Bai Chu sat up from the bed, walked behind the screen with his heavy body, sat in front of him with his hands on the table, his eyes were less sharp than before, he looked directly into his eyes and asked, "Why did you save me?"

"Someone paid a lot of money to ask the Jackdaw Gate to protect the lives of your sister and brother. ”

"That's why you showed up at the Mountain Temple yesterday?"

"Yes, I've been looking for you. Yesterday, when I saw the flare released by the thunderfire, I followed you, and sure enough, I found you. ”

"I guess, you won't tell me who paid for you to protect me, right?" Bai Chu said, bowing his head and smiling, his face was full of bitterness, it seemed that Shi Mingxuan would not tell her anything.

"The employer asked us not to divulge our identity. ”

She suddenly raised her head, clenched her fists, and looked at Shi Mingxuan with an unreasonable look: "Why do you think that by entering me in the Jackdaw Gate, you are protecting me?"

"After you had an accident at home, the first thing you did when you escaped was to write to your master, Zong Wenyan, who is now the chief spiritual master of the Yaskawa Heavenly Thunder Sect, asking him to make decisions for you. However, you waited until it was indeed the killer of the thunder fire, and you were almost killed. After escaping again, you don't know who to trust, so you can only live on the streets with nothing to rely on. Girl, am I right? You have three paths to follow, I wonder if you have decided which one to choose?"

It seems that Shi Mingxuan knows a lot, and he did investigate a lot of things before looking for Bai Chu. Her tone was much calmer, and she asked, "Which three?"

"First, if I continue to live on the streets, I will have no choice but to return my employer's money intact. Second, be protected by the Jackdaw Gate for the rest of your life, never show your true face, give up revenge forever, and never look for your brother again, in this way, you can live to the day when you will grow old naturally, and at that time, no one will remember Bai Chu anymore, and no one will remember Zongcheng Bai anymore. ”

Bai Chu closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Don't say it, what about the third one?"

"Third, join the Jackdaw Gate and become the guardian of the Jackdaw Gate, we will make you stronger, and when you are strong enough, I will send someone to assist you and destroy the Thunderfire Organization. What do you think?"

She opened her eyes: "Commander-in-chief, according to what you said, if you have received money from your employer, as long as you can protect me, it is enough, why do you want to make another move to make an enemy of Lei Huo?"

Jiufeng originally wanted to come in to find Shi Mingxuan, but he heard the two of them talking outside the door, and just heard Bai Chu's question, so he pushed the door and walked in: "Do you need a reason for this?

Shi Mingxuan nodded: "That's right, Lei Huo has done a lot of evil, and I have already planned to get rid of it." If we can get the White Maiden to join the Jackdaw Gate, we will have a better chance of winning, and the White Maiden's road to revenge will also have a little more strength. ”

Bai Chu's mind was racing, thinking of Lei Huo's various evil deeds in her home that night, and scenes of shame and hatred came to her mind, thinking: "If I use my current strength to fight Lei Huo, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, if I can practice martial arts diligently, and then use external forces, I will definitely be able to avenge this blood sea of revenge." He immediately got up from the chair, knelt down to Shi Mingxuan, and said, "I didn't know the teacher's good intentions before, and I have been arrogant, I hope to forgive me." If he can get the help of the Jackdaw Gate in the future and avenge this blood feud, Bai Chu is willing to join the Jackdaw Gate and never give up. However, I implore the general envoy to inform me of my brother's whereabouts, otherwise, my heart is really uneasy, and even in my dreams, I will not be able to face my dead parents. ”

Bai Chu made this great gift, his words were extremely sincere, it stands to reason that Shi Mingxuan should have told her the whereabouts of her younger brother, but he just frowned, and stepped forward to help Bai Chu up: "It's my honor to be trusted by Miss Bai." But Bai Girl, it's not that I don't want to tell you Bai Ren's whereabouts, but I can't. But rest assured, he's safe now. I promise you that when you are strong enough, I will tell you where he is. ”

Bai Chu saw him like this, and thought that he would not say it anyway, but what he said was extremely sincere, and it seemed that he really protected his younger brother somewhere. Shi Mingxuan didn't look like she was lying, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking that she must become stronger in the future, and then ask Shi Mingxuan about her brother's whereabouts.

Jiufeng thought of something, walked to the desk by the window, picked up an anonymous envelope and handed it to Bai Chu: "Miss Bai, when the lady in the store changed your clothes before, a piece of paper fell out of your arms, and I used an envelope to put it up. By the way, there is also a bottle of medicine. ”

Bai Chu took the envelope and medicine, and Shi Mingxuan said: "If there is nothing else, we will leave first, and you can rest here." ”

When he reached the door, he turned his head and said, "Do not leave this room for three days, but if you do, take the veil that is placed on the table." Thunder and fire are all around, so be careful. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, I will definitely pay attention. ”

After Shi Mingxuan left the room, he took Jiufeng through the arched bridge leading to the front yard of the Jackdaw Inn restaurant, entered the room on the second floor of the restaurant, and asked, "Have you arrived in Yangqing Town?"

Jiufeng replied: "It's already here, and the news has been released to Thunder Fire." ”

Shi Mingxuan nodded: "That's fine, tell me at any time if you have a situation." ”

After Shi Mingxuan and Jiufeng left the room, she looked around, this is an exquisite room, the mangosteen screen divides the room into two, in front of the screen is the main hall of the room, there is a round table and four wooden chairs, there is a desk table near the window, on which stands a vase with fresh flower branches, and a complete set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone is placed on the side. Behind the screen is a wooden bed draped with a white curtain, as well as a barrel and dressing table for bathing.

She leaned on the desk by the window, took out the letter in the envelope, shook off the paper, the handwriting on it was slightly thin, full of bones, like a frost forest without leaves, and wrote a few simple words: Seeing this letter is like seeing Huaisheng, be sure to be kind to the person who comes.

This is a letter from Ah Sheng to her yesterday, he said that when he needs help in the future, he will carry this letter to Zongcheng Chuan Yunxuan, and someone will definitely help.

She closed the letter, put it back in the envelope, and placed it on the table, not with her, and will not take it with her. Because she faintly felt that she would never see Ah Sheng again, the two of them were two completely different lives, like fluttering duckweed, meeting by chance and then separating.

She is embarking on a road of no return, and the fewer people involved, the better.
