20. Departure

The air was suddenly quiet, and Ye Xiaoxiao asked what everyone was curious about.

The old city lord coughed dryly, his face did not change, and he said in a straight voice: "Qin Lan's father once saved my life, I have been by his side for a while in order to repay his life-saving grace, and today I met the son of the old man again, and I can't help but recognize each other because of my feelings." ”

There was no loophole in the old city lord's words, and everyone present believed it, Qin Lan secretly wiped his sweat, and his heart escaped a catastrophe.

Only the suspicion in Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes did not decrease but increased, as a woman's intuition told her that the truth of the matter was definitely not as simple as the old city lord said!

In the evening, after the old city lord left everyone to eat, he thanked him again, and then broke up and went back to his own home.

After a day of fighting, Commander Lin did not feel very tired at this time, but felt that his heart was unprecedentedly steady and relaxed these days, and he couldn't help humming a little song when he walked on the street.

Hong Fu, who was walking beside him, also whistled, and the evening breeze flowed on the streets, blowing the joy of regaining freedom and revenge.

The whistle blew, and Commander Lin gradually couldn't snort, and said depressedly with a dark face in front: "Lao Hong, did I tell you that your whistle is very ugly?" ”

"No? As soon as I played this little song, everyone who heard it said it was good. ”

Hong Fu's face didn't blush, and he talked eloquently

"The last time I drank with my old buddies, I was happy and whistled back, but those guys didn't drink me in the end and left the table one after another."

"Why?" Commander Lin asked subconsciously.

"What do you say, my little song makes people feel like flowing water, and I want to go to the flow endlessly."

After hearing this, Commander Lin was full of black lines, and he asked this sentence superfluously.

This whistle is so pee!

"Young master, how have you been all these years? What about them, old pavilion masters? ”

Back in the room, the old city lord couldn't help but ask Qin Lan

"My father, he has ...... to protect me"

Qin Lan recalled the tragedy 15 years ago, the sadness and hatred in her eyes couldn't be contained, and the air around her seemed to be a few degrees colder.

"I came to Yanzhou City this time to recover the dragon nail buried in the Fengyun Pavilion outside the city, and the other to come to see you, Uncle Yan, I didn't expect to help you solve some trouble."

Speaking of this, Qin Lan's face looked a little better

"It's good that you're fine, and there aren't many people I can trust in this world now......"

The old city lord also fell into the memory, and said regretfully: "How amazing and gorgeous the Fengyun Pavilion Lord was back then! No one has reached the Five Halls to suddenly unite to deal with Fengyun Pavilion. ”

"Young Master, do you want to rebuild Fengyun Pavilion?"

The old city lord suddenly said: "Your father once mentioned this matter to me, and left a secret chess move for you!" ”

Qin Lan's expression was shocked, the light in his eyes flashed wildly, stabilized his emotions, and said, "Please Yan Boming speak"

Rebuilding Fengyun Pavilion and taking revenge on the Five Palaces can be said to be the only motivation that has supported him over the years, but he didn't expect that this trip to Yanzhou would have a shortcut to achieve his goal, how could Qin Lan not like it?

The old city lord sorted out his thoughts for a moment and said slowly: "The pavilion master and I mentioned this matter, each generation of the pavilion master of Fengyun Pavilion will have its own 'group', and your father's 'group' is called the 'Twelve Earth Branches'. ”

"Twelve Earthly Branches!?"

Qin Lan's heart trembled, this word seemed to have been said by his father when he was young, and he subconsciously asked

"Are they all still there?"

"In!"

The old city lord's tone was very affirmative: "And there are at least six left"

"Young Master, if you can find the remaining twelve earthly branches, it may be much easier for you to do the next."

"But I don't know what they look like, how can I recognize them?"

Qin Lan looked embarrassed and asked the key question.

"By this"

The old city lord threw the Fengyun Order that Ye Xiaoxiao had handed him to Qin Lan before

"The Fengyun Order in your hand is the 'Mother Order', and when someone nearby appears in the 'Child Order', it will react. Although Fengyun Pavilion has disappeared, there is still a deterrent, and there are still many sects that will buy Fengyun Ling's face. ”

Qin Lan grabbed Fengyun Ling, and a cold touch came out of the palm of his hand, and there was a burst of heat and nostalgia in his eyes

"This is the important wealth left to you by the Pavilion Master!"

The old city lord sighed, the wind and clouds were ordered, Wanzong surrendered, and the grand occasion of the former Fengyun Pavilion was still vivid after many years.

"When will the young master leave?"

"I'll leave tomorrow"

After a brief loss of consciousness, seeing the resolute light in the young man's eyes, the old city lord smiled with relief.

"Then take care, and don't forget to come back when you have time. If you want, you can always make this your home."

"Good ......"

Qin Lan's nose was sour, and she quickly turned her head away, turned around and walked out of the door, for fear that her tears would fall if she was one step too late.

That would be a shame......

Last night's stars and last night's wind, the west side of the painting building and the east of Guitang

The night was thick and the wind was slightly cold

Qin Lan sat alone on the ridge of the house, looking up at the starry sky.

Over the years, whenever he felt lonely and lonely, he would find a place to do so.

With a heart in his heart, the sound of his feet stepping on the tiles sounded behind him, Qin Lan looked back, Ye Xiaoxiao came with the corner of her skirt and sat next to Qin Lan.

Qin Lan just turned his head and glanced at it, and then continued to look at the stars.

In his 20 years of life so far, loneliness has always been the main theme. He doesn't have any ill feelings towards Ye Xiaoxiao, but he doesn't like her much, just because she is a normal gust of wind in his life, a certain star that he looks up and sees tonight, maybe he won't be able to see it tomorrow night.

Ye Xiaoxiao also learned to look up at the stars like Qin Lan, and after a while, maybe he was tired, he turned his neck slightly, and the green silk hung down like a waterfall, and the beauty was picturesque.

Ye Xiaoxiao turned his face sideways and asked softly, "Why did you save me today?" How dangerous! ”

Qin Lan crossed his legs and held his head with one hand, this was his usual posture when thinking about difficult problems, and after thinking for a long time, he replied sullenly:

"I don't know why, my head is still thinking about countermeasures, but my body has already moved first."

"Oh"

Ye Xiaoxiao played with the ends of the hair in his ears and asked seemingly casually, "When are you going to leave?" ”

"Tomorrow"

Qin Lan's posture remained unchanged, and his answer was a little stiff.

"Where to go?"

"Heavenly Machine City"

The two of you ask, I will answer, the progress of the conversation is very slow, Ye Xiaoxiao is also used to Qin Lan like this, and he doesn't mind that he always has a hot face and a cold ass, so he continued to ask.

If people who love Ye Xiaoxiao see this scene, they have to chase after Qin Lan with a kitchen knife and cut it

I really live in happiness and don't know how to be blessed, and I don't know what to do!

Ye Xiaoxiao's jade hand fiddled with the hem of her skirt, biting her lip lightly, and her voice seemed a little nervous

"I'm going to ...... too"

"Huh?"

Qin Lan turned her head when she heard this, and just met Ye Xiaoxiao's jade-like eyes, coughed dryly, hurriedly twisted her head back again, and asked with a little stammer:

"You...... What are you going to do there? ”

Ye Xiaoxiao also lowered his head, not daring to look at Qin Lan, suddenly thinking of the way he threw himself into someone's arms during the day, a red cloud flew over his pretty face, and he replied crisply, "Go find the god operator" and turned down.

"God operator...... It looks like we're going to be walking together again. ”

Qin Lan shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that this time he would go to Tianji City to find the God Operator, and it seemed that he would not be able to get rid of her in a short time.

The key is that this girl is always asking questions about herself, trying to show her identity.

What a headache!

Taishen Mountain, Taishen Temple

The two old men in red sat opposite each other, listening to the reports of the people below about the situation in Yanzhou City.

"What!? All the people sent by my temple are dead!? ”

One of them slapped the table and jumped to his feet, his eyes full of disbelief.

The other was much calmer, his eyes lowered, and there was no trace of emotion in his voice

"Do you know where the other party came from?"

The person below replied: "I know that there is Ye Xiaoxiao from the Tsing Yi Pavilion, but she went to treat the old city lord, and it was a young man next to her who really killed people." It's called Qin Lan, in the middle of the seventh grade. ”

What!? Mid-Seventh Grade!?

This time, both of them couldn't sit still, and they looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

"When did the Great Xia Dynasty have such a demon?"

The old man in red on the left took a hard breath and muttered.

"It's not on the Tianji list, maybe it's a newcomer, a fledgling, but I don't know which sect it is, and I dare to kill the god son of my Tai God Temple!"

"Hall Master, the Heavenly Machine List has been updated."

Another man came quickly from outside, holding a dossier in his hand.

These two old men in red are the two deputy hall masters of the Tai God Temple!

Turning over the list of heavenly machines, a name jumped into the eyes of the two hall masters:

Tianji combat power list, 25th, Qin Lan, record: double kill two Taishen Temple gods

Tianji Tianjiao List, No. 36, Qin Lan, the specific strength is unknown

"Humph!"

The red-clothed hall lord on the left snorted coldly in his nose, and his face was very ugly

"Isn't the Heavenly Machine List slapping me in the face of the Tai Temple?"

"Okay, okay"

The red-clothed hall lord on the right waved his hand and comforted: "Our skills are not as good as others, we have been killed, there is nothing to be angry about, and now I am more concerned about another thing......"

The red-clothed hall lord on the left narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes shone brightly

"Do you doubt that this Qin Lan will have something to do with Fengyun Pavilion?"

The person on the right nodded solemnly, with a hint of greed in his eyes, and instructed the people below:

"Go and send someone to investigate the identity and background of this person named Qin Lan!"

This time, we can't let the other four halls get involved!

"You're really not staying?"

Commander Lin leaned against the door frame and squinted at Hong Fu

"I can't stand the rules and regulations of your army, my life has been in a hurry for decades, and I've been abandoned for three years, why don't you hurry up and go out for a walk?"

Hong Fu turned over and got on his horse, with a smile in his eyes, Commander Lin mentioned this to him last night, he refused without thinking about it, and now Commander Lin mentioned it again, and it can be seen that Commander Lin is really befriending him.

"Stinky boy, I'll go first, although I don't know what you're going to do, it's not easy to see the stance."

Hong Fu turned to look at Qin Lan, his tone was stunned, his expression became serious, and he instructed:

"Anyway, take care of yourself, the most important thing is to live, you know?"

"Good"

Qin Lan nodded slightly, bowed down and said, "Uncle Hong, you also take care, see you again!" ”

"Hahaha, goodbye!"

Hong Fu smiled heartily and rode away

Qin Lan turned around and thanked the old city lord again, and also stepped on his horse sideways, and said to Ye Xiaoxiao:

"Let's go, go to Tianji City!"
