It's a new day.

Deep in the woods, the morning light was faint, and Jiu Ge, who had slept all night, slowly woke up from his sleep.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Nangong Yueze standing in front of her, looking at her face intently.

"Nangong Yueze, how can there be a person like you, who even has to stare at other girls when they sleep?!" Jiu Ge suddenly became angry.

But Nangong Yueze still stared at her as if she hadn't heard Jiu Ge's words, "In the wilderness, you sleep really deeply." ”

"I ......"

Without waiting for Jiu Ge to speak, Nangong Yueze added: "If someone sneaks up in the middle of the night, like you, the first one will be finished." ”

"What do you call like me, am I that bad?!" After listening to Jiu Ge, he was immediately angry.

Nangong Yueze raised his eyebrows, and said in a light tone: "Don't get excited, I'm just kindly reminding you." ”

"Hmph, who wants you to remind you, you don't speak, no one treats you as dumb!!" Jiu Ge glared at Nangong Yueze angrily, then sat up and prepared to put on his coat.

"What's wrong with you two? I heard both of you early in the morning. Qin Xuan came over and asked.

"Master, you take care of him, don't say anything about peeking at people sleeping early in the morning, what are you talking about here, if someone sneaks up in the middle of the night, I will be the first to be finished." Jiu Ge pointed at Nangong Yueze and complained to Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan glanced at Nangong Yueze, then turned his head to look at Jiu Ge, frowned slightly, and said, "Ge'er, what Xiao Ze said is right, there was indeed a group of strange people in black who passed through the woods in front of us last night. ”

"What...... What? Jiu Ge's eyes widened, staring at Qin Xuan in disbelief, "Master, what you said is true??" ”

"Well, but don't worry too much, they're not targeting us." Qin Xuan added again.

Hearing this, Jiu Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

"But ......" Qin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Cultivators, no matter what time it is, should be vigilant. ”

"Yes, the master taught me." Jiu Ge replied with a red face, and after speaking, she glanced at Nangong Yueze on the side again, "Senior Brother Xiao Ze, I blamed you just now." ”

Nangong Yueze hooked his lips slightly, approached Jiu Ge, and said deliberately: "Who told my master last night that Xiao Ze and I both have eight elemental attributes, but he is already an eighth-order great spirit master, and I haven't even cultivated spiritual blood yet, I think ah, this shouldn't be a matter of talent, but a matter of whether to be lazy or not, I was cultivating all night yesterday, and you, I slept until dawn." ”

"I'm ......" Hearing this, Jiu Ge's face immediately darkened, "I'm not lazy." ”

"You're not lazy, then you're cultivating your spiritual blood for me to see?" Nangong Yueze raised her eyebrows and said.

“……！！！”

Jiu Ge glared at Nangong Yueze angrily, but began to read silently in his heart: Okay, you Nangong Yueze, hum, you don't scream in front of me! Someday, my cultivation will catch up with you!!

Nangong Yueze seemed to know Jiu Ge's thoughts, and the corners of his mouth curled even more, "What's the matter, I can't answer the words?" ”

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Jiu Ge pouted, "I'm going to help the senior brothers pack up their things, you can stay here by yourself." ”

With that, she got up and walked towards the disciples.

Seeing her back, the corners of Nangong Yueze's mouth involuntarily raised a smile.

I don't know when he began to feel that the girl in front of him became more and more pleasing to the eye.

……

It's more than half a day's rush.

In the afternoon, the group came to a place called Shanli City.

Nangong Yueze remembered that when Si Qin and him went to Yunhai Town not long ago, he had seen this small city above the sky.

Shanli City is not prosperous, because the geographical location is just at the junction of the two countries, and it has suffered from war all year round, so the city seems to be particularly depressed.

"Master, I just looked at the topographic map, and there are no towns for two hundred miles ahead, you see, are we staying in Shanli City today, or continue to find a place to camp?" A disciple named Xue Sui took the initiative to ask.

Qin Xuan glanced at everyone, and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, more than thirty people live in the hotel, which is not a small amount.

And it's only the next day, there are still three or four days before they arrive at the Purple Void Academy, and now they will use up the coils, what can they do later?

Just as Qin Xuan was about to tell everyone to find a place to camp, a crisp voice suddenly sounded, "Master." ”

Qin Xuan raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Yueze.

"Master." Nangong Yueze had already seen what Qin Xuan was thinking, so he chuckled and said, "Everyone is tired of traveling so far, let's stay at the guest house today, besides, to participate in the entrance examination of Purple Void Academy, can't we save our physical strength?" ”

"Having said that, but ......" Qin Xuan hesitated.

"Master don't worry about money, I still have a lot of silver leaves here."

He was stunned, then coughed lightly, and agreed with Nangong Yueze's suggestion, "Okay, then let's stay in the hotel." ”

"Great, Master Xie, Senior Brother Xie Xiaoze!!" As they spoke, they dismounted and walked in the direction of Shanlicheng.

There are two inns in Shanli City, one in the east of the city and one in the west of the city.

Qin Xuan originally wanted to choose the Chengdong Inn closest to them, but as soon as he entered, the shopkeeper at the door of the inn stopped him, "Guest officer, the shop is full today, you better go elsewhere." ”

"Full?" Qin Xuan was stunned, and just wanted to speak, when suddenly, a man dressed in black walked down the stairs, that person had a pair of fierce eyes, his eyes made people shudder, he glanced around the inn lobby, and then shouted at the other gray coat Xiao Er: "Xiao Er!" Send us some jars of wine! Hurry up, don't grind!! ”

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute, the wine will be delivered soon!!" Xiao Er in the gray coat hurriedly responded, and as he spoke, he shouted to the shopkeeper who was standing in front of Qin Xuan: "Why are you still standing, why don't you come and help!" ”

"Okay, I'll do it now." The shopkeeper agreed, he glanced at Qin Xuan, and then said: "Guest officer, I won't tell you first, those guest officials who came today are not easy to mess with, I'll go and get busy first, guest officer, please take care of yourself." ”

With that, he turned around and hurried away.

Qin Xuan paused, and was just about to leave, Nangong Yueze suddenly came to the door of the inn, he looked at the lobby of the inn, and then set his eyes on the man in black.

Judging from the person's outfit, the other party should be a secret guard or a killer.

And the breath of the other party was similar to the breath of those people he saw last night.

Seeing Nangong Yueze's strange expression, Qin Xuan walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Ze, what's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Nangong Yueze shook his head, "Master, since this place is full, let's go to the inn on the west side of the city to have a look." ”

"yes, okay." Qin Xuan nodded and walked out of the inn with Nangong Yueze.

Nangong Yueze didn't notice that the moment he and Qin Xuan turned around together, the eyes of the man in black also fell on him.

"Go, send someone to check the identity of that teenager." The man in black turned to the other man behind him.

"Yes, Chief."

……

Shanli City is only a small city, and there are not many shops in the city, so inns are not difficult to find.

After walking for a long time, the group found an inn located in the west of the city.

The name of the inn is "Phoenix Inn", the furnishings in the inn are simple and generous, and there is no too luxurious decoration, compared to the inn just now, the business of the Phoenix Inn seems to be much colder.

As soon as everyone walked into the inn, they smelled a faint smell of medicine, and there was no one else in the entire lobby except for a shopkeeper sitting on the counter.

The shopkeeper was intently looking at the pile of medicinal herbs in front of him, and he didn't notice the arrival of Nangong Yueze and his party at all.

Seeing this, Qin Xuan frowned, and just wanted to remind the shopkeeper, Nangong Yueze had already taken the lead in interrupting him: "This shopkeeper is also too focused, completely treating so many of us as air." ”

Hearing the voice, the shopkeeper raised his head, and when he saw a large group of people coming in, he quickly got up and asked, "You guys, do you want to stay in the hotel or play the top?" ”

"Stay in the hotel." Nangong Yueze responded, "If I hadn't seen the signboard at the door, I would have almost thought that I had entered a medicinal herb shop." ”

The shopkeeper touched his forehead awkwardly, "The guest officer really likes to joke, I was researching a new drug recently, and I was so invested in it just now, I didn't notice you coming in, I'm really sorry." ”

"I see." Nangong Yueze nodded knowingly.

The shopkeeper smiled, pointed to an empty table next to the counter and said, "Please here, there are chairs here, a few of you will sit down and rest first." ”

"There is no need to rest, shopkeeper, arrange thirty-three rooms for us, and find someone to feed the horses for us, and we will leave early tomorrow morning." Nangong Yueze said bluntly.

"Okay, don't worry, guest officer, I'll order it immediately." The shopkeeper hurriedly replied.

……

In the evening, Nangong Yueze stood alone in the corridor of the inn, quietly looking at the passers-by walking on the street, and the man in black he saw in the afternoon came to his mind.

I don't know how long later, a golden lightning thunder eagle suddenly flew down to Nangong Yueze's hand, and on its leg, a small blue bamboo tube with a letterhead was tied.

Nangong Yueze knew that this letterhead came from the Hidden Moon Pavilion.

When the Hidden Moon Pavilion was first founded, Si Qin used his spiritual power as a food and raised fifty lightning thunder eagles, each of which was equivalent to a fifth-level demon beast in cultivation.

You must know that the cultivation of demon beasts is divided into nine levels, and a fifth-level demon beast is comparable in strength to a high-level spirit king or a beginner-level spirit emperor.

In addition to transmitting information on a daily basis, these lightning thunder eagles raised by Si Qin can also play a strong auxiliary role in battles, and they already have the ability to communicate with people.

Nangong Yueze stroked the head of the golden thunder eagle, and then unhurriedly took the letterhead from its feet.

The letterhead was written by Zong Yuan himself, and each stroke on it was written neatly.

"Your Highness the Nine, the Feiyun Sect has just arrived, saying that they are willing to give 500,000 gold leaves and let the Hidden Moon Pavilion help find the whereabouts of the Jinghan girl, I can't make up my mind, so I ask His Highness the Ninth to decide."

After reading the content of the letterhead, Nangong Yueze hooked his lips slightly, "It's a little interesting." ”

Bai Jinghan disappeared, and the Feiyun Sect obviously couldn't sit still.
