"Not bad." He Lixian nodded and said, "The little girl told me about this last night. ”

"Then you should know that I took Arnold back to his original form last night and took him away." Ziyu said and nodded at the white cat on the ground, and then Arnold returned to his human form.

Even though He Lixian had been mentally prepared, he suddenly saw the white cat in front of him become a familiar person with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but tremble, and his face turned a little pale with fright.

Zi Yu ignored He Lixian's expression, beckoned Arnold to get up, and continued: "Actually, at the beginning, I wanted to come to He Mansion because I planned to discuss with Master He about taking Arnold away. After all, although Arnold is a demon, he is also half of Hefu's people in the end, and I want to take him away as a pet, and I should talk to Master He in person no matter what. ”

"That's one of the reasons why I decided to come to Hofu." Ziyu paused, glanced at Arnold, and continued: "I heard Miss He say before that Master He treats Arnold as the successor head of the He family, so when I took Arnold away this time, I always felt that I should ask Master He's opinion. ”

"The old man has no opinion, but this matter is up to you." He Lixian wiped the cold sweat on his forehead without a trace, and pretended to be calm.

Ziyu smiled when she heard this: "Then thank you Master He." ”

After Ziyu finished speaking, she stood up and hugged her fist slightly towards He Lixian. Seeing this, Ji Liuhuo, Ling Sushuang, Tanuki Zhi and Arnold also stood up from their positions, and He Lixian saw that the few of them knew that they were leaving, and hurriedly said, "If the four monks don't dislike it, please have lunch before leaving." ”

He Lixian got up as he spoke, and came over to keep Ziyu and the others. He Lixian thought very simply, Ziyu and his party were all monks, if they could make good friends with them, then it would be a good thing for the He family to benefit and not harm.

If Ziyu and the others can enjoy a meal in He Mansion, then if it spreads, outsiders will definitely think that He Mansion has something to do with monks and even the Soul Seeking Sect. And once He Fu has this layer of protection, then it can be safe and secure for at least a hundred years.

And Ziyu naturally understood this origin, and seeing that Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang had no opinions, they agreed.

He Lixian was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly called the housekeeper to order him to go down. Fortunately, after He Lixian heard the news that the monk was coming last night, although he had no hope of leaving him for dinner, he had been preparing for a long time in advance.

It's just that it's not yet lunchtime, so He Lixian instructed He Jieying to take a few people to go around the back garden in He Mansion.

He Lixian originally wanted to let only Ziyu and Ling Sushuang pass, while Arnold stayed behind to entertain Ji Liuhuo and Tanuki with him. Although he now knows that Arnold is a cat demon, thinking that there are monks in Arnold, he will naturally not do anything harmful to him, not to mention that he has also been with Arnold for more than half a year, and he has some affection for Arnold.

But who knew that Tanuki didn't cooperate, and soon after Ziyu and Ling Sushuang walked with He Jieying, she said goodbye to He Lixian: "My sister is not in good health, I have to take care of her." ”

After Tanuki Zhi finished speaking, he called Arnold, and the two followed Ziyu one after the other, while Ji Liuhuo saw that Tanuki and Arnold followed, and he was a little absent-minded in the face of He Lixian.

Seeing this, He Lixian had no choice but to lead Ji Liuhuo to follow.

Although the He Mansion is now somewhat declining, this mansion has been inhabited for several generations. It is said that the original site of this mansion was the house of a large family, and later the family moved due to some things, so the house was sold to He Lixian's ancestors.

The ancestors of the He family have produced many talented talents, and they have also expanded and repaired this house several times. The He family is a literati, and the literati are elegant, so the scenery of the back garden of the He Mansion is well-known in the Qindu area.

There is only one small entrance to the park, but it is divided into two kinds of waterways and landways, the waterways extend in all directions, and the land routes are intricately twisted and turned, each with its own characteristics, and also has its own unique scenery.

Ziyu originally wanted to take the water route, but because He Jieying had been instructed by He Lixian in advance, she persuaded Ziyu to go by land together.

And the raccoon dog has always understood Ziyu, and after entering the park, he saw a waterway and a landway, so he naturally chose the waterway, so he staggered with Ziyu.

With the Ji Liuhuo led by He Lixian, he naturally quickly reconciled with Ziyu and Ling Sushuang in the garden.

Because the relationship between Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang has not yet eased, Ling Sushuang's smile suddenly froze on his face after seeing Ji Liuhuo coming, and he wanted to leave after gently pushing He Jieying.

Only then did Zi Yu realize that something was wrong between Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang, so she watched Ling Sushuang and He Jieying leave together, and then walked towards Ji Liuhuo.

"Brother Liuhuo, what's wrong with you and Sister Sushuang?" Ziyu asked after He Lixian left.

Ji Liuhuo moved to the side with his hands behind his back, and gave up the position he was standing in to Ziyu: "It's a contradiction, it's not a big deal." ”

When Zi Yu heard this, she knew that Ji Liuhuo didn't plan to tell her, and she didn't want to ask any more, so she bit her lip and didn't know what to say for a while.

Ziyu and Ji Liuhuo were standing side by side on one side of a wooden bridge at this time. Under the bridge is a pond surrounded by reeds and duckweed floating in the center. The pond is connected to flowing water on both sides, and the distance that extends is hidden in the rockery.

"Will you go back to Ten Thousand Demon Mountain?" For a long time, it was Ji Liuhuo who broke the silence first.

Ziyu almost blurted out: "Naturally not." ”

Then fell into silence again, but Ziyu could notice that the people around her seemed to be in a happy mood.

Zi Yu raised her head slightly, and the eyes were half of Ji Liuhuo's side face, and the high nose bridge and tight thin lips added a lot of coldness to it, but it was not the kind of deliberate coldness, but with a faint height.

Just when Zi Yu was about to retract his gaze, it happened that Ji Liuhuo also turned his head, and the two met their eyes, and inexplicably, Ji Liuhuo's face was dyed with a thin layer of red.

For no reason, Zi Yuxin's heart suddenly fell on a beat.

Ji Liuhuo turned his head back casually, looked at the pond clouds and asked lightly, "What's wrong?" ”

Ziyu scratched her head, and suddenly remembered the fan she had specially bought two days ago, and suddenly had something to say: "It's okay." By the way, Brother Liuhuo, I have something I've always wanted to give you. ”

"Huh?" Ji Liuhuo turned his head again. At this time, the thin red on his face had dissipated, and he had returned to his former cold appearance. Ziyu couldn't help but feel a little pity, and then stretched out her hand and pulled it into her sleeve.

Ji Liuhuo looked at Zi Yu with his head down, put one hand into the sleeve of the other hand, frowned tightly as if he was struggling to find something, and muttered quietly as he pulled it, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"This is it." Ziyu's eyes lit up, and she finally took out a small wooden box from her sleeve.

Ji Liuhuo wanted to reach out and take it, but after thinking about it, he didn't take it, but he asked with some curiosity: "What is in this?" ”

Seeing that Ji Liuhuo didn't seem to have the intention of accepting it, Zi Yu couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and was about to open her mouth when she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming over: "Xiao Yu'er, do you want to come to the boat?" ”

Zi Yu's hand that had not yet stretched out stiffened, and hurriedly retracted it. Turning his hand behind his back, he tucked the wooden box back into his sleeve as he looked at the source of the sound.

Not far from the bridge, a wooden boat was slowly coming out of the rockery along the current, slowly rowing towards the pond. On the tip of the boat stood a man in red, his face was like a peach blossom and his eyes were like stars, and his skin was as white as snow when he was dressed in red, obviously a man, but he was more beautiful than a woman.

Seeing that Ziyu didn't answer, her hands were hidden behind her back with a weak heart, and Ji Liuhuo, who was standing beside her, retracted the hand she just wanted to stretch out with a slightly gloomy face, and immediately understood what the two of them were doing before.

"I'm not going to get on the boat, I haven't seen the scenery on land yet." Ziyu shouted in the direction of Tanuki, hiding the small wooden box in her sleeve as she shouted.

If the raccoon sees this wooden box, it is estimated that he will snatch it again. Zi Yu breathed a sigh of relief after hiding the wooden box, she saw that something was wrong between Tanuki and Ji Liuhuo, if she let Tanuki know that this wooden box contained a gift for Ji Liuhuo, then it is estimated that this thing will not be able to be saved.

After hiding the wooden box, Ziyu made a gesture and walked under the bridge: "Tanuki, you and Arnold have fun, I'll ......"

Before Zi Yu finished speaking, Tanuki had already flown from the boat to the bridge: "If I didn't have Xiao Yu'er together, how could I have fun?" ”

As he spoke, Tanuki reached out to pull Ziyu's hand, and walked sideways to the other side of Ziyu without a trace, just blocking Ji Liuhuo's sight, and whispered softly by the way: "Xiao Yu'er, Arnold has something important to tell you." ”

Ziyu originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard Tanuki's words, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Arnold who was sitting on the boat. Arnold was still in human form at this time, and it was a little lonely to stand alone on the bridge.

"Okay then." Zi Yu said softly, and then poked out his head and said to Ji Liuhuo behind the raccoon dog: "Brother Liuhuo, I have some things, I will leave with the raccoon first, you have fun." ”

As soon as Ziyu finished speaking, she was picked up by the raccoon dog and flew to the boat.

Zi Yufang landed on the boat, and the boat suddenly sped up and rowed towards the other end of the pond. Ziyu was unprepared, and an unstable one fell back into the arms of the raccoon.

And Ji Liuhuo on the bridge saw this scene, his face couldn't help but be a little colder, and he glanced at the man in red who was blocking Ziyu tightly on the boat, and looked back at him with a smile before disappearing into the rockery, his expression was even colder.

But Tanuki didn't care about the sharp gaze behind him, but he was in a good mood, and his expression softened when he saw Arnold.

Arnold was furious by the tanuki, and unconsciously walked back a little farther away from Ziyu.

Ziyu didn't pay attention to Arnold's retreat, and after standing firm, she glared at the raccoon in annoyance, only then did she look at Arnold with a softened expression and asked, "Arnold, what do you have to tell me?" ”
