At the entrance of the elixir, a sense of distance rose from the tip of the tongue to the throat, and when it reached the inner mansion, it made Qin Tao feel a deep and distant feeling like he was on the edge of the abyss, and he couldn't help but praise it secretly.

Seeing Qin Tao enjoying the mellow aroma of the wine, Xiao Yi smiled loudly: "How is it, Brother Lu, my wine is good?"

"Haha, good wine!" Qin Tao smacked the remaining liquid in his mouth and praised excitedly.

Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, then filled the wine glass for Qin Tao again, and said at the same time: "Brother Lu, this wine is called 'Quan Ling', and the focus is on this spirit word. ”

"Oh, what is 'spirit'?" Qin Tao asked with interest.

Xiao Yi smiled and didn't say anything, just looked at Qin Tao quietly, which couldn't help but make Qin Tao very strange. And Tang Xuexin on the side was even more nervous, for fear that Qin Tao would have an accident.

Tang Xuexin had also heard a little about this Xiao Yi, but a mysterious cultivator who didn't know the details would always be unsettling.

Suddenly, a feeling of warmth arose in his lower abdomen, and Qin Tao only felt a heat rise in the qi pool, and the calm orb above trembled slightly on its own.

The curious Qin Tao pulled out a trace of soul energy, but the resulting soul power surprised him.

"Brother Xiao, this wine ......" Qin Tao looked at Xiao Yi with a shocked expression and said.

Xiao Yi smiled loudly: "Brother Lu, you must have felt it, yes, this wine can enhance the soul power of cultivators." ”

Even Tang Xuexin was shocked as soon as these words came out, you must know that no matter how perfect an ordinary cultivator's cultivation is, it is impossible for his soul power to surpass the limit of his own level. And the wine called Quanling has the effect of enhancing soul power, which is really incredible.

Feeling the enhancement of his soul power, Qin Tao couldn't help but praise: "It's really worthy of this spiritual word, haha!"

Xiao Yi took a drink and said, "Brother Lu, in fact, the effect of this enhancement is only temporary. ”

"Oh, yes, if it can really be completely enhanced, then it will be. However, this thing is definitely a magic weapon to use in battle. ”

Xiao Yi shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that brewing this kind of wine is a secret technique of the barbarian territory, and the steps are complicated and complicated, and it also requires decades or even hundreds of years of cellaring, so it is not easy to circulate it." ”

Qin Tao took a drink, nodded to Xiao Yi, and said, "Brother Xiao, I just said that you are still serious, come, let's drink again." As he spoke, he picked up the fairy gourd and filled it for Xiao Yi.

Tang Xuexin, who was on the side, hurriedly interjected: "This wine is so precious, you drank it like this?" I think it's better to leave it to Brother Xiao, and it can be counted as a trick in the battle in the future." ”

Hearing this, Qin Tao slapped his head suddenly, and immediately said, "Oh, Xue Xin is right, Brother Xiao, how can you let me waste such a treasure here." ”

Xiao Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Brother Lu and sister-in-law, you just don't treat Xiao Yi as a friend when you say that." Although Xiao loves wine, he also loves to make friends, even if it is a heavenly jade dew elixir, if he can't share it with his friends, it will be tasteless!"

The rhetoric was impassioned, without any sense of hypocrisy. Qin Tao drank all the wine in the cup and smiled loudly: "Okay! Brother Xiao is really a bold person, then you're not welcome to be here today, let's get drunk and rest!"

Xiao Yi also laughed loudly, raised his wine glass and said, "Dry!"

When it was said that the wine banquet was over, Qin Tao and Xiao Yi both had ruddy faces and were full of wine. Seeing the two of them like this, Tang Xuexin ordered the attendants to send the two to rest, but Xiao Yi insisted on leaving.

couldn't stubbornly resist Xiao Yi, so Qin Tao and Tang Xuexin had no choice but to let Xiao Yi leave alone. After Xiao Yi left, Qin Tao, who was drunk, was sleepy, and walked into the house with Tang Xuexin's support.

Taking care of Qin Tao to sleep, Tang Xuexin glanced at the dark sky, so she left the room with Dongdong in her arms. In the silent room, only Qin Tao and his heavy snoring were left.

On the third pole of the moon, the whole mansion fell into silence, everyone had fallen asleep, and only the squeaky insects could be heard under the tree in the corner.

Suddenly, several vigorous black shadows appeared outside Qin Tao's house. However, these people didn't seem to be afraid of anything, and they all appeared with soul shields and rushed into the house like lightning.

The room was still snoring, and the dark shadow in the excitement rushed in without hesitation, but they didn't expect that they would be greeted by a man in a blue robe.

Several people were taken aback, they had never heard that Qin Tao had a guard, nor had they ever thought that there was a powerful cultivator in the house.

The cool breeze from the opening of the door and window lifted a strand of hair from the man's forehead, and the man stood quietly in front of the bed, his cold eyes staring at the intruding assassin.

Since the black shadow came, he didn't look back, even in the face of powerful cultivators, they would not be afraid. Before they came, they had already understood that assassinating Qin Tao was by no means an easy task.

"It is really beyond the audacity of a rabble to dare to assassinate in the middle of the night. The man said coldly.

One of the assassins at the head glared at the man, and a hoarse voice came out of his throat: "We are here to kill Lu Tao, you better not interfere." ”

The Assassin knew that the man in front of him was not an idle man, so there was a slight relief in his words. But the man didn't eat him, because he had a mission, and the task was to protect Qin Tao.

Seeing that the man didn't move at all, and Qin Tao on the bed was snoring again, the assassins couldn't bear it anymore, after all, the assassination must not be delayed, otherwise there will be many dreams at night.

Suddenly, the assassin led by him let out a low shout, and then the black shadows rushed towards the man in the green shirt with all their might.

The man snorted coldly, staring at the rushing people with a pair of cold eyes and disdain, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed like lightning at this moment.

As the sword was unsheathed, a hint of horror appeared in the eyes of each assassin, and the word "Soul Venerable" appeared clearly in their minds, making them shudder.

However, none of the Assassins saw the sword. The moment the sword was unsheathed, the lightning-bolt blade slashed the throat of each Assassin with precision, sending them out of this world.

The long sword was fast and accurate, and the soul power flashed away, this strange man in green shirt actually had such terrifying strength.

After solving the assassin, the man in the green shirt turned to face the bed and said coldly to the sleeping Qin Tao: "Get up." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qin Tao on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, smiled at the man, and immediately sat up.

Qin Tao's hippie smile made the coldness on the man's face a little thicker, and he immediately turned around and was about to leave. Qin Tao was startled, hurriedly got out of bed and stopped the man and said, "Wait a minute!"

"Something?" the man asked, raising an eyebrow.

Qin Tao bowed to the man, and then said, "I haven't asked for the surname yet." ”

"You don't know the best. So saying, the man walked forward.

Qin Tao raised his hand and said, "Then can you tell me who sent you here?"

In fact, Qin Tao had already expected that someone would assassinate him, and he pretended to be drunk. But what he didn't expect was that he actually deceived a soul venerable for protection.

Trying to think about all kinds of possible people in his mind, Qin Tao was puzzled. At this time, Tang Xuexin rushed over, and the movement in Qin Tao's house naturally alarmed her. However, after seeing that Qin Tao was unharmed, the girl's heart was also relieved.

Tang Xuexin naturally noticed the man in the green shirt, and couldn't help but let out a soft "huh". And judging from the girl's reaction, Qin Tao concluded that this man was not from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

"Could it be that it was sent by the imperial family?" Qin Tao was puzzled.

Glancing at Tang Xuexin who came over, the man ignored the two and continued to walk outside the house.

"Hey, you haven't told me yet!" Qin Tao shouted.

However, as his voice came out, the man's figure had disappeared in the doorway.

"He's?" asked Tang Xuexin in surprise.

Qin Tao shook his head, still looking at the place where the man disappeared, and said, "I don't know." And I can't figure out who sent him?"

"Could it be that Xiao Yi during the day?" Tang Xuexin asked in a low voice.

Stunned, Qin Tao looked at the girl with a shocked face, and said, "You mean that this man was sent by Brother Xiao to protect me?"

"Well, quite possibly. As far as I know, there is no such young Soul Venerable among the courtiers of the Purple Moon Empire, and our Ten Thousand Demon Sect does not have such a person, I carefully observed Xiao Yi during the day, and I found that his speech and demeanor were by no means as simple as a businessman. ”

Taking a deep breath, Qin Tao closed the door, lit the candle on the table, and then said, "I don't know much about Xiao Yi......

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Qin Tao's mind, and he immediately suddenly said: "By the way, Xiao Yi's subordinates have people wearing such green shirts!"

Qin Tao couldn't help but think of the young man in green shirt he had seen in Yaxianglou.

This makes it even more certain that the person who sent the man must be Xiao Yi. Tang Xuexin said.

"But why does Xiao Yi want to protect me? According to what he said, he only came to Yanjing yesterday. Qin Tao was a little surprised.

Tang Xuexin shook his head: "There is no way to know this, but the only thing that can be determined now is that this Xiao Yi is a friend or an enemy." ”

"Hmm. Brother Xiao said that he would come again tomorrow, and it seemed necessary to ask. ”

"I think it's okay to keep the current state, Xiao Yi didn't say it, naturally he has a reason, let's not be embarrassed for him. ”

Qin Tao felt that Tang Xuexin's words were very reasonable, and even agreed.

The assassination in the middle of the night was finally in danger, and Qin Tao and Tang Xuexin could also go to rest peacefully. But at the moment when Qin Tao got up, Tang Xue suddenly pointed to Qin Tao's forehead and asked in surprise, "Where is your headscarf?"

Touching his hair, Qin Tao smiled at Tang Xuexin: "I haven't worn it since I came back from the ice lake, what's wrong?"

"Now I finally know why Xiao Yi sent someone to secretly protect you......

Qin Tao tilted his neck and looked at Tang Xuexin puzzled, but he didn't notice that something was wrong, so he lazily walked to the bed.

The inexplicable breeze blew at some point, lifting the scattered hair on Qin Tao's forehead, clearly revealing a flame-shaped scar......
