Bamboo Shadow Palace.

The southwesternmost direction of the northern kingdom.

It's surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The pavilion water pavilion sporadically goes straight out of the water.

A man dressed in black came from the shore, his silver hair scattered, looking like a ghost.

But his face was no more than twenty years old.

In front of the water pavilion, he stepped lightly on the railing on his tiptoes, rolled over and jumped down, and landed steadily in the hallway.

"Palace Master......" A woman quickly greeted her, her tone respectful.

This woman is none other than Concubine Cao.

Qi Lian glanced at her, and said with a gloomy face: "Brought?" ”

Concubine Cao lowered her head: "Yes." Inside, there is an enchantment. ”

Qi Lian waved his hand.

Concubine Cao went down in acquaintance.

Qi Lian walked into the palace and pushed the door open.

As soon as I looked up, I saw a little boy sitting at the table, drinking tea with a cup.

When I turned my head to see him come in, my pretty eyes immediately showed fear.

A pair of small short legs dangling in the air swiped off the chair.

With a pair of small short legs, he ran to the window and stared at him timidly.

Didn't speak.

Seeing this, Qi Lian felt in a good mood.

Pei Shuo has never been afraid of him, so he can't hold back his breath.

But this child is Pei Shuo's, and this child is afraid of him.

Very good.

It can be regarded as finding a sense of balance in the child.

But although Qi Lian was in a good mood, he was used to having a gloomy face.

He sat down in the chair where Xiaogua was sitting just now, raised his hand to pour himself a cup of tea, stared at Xiaogua, took a sip slowly, and asked, "Are you afraid of me?" ”

Xiao Gua's eyes flashed slightly, and then he bit his lip and whispered weakly: "I'm afraid." ”

Qi Lian laughed twice in a good mood again, very good.

Qi Lian raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

With a "snap", he slammed the cup on the table, and looked at the little melon staring at him fearfully by the window, as if he was very satisfied with the performance of the little melon.

Q: "What's your name?" ”

Xiaogua replied truthfully: "Pei Linzhi." ”

Qi Lian nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and beckoned to Xiaogua: "Come here." ”

Xiaogua shook his head timidly and whispered, "You will eat me." ”

For a three-year-old child to say such a thing, it is simply cute.

Qi Lian immediately became interested: "Why do you think this palace will eat you?" ”

"Guess." Xiaogua tilted his head and recalled for a while, "My father always said that you would eat people. ”

Qi Lian raised a thick black eyebrow: "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Xiaogua thought about it, carefully studied Qi Lian's face, and weighed the pros and cons before speaking: "Because my father is afraid of you." ”

Qi Lian was surprised: "Your father is afraid of me?" ”

Seeing this, Xiaogua nodded decisively: "My father said that you are alone in your life, and no one is invincible." He is most afraid of people like you. ”

Qi Lian was silent.

Could it be that Pei Shuo has been misunderstood for thousands of years?

In fact, Pei Shuo was afraid of him, but he pretended to be fearless for the sake of face?

After the silence, Qi Lian felt incredible again.

He deliberately kept a straight face, and his eyes were gloomy: "You didn't lie to me? ”

Xiaogua's eyes were timid, and he shook his head vigorously.

Qi Lian stood up and walked around the room.

The thick black eyebrows furrowed, and there was a sinister atmosphere between the eyebrows.

Even if he doesn't speak, he looks vicious.

After Qi Lian turned around, he looked at Xiaogua with a heavy face: "However, even if your father is really afraid of this palace, he can't let this palace let you go." ”

Xiaogua doesn't speak.

"Do you know why?" Qi Lian asked expressionlessly.

The melon shook his head.

Qi Lian didn't expect a three-year-old child to understand this, he said to himself: "Because you have a special physique. You are the one who has the blood of fire and ice. Your blood is useful. Use you to smelt the sword, and it will make its aura immortal. Drinking your blood can also improve your strength. So, this palace still can't let you go. ”
