Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Enemy

Bai Xuan finished settling the group of the Gray Sect, and then went to the hunting village with peace of mind.

Through this group of people, Bai Xuan has an understanding of the actions of the Gray Sect, first of all, Bai Shushu is still safe at the moment, the Gray Sect has not really caught anyone, this is also what makes Bai Xuan feel good, secondly, the branch of the Gray Sect is on the southern ancient road outside the White Emperor City, even if you go out of the White Emperor City from the hunting village, you still have to pass through the White Emperor City Pass first, and the ancient road to the south is still unusually long, so even if it is out of the next step, Bai Shushu is arrested, then Bai Xuan also has a very sufficient rescue time.

As for the relationship between the Gray Sect and the Fengyun Pavilion in the end, Bai Xuan originally wanted an additional gain, but unfortunately he didn't get his wish, but the information he had so far had already greatly increased his confidence.

At this time, just after the child, the stars that should be in the sky were covered by thick dark clouds, so the autumn and winter season, with this gloomy weather, really makes people's mood unhappy.

It's as if the heavy clouds are not only pressing down on the sky, but also on everyone's heart.

Bai Xuan is not a person who is easily affected by external things, but at this moment, walking on this deserted ancient road, feeling such an oppressive atmosphere between heaven and earth, and thinking about Bai Xuan's long-cherished things, it really made him a little inexplicably anxious.

"Why are you so preoccupied?"

Yin Wanwu obviously saw that Bai Xuan's state was a little abnormal, and asked with concern.

Bai Xuan shook his head and said with a wry smile,

"I don't know, it's just that so much has happened lately, and sometimes I suddenly think, should I really do this, am I helping her or causing trouble for her?"

Yin Wanwu looked at Bai Xuan with a kind smile,

"Why, you regret it after only a few days?"

Bai Xuan sighed,

"I suddenly have a strange feeling now, what is behind the long-awaited dream, it seems that it is not as simple as I thought. ”

Yin Wanwu also nodded,

"With such a powerful and unstable soul power, it must not be easy. ”

But Bai Xuan shook his head again,

"Soul power is secondary, I feel long-awaited, she's a person, I'm really afraid that when I meet her again, it's no longer the long-awaited person I know. ”

Yin Wanwu frowned,

"You say this, the old man is a little confused, is it possible that the girl will become another person?"

A strange uneasiness flashed in Bai Xuan's eyes, and he said slowly,

"I hope it's just me thinking about it. ”

Bai Xuan, who was still facing the Gray Sect or the hippie smile, was actually saying words that were difficult to understand at this moment, this kind of change without warning, the sunny boy in the past, after going through so many things, obviously became a little deeper in many times, but whether these changes were good or bad for Bai Xuan, even Yin Wanwu couldn't be sure, at this moment, he could only look at Bai Xuan quietly, he saw infinite possibilities in this seventeen-year-old boy, but at the same time, there was a little uncertain worry.

Walking like this unconsciously, Bai Xuan suddenly raised his head and said,

"Sir, we seem to have arrived. ”

Yin Wanwu has been following Bai Xuan to ponder, and only after hearing Bai Xuan's call can he come back to his senses, looking at the inconspicuous ancient wooden gate in front of him.

When Bai Xuan arrived, it was already ugly, except for the hunters who were chasing the night and the lights of the stars, but there was silence.

Early morning is the busiest time in the hunting village, a large number of hunters will get up early and go into the mountains to hunt and collect medicine, so that they can sell in the market in the afternoon, and in contrast, the mercenary group activities are much later, they generally do not like to commission too early, because many dangerous orders are late at night, and these commissions are far more profitable than those boring commissions during the day.

Hunters who go into the mountains to hunt, even in the afternoon, usually go to different towns to sell their game, after all, the competition in the hunting villages is too fierce to bring them good returns. So they would rather go the extra mile and set up stalls in neighboring towns and towns that can bring them high profits.

Some hunters, in order to sell at a better price, do not hesitate to travel for a few days to sell outside the White Emperor City, or even farther away.

In this way, the entire hunting village passed the early morning, and until the mercenary group opened in the afternoon to take the commission, there were almost no people, and it seemed extremely deserted.

In fact, Bai Xuan had heard about this kind of grand occasion from Bai Ao a long time ago, but it was a pity that he had never been here once, and today he had a rare opportunity, not only did he not catch up with the good hour, but he didn't even have such a mood.

Bai Xuan walked on the street of Hunting Village, thinking of Sun Shaojie and Lu Yi.

"Listening to what the people of the Gray Sect said, it seems that there are still some contacts between Lu Yi and the Gray Sect, I hope this White Tiger Mercenary Group is not a puppet of the Gray Sect. ”

Bai Xuan muttered as he walked.

Since the team of the Gray Sect is still chasing Bai Shushu, as long as they find them, they must be able to know Bai Shushu's whereabouts.

Bai Xuan thought so in his heart, compared to Bai Shushu, the Gray Sect is such a big team, the target is obviously much bigger, and it is much easier to find, but he doesn't want to find Bai Shushu through the Gray Sect.

He didn't want the people of the Gray Sect to follow Bai Shusu.

This kind of ambivalence made Bai Xuan a little absent-minded.

Unconsciously, Bai Xuan walked to a small inn.

Bai Xuan walked into the inn, he wanted to drink a cup of tea to refresh himself, so that he could calm down and think about the next arrangements.

"Shopkeeper, do you have tea for sale?"

Bai Xuan asked with a smile.

I saw that there were no other customers in the lobby of the store, except for the shopkeeper, who was still on duty, even the shopkeeper was leaning on the table and napping, and when he heard Bai Xuan's call, he suddenly woke up.

"Yo, Childe is so late at night, and he still has to drink tea. Look at your dress, don't you look like a hunter, from out of town?"

The shopkeeper looked at Bai Xuan and led Bai Xuan in with a smile.

Bai Xuan smiled faintly and said,

"yes, just arrived. ”

The shopkeeper greeted warmly,

"That son is really hard, this is not in the village and there is no store, I must have walked a lot, what kind of tea do you want to drink?"

Bai Xuan nodded,

"It's been a long night's journey, and I'm a little tired, just bring me some refreshing tea. ”

The shopkeeper answered, and went to prepare tea for Bai Xuan.

The shopkeeper walked out of the inner hall yawning again and again, rubbing his sleepy eyes vigorously and running to help the shopkeeper.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to walk up to Bai Xuan with tea,

"Childe, what do you want for your tea?"

Bai Xuan shook his head with a smile, and then stuffed a gold coin to the shopkeeper.

"I've already eaten on the way here, so I'll just have some tea, but I have a question for you. ”

The shopkeeper was holding this gold coin, as if he had suddenly sobered up a lot, and said with a smile on his face,

"Childe, what do you want to ask?"

Although he didn't have much hope, Bai Xuan still wanted to try his luck.

"Actually, I came all the way to find a woman. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said,

"I can't see that Childe is still a seed of infatuation!"

Bai Xuan is busy explaining,

"You misunderstood, the woman I am looking for is my sister, with long black hair and a long white dress, have you seen it in the past few days?"

The shopkeeper was thoughtful, shook his head slowly, and suddenly looked like he suddenly realized, and shouted to the shopkeeper,

"Shopkeeper, the girl who came to stay last night, is it black with long hair and white dress?"

The shopkeeper nodded again and again,

"There is such a girl, she is so beautiful and beautiful, and she doesn't look like people in our village. ”

Bai Xuan didn't want to ask, but he didn't expect to really let him run into it, Bai Xuan's heart, which was a little tired and worried, suddenly became extremely excited, and asked emotionally,

"And do you know where that girl has gone?"

The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper looked at each other, and said in unison,

"That girl didn't go anywhere, she lived upstairs. ”

Such a simple sentence almost made Bai Xuan faint directly with excitement, he was looking forward to seeing Bai Shushu as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to meet him without warning and without preparation.

"Hurry up, take me to her!"

Bai Xuan excitedly took the hand of the shopkeeper and shouted.

The shopkeeper looked at Bai Xuan a little bewildered, but fortunately, at this time, the shopkeeper ran over and said slowly,

"Childe, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, this hour... It's a girl's family again..."

Only then did Bai Xuan realize what an unreasonable request he had just made, and he hurriedly apologized,

"It's so late at night, it's really my recklessness. So, shopkeeper, it's good for you to open a room next door for me?"

Although the shopkeeper's face was embarrassed, he still sighed and said,

"I see that Childe is dignified, and you don't look like a person with bad intentions, if you change someone else, I'm afraid I won't do it, so do what Childe said. ”

The shopkeeper took the key and personally took Bai Xuan upstairs, and when he passed by a side room, the shopkeeper signaled Bai Xuandao,

"This is the girl's room, and the childe's room is next door. I also believe in your character, Childe, and I guess you won't do anything out of the ordinary. ”

Bai Xuan thanked him again and again, and after taking the key, the shopkeeper also went downstairs after repeated instructions, leaving Bai Xuan alone, standing quietly in front of this wing.

At this moment, Bai Xuan and Bai Shushu were only one door apart, Bai Xuan raised his hand several times and wanted to knock on the door, but he hesitated and put it down.

Bai Xuan's hesitation was because it was late at night, and it was not until this moment that Bai Xuan really found out that he was not prepared for how to face Bai Shushu at all, perhaps he was more worried that Bai Shushu was not ready to face him.

After thinking about it again, Bai Xuan still shook his head and walked straight to his own room.

Sitting at the tea table in the room, Bai Xuan was still panting, and his excitement could not be calmed down for a long time.

"You're holding your breath. ”

There is no secluded road.

Bai Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly,

"In the middle of the night, what can I do, I can only wait. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Xuan shook his head self-deprecatingly and said,

"I hate waking up early the most, but I'm afraid it's my limit until early in the morning. ”

Yin Wanwu sighed and said slowly,

"Old man, I think you're a little afraid of seeing a girl, right?"

Bai Xuan took a sip of the tea in front of him, and then drank it all,

With a wry smile,

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything, sir. In fact, it wasn't until that moment just now that I seemed to find out that after seeing Su Shu, what to say, how to do it, I never thought about it, I only wanted to find Su Shu, but even if I found it? Su Su only left a note, that is, he left from the Bai family, no matter what happened, he just didn't want us to be implicated, but now..."

Bai Xuan wanted to speak and stopped, sighed again, filled the cup with tea, and drank it all.

Yin Wanwu smiled faintly,

"Why, you still want to get yourself drunk with tea?"

Bai Xuan scratched his head and put down the teacup in his hand,

"Sir, what should I say when I see my dreams?"

Hidden and dumbfounded,

"Between your brothers and sisters, what do you say on weekdays, what are you going to say at this time!"

Bai Xuan sighed in his heart, yes, brother and sister, the two of them have nothing to say on weekdays, but why did they suddenly feel that they didn't know how to face it at this juncture?

Bai Xuan always had scruples in his heart, he knew Bai Shushu, if he didn't say goodbye, then he would want Bai Shushu to come to him, and he wouldn't want Bai Shushu to come to him.

Bai Xuan was entangled, sometimes talking to himself, sometimes pacing in the house, and even casually looking out the window, hoping that the sun would rise early.

This night was difficult for Bai Xuan, and it was impossible to have a good rest, Bai Xuan was anxious, and at the same time he always paid attention to the movement in the next room, which was extremely quiet.

I don't know how long it took, Bai Xuan was a little helpless, shook his head and smiled,

"Sir, you said, she has been making trouble all over the city, and the people of the Gray Sect are looking for her everywhere, and she is still in the mood to sleep well, this heart is really not ordinarily wide. ”

Yin Wanwu smiled faintly and said,

"Isn't this good, it means that the girl is still the girl you are familiar with. ”

Bai Xuan smiled with relief when he heard this,

Yes, Bai Shushu is still the Bai Shushu he is familiar with, what else is there to worry about?

Bai Xuan smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, and was about to open the door to go out, when he suddenly heard the noise downstairs, Bai Xuan looked out through the window, and finally looked forward to the early morning sunshine.

Bai Xuan was about to go out to find Bai Shusu, when he suddenly heard a hawker downstairs shouting,

"Purple Sweet Potato Cake! Fresh Fresh Purple Sweet Potato Cake!"

"Purple sweet potato cake?"

Bai Xuan was a little stunned when he heard the hawker's shouting.

"What do you mean by this purple potato cake?"

Yin looked at Bai Xuandao puzzled.

Bai Xuan smiled knowingly and said lightly,

"Mr. didn't know, purple potato cake is my favorite dim sum, when I was a child, every time I cried, my eldest brother would take me to the market to buy some purple potato cake, this little girl immediately smiled. ”

This purple potato cake inadvertently evoked the memories of Bai Xuan and Bai Shushu when they were children.

"It's just right, I'll go buy some, and if I'm crying for a while, I'll gag her mouth with purple potato cake. ”

After saying that, Bai Xuan smiled and ran downstairs happily,

"When did Childe be so happy, but the girl woke up?"

Seeing Bai Xuan go downstairs, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile, Bai Xuan smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders,

"That's not true, it's just that I saw that there was a purple potato cake selling at the door, that girl had the best bite, I'll buy some and bring it back when she gets up." ”

Hearing Bai Xuan say this, the shopkeeper also laughed,

"Childe really has a heart. ”

Bai Xuan smiled and nodded to the shopkeeper, then walked out of the inn and shouted to buy purple potato cake.

The vendor selling purple potato cake was on the edge of the inn, and Mo said that if he listened to the shouting, even if Bai Xuan smelled the taste, he could find it with his eyes closed.

Holding the hot purple potato cake in his hand, Bai Xuan's heart was warm.

Just as Bai Xuan was checking out, there was a sudden commotion not far away, and some curious people on the side of the road also watched, as if something had happened.

But at this moment, Bai Xuan was only thinking about Bai Shushu in his heart, and such idle facts could not arouse his interest.

But just as Bai Xuan was about to go back to the inn after buying the purple potato cake, a little girl suddenly popped out of the pile.

The little girl looked at Mo about eleven or twelve years old, wearing an eye-catching fiery red skirt,

There are two delicate buns tied to the crimson hair, and two strings of bells are tied to the colored rope that binds the buns, and a red fluttering little face is very cute, but now this cute face is full of horror, and he runs towards Bai Xuan while looking back.

Listening to the ringing of the string of "bells, bells", Bai Xuan subconsciously turned his head.

This time I turned around, I saw that the little girl hit Bai Xuan's waist like a headless fly. Bai Xuan's ninth-order soul power, even if she doesn't use her soul power, her body is much stronger than ordinary people, the little girl was unconsciously shaken by Bai Xuan, and sat on the ground with her head in her arms, her big watery eyes were already red and swollen from crying at the moment, and she said to Bai Xuan in a trilled voice that was almost silent,

"Big... Big brother... Help me!"

Bai Xuan frowned, thinking to himself, could it be that Fang Cai's riot was because of this little girl?

Bai Xuan helped the little girl up and said softly,

"Didn't you hurt, did it hurt?"

The little girl was obviously hurt, but she wiped her tears, shook her head, and said in a voice that was so light that it was almost inaudible,

"It doesn't hurt..."

Bai Xuan gently rubbed the little girl's head, and was about to ask what was going on, when a group of people ran out of the pile, and the leading man looked at twenty-four or five, tall and thin, dressed in a python robe, and that skinny face with towering and weird cheekbones.

At this moment, the good and evil smiled and looked around,

"Little girl, don't run, come to my brother!"

Listening to this cold laughter, the little girl subconsciously trembled all over, and suddenly rushed behind Bai Xuan.

When the little girl moved, the bell on her head rang as a "bell".

When the man heard the sound of the bell, he looked for prestige, and at a glance he saw Bai Xuan standing not far away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he saw Bai Xuan, this man subconsciously took a few steps back, and his deep and strange eyes were instantly covered with bloodshots.

Bai Xuan looked at the man in front of him, his originally calm eyes suddenly shot out infinite firelight, and said word by word in an almost angry voice,

"Lu Yi, you dog, you don't even let go of such a young child, it's a loss of conscience!"
