came to Xue Yan Sect, she coaxed Xiao Muwan. Later, when she grew up, she left, and was replaced by Ah Ling.

When she woke up the next day, Mu Wan felt very energetic. She didn't seem to have slept like this in a long time, and her head was groggy no matter how long she had been in bed. Maybe it's because the bitter water is poured out, and people are relaxed. It was already noon, but it was quiet and I didn't know where they had gone. But she's not worried at all – what does it matter if you're running around the house. She stretched, dressed, hung up the umbrella bucket, and pushed the door open.

"Ah, she's awake!"

Ah Ling, who was building sand dunes in the yard with Dai Luan, suddenly said this. At this time, a group of people rushed over from nowhere, all of them were familiar faces. They were far away from each other when they talked, for fear of disturbing her. Mu Wan was surrounded by a group of old friends, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"I, what am I, my face hasn't been washed yet...... Hey, why are you still watching the excitement! ”

Shanhai held his hands behind his back, and stood far away with Xie Huayu and a few older brothers, laughing and not saying a word. It seems that some of her circumstances were announced to the world by him and Senior Sister Yu early in the morning. More than a dozen people gathered around diligently, asking questions and asking questions, which made her a little overwhelmed. After watching the excitement, the two finally came over to solve the siege.

"She hasn't rested yet, what's the matter, let's ask later." She must have appreciated everyone's kindness. ”

"yes, it's been a long journey."

Dai Luan muttered quietly on the side, but it didn't take long.

Although Mu Wan was in a hurry, he was very happy in his heart. It's just that she kept looking around, looking left and right, and didn't find her senior brother's face. This was inevitably a bit disappointing - maybe she was busy, and she didn't dare to ask anything.

"Little junior sister wants to find Senior Brother Wu," said one senior sister, "someone went to tell him." He stayed up all night to deal with affairs, and eighty percent of them haven't woken up yet. ”

Another senior brother said, "Don't worry, everyone has already started the banquet. You'll see it before dark. ”

Mu Wan couldn't help but sigh, she was worthy of being a brother and sister who watched her grow up, and she couldn't hide her thoughts at all.

Ah Ling whispered to Dai Luan: "It's been a long time since anyone shouted the words Senior Brother Wu. ”

"Who is it? The first disciple of the head of the sect? I've heard Mu Wan say it. Why didn't you shout? ”

He didn't seem to like it. Those who are close and far away are directly called far away. Those new disciples and some of his friends who we are not familiar with directly call him Master Wu. ”

“…… What a face-saving experience. ”

"Isn't it?"

As expected, Mu Wan went to visit his old friends who had taken care of him one by one. The senior brother and sister always wanted to pull her to sit down and chat, but each of them had something to do, and she couldn't go anywhere to sit down, so they all said hello roughly. The first thing everyone said was to call the little junior sister - although she was no longer counted, this was only for the sect master's subordinates. The second sentence is to ask her when she will leave. It's not that I'm looking forward to her leaving quickly, but I'm afraid that I won't stay long.

"Yes, stay a few more days......" she said ambiguously, always laughing along.

Even at noon, she wasn't idle. Everyone was chattering, like a flock of excited birds. In the midst of laughter and laughter, Shanhai felt a little uncomfortable.

He couldn't tell why. Those joys did come from the heart, but for some reason, he always felt something strange. And the source of this feeling was soon confirmed.

As soon as Mu Wan put down the dishes and chopsticks, a person ran towards this side

The moment he saw him, Mu Wan's eyes widened and he didn't say a word. And the man didn't say anything, and suddenly hugged her tightly, and it took a long time to let go of his hand.

"You—You're back......"

That should be her big brother.

Shanhai and Ah Luan both looked at him from afar. Wu Yuangui is indeed good-looking, a talent, and looks like a decent gentleman, which is not much different from her description. But perhaps after many years, he has a kind of aging that is thicker than Mu Wan's mouth, and a kind of tactfulness unique to adults. This is also reflected in his next politeness to Shanhai.

Leak-free, flawless wording.

…… If you ignore the silence of others.

Mu Wan, who was immersed in great joy, didn't notice it, she just smiled and listened to her senior brother stupidly. The latter is full of witty words, from the thoughts she missed when she left to the surprise when she returned, how she said that she had trouble sleeping and tossing and turning. Mu Wan didn't know whether he believed it or not, but he was quite happy to hear it.

Weird.

"You suffered......" he said at last.

The rehearsal seems to be skillful. This doesn't hurt, maybe he is in the position of acting head, dealing with all kinds of people on the rivers and lakes, and he has already practiced this tongue. But...... It stands to reason that others shouldn't all have a dark face.

There is respect, but it is just a feeling, respect and fear, fear of taking the lion's share.

Wu Yuangui asked about the mountains and seas as a matter of course. When he learned that he was a disciple of Rin Xiaoguan, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Then, the Taoist must know...... An immortal named Denin has grown. ”

"Yes. The ancestor of this sect, how could he forget. It's just that he has already attained the Tao and ascended to immortal - don't you know him? ”

"No, no, with such a big face, Wu Mou is admittedly absent" He smiled, the corners of his mouth were moving, "But I heard that his old man left some immortal weapons, but he is famous in the rivers and lakes." ”

"Well, that's true."

"Chief Rin, today's dinner, you must appreciate your face. Thanks to your care all the way, the little sister was able to return safely. This kid has not been worrying since he was a child, and he must have caused a lot of trouble......"

Mu Wan didn't refute, but she interrupted him:

"Actually, there are ......"

"Little junior sister, listen to me" Wu Yuangui suddenly grabbed her wrist, "Your senior sister Yan's business...... You should know. I'm still sending people to look for it, but I can't find anything......"

Mu Wan was stunned for a moment.

She tried to turn her eyes on Xie Huayu for help—it seemed that she hadn't told anyone else yet. It's just that she's not here, probably working in the kitchen. The crystal dumplings she wrapped were beautiful and delicious, and Mu Wan still remembered them in her dreams.

"It's a sight to see you back...... I'm afraid we'll be too upset, so I'll send you back quickly. ”

They seem to have a lot to say, but Wu Yuangui still has something to do. The two reluctantly said goodbye and saved the rest for the evening. Obviously, he had just finished lunch, and Mu Wan was already thinking about the dinner. Senior Brother Wu also said that he would introduce many new disciples and friends to her.

In the afternoon, a group of people pulled her back and forth. Shanhai and Xie Huayu followed all the way. When walking on the road, Shanhai and Mu Wan distanced themselves and took the opportunity to ask Xie Huayu a question.

"Your Acting Doorman...... Is it also Onmyoji? ”

"It's not counted," Xie Hua said, "He is free to practice swords, and dealing with monsters is only for self-defense." ”

"Then does he have any Shikigami of his own? Or, what is the result of an old object? ”

"Nope. Should...... Not really. Rinmichi, don't you think you're ......?"

"Hmm. We had a friend along the way. Only people who have been with monsters all year round will be contaminated with such a strong demonic aura. ”

“…… Is that so? I didn't see him much. The first time I noticed it, I asked my other siblings. Almost all of them grew up with Yuangui, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. I thought, maybe I'm overthinking. ”

"You don't."

“……”

Although the Snow Yan Valley is as warm as late spring all year round, it is finally about to enter winter, and the sky is getting dark early. As soon as the lamps were lit in the valley, some disciples passed them to the feast.

Lengthy rhetoric is an inevitable part of all banquets, and there is no escaping this. However, no matter how sluggish Mu Wan was, she also noticed that the number of seats at this banquet was not quite right. Let's not talk about why the master's whereabouts are still unknown, but the senior brother is sitting in the position of the head of the house - this is understandable. It's just that those disciples in front of the uncle and the other rows of people are all sitting very low. The seats on the left and right of the seats are all fresh faces. And those people almost didn't have any expressions, all of them had straight faces, contemptuous expressions, and they were so angry. This made Mu Wan annoyed, but it was inconvenient to say anything.

Anyway, the senior brother still takes care of her, and that's enough.

There is still a position next to Wu Yuangui, which has been empty, and no one asks. Shanhai mentioned it slightly, he just said that he was a very important strategist, but he didn't participate because he was not in good health. He paid for him a glass of wine.

At the end of the long banquet table, Dai Luan and Xie Hualing secretly ate all the way to the crystal dumplings.

The wrappers are rolled out thinly and steamed transparently, and you can see the meat, green beans, corn, and diced radish inside...... No wonder Ah Ling has been bragging to himself for so long, it is really delicious. I also sandwiched a lot of meat, eggs, vegetables and fruits grown in the grain, which were very fresh, and the two of them ate them with oily mouths and refreshed.

"Are you bored," Xie Hualing asked her, "Did we slip away?" ”

"But where to go? I'm not familiar with this place. Dai Luan said honestly.

"I'll take you to the place where the direct disciples live, it's very close, but it's magnificent."

So Dai Luan followed Ah Ling and slipped away from the banquet. Anyway, there are a lot of people, it's very messy, and everyone's attention is also on those three people, and no one will find the two little girls who ran away secretly. Those who can notice them are the only ones, and they are not convenient to get out, which is a good opportunity.

Walking in the exquisitely decorated building, Dai Luan followed Ah Ling, who was holding a candle, with some emotion.

"I thought that in this kind of out-of-this-world place, the architecture would be simpler. Did you build these yourself? Mu Wan said, your food, clothing, shelter and transportation are all self-reliant. ”

"No, there isn't. Senior Brother Wu only took over the position of head for half a year, and immediately invited someone to renovate the dilapidated things. It is said to be renovated, which is no different from rebuilding. It seems like a lot of money, but it's the beneficiary who can talk about it - who wants to sleep in a leaky house. So, no one asked him where he got the money. I just didn't expect that this was just the beginning...... However, he told us that he had left a house for Sister Wan, which should be on the third floor. Let's take a look. ”

Dai Luan is not stupid, she has long noticed that this place is not like that.

"Who is the vacant seat next to Wu Yuangui?"

"Said that he was a fortune teller, helped him a lot, and was considered a senior brother's staff officer. The surname is She, and everyone calls Master She. It's just that we haven't actually seen him much, and those empty seats are all put out to show respect. ”

The two of them came to the third floor, which was also the highest floor. In one room, there was a staggered seal on the door, and a large lock was hung.

"That's ...... Eh, why is there a note on that door? ”

"Huh? Where ......"

"This ...... Shouldn't this be" Xie Hualing hesitated a little, "Could it be...... Sister Yan's room? ”

"It's just ...... It's just going out, why ...... I see that the other rooms - Mu Wan's room is not sealed. ”

"If only I could get in."

Dai Luan blinked and asked, "You want to go in?" ”

“…… Not so good. ”

While the two were sneakily communicating by the candlelight, there was a sudden sound like this in the darkness behind them.

"What are you doing here?"
