###映月府正门处

"Thank you for sending me back." Gu Yanran thanked Nangong Xuanyi for her thoughtfulness.

Nangong Xuanyi raised his hand and rubbed the top of Gu Yanran's hair. "Polite words are avoided, looking at your tired face, let's go back to the house and rest."

"Leave me alone." Gu Yanran grabbed Nangong Xuanyi's hand. "You wait for me here, I want to return something to its original owner, wait for me!"

Before Nangong Xuanyi could ask what that thing was, he saw Gu Yanran running into the door of the mansion with a puff of smoke.

"Huh." Nangong Xuanyi smiled helplessly, so she had to stand in place and wait for her.

And he was also very curious, what she said in her mouth, 'things return to their original owners'...... What does that mean?

Suddenly, a figure jumped out of nowhere and landed beside Nangong Xuanyi.

"Master." Qi Yuan clenched his fists and bowed.

Nangong Xuanyi stood with his hands in his hands. "What?"

Today, he seemed to be traveling with Gu Yanran, but Qi Yuan and several other secret guards were following him in the dark.

Before leaving, he ordered Qi Yuan to follow secretly, and on the premise that there was no danger happening, Qi Yuan and they should not take the initiative to show up.

"The secret guards have captured two groups of people on the outskirts of the city, one team is the prince's guard, a full of four people, and the other team is the killers of the Heavenly Killing Gate, only one person, it seems that they are here for Miss Gu."

"Hell?" Nangong Xuanyi tightened his brows, wondering how Gu Yanran and a female streamer could provoke the people of the Heavenly Killer Sect.

Qi Yuan asked for instructions. "What should I do?"

"The prince's men and horses, kill, no one remains, as for the person who kills the door...... Go straight to the means and see if you can get something out of his mouth. Nangong Xuanyi commanded.

"Yes." Qi Yuan received the order and was about to retreat.

"Wait." Nangong Xuanyi called Qi Yuan. "Send extra people to ensure her safety."

Of course, Qi Yuan knew who Nangong Xuanyi's 'she' was referring to. "My subordinates will do it."

Since Qi Yuan disappeared into the shadows, Nangong Xuanyi waited for half a burnt incense before Gu Yanran appeared.

"I've been waiting." Gu Yanran stepped down the stairs in front of the mansion step by step, and handed over a delicate brocade box in her hand to Nangong Xuanyi. "Here's it."

"What is this?" Nangong Xuanyi opened the brocade box, and after seeing the objects in the brocade box, his breath stagnated, and then his face changed. "It?!"

At a glance, he recognized that this was the 'Pearl of the Night' that he had accidentally left behind when he encountered danger five years ago!

"This is yours, and now, I will return it to its rightful owner." Gu Yanran raised her eyes and walked into the deep whirlpool under Nangong Xuanyi's eyes.

Nangong Xuanyi tried his best to suppress the manic killing intent in his heart that was about to explode before asking. "How could it be in your hands?"

His killing intent was not aimed at Gu Yanran, but the culprits who caused him to be in danger and forced to disappear for five years.

"This night pearl was sent by Shen Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials as a congratulatory gift before I joined Shangheng Academy." Gu Yanran did not hide it.

She knew that even if she had something to hide, with Nangong Xuanyi's identity and means, she would be able to investigate the matter clearly without much effort.

"Shen He?" Nangong Xuanyi sneered when he heard this. "Oh, I didn't expect him to follow suit."

Gu Yanran looked at his reaction, and became more and more sure of her previous guess. "This night pearl really has something to do with the events of the year, right?"

In fact, she had already associated Nangong Xuanyi's disappearance with the change of ownership of the Night Pearl, but apart from these two points, she could no longer collect other clues.

Nangong Xuanyi didn't answer Gu Yanran's 'yes' and 'no', and closed the lid of the brocade box with one hand, looking slightly cold.

"Let's talk." He had to figure out a couple of questions.

It was the first time Gu Yanran saw Nangong Xuanyi talking to her with this expression, which reminded her of the scene where he broke into Yingyue Pavilion and threatened him with a dagger that night.

"Now?" Gu Yanran looked at the sky, it was not early.

"Now."

Gu Yanran was helpless, and turned sideways to invite Nangong Xuanyi to come over. "Please."

## #主院, nave

Gu Yanran withdrew the perilla that had already prepared refreshments. "Shisu, you step back first."

"Yes, girl." Zi Su blessed his body, and bowed to Nangong Xuanyi before exiting the house

"Just ask if you have anything to ask, but just say it in advance, I know very little, and I may not be able to answer your question." Gu Yanran picked up the tea cup in her hand and brought it to her mouth.

Nangong Xuanyi's eyes were slightly rippling. "You like me?"

"Poof!!" Gu Yanran spewed out a mouthful of tea soup, and couldn't hold back a few light coughs. "Ahem, ahem...... What, what? ”

"I heard that you fell in love with me at first sight." Nangong Xuanyi said slowly.

Gu Yanran's eyes widened. "Who said that?!"

Which bastard is making her rumors again?

"Country, division." Nangong Xuanyi only said these two words.

"......" Gu Yanran's expression froze.

Oh my God, Master Guoshi, what else do you say, 'The Netherworld has always adhered to the content of the employer's entrustment', are you such a fool?

"I also heard ......" Nangong Xuanyi leaned forward, approached Gu Yanran and asked with a smile. You have all your money to entrust the Netherworld with the search for my whereabouts? ”

"Not really!" Gu Yanran stood up helplessly and took a few steps away from him. "You, you, don't get me wrong, those, those are just, expedient, yes, expedient, can't be true!"

"Expediency?" Nangong Xuanyi got up and walked towards Gu Yanran.

Gu Yanran panicked. "Ah, you stop, don't don't, don't come!"

Nangong Xuanyi approached step by step, while Gu Yanran cowered and retreated until there was no way back.

“！！” Gu Yanran found that she was leaning her back against the pillar, and was just about to take a different route to continue retreating, but suddenly two palms grazed the side of her neck, trapping her firmly between the pillar and a long body.

Nangong Xuanyi leaned over, tilted his head slightly, and his thin lips with a slight blood-colored color almost touched Gu Yanran's earlobe. "Are you still running away?"

"Hmm." Gu Yanran was burned by the hot and humid breath in her ears.

And in Nangong Xuanyi's slightly drooping sight, I saw that she first reddened the tips of her ears, then her cheeks, then her neck, and then her wrists.

As long as the skin is not covered by clothes, it is dyed pink that is full of reverie.

"You're tempting me." Nangong Xuanyi gently rubbed her delicate red earlobes with her fingertips.

"Who seduced you!" Gu Yanran exploded directly in annoyance, and raised her hand against his chest. "Let go, let go of me!"

However, for Nangong Xuanyi, Gu Yanran's tickling strength couldn't shake him at all.

"Huh." Nangong Xuanyi's eyes floated with a deep smile. "Yan'er, you ...... like this But how can I be willing to let go? ”
