Chapter 169: The Half of the White Silk That Escaped

After Chen Xi left Bai Xiaosheng's residence, he didn't go back to the front hall of the Strange Guest Hall, and left directly through the back door to the small courtyard he rented. Lao Hongtou saw Chen Xi coming back and hurriedly greeted him, Chen Xi had something in his heart and returned to the room with a few polite words. When he entered the door, he saw Meow waiting in the room, obviously a little anxious.

"Childe, you're back. ”

Ah Meow said with some excitement: "I have the trace of Chen Tianji." ”

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where is it?"

Ah Meow said: "Ah Gou's biggest ability is to have a good nose, that day after Chen Tianji left the small courtyard in the seventeen streets, Ah Gou secretly went in to find his clothes and smelled it, Ah Gou has been going around the streets for the past few days, and finally gave him a smell...... I stayed in an inn on the original Black Tiger Gang's territory, and I stared at it for a long time, and after he went out, I hurried over and waited for you to come back. It seems that there are other people who are in contact with him, and they should all be very powerful cultivators. ”

Chen Xi nodded, and instead of continuing to ask Chen Tianji about it, he asked, "Is Ao Qian's injury better?"

A Meow said: "The arm has been connected, now go back to raise, the medicine door is indeed good, I received the son's book of exercises as a diagnosis fee, and I connected Ao Qian's arm on the same day." But when Ao Qian came back, he told me to let me leave, and he kept it in that small courtyard by himself. ”

Chen Xi snorted: "Ao Qian is a person with a thin background...... You and he are not very strong in cultivation, but you can take a book of high-level exercises to seek medical treatment, it is strange that such a strange thing is not noticed, and the people in the medicine gate must not have been eyed. It's safer for Ao Qian to let you leave him and raise it there by himself, and the people from the medicine gate will continue to wait to see who will connect with Ao Qian. If they are sure that there are no masters around Ao Qian, it won't be long before they make a move. ”

Meow was taken aback: "Then do you want me to go back and remind Ao Qian?"

"No, I don't. ”

Chen Xi shook his head: "You continue to go to that inn and keep an eye on Chen Tianji, and I will go and bring Ao Qian back by myself later." You walk down the street behind the Stranger Hall and see if anyone comes out of the back door. ”

Meow said yes and turned to leave.

Chen Xi crossed his knees, frowning slightly, sorting out the strange things he saw after coming back. Gao Tang's past, in fact, he has already checked almost it. If you want to make those people under Ao Qian completely lose their loyalty to Gao Tang, then the best way is to let them know Gao Tang's personality directly.

Over the past few days, Ao Qian has been asking these people to investigate Gao Tang's previous affairs. In fact, many secrets are no longer secrets as long as they are dug up. There is nothing seamless in this world, as long as you can find a line, you can pull the whole black curtain out.

Judging from the information dug up, Gao Tang is by no means a simple person.

Many years ago, he and Zeng Xian roamed the underworld together. Later, the swordsman assassinated Zeng Xian, and in order to save Zeng Xian, Gaotang was also injured by the swordsman. Many years later, not long after Bai Xiaosheng first arrived in Tianshu City, Gao Tang was assassinated, and it was Bai Xiaosheng who sacrificed his life to save him. Between these two incidents, Guo Fangniu was chased and killed by the knifeman, and it was Gao Tang who helped, Guo Fangniu was a righteous person, and he has not left the Yike Hall since then.

What secrets are hidden behind this seemingly small hall owner?

Chen Xi connected all the ideas and sorted out a clear vein. He didn't want to get too involved in the matter of the Strange Guest Hall, he just came here to gain the trust of the gods, and then try his best to get close to the high-level officials of the gods, and find out who ordered the poison against his parents back then.

However, once he came in, how could he not cause trouble. He just wanted to use the Strange Guest Hall as a step to disrupt these loose forces on the Southwest Underworld, but now what seemed to be hidden behind the Strange Guest Hall was even more curious.

Just as he was thinking about this, Hu Donkey came to the door and asked to see him. After chatting for a while, Hu Donkey said that early tomorrow morning, he would ask Chen Xi to replace Guo Fangniu to inspect several streets controlled by Yiketang. It's something that the people of the Stranger Hall do every morning, so it's nothing.

Chen Xi agreed, and Hu Donkey immediately said goodbye and left.

Chen Xi practiced for an hour, and when he saw that it was already afternoon, he got up and walked out. There must be some problems on those streets, and he plans to go out first. I didn't go out for a long time, and I met Guan Lie standing at the corner of the street.

"I invite you to dinner, can you not care about me repairing your eldest brother to abolish?"

Chen Xi asked seriously.

Guan Lie looked at him and replied equally seriously: "That's my own eldest brother...... At least two meals!"

Chen Xi saw that he was still in the mood to joke, and his heart was also a little more steady. In fact, he didn't care much about Guan Ze and Chen Xi, even if it was the huge Guan family behind Guan Ze, Chen Xi had nothing to fear. All he's worried about is Guan Yeol, and he doesn't want to lose someone he can be a friend with.

"Actually, for him, this might be a good thing...... You may think I'm cold-blooded and ruthless, but I can still laugh when my eldest brother is abolished by you. ”

Guan Lie said as he walked: "He woke up before I went out, I went to see him, he recognized me and called me brother...... It's been many years since I've seen that kind of kindness to his family in his eyes, and you have abolished his cultivation and made him lose some of his memories, but he is not sad at all now. He had forgotten that he had been a cultivator, and I watched him eat a lot of food, which was very sweet. ”

The two of them casually found a restaurant and sat down and ordered a few side dishes, but neither of them moved their chopsticks.

Guan Lie let out a long breath: "Actually, there are some things I shouldn't tell you, but you must have guessed it...... Because of Guan Ze's paranoid and dark nature, the family decided to use his body to make a reality, implanting the Blood River Realm Bead into his body with a talisman array, and nourishing the evil spirits with his anger. The eldest brother thought that the elders of the family valued him, and the more domineering he was. He didn't know that if you hadn't taken action to abolish his cultivation, maybe it wouldn't take five years for the evil spirit to resurrect through his physical body. His body was demonic at that time, and he was dead. ”

Chen Xi finally knew why Guan Lie could laugh...... If he hadn't abolished Guan Ze's cultivation, Guan Ze would have died five years later. Now Guan Ze is an ordinary person, and a little stupid, but he is alive, and he may live happily in the future.

"You did what I always wanted to do but didn't dare to do. ”

Guan Lie sighed: "I've wanted to save him since I learned about it, but I'm ...... Can't. ”

……

……

Guan Lie looked at the wine in the glass, and after being silent for a while, he continued: "You are walking on a blade, it is too dangerous. Although I don't know exactly what you plan to do, I still want to advise you to leave Tianshu City as much as possible...... You and Liu Xichen can't hide it, and you can't say that King Pingjiang already knows. He also pretended not to know because he couldn't lose the support of the Liu family at this time...... If it is rumored that Liu Xichen has another man, can King Pingjiang still pretend not to know?"

"So King Pingjiang will quietly get rid of me?"

Chen Xi asked.

Without waiting for Guan Lie to answer, Chen Xi shook his head again: "If King Pingjiang is ruthless enough, he won't get rid of me, he will either send someone to keep an eye on me, or arrest me and lock me up." When he could turn his face with the Liu family one day, he pushed me out and told everyone that Liu Xichen seduced the man outside behind his back. It's a particularly good excuse for no man to tolerate his woman being incompatible with other men behind her back. But then again, am I robbing the Holy Prince's fiancΓ©e?"

Guan Lie was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly: "You have seen it thoroughly, for the sake of the Holy Emperor's position, you can actually ignore anything." ”

Chen Xi nodded: "I know how dangerous the environment is, but I have to keep doing it." ”

"Why?"

Guan Lie asked.

"Ask for debt. ”

Chen Xi replied with two words.

Chen Xi glanced at him and shocked Guan Lie's heart even more with the next sentence: "I am the son of the sect leader of the Mantian Sect, Chen Qianran, and I have the responsibility to go and get some debts back for my father." ”

Guan Lie's face obviously changed, and he shook his head: "Maybe they want you to live more." ”

"I know I'm going to try to live a little longer. ”

Chen Xi smiled: "A small person makes many big people in Tianshu City worry so much, can I be proud?"

Guan Lie looked at him, and the more he didn't understand this person: "I don't know why you're always so confident, haven't you thought that you might die without knowing it?" There are so many young cultivators in Tianshu City who seem to be talented that they die every year, you can't let go?"

Chen Xi replied: "That's not letting go, it's escaping." ”

"You're too paranoid!"

Guan Lie's voice raised a little, obviously unable to suppress his feelings.

"Thank you. ”

Chen Xi suddenly said thank you seriously: "You are really a person who can be friends, but as a friend, I still hope that you can stay away from me." ”

Guan Lie gave him a blank look: "I'm afraid of affecting me?"

Chen Xi didn't speak.

Guan Lie laughed: "You have also seen a lot of people from our background, you have seen Liu Xichen, Guan Ze, Zisang Xiaoduo, and me...... Do you know now that we people have nothing since we were born? As we get older, do you know how strong our desire for this kind of thing is not there? Liu Xichen went to the Mantian Sect, and I went to the Mantian Sect, not because I wanted to fight for a while, whether I succeeded or not, at least I struggled...... Freedom, we don't have freedom. ”

Guan Lie raised his head, and there was a little sadness in his smile: "So I suddenly envy Guan Ze, tomorrow he will be sent to a manor of the Guan family in Jizhou, where there are no cultivators, they are all ordinary people." He's away from the filth, and I'm going to keep sinking. Maybe in five years, ten years, I'll be the person I hate the most. ”

Chen Xi's heart was shocked.

Maybe in a few years, I'll be the person I hate the most.

When he said this, the bitterness in Guan Lie's heart made Chen Xi's heart feel uncomfortable together.

"Perhaps, I should try to resist a little more. ”

Guan Lie looked at Chen Xi: "Just like you." ”

……

……

There is a Cai Xiaodao in Yidaotang, and there is a Cai Xiaodao who killed the family of the previous lobby master and later became the lobby master. Cai Xiaodao has always wanted to do one thing, that is, to kill all the unconvinced people in Yidao Hall first, so that he doesn't really want to go to Chen Xi for revenge...... Such a dangerous thing, he would not do it until he was absolutely sure to kill Chen Xi.

After all, it is easier to quietly kill those disobedient people in the Yidao Hall than to be enemies with the people in the Yike Hall.

So Cai Xiaodao likes to visit the door recently, and he visits the remaining hall masters of Yidao Hall. With a lot of gifts, politely seems to be an outsider. He just wanted to see how many people there were in each person's family, and when the time came, there would be no omissions in the killing.

When he walked out of the door of a hall master's house, he suddenly felt an itch in his nose, and he subconsciously raised his hand to rub it, as if something swished into his nose. He didn't see it, it was a white thread as thin as a head, and it was also very short, only two or three centimeters long. And the white silk wasn't solid, so he just felt a little itchy when he got in.

After the white silk got into Cai Xiaodao's nose, he stiffened a little, and then there seemed to be a mist in his eyes. He shook his head vigorously, and suddenly he seemed to be much stronger than before. He couldn't figure out what had happened, but he was happy.
