Li Qingyan pondered for a while: "I don't know. I can't believe it or not with what I know about him. You know I've only met him twice — once when the Secret Service sent me to a training camp in Northern Siberia, and once before I went back to Beishan to go to the City Investment Bank. ”

Pei Yuanxiu stared at the candle flame: "I don't believe it." When I called my father about the association, he suggested that I, Lao Lin, might have felt that his future was hopeless, so he turned to America — saying that the top leaders were worried about that. But with what I know about him, I don't think it's likely. ”

"He's a very aloof guy and he's almost not interested in anything. You know, he and I mentioned that your personality is very similar to his. ”

Li Qingyan raised his eyebrows in surprise and did not comment.

"But you still have to hide it from him. Alas. Pei Yuanxiu sighed lowly, "I hope that after this matter passes, it turns out that I am right and they are wrong." He has the grace of knowing me. ”

The two were silent for a while, each thinking about their own thoughts. Li Yunxin raised his eyes and looked out from the wide windows of the house, and saw that the colors above the Beishan Barrier were becoming more and more brilliant. Even through the heavy rain curtain, the streets of the city can be colored.

Pei Yuanxiu suddenly asked him: "Qingyan, to be honest, what kind of extent have you reached now?" I know I shouldn't ask, but the next few days will be very dangerous—I need to know what kind of situation you can endure before I can plan for the next step." ”

Li Qingyan smiled. guess Pei Yuanxiu should be touched by the things in heaven now.

The monks are fighting against the desolate spirits, and among them should be Zhou Yunting. Zhou Yunting didn't use his magic powers when he dealt with him that night, but he actually tied one of his hands. Now he is in the heavens, and he is not the same as that night. What if you were as free then as you are now?

He thought for a moment and said, "Enron is useless to me. ”

"You know the principle of Enron - the demon race has made a humanoid body similar to a human, but it will lack or add some organs. These organs have nothing to do with the demon's supernatural powers, but are more similar to the self-compensatory mechanism of an organism. But the pineal gland is a thing that all the demon races have shapeshifted, and modern scientific research shows that some hormones secreted by the pineal gland will affect the magic powers of the demon race, and some other factors belong to the occult field, which cannot be explained for the time being...... So Enron mainly acts on the pineal gland. ”

"But my own metabolic function or my body's defense mechanisms may be too strong...... After the drug entered my body, it was quickly broken down. ”

Pei Yuanxiu was surprised, it was the first time he had heard Li Qingyan say such a thing. So I couldn't help but ask, "...... How fast?"

Li Qingyan smiled: "It's so fast that I can't even feel it." ”

"I can't use spells, you know that. I don't have much spiritual power in my body, maybe it's the same as a lower seventh-level. But the practice ...... Practicing the techniques of each school can make my physical body stronger. When you are practicing, you are very taboo about the miscellaneous methods, because the nature of the spiritual power of different exercises is different, and it may clash with each other and lead to madness. But for me, there is no such hidden danger, and my body does not refuse to come. ”

"My body has been getting stronger over the years. But if you want to ask me how strong I am......" Li Qingyan spread his hands, "I don't have any concept myself." I haven't felt my limits yet. Zhou Yunting is the strongest opponent I have met in recent years, and his Paiyun palm can hurt me, but at that time, I just wanted him to hurt me - if I want, the muscles will come back to life, so fast that I can't see the wound. ”

"Besides, the ban doesn't seem to work for me. Of course, I haven't tried a third or second level monk. ”

Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a while: "That day, Zhou Yunting said that your physical body may have reached the realm of the upper fourth level, look at it this way...... Maybe it's already level three. You make me a little envious and jealous. ”

Li Qingyan smiled and said, "What's the use? In the final analysis, I can't use magic. If we were both now sealed in a mass of steel and sunk into the Mariana Trench, and you had a way to get out, I wouldn't be able to. And...... There's not just magic in the world, man. The current hydrogen bomb is much more powerful than the previous atomic bomb, and I don't think I'll be able to survive if I fire it. ”

"Oh, so now you think only a hydrogen bomb can threaten you. Pei Yuanxiu stood up with a smile, went to the wine cabinet and took half a bottle of wine and two glasses, "Speaking of which, I still have something to ask you - you have cultivated so many methods, tell me about the Chongxu Sect." ”

"I've been cultivating the third level of the mirror view recently, and I always feel that it is very similar to the Qi refining kung fu of the Chongxu Sect. I went to check, and found out that the Chongxu Sect used to be a branch of the Lotus Flower Sect—"

Li Qingyan watched him pour half a glass of wine for himself, and sighed in his heart. Pei Yuanxiu didn't really want to ask him, a "spell miscellaneous", he just wanted to let himself drink with him. And like when I was a teenager, I was not allowed to use my magic power to metabolize alcohol as soon as possible.

Because today is her mother's death, she is not in a good mood.

Li Qingyan had to pick up the wine glass and touch it with him for a while, and took a sip. In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't get drunk or not—if he uses his supernatural powers, he may experience the feeling of "half-drunk", and if he doesn't, alcohol can't stay in his body for even a second, just like Enron.

He has eaten and drunk water this month, and he has already replenished some of the wear and tear of his body - such as the slight wear and tear of the body surface when he moves, and the slight amount of water he exhales when he breathes. Eat and drink again, and you will have to ...... Excretion.

That kind of thing is dirty, and he doesn't like it.

But I can't say anything about it. In the past, when he decided to deal with Zhou Lihuang in the advanced training class, he first made friends with some people. Among them is Pei Yuanxiu. At that time, associating with him was purely for the sake of exploitation, and he had to be vain in the matter of drinking, which made him think that alcohol was effective for him.

As a result, I found out that this person was really good, and he turned from a fake friend to a real friend. Now I can't confess anymore, so I have to continue to pretend. Fortunately, Pei Yuanxiu is not a greedy person, and the last time they drank together was on this day last year.

Pei Yuanxiu's alcohol consumption was shallow, and he began to be obviously excited after only drinking three and a half glasses. The topic shifted from the past secrets of the Chongxu Sect and some private events in the bureau to the past between the two. He grabbed the bottle and waved his hand: "...... I thought I had something to say to him during that time, and there was nothing to say. He's selfless, don't say it's my mother, it was me at the time, and he wouldn't care. ”

"Do you think my mother really died at the hands of those Americans? ha...... The Amerika agent grabbed her and threatened to die together, what did he say, 'Shu Xin will understand me' - and the bullet passed through her left chest and struck the agent in the shoulder. She's dead, the agent is alive, and then asks a bunch of things......"

"But it's only been two years since I understood...... What could you have done at that time? In that special case, there was no need for spells and prohibitions, and the person would have been out of trouble a few seconds later. Xiao Wu died last year, and I killed him with my own hands. I didn't sleep well for three days in a row, and finally realized that it was exactly the same as my mother's situation at that time - either Xiao Wu died, or the case started all over again, and there might never be a chance again. What should I do?"

Li Qingyan sighed: "You always have to make a choice, but there are too few choices." ”

Pei Yuanxiu leaned back heavily: "It's too little, I don't have a fucking choice at all - do you know that I have a fiancée." ”

“...... Huh?" Li Qingyan was stunned, "When?"

"Last year. Don't blame me for not telling you, I'm too embarrassed to say that. Pei Yuanxiu began to grab the wine bottle and drink, "Yu Peiyan of the Ministry of Defense, his granddaughter." Qingyan, do you know why the people of the Promotion Association are targeting my father?"

Li Qingyan thought for a while: "Because he has a tough style." Many demon clans don't like him. ”

"Hmph...... No matter how tough he is, he is only the chief of security in Beishan, and when he is old enough to unload his armor and go back to the Lianhua Sect, what is the use of the people of the Promotion Association to kill him? Let me tell you that it is because of Yu Peiyan, there is a rumor above, and he wants to try to raise one or two high-level monks to the upper level. ”

"If this thing really happens, he will be able to influence the big policies of the country and even the entire alliance...... At that time, the demon clan in the alliance will be even more miserable. That's why they wanted to kill him - I got engaged to Yu Peiyan's granddaughter last year because of this rumor. But do you know what that girl looks like, why I'm so embarrassed to mention it to you?"

Pei Yuanxiu glared at him and pointed to the TV set turned off in the living room: "Those drag racers on the news - there is her inside." ”

So Li Qingyan could understand his feelings. A few days ago, he also met a few "rampaging knights", and knew that although those "young people" were only five or six years younger than him or Pei Yuanxiu, they were completely different from "adults" and "children".

Now the two of them are talking in the dark about the crisis of race, the country, and even the whole world, and those "children" should be indulging in lust or still running wild in the dark. Even at the same age, he himself had been trained in a training camp in Northern Siberia and was occasionally sent on high-risk, near-suicidal missions. And Pei Yuanxiu began to familiarize himself with the internal affairs of the Special Intelligence Bureau and the Lianhua Sect, and began to prepare for the future independence.

What Yuan Xiu dislikes is not the so-called "arranged marriage". For children from a family of cultivators, there is never such a thing as "free love". Even a person like Lin Xiaoman, if he really has any results with himself, he will definitely pay a heavy price. Because generation after generation has proven that it is only possible to give birth to stronger offspring if two people with strong souls are united. It is precisely because the cultivators have been doing this for thousands of years that they have not diluted all people's souls to the extreme.

His father, Pei Bolu, was also a maverick when he was young, and married Tang Shuxin, a woman who was considered well-qualified among mortals, but was considered an inconspicuous child in the family.

Later, he killed her in the course of his official duties...... Could it be that at that time, he had already begun to regret and start to think that this woman was dragging him down?

Li Qingyan sighed. Pei Yuanxiu has long known that when it comes to choosing a mate, his choices are limited. Therefore, it was once said that even if it is an "arranged marriage", as long as that person does not disgust him, he can slowly get along and cultivate some common ground, so as not to turn the future days into torture.

There was even a time when he thought that person might be Lin Xiaoman.

But now the granddaughter of the Minister of Defense ...... It seemed disgusting to him. Essentially, there are two types of people.

Li Qingyan didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to snatch the wine bottle from his hand and put it on the coffee table. Pei Yuanxiu didn't object, just leaned on the sofa and stared at him drunkenly. It was time for him to realize that he had overdosed, but seemed to crave such short-lived, impossibly sustainable moments of ease.

He patted himself on the head: "I'm drunk, am I." Never your opponent. Alas...... Li Qingyan, what is your real body?"

Li Qingyan smiled: "Didn't you already show it when you first arrived at the advanced class, it's Yan." But at the time, I told the group that it was a black bird. Swallows are also called Xuanniao. The Divine Destiny Xuanniao descended to give birth to Shang - I am their ancestor, so majestic. ”

Pei Yuanxiu grinned and slapped his knees: "you, you're not my ancestor." You and I forgot if it was - the demon clan didn't ask you to manifest yourself in the refresher class, but used magic to make you manifest. But the spell didn't work at the time, so you said, 'I'll suffer myself,' and turned into a swallow. ”

"I'll tell you, those people didn't believe that you were really Yan. You have been studying you for three years in the refresher course, and you have been in the training camp in Northern Siberia for another three years. Now you have a file to remember - the real body is unknown, and it is suspected that Yan. ”

Li Qingyan smiled: "Huh? Then you tell me now that these are violations of discipline." But they don't believe me, and I can't help it...... I can only turn into a swallow, then I feel like I am. I also wanted to figure out what was going on with me – I wished they could help me unravel the mystery. ”

Pei Yuanxiu nodded at him: "Arrogant again...... You look low-key, but you're arrogant at heart. Who are you and me? It's all small people...... There are some secrets on the little people that arouse everyone's interest, but later I find out that it is unclear and time-consuming, so forget it. There are so many secrets in the world, who has to keep an eye on us? I used to be arrogant...... I think it's the pride of the sky. But I never thought that one day my father would kill my mother and sell me again - the buyer was a rampaging knight hahaha......"

He laughed three times, then abruptly stopped.

The two sat opposite each other and were silent for a while, and Pei Yuanxiu let out a mouthful of white gas like an arrow: "I was drunk just now." ”

He sobered himself up. Li Qingyan smiled: "It's not bad to get drunk once in a while." ”

Then he also pretended to let out a sigh of relief.

Pei Yuanxiu, who had sobered up, looked at him: "Qingyan, have you ever liked anyone, even for a moment?"

"Yes. Li Qingyan stood up, "But I won't tell you." Because I'm not drunk now. Tonight is a good opportunity to take him away, and tell the promotion committee that because the Dragon King is crossing, the Secret Service is also in chaos. ”

Pei Yuanxiu pointed to the ground: "I brought him back and locked him in the basement." ”

Then he also stood up and looked at Li Qingyan: "Take care." My friend. ”
