It's the second half of the night.

It is the time when the people who go to bed late also sleep, but the people who get up early are not so early, and at this time, it is also the time when the Yunqin people think that the yin qi is the heaviest at night, and it is easiest to hit ghosts when they go out.

There was a dark cloud that obscured the moon.

A man dressed in dark night clothes flashed out of the shadows like a ghost, and used a sharp blade to cut the door bolt of the room where Mu Shenyun was.

Mu Shenyun, who was sitting on the bed, had already opened his eyes.

His eyebrows were originally extremely light, but now in the dark, his face seemed to have no hair, and his pale complexion made his facial features seem to be pinched out of ash, not like flesh and blood.

Looking at this nocturnal walker who appeared in his sight like a ghost, his waxy face was suddenly filled with a mocking look, and he sneered: "The young man really has no patience, and he can't even survive the night... It's just that I thought it would be Lin Xi, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”

The night walker's voice trembled slightly, but it had a sense of pleasure: "If I come, he won't have to come again." ”

"What a brotherhood. Mu Shenyun had a sneer on his face, but there was also a chill in his heart, he had already figured out what the opportunity the emperor gave him, but he kept feeling that this opportunity was more biased towards him, but he didn't expect that there were really people among these people who were so bold to assassinate themselves regardless of their future and life. He took a deep breath, tried his best to attack the weakness of the other party's mind, and sneered: "But I advise you not to harm Lin Xi instead, because you should understand that it is Lin Xi who is constantly leading this matter, so what the Holy Lord wants to see is Lin Xi's statement, it should not be your statement." Therefore, the Holy One only allows him to kill me, and you may not be able to kill me... If anything happens here, with his friendship with you, I'm afraid he will really come desperate to kill me and avenge you. You are young, you are all cultivators, and you have a great future, so why drown in the same river with someone like me, who is already half ruined?"

"So I advise you to leave immediately, so as not to harm Lin Xi instead. ”

Jiang Xiaoyi held a long black knife in his hand, although he was not as enthusiastic as Li Kaiyun, but he was also the kind of person who made Lin Xi admire at the expense of pursuing some kind of justice. He is not afraid of death... And every time he thinks of Mu Shenyun's face in his mind, he thinks of Wang Simin, and thinks of the beautiful woman who made his heart pound on the river dam and occupies a corner of his heart from then on, and is unforgettable, thinking that she was insulted by Mu Shenyun and whipped by him, he was heartbroken and couldn't breathe.

Feelings are a very inexplicable thing, it does not show mountain dew, but it will slowly sprout in the heart. Lin Xi knew Jiang Xiaoyi's affection for that stubborn girl, but she still underestimated it.

This kind of most indirect emotion that grew silently in his heart overwhelmed the etiquette and the supremacy of imperial power that was deeply rooted in Jiang Xiaoyi's heart, making him determined to come here to kill Mu Shenyun.

But at this time, his hand holding the knife was quietly trembling, because Lin Xi was also more important than his safety in his heart.

The two of them did not speak for a moment, and the deep mansion was completely silent again, except for the rustle of the leaves in the courtyard by the breeze.

Mu Shenyun's heart was slightly relaxed, thinking that the other party was immature after all, and he had the courage of a horseman, but at this moment, the wind seemed to be a little anxious, his cold and smug pupils shrank sharply, and a dense layer of cold sweat poured out all over his body, making him feel more and more powerless and weak.

Another black shadow emerged from the shadows like a ghost, wearing a green shirt and a black scarf, with bare hands, but also holding a black scarf in his hand.

Jiang Xiaoyi suddenly turned around, and when he saw this person, his eyes were slightly wet, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak.

Lin Xi, who was covered with his face, didn't make a sound, as if walking on water, silently came to him, patted him on the shoulder, and stuffed the black towel in his hand into his hand.

"Lin Xi, what do you mean by doing this?" Mu Shenyun couldn't help but speak, her voice trembled, a little too sharp and mutated: "Don't you know that you are Lin Xi if you cover your face?"

"Who said I was Lin Xi?"

Lin Xi looked at the senior officer of the military supervision department who was already in fear, and said softly seriously: "What evidence is there?"

"You..." Mu Shenyun almost indirectly cracked the wound on his back, he subconsciously wanted to scold Lin Xi for being shameless, but he thought that the other party was just learning from himself, just deliberately mocking himself.

Tonight is not destined to be peaceful.

Lin Xi himself knew very well that even if he didn't rush so much, he was afraid that he would not go unnoticed when he entered this courtyard.

"Lin Xi, you shouldn't come. The man did not hide his footsteps, and generously let the soles of his cloth shoes make a clear sound of footsteps through the cloister, and his figure appeared through a circular arch leading to the courtyard.

It was a slightly chubby middle-aged man, dressed as a scribe.

He is Gao Gongyue, and he is the great worship of the governor of Donglin Province, and few people can usually see him, and they don't know what kind of amazing cultivation this provincial governor's mansion worship is.

Gao Gongyue also knew Lin Xi's deeds, if Lin Xi didn't come, it would make him feel a little disappointed, but when he came, it made him appreciate it even more, so he came out at this time, not for Mu Shenyun's life, but because of Lin Xi.

"Where is Lin Xi? I'm not Lin Xi. ”

Lin Xi still replied very "shamelessly", he looked at the middle-aged man who came out, felt the terrifying smell that naturally flowed from the other party's body, and asked, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?"

"I'm Gao Gongyue, and I'm not well-known outside. ”

Gao Gongyue smiled kindly, looked at Lin Xi and said, "What evidence did you just say... You yourself are the proof. ”

Lin Xi looked at Gao Gongyue and said, "As long as you can run away, there is no evidence." ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying. You only need to run away, and there are only human witnesses, no physical evidence, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to punish you later on. Gao Gongyue touched her chin with her fat and white fingers like lotus roots, shook her head, and sighed: "It's just that you have to understand, who are you showing like this... And how could you possibly run away. ”

Lin Xi shook his head: "How do you know if you can't run away if you don't try?"

Gao Gongyue pursed his lips, but at this moment, he felt a trace of qi that only people in his realm could perceive.

He suddenly looked back and looked up at the bright moon.

The bright moon was still covered by dark clouds at the moment, and there was a person who seemed to fall from the dark clouds and fell under the wall in this courtyard.

There was no terrifying force that knocked on the earth, so that even the dirt under this person's feet did not splash out, but a certain smell on this person's body made the skin on Gao Gongyue's body quietly tingle.

This is a person who is wrapped in a heavy black robe, and his face is invisible, as if everything inside the black robe is also black.

It wasn't until Gao Gongyue turned around and faced this person that Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi realized that there was already one more person under the wall, but their cultivation was not enough, but they didn't feel the horror of the smell on this person for the first time, they just felt that this person was extremely calm and firm, it seemed that he was everything, and everything could not be shaken.

"There is no master like you in the entire Donglin Province. The expression on Gao Gongyue's face changed, "Do you Qingluan Academy want to openly ignore Yun Qin's laws and meddle in this matter?"

Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi glanced at each other, and each saw a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.

"Do you want to break the rules that have been going on for a long time and completely cross this line?" However, Gao Gongyue's next sentence made the two of them a little worried.

"It is undeniable that there are conventions of the game in this world. ”

The person shrouded in a thick black robe spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, but with a certain unique magnetism, which attracted everyone's hearts to the past: "But for me, there are no rules in this world, only what I think is darkness and light, and I am originally a traitor, a person who has been wanted by Yun Qin for a long time, and I originally came to kill this person who you didn't let him die, but deserved to die." What does this have to do with Qingluan Academy?"

Gao Gongyue's body shook violently, his hair flew back, and one by one he pierced the air like steel needles, and he said in disbelief: "You... Are you the Dark Priestess Mu Xinli?"

The black-robed man nodded, "I heard that your strength can rank among the top three in the entire Donglin Province. ”

Gao Gongyue took a deep breath, the clothes on his body swelled, and his body seemed to swell, and he began to glow, "The royal court worships Ni Henian and is constantly chasing you, if you make a move here now, I'm afraid you may not be able to escape from his hands." ”

"There are some things, don't you worry about doing it?" There were countless rustling sounds under the feet of the man in the black robe, as if there were countless silkworms crawling in the dirt, and at the same time, he glanced at Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi from afar.

Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi didn't know what the dark priest meant, but they suddenly had respect for the invisible dark priest, and the two of them bowed to this person at the same time, and then turned around.

Mu Shenyun's whole body was already soaked with cold sweat, and when he heard Gao Gongyue spit out the word dark priest in his mouth, he had already thought of countless terrifying legends, and there was only fear in his heart.

"Roar!"

Just as Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi turned around, he had already let out a beast-like roar, cold sweat was flying all over his body, and he jumped up violently from the collapse and slammed into a window next to him.

The wounds on his back were all cracked again, and the blood stained the snow-white bandage on his back in an instant.

Gao Gongyue didn't move, because his opponent didn't move either, a huge smell surrounded him, spinning within three feet of him, and the ground under his feet slowly glowed.

"Whoa!"

Mu Shenyun smashed through the window and fell to the ground.

At that moment, there was another sharp pain in his right heel, and a stream of blood flew from his right heel.

Jiang Xiaoyi fell heavily behind him, and he also snorted, but his hands and body were straight, and the long knife in his hand reached Mu Shenyun's heels.

"Yin and Yang people, does your heel hurt?" At this time, Lin Xi's voice also sounded.
