At the exit of the secret passage is the rolling hills on the eastern outskirts of Yandu, where the mountains are undulating, the vegetation is luxuriant, and the occasional bandit and hunter pass by.

Situ Nanyun took Xu Xifeng and Shi Yu'er, a comatose and seriously injured person, out of the secret passage, and was already weak and weak at this time.

"I can't do it, I need to rest for a while." Situ Nanyun said to Shi Yu'er, and then spread her legs and sat on the ground.

Shi Yu'er looked around, but she didn't see Cailian's figure within her field of vision, so she called, "Cailian?" ”

The mountains and forests were silent, and no one responded.

"Where is this girl Cailian?" Shi Yu'er muttered.

Situ Nanyun looked around and said to Shi Yu'er: "You wait for me here for a while, and I'll go out and look for it." ”

She searched around for a while, but found no one in sight, but found a few pieces of clothing on the ground, picked them up, and folded them back.

"This is on Cai Lian's clothes, is something wrong with her?" Shi Yu'er looked at the rag, and her face changed color.

"Judging from this fragment, it doesn't look like a mark left by a wild beast, but more like a human torn off." Situ Nanyun said.

"You're saying that Cailian was taken away?" Shi Yuer said.

"That's right, this rag may be a clue left by Cailian herself, signaling to us that she is in danger, or it may be left behind by her captor, who is warning us. If it is the former, it may be the bandit who occasionally comes in and out here that the Orion happens to rob her, if it is the latter......" Situ Nanyun said this, and stopped, and her eyes fell on Shi Yu'er's face.

"If it's the latter, then someone specifically warned me?" Shi Yu'er continued, looking at Situ Nanyun with a slightly shocked look in her eyes, "If that's the case, then the person who took away the lotus picker is our devilish person." ”

"Just now, I didn't see any traces of a fight on the ground in the place I searched, Cailian's girl still has some strength on her body, if it is an ordinary bandit, it is impossible to take her away without leaving a trace, and if it is a ghostly person, then it will be easy to take Cailian away." Situ Nanyun analyzed.

"In this way, it seems that Cailian really fell into the hands of my father." Shi Yuer said abruptly.

"Since it is in the hands of your father, then at least she has no worries about her life," Situ Nanyun explained.

She looked around, then added, "This is not a place to stay for long, let's get out of here first." ”

In the Xianfeng Inn, Qingfeng received a message from the Fengzong people, the news said that Situ Nanyun had fallen into the hands of Shi Yijian, so he sent Qingsong to find out whether the news was true, Qingsong did not return for a long time, and Situ Nanyun did not return to the news, at this moment, he was worried about walking around the room.

At this time, Situ Nanyun took Xu Xifeng and Shi Yu'er, who were faint and injured, back to the Xianfeng Inn.

Qingying was taken aback when she saw them, and her eyes fell from Situ Nanyun to Xu Xifeng and Shi Yu'er, who were stunned and injured beside her, "How can these two Yun'er be with you?" ”

"I didn't get the floating roots, and I ran into some trouble in Shi Yijian, but the two of them saved me." Situ Nanyun said to Qingying while settling the unconscious Xu Xifeng.

"This is Miss Shi, who was seriously injured when she saved me, and she has been here to recuperate during this time." Situ Nanyun looked at Shi Yu'er, and then said to Qingying.

"Thank you Miss Shi for saving me." Qingying looked at Shi Yuer and said.

"It's okay, everyone is a friend, and they should help each other." Shi Yuer replied sincerely.

Situ Nanyun helped Shi Yu'er to the room, tied her broken leg bones and fixed them on the wooden frame, and after applying the medicine, he went out to give her the medicine for internal injuries.

Xu Xifeng woke up not long after, saw Shi Yu'er, who would be injured, and went to the pharmacy where Situ Nanyun boiled medicine.

"Xifeng, you're awake." Situ Nanyun raised his head from the medicine furnace, looked at him and smiled.

"Well, Yun'er, thank you for saving me again." Xu Xifeng smiled.

"It's not me who saved you, it's Miss Shi, you should thank them." Situ Nanyun said.

"Is that her?" Xu Xifeng was quite surprised and paused, "It seems that I really want to thank her." After speaking, he looked at the medicine furnace that Situ Nanyun was stirring, "This is medicine for the deputy master?" ”

"Otherwise, people don't care about life and death for you to save you, you should thank them well." Situ Nanyun glanced at him.

"Don't talk about her, let's talk about you, how are you in the past few months?" Xu Xifeng's fist-fisted gaze fell on her face.

"In the past few months, I have lived a bloody and bloody life." A wry smile tugged at the corner of Situ Nanyun's mouth, and then, seeing Xu Xifeng's worried gaze, continued: "First I went to the palace several times to inquire about intelligence and rescued the people of the royal family who were under house arrest by Yan Yujun, and confronted Yan Yujun a few times, although I paid a heavy price, I finally succeeded in rescuing people. Later, we were besieged by Yan Yujun's men and horses in the Xiuyun Medicine Hall, and after escaping from the Xiuyun Medicine Hall, we were ambushed by the ghostly old master Shi Yijian Ten Hall Yama, and our Feng Sect suffered heavy losses, and my floating roots and clouds and blue leaves finally fell into the hands of Shi Yijian. ”

Xu Xifeng already knew these general situations from Shi Yu'er's mouth, but he didn't know about the matter of Floating Roots Cloud Biye, and Shi Yijian did not disclose the news to the public, including his daughter Shi Yuer, with a look of shock on his face, "So, you went to Shi Yijian's Lingxiao Courtyard this time to find your Floating Root Cloud Biye?" ”

"That's right," Situ Nanyun nodded, a hint of frustration appearing on her fair face, "It's a pity that I missed the opportunity and searched Shi Yijian's study and bedroom but didn't find it." ”

"Shi Yijian, this person is very cautious, and he is good at setting up hidden weapons, it is not easy to find floating roots." Xu Xifeng groaned, but his eyes flashed, and he continued: "Maybe the deputy master can help, she knows Shi Yijian very well, and it is possible to know where the floating roots and clouds are." ”

At this time, Situ Nanyun's mind suddenly remembered a scene in the secret room, at that time there seemed to be a faint power calling her, her whole body was attracted by that power, her brows frowned with doubt, "When I was in the secret room, my body was suddenly attracted by a force, could it be that the floating roots and clouds and blue leaves were calling me?" ”

"You lost your mind for a while, was it because of its calling?" Xu Xifeng looked at her with puzzled eyes.

"I can feel the joy in my body, and I can't find any other explanation for it other than the empathy that the floating roots and green leaves can form in me." Speaking of this, Situ Nanyun became more sure, and her eyes gradually brightened, "That's right, it should be it." ”

"Since it's very likely that there are floating roots hidden in the secret room, then we will find a way to take it back next time." Xu Xifeng said calmly.

Shi Yu'er was half-awake when she suddenly had an itch on her face, so she opened her eyes and saw Xue Ling's two white wings fanning her face.

"Xue Ling, what are you looking for me?"

Seeing Xue Ling's solemn expression, she said again: "It's difficult, it's a bad thing." ”

Xue Ling raised one of her wings upwards and muttered, Shi Yu'er understood, "There is a letter?" Looks like my dad wrote to me. ”

As she spoke, she took the letter from Xue Ling's body, and as she read it, her face gradually changed color. After reading it, she put away the letter and tied it to Xue Ling's wings again, "Go ahead." ”

Situ Nanyun came in with the medicine, followed by Xu Xifeng, and when she saw Shi Yu'er sitting up, she smiled and said, "Miss Shi, you have to lie down and rest more, and be careful of the injuries on your body." ”

"It's okay, it's all some small injuries, in the devil's evil, I haven't been injured since I was a child." Shi Yu'er looked at Situ Nanyun and smiled indifferently.

She smiled indifferently, but it made Situ Nanyun feel a little distressed, she didn't enjoy much warmth from her parents since she was a child, which was very similar to her predecessor, "I boiled you medicine to treat your internal injuries, drink it while it's hot." ”

"Thank you." Shi Yu'er took the medicine bowl in her hand and drank it in one gulp.

"Although I put a lot of licorice, it's still quite bitter, and you drank it in one go." Situ Nanyun's soft eyes shone on her, and there was some distress and admiration in her words.

Shi Yu'er looked at her eyes, thought of the letter, and was stunned.

Seeing Shi Yuer's poor face, Situ Nanyun didn't plan to stay for a long time, asked her to rest more, and asked Xu Xifeng to stay and take care of her, and left the room by herself.

"Vice Master, thank you for saving me." Xu Xifeng looked at Shi Yuer and said.

"Didn't Xu Zuo save me too? I'm also repaying you for saving your life, so I don't need to thank you. Facing Xu Xifeng alone, Shi Yuer couldn't help but think of the conversation between the two of them that she heard in her father Shi Yijian's room, and her mood became complicated, with a hint of resentment in her words.

"The deputy master is still blaming me for deceiving you, I'm sorry for the previous incident." Xu Xifeng said sincerely.

"Forget it, we are originally opposing camps, we are enemies, no one will be benevolent to their enemies, you are not wrong, what is wrong is our position, besides, my father has caused so much damage to your family, you do have a reason to take revenge on him." Shi Yu'er said with a wry smile, her words were not as bitter as half of the bitterness in her heart, thinking of the position between them in the future, her eyes swelled with an indescribable sadness.

"Vice Master, I have never regarded you as an enemy, and from the beginning I felt that you were different from the others in the demons, and respected you as a friend." Xu Xifeng looked at her and said.

"And, I'm sure we'll all be friends in the future." Xu Xifeng continued.

"Are you a friend?" Hearing this, Shi Yuer should have been happy, but at this moment she felt a sense of loss in her heart, although she knew that Xu Xifeng was at most a friend and would not have further love between men and women, but she was still hurt by these words.

"Yes, the deputy master will be my friend in the future." Xu Xifeng accentuated his tone again to show his sincerity.

"Thank you for still treating me as a friend." Shi Yuer said a little sadly.
