After Ji Ran's figure disappeared to the bottom of the building, Xiao Qi immediately ran to the door near the corridor.

After a while, she heard a familiar footstep approaching from the bottom up, and soon appeared in the hallway on the third floor.

She hadn't figured out why Ji Ran was here, but she heard a sudden greeting not far from the door.

In some kind of pretended laughter, Ji Ran talked to the people outside in a low voice.

Xiao Qi listened very hard, although she recognized it as Ji Ran's voice at the first ear, but she still couldn't hear what the other party said.

With a slight knock on the door, silence returned to everything outside.

Only then did she quietly open the door on the side of Tianyu Yingyu, and looked through the gap towards the place where Fang Cai's voice came from.

- The door on Yaochi Yuli's side was closed, and only two maids stood at the door, waiting for the orders of the guests in the house.

"Guest?" The waiter standing at the door on call noticed Xiao Qi's movements, and looked over with some curiosity, "What are you looking at?" ”

“…… Ah, no. Xiao Qi hurriedly shook his head, "I just heard a little noise outside, come over and see what's wrong." ”

"Oh, there's a new guest on the other side."

Xiao Qi nodded thoughtfully and closed the door again.

Will a person like Ji Ran also have daily entertainment to go?

Even if she closed the door, Xiao Qi didn't immediately turn back to the table, she stood alone for a while, always feeling as if she had missed something, until the memories of going to Daizong Mountain with Feng Yan for the first time suddenly appeared, and she realized one thing in hindsight - the He family, isn't it Ji Ran's own family?

Ji is his mother's surname, and Ji Ran seems to have broken off the relationship with the He family at a very young age......

Then everything makes sense—this is the father seeing the son.

Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Okay, Ji Ran didn't come for her today.

The elders of the New Year made an appointment, and she understood this too well - either Father He wanted to find a chance to reconcile, or arranged a blind date for the juniors...... Although it is unlikely that the two parties will meet when they come up, it is quite common to ask a matchmaker to look at the portrait and talk about family life.

The Li family had also arranged for Feng Yishu before, but unfortunately the fifth brother was not enlightened at that time, and in the middle of the meal, he encountered something in the Ping Demon Department, so he dropped his chopsticks and ran away.

Xiao Qi sat back in his place and calmed down a little.

Wait a minute......

Xiao Qi suddenly choked.

- If the He family really asked a matchmaker to come over to show Ji Ran the painting, would there be a portrait of her in it?

Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Qi's cheeks quickly burned, she covered her face with both hands, and all ten toes in her shoes were twisted together.

She couldn't tell her mood at the moment, she only felt a huge embarrassment crashing down, which made her a little flustered and a little resistant.

No, no......

Probably not.

If the Li family really starts to plan to arrange family affairs for her, then before handing over the picture scroll to the matchmaker, the mother will definitely greet her in advance......

Xiao Qi lowered his head and covered his head.

Stop!

Stop thinking about all these nonsense!

Huai Qing looked at Xiao Qihong's white face for a while, stretched out her hand and stabbed the three thousand years old opposite, and motioned to the little fox to look at Xiao Qi next to her - she had a complicated expression since just now, a moment of bitterness and hatred, and a moment of relief.

Three thousand years old ate so much that he didn't care about people, and he let out a raised tone of doubt with a chirp, but he never looked up.

Huai Qing put his four fingers together and clenched them into a fist, knocking on the table in front of Xiao Qi.

"What are you thinking?" He asked, "I've been worried about it since I started." ”

Xiao Qi rubbed his temples, "...... I'm a little uncomfortable. Hurry up and eat, and when you're done, we'll leave. ”

As soon as Huai Qing wanted to say something, there was suddenly an unusual silence in the room.

Xiao Qi and Huai Qing reacted quickly—the chewing sound of the three-thousand-year-old beast suddenly stopped.

The fox looked up warily in the direction of the door.

Huai Qing immediately looked in the direction of the three thousand years old's gaze, and his expression quickly showed a slight doubt.

Only Xiao Qi was still at a loss.

Huai Qing got up silently and crept slowly along the outer wall of the private room to the other end of the room.

There are only two private seats on the third floor of the Jade Candle Tower, and the Yaochi Yuli and the Tianlu Yingyu are two connected rings.

After a while, Huai Qing came back again.

"Let's go now." He picked up the hat on the table, "Something isn't quite right next door." ”

"Yes...... What's wrong? ”

"It's a bit murderous."

"Murderous?" Xiao Qi's eyes widened, "Who killed whom?" ”

"I don't know, it's tense anyway," Huai Qing counted the dishes on the table, "There are still three dishes that haven't been served, let them be ready in a while and send them home directly." ”

"Good!" Michitose raised his claws in agreement.

"-Wait!" Xiao Qi jumped up, "Did you make a mistake, how could you be murderous?" ”

Huai Qing said, "I didn't look closely, there were a few people standing by their windows, they should all be monks, if they approached rashly, they would definitely be aware...... How, do you know the person opposite? ”

Xiao Qi didn't know how to answer, "I...... Just watched a friend...... Passed. ”

The three of them looked at each other.

……

Soon, Xiao Qi and his party left Tianyu Yingyu, and at the checkout, Xiao Qi ordered a few more roast geese with a complicated expression to be delivered, and in a polite joke with the shopkeeper, the two of them gradually disappeared on the street at the front door of the Jade Candle Building.

Xiao Qi carried the three thousand years old and ran all the way on the street in the afternoon.

"Slow down, slow down," Michitose said lazily, "don't be in such a hurry......"

"How far do you have to run before you can turn back?"

"Three streets."

Xiao Qi frowned, anyway, she didn't eat much at noon, she wasn't hungry or supported at this time, and holding a fox didn't affect her running speed at all.

She made a deal with some roast geese and three thousand years old, so that the latter could take her to sneak into Yaochi Yuli's private room to have a look, if the breath of the three of them was hidden directly next door, it was almost obvious to remind the other party that "we have ghosts here", so she could only pretend to leave first.

Xiao Qi's palms were dripping with sweat.

In the short break, the girl couldn't help but look back and look at the towering jade candle tower behind her.

What kind of father and son will be murderous when they meet......

"Huaiqing," Xiao Qi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Don't go back with me for a while, you just stay here." ”

“…… Why? ”

"If an hour has passed, Ji Ran and I haven't come out yet, you go back immediately and tell me about it-"

Xiao Qiyi was a little hesitant.

The fifth brother is not at home, otherwise he will directly ask Huai Qing to go home and call people at this time;

As for Sister A and brother-in-law, as well as Du Tianshi, Lord Yin...... At this time, they are all on Daizong Mountain, and the distant water can't save the near fire.

So what about telling dad and mom?

No, no-last time, in order to find her, the Li family fell into the water in the middle of the night, if Wei Xingzhen hadn't happened to pass by, I'm afraid something would have happened.

As for the sixth brother, what kind of person he is, he is still a little unclear for the time being......

Can you trust him?
