Candlelit room.

Ouyang Xuan'er, who was wearing a green shirt, had her beautiful eyes slightly closed, her lips closed lightly, and she didn't say a word.

Su Yan looked at the night outside the window and was silent.

The whole room was silent for a while.

Outside the room, the summer cicadas chirped one after another, squeaking, which seemed to cover up the sudden silence between the two.

"Thank you, Su Yan" I don't know how long it was quiet, Ouyang Xuan'er suddenly spoke.

"Thank me for what"

"I've never thought about this before"

"Is it?"

"Actually, I should know this truth the most, right?"

"Xuan'er"

Su Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at her quietly.

"What is the purpose of spiritual practice?"

Ouyang Xuan'er was stunned for a moment.

No one had ever asked her what she was doing spiritually, and no one had thought about it.

"I don't know"

"I think that spiritual practice is the power to choose"

"What do you mean?"

"I heard Master say that spiritual cultivators are heavenly people, and their lifespan is longer than that of mortals, not to mention their strength."

"That's true"

"Isn't it unfair?"

"Hmm"

Su Yan looked at her eyes, as if she had hidden a pool of autumn water, calm and waveless.

"Don't think so much, Su Yan"

Ouyang Xuan'er got up, carried Su Yan on his back, and slowly walked out.

At the door, she stopped.

"The world is not fair"

Su Yan seemed to hear her say this.

The voice was slight, I don't know if it was for myself or for him.

Squeak....

The door closed softly, and there was silence in the room again.

Su Yan lowered his head, glanced at the scroll in his arms, and then looked out the window.

The night is getting darker.

"I don't know what Master is doing now."

Next.

Tianluan City, the city lord's mansion.

As a famous figure in Jingjiang County, the mansion of Xia Baiqiu, the city lord of Tianluan City, can really be called luxurious.

A golden wall, stretched for I don't know how far, and I couldn't see the end at a glance.

The mahogany gate, several feet high, stands majestically.

Two lions made of white jade, with blazing eyes, like living creatures, lay majestic in front of the gate.

On the steps, six guards in silver armor, holding red spears in their hands, stood in two rows, their faces serious. What's even more bizarre is that the spiritual power fluctuations emitted by each person's body have the strength of the eighth order of the Spirit Cultivation Realm.

Su Yan and Ouyang Xuan'er came to the city lord's mansion and stopped.

Before coming to the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Yu'er was worried about her family, and despite Ouyang Xuan'er's retention, she said goodbye to them early in the morning. Before leaving, Su Yan agreed with her that if he encountered trouble, he would report Su Yan's name and come to the City Lord's Mansion immediately.

Thinking of Liu Yu'er, Su Yan had a headache, and this girl didn't know what was going on.

Then he looked at the City Lord's Mansion in front of him and remembered Ouyang Xuan'er's words.

Listening to her, this Tianluan City Lord is the sworn brother of her father Ouyang Yanshan, and the relationship is good, and now Taiyan City has changed, and the most hopeful thing is Xia Baiqiu, whom she calls her uncle.

The guard at the gate saw that there was a stop in front of him, and asked:

"Who?"

"The daughter of the city lord of Taiyan City, Ouyang Xuan'er, ask to see"

When the guard heard that it was the daughter of the city lord, his face suddenly changed, and he said kindly:

"I'm going to report it"

Then one of the guards pushed open the door and walked in.

After a while, the vermilion gate slowly opened, and out of it came a middle-aged man in a white gold-patterned dress, with an elegant face, but with a majesty, presumably this was Xia Baiqiu, the lord of Tianluan City.

When his gaze fell on Ouyang Xuan'er, he became extremely soft, and said with a smile:

"My precious niece, I am watched so closely by your father, how can I have time to visit your uncle today?"

Ouyang Xuan'er's face was solemn, he gave him a salute, and said softly:

"Uncle, Taiyan Castle, something happened"

After Xia Baiqiu's originally soft gaze listened, he instantly became solemn, looked at them and said, "There are many people outside, come in and talk about it."

Then he led Su Yan and Ouyang Xuan'er in.

Entering the door, the field of vision suddenly widened, all kinds of strange flowers and plants were planted all over the courtyard, and on several rockeries, the rushing water faintly came. As far as the eye can see, there are dozens of pavilions standing, just like a small city.

Walk through the winding courtyard path to a room deep in the courtyard, where there are a few red chairs and a row of bookshelves full of yellowed books, which looks like a study.

Xia Baiqiu waved his hand, and the silver-armored guards behind him immediately retreated, gently closed the door, and stood at the door.

"Who is this?" he looked at Su Yan.

"This is the benefactor who met me on the road and rescued me from the monster."

Ouyang Xuan'er replied.

Xia Baiqiu showed a hint of surprise on his face, looked at Su Yan and asked:

"At a young age, he has the strength of the seventh order of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, dare to ask which famous family Xiaoyou is from"

Su Yan shook his head:

"I grew up in the wilderness of the mountains, and I am not a famous person"

Xia Baiqiu waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Xiaoyou is humble, when I was as old as you, I had just embarked on the road of spiritual cultivation, so talented and chivalrous, I am afraid that I will be the head of a famous family in the future."

In the words, it has been determined what kind of famous son he is.

Su Yan didn't explain any more, and turned his head to look at Ouyang Xuan'er.

"Uncle, the situation in Taiyan City is strange and dangerous now, and it can't be delayed any longer."

Ouyang Xuan'er was already a little anxious in her words.

Xia Baiqiu saw Ouyang Xuan'er, who had always been quiet and calm, and was so anxious in his words, he also saw that the situation was serious, put on a straight face, and said:

"Tell me what you know, and don't leave it out"

Ouyang Xuan'er nodded, and then told everything about Taiyan City and what happened after meeting Su Yan. But the matter behind the white moth banshee was omitted, after all, the content involved was too shocking.

After finishing speaking, Xia Baiqiu's originally elegant and calm face disappeared, and was replaced by an incomparably solemn complexion.

There was silence for a quarter of an hour before he spoke slowly:

"The evil method of Daogen Soul Feeding has long been destroyed by the royal family, and it has been unheard of for decades except for the records in the book, if someone colludes with the monster to perform this method, the power involved, I am afraid it is not something we can deal with."

"Then what should we do" Ouyang Xuan'er frowned, if there was no way to even Xia Baiqiu, by the time the county-level officials sent someone, I am afraid that Taiyan City would have become a dead city.

"Got it"

Xia Baiqiu got up suddenly, as if he had thought of something, looked at them and said:

"The Lingwei of Tianluan City was in retreat some time ago, broke through the level of the Mixed Yuan Realm, and was promoted to the Heavenly Realm, counting the time, it happened to be the last two days"

Su Yan was stunned, this is too coincidental.

Ouyang Xuan'er didn't think so much, looked at Xia Baiqiu and said:

"Then let's go and ask him"

Xia Baiqiu was just about to nod, but he heard a loud bang outside the house, as if he had been hit by a meteorite, the whole room was shaking, and then there was a deafening old man's roar:

"Miscellaneous Su Yan, get out of here!"
