Su Qing still lives in seclusion, and if someone from outside comes to visit her, she will turn back into a walking corpse. If she was replaced by a lively and active girl, she would probably be suffocated in the yard, but fortunately, Su Qing was cold by nature, and she got along with Ye Shubai, so she aroused some of her passion. So her social circle is very small, and she is basically so cold that she has no friends.

Ye Shubai lived in the courtyard, and his identity was Lang Zhong who Su Bin invited back to treat Su Qing.

Ever since he was humiliated by Ye Shubai that day, Pei Xuan has hated Lao Su's family. This person is an arrogant and domineering master, and he has a strong background, and he is the quasi-son-in-law of the master Ji Wuyi, so Su Bin can't make the other party's dirty things public, besides, he also has some secrets that are inconvenient for people to know, so Pei Xuan's theft, Su Bin will not mention it, and Pei Xuan is also happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

It's a delicate situation as if nothing happened.

"Lao Su, there is something I want to discuss with you. In an inner room in the North Gate compound, Ji Wuguo said with a solemn expression.

Su Bin was summoned to the secret room by the door master after a regular meeting of the Council of Elders, although this kind of secret room has also appeared before, and told him serious and private things, but this time the situation seems to be more dignified, at least the atmosphere in the secret room is very dignified.

Su Bin also frowned and asked, "The door master said that it doesn't hurt." ”

Ji Wuguo furrowed his brows, and his tone was heavy: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness King Jing sent an angel to the Beiyue Sect and sent me an edict, asking me to restrain the disciples in the sect and not to mess with the Ye Monarch, and ordered my Beiyue Sect to assist Pei Xuan Gongzi to track down the matter of the soul of Feng Yu. ”

Matters concerning the soul of the phoenix feather?

Su Bin was secretly shocked, the soul of the phoenix feather was transformed by the remnants of Empress Xiaojing's death after her death, and these light and ethereal souls like the phoenix feather were scattered within the Seven Realms. Empress Xiaojing is the biological mother of the crown prince Yun Yejun, and the biological mother of His Royal Highness King Jing Yulou is Zhuang Guifei, these two women have always been old enemies, among which the death of Empress Xiaojing is related to Zhuang Guifei, all kinds of grievances and hatreds, resulting in a hostile relationship between the prince and His Royal Highness King Jing. His ancestors have some connections with His Royal Highness the Prince, so he is firmly on the side of the Prince. Now His Royal Highness King Jing not only gave an edict to the Beiyue Sect, but also sent Pei Xuan to investigate the matter of the soul of the phoenix feather, the soul of the phoenix feather was obtained by himself after a lot of hardship, and placed it under Qing'er's bed, originally to let the soul power heal Qing'er's gradually shrinking limbs, but he didn't want Pei Xuan to discover it in the name of applying needles.

Su Bin suddenly felt that something was serious.

"Elder Su, what's wrong with you?" Ji Wuguo asked with some surprise when he saw that the other party's expression was confused and absent-minded.

Su Bin came back to his senses at this time, and pretended to be shocked and said: "The soul of Feng Yu is just a legend, how could His Royal Highness King Jing suddenly mention this?"

Ji Wuguo sighed lightly: "Isn't it? It was originally an ethereal thing, but His Royal Highness King Jing is now quite favored by the Immortal Emperor, and it can be described as powerful, and his edict is full of weight." So we're fine. Speaking of which, look around, although this is a secret room, the outside is a thick wall, even if the wall has ears, it is difficult to hear, but he is still a little frightened, and then lowered his voice, continued: "It is said that the death of Empress Xiaojing was related to Concubine Zhuang Guifei, and after the death of Empress Xiaojing, her soul was also mutilated by Concubine Zhuang Guifei, so that her remnants turned into the soul of Phoenix Feather and scattered in the Seven Realms. In fact, I don't know if this is true or not, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Night Monarch has become a mortal enemy with His Royal Highness King Jing. In principle, our Beiyue Sect is located in the middle of the two giants, and it can't stand in line casually. However, the initiative of whether to stand in line or not is not in our hands, so we must grasp the direction and choose a stronger backer to stand in line in order to better protect our vital interests. ”

Su Bin asked, "Do you think the door master thinks we have to choose His Royal Highness King Jing?"

Ji Wuguo was silent for a while, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and then nodded: "That's right, although Yun Yejun is the honor of the prince, this prince is quite reluctant, and it can be said that he is a failure." His Majesty the Immortal Emperor didn't want to see him, Concubine Zhuang regarded him as a thorn in her side, and His Royal Highness King Jing and His Royal Highness King Yu naturally also eyed him. Now the rumors of the abolition of the crown prince by the Immortal Emperor have been raised, and it will become a foreseeable thing for His Royal Highness King Jing to be corrected, so it is obvious that we bet on His Royal Highness King Jing. ”

Su Bin was speechless, his heart was intertwined with helplessness and anger, but he was only slightly stunned, and he didn't reveal too much information on his face, so he nodded: "The door master is wise, and Su also thinks that betting on King Jing is a correct choice." ”

Ji Wuguo's face froze, and he continued: "Yesterday, the angel said that someone from my Beiyue Sect was looking for the soul of Light Feather for Yun Yejun, and asked me to assist Prince Pei Xuan in handling this matter. The stakes are very high, so I have to discuss with you how to find out that person and give an explanation to His Royal Highness King Jing. ”

Su Bin was secretly shocked in his heart, but his face was solemn: "Door master, please rest assured, we will definitely explain this matter to His Royal Highness King Jing." ”

Ji Wuguo smiled and bowed slightly: "Well, our Beiyue Sect is not big, it is not small, hundreds of people, it is not easy to find out that person, but as long as we carefully investigate and screen carefully, we will definitely be able to find him out." ”

Su Bin nodded in agreement with his statement.

Leaving the North Gate Palace, Su Bin walked in a corridor a little depressed, judging from Ji Wuguo's expression and tone just now, he should not know that he was that person, and Pei Xuan should not have informed him yet. However, with the relationship between this guy and Ji Nihuang, Ji Wuguo knew that it was only a matter of time, maybe Pei Xuan didn't want to shake things out like this, he must have other demands.

Just as he was thinking, he turned a moon door in front of him, and a familiar figure stood in the shade of a tree on the side of the road, looking at him with a smile.

It was Pei Xuan.

This guy was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, with a small jade crown on his head, holding a small folding fan in his hand, standing there gracefully, with a smile on his face, smiling very warmly.

"Elder Su, don't come unharmed!" Pei Xuan greeted warmly like an old friend who had reunited.

For this young man who was quite compatible with him on weekdays, Su Bin suddenly felt disgusted in his heart, and said coldly: "Pei Gongzi, do you have any advice?" As he spoke, he walked forward, seemingly unwilling to entangle with him any longer.

Pei Xuan didn't chase after him, but said lightly: "Doesn't Elder Su want to know what His Royal Highness King Jing means?"

Hearing such a somewhat threatening remark, Su Bin was furious, stopped, and glared at him coldly with his eyes back: "Is Pei Gongzi threatening the old man?"

"No, no, no, Elder Su, don't get me wrong. Pei Xuan shook his head and approached in a dashing manner, "To tell you something from my heart, I, Pei Xuan, have always treated Elder Su as a friend, if this is false, people and gods will be punished." I hope that Elder Su will not regard Pei Xuan as a treacherous villain because of this incident. ”

Su Bin sneered: "Pei Gongzi is a high-ranking lord, and he is unspeakably noble, and he came here from my Beiyue Sect to be ordered by His Royal Highness King Jing." Pei Gongzi doesn't think I, Su Bin is vulgar, and I can't be rebellious, I, Su Bin, am really fortunate in my three lives. ”

If these words are said in a sincere tone, it is tantamount to the expression of true feelings between good friends, but unfortunately it is a cynical tone at the moment, and it will completely change the taste.

Pei Xuan didn't care, and his smile did not decrease: "Elder Su, you dissipate your anger, I know, I deceived you this time, and my heart can be punished, I apologize to you here, I'm sorry!" As he spoke, he inserted the small folding fan on the back of his neck, and then bowed his hand and bowed deeply to the other party, with a sincere attitude.

Su Bin was slightly moved, and sighed: "Pei Xuan, you treat me as a friend, I, Su Bin, am not a plant and tree, and I will not be indifferent, but you and I are our own masters, and we are destined not to be friends again. ”

Pei Xuan smiled slightly bitterly: "Elder Su, what kind of proposition is the division between good and evil in the world, it is too grandiose, let's not talk about it." Let's just talk about topics that are related to our own vital interests. People should always know what they want for a lifetime. That's right, some people's ideals are very great, what is for heaven and earth, for the people, for the sake of the saints, for the eternal peace, etc., the slogan is shouted very loudly. But at the end of the day, you can't go hungry. You have to solve your own survival problem first, otherwise your survival will become a problem, and what is the use of those slogans you shout, it will only become a laughing stock. ”

Su Bin's expression was cold and he didn't speak.

Pei Xuan continued: "It's true that Yun Yejun is the crown prince, but have you ever seen any prince in history who deserves to be so sloppy and deserving? No, not one. Presumably Elder Su has also heard the rumors that His Majesty the Immortal Emperor is going to abolish the crown prince. You may think that it is just a rumor, not to be believed, but it is groundless, and it may not be without cause. According to the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the crown prince is deposed. Of course, I know that Elder Su's ancestors have some relationship with the crown prince, and Elder Su is now loyal to the prince, which is the ancestral teaching left by the ancestors from generation to generation, and it is a kind of loyalty that has been passed down from generation to generation, which is precious. However, everything must always think about the future, if you stick to the ancestral teachings and do not know how to change, the future will be harmed to the children and grandchildren, and even the future of the entire family, why bother? ”

"His Royal Highness Yejun treats my ancestors like friends, treats me like friends, and never changes his original intention from beginning to end, I Su Bin dare not boast of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, everything is complete, I only know, others treat me well, I treat him well, others are consistent, I am consistent, that's all. Su Bin's tone was light and his demeanor was leisurely, but there was an unyielding arrogance between his words, which made people look sideways.
