When Liu Xunyi returned to King Xian's Mansion alone, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet had not yet dispersed. From afar, you can still hear the bustling laughter and laughter of the disciples in the house, but Liu Xunyi at this moment can no longer raise the slightest interest in "not getting drunk and not returning".

Liu Xunyi's expression was lonely, indescribable, his body was staggering, his steps were difficult, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he was full of haze.

Liu Xunyi's eyes kept appearing, and when he was with Luo Ningyu just now, the scenes that happened. Luo Ningyu's sad and choked words echoed in his ears. All kinds of tastes gathered in his heart, and he was upset by a thousand things.

Liu Xunyi knew that except for Zhao Xin, he would not like a second woman again. knew that Lin Fangda had a deep affection for Luo Ning, and he must not take away the love of others. He also knew that his blunt rejection of Luo Ningyu was undoubtedly unwise to swing his sword to cut the love silk and cut the mess with a quick knife.

But wisdom is wise, but when he thought of Luo Ningyu's heartbroken and pitiful appearance, Liu Xunyi suddenly felt guilty, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable.

Liu Xunyi was melancholy all the way, and returned to King Xian's Mansion in a leisurely manner. At this moment, Lin Fangda did not drink with everyone in the mansion, but stood alone and silently outside the mansion gate, looking at him with a solemn expression.

"Big brother?" Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly put away the bitterness on his face, and forced a smile, "Why are you here?"

"Why didn't you come back with you?" Lin Fangda was not as kind and enthusiastic as before, but there was still a faint gloom lingering between his eyebrows.

It's just that Liu Xunyi was fettered at this time, so he didn't notice Lin Fangda's abnormality. Suddenly, when he mentioned Luo Ningyu, the smile on Liu Xunyi's face suddenly froze, and he pondered for a moment before he casually prevaricated: "I'm a little tired, but Ning Yu still wants to go shopping in the night market for a while." I saw that someone behind me was secretly protecting her, so I came back alone......"

When Liu Xunyi said this, he always avoided Lin Fangda's gaze intentionally or unintentionally, and for some reason, he always felt that he owed something to Lin Fangda.

Strangely, Lin Fangda didn't get to the bottom of Luo Ningyu as always, but just nodded lightly. Suddenly, he changed his words and asked in a strange tone, "Xunyi, do you treat me as a big brother?"

Liu Xunyi's spirits perked, his mind was now full of Luo Ningyu, and he suddenly heard Lin Fangda ask this, and subconsciously thought that Lin Fangda came to Xingshi to ask for guilt because he snatched love with a knife.

Liu Xunyi raised his head suddenly, and said righteously: "The eldest brother is as kind to me as a mountain, and the younger brother not only regards you as the eldest brother, but also as a close relative. ”

"That's good!" Lin Fangda nodded heavily, his tone still heavy, "Since you treat me as a big brother, shouldn't you treat me sincerely?"

"It's nature. Liu Xunyi replied without hesitation.

"That being said, there are some things I want to ask you. Seeing that Liu Xunyi was so sincere, Lin Fangda's face suddenly became complicated, he looked at Liu Xunyi with a tangled gaze, and muttered, "You must answer truthfully, don't deceive me in the slightest." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi was more sure of Lin Fangda's intentions, so he took the initiative to speak: "Big brother, in fact, I ...... to her."

"I didn't mean to ask about that. Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to explain, Lin Fangda suddenly interrupted, "It's not Ningyu's business, it's your business." ”

Lin Fangda's tiger eyes stared at Liu Xunyi, as if he didn't want to let go of any subtle expression on his face.

Liu Xunyi's face was suspicious, and he smiled awkwardly: "In the cold winter and the moon, the snow is falling, why do you and my brother stand in the ice and snow and talk? Why don't you go back and sit around the fire and drink and talk slowly?"

After that, Liu Xunyi was about to drag Lin Fangda into the house, but Lin Fangda suddenly grabbed his wrist with his backhand, shook his head slowly with a serious expression, and said word by word: "No! If you can't make it clear to me here, I'm afraid that after you go in later...... I don't know how to help you. ”

Lin Fangda's words made Liu Xunyi suspicious. In his memory, Lin Fangda never seemed so serious.

Liu Xunyi leaned over and looked at Lin Fangda holding his hand, and chuckled, "What did the eldest brother say...... Why can't the little brother understand?"

"Who the hell are you?"

Lin Fangda suddenly spoke, just this sentence made Liu Xunyi's heart tremble suddenly, and the thousands of thoughts that had just lingered in his heart instantly dissipated without a trace.

Liu Xunyi's deep gaze stared straight at Lin Fangda, looking at each other, and neither of the two avoided it.

"What do you mean by this, big brother?" asked Liu Xunyi quietly.

"Where are you from?" Lin Fang asked faintly, "Where did your martial arts come from?"

"Hasn't the younger brother already said about my origin?" Liu Xunyi pretended to be relaxed and said with a light smile, "The younger brother is a person from Jiangling, and he was a disciple of Jiangling Fan Humen, and studied under the great master of Fan Humen, Zhao Tong. What's the matter, big brother, why do you suddenly ask these questions again? Isn't it ......?"

"Is that true?" Lin Fangda suddenly interrupted.

Liu Xunyi was under Lin Fangda's gaze, and there was a sudden hesitation in his heart. He really didn't want to take advantage of Lin Fangda's trust in him and continue to deceive him. But thinking of the heavy responsibility he shouldered, which was related to the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, the Han people, and Zhao Xin, who was waiting for his triumphant return in Lin'an, Liu Xunyi had to continue to be ruthless and hide the truth to the end.

Under the moonlit night, the snow drifted and scattered on Liu Xunyi and Lin Fangda's bodies, while the two brothers stood motionless on the steps in front of King Xian's Mansion, allowing the goose-featherlike snowflakes to slowly cover their bodies, almost turning into two snowmen.

In this way, the two looked at each other, stalemate, and I don't know how long it took for Liu Xunyi to slowly speak expressionlessly: "Every word is true, don't dare to deceive." ”

Seeing Liu Xunyi's personal promise, Lin Fang's eyes once again flashed with a complicated color.

After a while, Lin Fangda suddenly reached out and pulled Liu Xunyi into his arms, and Liu Xunyi also subconsciously hugged Lin Fangda with his backhand in surprise. The two big men hugged the bear tightly in the snow, and Lin Fangda whispered: "Since it is what the virtuous brother said, the eldest brother will not doubt it." No matter what happens later, big brother will definitely stand with you!"

Liu Xunyi became more and more confused when he listened, feeling Lin Fangda tightly squeezing his arms, and asked suspiciously, "Big brother, what happened?"

"Actually, the lord of the mansion has always distrusted you. Lin Fangda quickly explained, "Many people in the mansion think that your origin is unknown, and you have a plan to sneak into the Xianwang Mansion by all means, but because you have saved my life with me and Ning Yu, and because you went to the Western Regions to get back the storm and rain map for the mansion master, I have to summon you into the mansion." But even so, the lord of the mansion has always had reservations about you, so much so that many things ...... I won't let you interfere. ”

At this moment, Liu Xunyi finally figured out why he was idle during this time? It turned out that Luo Tianjin was deliberately wary of him.

"That's ...... so"

Although Liu Xunyi had expected it, when he heard Lin Fangda say it in person at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart, and his tone became a little lonely. He smiled bitterly and asked, "Since the mansion master doesn't believe me, it must be more than just idling me, I think...... There must be something else going on, right?"

Lin Fangda slowly let go of Liu Xunyi, nodded with indignation in his eyes, and said: "What you said is good, the mansion master and Second Master Xie don't believe you, so they secretly sent Third Master Jiang to Jiangling to thoroughly investigate your details." ”

"What the eldest brother is talking about is one of the seven heroes of the Xianwang Mansion, Jiang Yiwei?" asked Liu Xunyi in surprise. At the same time, he was also quickly calculating countermeasures in his heart.

Although Liu Xunyi pretended to be the identity of Jiangling Fan Humen, in fact, he had nothing to do with Fan Humen. If Jiang Yiwei secretly visited Jiangling, he was afraid that the lies he had made up would soon be exposed.

"Exactly. Lin Fangda didn't know Liu Xunyi's thoughts, and thought that he was thinking that he was struggling because Luo Tianjin didn't trust him, and then changed his words and said, "Third Master Jiang is not an ordinary person, once he makes a move, he will find out that he is ugly and ugly in everything, so I will ask you about your origin in detail just now." I did doubt you, especially your martial arts, how could they be taught by Fan Humen?"

Liu Xunyi smiled bitterly: "The fists and feet I learned in Fan Humen are just some fur kung fu. Later, there were occasional God-given opportunities, so I learned this martial arts. After that, Liu Xunyi's eyes moved, and he asked tentatively, "But Fan Humen has been destroyed many years ago, and I don't know what Third Master Jiang ...... Where can I find out?"

"The lord of the mansion originally didn't care about the origin of the disciple, after all, there are many heroes in the rivers and lakes, and he has never asked where he came from. Lin Fangda explained, "But you are too good, strong in martial arts, and excellent in mind, which has to attract the attention and suspicion of the mansion master." In fact, even if you really hide your identity, it is not a big deal. It's just that it's an eventful time now, and if the lord of the mansion knows that you have been deceived, I'm afraid that he will also have doubts about the purpose of your entry into the mansion. Therefore, once the charges are confirmed, you will be expelled from the Xian Wang's Mansion at the least, and you will be ...... at the worst."

"What's the matter?"

"The most important thing is to act according to the rules of the Xianwang Mansion, and those who have bad intentions in the mansion will be pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows and die!" Lin Fangda hesitated when he said this. Obviously, he didn't want to see Liu Xunyi really come this far.

Lin Fangda looked at Liu Xunyi, who had a solemn expression, and then reassured: "Since you don't have any deception, then there is no need to worry. Although the lord of the mansion has doubts about you, he will never wronged a good person for no reason. ”

"Since the lord of the mansion was already suspicious when I entered the mansion. Presumably, it will not be a matter of a day or two to check my details. Liu Xunyi was side-by-sided, and his tone became a little strange.

"Yes. Lin Fangda said frankly.

"Then why does the eldest brother tell me everything now?" Liu Xunyi said tentatively, "and he made a special trip to wait for me outside the mansion......?" The lord of the house ordered you to find me?"

"Exactly!"

"Why?"

"Because half an hour ago, Third Master Jiang ...... I'm home!"
