At this time, Qi Ziyan, who had been remembered by Mu Xiaochu, was inspecting in a barren place.

"High Priest, this is where you said before?" Qi Ziyan's eyebrows frowned slightly, with an obvious suspicion in his eyes.

"Yes, this son, but I also said that if you want to enter here, you need the help of our holy maiden, otherwise you will not be able to enter."

"You know I don't like people lying to me." After Qi Ziyan finished speaking at the high priest, his voice instantly became cold.

"Since Childe has no intention of taking away the holy relics, then please come with Childe." The high priest pretended to be sorry, and after speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out, "High priest, don't be like this. After finishing speaking, he looked at Qi Ziyan and said softly: "Childe, I am willing to help you, just ask Childe to give me a name in the future." ”

After speaking, there was a hint of bitterness in the bottom of his eyes, and the corners of his lips were half-covered.

After Qi Ziyan finished speaking, her eyes moved from the ruins to her face, and the woman seemed to know that Qi Ziyan was looking at her, and the hand covering her lips was slightly lowered, leaving only a flushed cheek and the 'forced' look in the other party.

"Since you don't want to lend me the holy relics, then you will disturb me today." Qi Ziyan's eyes slowly moved away from the woman's face, looked at the high priest, and left the so-called holy place after speaking.

Seeing that Qi Ziyan was leaving, the woman was a little anxious, and unconsciously walked quickly to the other party, but after noticing the other party's cold and cold eyes, she felt that her actions were too abrupt, and instantly turned into a helpless expression, "Childe, I really volunteered, if Childe is afraid that your fiancée in the family will mind, I can be small." ”

The aggrieved voice, the pitiful expression.

"Holy Maiden!" The high priest walked quickly to the Holy Maiden, pulled her to his side, and disagreed: "The Holy Maiden is the most noble existence in our Wu Clan, how can she be so wronged for an insignificant person. ”

"However, Yan Gongzi said that it was to save people, I ......" The woman stopped halfway through speaking, but the meaning was obvious, the reason why she said that she wanted to be the other party's concubine was because she wanted to save people, not anything else.

"Holy Maiden, how can you be so selfless." The high priest continued to persuade with some sadness: "Even if the holy woman is to save people, she can't be wronged to be a concubine, if you want me to say, since that woman is only the fiancée of Yan Gongzi, then I will tolerate her being a concubine by Yan Gongzi's side, but it is absolutely impossible for our holy daughter to be someone else's concubine!" ”

In the end, he looked at Qi Ziyan with some indignation.

The holy woman glanced at Qi Ziyan after the high priest finished speaking, and found that he was indifferent to their conversation, biting her lower lip tightly, and said aggrievedly: "I know if I am worthy of Yan Gongzi, and I will be content to be Yan Gongzi's concubine by his side." ”

A very knowledgeable posture.

"I said you're enough, who told you that my son-in-law would marry your holy daughter, and you can't even compare to our lady's toes!" An entourage beside Qi Ziyan couldn't stand it anymore, and said angrily.

"Young Master Yan?" The holy woman looked at Qi Ziyan with red eyes after the entourage finished speaking, but the other party didn't even give the other party a look, and said to the people around her: "Eleven, open the way." ”

The voice was cold and cold.

Eleven, "Yes, Childe." ”

After speaking, he gave the holy woman a cold look, and walked in front of Qi Ziyan in a few steps.

After walking for a while, I saw a dense number of spiders on the ground, red and black, of different sizes.

Soon Eleven took out the saber on his waist and kept waving it, only to see that the dense spiders everywhere the saber went were divided in half, the sword swung faster and faster, and there were fewer and fewer spiders around.

Seeing this, the holy woman chopped off her foot angrily, quickly adjusted her mood, and said to the high priest beside her: "High priest, since Yan Gongzi and they have already gone out, then let's go out quickly, otherwise it will not be good for them to be hurt." ”

After saying that, he quickly chased after him.

"Hey, Holy Maiden, you should let them go out like this, I don't believe it, without the Holy Maiden by her side, they can walk out of this passage safely!" But no one heard this, for the saint to whom he spoke had already chased him out, and was far away from him.

Seeing this, the high priest had no choice but to chase after him.

At this time, Qi Ziyan and the others came to a passage from that desolate place, and the passage was surrounded by spiders.

"Young Master Yan, you can tell your entourage to step down, as long as I walk in front, those spiders won't dare to come." I wanted to say it in a modest tone, but when I said it, it was a show off without a trace, and there was a flash of pride in my eyes.

But Qi Ziyan ignored her, continued to walk on his own, and kept urging Eleven in front of him, "Speed up and get out of here." ”

Eleven, "Yes, Childe." ”

After saying that, the sword swung faster and faster, and the spiders around became fewer and fewer.

Seeing this, the saint knew that it was useless for her to say more, but she was very 'consciously' walking in front.

Sure enough, when she walked in front, Thursday's spiders didn't dare to step forward anymore, and they moved backwards one by one, as if they had encountered some terrible enemy, seeing this, the saint was even more proud, and said as she walked, "Because I have been bathing under various antidote herbs since I was a child, most of the poisons of the Wu clan dare not come near me." ”

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Eleven turned around and signaled to Qi Ziyan with his eyes, what should I do.

Qi Ziyan also signaled with his eyes: Don't worry about it, leave it to them.

Soon Eleven came behind Qi Ziyan and followed.

About half an hour later, the four of them walked out of a long passage.

Outside the passage, the fragrant peach blossoms, the emerald green branches and leaves, the trickling stream, the scenery is very charming, and compared with the so-called holy place before, it can really be described as a heaven and an underground.

Outside the passage, Qi Ziyan walked forward with a firm goal, and when she passed by the Holy Maiden, she originally planned to stop people, but in the end she was stopped by Eleven, and said in a mechanical tone: "Holy Maiden, our son is going back to rest."

After speaking, he followed Qi Ziyan.

Looking at the back of the two of them leaving, the holy woman clenched her fists under her, and a touch of viciousness flashed in her eyes.

"Holy Maiden, it is not worth it for such people, since they are unwilling, then we will never give them the holy relics, and see what they do." The High Priest said.

After the high priest finished speaking, the viciousness in the eyes of the holy woman disappeared instantly, and she changed into a good old man's appearance, "How can this be, Yan Gongzi said that they borrowed holy relics to save people, how can we care about human lives in vain." ”

Qi Ziyan, who was far away from this side, suddenly stopped, "I don't know how Xiao Chu's situation is when I haven't been back for so long." ”

"Don't worry, Madame has a dark one by her side to protect her, and she will be fine." Eleven hesitated for a moment and continued: "But, Shizi, what should I do here now, the holy relics have not been able to be borrowed, and I don't know when I will be able to go back." ”

Soon a man came from a distance and shouted to them, "Shizi, Eleven, you have come out-"

Eleven looked at the visitor and wondered, "Thirteen, why are you here, everything has been clarified?" ”

"Shizi." After approaching, the thirteenth first shouted Qi Ziyan and said, "I have already found out the situation here." ”

Qi Ziyan looked at Thirteen and said, "Let's go back and talk about it." ”

Thirteen, "Yes." ”

Three days later, Murong Mansion.

"What did you say, the prince asked me for a banquet?" On the swing in the courtyard, Mu Xiaochu spit out the jujube kernel in his mouth in surprise, and looked at Murong Yunling who was talking with wide eyes.

Murong Yunling nodded and replied, "Yes, Sister Xiaochu, you heard it right, the prince did find you to come out to the banquet, but if Sister Xiaochu doesn't want to go, I will ask someone to help you refuse." ”

Mu Xiaochu thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I've been a little bored lately, so let's go play." ”

"Okay, then I'll call someone to reply." After speaking, he ordered the maids around him to report.

Because now the little guy in the Prince's Mansion is still in Murong Mansion and has not left yet.

Half an hour later, Mu Xiaochu came to the pastry shop.

At this time, there were very few people coming to the pastry shop, and there were not as many people as expected.

Seeing Mu Xiaochu coming, the steward stepped forward and said, "Miss Xiaochu, you are here, may I ask who you are here today?" ”

"Oh, I'm here today." Mu Xiaochu laughed at himself, "But business is really miserable." ”

Steward, "This ......"

Mu Xiaochu interrupted the steward, "Okay, I know it's not your fault. ”

A month ago, the pastry shop opened, but unfortunately, the performance was not as good as expected, and it can be said that there were very few people who came.

Mu Xiaochu thought in his heart: Why was the same pastry bought very well in the town before, but few people bought it when they came to the capital?

That's unscientific, isn't it?

"Steward Xu, you go and get busy with your business first, I'll go shopping by myself." After saying that, he left.

In the kitchen at this time.

"Xiaocao, don't be lazy, today's pastry is not finished yet." Aunt Xu looked at Xiaocao, who was sitting on the side and was eating melon seeds, and said disapprovingly.

"Phew-" Xiaocao spit out the melon seed slices in his mouth, and said nonchalantly: "Just order the pastry, hello Xiaodouzi will be finished in a while, I won't get started, and I won't stain the clothes I just bought." ”

After speaking, he continued to swallow melon seeds.

"You, how can you be like this, Xiao Chu spent money to hire you to do things, not to eat melon seeds." Aunt Xu pointed to Xiaocao angrily.

"Phew-" spit out the melon seed slices in his mouth again, and said disdainfully: "Aunt Xu, that's not what I said, business is not good now, so some pastries, I think Aunt Xu alone can finish it, and now I have added a small bean to help you, if I go again, then Aunt Xu, won't you take the money for nothing." ”

After returning from the day of the soup kitchen, Mu Xiaochu didn't say anything, Xiaocao became more and more arrogant, plus the pastry shop has not been doing well since it opened, and there are very few pastries made every day, which makes Xiaocao do nothing and sit on a stool every day to eat melon seeds.

But the salary is correct, and there is no sense of shame.

"You, Xiaocao, how did you become like this, when you first came, you weren't like this, what made you become like this?" Aunt Xu asked sadly.

"......" Xiaocao's eyes were a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down and said, "No one, are you thinking too much." ”

"Oh, who's thinking too much?"
