Qianque Mountain belongs to the deep mountains, not too far from the Valley of Forgotten Worries, few people will set foot on weekdays, not to mention that with Xuanxiao's ability, if ordinary people are close, it is impossible for her to not notice.

Therefore, Lan Xinrui believes that the person who harmed Xuanxiao has profound mana and has been planning for a long time. It's just that Xuanxiao has never had a grudge with anyone, and Lan Xinrui can't guess the identity of the other party if it's true, so he decided to go to Gong Yuru to confront and find out the ins and outs of the matter.

When he went out, he saw Yufeng from downstairs casting an inquiring gaze, Lan Xinrui paced downstairs, sat on the other side of the wooden table, and told him: "Xuanxiao was killed by a female cadre, Gong Yu is probably the only person who knows, I must confront him face to face, find out the truth of the matter, and give Xuanxiao justice."

Yu Feng thought for a moment, and then replied to her, "I'll go with you!"

Lan Xinrui's heart palpitated, but she still refused: "No! The matter of alien insects is by no means Xuanxiao's fault, after all, the number of alien insects is too large, and she alone will never be able to raise so many alien insects. I'm worried that there are still many women like her who have suffered, and the insect tide may only be temporarily suppressed by us, and once we leave, this Rongxi County is very likely to be infested by insects again.

Gong Yu is a mortal, with my cultivation, it is more than enough to deal with him, and the gods can stay in Rongxi County to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"I have verified that Gong Yu's identity is the national teacher of the Yueqiguo, which was destroyed by the Sanssouci three years ago, and since then he has surrendered to the rule of the Sanssouci State and changed his name to Yueqizhou.

Gong Yu was obedient to the Lord of Sanssouci on the surface, but in fact, he secretly cultivated a group of his own counterforces, intending to overthrow the rule of the Lord of Sanssouci and establish himself as the king.

But in my opinion, although Gong Yu has some ability, it is not enough to shake the rule of the Lord of Sanssouci Kingdom, let alone harm Xuanxiao. I'm afraid that there is another hand behind Gong Yu's remnants who is fueling the troubles, and this person is very likely to come from the Heavenly Realm, because the Snow Soul Fruit that Master has raised for tens of thousands of years was stolen a few months ago.

Master once said that the Snow Soul Fruit has the effect of inhibiting human growth. Come to think of it, it is not too difficult for this person to steal the Snow Soul Fruit, and then mix it with auxiliary medicines, and develop a miasma that makes mortals smaller.

If these things are really involved, you go alone to confront Gong Yu, I am afraid that you will fall into the trap of the thief, I will go with you, so I can take care of it. As for the matter of the alien insects, I have already explained that I will not stay in Rongxi County, and presumably, nothing will go wrong."

"Godless?" Lan Xinrui frowned, always feeling that Tenglong was not easy to get along with, and it was really hard to say whether he would really protect Rong Xijun.

"The god of flowers can rest assured, he is not strict, it seems to be a little unkind, but in the face of the great right and wrong, he is not ambiguous at all, and it is only appropriate for him to guard Rongxi County."

Li Wu is very unpopular in the heavenly realm, which may have something to do with his background and angry appearance, but Yufeng never looks at people with color, and trusts him very much.

In this way, Lan Xinrui also nodded in response, it was her dream to be able to help Yu Feng, and now that she was fighting this opportunity, Lan Xinrui was willing to do it.

But for some reason, there was always some anxiety in her heart, Lan Xinrui raised her eyes and looked at the room where Mu Chen was. Seeing that the door was closed, he knew that Mu Chen had protected Xiao Xuan'er well, and he felt that he would be able to return soon, so he didn't greet them, but went out of the inn directly with Yufeng.

———

From the moment the locusts crawled out of Xuanxiao's mouth, Mu Chen turned into a silver ribbon, blinding Xiao Xuan'er's eyes. After returning to the inn, he took her back to his room directly, so as to prevent her from seeing the seriously injured Elder Xuanxiao and adding to her sadness.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan'er was sitting on the edge of the bed, supporting the edge of the bed with her hands, her two little feet swaying back and forth, kicking and hitting the bed to make one "ding dong" sound after another, her eyes were fixed on the closed door, pouting, and not making a sound.

Mu Chen took a plate of osmanthus cake, walked over to her and sat down, personally handed her a piece of osmanthus cake, and said with a smile, "Still angry with me?"

"I didn't, I didn't!" Xiao Xuan'er roared, hugged her arms fiercely, turned her back and ignored him.

Mu Chen put the osmanthus cake back on the plate, put it on the wooden cabinet on the side, and got up,

sat down in front of her.

Xiao Xuan'er was still angry because her brother blindfolded herself and didn't let herself go to see Elder Xuanxiao's affairs, and when she saw her brother sitting over, she snorted coldly and turned her head to the other side.

"Little Xuan'er?" Mu Chen called her, but she ignored it, so she had to get up again and sit in front of her.

I didn't think that this little girl was really angry, so she turned directly to face the wall, and then hugged her knees with her hands, her chin rested on her knees, and she pursed her lips and sulked.

Mu Chen hooked his lips, wrapped his right hand around her knees, and wrapped his left hand around her back, just like that, he brought her to his lap and made her face him.

"Xiao Xuan'er can be angry, but she can't ignore her brother, in this way, her brother will be sad." As he spoke, he deliberately sniffed again, and made a posture of wanting to cry.

Xiao Xuan'er was really deceived, raised her head, held her brother's cheek with both hands, rubbed his forehead with her own forehead, and said, "Brother, don't be sad, Xiao Xuan'er didn't ignore her brother!"

"Really?"

"Hmm!" Xiao Xuan'er answered, suddenly let go of his cheeks, lowered her head, and muttered, "Brother, I regret it!"

"Regret what?"

"I shouldn't be gluttonous, I ate the Snow Soul Fruit planted by Grandpa Emperor, I maybe, I won't grow anymore."

"If you don't grow up, you won't grow up, how good is this, my brother can always hold you, guard you, and protect you for a lifetime."

"But...... I don't want to be protected all the time, I want to grow up, I want to be strong, I want to protect the people I love with my own skills. I also want to protect you, my aunt and Brother Yufeng, and I also want to be like my aunt, to protect the people of Forget Worry Valley, and to protect the people of the world like Brother Yufeng."

"Okay, my little Xuan'er is the best, my brother is waiting for the day when you protect me!" Mu Chen rubbed her forehead again, carried her to the bed and lay down, and said while covering her with a quilt, "You go to bed obediently first, and when you wake up, tomorrow will be another day of growth."

Xiao Xuan'er held his big hand, blinked her eyes and asked, "Brother, can I really grow up?"

"Of course! As long as Xiao Xuan'er wants to grow up, my brother will definitely find a way to let you grow up." Mu Chen smiled, very doting.

In Mu Chen's eyes, no matter what Xiao Xuan'er looks like, she is his most beloved sister, so it really doesn't matter if Xiao Xuan'er can grow up or not. He doesn't need Xiao Xuan'er's protection, he just hopes that he can always accompany her and guard her unique innocence and kindness.

"Brother, I can't sleep, I have to listen to the sound of your flute to fall asleep."

The little hand grabbed his brother's index finger and shook it coquettishly, shaking Mu Chen's heart to melt.

"Okay~" Mu Chen took her little hand off her index finger, held it in her hand and rubbed it, and then held Yu Xiao in her hand, her eyes were gentle, and she smiled and blew Xiao for her.

At the beginning of the song, the tone is gentle, like a breeze, making the lotus leaves sway, driving the morning dew in the leaves to swing around, dripping into the water, and creating a layer of small ripples. In the song, the tone grows longer, like spring rain tapping on the window lattice, fluttering and sprinkling, full of ears. At the end of the song, the tone is raised, like a pearl dripping on a jade plate, the sound is crisp, and the aftersound is lingering.

"Brother is so powerful, I still have to listen!" After listening to a song, Xiao Xuan'er still didn't feel sleepy, so she clapped her little hands happily and called her brother to play another song.

Mu Chen wanted to respond with a full mouth, but suddenly smelled a different fragrance, and hurriedly lifted the quilt and tried to pick up Xiao Xuan'er. However, his arm passed through the back of Xiao Xuan'er's neck, but he couldn't use his strength, Mu Chen knew that something was wrong, and reminded: "Xiao Xuan'er, get up quickly, go to my aunt and Yufeng!"

"Brother, are you sleepy?" Xiao Xuan'er got up from the bed, saw her brother's eyes narrowed slightly, and her body swayed, thinking that he was going to sleep, so she moved in, and then patted the position next to her and said, "Brother sleeps here!"

"Xiao Xuan'er, let's go, let's go!" Mu Chen got up and tried to drag her again, but his hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't use any strength, and finally collapsed directly on the bed, fainting unwillingly.

"Brother, brother?"

Xiao Xuan'er pushed her brother's arm, but her brother didn't respond, so she had to get up, put the futon on her brother, and then slipped out of bed and took it off for her brother

Shoes and socks, it took a lot of effort to put his legs and feet on the bed and hide them under the futon. z.br>

Patting the futon, she said, "Brother, sleep in peace! Xiao Xuan'er will go to find her aunt and brother Yufeng."

When he turned around, he saw that the door was pushed open, and the person who came held a large handful of candy with a smile on his face, it was Zigong.

Thinking of her aunt and brother's explanation, Xiao Xuan'er subconsciously took two steps back, sat down on the bed, and stared at him cautiously.

"Sister Xuan'er, Brother Zigong bought a lot of candy, can we eat together?" Zigong held the colorful candy in front of Xiao Xuan'er and tempted her.

Xiao Xuan'er shook her head: "My brother said that you can't eat candy before going to bed, otherwise, there will be small worms in your teeth."

"Don't be afraid, eat one that won't grow worms." Zigong seduced again.

"Don't! My brother doesn't like disobedient children."

"My brother is asleep, he won't know." Zigong stuffed the candy into her hand, but Xiao Xuan'er waved her little hand and knocked a few of them off, shouting, "Don't, I don't want it!"

Zigong lost his patience, angrily smashed the candy to the ground, personally peeled off the last candy in his hand, and approached Xiao Xuan'er step by step.

Xiao Xuan'er was so anxious that she wanted to cry, grabbed the futon and shook it desperately, shouting, "Brother, don't sleep, get up, get up!"

"It's useless, he fell for the "soft spirit powder" given by the master, and he won't wake up for a while, if you eat this candy obediently, I'll let your brother go, otherwise!" He threw the peeled candy on the bed, took out a dagger from his sleeve, pulled out the blade, and deliberately shook it in front of Xiao Xuan'er.

"Don't hurt my brother, I'll just eat it." Xiao Xuan'er stopped in front of her brother, picked up the candy and stuffed it into her mouth, and said in a panic in her heart, "Brother Zigong, don't mess around, my aunt and Brother Yufeng are amazing, if you mess around, they will kill you." If you can stop in time, I can assure you that I will never tell them about it."

"Sister Xuan'er is really warm-hearted! It's a pity that your aunt and brother Yufeng have gone to Lingqi Prefecture to look for my master, and they will definitely not come back for a while, so don't expect them to save you."

He stared at Xiao Xuan'er, silently calculating the time when the soft spirit pill would take effect, but Xiao Xuan'er never showed signs of falling, Zigong had to temporarily give up the idea of killing Mu Chen and threatening, "You leave with me now, otherwise, I will kill your brother."

Xiao Xuan'er called her brother a few times again, but her brother never woke up, so he had to cry and compromise: "I promise you, as long as you don't hurt my brother, I can promise you anything."
