At this time, Xia Sheng didn't know that the second Wang who had been standing behind him was not a servant of the Marquis of Weining's mansion, but the most outstanding staff member under Ye Jiang's tent.

Now he is the steward of this handsome mansion.

The reason why Wang Er appeared here today was not really to serve Xia Sheng, but from the moment Xia Sheng entered the door, he was secretly carefully observing the every move of this little aunt of the Hou Mansion.

He came to take Ye Shuai's hands.

is even more for Mrs. Ye to evaluate whether Xia Sheng is worthy of his own miss.

In the end, the answer given by Wang Er is a bit ambiguous, but if it is understood in a literal sense, it is at least a compliment, not a disparagement.

To Mrs. Ye's ears, this is already a high evaluation.

But that still couldn't change her original intention of wanting to break the engagement.

Everything Mrs. Ye did before was not to make a show, nor was it to test Xia Sheng, but out of sincerity.

Because she firmly believes that in addition to Xia Sheng, her daughter can have a better choice.

For example, the little master of the Li family, Li Rujing.

It's not just that the two families are on the right track, but more importantly, Mrs. Ye, as a mother, understands her daughter's mind better.

She knew that Ye Xiao'e had been secretly liking Li Rujing, if it weren't for Xia Sheng, a mountain boy who came out of nowhere, suddenly stepped in, maybe half a month ago, the Li family would have come to propose.

As soon as she thought of this, Mrs. Ye hated itchy, and now it seems that perhaps the only way is to start with his father, the cook named Xia Hong, according to Xia Sheng.

At the same time, Xia Sheng and his entourage under the leadership of Yun'er, came to a courtyard in the west of the Weining Hou Mansion, this garden has no name, but the scenery is quite pleasing to the eye, not only the green trees are shady, and there is even a living water in the courtyard, on which there is a delicate stone bridge, a few clusters of peony flowers that are blooming are looming behind the rockery, the fragrance of the flowers is ethereal, and it is intoxicating.

Meng Qi was not interested in these scenery at all, but Ning Zheng was quite interested, and admired a superb peony.

Seeing this, Yun'er couldn't help but smile and said: "It's a pity that you didn't come at the right time, if you had come earlier, catch up with our peony flower meeting in Luoyang City, then it would be lively!"

Speaking of this, Yun'er's face suddenly froze, and her eyes suddenly became extremely gloomy.

Xia Sheng seemed to be moved and asked, "What's wrong with Miss Yun'er?"

Yun'er shook her head and muttered, "It's nothing, just remembering a friend, she used to be the most lively." ”

Xia Sheng's heart was shocked, and he took a deep breath, as if he had mustered up a lot of courage, before finally blurting out the person's name: "Yes, Miss Shui'er?"

Yun'er's body trembled slightly, and she tried to raise a smile and said, "Yun'er forgot, Shui Er followed Miss to White Horse Town before, and wanted to know Xia Gongzi. ”

For a while, Xia Sheng felt a little panicked in his heart, but he still asked the most important question: "Miss Shui'er, she ...... She...... Are you still alive?"

Hearing this, a mist immediately rose in Yun'er's eyes, she raised her hand, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, shook her head, but couldn't say a word.

The last glimmer of hope in Xia Sheng's heart was finally completely shattered, he looked at the peony flower not far away, and his heart became sad with Yun'er for no reason.

......

At the same time, in the Ye family's trial place, in the Netherworld Secret Realm, he smashed the dark fire in front of him with a strong sword, and turned his head, only to find that his young lady was standing in place, seemingly a little stunned.

"Miss?"

"Huh?" Ye Xiao'e came back to her senses, suddenly stuck out her tongue playfully, and said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't know what was going on just now, and I suddenly got a little distracted." ”

Hearing this, Tam Dali immediately became anxious: "Miss! I didn't let you come at the beginning, you wanted to follow me in secretly, this is not a paradise, but a poor and sinister place, if you are not careful, you will die! I was originally punished for not protecting Miss, if Miss has any more three long and two short, I don't wait for Ye Shuai to punish her, just make up my own mind!"

Ye Xiao'e argued at the moment: "That's not what I said, my father was confused about your punishment, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to leave the Forgotten Forest alive, such a great achievement, even if you don't give you a reward, you still have to be punished, you can accept this, I can't accept it!"

Saying that, Ye Xiao'e patted the back of the rammed force again and comforted: "As the saying goes, good brothers should be blessed and share hardships, how can I bear to see you being punished alone?"

Tam Dali was about to cry: "Miss, what do you think about this, why am I a generation lower than Ye Shuai all of a sudden......"

Ye Xiao'e shook her head: "Oh, don't be polite to me, anyway, it's all the same meaning, the same meaning." ”

As he was talking, a burst of scorching intent suddenly struck from the sides of the two of them, and a dark flower with a dark body rushed up from the ground, and swept in front of Ye Xiao'e in an instant.

However, Ye Xiao'e was not panicked at all, the bright yellow aura burning outside her body was as stable as Mount Tai, and the cold aura condensed in her hands did not decrease at all.

"Go, Xiaobai!"

With Ye Xiao'e's soft roar, the next moment, in front of Ye Xiao'e, an incomparably solid ice wall was erected, and then, a snake tail came out of her arm lightly, and slammed it on the lotus flower, instantly smashing it to pieces.

The crisis was solved in an instant, but Ye Xiao'e's eyes became a little dark again.

Tam Dali sighed softly and said, "Miss, don't worry, that kid is not a short-lived ghost at first glance, and he will definitely survive." ”

Ye Xiao'e raised her hand and gently stroked the lock spirit ring on her wrist, although the Ice Armor Horned Demon Dragon that was once trapped in it had become the second spirit beast in her body, she could never forget how this spirit snake came from.

Darkly, she seemed to miss the grilled fish that night.

Perhaps, the man who grilled the fish for her.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao'e lowered her head lightly and said, "I'm just, a little bit of water." ”

This time, Tam Dali stopped answering, he knew that it would take a long time for Miss to come out of that pain, and he also knew that in this world, there was no second water that could replace the position in Miss's heart, he just didn't expect that Miss would suddenly become sentimental today.

So he smiled reluctantly and said to Ye Xiao'e: "Miss, let's come here today, let's find a place to rest for a while, and then continue to move forward when it is dawn." ”

Ye Xiao'e also found that her state today was not very good, and in this secret realm full of dangers, it was undoubtedly extremely deadly, so she nodded: "Okay." ”

After a while, he found an excellent hiding place, which was a natural stone cave, which could not only prevent the attack of the beasts, but also hinder the invasion of the ghostly fire, so that he could spend the night in peace.

Ye Xiao'e sat in the deepest part of the cave, picked up the dry food and nibbled a few bites, I don't know why, she felt a little cold in her body, so she subconsciously wrapped her clothes tightly, but unconsciously, she recalled the hug that made her panic.

She stretched out her arms, wrapped her knees around them, and muttered in a voice so low that she couldn't even hear herself, "Stinky rascal, you must not die again......
