Yes, Zhuang Jing, who else could there be but her? Such an inexplicable 'hostility' towards me? It's been like this since I was a kid.

But I never felt that she had a 'reminding' heart for me, and an attitude of 'mourning her misfortune and being angry with it'.

After all, I live a very self-conscious life, and I am also very happy in Shanmen, and I have never felt unlucky.

But to put it now, I inexplicably began to feel that what Lan Xuan said made some sense, and when I thought of Zhuang Jing, my heart was inexplicably softer.

It's just that there is a question that can't be bypassed no matter what, that is, why did Zhuang Jing appear here?

Thinking of this, I raised my head and met Lan Xuan with an inquiring gaze, but Lan Xuan was still indifferent, looking at me and saying; "Zhengling, don't think I know everything. Some things can be interpreted as this, this person appears in a situation that you cannot refuse, and you must accept, you can only accept it this way. ”

Lan Xuan's words were very vague, but I felt a little bit of meaning.

The implication is that Zhuang Jing's existence is something that Lan Xuan can't refuse, even if she doesn't know about Zhuang Jing's qiē, she can't investigate, and she can't refuse.

"Then how do you know she's an acquaintance of mine?" It's not that I don't trust Lan Xuan, and this mood is purely unwilling.

"That's what she said herself, I've known you for years." Lan Xuan didn't look like she was lying to me, but she said this, Lan Xuan asked me, "Would you like to tell me about her?" ”

I was silent for a moment, remembering a qiē when we were children, and that wasn't a glorious thing at all.

So I shook my head and said, "I don't want to say it." ”

"Then I won't ask." I envy Lan Xuan's calm and calm appearance.

Thinking about it, I asked: "Lan Xuan, is it every time she does this to me, you?"

"Do you want to say if I feel uncomfortable? Zhengling, I'm sorry, I really don't. As she spoke, Lan Xuan smiled faintly.

But said with a smile, it doesn't mean that she is not serious I have a faint sense of loss in my heart, if this is the case, I lowered my head and said in a muffled voice: "So, Lan Xuan, you are also disappointed in me in your heart?" ”

"No, I'm not disappointed in you. You are full of hope for all of us, how can you be disappointed? Lan Xuan's tone finally became a little more affectionate.

"But?"

"Heh, Zhengling, is this your childish side? If you have to ask, I can only tell you, I am very happy about the people and things that have helped you grow. Even if Zhuang Jing's methods are a little more aggressive, I think it's good for her to hit you like this. After all, not to mention what can you do in these stormy times? Is it the person who is destined, at least you are going to carry the entire Huo Nie family. And there's not much time left for you to grow. As she spoke, a trace of exhaustion flashed in Lan Xuan's eyes.

"Yes, especially if I really am Nie Yan, and this era is as prophesied to say. Then, the Huo Nie family is the first to bear the brunt of the danger. Speaking of which, I was a little distracted, but I was still worried about Zhuang Jing's affairs, and couldn't help asking: "Lan Xuan, is she still here?" I want to talk to her. ”

After all, Zhuang Jing is from that village, which means that it is very close to my mountain gate.

Even if I don't want to think about it, I can't help but want to know a little bit about Master and Senior Brother, and I can't escape this matter.

"It shouldn't be there. Every time she came here, she would never stay for more than twenty minutes. If you don't believe me, you can look for it. Lan Xuan gave me an apologetic look.

"Don't you have any contact information?" I asked unwillingly.

Lan Xuan's eyes still said sorry, I leaned back in the chair in a gloomy manner, and could only say in a low voice: "Forget it." ”

"Zhengling, cheer up. Don't forget jì, I'm talking to you this time to get down to business. Lan Xuan couldn't help but reproach me when she saw my state.

I wiped my face, but I could only force myself to regain my spirits and start listening carefully.

And sure enough, what Lan Xuan wanted to tell me was the man nicknamed 'Artist', and what she said was very long, covering almost a lot of the details of her investigation, but in summary, it was actually very simple. Although the Huo Nie family is weak unlike other demon hunters who have family heritage, the Huo Nie family's ability to gather intelligence is not weak.

Even above many demon hunters' families.

But this time, without exception, they were deflated like the rest of the family, and they didn't investigate any news about the man who came out of the Sealed Land.

At the beginning of the direction, everyone did think of it together, such as the clue that I don't know how to circulate, the man was hidden in the murder video, so everyone desperately made a fuss about the murder video.

In fact, it was only after nothing was discovered that the news might be fake.

After all, it is impossible to verify who released this news. But because of some necessary evidence and details, all the demon hunter families were tricked once. Lan Xuan smiled self-deprecatingly when she said this.

And I frowned, if this news is fake? What do I see, what do I analyze? Is it just my delusion?

I suddenly didn't have the confidence to interrupt Lan Xuan's words, nor did I have the confidence to put forward this clue So far, I am not so confident in my own ability, so under such thoughts, in Lan Xuan's eyes, I am just listening carefully in silence.

Just when the investigation was at the end of the day, another clue appeared.

That is about the nickname 'artist', and as Lan Xuan spoke, she opened the folder in front of her, took out a black side silhouette from it and said, "This is the most valuable clue so far." Because there are big people, they will never lie, and the big people who buy and sell fairly come out, and the artist's nickname comes from his clues. ”

"What kind of big guy?" Although I had a lot of thoughts in my mind, I couldn't help but ask when I heard this.

The more passive I became, the more curious I was about this circle, especially after reading some of the information Lan Xuan gave me, I had more of a heart to know about many forces and characters in the circle.

Because only when you know more, can you slowly change from passive to active, right? I'm Nie Yan, but what I can't fully think about is living as Nie Yan.

After all, no matter how much Nie Yan and I have an inseparable relationship, in this life, I have always lived as Ye Zhengling for so many years, is it meaningless?

"There's something mysterious about this big guy. People don't know much about him, including my Huo Nie family's intelligence network, and they can't investigate any more information about him. I only know that he is in charge of many underground trading markets, and the resources and intelligence in his hands are also extremely rich. There is no good or evil, only a little, pay attention to fair trading, and do what you say. Everyone calls him - Boss Zhang. Lan Xuan didn't mean to hide it from me at all.

I think I took the initiative to learn about some people and things in the circle, and Lan Xuan was very happy.

Boss Zhang? I was a little familiar at first, and I didn't react, but the next moment, I really reacted!

It's just that in my collection, there is a coin that followed Master to the mysterious market, and the coin that Master gave me that he didn't use was a coin for the market, and there was a mysterious figure in the clouds on it.

That's Boss Zhang!

How could I forget? The shock of entering the market a few times is all because of that Boss Zhang, who has very strict rules, and people are afraid of him, not entirely afraid that there may be other feelings, right?

"What? Zhengling, do you know? Lan Xuan asked me, with some strangeness and expectation between her eyebrows.

"No, I don't know. When you talk about this man, I've heard of it. How can I know such a person? I laughed at myself, but I was a lot more relieved in my heart, if it was really the news released by Boss Zhang, I subconsciously thought that there would never be a fake.

"Don't be presumptuous, if you are the young master of the Huo Nie family. That's enough. Lan Xuan smiled gently, and handed me the silhouette by the way.

I took it in my hand, this is just a very general silhouette of the man's side, if ordinary people see it, they will never see any clues? Lan Xuan took it out, just to give me a look.

"We're going to do our best to investigate based on this silhouette. Zheng Ling, I said that your next thing is to find out this 'artist', don't underestimate a nickname, the things behind it are completely worth analyzing Of course, you must not be able to do it alone, after all, there are so many families, and even some cultivators in the circle have no way. So, what you have to do is to really dominate for the first time" Lan Xuan always explained everything in front of me.

But at this time, my heart was beating faster and faster, and I couldn't even listen to Lan Xuan's words.

"Don't stress too much, though. At least I can assure you that we should get this news sooner than more than two-thirds of the family. Lan Xuan was still talking.

But I looked up sharply, looked at Lan Xuan, and said, "Tina! ”

"Zhengling, listen"

"Lan Xuan." I shouted again, this time directly by Lan Xuan's name.

She paused for a moment, and finally fell silent, after all, I rarely called her by her name, she took a deep breath and asked me, "What do you want to say?" Zhengling? ”

"Tina, do you want to get an exclusive inside message before all the families?" My gaze became agitated.

"What?" This time it was Lan Xuan who was stunned.
