Knowing that the little boy's real body was actually Xiaoye Hongdou, Pu Zixuan suddenly realized: "No wonder, you call yourself 'Little Tree', what about your father?" ”

Xiaoshu said lonely: "The demonization of our family started from my grandmother's generation, and my father and I are naturally Xiaoye red beans." However, after my father became a half-demon, he lost his memory and became a madman. Soon after Brother Pu left, my father died, leaving me to live alone in Lijiang, but one day they suddenly broke into my house and arrested me. Brother Pu, can you save me? ”

Seeing that Xiaoshu was so helpless, Pu Zixuan pleaded again: "Master, this little boy is indeed my friend, as long as you can let him go, you can open it." ”

Su Sanniang also persuaded: "Master, I think this Balaizi is a kind monster, so you might as well agree to Pu Zixuan." ”

Seeing the expectant appearance of the two, Zhu Shihua did not back down at all: "Impossible!" You know what it means to us to have such a youkai? As long as you take him with you, whether you are a purification messenger or a monster, the breath will be covered, which is tantamount to putting on an invisible cloak for those who come from our circle, from now on, the enemy is in the light, I am in the dark, whether it is demon subjugation, or sect competition, how much help will it bring us, have you ever thought about it? Is this something that money can be exchanged for? ”

When Pu Zixuan heard this, he immediately understood the rare value of Xiaoshu, and knew that no matter what price he proposed, he would not be able to exchange Xiaoshu's freedom at the moment, but he couldn't see Xiaoshu walking into such an abyss, so he still worked hard: "The apprentice is willing to participate in the New Year's Eve with Su Sanniang as a disciple of Xianjian Hall, and all the monsters caught will belong to the master!" Is this condition okay? ”

Zhu Shihua trembled slightly when he heard this, but quickly shook his head again, raised his hand and said, "Okay, this matter is non-negotiable, you don't have to mention it again." ”

Pu Zixuan suddenly had a lot of anger in his heart, although he called the person in front of him "master", but after all, the two of them are only new acquaintances, and there is no master and apprentice, and they are just some politeness at present.

Pu Zixuan was hesitating whether to have a seizure, and suddenly, another disciple came to the courtyard, and it was the doorman who led him to meet Zhu Shihua, who stepped forward and reported: "Master Zhu, there are two more people outside the door who want to see." ”

Zhu Shihua was stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "It's really lively today." Then he turned to the doorman and asked, "Who is it?" ”

The doorman said: "It's a man and a woman, who say that they are from the Gate of Eternal Life, and they have something important to report." ”

When Zhu Shihua heard this, he was immediately furious: "Hmph, they killed my people and robbed my baby, and they are embarrassed to come to see me?" Reply to them, no! ”

The doorman said, "This ...... They're the leaders of the Alliance......"

Zhu Shihua was even more angry and said: "Hmph, this is what I hate the most, and I will use the identity of the alliance leader to suppress us at every turn!" I have worked so hard to regain these eight sons in order to increase my strength and win back the throne of the alliance leader in time! Today, I want to give them a dismount and let them know that I, Zhu Shihua, am not a person to be slaughtered! ”

The doorman persuaded again: "However, they are still carrying a big box in their hands, saying that they are here to apologize to Hall Master Zhu and compensate the family of the deceased...... I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm the anger of the brothers. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Shihua suddenly softened: "Oh? Could it be that they found out? Okay, you tell them to wait in the lobby, I'll go later, I'll see which one they're playing!" ”

After the doorman was ordered to leave, Zhu Shihua instructed Pu Zixuan and Su Sanniang: "I have something to deal with first, Su Sanniang, you take Pu Zixuan to the wing room to settle down, and tomorrow morning, we will officially start cultivating." ”

"Yes!" Su Sanniang pulled Pu Zixuan's clothes and whispered, "Let's go, settle down first, the matter of the little tree will be discussed in the long run." ”

"Then, Master, I'll go." Pu Zixuan endured the anger in his belly, squeezed his eyes at Xiaoshu, and reluctantly followed Su Sanniang away.

Afterwards, Zhu Shihua also walked out of the room where the monsters were imprisoned, and told the guards: "Remember, no one is allowed to open the door without my order, not even Feng'er!" ”

……

In the palatial lobby,

He Xichen and Lin Huinan were sitting on the side chairs, sipping the Qintang Maojian tea made by the attendants of the Fairy Sword Hall.

The two of them have been waiting for a while, and seeing that the upper seat under the plaque of "Xianjian Hall" is empty, Lin Huinan is not impatient, and tastes tea leisurely: "Well, this Qintang hairy tip, the color is green, it looks comfortable, it tastes tender chestnut fragrance, and the taste is also very sweet. ”

He Xichen couldn't help muttering: "Uncle Lin, I didn't say you, you are still in the mood to drink tea, I am so nervous that my palms are sweaty, alas...... This Hall Master Zhu is too slow. ”

Lin Huinan comforted: "Be patient, it was originally our fault first, it is human nature for Hall Master Zhu to be angry in his heart, and he must be sincere in approving for a while, don't spoil the harmony of the two families." ”

He Xichen snorted: "Dad is really too generous, so his proposal about the status of the alliance leader should also be conveyed to Hall Master Zhu?" ”

Lin Huinan nodded: "Master He will never take it back, anyway, sooner or later, it will be announced, and it will be informed in advance today to inform Hall Master Zhu, which is also more conducive to dispelling his resentment." ”

He Xichen was unwilling to say: "You said, a few days ago, they said that he was not at home, and what they said about going out to cultivate, would it be an excuse?" In fact, it was deliberately embarrassing us and causing us to wait for more than ten days? ”

Lin Huinan smiled: "Come on, what have you done in the past ten days, Uncle Lin still doesn't know?" Speaking of which, I really want to thank that Pu Zixuan, although he fought with me, he relieved me of a piece of my heart. Now, after finishing the business, you can go back to Guilin with Uncle Lin with peace of mind, right? ”

He Xichen pouted and said: "Hmph, it's hard to say, I saw that Chen Shuqing left in a bad mood, and I felt that there was still a chance." I'm still wondering, should I stay in Guiping for two more days? Perhaps, he and Chen Shuqing had a falling out, and he changed his mind and came to Yanmen Tower to find me. ”

Lin Huinan immediately cried out: "Ouch, eldest lady, don't toss me anymore." ”

As he was talking, Zhu Shihua came late and walked into the lobby. He was deliberately late for a while just to embarrass the other party.

When the two saw Zhu Shihua, they hurriedly got up and saluted: "Yo, Hall Master Zhu, take the liberty to disturb, what a lot of offense!" ”

Zhu Shihua was not polite, just nodded slightly, went straight to the main seat and sat down, squinted and said, "Yo, it turned out to be Brother Huinan, who is this little girl?" ”

He Xichen said: "Uncle Zhu doesn't remember me? I am He Xichen, the daughter of Master He. ”

Zhu Shihua was stunned, he didn't expect that He Tianao, the head of the Eternal Life Gate, actually sent his daughter here, and it seemed that he was still a little sincere, so he said: "Oh, He Xichen, it's you, the last time I saw you, you were still such a tall little girl." ”

He Xichen said with a smile: "Yes, when Uncle Zhu came to my Eternal Life Gate as a guest, I was only eight years old, and in a flash, seven or eight years have passed." ”

Zhu Shihua was resentful, and he didn't ask by the way, "Don't come to the head of the family", he looked at the vermilion wood box in Lin Huinan's hand, took a deep breath, and asked: "Then, why did you come to me?" ”

The atmosphere instantly became solemn.

He Xichen was not verbose, and said openly and fairly: "The incident that Uncle Zhu asked us to investigate, Uncle Lin and I have already found out, and the culprit is the damned Qin Yong!" On that day, he intercepted Guitang's men and horses on the mountain road, offered 200 gold to buy the treasures in the cage, and when he refused, he led everyone to rob them by force and killed eleven disciples of Guitang. Later, his purification power dried up, and after being blinded in one eye by your grandson Zhu Yafeng, he led the rest of his army to flee north, and has not been heard from since. ”

Zhu Shihua sneered: "So, you admit that this matter is the cause of the Eternal Life Gate?" ”

He Xichen hurriedly explained: "Although Qin Yong is a disciple of the Eternal Life Sect, this matter is not my father's instruction at all, it is completely his personal behavior!" When my father learned the truth, he was also shocked, and immediately ordered Qin Yong to be expelled from the division! ”

"Hmph, you said that it was Qin Yong's personal behavior, and he could throw away this blood debt cleanly, why should I believe you?"

He Xichen argued: "My father, as the leader of the New Year's Alliance, has always taken the word 'sincerity' as the foundation of his foothold in this world. ”

As soon as I heard this little woman talk about the identity of the alliance leader, there was a faint hint between her words

Unconsciously condescending, Zhu Shihua was even more displeased, and asked, "Hmph, what if it's the leader of the alliance?" If there is no evidence, how can you convince people? What is the evidence for all that you say? ”

He Xichen said: "We also verified that after Qin Yong escaped, on the way, the disciples of the Eternal Life Sect who supported him and those who opposed him were also split into two factions, and there was also infighting. Twelve members of the opposition were killed, most of the supporters were killed or wounded, and in the end, Qin Yong disappeared with the remaining four people. Please also ask Uncle Zhu for the sake of our two years' friendship, believe in the little girl, and believe in my father! ”

"Okay, even if it is true that Qin Yong was greedy and did such a hurtful thing, it was also your father He Tianao's lax discipline! It was his indulgence over the years that cultivated such a demon as Qin Yong! We can't afford to suffer such a big dumb loss because of one of your explanations, right? ”

Seeing that Zhu Shihua actually counted his father's no, He Xichen suddenly became annoyed, raised his voice and said, "Do you think my father is willing?" Is our loss smaller than that of your Immortal Sword Hall? Now, Qin Yong is not only the enemy of your Immortal Sword Hall, but also the enemy of our Eternal Life Gate! My father is already looking for him everywhere, vowing to mobilize the whole force to arrest him, and then behead him to thank the world! This is the responsibility of our Eternal Life Sect as the leader of the alliance, can it be done by other sects? ”

Zhu Shihua slammed the table: "Presumptuous! ”

Lin Huinan saw He Xichen talking about the smell of gunpowder on the side, and immediately got up and greeted him with a smile: "The little girl can't speak, Master Zhu must not worry about her!" The fact is that Master He also realized that this was his fault for not being strict in discipline, and in addition to severely punishing Qin Yong, he also decided to compensate the dead disciples of Guitang. ”

After speaking, Lin Huinan opened the box, pointed to the box full of gold and silver, and said: "Here, there are a total of thirty-seven taels of gold and six hundred and twenty-four taels of silver, what we can redeem in Guiping County, for the time being, I hope that Hall Master Zhu will forgive me." ”

Zhu Shihua didn't answer, slowly walked down from his seat, came to the box, silently picked up an ingot of gold, squinted at it, and lowered his voice slightly: "Compensation, I will definitely accept it, everyone knows that I Zhu is a person who loves money, but I will give all this gold and silver to the families of the deceased, and I will not leave a single child." However, this is not enough, I want you to be in front of my many disciples, Fa-rectification Qin Yong, I want to watch him fall, watch him struggle desperately in a pool of blood, to relieve the hatred in my heart! ”

Lin Huinan saw that Zhu Shihua gave him the stairs, smiled knowingly, and said again: "Hall Master Zhu and Master He thought together, Master He said, if other sects find Qin Yong first, regardless of whether he is dead or alive, as long as it is handed over to him, he is willing to give up the position of alliance leader!" ”

These words completely touched Zhu Shihua's heart, and he was suddenly shocked: "Does he really mean this? ”

He Xichen said: "It's true, we don't dare to talk nonsense about such a major decision." ”

Zhu Shihua sighed: "Even in our covenant, there is no provision that if the leader of the alliance has the behavior of harming other sects, he must give up the position of the leader of the alliance...... Okay, since Master He is so sincere, then this grievance, I, Zhu, can put it aside for the time being. On the day when Qin Yong goes to hell, our Immortal Sword Hall and the Eternal Life Gate will still be a family that shares blessings and hardships! ”

Lin Huinan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Hall Master Xie Zhu!" After speaking, Chong He Xichen also gave him a look.

He Xichen reluctantly asked: "Thank you, Hall Master Zhu." ”

Zhu Shihua was about to send off the guests, Lin Huinan suddenly thought of something, and said, "Oh, there is one more thing, I hope that the master of Zhu Hall will give me some advice." ”

Zhu Shihua was stunned: "What else is going on?" ”

Lin Huinan said: "I don't know where to sell Qintang Maojian tea?" I want to take a few catties back to Guilin by the way. ”

He Xichen squinted and said, "Cut!" Bored! ”

Zhu Shihua laughed and said: "Don't look for someone else for this, it's rare to come once, the two of you will stay in my house tonight, take care of food and housing, and I will arrange for a guy to prepare a box full of Qintang Maojian for you, and calculate your silver taels according to the market price." Come on, prepare two rooms! ”

Lin Huinan said happily: "Thank you Hall Master Zhu!" ”

He Xichen couldn't wait to pass out.
