Shi Ziling came out of the city guard mansion and did not return to the barracks immediately, but went to Ma Yu's mansion.

When Ma Yu saw Shi Ziling, he grabbed him and looked at him carefully, and said, "Ziling, I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to be a little different." ”

"What's the difference?"

Shi Ziling felt a little strange.

"Maybe I haven't had a good rest these days, don't I look a little tired? ”

Ma Yu shook his head and said, "The first time I saw you was watching you bet against Miss Huang Ying upstairs, there would be a nameless heat emitted from you at that time." When I saw you a few times later, I always felt that your eyes were a little confused, and sometimes I felt that you were a little silly. ”

"When I saw you today, those two feelings seemed to fade a lot, but there was another mysterious feeling that was unpredictable. Tell me honestly, has something happened to you these past few days?"

Shi Ziling was stunned by what he said, secretly thinking that the five days and five nights of retreat and penance not only increased his magic power, but also made his true yuan power and spiritual power more restrained, but he didn't expect to change his temperament a little, it seems that the effect of this set of "Yuan Demon Divine Technique" is still quite good.

Shi Ziling was inconvenient to tell Ma Yu about his magic cultivation, so he just smiled and said: "You can't have learned to look at faces, it's really a set of things, I've always been like this? ”

"I've been practicing at home in retreat for the past few days, and if you've been to the Yu family, you should know the Tao. However, since Nangong Xia's assassination that day, I really haven't slept much, and I'm probably still a little tired, so it will look a little different. ”

Ma Yu fanned the folding fan in his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "You can't fool me, I'm a genius with great scheming! According to my calculations, in the past five or six days, those unpredictable magic techniques you have cultivated must have made a breakthrough again, otherwise how could you suddenly retreat for five days and five nights." ”

"Ziling, I heard some rumors that your cultivation is actually a secret method handed down from the previous Demon Sect, so there are those unpredictable miracles, isn't it?"

Since Shi Ziling had a long talk with Nangong Xia in Deyue Tower that day, he knew that sooner or later the news of his cultivation of the secret method of the Demon Sect would come out, since Nangong Xia could see the origin of his soul dementor, Ye Zhenzhen Duanmu Hong and these people would definitely be able to see some clues.

In addition, when he talked to Nangong Xia that night, Su Fengxian and Miss Yurou were present, Su Fengxian might not reveal her secret, and Miss Yurou would be difficult to say. In a place like Deyue Tower, no matter what the news is, it will spread very quickly.

Shi Ziling said calmly: "I won't tell you, I did learn a mystery passed down by the Demon Sect by chance in the past, but because I am in the Yu family, you know the way, the ancestor of the Yu family was a lay disciple of the Three Qing Sect, and it is not convenient for me to tell them about my learning of the secret method of the Demon Sect, for fear of causing their unhappiness, so I have not told anyone." ”

"Since you've guessed everything, I won't hide it from you, but I still hope you can keep it a secret for me. Although in my opinion, there is no good or evil in martial arts, but after all, there are still many people who think that it is not a good thing to have a relationship with the Demon Sect, so I think it's better not to publicize it. ”

Ma Yu slapped the folding fan in his hand and said, "You finally told me." It was very strange that you won the first time you fought Chen Zhongda, and I already had a little guess in my mind at that time. ”

"Actually, you don't have to worry, now is the era when only strength is respected, anyway, now the Demon Sect and the Three Qing Sect have long been wiped out, even if you practice their martial arts, it doesn't mean anything. ”

"Do you see Li Yuan of the Western Regions, who was originally from the Lingbao Sect, a branch of the Three Qing Sect, and now he is not recruiting the descendants of the original Demon Sect. I heard that the 'Dark Dao' also has a cooperative relationship with Li Yuan, maybe this assassination of Nangong Xia was done by Li Yuan to the killer of the 'Dark Dao'. ”

Shi Ziling smiled and said: "This is not necessarily, the Nangong family dominates the south, and it is estimated that there will be many enemies, I originally suspected that Chen Gongzhao did it." ”

Ma Yu was very smart, and when he heard Shi Ziling's tone, he suddenly sensed something, and said: "I listened to the meaning of your words, as if I knew something." I know that the day before the accident, you made an appointment with Nangong Xia to drink in Deyue Tower, did he tell you something, can you tell me something?"

Shi Ziling thought about it about the Huang Ting faction and Kong Mingzi, it was better not to tell Ma Yu, not because he couldn't believe him, but because it involved the diagram of "Nine Yuan Customs Clearance".

The people involved in this diagram are all powerful characters, although Ma Yu's strength is not weak, and he is smart and witty, but after all, he is far from a master of Nangong Xia's level, and telling him may harm him.

So Shi Ziling said: "Nangong Xia just told me some allusions about the Demon Sect and the Three Qing Sects in the past, as well as some of his previous experiences on the East Fence Island overseas. Don't guess. ”

"Don't look at Nangong Xia's appearance as just a chubby and smiling old man, I think he is actually a very shrewd person. I don't know him well, so how could he tell me any secrets? ”

Ma Yu stretched out the folding fan in his hand, shook it vigorously, and said: "If you don't say it, forget it, anyway, you know me, and when you want to say it, I am welcome at any time." ”

Shi Ziling said: "I know that friends are important in my heart, and in my heart you have always been one of my most trusted friends. By the way, I haven't thanked you for helping me cover up in front of Master Su. ”

Ma Yu said: "This little thing is not enough, it's just a mouthful." I went to Yu's house to look for you that day, and they said that you had gone into retreat without even saying hello, and there was no movement for several days. ”

"I don't think you even greeted the people of the Yu family, let alone the people outside. That's why I helped you tell a lie to Master Su, saying that you had to retreat and heal because you were injured. ”

"How's that, no goofs, right?"

Shi Ziling said gratefully: "Don't worry, although I am not as smart as you, I am not a fool, as soon as I heard what Master Su meant, I understood that you were helping me cover up." Actually, I really didn't think that I would have to retreat for so long, but by the time I woke up, it had already been five days and five nights. ”

Ma Yu smiled: "So you are a monster, otherwise how could your strength be so powerful." I've been wondering, where the hell did you come from, and why didn't anyone tell where you came from?"

Shi Ziling said: "Speaking of which, I also plan to ask you to send someone to help me go to the west to inquire about the news." The first person I met when I woke up after losing my memory had thought I was a subordinate of Tongtian Sect Master Li Yuan, and I had always guessed that maybe I had some connection with someone under Li Yuan. ”

Ma Yu was a little strange and asked, "What do you mean?"

Shi Ziling said: "For example, will there be someone under Li Yuan who looks more like me, or is close to my name, or close to my martial arts path, etc." Anyway, I hope you can send someone over there to inquire about some relevant news, maybe it will be helpful for me to inquire about my background. ”

Ma Yu asked, "Is your amnesia still not getting better?"

"Nope. I felt as if that part of my memory was blocked by some kind of force, so I had to continue to practice the secret method passed down by the Demon Sect, hoping to open the seal of memory in my mind. ”

"I vaguely feel that with the method I have come up with in this retreat, over time, not only will my strength in martial arts be greatly enhanced, but it will also be very helpful to open the seal of memory in my brain and retrieve the lost part of my memory. Shi Ziling said.

Ma Yu didn't understand what Shi Ziling said about the method of opening the memory seal, and he thought it would be a strange martial art after all, but he still promised to send someone to the west to inquire about Shi Ziling's news.

He asked: "Ziling, I just received news that Li Xiaoyao and Nangong Bo made an appointment to fight on the Huiyan Peak of Hengshan on August 15, if my expectations are correct, Nangong Xia should be in a hurry to return to the south." In this way, Lord Su is likely to let you escort him all the way back, what do you think?"

Shi Ziling said helplessly: "What can I think, Master Su said that the safety of Nangong Xia is related to the comfort and well-being of the people in our east and south, of course I have to agree to lead a team to escort Nangong Xia." ”

"It turns out that you have already promised Master Su. However, I always feel that Li Xiaoyao suddenly made an appointment with Nangong Bo this time. Nangong Bo was already the city guard of Narcissus City, so there was no need for him to agree to Li Xiaoyao's challenge. ”

"The two of them are both known as the 'Four Princes of the Family', both have their own prominent family backgrounds, and they have never heard of any special enmity between the two, so why should they duel like ordinary martial arts masters?"

Ma Yu said with some puzzlement.

Shi Ziling didn't care much about this kind of family fight that had nothing to do with him, and said, "Who knows, maybe they are also as aggressive as that beast Chen Zhongda?"

Ma Yu said: "No, there are only a few brutal beasts like Chen Zhongda after all. I suspect that the duel between these two men may be for some kind of gain?"

Shi Ziling couldn't help but move in his heart and asked, "In your opinion, what are they fighting for?"

Ma Yu said: "This is exactly what I am strange about. These two people want to be famous and profitable, they are all descendants of the five great families, and they don't need to strive for the ranking on the list to improve their fame and value like ordinary martial arts masters, because no matter how they fight, their strength and ranking are definitely far from their Lao Tzu. ”

"Then why did they decide on this duel?"

Shi Ziling was silent, secretly thinking that this duel would be related to the diagram of "Nine Yuan Clearance"?

Ma Yu said: "Forget it, leave them alone." If you are sure to escort Nangong Xia to the south, you should be more careful on the way, and there may be assassins again. The killer of the 'Dark Path' is not a joke, even if you are not afraid, but Nangong Xia has not recovered from his serious injuries, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to parry. ”

"If something happens to Nangong Xia on your escort journey, then you will become a sinner in the east, although the Nangong family will be angry with you, and the people in the east will also blame you for not fulfilling your responsibilities. ”

Shi Ziling said: "I understand, but since I have agreed, I am confident that I will guarantee the safety of Nangong Xia." On the contrary, I am worried that after I leave, the Yu family will have no support, Chen Gongzhao will not be able to buy a murder last time, and he will definitely not die, I am afraid that he will be unfavorable to the Yu family. ”

Ma Yu said: "This is also true, but don't worry, I will definitely send more people to protect the Yu family, and I will often go to the Yu family to have a look." ”

Shi Ziling said: "A few days ago, Lord Ling Zunma and I had a very unpleasant quarrel with Chen Gongzhao in the city guard mansion, and Lord Su also saw it in his eyes, and all my colleagues also saw it in his eyes, so I think Chen Gongzhao didn't dare to mess too much." I'm just afraid of what if. ”

Ma Yu smiled: "That's right, I also don't think Chen Gongzhao has the courage to mess around." Your strength is clearly there, isn't he afraid that you will seek revenge on him?"

"I think you're still worried about Nangong Xia's safety. There are quite a few historical sites on the way to the south, and I'm afraid that when you will be stupid and forget your business, it will be fatal. ”

Shi Ziling said with a smile: "When have I forgotten my business? Besides, although Nangong Xia's internal injuries are not yet healed, I heard that his external injuries are healing quite quickly, and he should be able to move around in a few days, with his fame, as long as he can walk, then ordinary people should not dare to provoke him......
