Chapter 30: Mutations

Entering Xuan Ming's house, Xuan Ming and Jin Se Minglong sat down. Jin Se noticed that Xuan Ming's face was not very good-looking, and was about to ask, but Xuan Ming opened his mouth first:

"What are you two talking about?" Jin Se grinned, and carefully described the scene he had just seen in Minglong's house with Xuan Ming, and looked at Minglong's red and green face while adding oil and vinegar.

I thought that Xuan Ming would smile after hearing it, but who knew that Xuan Ming just pulled the corners of his mouth and didn't speak for a long time. His reaction caused Jin Se and Ming Long to look at each other, usually Xuan Ming is not so humorous, although he will not say any jokes to make others laugh, but when others tell jokes, he will at least cooperate.

Jin Se looked at Xuan Ming, who was holding a porcelain cup in his hand at this time, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something. Jin Se couldn't help but be a little nervous and asked:

"Xuan Ming, what's wrong with you? Is there something on the mind? Xuan Ming raised his eyes to look at Jin Se and pursed his lips tightly. He didn't know how to speak, since he knew that his father Shangguan Hong was indeed a third-party force competing with the eldest prince and the crown prince for the throne, he began to feel that the Phantom Pavilion was no longer safe.

Since Xuan Ming's injuries healed, he often went out to investigate. Since the emperor had fallen seriously ill once more than two months earlier, it seemed that the situation had suddenly calmed down. I never heard of the fight between the eldest prince and the crown prince again. But recently, he heard that the eldest prince had learned about the relationship between the Phantom Pavilion and Shangguan Hong, and was exploring the location of the Phantom Pavilion everywhere.

This made Xuan Ming very uneasy. He had thought about leaving the Phantom Pavilion and returning to the mountains and forests, never setting foot in the rivers and lakes again, but when he thought that Jin Se was still in the Phantom Pavilion, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

Jin Se is like a needle stuck in his chest, which cannot be touched or pulled. If he touches it, his heart hurts, and if he pulls it out, it will be bleeding, and I am afraid that he will not be able to survive. Now that I heard what Jin Se said about Minglong and Qingyan, my heart was even tighter. Some things are not as simple as they seem, saying what they say, doing what they do, if they really walk away, the future may not be bright. With the name of the killer of the Phantom Pavilion, many people who have accumulated grudges before will definitely come to seek revenge. At that time, I am afraid that there will not even be a place to live.

"Minglong, what do you think? If you have affection for Qingyan, you don't have to care about that much. Xuan Ming said lightly. It surprised Jin Se and Minglong who were present. Ming Long became more serious than ever at this time, he supported his knees with both hands, and frowned slightly:

"I do like green smoke. Qingyan is different from Jinse, she is a girl and needs to be taken care of by others. As soon as these words came out, they angered Jin Se, who stood up "Huo" and called:

"Minglong, what do you mean?" Xuan Ming suddenly grabbed Jin Se's hand, dragged her back to her seat, shook her head and signaled her not to be angry, turned to Ming Long and said:

"You go on." Minglong looked at Xuan Ming and Jin Se, and smiled embarrassedly:

"Actually, I told the Holy Hand before, I want to wait a few years and leave with Qingyan. The sky is high and the sea is wide, so naturally there is a place for me. When Xuan Ming heard this, his heart tightened again, and he asked:

"It's not hard for you to take her away. But can you give her a stable life? You and I are both killers, and there are many grudges in the rivers and lakes, and I have nothing to say about it. But are you going to let your women suffer with you? ”

In a word, asked Minglong, Minglong opened his mouth, and finally did not say the words out of his mouth. Minglong sighed deeply, lowered his head and shook it, no longer speaking.

Jin Se looked at the two men present, their expressions were almost the same. Frowning, silent. Jin Se suddenly felt very angry. I just wanted to stand up, but I found that my hand was still held by Xuan Ming, and I couldn't help but feel a little throbbing in my heart. But she still couldn't stand Xuan Ming and Minglong's statement, so she said:

"You men have no say in these words. Minglong, have you ever asked Qingyan if he is willing to go with you? Minglong looked at Jin Se and shook his head. Jin Se raised a sneer, "You didn't ask her what she meant, so you made a decision for her." Yes, I know you're doing it for her good, but can you also consider her feelings? Minglong was stunned by what Jin Se said, and nodded in a trance. Xuan Ming suddenly sighed deeply:

"If you have this in mind, I advise you to leave the Phantom Pavilion as soon as possible. I have already investigated, Shangguan Hong is the instigator behind the Phantom Pavilion. The old emperor was seriously ill some time ago, and he had already sent the eldest prince to check Shangguan Hong. If you really find out here, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave by then. When Jin Se heard this, the strength in his hand was not tight, and he grabbed Xuan Ming's hand back:

"In this way, the Phantom Pavilion is already more than lucky?" Minglong suddenly snorted coldly:

"Don't be funny, how many times has the court said that it wants to destroy the Phantom Pavilion over the years, it's not that you don't even know where the door of the Phantom Pavilion is open." Xuan Ming looked at Ming Long, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and there was a murderous aura in his eyes:

"That's backed by Shangguan Hong. He didn't want to make it impossible to find out. Now it's the eldest prince who is investigating. If we really find out, we will only have a dead end, so it is better to go our separate ways earlier. Minglong was stared at by Xuan Ming's weak heart, but he still didn't give up:

"Really? The Phantom Pavilion is cultivated in the cliff, surrounded by deserts, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the martial arts of the people in the pavilion are not low, how can it be said that death is death! Xuan Ming looked at Minglong and shook his head, and smiled:

"It's right that it's easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it's not wrong that martial arts are not low. But haven't you ever thought that the reason why killers are terrible is because we are always in the dark and have never seen the light, so others are afraid of us. But if it is really exposed, no matter how high our martial arts are, if the army surrounds us from all sides and fires arrows one after another, I am afraid that we will all return to heaven in the house. Minglong, don't be too optimistic. As soon as he finished speaking, Minglong immediately stopped talking, and his face became ugly. There was a long silence.

Xuan Ming suddenly lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, looked at Ming Long, and suddenly stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder:

"Minglong, we've been brothers for so long. Listen to me, and hurry away with the green smoke. As soon as the words fell, Minglong seemed to be greatly encouraged, nodded, got up and went out.

At this time, there were only two people left in the room, Xuan Ming and Jin Se, and Jin Se's hand was still tightly held by Xuan Ming.

Jin Se looked at Xuan Ming, she had never seen him like this. Under the cold appearance, there is also a side of affection. But Jin Se always felt that such a mysterious shadow seemed to be hiding something. She hoped that Xuan Ming could say something at this time, but Xuan Ming didn't. He just lowered his head, and in silence, slowly let go of the hand holding Jinse.

Jin Se suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and he stood up and wanted to go out.

"Wait." Jin Se was stopped by Xuan Ming's sudden call, and Jin Se tilted his head slightly. Xuan Ming looked at her, her side face was covered by the hair on her forehead, but Xuan Ming could still imagine her expression at this time. It must be a cold face, and maybe there is a little hidden disappointment in the eyes.

"Will you come with me?" Xuan Ming said this sentence slowly. Jin Se's body trembled, and he turned his head:

"What did you say?" Xuan Ming suddenly didn't know what to say, his face was embarrassed that he couldn't hide, and after a while, he paused and said again:

"Will you come with me?"
