Han Xiaoxiao looked at the expressions of the two, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Xu Shi Lianyue and said, "Lianyue, there is a pastry shop over there, let's go and have a look!"

Without saying anything, she pulled Xu Shilianyue's hand and walked towards the pastry shop.

Dark Jiu looked at the back of Han Xiaoxiao who was running away with the reluctant Xu Shi Lianyue, and only then did he understand that Xu Shi Lianyue didn't care about him at all just now.

He couldn't help but sneer, he also thought too much, she was such a timid person, worried that she would be too late, how could she take into account his feelings?

Dark Nine accompanied them for an afternoon, because Xu Shilianyue always looked absent-minded, but she didn't buy anything.

At night, the autumn breeze was cool, Xu Shilian Yue lay on the bed for a long time and couldn't sleep, so she put on her clothes and went to the courtyard to stand, looking at the moth Meiyue in the sky.

In the past, Linghua always said that the rivers and lakes are not good, and they are not as good as the capital. Linghua always likes to stay in the capital and guard her father, only saying: I am afraid that after I go out, I will not be able to see the emperor for the last time.

Now that the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, it is rare for her to be filial.

Xu Shilianyue sat down against the stone bench in the corridor and sighed slightly. It's just that I don't know who cares about her in the capital now, and who misses her...... In short, she was homesick and it was really dangerous outside.

She thinks about her father, Linghua, and the pug of Taifu's house next door, every time she passes by Taifu's house, the pug will always wag its tail at her.

Dark Nine sat on the eaves, looked at Xu Shilianyue who sighed in the corridor, and pursed his lips slightly.

He rolled over and landed in front of Xu Shilianyue, she was visibly startled and glared at him in panic.

"I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here sighing and sighing?" asked Dark Jiu, already sitting beside her.

Xu Shilianyue looked at him with a complicated expression, now Dark Nine has lost the arrogant appearance of the daytime, if it weren't for the fact that he still has half a mask on his face, it would be a lot more pleasing to the eye.

"What about you, why are you hiding on the eaves in the middle of the night to peek at me?" Xu Shilian Yue said vigilantly.

Dark Nine only felt funny when he heard this, but he didn't laugh out loud, he said, "Yes, I just peeked at you." If you hadn't come out in the middle of the night, I wouldn't have had to get up from my bed and hide in a corner to protect you. ”

He was really much more approachable, Xu Shilian looked at him suspiciously and said, "Are you really here to protect me?"

"If I wanted to kill you, would you still be alive until now?" Dark Nine sneered.

In his eyes, the eldest lady in front of him was simply vulnerable, and he could destroy her with one finger.

"It's better to be so. Xu Shilianyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then, why are you protecting me?" Xu Shilianyue raised her eyes and asked, she didn't expect that her father would not find such a terrifying demon to protect her.

"Mission, the secret door sent me a task. Dark Nine said this, and his expression shook slightly. This was the last mission assigned to him by the secret door.

From now on, he is not a secret doorman.

Dark Nine still has regrets in his heart, he is the pride of the secret door, and the secret door is also his pride. The secret gate is based on the rivers and lakes because of him, if he hadn't slaughtered the Ming Gate, how could the secret door squeeze into one of the five major sects in the rivers and lakes?

It's just that now, he is no longer a secret doorman......

"Isn't the secret door a killer sect? How can it send out the task of protecting people?" Xu Shi Lianyue wondered, in the past, he had only heard that once the secret door received the killing order, the person on the killing order would not live for ten days, and none of the secret assassins missed.

Why is there an extra task of protection now?

"I don't know, but since it was sent to me, I'll do it. Dark Nine said gloomily.

Thinking that he was the number one assassin in the secret door, he actually wanted to protect people? Speaking of which, Dark Nine himself felt ridiculous.

It's still true!

"How long are you going to protect me?" Xu Shilianyue felt a lot more relaxed all over, and even her originally slightly dull tone became lighter at this time.

"I didn't say anything about the mission. Dark Nine smiled, and really saw the smile on Xu Shilianyue's face.

"What does that mean?"

"That's it, I can finish this task whenever I want. Dark Nine laughed.

Xu Shilianyue felt that she was not so happy. "And what if you suddenly want to kill me one day?"

"There won't be that day. ”

"Hmm? Why ????"

"Kill you, it's boring!" Dark Jiu laughed, and walked away.

Even if Xu Shi Lianyue was so angry that she stomped her feet in the back, she no longer panicked in her heart, as long as Dark Nine didn't kill her, she would be relieved.

In fact, Dark Nine did not leave, but sat on the eaves again, and watched Xu Shilianyue return to the house before he went back to his room.

On the second day, Dark Nine went to the market early to buy a new foal for Xu Shilianyue.

As he set off, Xu Shilian Yue looked at the dark red pony in front of him and sighed, although he felt very sorry for the horse he lost in the misty forest, he still had to ride a new horse on the road.

"We'll be able to go to Hikoku this afternoon. Dark Nine stepped onto the road.

Mingcheng is hundreds of miles in radius, and now you can reach the south gate of Mingcheng at noon, and then go to Yanguo, it is not far.

After walking only a few steps away, Xu Shilianyue couldn't help but say, "Shall we go back to find my horse?"

Dark Nine stopped and looked back at her, and said ruthlessly: "Since it has been lost, then it has been lost." ”

"However, I am reluctant to ......," Xu Shilianyue said aggrievedly.

"It's just a horse, now that you go to Yanguo, it's just the price of such a horse, you can't bear it, how can you go farther in the future?" said Dark Nine coldly.

Xu Shilianyue followed aggrievedly and said no more.

Along the way, her thoughts were disordered, and when she finally remembered that she should be the master, she had arrived at the south gate of Mingcheng.

If you want to say anything, it's too late. Xu Shilianyue's heart was shaking, and as soon as she got off the horse, she went into the restaurant and ate a lot.

Dark Nine remained silent from beginning to end, and turned a blind eye to her grievances.

At this time, there was a lot of noise at the door, and Han Xiaoxiao looked up and saw the three of them walking in with swords, talking and laughing.

"Eighteenth brother, don't say how simple this mission is, you don't have to do it, that beast is already too scared to move!" Wang Xiaosi, who was standing on the left, said with a smug smile.

"Wait one day for you to have such a ability, and it's not too late to talk about people's beasts. Dark Eighteen smiled happily, and at this time, his gaze swept over the room, and his gaze fell on Dark Nine.

Wang Xiaosi was interested, and continued to say triumphantly: "I'm just not bad, I want to be single-handed...... back then."

The person on the side turned his elbow and hit his arm, Wang Xiaosi stopped abruptly, looked at the dark nineteen suspiciously, but saw the other party raise his finger towards the table in the corner, he looked over, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
