"Uncle Chen, wait a minute!"

Chen Shui got out of the tent and was walking forward alone, when he was suddenly stopped by a voice behind him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Ye Xiao.

"Well, what's the matter?" Chen Shui stopped, looked at Ye Xiao who followed with a little confusion and asked.

Ye Xiao asked with a gentle smile, "Uncle Chen, I have something I want to ask you about, I don't know if it's convenient for you now?" ”

"Well, I'm idle now anyway, so just ask any questions." Chen Shui replied nonchalantly.

"Thank you."

After speaking, Ye Xiao stood motionless in place, and he didn't speak.

Seeing this, Chen Shui shrugged his shoulders and said, "I know that the scenery of a place is good, if you are interested, please accompany me around." ”

"Yes."

Under the leadership of Chen Shui, the two soon came to a remote cliff outside the camp, where they could overlook most of the mountains and forests of Yinquan Mountain, and the scenery was indeed relatively open.

"Well, there's probably no one here." Chen Shui looked at the scenery in front of him and took a deep breath, then turned his head to look at Ye Xiao and said, "If you have any questions, just ask them now." ”

When Ye Xiao heard this, he first opened his mouth and moved, and then showed an apologetic smile to Chen Shui and said, "Uncle Chen, in fact, I came to you this time to ask about the vice principal. ”

"Old wood?" Chen Shui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of him?" And you're a disciple of Senior Brother, why don't you just ask him? ”

Ye Xiao replied honestly: "I have actually asked the teacher, and he told me that the vice principal is now staying in the Supreme Council because of the matter of Xinghai Academy, but I always feel that things are not so simple. ”

"Oh?" Chen Shui raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you already have an idea, why bother to ask me again?" ”

Ye Xiao's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked directly at Chen Shui and asked, "Uncle Chen, is the vice principal under house arrest by the Supreme Council?" ”

Chen Shui's eyes couldn't help narrowing, he looked at Ye Xiao fixedly for a while, and asked rhetorically, "Who did you listen to about this?" ”

"When I went back to Cambrian this time, I learned that the vice principal had gone to the Supreme Council because of Teacher Yin's matter, and the teacher took me to meet with Hei Feng and Cao Yin, which obviously had another purpose."

Ye Xiao's eyes became solemn, and he said slowly, "Plus this time I saw Senior Uncle Chen come to explore the ruins of Hidden Spring Mountain on behalf of the Mu family, so I have such a speculation. ”

Chen Shui looked at Ye Xiao and said noncommittally: "Well, I came here on behalf of the Mu family for other reasons, not what you think." ”

Ye Xiao couldn't help frowning and said, "Could it be that I guessed wrong?" ”

Chen Shui looked at Ye Xiao, who was confused, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother didn't want to violate the rules of the Cambrian Academy and put pressure on the High Council by forming a faction, his purpose is actually to protect you juniors!" ”

"Huh? Protect us? ”

Ye Xiao couldn't help but look stunned, and after pondering for a few seconds, he finally reacted, "The teacher is doing this for Cao Yin?" ”

Chen Shui nodded, then shook his head again and said, "Yin's defection has not only had a direct impact on Lao Mu and Cao Yin, but you and Yan Hua are also within the scope of the impact. If Senior Brother hadn't done this, I'm afraid you would have been targeted by the Supreme Council by now. ”

After listening to everything Chen Shui said, Ye Xiao was stunned for several minutes, and finally let out a sigh of relief, and asked with a complicated expression: "But if you do this, won't it bring more trouble to the vice principal?" ”

"Well, since the old wood has arranged these things, he must be sure to resist the pressure."

Chen Shui walked up to Ye Xiao, stretched out his hand on the other party's head and said, "As an elder, I naturally want to protect you, and you just need to live up to Lao Mu's hard work." ”

“...... Yes, I see. ”

Ye Xiao lowered his head and said movingly, and then looked up at Chen Shui helplessly, "Uncle Shi, can you stop touching my head, so that I always feel as if I am still a child." ”

Chen Shui withdrew his palm and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally took you for Yan Hua's kid." ”

"Senior Brother Yan Hua?" Ye Xiao asked curiously.

"Well, that's the kid." Chen Shui replied, "Why haven't you seen him this time?" ”

Ye Xiao said regretfully: "I haven't stayed in the academy for a long time this time, so I haven't had the opportunity to meet Senior Brother Yan Hua, and even the fact that he became the seventh seat of the Adjudication Court was only heard about after coming to the Eastern Gathering Place. Now that I hear my uncle mention it, I suddenly want to meet him. ”

Chen Shui waved his hand and said, "Well, this is not in a hurry, when this mission is over, I will definitely take you to get to know you." ”

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that my birthday is coming soon, and I will also ask Senior Brother Yan Hua to make me a cake when the time comes." ”

"Haha!" Chen Shui smiled, "I didn't expect you to like this too, let me tell you......"

Chen Shui was introducing the cake that Yan Hua had made at Hei Feng's birthday banquet last time to Ye Xiao, but he didn't know that the person they were discussing had already come to the Eastern Gathering Place, and there was only half a day away from Hidden Spring Mountain.

......

On the endless plain, Yan Hua and Yan Tian were hurrying behind Bai Qi.

The killing intent around him gradually faded, and Yan Hua came to the other party's side at this time, and couldn't help but ask, "You don't seem to like those elders of the Bai family very much, but why do you still want to listen to their heading to Hidden Spring Mountain?" ”

Bai Qi looked ahead and said lightly: "There are two things that the Bai family must abide by, one is the Cangsheng Sword in the hands of the head of the family, and the other is the task issued by the Bai Patriarch's Association to the children of the clan. ”

Yan Hua thought about it, the Cangsheng Sword should be the ancient long sword in Bai Mo's hand, representing the authority of the head of the family; However, he still has some doubts about the White Presbyterian Association.

"If you can't refuse the mission of the Council of Elders, wouldn't that be more powerful than the head of the house?"

Bai Qi slowly clenched the hilt of the sword in his sleeve and replied, "Of course, the power of the Elder Council is not as great as that of the family master, but now that the family master is not here, everything is naturally up to them.

For so many years, I thought that they would never intervene between me and Bai Ji again, but I didn't expect these guys to be on Bai Ji's side at the last moment. ”

Yan Hua glanced at Bai Qi and asked casually, "What will happen if you disobey their orders?" ”

"......" Bai Qi didn't answer, but Yan Hua already knew the answer from the cold look on the other party's face.

Yan Hua thought for a moment and asked, "Elder Bai clearly wants to separate you from Bai Lu, what are you going to do next?" ”

To be honest, when Bai Qi said that he would go to Hidden Spring Mountain, Yan Hua was indeed relieved, but when he thought that there was still the shadow of Bai Qi in it, he couldn't help but be a little worried.

The White Killing Society branched it out because he was afraid of the current Bai Qi?

As soon as this idea popped up in Yan Hua's heart, he was rejected by himself again, so there was only one possibility left - letting Bai Qi go to Hidden Spring Mountain was actually a trap carefully designed by Bai Lu!

"I know it's a trap, but the purpose of my return this time is to kill for nothing." Bai Qi said lightly, "So for me, as long as I can face him, it doesn't matter what battlefield it is." ”

"Huh?" Yan Hua's eyes flashed, "So you did that before to stimulate Bai Lu to come to you in person?" ”

Bai Qi looked at the sky that was gradually darkening, suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Let's rest here tonight." ”

Seeing that Bai Qi didn't answer, Yan Hua's heart couldn't help but sink, and asked, "Has it already started?" ”

Bai Qi said: "The main reason why I accepted the mission is that I need time to suppress the mad blood, because I can't face Bai Kill in that state. ”

Yan Hua opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only say helplessly: "Just leave the task of tonight's vigil to me and Roaring Heaven, you can concentrate on suppressing the crazy blood." ”

Bai Qi looked at Yan Hua, nodded slowly, and said, "Thank you!" ”

Nothing was said all night.

The glimmer of the morning gradually sprinkled down from the eastern sky, and the wind that was still a little chilly blew in his face, taking away the last trace of tiredness from Yan Hua.

At the foot of Hidden Spring Mountain, Bai Qi said to Yan Hua, who was stunned beside him: "This is Hidden Spring Mountain, and the ruins found by the Ling family are in this mountain." ”

Yan Hua was looking at the mountain peak in front of him in a daze, and after hearing Bai Qi's voice, he suddenly came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Well, since we have arrived, let's go." ”

Bai Qi found that Yan Hua's expression seemed to be a little wrong, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, but seeing that Yan Hua had already led Yan Hua out of the distance, he had no choice but to raise his heels.

"Boy, what's wrong with you?"

Not only Bai Qi, but even Lu Tian noticed something unusual, so he walked to Yan Hua's side while Bai Qi hadn't caught up, and asked in a low voice.

"Huh?" Yan Hua looked sideways at Lu Tian slightly, revealing a puzzled look.

Looking at Yan Hua's expression, Lu Tian couldn't help but remind, "Haven't you found that you are a little absent-minded now?" ”

"Absent-minded?" Yan Hua turned his head to look at the mountain road in front of him, and said thoughtfully, "Maybe, because I'm thinking about something." ”

"What's the matter?" ”

Yan Hua replied casually: "I feel as if something is calling me inside this mountain, and the scenery here also gives me an inexplicable sense of familiarity, so I wonder what the hell is going on." ”

Puzzled, he asked, "Have you been here before?" ”

Yan Hua shook his head and said in a firm tone: "I can be sure that this is the first time I have come to the Eastern Gathering Place. ”。

He was about to say something, but suddenly saw Bai Qi coming up from behind, so he had to fall into silence again.

The mountain road was not long, or the camp set up by the Ling family was originally close to the foot of the mountain, so even if Yan Hua and the others didn't talk about anything all the way, they were still quiet for less than five minutes.
