[Ji Tao: It's better not to know some truths, because the truth will be more cruel than the illusion, and it will make you more sad and unacceptable. 】

"This item is a relic from an ancient blood clan, and it is said that anyone who can open this box can get a large amount of unexpected wealth! As for what's in the box, please take a picture and give it a try! Starting price: 100 billion gold coins! ”

The host pulled open the red cloth as he spoke, Xue Liyue's eyes suddenly widened, and at the same time, "Bang!" With a bang, he got up and put the glass of water on the table.

Xue Liyue's eyes looked carefully at the item on the stage, it was a small wooden box, but it gave people the feeling of seeing a rare treasure, the box had staggered and unique lines, simple and unpretentious, and there was a delicate small lock on the front.

What shocked Xue Liyue was actually the pattern on the top of the box, which was the black and purple green ivy pattern that he was familiar with!

"Ancient Bloods? Interracial totems... Isn't that right? ”

Xue Liyue suddenly thought of something, if his conjecture was true, then Emperor Xuanlie's situation would be very dangerous, and they had to find them quickly!

The other side

As soon as Shizome came out of the private room, he wandered aimlessly around the entire auction hall, lowering his head and thinking about what had just happened.

She was very surprised by the change in Xue Liyue's attitude before and after, and at the same time felt a little aggrieved, maybe Xiran didn't fully trust Xue Liyue, she originally wanted to explain her things to him, but she didn't expect Xue Liyue to turn her face faster than turning a book, which made her suddenly disheartened.

Distraught, she decided to empty her brain, no longer think about Xue Liyue, and began to think about a series of things that had happened recently, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, as for what was weird, she really couldn't say it for a while.

Suddenly, a figure flickered in front of her eyes, and hurried away. The man was dressed in a black trench coat and a hat, which looked out of place at this time of year.

That is, she successfully attracted Shizome's attention, and she stared carefully at the distant back, which suddenly coincided with the back of another person in her mind.

Shizome hurriedly and quietly followed the man in black, followed the man in black and left the auction hall, turned left and right, and unconsciously walked into a remote dead end, Shizoran stepped forward only to find that it was empty!

"How is that possible? What about people? ”

Xi Ran looked at the empty space in front of her, and there was a high wall in front of her, she obviously followed the man in black, how could there be no one? It was only then that she began to look around, and she realized that she had been led to such a remote and uninhabited place.

It was still evening just now, and now that the night was falling, the cold wind blew gently, but it made Shizoan frightened a wit, looking at the dim and empty surroundings, she immediately took out the dagger for self-defense, and was prepared, she didn't believe that people could disappear for no reason.

"How did you have the guts to come along, and then you knew that you were scared?" The familiar voice of banter came from the darkness, and gradually the silhouette of the figure became clear, slowly walking towards the tide of the dair.

"Ji Tao! Sure enough, it's you! I haven't asked you about the last time, but what are you doing at the auction this time? ”

After Xi Ran saw the person who came, she was not surprised at all, after all, she had participated in the primary assessment with Ji Tao before, how could she not recognize Ji Tao's figure?

"What else can I do when I go to the auction house, of course, auction things." Ji Tao had already taken off his hat at this time, but the black windbreaker was still draped on his body, and he said with a cynical look.

"Shoot something? What did you shoot? Xi Ran looked at him vigilantly, Ji Tao gave her a mysterious feeling, she couldn't see through it, and she couldn't figure it out.

"No, no, no, I'm a seller. Have you heard of Pandora's Box? I just went and sold a wooden box. Ji Tao took out the folding fan that he had been accustomed to holding in his hand from his arms, opened it leisurely to fan himself, and explained.

"Pandora's box? You went to sell a wooden box? No, is there any connection between that? Who are you? ”

Xi Ran was confused by Ji Tao's mysterious attitude, and a series of questions made Ji Tao shake his head again and again: "It doesn't matter who I am, with your skill in asking so many questions, you should go and find the fifth prince who is with you, he knows the wooden box." ”

"How do you know that you're following us? Could this be ... Xiran listened to Ji Tao's words and immediately became alert.

"No, no, no, it's just a coincidence, and a little reasoning can be launched. I'm just here to kindly give you a hint, your friend who took the assessment last time is now in a very dangerous situation. ”

"Do you know where he is? What did you do to him? Xiran stepped forward suddenly, and the dagger was put on Ji Tao's neck again, reflecting the cold light.

"No, why don't you move like this, and it's still this dagger. I don't know anything else, I just know that they were taken away, and I happened to pass by the courtyard of the departed son that night, and saw a small group of people with two people left, and I really don't know where to go. ”

Ji Tao stopped waving the fan, looked helplessly at the dagger that was put on his neck again, and rolled his eyes and said.

"Taken away... Leaving the child. It's true? Xiran was even more confused when he heard this, why is this Ligongzi Xue Rongqing's person? But after thinking about it for a moment, he sent the dagger forward and sent it to confirm.

"Really." Ji Tao responded with a sincere face, and Xi Ran looked at it and planned to believe it again, so he took back the dagger and said, "Okay, I'll believe you once." But what you said last time, do you know anything about my background? ”

"I can't tell you this yet, and I need to verify it too. You'd better live your own peaceful life, and it's best not to have anything to do with the Blood Demon Palace. Ji Tao straightened his figure, opened the folding fan again, and stroked the fan blade with his hand to persuade him.

"Why?"

"There are so many reasons in this world, and some things don't need to be why."

Ji Tao turned to leave, sighing as he walked, just when Xi Ran was about to step forward to stop, Ji Tao stopped, but did not look back at Xi Ran, and left another sentence, "I advise you to put away your curiosity and live your life peacefully, the truth of some things is like Pandora's box, don't open it, don't go deeper." "With that, the smoke disappeared without a trace.

Because Ji Tao's spirit pattern is fog, it can instantly blend into the air and move to other places, so this person has already walked to the brightly lit street now, fanning the folding fan, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes are deep, and his expression is unpredictable.

Leaving Xiran alone in that dead end, she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, she felt that her head was a little insufficient, and the last sentence was a warning to herself not to check her life experience?

And don't have anything to do with the Blood Demon Palace, I'm sorry for this, I'm going to have to make the Blood Demon Palace pay the price and avenge the master!

As for the truth of the matter, I will continue to investigate, I don't care about Pandora's box, sooner or later I will find out!

Xi Ran looked at the place where Ji Tao disappeared, and secretly thought to herself that it was absolutely impossible for her to give up, and in the face of the difficulties and dangers ahead, she had to become stronger in order to complete her goal.

Thinking of Emperor Xuanlie and them again, his thoughts were a little disturbed, who could go and take them away from Gongzi's courtyard? And who is Childe, the previous investigation didn't find anything wrong with him, where did she go to find it?

Suddenly, she thought of Xue Liyue again, it should be much faster to find it with his manpower, but when she thought that she had just finished arguing with Xue Liyue, she was reluctant to run back to him to help, and she couldn't pull that face.

But after thinking of Ji Tao's words just now, maybe Xue Liyue should know who took Emperor Xuanlie and them, and he should also know more information, so she can just keep an eye on Xue Liyue's actions, maybe she can find them.

"Smack!" Thinking about it, Shizome suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he clapped his hands excitedly, with a smile on his face, and said excitedly: "Yes, then I'll just keep an eye on the big ice cube." ”
