Chapter 32: Chinese New Year's Eve

Yu Man couldn't sleep when she was lying on the bed, she had a lot of things she wanted to ask, but she couldn't ask. In a blink of an eye, he saw Ji Nuan lying next to him with his eyes closed, thinking of today's everything, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, and he smiled knowingly.

She couldn't help but stretch out her right hand and touch Ji Nuan's long and thick black eyelashes, and when her fingertips just touched her eyelashes, she opened her eyes. Yu Man immediately withdrew in embarrassment, looking a little overwhelmed.

Ji Nuan didn't actually fall asleep, he kept thinking about the things in Mofu, Xiangling is a demon, a shemale has a different path, and the monk is missing, what is the connection?

"You didn't sleep either? Who did you say about the disappearance of the Qinzhou monks, what was his purpose in arresting them, senior sister, they have all investigated for so long and have not found anything, what is the problem?" Ji Nuan asked a few questions in a row, not paying attention to Yu Man's actions just now.

Yu Man replied: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that as long as the hearts of a hundred monks are refined into pills, cultivators can become immortals if they eat it, mortals can live forever if they eat it, and goblins can become adults if they eat it, so I think someone mistakenly believed the rumors."

"And this kind of thing, has anything like this happened before"?

"No, the rumors are not credible, and no one dares to take such a risk. It is not easy to catch a hundred monks, and as for the demons, they are afraid to avoid the monks, where can they have such ability."

"So, the disappearance of this monk must be for the sake of someone"? Thinking about it like this, Ji Nuan's worry in his heart was less, and he slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Tang Yanyan returned to the inn exhausted, and saw Ji Nuan and Yu Man chatting and laughing while eating breakfast. I couldn't help but cry up: "We are all Dusk Creek disciples, we worked hard all night, but some people are good, they are lazy here!"

Ji Nuan didn't hear anything about him, but as soon as Yu Man's temper came up, he immediately picked up the sword on the table and prepared to shoot.

Ji Nuan pressed her hand in time and shook her head lightly: "Don't pay attention to him, he is just cheap, and there is no malice."

Ji Nuan looked at everyone's tired appearance, knowing that they were busy again last night, she had already ordered breakfast for them, and at this moment, Xiao Er had already brought it up.

"Guest officers, this is the breakfast you want."

Everyone was tired, and no one was polite enough to sit down at the table and eat. Cheng Xiaorou didn't sit down, but stopped Ji Nuan, "Senior Sister Ji, I have something to ask you, come with me!"

Cheng Xiaorou went back to the room after speaking, Ji Nuan smiled and nodded at Yu Man, and went upstairs under the puzzled eyes of everyone.

"Senior sister, what are you looking for me?"

Cheng Xiaorou sat at the table, her face no longer had the tenderness she used to have, and she became very serious. "What did you see when you went to Mofu yesterday? Why did Mo Yun see you alone?" She felt the demonic aura outside Mofu yesterday and was rejected by Mo Yun, and she vaguely guessed something in her heart.

"Senior sister, Mo Yun is big-minded, he will definitely not be a bad person, I believe him." Ji Nuan talked to him left and right, she couldn't say anything about Xiangling, but she didn't want to lie.

"Since you don't want to say it, forget it, but you have to remember the precepts of Twilight Creek, and you must not be in the company of demons, otherwise..." She knew that Ji Nuan was kind-hearted and had a good relationship with Mo Yun, afraid that she would go astray.

Ji Nuan knew that she had good intentions, but she was sure in her heart, thought about it and replied: "Senior sister, rest assured, Ji Nuan will never do anything harmful to others."

The two were silent for a moment, Ji Nuan took the lead out of the room, and Cheng Xiaorou shook her head and began to meditate.

When Ji Nuan went downstairs, everyone else left, only Yu Man was still waiting for her, and when she saw her going downstairs, she immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, senior sister, they're all resting, let's go outside and have a look!"

"Hmm".

The two walked out of the inn together, Yu Man knew that she didn't want to say something, so she didn't ask much, and the two walked on the street speechlessly.

When Li Qingyuan returned to the room to meditate, there was a sudden heart-killing pain in his body, and the spirit Gu in his body was greedily devouring blood, swimming in his chest for a while, and crawling to his face for a while.

He was so pained by the bite that he scrambled out of the inn that he stumbled out of the inn. The figure on the corner caught his attention, the man with a white Xun in his hand, smiled evilly at him, and then turned and ran away, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain and followed.

It wasn't until I left Qinzhou City and came to a deserted mountain forest that the pain in my body suddenly disappeared. Two familiar and unfamiliar backs appeared in front of him, and he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Li Qingyuan greets the eldest prince."

The two turned around, and it was Kano and Alfede, who did not answer, but talked to Afede.

"You said that this paper kite flew far away, would you not want to return to the master's hands?" Although he was talking to Ah Feide, his eyes were looking at Li Qingyuan.

"The subordinates feel that no matter how high the paper kite flies, as long as the spool is still in the hand, it can't run far."

"What if he wants to break the line and fly?"

"Then the subordinate will shoot it down himself."

Kano kept playing with the wrench on his thumb, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were staring at Li Qingyuan fiercely.

Li Qingyuan hurriedly replied: "The prince is angry, Li Qingyuan has never thought of leaving the prince, please ask the prince to investigate."

"Li Qingyuan, what a good name, it is indeed much better than Amuyuan."

"The prince forgives the sin, and Amu Yuan knows that he is wrong."

Li Qingyuan was the meticulous work arranged by the King of the Western Regions in Duxi ten years ago, and the spirit Gu in his body was also planted at that time, in order to contain him.

Once planted, the Gu will remain asleep in the host's body. As soon as it hears a special rhythm, it will wake up and bite wildly on the host's body until the host dies.

He hadn't received any instructions for ten years, and for a long time he had forgotten that he had another identity. Not long ago, he had received his first order, which was to disturb Twilight Creek and monitor Ji Nuan's movements, but he had not yet found the right time.

"Forgive your sins, what sin do you have"?

The playful smile made him shudder, Kano's methods were notoriously ruthless in the Western Regions.

"Prince, Amuyuan has always remembered the prince's orders, but he just didn't find a suitable opportunity."

Li Qingyuan had been kneeling on the ground, and Kano suddenly helped him up himself. What he will do most is to buy people's hearts, and everything is up to the point.

"Amuyuan, I naturally believe you, isn't the current matter in Qinzhou a good opportunity, do you understand"?

"Yes, Amuyuan understands."

Before leaving, Kano suddenly turned around and said, "Amuyuan, this prince never raises useless people, you can do it yourself."

Alfede also gave him a meaningful look and turned to leave.

Li Qingyuan clenched his fists and said fiercely after they left: "One day, I will be out of your control, and at that time, I will definitely trample you all under my feet."

When he returned to the inn, he saw Zhu Changqin sitting at the table from a distance, and there were teacup fragments everywhere on the ground, and there were still undried tea stains on the table.

Previously, Zhu Changqin saw Cheng Xiaorou and Tang Yanyan going out with laughter, and wanted to find Li Qingyuan to vent his unhappiness, and the people who came here and didn't see him were naturally angry.

Seeing this, Li Qingyuan held back his anger, slowly loosened his clenched fist, put on a flattering smile and walked in, and said flatteringly: "What's wrong with senior brother, who is not long-sighted and offended senior brother, Li Qingyuan will teach him a lesson."

Zhu Changqin was even more annoyed when he heard this, and smashed the only remaining teapot on the table at him.

He immediately dodged wittily, went behind Zhu Changqin from the side, and began to pinch his shoulders for him, "Senior brother, don't be angry, I have a way to solve your worries."

Zhu Changqin stood up and slapped him, and said viciously: "Why do I need you to relieve my worries, say, where did you go just now?"

Li Qingyuan touched his red and swollen face, but continued to smile, he had long been accustomed to Zhu Changqin's moodiness over the years, after all, those who have achieved great things are not informal.

"Senior brother, I'm going to inspect, I just met Senior Sister Xiaorou and Tang Yanyan, they..."

"Shut up". Zhu Changqin interrupted angrily, and his backhand was another slap, and this time Li Qingyuan wittily dodged it.

"Senior brother, I know you're angry, I have a good way to kill two birds with one stone, and promise to make Tang Yanyan pay the price."

"If you have something to say, don't talk about it."

Li Qingyuan immediately leaned into his ear and whispered, and the anger on Zhu Changqin's face turned into a wicked smile after hearing this...

In the early morning of the next day, Tang Yanyan returned to the room and immediately collapsed on the bed, but the envelope on the bed still caught his attention. He took it apart and looked at it, and sat up excitedly, and all the tiredness disappeared.

"Senior sister asked me to go to He Huan Bridge to put lotus lanterns on Chinese New Year's Eve, it seems that she has seen all my efforts, which is great." After he finished speaking, he kissed the letter again, but after thinking about it, his senior sister didn't seem to have given up on Song Wangchen. Moreover, the disappearance of the monk is unknown, how can the senior sister have time to make an appointment with herself.

Soon he denied it in his heart, surely because today is Chinese New Year's Eve, what gift should he buy? Thinking of this, he immediately ran out of the inn and began to go to the street to pick out gifts. The streets are more lively than ever, with lights everywhere and pedestrians wearing red clothes and smiling faces.

Night soon came, and the two Ruqin sisters officially celebrated the New Year for the first time, and they also wore red clothes in the same way as others. Pulling Cheng Xiaorou and running down the street, even the other Duxi disciples swept away their past sorrows and went out to play on the street.

"Bang...", beautiful fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the pedestrians on the street became more lively, laughing and laughing.

Ru Mu pointed to the sky and said excitedly: "Senior sister, it's so beautiful! This is the first time I've seen fireworks."

"Me too...". Seeing this, several female disciples nodded their heads one after another, and there was laughter and laughter for a while. A few people looked at the lanterns and the concentric knots, and they had a lot of fun.

Zhu Changqin kept staring at Cheng Xiaorou, holding the jade hairpin tightly in his hand, and never found a chance to send it out.

"It's so beautiful, I didn't expect to see fireworks in this place." Ji Nuan sighed sincerely, the smile on his face became thicker and thicker, revealing two shallow dimples.

Yu Man always looked at her, yes! It's so beautiful! Yu Man only thinks that her innocent smile is the most beautiful.

"Let's go, let's go ahead and have a look". Ji Nuan pulled her forward again, and it didn't take long to see Cheng Xiaorou and them. A few people said hello and walked around together before returning to the inn.

"Senior sisters and sisters, have you seen my son-in-law?" Jiang Yu hurriedly asked as soon as he saw them return.

"Didn't see it".

"Didn't you see it, did you see it"?

"Nope..."

Everyone said they didn't see it, and Jiang Yu was even more anxious to go back and forth. Seeing that Zhu Changqin and his party came back, they immediately greeted him, "Senior brothers, you can see my son-in-law"?

Zhu Changqin walked past him without answering, but Li Qingyuan snorted coldly: "Who doesn't know that your son-in-law is romantic, and I don't know where the gentle township is happy at this time!"

"Haha..."

Several Zhufeng disciples laughed, and Jiang Yu shook his head helplessly.

Cheng Xiaorou was also a little worried about Tang's wanton comfort, "Senior Brother Jiang, what's going on?"

"Senior sister, I haven't seen Childe since the afternoon, and I thought he didn't care if he was with you, but now... I'm worried that something has happened to him."

Several people immediately thought of the disappearance of the monk, Tang Yanyan said that his spiritual power was low, and if he encountered a demon, he would definitely not be able to escape, and everyone couldn't help but worry.

Zhu Changqin and Li Qingyuan glanced at each other, revealing an imperceptible treacherous smile, their plan succeeded.

After that, everyone went out one after another and began to look for Tang Yanyan, Cheng Xiaorou had already sent a message to Zijian and them, and the atmosphere became tense again.
