Xuan Ying and Linglong had just run more than ten steps when they heard someone calling behind them.

"You two don't have to go back!"

Listening to the voice, it seems to be a red lotus.

The two hurriedly stopped, and when they looked back, it was indeed a red lotus.

Xuan Ying hurriedly came over to see the master and asked, "Master, why don't you go back without us?"

Red Lotus said: "The Demon Sect has a big thing to do now, it is mobilizing manpower, of course you are among them, so you don't need to go back, the moonlit night and the wind have returned, they said that they didn't see the two of you in the place where you were guarding, I was worried that something would happen to you, and I was about to go to look for it, and it happened that you came back." ”

In normal times, Linglong would have pestered Honglian to ask what was going on, but since she learned about Xuanying and Xie Qin, she became gloomy and silent, and did not react to what Honglian said at all.

Honglian felt strange and said to Xuan Ying, "You go to the main hall first and wait for the sect master's instructions." ”

"Yes. ”

Xuanying went first.

Honglian pulled Linglong to a secluded and uninhabited place, and asked, "What happened again?" ”

Linglong smiled reluctantly: "Where do I have something on my mind, do I seem to be a person with a heart? Auntie, you are wrong." ”

Honglian shook her head and said, "I remember that I asked you once when I was in the underworld, and you prevaricated and said that it was nothing, and now you say that it is okay." I know you, even if something big happens, you won't take it to heart, at most you will forget about it for half a day, but today is very different from the past, you have been depressed for many days without seeing a happy face, what happened to make you so depressed? You regard me as a mother, and I treat you like my own child, what can't you do with me?"

As soon as these words came out, Linglong's eyes were red and she wanted to cry, but she immediately turned her face aside and said lightly: "It's really okay, auntie, don't ask endlessly." ”

After speaking, he got up and walked into the main hall of the Dao Palace.

Honglian was stunned there, frowning and sighing and shaking her head, she had been secretly speculating for the past few days, why Linglong had become like this, and what had happened in the three months since she disappeared that she was extremely annoyed and unwilling to speak?

Red Lotus was suspicious in her heart, and slowly returned to the main hall.

There were already about twenty or thirty people gathered in the main hall, in addition to the thirteen heads of the Demon Sect, such as Ding Dingtian, Jiuyue, Jiu Tribulation, Xingtian, and Feilong, there were also seventeen or eighteen new faces, male or female, vulgar or Taoist, old or young, tall and short, and dressed in different ways.

Xuanying, Moonlit Night, Suifeng and Linglong, who came in later, were also mixed in, and Honglian raised her eyes to search and found Linglong with her eyebrows lowered and her head hanging behind Moonlit Night.

On weekdays, on this lively occasion, Linglong will inevitably squeeze together with Xuan Ying, laughing and commenting, picking up and pointing to the west, and now he is far away from Xuan Ying, it seems that the problem lies with Xuan Ying.

Honglian knew that Linglong and Xuanying had been in love with each other since they met two years ago, and they secretly wanted each other, and Honglian was allowed to do this in her heart, and the reason why she didn't break it was because she didn't want the two of them to be restrained.

Now there is a gap between them, could it be that Linglong is still thinking about the fake marriage between Xuanying and Xie Qin in Kunlun three months ago? But after the incident, it has been said, this is just a trick that Xie Qin pretended to promise in order to save Xuanying, and it stands to reason that Linglong will not be obsessed with this matter all the time, which is inconsistent with her ordinary character, presumably for other things.

Thinking of this, Honglian quietly came to Xuan Ying's side, pulled him to the corner of the hall, and asked in a low voice: "What happened to you and Linglong?" She has been depressed recently, there must be something bigger than the sky for her that has been bothering her, you and her have been together, you should know something." ”

Xuan Ying hung her head and said dejectedly: "Master, I also want to know what happened, but I really don't know, I have asked her a few times, but she refuses to say, disciple ・・・・・・ disciple has always been suspicious and at a loss." ”

Honglian frowned and said: "Even you don't know at all? This is strange, she didn't have an abnormality before, you lost contact with Dingtian three months ago, and she became like this after you came back, during this period the two of you have been together, is she suddenly like this?"

Xuan Ying thought for a while, and then said: "Three months ago, the disciple and Linglong separated from the sect master and Hui Wei to look for the Yue Yue sisters, during which they have been very good, she also talked and laughed, we found the Ming sisters in the underground grotto of Wentian Valley, and later worked with the old Mr. and Mrs. Ming Candle Immortal to refine the Taiyin Dust Mirror, and the old Mr. Ming Candle Immortal was shot and injured by the Hell Death, and it was normal during this period, until we met the Shadowless King when we came back later, she didn't ・・・・・・"

"The Shadowless King?"

Red Lotus hurriedly said, "Ruolan, the daughter of Master Habu?"

Xuanying nodded: "It's her, but the disciple didn't see it, it was Linglong herself, and she also said that Xie Qin and her father Xie Di were also present, at that time, according to her, the Hell Death just shot Xie Di's soul, and it was the Shadowless King who saved Xie Qin's life, and Linglong used the Taiyin Dust Mirror to repel the Hell Death and save the Shadowless King." ”

Red Lotus looked at him and asked, "And then?"

Xuan Ying sighed: "No, Linglong said so much, since then she has been very cold to me, and it is no longer like before." ”

Speaking of this, Xuan Ying shook his head dejectedly.

Honglian said: "In other words, the thing that changed Linglong's temperament happened at that time, you were not there at that time, and Linglong refused to tell you, so you don't know anything about what happened, and the only people who may know about it are Xie Qin and Ruolan." ”

Xuan Ying nodded and said: "It should be like this, Xie Qin's whereabouts are uncertain, I don't know where she is at all, so I can't ask, but the Shadowless King Ruolan was caught here by Master Habu last night, maybe ask her・・・・・・ Oh terrible!"

He suddenly remembered that Ruolan had been let go by Linglong last night, and he couldn't get information from her mouth.

Honglian heard his scream badly, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Xuan Ying said helplessly: "It's a pity that the Shadowless King Ruolan has already fled, and she can't ask her anymore." ”

Honglian nodded and said: "Yes, Ruolan was rescued by someone last night, and she also knocked Ming Chongyan unconscious, and there was also Senior Brother Yanyun who disappeared together, I guessed that Senior Brother Yanyun let her go, but ・・・・・・How did you know about this?"

Xuanying was about to say that Linglong let Ruolan go, but after thinking about it, if Honglian knew that Linglong did it, she would definitely be unhappy, so she hurriedly said: "I saw it, I also chased her, but I didn't catch up with her." ”

"That's right. ”

Honglian said: "I will figure out this matter, the big thing of demon eradication is close at hand, I hope you don't affect your mood because of this matter." ”

Xuan Ying nodded and said, "Yes, Master, I know the severity." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud laugh in the center of the hall.
