Chapter 24: Turmoil

Today, it happens to be the beginning of the month, and it's time to go to the hina room to pick up supplies.

At this time, it happened to be the second half of the night, and Xi Ning hurriedly sneaked through the forbidden place and quietly sneaked into the small courtyard where he lived.

Shu Li followed the passage back to the stone room, for a few days, neither ate nor drank, she coveted the taste of the moon stone and the obsidian stone, on the sweet spring water, clicked a lot of the stone to eat. Xu was so tired that it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

Early in the morning, Xi Ning, who had taken a short rest, changed into a clean and refreshing robe and appeared at the door of the hina room on time.

Although she is not "treated" by the Great Elder now, after all, she is the head of the fifth room of the clan, and the head of the Hina Room does not dare to slack off, and every time she comes out to greet her.

"Cousin, I said it last time, if you need it, ask those boys to bring a message, and I'll send it for you. Why did you bother to pick up the supplies in person? ”

Xi Ning pinned the broken hair of his sideburns behind his ears and said with a smile: "After all, our ancestors and grandsons have been reprimanded by the elders, how dare they bother our cousin to provide convenience?" The child is still young and doesn't need much, I can do it myself. ”

"The child is more than a year old, and this month, children of her age have used star stones, and I have prepared some for her this time. The consumption of star stones in the hatch room is small, I have more ......" My cousin took out a small bag of star stones from her sleeve, looking at the size of the bag, it was only a few dozen.

Xi Ning's expression was a little unnatural, she really didn't look down on such a little bit of Xingyao Stone now.

This scene fell in the eyes of the cousin of the thief and the thief, but Xi Ning is now in Pingyang, and even the star stone is not enough. Suddenly, a little pity rose in his heart, so he enthusiastically pulled Xi Ning to chat a few more words.

From the conversation with his cousin, Xi Ning learned that the eldest elder was seriously ill a few days ago, and although there is no chaos in the clan now, after all, the dragons have no leader, and the second room secretly started some small actions.

"Cousin, I advise you to be ignorant of this matter and continue to keep your door closed. Even if there is chaos, it will not affect your ancestors and grandchildren, how can the uncle fall so easily? ”

"Cousin, thank you for the reminder." Xi Ning frowned, and a bad premonition faintly rose in his heart.

"You don't have to worry too much, I visited my uncle yesterday, and his condition has improved recently, but he is still a little mentally weak. Sanbo has been treating the uncle, and although Sanbo's medicine has no miraculous effect, it has been controlled after all. It's just that the cause is unknown......"

After returning from the hina room, Xi Ning had been unsettled and was not in the mood to clean the courtyard, so she went out of the yard and carefully inspected the grove on the periphery of the yard, but she found a lot of traces of being spied on.

It seems that Xi Liangyun's second room is not dead set on Shu Li, and he will send people to investigate almost every day. It's just that there are no more array mages in the Xi clan except for Xi Ning, and those who come to investigate can't get close to the courtyard, so they can only hide nearby and wait for the rabbit to secretly explore.

Xi Ning replaced all the formations that were set up in the woods before, and this time he replaced all the star stones that were used as the formation points with moon stones, and the magic circle was strengthened several times.

At this time, it was in the two-room residence of the Xi people.

Xi Liangyun sat in his chair and listened to the servant with the bow at his side reporting on his affairs.

"Is Xi Ning still the same as usual today?"

"Yes, it doesn't make a difference. I didn't communicate with anyone along the way, but when I was in the Hina Room, I said a few words to the head of the Hina Room, and then hurriedly took my things back and continued to close the door. ”

"Then leave her alone, and transfer the person who was sent to guard it back, leaving only one person to guard it far away. Hmph, what can she do if she protects that little girl to death? When we get things done, we have time to clean her up! ”

Xi Liangyun picked up the tea bowl in his hand, drank it all, and spit out the tea leaves in his mouth on the ground, which looked quite vulgar.

After wiping the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, he continued to ask, "Have you done what I told you a few days ago?" ”

The servant lowered his voice and stepped forward: "The man has been contacted." But he suddenly sat on the ground and asked us to triple the price! And don't make a deposit, insist on paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other. ”

Xi Liangyun let out a sneer like a night owl: "He's afraid that I will cross the river and tear down the bridge...... That's it, three times is three times, give it to him! You go ......"

Xi Liangyun lowered his voice and explained in the servant's ear, and the servant withdrew from the door and left in a hurry.

After the servant left, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the originally quiet inner room, and then, Xi Chi pushed the door through the inner room and broke in.

"Father, do you really want to do this? There's no room for maneuvering? ”

Xi Liangyun stared at his son, the originally suave Xi Chi became very decadent due to the blow of Xi Wan'er's death, and the stubble on his chin was very eye-catching.

Xi Liangyun secretly lamented that his son was too cowardly.

"Xi Chi, you can only cultivate with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about other things."

Xi Chi saw that he couldn't dissuade his father, so he could only bow his head and be silent.

He stood in front of his father, looking very thin and thin, with his back slightly bent.

After a long time, his hoarse voice seemed to be making a final effort:

"Father, you are the person I respect the most and the most important person in my heart. This action is too dangerous, if I accidentally go wrong, how can you let me deal with myself? Since I was a child, you have taught me that you should think twice about doing things, and your son is incompetent and can't help you, so I just hope that every step you take will be extra steady. You just remember that you are my guiding light, and if you do anything, I will lose my backbone and will be in chaos. ”

After talking freely, Xi Chi lowered his head and returned to the inner room to continue his cultivation.

It was the first time for Xi Liangyun to see his son care so much about him, and after carefully recalling Xi Chi's words, he seemed to have an understanding, so he called the servants into the house and ordered: "Hurry up and catch up with Xi Hua and tell him that the original goods are gone, give that person ten times the price, and buy the most powerful goods in his hand." ”

The minions came and went, leaving only a string of increasingly muffled footsteps.

Xi Chi, who was sitting in the inner room and was about to close his eyes to cultivate, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth in the sound of footsteps......

That night, Xi Ning returned to the stone room.

The demon crystal of the phoenix-crowned fire python was replaced with a moonstone, and the bright light illuminated the stone chamber.

Shu Li sat straight on the ground in a daze, neither cultivating nor practicing the formation, and her stunned appearance was a little silly.

"Pear, what's wrong?"

Shu Li's eyes flickered, and she really didn't know where to start.

Xi Ning, who was dusty, seemed to be able to see through Shu Li's thoughts, didn't care about patting the dust off his body, hugged the helpless Shu Li and said: "Good boy, what's wrong, say it slowly, don't worry, there is a grandmother in everything." ”
