Xiao Man burst into tears and laughed, and replied, "Yes, I shouldn't cry like this, otherwise the Pavilion Master will be worried." After speaking, he took the handkerchief in Ling Xiaoxiao's hand and wiped it again, leaving only the red eyes that could not be concealed, but this was enough to reassure Ling Xiaoxiao.

"I'm afraid that the pavilion master will worry about me, so let's go find him together." Xiao Man regained his spirits, took Ling Xiaoxiao's hand and walked towards the study.

The events of last night flashed in her mind, Gu Yu's slightly angry face flickered in front of her eyes, Ling Xiaoxiao refused to move forward with some resistance, Xiaoman turned his head to look at her suspiciously, Chu Chu's pitiful gaze made her unable to say anything to refuse.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?"

"It's fine." Ling Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, although he really didn't want to go in his heart, but he couldn't help it.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the corner of the corridor, he ran into Gu Yu who was seeing off the guests, and there was a sturdy old man standing beside him.

Xiao Man looked at the old man with hostility in his eyes, and said with a straight face: "I hope you don't come again next time, I won't follow you back." ”

The old man looked at Gu Yu in embarrassment, and Gu Yu smiled at him, "Old General Sun, Gu Yu will not break his promise to you." ”

The old man nodded in satisfaction, "That's good." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man felt uneasy in his heart, and always felt a bad premonition, observing the two vigilantly, Ling Xiaoxiao patted her hand to show comfort.

Seeing Gu Yu's assurance to himself, the old man also relieved himself and was about to leave, but when he caught a glimpse of the woman beside Xiao Man, he suddenly stopped, his eyes lit up, and he looked over.

Feeling a gaze fall on her body, Ling Xiaoxiao raised her eyes to look, but the old man's inquiring gaze was dark and deep, making her a little scared for no reason.

"I don't know what this girl's name is?" The old man asked suddenly.

Ling Xiaoxiao looked around, and saw that the old man was staring at herself, only to realize that she was asking herself, and was about to open her mouth to reply, when she saw Gu Yu standing in front of her.

"She's just a little maid in the pavilion." Gu Yu's clear voice came from the front.

The old man smiled and replied with amusement, "Really? ”

Gu Yu's face sank, and said, "A little girl, it's not worth your concern, right?" There was already displeasure in his tone.

As if he didn't expect Gu Yu to have such an expression, the old man suddenly laughed heartily out loud, "No, I'm getting older, I just thought I saw an acquaintance from before, but now I think about it, it's impossible, that girl has been dead for seventeen years, how can she appear in front of me again." ”

After a pause, the old man said calmly: "Okay, I'm tired today, so don't send it, I know the way home." ”

Gu Yu bowed, "Please take care." ”

Ling Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled about what happened just now, she didn't understand what the old man said, she turned her head to look at Gu Yu, the cold expression on her face made her break the idea of asking, anyway, she didn't know the other party.

On the other hand, Xiao Man on the side, from the moment he heard the conversation between the two, his mood was unstable again, "Pavilion Master, what did you mean by that just now?" ”

Gu Yu came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Man and then looked at Ling Xiaoxiao, who looked curious, and then said to Xiao Man, "You come into the house with me." ”

Xiao Man automatically followed behind Gu Yu, while Ling Xiaoxiao stood in place, suddenly not knowing what to do, the pavilion master was talking about Xiao Man alone, not including her, what she originally wanted to do.

"Ink Shadow—" Ling Xiaoxiao cried out, she remembered what she was going to do.

A big laugh appeared in front of him, and he looked at her with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, you call me." ”

Ling Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she unconsciously took two steps back, "Moying, can you make a noise next time you appear!" ”

After being reprimanded, Mo Ying said with a look of grievance: "I've been here for a long time, it's just that you've been panicking, and I only spoke up when I heard you call my name." ”

"Really?"

"Yes, but what did you suddenly tell me to do?" Ink Shadow asked.

After being reminded by him, Ling Xiaoxiao remembered what she was going to do, "I want you to help me investigate someone." Ling Xiaoxiao narrated today's events one by one, as long as you find Ah Qiang, you can find the murderer who killed Wen Jie.

"Cuong? Are you sure this person did it? Ink Shadow asked, uncertain.

"I can't be sure, but I can't let go of any detail, I don't want Wen Jie to sacrifice in vain." As long as she seizes an opportunity, she has to find out who the murderer is.

Mo Ying was silent, seeing Ling Xiaoxiao's determined expression, she sighed helplessly, hoping that she wouldn't blame him when she knew the truth, "Okay, I'll help you." ”

Ling Xiaoxiao immediately smiled, "Thank you, Moying." ”

"I'll let you know as soon as there's news of Cuong."

Inside the study.

Xiao Man followed behind Gu Yu without complaint, his expression was very aggrieved.

"Sit down." Gu Yu said.

Xiao Man said angrily: "No, I'm afraid you'll send me away after you sit down." ”

Gu Yu chuckled lightly and flicked Xiao Man's forehead, and Xiao Man immediately exhaled in pain, "Pain-"

"It's right, when did your brother Gu Yu lie to you and say that he was going to send you away."

In front of outsiders, Xiao Man called Gu Yu to be the pavilion master, and in private, it was Gu Yu's brother's name, the two of them grew up together on Jingshan since they were children, and the relationship between the two was already like brother and sister.

Hearing Gu Yu say this, the expression on his face suddenly changed, "Brother Gu Yu, are you telling the truth?" ”

Gu Yu nodded, and Xiao Man cheered happily.

"But Brother Gu Yu has something to ask for." Gu Yu said suddenly.

Xiao Man was in place, looking surprised, she didn't expect Brother Gu Yu to beg her, since she was a child, there has never been anything before, Xiao Man had to take it to heart, and asked seriously: "Brother Gu Yu, you said, as long as Xiao Man can do it, it will definitely be done for you." ”

Gu Yu seemed to be a little embarrassed, and after swallowing for a while, he said, "I want you to help me save someone, and I want to save me without knowing it." ”

"That's not easy." I thought it was something, but I didn't expect it to be so simple, "Brother Gu Yu, it was originally my duty to learn medicine to save people, and I don't need you to say this at all-"

"The man is in the palace—"

Gu Yu's words choked Xiao Man, what does it mean in the palace, and he still has to be unaware, Xiao Man suddenly understood the purpose of Sun Yanbo's coming here today, it turned out that he didn't really want her to go back, but to help him save people with her hand, Xiao Man felt a chill in his heart for a moment, but he felt surprised, didn't he not care for a long time? Why do you feel this way?

Gu Yu on the side observed Xiao Man's expression, knowing that it made her sad, but she had to force her to face it, Gu Yu sighed, "Forget it, if you are embarrassed, Brother Gu Yu will not force you." ”
