After separating from the Shadow Tiger, it took Dugu Yi and Caiyu a month to get out of the forest, and it took so much time because not only did they not have a map but they were also familiar with the terrain, and the path into the forest had already been flooded by the growing plant thorns; although Caiyu could fly into the air to see the way, she was also afraid of being separated so much that she didn't dare to go too far away from Dugu Yi every time.

Qiyuan City, after two years of absence, Dugu Yi once again walked into this city that only took one day but left a scar in his heart.

Although Dugu Yi has not been in contact with humans for two years, he did not feel any discomfort walking in the crowd at this time, and he ignored the strange eyes attracted by the extremely ill-fitting clothes on his body, but although he didn't care about the eyes of others, Dugu Yi didn't want to wear the clothes of two years ago all the time, so the first thing he did after entering the city was to buy clothes.

When Dugu Yi came out of the clothing store, the sloppy boy also turned into a handsome beautiful boy, dressed in black and his cold face couldn't be more suitable, coupled with an eye patch, his whole body exuded indifference, but even so, someone still 'found' him.

"Let's find an inn to stay in first. Dugu Yi looked up at the sky dyed red by the setting sun.

"Ah......h

A young woman of twenty-three or fourteen fell in front of Dugu Yi, who was about to collide with Dugu Yi head-on, but Dugu Yi dodged at the last moment.

When Dugu Yi hesitated to help her, the woman spoke first: "Won't you help me?"

Dugu Yi looked down at the woman's white arm raised in the air, and finally chose to reach out and pull her up.

"Thank you!" The woman grabbed Dugu Yi and stood up, and smiled: "My name is Caiyi, what about you?"

"Caiyi?" Dugu Yi frowned deeply when he heard the woman's name, and at the same time turned his head to look at Caiyu on his shoulder, and remembered Yiqian, who entered the city with him two years ago.

"What's your name?" Caiyi asked again.

"Lonely and Alone. Dugu Yi, who had not yet recovered his mind, casually told Caiyi his name.

"What a fancy name. Caiyi's eyes moved to Dugu Yi's hand while admiring, and when she saw the ring on her left finger, a strange light flashed in her eyes that was not easy to be noticed.

Hearing Caiyi's voice again, Dugu Yi came back to his senses, said 'goodbye' lightly and turned to leave.

"You just came to this city, right?" Cai Yi caught up with Dugu Yi, and without waiting for him to answer, he continued: "I am very familiar with this city, and I can show you the way wherever you want to go." ”

"No, you don't. Dugu Yi shook his head and rejected Caiyi. Because of the incident between Xue'er and Yiqian, he no longer dared to get close to anyone, of course, there was one person who was not listed, because that person probably knew very well what the 'curse' was all about.

"You don't suspect that I have other plans, right?" Caiyi looked at Dugu Yi aggrievedly.

"Don't follow me anymore. Dugu Yi finally glanced at it coldly, and Caiyi sped up his pace.

was rejected one after another, Cai Yi did not immediately chase Dugu Yi, and after looking back at the pedestrians around her, her eyes fell tightly on Dugu Yi's back, judging from the clenched pink fist, she must have made up some kind of determination.

Cai Yi didn't catch up again, and Dugu Yi was relieved, he was really not good at communicating with people, not only because he had lived in seclusion in the forest without anyone for two years, but also because in the past fifteen years, at least ten of them have been alone, how could such a Dugu Yi have a good conversation with a passerby.

"This son, please inside. ”

Dugu Yi stopped in front of an inn, and the guy ran out diligently, pointed to the inn and said: "Whether it is the wine, food, food or room environment, this store is the best ...... in the city."

Dugu Yi didn't listen to the guy's boastful words anymore, and raised his feet to take a step, and the guy stopped boasting and respectfully beckoned Dugu Yi into the store.

"I want a room and a few side dishes. ”

The villain will take you to your room first, and the food will be delivered later. The man bowed down and led the way.

Dugu Yi didn't say much, and followed the guy to the second floor. Although the room is not luxurious, it is also clean and tidy, which is a gorgeous residence for Dugu Yi, who has lived in a wooden house for two years.

After entering the room, Dugu Yi did not meditate and cultivate, nor did he lie down to rest, but sat by the window and looked at the pedestrians on the street.

Emptiness and strangeness crept into Dugu Yi's heart at this time, as if he did not belong to this world, had no connection with it, and could not integrate into it.

'What connects me to the world?' Dugu Yi asked himself in his heart, and then, he thought of Qin Qin, Xue'er, and the enemy who killed his father, but all three of them were nowhere to be found now. Although he returned to human society, Dugu Yi still did not find a sense of belonging, he only felt that he was an outsider, and this bureau was this world.

"Knock!" there was a soft knock on the door.

Dugu Yi thought it was the guy who delivered the food, so he casually responded: "Come in." ”

The ......door was pushed open, but it was not the person Dugu Yi imagined who came in.

"Is that you?" Dugu Yi looked at Caiyi who pushed the door in surprise.

"Who do you think it is?" Cai Yi smiled as she walked into the room, closing the door with her hand.

Dugu Yi didn't plan to dwell on this issue, so he asked directly, "What are you looking for me?"

"Hehe!" Cai Yi smiled faintly, and then, her expression became serious, and she said coldly: "Looking for you, just to get back a few samples of things that don't belong to you." ”

Dugu Yi looked at Caiyi in confusion, and he was also thinking about what else he was carrying, what could make this woman he had just met come to the door.

"Storage rings. Caiyi reminded Dugu Yi and at the same time, her eyes also moved to Dugu Yi's left hand.

Dugu Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then became vigilant. "Who are you?"

Cai Yi took a deep look at Dugu Yi, and said with emotion: "We were sent out two years ago, and nearly a thousand people have been looking for your whereabouts in this remote south since then, and you disappeared after appearing once in this Lacquered City;

"You were looking for me two years ago?" Dugu Yi muttered in his heart, and then asked again vigilantly, "Who are you?"

Cai Yi shook her head lightly and asked, "Can't you guess it?" Or is there anyone else in this world who knows that you have such a precious thing as a storage ring on your teenage boys? ”

After Caiyi's mention, Dugu Yi instantly thought of Qin Qin, so he hurriedly asked, "Qin Qin asked you to come, where is she?"

Cai Yi ignored Dugu Yi's shock and questions, and said lightly: "You just need to return the things, Miss Qin Qin is not something you can see if you want to see it." ”

A trace of hesitation flashed in Dugu Yi's mind, but after hearing Caiyi's words, he completely dispelled it, looked Caiyi up and down, and said, "You weren't sent by Qin Qin." ”

"How can you be sure?"

"Because I had an agreement with her. Dugu Yi said firmly.

Seeing the firmness on Dugu Yi's face, Caiyi shook her head helplessly and said, "Do you want me to take it by force?"

As soon as the words fell, Caiyi pulled out a soft sword from her waist and stabbed at Dugu Yi.

"A first-class martial artist?"

As soon as Cai Yi made a move, Dugu Yi saw her martial rank, although she was one level lower than him, she didn't dare to slack off, and took out the heavy sword used in Duolong City from the storage ring and blocked it on her chest.

"Ding!" The soft sword stabbed into the body of the heavy sword, and did not stop, and the tip of the sword slid along the heavy sword towards Dugu Yi's throat.

"Whew!" Dugu Yi turned his head to dodge and threw a punch at Caiyi's abdomen.

Caiyi also dared to take it hard, and stepped back on her toes.

Because the other party was from the Qin family, in order not to cause trouble to Qin Qin, Dugu Yi didn't dare to make a dead move, so Cai Yi retreated and he didn't pursue him.

Cai Yi retreated to the back of the door, looked at Dugu Yi and said in horror: "I didn't expect you to be a second-level martial artist at a young age!"

Dugu Yi was silent.

Caiyi also shook her head lightly, and swept towards Dugu Yi again. "You can still survive if you hand over your things now......"

"I will hand it over to Qin Qin with my own hands. Dugu Yi raised his sword high and swung it down heavily when Caiyi was about to get closer.

"When!" Cai Yi did not dodge but raised her sword to block, but she underestimated Dugu Yi's strength, and the soft sword bent down quickly under the pressure of the heavy sword, and as a result, the clenched left fist did not have time to swing out.

At the critical moment of life, Caiyi has no time to sigh at the arrogance of Dugu Yi, a young man.

However, just as the blade of the heavy sword was about to cut into Caiyi's eyebrows, Dugu Yi withdrew the sword. The tip of Dugu Yi's sword pointed at Caiyi's chest, and said lightly, "I have a few questions for you." ”

"I can't answer. Caiyi refused.

Dugu Yi looked at Caiyi for a few seconds, and knew from her face that it was indeed impossible for her to answer any questions, and because of her special status, she couldn't coerce her, so Dugu Yi took the heavy sword back to the storage ring.

"Let's go. ”

"Why don't you kill me?" Caiyi herself didn't think about keeping Dugu Yi's hand, so he withdrew the heavy sword and made her a little stunned.

"I don't want to cause trouble for Qin Qin. ”

"Yes, but I'm not going to give up, and I won't be the only one coming next time. Cai Yi left such words and jumped out of the window.

"You go with her and see where she goes. ”

"Bang bang. Cai Yu screamed and flew out, chasing Cai Yi from a distance according to Dugu Yi's meaning.

Not long after Caiyi left, the innkeeper who delivered the meal came.

"Do you know where the daughter of the city lord who was killed two years ago is buried?"

Before the guy could answer, Dugu Yi threw out a gold coin in his hand. The reason why he returned to Qiyuan City was to say goodbye to Yi Qian, although Yi Qian's death was not all because of him, but he didn't have the face to see Yi Qian's family again, so he could only listen to it from others.

"The daughter of the city lord?" After the guy took the gold coin, he recalled in his mind what Dugu Yi said, and after a while, he realized, "You are talking about Miss Yiqian, right?"

Seeing Dugu Yi nodding, the guy continued: "Miss Yiqian did have an accident two years ago, but she didn't die ......"

"What did you say?" Dugu Yi jumped up from the chair, grabbed the guy's shoulders tightly with both hands, and asked quickly, "Yiqian is still alive, is this true?"

"Please...... Please calm down first...... "The guy didn't answer immediately because of the pain of being caught by Dugu Yi.

Hearing the sound and seeing the guy's blue face again, Dugu Yi also understood that he was too excited, so he let go of the guy. "I'm sorry, please tell me more about her. ”

"Out of the way, out of the way. The man smiled bitterly and waved his hand, then continued: "Although Miss Yiqian is still alive, she has not appeared in the city since that incident. There are rumors that she was sent to practice somewhere by the Situ City Lord, and some people say that she went to the north in search of someone. ”

Hearing this, Dugu Yi waved his hand to signal the guy to leave, and then turned his head to look out the window. North, that is also the direction he is going, Yi Qian left Qiyuan City to find him? In this way, he also had to meet Situ Yunlong.
