Not a very large room, two windows, a few pots of flowers, a small bed, a rattan chair, and a wisp of incense wafting slowly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the moment of entry, Chen Tianci felt in a trance.

The furnishings in this room made him feel indescribable.

It's as if you've gone through the vicissitudes of the world and returned to your homeland.

In the room, an old man with gray hair sat quietly on the bed, staring blankly at the world outside the window.

Outside the window, several patrol boats flew by. In the distance, there is a faint aquifer with a blue glow.

Beyond the aquifer is the pitch-black sea with no end in sight.

Chen Tianci slowly walked in with Ye Luoqiu.

The old man did not look back. He suddenly said slowly, "More than twenty years ago. I've been like that, staring at the window in a daze. ”

Chen Tianci glanced at Ye Luoqiu.

Ye Luoqiu shook his head slightly, signaling Chen Tianci not to make a sound.

Chen Tianci nodded slightly.

The old man continued: "That day was the day when Ziyi's mother died. I looked at the thick layer of water in the sky and swore to her in my heart. I want to protect our daughter and keep her out of pain for the rest of her life. Make her happy and let her grow up healthy. ”

He said, turning back slowly. Tears rolled silently down the corners of his eyes.

"But I did what made her the most uncomfortable. For so many years, she had been searching for the real cause of her mother's death. If she had known that I had done it myself, would she still recognize me? He choked up.

Chen Tianci was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly closed the door with his backhand.

He glanced at Ye Luoqiu, but Ye Luoqiu still shook his head slightly.

Chen Tianci raised his eyebrows, very incomprehensible.

But he believed in Ye Luoqiu, so he didn't say a word.

The old man was still talking about the past. It wasn't until an hour later that he stopped talking, his eyes slowly closing. Then he fell headlong on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Ye Luoqiu hurriedly ran over, carefully straightened the old man, and covered the thin quilt.

Chen Tianci walked over and asked, "What's going on with him?" ”

"His consciousness has been imprisoned for too long and has not yet fully adapted to it. This is the time when his consciousness has regained control of his body. Ye Luoqiu said.

Chen Tianci understood a little at this time.

He shook his head slightly, and suddenly asked, "Is what he just said true?" ”

Ye Luoqiu hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly. "Many years ago, when the Dragon City Lord was still alive, I received a secret mission from her. She asked me to secretly investigate the truth about Shen Ziyi's mother's death. After several years of investigating, I found out the truth. ”

"So, what he said is true?" Chen Tianci was very surprised.

Ye Luoqiu nodded. "Back then, when I found out the truth about this incident, it was hard to believe it. But at that time, I was the leader of the purple-clothed secret guard, and I had to report the tasks assigned by the city lord truthfully, so I told the dragon city lord the truth of the matter. She said.

"What did the Dragon City Lord do?" Chen Tianci asked.

"She didn't do anything." Ye Luoqiu said.

Chen Tianci raised his eyebrows, feeling very incredible. "Nothing?" He was surprised, "Why?" ”

"I don't know." Ye Luoqiu shook his head.

"The Dragon City Lord has been in power for more than two hundred years, and she has a lot of things that are very secretive. There are only a few things that I know that the world does not know. If she were alive, maybe we could have asked her for advice, but alas, she's dead. Her tone was gloomy.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant. Chen Tianci thought about it, and was just about to open his mouth to change the topic, Ye Luoqiu suddenly said: "So, I have always had a question. Why did the people of the Ferris Cult use your identity to assassinate her in the first place? ”

"Huh?" Chen Tianci raised his eyebrows.

"I think maybe it's because you were the person she trusted the most at the time, and only by borrowing your identity can you avoid the heavy investigation and surveillance of the purple-clothed secret guards. You know, at that time, as long as you are there, I feel safe. Ye Luoqiu said.

"What do you mean?" Chen Tianci frowned slightly.

"I think there must be spies from the Ferris Sect in the purple-clothed secret guard." Ye Luoqiu said.

Chen Tianci looked stunned, and then flashed a feeling of unease.

"What about the purple?" He became worried.

Ye Luoqiu shook his head slightly. "You can rest assured that I made careful arrangements when I left." She said, her tone arrogant, "I've been in charge of the purple-clothed dark guard for so many years, even if there are really rats in it, I will definitely not be able to enter the core. They want to infiltrate the core of the purple-clothed dark guard, but that's still far away. ”

Chen Tianci couldn't help but smile. He knew Ye Luoqiu's strength. But I didn't expect her to have such a proud side.

He couldn't help but reach out and rub Ye Luoqiu's head. Ye Luoqiu opened Chen Tianci's hand and gave Chen Tianci a blank look. "What are you doing, nasty!"

The look in her eyes was full of affection. Chen Tianci saw a slight wave in his heart, and hurriedly coughed a few times to divert the topic.

"Ahem, that, I think, it's not early. It's time to go back. He said.

Ye Luoqiu covered his mouth and smiled, nudged Chen Tianci, and walked out first.

Chen Tianci shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and smiled, and then walked out as well.

This time, he learned about Shen Ziyi's father's situation, and according to his current recovery process, it will take at least a few months.

Soon after leaving, Chen Tianci went out with Ye Luoqiu again to do special training. This experience taught him that only a strong enough strength can protect everything he wants to protect.

In order to be able to protect everything he cared about, Chen Tianci decided to make the most of every minute and every second to improve his strength.

But this time, he didn't dare to go too far. The fall of the outer city of Heping City told him a cruel truth, that is, with their current strength, if they want to fight against forces such as the Ferris Sect, it is still too far away.

If the location of the inner city wasn't built secret enough that outsiders were easily not allowed to enter, I'm afraid that even this place would be secretly controlled by the Sky Cult. The strength of the Ferris Cult can be seen from this.

And in addition to the king backing mountain who subverted the outer city of Heping City, the Ferris Sect also has many old opponents of Chen Tianci, who are operating in secret. For example, an insidious opponent like Ishii Chuan has always been Chen Tianci's confidant.

Thinking of this, Chen Tianci became more and more diligent. Under Ye Luoqiu's strict requirements, he continued to sharpen his combat skills. In the cultivation of vitality, he didn't dare to fall for a moment.

Time passes slowly and imperceptibly. Soon, a few months passed quietly.

After finishing a day's cultivation, Chen Tianci was about to return to the camp where he was stationed, when he suddenly received an urgent summons from Ye Luoqiu.

"Purple City has changed. Hurry up to the rendezvous. ”
