After returning to the mountain from Bishui Manor, Xiao Jiu still felt that something was wrong.

In the past, my father had never mentioned Jiangzhen and Jiafu, why did the old lady Jia kill himself as soon as he saw the pendant on his neck? If it is really as his father said, this jade pendant is the ancestral heirloom of the Meng family, then after so many years, why hasn't he even heard a word about Jiafu mentioned by his father?

After thinking about it, Xiao Jiu always felt that something was wrong.

"Childe, you're back." Seeing Xiao Jiu's figure approaching from a distance, Xiuli hurriedly took a few steps forward and greeted him.

"Sister Xiuli."

Seeing Xiuli like this, Xiao Jiu pulled his lips and smiled and stepped forward.

"It's been ten days since Childe left, and the injury on his back is better?"

No wonder Xiuli is worried, before Xiao Jiu went down the mountain, the wound on his back had just healed and scabbed, and going down the mountain and wading to the river like this was not good for the wound after all.

"It's much better, I don't feel any pain in the last few days." Looking at Xiuli's tearful appearance, Xiao Jiu gave him a comforting smile back.

When passing by Xiuli, I didn't forget to scrape the tip of his nose.

"Alright! Sister Xiuli, don't always have a sad face all day long, I'm not good! Smile a little! ”

Embarrassed by Xiao Jiu's frivolous behavior, Xiu Li immediately lowered his head, but the corners of his mouth still rose slightly.

"Childe has worked hard all the way, Xiuli specially made your favorite sweet potato cake, come into the house and try it!"

Originally, she thought that she would send it to Master Jinchen, but Childe came back first, so it would be better to give Childe food.

"Don't eat it yet, I still have to go to the Heavenly Palace to meet Master!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jiu turned around and walked in the direction of the Heavenly Palace.

The reason why he came back to the meditation room was to tell Xiuli that he had returned, so that she didn't have to worry about herself.

After all, when he was in Bishui Manor, his father had instructed himself to treat Xiuli well.

"Gong ...... Childe ......"

Looking at Xiao Jiu's distant back, Xiuli couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, in the eyes of Childe, she is just a slave, and Childe is afraid that he has never taken himself to heart! Even when I went down the mountain to return to Bishui Manor, I didn't take myself with me.

After the son fled down the mountain privately, she was punished by Master Qingyuan, even if she was scarred, she always gritted her teeth, and never revealed a word.

Although the scars on her body are healed now, the pain in her heart has not healed.

Inside the Heavenly Palace:

At this moment, only Qing Yuan and Yuan Chi master and apprentice were in the main hall.

"Master, the apprentice returned from the mountain with Xiao Jiu, and he came to restore his life." Yuan Chi said in a low tone and saluted Qing Yuan.

"What about Xiao Jiu? Why don't you see the little nine? After looking at Xiao Jiu's figure for a long time, Qing Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Senior Brother Xiao Jiu, he ...... After going up the mountain, I went back to the meditation room. ”

"Humph!" This stinky boy is really getting more and more ideas, and when he comes back, he doesn't say that he will come to the Heavenly Palace to tell him, and he doesn't take him as a master seriously!

Seeing that the master was a little unhappy on his face, Yuan Chi didn't dare to stay longer.

"The master is resting, and the apprentice will retire first."

"Wait!" Seeing that Yuan Chi turned around and wanted to leave, Qing Yuan immediately wrinkled his eyebrows and said. "This kid went down the mountain, is it really just to go back to Bishui Manor to visit the owner of Meng Lao? Are there any signs of escape on the way? ”

"Back to Shizun's words, according to Yuanchi, this is true. Along the way, Xiao Jiu has always behaved, but he has not had the momentum to escape. ”

God knows how miserable he is as a senior brother along the way, and every time he sleeps on the ground.

Who calls himself without money? Xiao Jiu, the rabbit cub, is really too picky, there is only one bed in the guest room he chooses every time, and even the night he arrived at his house, he slept on the ground.

"Well, okay, it's none of your business, step down!"

Waving his hand, Qing Yuan said thoughtfully.

After Yuan Chi left, in less than a stick of incense, Chixia entered the hall and said that Xiao Jiu was asking to see him outside the hall.

"This stinky boy! I still know how to come! Let him wait outside the temple first, and say that he is taking a nap. Let him in again in a quarter of an hour! ”

"Yes, Chixia understands."

Chixia stepped out of the hall and stood on the steps and said condescendingly:

"Shizun is taking a nap, so it's inconvenient to see you."

"In this cold winter, what is the master sleeping in the afternoon?"

Chixia didn't answer, but turned around and entered the side hall, and went to work on her own.

Xiao Jiu shrank from the cold, and after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, didn't this master just make it clear that he didn't want to see him!

After guessing Qing Yuan's thoughts, Xiao Jiu hurriedly used the telepathy technique to investigate, and sure enough, he saw that Qing Yuan was sitting in the main hall at the moment, picking up the small teacup lightly, and tasting tea with an intoxicated face!

Xiao Jiu suddenly became angry.

"Wow, blahh—" Three or two steps up the stairs, quickly rushed into the hall.

Qing Yuan heard the sound of footsteps, raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Jiu's serious little face.

"Why did Master ask Sister Chixia to lie to Xiao Jiu, saying that you were taking a nap?"

Xiao Jiu was angry in his heart, and there was a bit of anger in his words.

Seeing his attitude, Qing Yuan put down the teacup and pretended to be angry:

"You kid, you really have a lot of ability, you dare to talk to a teacher like this!"

After being reprimanded by Qing Yuan's words, Xiao Jiu suddenly wilted, and his original arrogance was also suppressed at all.

After all, the master had beaten his ass many times, and he still didn't dare to look back on that past.

"Division...... Master ...... "Frightened by Qing Yuan, Xiao Jiu's knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground, "It was Sister Chixia who said, you are taking a nap, you ...... When did you get up? ”

"Humph! You kid, just returned to the mountain, didn't come here to restore your life for the teacher, and still have the face to question the teacher? You're really good! ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Jiu immediately reacted.

It turns out that the master is angry with himself because he didn't come to visit first!

"I know I'm wrong, next time...... I must come to Master first......"

Next time? Hum! Next time he doesn't want this stinky boy to go down the mountain again!

"There's no next time! You just wait for the old dead in the mountains! ”

Seeing that Qing Yuan was still angry, Xiao Jiu hurriedly kowtowed and made a fuss.

"Master forgives the sin, Xiao Jiu doesn't dare to make Master angry anymore......" He originally wanted to ask Master about the pendant around his neck! Now, I'm afraid that even if I ask, Master may not be willing to answer!

"Alright, alright! Hurry up! Don't knock the ground out of the hall for the master! ”

"Thank you, Master."

It's obvious that he feels sorry for himself, but if he wants to say that it's for the land, the master is really duplicitous.

Seeing that Master's face finally turned cloudy and clear, Xiao Jiu's heart became active again.

Walking forward, Xiao Jiu took off the pendant around his neck again, held it in front of Qing Yuan and said:

"Master, do you know where this pendant came from?"

Suddenly asked, Qing Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then took the blood-colored jade pendant into his hand and took a closer look.

"Isn't this jade pendant that you wear around your neck all the time? Isn't it the treasure of your Blue Water Manor? ”

"Don't hide it from Master, although this thing has been worn on Xiao Jiu since he was a child, Xiao Jiu suspects that it is not my Bishui Manor."

Although Daddy told himself that this jade pendant was an heirloom of their Meng family, but all the way back, he was always pondering about this matter, and from Daddy's eyes, he could analyze that this jade pendant was not as simple as Daddy said.

Hate only hates that he didn't pay attention at the beginning, if he uses mind reading to find out what his father is thinking, he may be able to find out the answer.

It's just that he believed in his father too much at that time!

Qing Yuan put the blood-red jade pendant in the sunlight and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything famous.

"There is a 'Xuan' word written on this pendant, and the words on the back are too small for the teacher to see clearly, but it is certain that this jade is absolutely extraordinary, and such a texture and transparency are somewhat like the products of the Qingyue area."

"Qingyue?" This was a place he had never heard of.

"Well, the Qingyue area is rich in jade, and many poor people will go there to dig up some jade in order to make a fortune, and finally sell it to some rich people in exchange for silver twice."

Qing Yuan explained leisurely while returning the jade pendant to Xiao Jiu.

"How did Master know so much detail?"

"When I was young, I went south with my master seven times, and when I passed by Qingyue, I also dug up the green jade and came back!"

Qing Yuan narrated with a smug face on one side, and on the other hand, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and shook it in front of Xiao Jiu.

"Wow! What a big piece of jade! Master is amazing! Xiao Jiu couldn't help but reach out and touch it, the jade quality was really delicate and silky, extraordinary.

However, if this jade is produced in Qingyue, then the people who dig jade are all over the world! It's almost all over the entire Eastern Continent, how does he know which rich man will buy this jade after it is dug up?

The answer given by the master is still too general to determine its origin.

"Hey, hey! You stinky boy, hurry up and follow your Uncle Jinchen to learn some real skills! Don't always think about those useless ones! Looking at Xiao Jiu's adoring eyes, Qing Yuan said in a thick voice.

"Yes, what Master taught." Although Xiao Jiu was full of promises on the surface, he was actually a little unwilling.

After leaving the Heavenly Palace, Xiao Jiu kept going in the direction of the Splendid Pavilion for a moment.

As soon as he arrived outside the hall of the Splendid Pavilion, he bumped into Feng Xi and walked out of it with a heavy heart.

Xiao Jiu saw that she was so distracted, and just wanted to step forward to say hello, but the other party didn't seem to see him, and crashed into his chest head-on.

"Feng ...... Senior Sister Fengxi, what are you doing? ”

His nose was hit by a thin chest, Feng Xi was instantly displeased, and was about to get angry, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Jiu's green little face.

Looking at each other, Feng Xi's cheeks suddenly became hot.

"You...... Little Nine ...... You're back? ”

"Yes! Senior Sister Fengxi, can Senior Uncle Jinchen be in the palace? ”

Feng Xi didn't answer, just covered his face, turned around and ran.

"Huh...... Senior Sister Fengxi?? "What's going on? Could it be that he accidentally hurt her?

Well! Maybe it's possible!

That's it, after I see Uncle Jinchen later, I can go to the backyard to see her.

Thinking like this, Xiao Jiu sighed, and then strode into the main hall of the Splendid Pavilion with brisk steps.

It's just that the main hall is empty at the moment, and only the sound of Xiao Jiu's walking and breathing can be heard quietly.

"Uncle Jinchen? Uncle? Tentatively screamed twice, Xiao Jiusi looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he turned around and wanted to leave.

At this moment, I suddenly heard that there seemed to be a movement in the side hall.
