Chapter 561: Kindness is not reciprocated
The eldest lady walked into the council chamber with a delicate-looking maid, trying not to squint as much as possible.
walked in front of the big boss, first called "big boss", then sat next to the big boss, and called "second brother" and "third brother" to the second boss and the third boss.
After all the greetings that should have been made, he pretended to be strolling through the heart and looked at Xuan Liyue.
The smile on the corner of his lips was slightly stunned when he saw Xuan Liyue's appearance and age, and a stunning glimmer gradually spread in his pupils.
Such a delicate female doll, no wonder the third child is in love.
"Third brother, this is the distinguished guest you brought back?" The eldest lady asked Xiao Yi, her eyes were ambiguous.
Xiao Yi suddenly felt a headache, smiled apologetically at Xuan Liyue, then looked at the big boss, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, this girl is a person from the Ghost Palace. ”
The meeting hall was full of his own people, including the sister-in-law who was a woman, Xiao Yi thought for a moment and told the origin of Xuan Liyue.
"What!"
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, the big boss Huo Ran got up, and looked at Xuan Liyue's eyes full of shock, but this shock quickly turned into danger.
He clenched his fists tightly, eased his stiff face, and asked Xuan Liyue, "People who don't know the Ghost Palace, why do you come to my Black Wind Village?" ”
The eyes of the second master and the eldest lady also fell on Xuan Liyue, with a hint of nervousness, waiting for her answer.
This little girl doesn't look terrible, but the word "ghost hall" she represents makes them dare not take it lightly.
Xuan Liyue gently placed the teacup in her hand on the table without a sound. She turned her head slowly and methodically to look at the three masters.
"Everyone has withdrawn?" Xuan Liyue asked.
Such a clueless question, the big boss, the second boss and the eldest lady didn't understand, but the third boss understood.
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, they have all withdrawn, and there are no casualties on both sides." ”
Hearing that there were no casualties, Xuan Liyue slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had long seen that those who blocked the way were not a threat to Yunmian, she still had to listen to the result.
"Third brother, what are you talking about?" The big boss asked, he had a guess in his heart, but he needed Xiao Yi to confirm it for him.
Xiao Yi turned his head to look at the big boss and said, "Big brother, I have withdrawn all those people who came down the mountain." ”
"Withdraw, why?" The big boss asked.
"Because I'm with them." Xuan Liyue Dao.
"What?" There was a stunned look on the big boss's face.
"Big brother, the mountain is the convoy of the Tianxing Auction House, and Miss Xuan is from the Imperial Academy." Xiao Yi explained to the big boss.
"Skystar Auction House?" The big boss was a little puzzled, after so many years in Heifeng Village, this was the first time he had encountered the team of Tianxing Auction House.
Xuan Liyue chuckled: "Yes, Tianxing Auction House, don't you think it's strange?" ”
Listening to Xuan Liyue's relaxed and freehand voice, the hearts of the four people present suddenly tightened.
"Miss Xuan, if you have something to say, please speak up." Xiao Yi said to Xuan Liyue, his eyes locked on her face, trying to find the slightest trace from her expression, but she was disappointed.
This girl, at such an age, speaks and does things so well, and they are being led by her nose from beginning to end.
Should he say, is he worthy of being a person from the ghost hall?
"To put it bluntly, it's okay, I'm here to remind you that the secret you have kept for many years is no longer a secret." Xuan Liyue Dao.
After she finished speaking, she got up from her seat, her eyes quickly swept over the four of them, and then she turned around and walked outside with her hands behind her back.
Just as Xuan Liyue walked to the door of the conference hall, Xiao Yi stood up abruptly and said eagerly to Xuan Liyue's back: "Miss Xuan, please stay!" ”
When Xuan Liyue heard this, she stopped, turned around leisurely, looked at Xiao Yi, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are the three masters going to prepare a thank you gift for me?" It doesn't have to be, I'm a man who doesn't want to repay the favor. ”
The eldest lady and the second master couldn't sit still at this time, and got up from their chairs one after another.
Although the big boss hadn't figured out what was going on, he rarely saw Xiao Yi so nervous, and he immediately realized that something big must have happened, and it wasn't a good thing.
He hurriedly gave the eldest lady a look. The husband and wife have long had a tacit understanding, and the eldest lady received the hint from the big boss, walked quickly to Xuan Liyue, took her hand, and smiled kindly.
"It's rare for a girl to come here, how can you sit and leave, although the cottage is simple, but our food here also has some characteristics, and I ask the girl to give face."
Xuan Liyue silently withdrew her hand and looked at the eldest lady, her eyes indifferent and detached.
"Madame's kindness, I appreciate it. My companion was still down the mountain, and when he saw that I had not returned for a long time, he was in a hurry, and took his leave. ”
After Xuan Liyue finished speaking, she continued to walk out, her steps slightly hurried.
She really couldn't afford to waste time here, the fish had already been cast, and it wasn't time to reel in the nets, so she couldn't be too eager.
"Girl!" The eldest lady chased out.
"Sister-in-law." Xiao Yi called out to the eldest lady, walked quickly to the eldest lady's side, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll send Miss Xuan down the mountain, what's the matter, wait for me to come back and discuss it together." ”
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he hurriedly chased after Xuan Liyue.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Xuan Liyue was not surprised, nor did she slow down, following the route in her memory, step by step down the mountain.
Xiao Yi caught up with Xuan Liyue and said, "Miss Xuan, I know a shortcut. ”
Xuan Liyue's footsteps paused slightly, turned his head to him and said, "Lead the way." ”
Xiao Yi nodded, turned a corner at a hidden fork in the road, and took Xuan Liyue down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, everyone was anxious because of the sudden disappearance of Xuan Liyue and Chu Jinyuan. Several groups of people have been sent to the neighborhood to look for them.
Yun Xiaoxiao went out to look around, but didn't find anyone, and when she came back, she walked to Yun Mian's side and asked in a low voice, "Brother, will you be okay with the moon?" ”
Yun Mian shook his head, there was no one around, put away the worry on his face, and said with a smile: "There will be no problem, even if something really happens, it will not be her who has an accident." ”
Xiaoxiao nodded when she heard this, she really cared about it, what kind of virtue her best friend was, didn't she know better than her eldest brother.
It's just that during this time, he was always inexplicably flustered and his emotions fluctuated, so when Xuan Liyue was gone, she couldn't bear it.
Feeling that Xiaoxiao's emotions seemed to be a little wrong, Yun Mian frowned slightly, and asked her, "Xiaoxiao, do you have something to hide from me?" ”
A trace of confusion appeared on Xiaoxiao's face, she raised her hand to cover her heart, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, I don't know what's going on recently, I'm always flustered." ”
"Panic?" Yun Mian asked, his face solemn.
