At this time, Sima Hongyan understood why Yan Hong took the initiative to ask the emperor to come to the mountain to change posts to see his master this time, but he didn't expect it to be for his own business.

Yuecang has a high reputation and is well-informed, and there may be something that others don't know.

Thinking of this, Sima Hongyan looked at Yan Hong with gratitude. Yan Hong saw that Sima Hongyan guessed his intentions, and just smiled at her.

Yue Canghai said to Yan Hong at this time: "The old man doesn't know much about Nanyi witchcraft. I also told you what I knew just now, and you can convey it to Miss Sima when you go back. Other news, the old man will find out, and if there is any new news, the old man will inform you. ”

Sima Hongyan was very grateful, and thanked him: "For the sake of the younger generation, I have to bother the seniors of Yue, I really can't help it." ”

Yue Canghai waved his hand and said, "It's a good effort!" What's more, this kind of harmful thing appeared in my Yanling, and the old man couldn't stand idly by. ”

Ban Lingruo also thanked: "Senior Yue, my sister has been worried about this matter for a long time, if you have your help, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Yue's chivalrous heart, I also thank you for my sister. ”

Yue Canghai said to Ban Lingruo: "I know that you are sworn sisters, and you have deep affection. Since you respect the old man so much, the old man has to help him even more. ”

As he spoke, he said to Yan Hong: "This girl is a martial arts talent, if her teacher allows, you can teach her some of my swordsmanship." In time, there will be one more heroine on the rivers and lakes. After saying that, he laughed and was extremely happy.

Yan Hong hurriedly nodded yes!

Ban Lingruo and Sima Hongyan had both seen Yan Hong's brilliant swordsmanship, and when they heard that Yue Canghaiken taught Ban Lingruo this skill, they were also so happy that they thanked him again!

At this time, Yue Canghai seemed to think of something, and said, "Tomorrow, the martial arts alliance leader will rush to Tianling Mountain." As far as I know, he has been in contact with Southern sorcery. When he arrives tomorrow, I'll talk to him and see if I can answer some questions for you. ”

Sima Hongyan and Ban Lingruo said strangely at the same time: "Martial Arts Alliance Master? Even Yan Hong asked, "Is the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance really coming?" ”

Yue Canghai said: "This time the old man and he made an appointment to meet here, depending on the time, he will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest." ”

Yan Hong said curiously: "I don't know what kind of person this legendary martial arts alliance leader is?" ”

Yue Canghai pondered, pondered for a moment, and then said, "What kind of person is it?" I can't say it, you'll know when you see you tomorrow! ”

That is, with Yue Canghai's help, there will be something to gain in the future. Sima Hongyan and Ban Ling didn't delay any longer and said goodbye and returned to the guest room.

On the way, Sima Hongyan was silent in thought, thanks to Yan Hong's help today, I really don't know how to thank him.

Ban Ling saw that Sima Hongyan was silent, so he asked, "Sister, what are you thinking?" ”

Sima Hongyan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I was thinking, Yan Hong has helped us so much, and he is a good friend." But I didn't know how to repay him. ”

Ban Lingruo said with a smile on her face: "Sister, you are such a smart person, are you pretending to be confused with me?" ”

Sima Hongyan was stunned for a moment and said, "What? ”

Ban Lingruo laughed out loud and said, "It's obvious that His Royal Highness the Ninth likes you, do you want me to say this?" ”

Sima Hongyan was stunned and said hurriedly: "Little sister, don't talk nonsense, it is embarrassing to be heard by Yan Hong!" ”

Ban Lingruo said blankly: "Sister, can't you really see it?" Every time His Highness Nine looks at you, the way he looks at you is different. I can feel that he really likes you! ”

Sima Hongyan smiled and said, "Your little girl has never been in love, how do you know that he really likes me?" ”

"Feel!" Ban Lingruo said very seriously: "His Royal Highness the Ninth is famous for his cold arrogance in Yanling, and he hardly talks nonsense except for official business on weekdays. Even the other princes are ignored by him, but only to you, not only talk too much, but also indulge you in every way. As long as he hears that you have something, he will be the first to rush forward, if he says that he doesn't like you, I won't believe it! ”

Sima Hongyan was silent again. In fact, she already knew it in her heart, but she deliberately avoided it and didn't want to know the answer.

Seeing that Sima Hongyan didn't speak, Ban Lingruo knew that he was right. Then he asked, "Sister, what do you think?" I think you two are a good match, don't say you don't like His Royal Highness Nine. ”

Sima Hongyan pondered for a moment, sighed and said, "Little sister." To tell you the truth, I didn't think about it. Now that my Sima family is in the middle of the road, you don't know my reputation in the entire Yanling, how dare I dare to climb high? Besides, I am the one who was assigned to marry the eldest prince and was divorced by the emperor, even if His Royal Highness the Ninth is interested, I can't agree to him. Otherwise, wouldn't you let him hold his head up above the court? ”

Ban Lingruo looked surprised and said, "Sister, what are you talking about?" Don't I know who you are? Doesn't His Highness the Nine know? How can you be blamed for the past? ”

Sima Hongyan was relieved: "Little sister, not everyone can understand me like you. Living in the world, sometimes there are some things that we can't control, I can't, and Yan Hong can't either. So, there are some things that can't be done. What a terrible thing to say! ”

Ban Ling didn't care and said: "This is not like what you said, don't you usually care about other people's opinions?" How has it changed today? ”

Sima Hongyan smiled bitterly: "If it were me, of course I wouldn't care, but once someone else is involved, I have to care." ”

Ban Lingruo said: "Then you mean, you also like His Royal Highness the Nine, but you can't be with him, can you?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Of course not! I don't feel that way about Yan Hong, I just feel like we're good friends, very good friends, that's all! ”

Ban Lingruo saw that Sima Hongyan didn't look like a perfunctory one, and sighed: "Alas! Your Highness will be sad if you hear this! ”

Sima Hongyan said: "I will make it clear to him, and I will explain it to him after I return to the capital." If it's like you're saying, am I not doing him harm? ”

Ban Lingruo said: "Then you must think about it, if it is just to take care of the face of His Royal Highness the Nine, I don't think you need to do this." I think His Royal Highness Nine doesn't care what you say, since he chooses to like you, he must be ready to face difficulties with you. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "I naturally think so when I say this. Otherwise, with my temper, how could I have wronged myself? I'm afraid of everything, but I'm not afraid of trouble. Besides, am I having less trouble? ”

Ban Lingruo said: "Yes! There's really a lot of trouble, and there's a * annoyance waiting for you tonight! ”

Sima Hongyan was stunned.

Ban Lingruo grimaced and said, "That Gu Junxi!" ”

Sima Hongyan let out an "oops" and exclaimed: "Oh no, forget about this!" ”

Ban Lingruo smiled: "What can you do?" Don't offend the Xiao Ling Sword Sect because of this little thing, otherwise it won't look good under the Nine Palaces. ”

Sima Hongyan slapped his forehead and said to himself, "What should I do?" What to do? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally said: "I have the simplest and most direct way!" ”

Ban Ling Ruoqi said: "What? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Go and apologize directly!" ”

While talking, the two returned to their guest rooms. Shi Jinyan and Zhong Liying were sitting in the room and gossiping, and when they saw Sima Hongyan and the others coming back, Shi Jinyan's first sentence was: "Are you back?" Didn't cause trouble, did you? ”

originally promised to be good and not cause trouble when he went out, but he still caused Gu Junxi this trouble. Sima Hongyan and Ban Ling were weak-hearted, and no one spoke.

Seeing that Sima Hongyan was silent for the first time, Shi Jinyan was shocked: "What are you doing?" Zhong Liying was also curious, and looked at Sima Hongyan and Ban Lingruo directly.

Sima Hongyan was embarrassed to say, and Chong Ban Ling Ruonunu mouthed. Ban Lingruo had no choice but to tell Shi Jinyan about meeting Gu Junxi and tricking him into meeting in the back mountain.

Zhong Liying has lived in Tianling Mountain for a long time, and she knows Gu Junxi's name too well. Although Shi Jinyan didn't know about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, as soon as she heard that this person was a big disciple of Xiao Ling Sword Sect, she expected that there would definitely be a lot of trouble.

The two looked at each other in amazement, and they didn't know what to say about Sima Hongyan.

Sima Hongyan looked at them with a solemn face, and said, "Okay, don't worry about it." I went to see him in a moment and apologized to him in person. I promise that I won't cause any trouble for the ninth prince. ”
