Ling Xiao didn't know what the people of the Dragon Kingdom were doing with them under house arrest, and this kind of thing would never happen before.

Because the leader of the demon alliance formed by the six countries of Yunzhou is still Su Jiu's mother, the demon king Su Xi.

If Su Xi learned that his final beloved daughter was detained by the people of the Dragon Kingdom, according to the character of the Holy Lord, he would immediately lead troops to destroy the Dragon Kingdom.

Therefore, according to his conjecture, things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, there must be a third-party force involved, and this force is powerful enough to make the Dragon Kingdom take risks and do such a transgressive thing.

No matter what the purpose of the Dragon Kingdom is, he and Su Jiu have now become meat on the knife board, to be slaughtered.

Entering the courtyard, the young man slowly closed the gate, originally planning to discuss with his Taoist master how to escape.

It can be seen that Su Jiu didn't take a few steps before he fainted on the ground, spitting blood from his mouth.

"Xiao Jiu, what's wrong with you?" Ling Xiao hurriedly ran over, picked up Su Jiu's body with his hand, put his fingers between his eyebrows, and entered a trace of spiritual sense into his body.

"Get out of here, I don't need you to worry about Su Jiu!"

This was the first time in Su Jiu's life that he was angry with Ling Xiao, and he pushed Ling Xiao away with all his might, looking haggard, but he still stood up alone.

Seeing that he was about to come over, he simply pulled out the fox knife on the young man's waist, put it against his neck, and threatened: "Ling Xiao, if you take one step further, I will kill myself." ”

Although Ling Xiao had said this before, it was a joke and it should not be taken seriously.

But after seeing Su Jiu's firm gaze, she already knew that she had really done it.

"Xiao Jiu, what's wrong with you, put the knife down, don't do anything stupid."

Su Jiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, kept retreating, trying to distance the two as much as possible.

She pinned her hopes on the boy again and again, but all she got was lies, deception, and even betrayal.

This time, Su Jiu was completely dead to this young man who was full of heavenly fox righteousness, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked the young man in an indifferent tone.

"Brother Ling Xiao, you also know that we can't escape, why don't you think of other ways?

For example, kill Xiao Jiu directly, so as not to be used as a bargaining chip by the people of the Dragon Kingdom to blackmail Lingshan, so that you can kill two birds with one stone and successfully complete the task assigned by your father. ”

Sometimes, it's not that she doesn't understand, but she just doesn't want to think about it.

Why did Ling Qian assassinate her? And who is behind it? Is it hard to figure out the context?

Along the way, Su Jiu was waiting for Ling Xiao to give him an answer, even if it was an explanation or a lie.

But he didn't.

Ling Xiao was speechless, as for what Su Jiu said, he had really thought about it before.

The first time he received his father's order, when Ling Qian was forced to choose between Heavenly Fox Dayi and the Dao Master, he was intercepted by the Templars.

He had thought about it, and put his thoughts into action, even if he knew that because of the forbidden spell of life and death, he would also die with the Dao Master.

For the sake of Tianhu's righteousness, the overall situation of Lingshan, even if he is asked to pay for his life, he doesn't care.

However, when he really experienced the pain of the passing of his life as Su Jiu said, his faith had already begun to waver.

What young people are really afraid of is not the passing of life, but the nostalgia for the mundane world.

Ling Xiao was silent for a few breaths, and slowly replied.

"Xiao Jiu, do you know all these things?"

At this time, Su Jiu became calm, walked slowly in front of Ling Xiao, raised the young man's chin with his fingers, and the two looked at each other for a few breaths, and then asked in a flat tone.

"Ling Xiao, do you know what a sword slave is? What is the duty of the sword slave? Do you know what will happen to the sword slave who betrays his Dao master? ”

At this time, Ling Xiao finally understood that Su Jiu in front of her was no longer the little fox demon who only knew how to cry thirty years ago, she had changed, more precisely, she had grown.

He prostrate, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed three times, and then replied respectfully: "Xiao Jiu, no, Dao Master."

Ling Xiao remembered that he was a sword slave one day and a sword slave all his life.

What is a Sword Slave? The sword slave is the sword in the hands of the Dao Master, the sword in the heart, and the sword of the Dao Master, and should only obey the orders of the Dao Master.

If you violate it, you should be punished by digging your heart, and betraying the Taoist master is a first-class crime of extermination.

Dao Master, I have betrayed your trust in me, and I will be responsible for what I have done before. ”

After speaking, Ling Xiao immediately picked up the fox knife on the ground, aimed it at his heart, and prepared to take out his heart with a knife.

Su Jiu didn't mean to stop it, but finally asked the young man a word.

"Brother Ling Xiao, have you ever liked me, even if you only have a hint of affection?"

This time, the girl asked so bluntly, without concealment, without the slightest verbal metaphor, and her eyes were even more real, full of the hope of getting the real answer in the teenager's heart.

Time stopped flowing, frozen at this moment, the two stared at each other in silence, the girl didn't know how long the real time had passed, maybe only a moment, or maybe a long time had passed.

With a sigh, the girl smiled lightly and said slowly: "Okay, Brother Ling Xiao, I understand, from now on, I won't ask again, and I won't pester you anymore." ”

The girl laughed and laughed, and suddenly burst into tears, she didn't know why she was crying, why she was still emotional about this teenager.

After crying for a long time, until there were no more tears in his eyes, Su Jiu opened his eyes.

Seeing that the young man had been silently guarding his side, Su Jiu wiped away his tears, so he took out a delicate and small wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to him.

"Sword slave, you have committed such a big mistake, you want to apologize with death, once you have a hundred, how can it be so easy in the world, eat it."

Ling Xiao took the wooden box with his hand and opened it, a dazzling light was fleeting, and he found that it was actually an elixir inside, looking at the color, the grade was very high, and it was definitely from the hand of the great master of alchemy.

Without half a minute of hesitation, I swallowed it in one gulp.

The pill melted in the mouth, and the medicinal power slowly flowed through the limbs and hundreds of bones throughout the young man's body, and soon, the medicinal power of the pill began to take effect.

Ling Xiao felt that his blood had stopped flowing, and all the spiritual power in the Dantian Inland Sea was being dissolved by an external force, expelling outward, and with a roar of pain, he fell to the ground weakly.

In an instant, a faint green gas began to emerge from around the body, and the gas became darker and darker.

Su Jiu's eyes silently looked at the young man lying on the ground who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and there was no emotional change from the appearance, and only after the gas that came out turned from green to black, did he explain in a flat tone.

"This pill is the Five Elements Qi Pill that I refined in my cultivation in Xuanwu Mountain, which can dissolve all the complicated qi in the body and return it to its origin, so I don't need to say more, you should also understand what this pill means to cultivators?

The spirit master who eats this pill, all his cultivation is in vain, no different from ordinary mortals, he can be called a real poison pill, and a total of three are refined before and after, which was originally prepared for the old turtle and the stuffy gourd senior sister of Xuanwu Mountain.

However, when it comes to you, a traitor, it is to the best of its ability. ”
