When the night was almost unbearable, Lian Zixin got up and left.

However, before leaving, she kept telling her to pay attention to her body at night and not to be too tired.

As soon as Lian Zixin left the room, the smiling face of the night disappeared immediately, and was replaced by indifference. If it was normal times, she would still be in a little mood to deal with this aunt, but now she really doesn't have such a mood.

If it weren't for her mother's face, she wouldn't even let this so-called aunt enter the door of the room. Obviously, she felt that her attitude had been shown to be clear, and she didn't want to be close to this aunt. However, the other party seems to have noticed nothing, and has always been very affectionate to her.

Sometimes, she wonders if her aunt is so good to her for the sake of doing any good to her children. But in front of her, she rarely heard the other party mention the pair of children.

Therefore, she couldn't figure out what this aunt was trying to do with her.

On the other side, after Lian Zixin left the courtyard at night, after going to see Lian Mengzhu again, he went home with a lot of things.

In the Huangfu family——

Ye Leng'an and Huangfu Ruiling haven't gone out for several days.

Previously, they had planned to spend a day fusing the fragments of Shennong Ding into the main body again. It's just that, unexpectedly, things didn't go so smoothly.

I don't know if it's because the fragment has been away from the body for too long, or because the body has already recognized the Lord, it will actually reject the fragment. This also led to the fact that the whole process of integration was not smooth. However, fortunately, because Huangfu Ruiling was experienced in refining weapons, he finally fused, but it took a lot longer than expected.

Holding a delicate small medicine pod in his hand, Ye Leng'an's face was full of smiles.

At this moment, the small medicine tripod in her hand has completely lost its gray appearance, the tripod body is jet black, the three legs are up, and the tripod mouth derives two ears. On the pitch-black Ding Wall, there are all kinds of ancient and mysterious creatures, there are strange-looking three-legged birds, thick coiled hideous ancient vines, strange and blooming magical flowers, complex and born, small Ding body, all-encompassing, endless, as if there is an endless meaning.

Before the main body was revealed, it exuded an ancient and mysterious aura. However, if someone else sees it, they will definitely not recognize Shennongding. At this moment, when Shennong Ding and at the auction, it was like two Dings. Even if an alchemist like Ye Hongxuan was present, he would definitely not recognize it.

With a backhand turn, the Shennong Ding in Ye Leng'an's hand disappeared, she happily stepped forward, held Huangfu Ruiling's hand, and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner!" ”

Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Huangfu Ruiling couldn't help but laugh, he stretched out his hand, nodded Ye Leng'an's pretty nose, and said, "Oh, then do you have spirit coins on you?" ”

One sentence directly made Ye Leng'an stunned in place, but she immediately returned to normal, still smiling, "I only said that I had a treat, but I didn't say that I would pay!" Besides, as my fiancé, is it possible that you want to let your fiancée pay? ”

"Okay." Huangfu Ruiling shook his head amusedly, his eyes were full of tenderness, "I listen to you." ”

The two of them held hands and went out.

It's just that when they were in the hallway, they met an acquaintance. Of course, it's just that they recognized each other, and the other didn't recognize them. This person is none other than Huangfu Ruixiang.

Huangfu Ruixiang was following a child of the Huangfu family into the door. It's not the first time he's come to the Huangfu family in the hidden world, it's just that in the past, he stayed in the outer gate, and rarely had the opportunity to enter the family.

However, every time he entered his family, he couldn't help but sigh. Unlike the rest of the world, all of them here are strong. Moreover, in the world here, as long as it is strong enough, the lifespan can be continuously extended.

There is no one who does not want to stay here in the hidden world, and he is no exception. It's just that he knows his strength very well, and he also knows that this may be very difficult. However, even so, he still has to work hard and perform well in this family competition. Only in this way can he be favored by the family and thus be able to stay.

Just as he was walking in with the disciples of the family, he saw two people walking towards him.

Although both of them are wearing masks, it can be seen that the man is tall and tall, and the woman has bright eyes and teeth, graceful and graceful. When two people walk together, it is a match made in heaven, a pair of talented men and women.

It's just that he doesn't know why, he always feels that the two people in front of him look really familiar. It's just that before he could think about it, he saw the kid who came in with him, and immediately pulled him aside, and then lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at the two people in front of him.

It's just that the man and woman didn't even look at them, and walked straight over.

When the two of them finally left, Huangfu Ruixiang immediately looked at the disciples in front of him and said, "This senior brother, who are those two people just now?" ”

When the disciples of this family brought him in, their attitude was very arrogant, and when they faced him, they also loved to ignore him. He wasn't feeling well, but he couldn't say anything. After all, even if he was just an ordinary disciple in the family, he was not comparable to him, an outer disciple of the mortal world.

However, he saw that the disciple who had been arrogant to him just now was so respectful to the young man and woman. It can be seen that the status of these two people in the family is definitely not low.

"What nonsense!" After the disciple scolded Huangfu Ruixiang in a low voice, he spoke, "That's the head of our Huangfu family, and his fiancée, Miss Ye. They're not something you or I can talk about. ”

"The head of the house?" Huangfu Ruixiang's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief, "So young." ”

He hadn't even been to his own house a few times, so naturally it was impossible for him to meet the head of the house. In his imagination, the head of the family must be not too old. I didn't expect that this person, who seemed not much older than him, was actually the head of his family.

"Don't you know about our master?" The disciple couldn't help frowning, "Our family master is already very young, and he hasn't been on the throne for a long time, but under his leadership, our family is not known how many times stronger than before. ”

When he spoke, his tone was full of adoration and pride.

Huangfu Ruixiang was secretly frightened and didn't say anything more. As for the familiarity just now, he only felt that it was just an illusion. The head of the family, how could he know it!

In a special restaurant in the hidden world, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an sat opposite each other.

At this time, the place where the two of them sat was a table on the side of the lobby, and they came relatively late, and there was no private room anymore, so they could only sit in the lobby. None of them mind that.

After ordering the food, Ye Leng'an looked at Huangfu Ruiling opposite, and said with a smile, "Aren't you going to say anything?" ”

"Huh?" Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Leng'an with a hint of doubt.

"Huangfu Ruixiang!" Ye Leng'an said directly, "I didn't expect that he also came to the hidden world." It's still been a while before the family Dabi, and he's coming quite early this time! ”

"Of course he's going to come early." Huangfu Ruiling's tone did not fluctuate without any fluctuations, "This time the family is big, but it is related to his future. In the previous family competition, he was not even qualified to participate. So, this time, it is natural to seize the opportunity. ”

"Wasn't that the case in the past?" Ye Leng'an was a little surprised, "I thought they were all free to sign up!" ”

"Of course not." Huangfu Ruiling shook his head amusedly, "If that's the case, I don't know how long it will take!" Although only those big families are eligible to participate in this family competition, but even so, I don't know how many people these big families add up. If you participate in all of them, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it in a month! ”

"So, there is a prescribed age and cultivation. This is all for the purpose of training young disciples, so those senior disciples will not be allowed to get involved. ”

Ye Leng calmed down, nodded, and continued to speak, "Then after this time is over, do you plan to let Huangfu Ruixiang stay?" ”

I've heard it before, although Huangfu Ruixiang has a bit of talent, in the mortal world, it can be said to be very good. However, here in the hidden world, it can be regarded as an ordinary existence.

However, whether to let Huangfu Ruixiang stay, the final decision is still in the hands of Huangfu Ruiling. As long as Huangfu Ruiling decides to let Huangfu Ruixiang stay, then even if Huangfu Ruixiang's talent is very ordinary, he can stay.

"Let him stay!" Huangfu Ruiling replied lightly, "It can be regarded as giving him a chance." However, I can only give him a chance to stay, and as for the future, I will not care about it anymore. ”

He is willing to give this opportunity, also for the sake of the two of them still being related by blood. However, this blood relationship can only allow him to do this. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with him.

"Alas-" After hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an was not surprised, she sighed and said, "Then Li Yiran doesn't know what to do. She's still pregnant! If you want to see the child's father in the future, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”

Having said this, there was no trace of pity on her face, but a little indifference.

"No," Huangfu Ruiling shook his head, "According to Huangfu Ruixiang's talent, although he can stay, he should have to go back for a year and a half at most." He couldn't stay here in the Hidden World forever. ”

Ye Leng was calm and nodded.

Just as the two were talking, a hesitant voice sounded.

"Miss Night, is that you?"

The two of them followed the sound and saw an acquaintance approaching them. This person is none other than Nangong Xuyao. The two looked at each other and said nothing.

Nangong Xuyao hesitated, but still approached the two. However, because he didn't recognize Huangfu Ruiling, he didn't even know the true identity of Leng An Ye. He had only met once in the herb shop before, and he only knew that the other party's surname was Ye.

Ye Leng'an raised his eyebrows, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face at the right time, "Are you-"

"Miss Night probably forgot that we met at the herb shop before." Nangong Xuyao also knew that the other party had probably forgotten himself, so he opened his mouth to explain, "I was with Zhong Yujiarui at that time. ”

After hearing Nangong Xuyao's words, Ye Leng'an looked suddenly enlightened, "It turned out to be you!" What's the matter? Shouldn't it be for Zhong Yujiarui, who wants to take revenge! ”

She didn't think that Nangong Xuyao recognized her true identity. Just like Huangfu Ruiling said, even if someone recognizes it, it is impossible to be sure. As long as they don't admit it, no one cares who they are.

Huangfu Ruiling on the side had an indifferent look in his eyes, and when he looked at Nangong Xuyao, there was even a hint of chill in his eyes.

Nangong Xuyao originally looked at Huangfu Ruiling with some curiosity, but when he noticed the other party's eyes, he couldn't help but shudder, and then immediately withdrew his gaze.

He didn't know the man, but he sensed danger in him.

"No," Nangong Xuyao hurriedly said, "I'm not, I just want to ask Miss Ye about something." ”

In fact, before, he wanted to find a chance to ask this Miss Night. It's just that at that time, this night lady and Zhong Yujiarui had a conflict, and finally broke up unhappily. It is impossible for him to leave Zhong Yujiarui to chase Miss Night, so that he will really give up his previous efforts.

He also thought about going to the Huangfu family to find someone, but this night lady seemed to have a good status in the Huangfu family. If he rushes to find someone, he is afraid that he will not even be able to enter the door.

Originally, he was already planning to give up, but he didn't expect that when he went out for a meal today, he met someone. So he must have seized the opportunity to go up and ask what he wanted to know.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Ye Leng'an put one hand on his cheek and looked at Nangong Xuyao, "If I'm not mistaken, we should have only met once, and we didn't even say anything before!" ”

She didn't think that Nangong Xuyao recognized her. If you really recognize her, you will definitely recognize Huangfu Ruiling. If this is really the case, then Nangong Xuyao can't be so calm.

"Miss Night, I want to ask you about the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill." Nangong Xuyao said directly, "May I ask if you have saved anyone with the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill?" ”

After hearing Nangong Xuyao's words, Ye Leng was stunned for a moment, and she immediately remembered that before, in order to save Nangong Xuyao, who was dying, she had used a Nine-Turn Soul Restoration Pill. But at that time, Nangong Xuyao was not aware at all. Could it be that what does he remember now?

Huangfu Ruiling on the side originally didn't care about Nangong Xuyao's arrival at all. However, when he heard Nangong Xuyao mention the life-saving grace again, he couldn't help frowning.

Although his heart has turned a thousand times, Ye Leng'an's face is still a light cloud, "What do you mean?" Does this have anything to do with you? ”

"I can't hide it," after hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Nangong Xuyao hurriedly spoke, "Before, I was seriously injured, but fortunately, someone saved me. That person saved me, and he used the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill. I also remembered it when I smelled the smell of the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill you took out in the herb shop before. ”

Could it be that this Miss Night in front of her is really her savior?

"Oh, really?" A hint of clarity flashed in Ye Leng'an's eyes, and then he spoke, "I didn't save you." Moreover, the preciousness of this Nine Reincarnations Soul Restoration Pill must also be clear to you, it is impossible for me to rashly use such a precious pill. ”

If it weren't for the fact that she had just come back from the soul piercing, she felt that Nangong Xuyao's situation was very similar to when she was dying, and she might not have rescued people! Moreover, in the end, her life-saving grace also benefited Ye Xiyuan. Now that I think about it, it's really scary.

However, saving people at the beginning was just casual, and he didn't expect Nangong Xuyao to have any kind of reward. Besides, the life-saving grace has already been paid off with money. Therefore, there is no relationship between her and Nangong Xuyao. She didn't want to have anything to do with the other party anymore, so she didn't admit to saving people.

After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, a trace of disappointment flashed in Nangong Xuyao's eyes, but he was still a little unwilling, and continued to ask, "Then I don't know if Miss Ye has transferred the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill to others?" ”

Although he knew that such a possibility was very small, he couldn't help but ask.

"Do you think it's possible?" Ye Leng'an smiled indifferently, "With such a precious elixir, I must have collected it well." Besides, don't you think that I can take out ten or eight of these pills at any time! ”

After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Nangong Xuyao couldn't help but blush, then clenched his fists and said, "Sorry to disturb." Thank you very much Miss Night for your solution today. ”

"It doesn't matter." Ye Leng'an smiled faintly, and then spoke, "However, I can understand that you want to find a life-saving benefactor. However, have you ever thought about one thing, that is, does the other party really want you to go to it? Maybe it's just a casual matter for people to save you, and they don't take it to heart at all. ”

"So, I still advise you not to be too attached to this matter. Especially if your mind is not pure, you should not disturb others. ”

She persuaded like this, not for Nangong Xuyao, but for herself. She didn't want to have anything to do with Nangong Xuyao at all, so she didn't want Nangong Xuyao to know that she was the one who saved him in the first place.

A trace of gloom flashed on Nangong Xuyao's face, and then he took his leave directly.

After Nangong Xuyao left, Huangfu Ruiling said with a smile, "I really don't want him to know that it was you who saved people at the beginning." ”

"Don't." Ye Leng'an couldn't help but roll his eyes, looking respectful and insensitive, "Looking at him like that, it's not that he is lost because he can't thank his life-saving benefactor, he is disappointed because he can't get in touch with a life-saving benefactor who may be an alchemist." ”

She is not a fool, so she naturally saw through Nangong Xuyao's careful thinking. However, this is not the main reason why she is reluctant to speak out. The main reason is that she doesn't want to have anything to do with Nangong Xuyao. The person who once helped Ye Xiyuan like that, she felt that she should respond.

After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, the smile on Huangfu Ruiling's face suddenly became much kinder, "You can see it very clearly!" He knew the preciousness of the Nine-Turn Soul Restoration Pill, and naturally knew that if the other party could use the Nine-Turn Soul Restoration Pill to save him, it would definitely not be a simple person. He did this just to increase his leverage. ”

"Then it seems that his life in the hidden world is not having a good time." Ye Leng'an nodded, and then remembered something, "It seems that he and Zhong Yujiarui are together, and it should be for this reason." ”

"Zhong Yu Jiarui was carried away by love, the head of the Zhong Yu family is not a fool." The corners of Huangfu Ruiling's mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile, "The head of the Zhong Yu family was originally an old fox, and Nangong Xuyao's little bit of care was only seen at a glance in front of him." ”

"Although he doesn't love Zhong Yujiarui the most, but it's his own daughter, he won't let Zhong Yujiarui jump into the fire pit."

"Then it seems that Nangong Xuyao's road will not work, what a pity." Although he said this, there was no trace of regret on Ye Leng'an's face, "However, how do you know so clearly!" ”

After speaking, her suspicious eyes fell on Huangfu Ruiling's body, as if she wanted to see something from the other party's face.

Huangfu Ruiling looked calm and said lightly, "It's not difficult to guess such a simple thing. With Nangong Xuyao's status, it is absolutely impossible to marry the daughter of any big family. It's just that he's still daydreaming. ”

Although his face was so calm, his heartbeat was a beat slower. In fact, the reason why he knew so clearly was because after Ye Leng'an told him that he had met Nangong Xuyao, he sent someone to investigate Nangong Xuyao's affairs in the hidden world, so he knew so clearly.

Of course, he didn't do this because he didn't trust Ye Leng'an. It's just that he has some diaphragm for Nangong Xuyao. Especially before, Nangong Xuyao has always wanted to find his savior. He didn't want Nangong Xuyao and An An to have anything to do with it at all.

Moreover, he could see that An An also thought the same way. That's why I want to investigate and prevent it from happening. Of course, it is not denied that there is also a reason why he is jealous.

However, he won't let Ye Leng'an know about these things. Because he felt that if Ye Leng'an knew, he would definitely laugh at him.
