In the dead of night, dogs bark in the deep alleys.

Occasionally, a child would cry intermittently, but he was soon lulled to sleep by his mother.

The night, once again, regained its former tranquility.

This is the most ordinary quiet, but it didn't take long for Mo Yuan to open his eyes suddenly, he had always been relatively light sleeping, and the lack of light in the past ten years made his hearing extremely sensitive.

He quietly put on his coat, picked up the sword hanging at the head of the bed, and then stood quietly against the wall next to the door, full of vigilance, the whole process was done in one go, but in just a few tens of seconds, he was ready to fight.

That's right, it's to prepare for battle, if he didn't expect it wrong, the trees outside should have been full of killers at this moment.

He is no longer the carefree Mo Yuan of Mingyuan Valley, leaving that shelter, what he has to do is not only to protect himself, but also to protect the safety of the people around him.

There is Mo Tang in Mingyuan Valley to protect her, and here, he needs to protect it, whether he can do it or not, Mo Yuan must do it, because he wants to protect her, just like she guarded him when she was at Hundred Bird Peak.

Who will come? What will be their purpose?

Mo Yuan thought quickly in his heart, he passed all the people he could think of over me, Shao Xi? That's impossible, after the big change of blood in Cloud Chasing Villa, Shao Xi is just the end of a strong crossbow, and he shouldn't be able to set off any storms.

Could that be the Luo family, one of the four major assassin families that Yu mentioned earlier? Mo Yuan quickly ruled out this possibility, the Luo family's target seemed to be Yu, and they obviously had no friendship with the young man named Yu, so it was naturally not worth the fight.

Then there is only one possibility, the other party's target is not him and Yueyue at all.

After understanding this, Mo Yuan did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became more and more cautious, even if the other party did not come for them, it did not mean that the city gate fire would not affect the pond fish, what he had to do was to hurry to Yueyue's side to protect her, Mo Yuan did not delay for a moment, and immediately rushed to Yin Lingyue's residence.

Yin Lingyue's door was closed, and it was very quiet inside, Mo Yuan knocked lightly on the door, waited for a while, and there was no response, Mo Yuan smiled helplessly, he should know, Yin Lingyue has always slept deeply, and the noise of gongs and drums may not alarm her, hoping to wake her up by knocking on the door like this, it is simply a fantasy.

Mo Yuan knocked on the door again with heavy force, and opened his mouth to call: "Yueyue, Yueyue, I'm Xiao Yuan." ”

Although Mo Yuan's voice was not loud, it seemed very abrupt in such a quiet night, and Mo Yuan did not dare to call again, for fear of disturbing the other guests in the inn.

"You stinky boy, you don't sleep at night and disturb my old man's sleep."

The sudden sound behind him surprised Mo Yuan, he looked back, and what caught his eyes was the sloppy appearance of the crazy old man, he stood lazily and lazily, not doing right, a pair of black feet were naked on the ground, obviously running out in a hurry, he kept yawning, as if accusing Mo Yuan of disturbing his dreams.

"Senior, why are you here too?" Mo Yuan ignored the old man's accusation and asked in a low voice.

Mo Yuan always felt that the crazy old man was not as simple as he imagined, and of course, Mo Yuan didn't fully believe the words that the crazy old man and Yin Lingyue bragged about.

"Why am I here, are you keen? With such a strong killing machine, only that stupid girl can sleep without thunder, you don't want to think about who I am, I think I was also a generation of heroes back then, looking at the world, and ...... the mighty martial arts."

The old man became more and more energetic, and immediately wanted to talk about it back then, Mo Yuan did not stop him, nor did he say a word, although he had already heard the old man's words, but his self-cultivation did not allow him to be unreasonable to a senior, even if it was a very unreasonable senior.

"I said boy, if you want to call that stinky girl, it's not okay to be such a gentleman, look at me, learn more."

After the old man finished speaking, before Mo Yuan could react, he raised his smooth feet and kicked Yin Lingyue's door harder, only to hear the sound of "touch", the door that was not sturdy was broken into several pieces, this is good, what should be disturbed, what should not be disturbed, all of them were disturbed, and the scolding also lived up to expectations, one of them was Yin Lingyue.

"I said stinky old man, which tendon is wrong for you, but why did you come to me in the middle of the night without sleeping! Are you itchy and itchy? ”

Yin Lingyue's eyes were filled with anger, as if he wanted to burn the old man's body through one hundred and eighty holes.

The crazy old man's reaction was also fast, and almost immediately slid behind Mo Yuan like a loach, muttering weakly: "It's none of my business, it's this stinky boy who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and has to come to you, but you can't wake up when you sleep like a dead pig, and you can't wake you up until dawn according to his name!" I couldn't stand the old man, so I reluctantly helped him. No, didn't you wake up right away? ”

"You ......"

Yin Lingyue was about to have a seizure, but Mo Yuan grabbed her and said softly: "Yueyue, hurry up and pack up your things first." ”

"What? Pack up? Yin Lingyue was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing packing up?" ”

"What can you do! Of course, it's a runaway! The old man took the lead and said, "I won't tell you, old man, I have to hurry up and pack my luggage!" ”

"Pack your bags? If I'm not mistaken, you're the only one except for this tattered clothes, where did you get your luggage? Yin Lingyue seized the opportunity and began to taunt him.

"Who said I don't have any luggage, the baked cake I secretly hid last night is still in the room!" After the mad old man finished speaking, he ran away with a gust of wind.

"Xiao Yuan, what's going on?" After the crazy old man left, Yin Lingyue finally remembered to ask Mo Yuan.

"I don't know, but it's full of killers out there, waiting for an opportunity. I don't know what their purpose is, but I initially assume that it has nothing to do with us, but it's just speculation. Mo Yuan replied, "Even so, we have to be cautious, there have been many nonsensical pursuits recently, so we have to guard against it." ”

"Okay, I know, I'll listen to you."

After Yin Lingyue finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the house to pack her things, and after a while, Yin Lingyue was already dressed and walked out with her bags on her back, and the crazy old man also rushed over.

"Senior, do you still want to come with us?" Mo Yuan asked.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? I didn't see that I was ready, the end of the world, it was exciting to think about. The old man's eyes rolled for a moment, and then he said, "Don't forget that I have already taken you as apprentices, and it is a matter of course that the master and apprentice will go together!" Oh, what are you doing more, aren't you running away, time is life at this time, let's hurry up. ”

"That's right, every second counts, let's go! But when did we agree to worship you as a teacher? ”

As soon as Yin Lingyue's words fell, Mo Yuan pulled his hand, "Yueyue, if there is anything to talk about later, let's leave quickly." ”
