The middle-aged man smiled slightly, and the thirteen sharp daggers were instantly closed, and when the middle-aged man took out his right arm from under the table, it was the delicate paper fan in his hand.

At that moment, Xu Chen really understood that if the other party wanted to kill him, I am afraid that there was really no need to wait until now, and what surprised Xu Chen even more was that the middle-aged man in front of him was probably the highest cultivation he had ever seen, even much higher than the cultivation of Lin Lingsu and Wan Xu.

"So what are you looking for me to do?"

Although Xu Chen was a little apprehensive in his heart, he still had to ask this sentence.

"Huh!"

The middle-aged man smiled helplessly, "I said last time, I have seen you and know you, but after we first met, I was on the stage, and you were sitting below." ”

Seeing that Xu Chen was still thinking about it, the middle-aged man was obviously quite distressed by his memory, so he smiled helplessly and said: "At the beginning, you went to buy something, and I was the one who sold you something, of course, to be more precise, I sold it to an old man." ”

Hearing this, Xu Chen was instantly stunned, silent for a moment, he unconsciously pointed his finger at the middle-aged man, and said with a slight stutter: "You, you, you are the auctioneer of the maple leaf pawnshop?"

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, but after hesitating for a moment, he sighed lightly, "But it's not accurate, the auctioneer of the maple leaf pawnshop is just my apparent identity, and my true identity can't tell you yet, I came to you this time, but I just want to tell you that you better not eat this myelin cleansing pill, you know?"

"Why?"

Xu Chen didn't know why, this middle-aged man came here from the distant town of Yong'an, could it be that he was telling him not to take medicine? This is obviously impossible.

The next moment, Xu Chen seemed to think of something again, and asked in a low voice: "Since you are from the Maple Leaf Pawnshop, then, then you should be the subordinate of Eunuch Zhang?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Xu Chen, who was unusually cautious, and said with a smile: "On the surface, yes, but, as I said, this is only a superficial identity. The reason why I didn't let you take those pills, to be honest, it's just a guess now, and I still need some time to verify. ”

"What speculation? is it about me?"

Xu Chen relaxed his spirit a little, picked up the wine glass and took a small sip, and then moistened his somewhat dry mouth.

"Not to be exact!"

The middle-aged man seemed to have something to say, "I can tell you a little bit, it's about that old man, the old man next to you at the beginning." ”

When the word "Lao Wu" came out of the middle-aged man's mouth, Xu Chen was really stunned.

However, before Xu Chen could ask anything, the middle-aged man said with a beautiful face: "My guess is that maybe Lao Wu is not dead, or there has never been such a person as Lao Wu." ”

"But ......"

Xu Chen casually glanced at the surrounding situation, as if he wanted to be more natural, but his puzzled eyes betrayed him completely, "However, I did see Uncle Wu's corpse at that time, not only me, everyone saw it." ”

At this time, his hand had already been taken off the short sword, and after a little contemplation, he said firmly: "Moreover, Uncle Wu has indeed been with me since I was a child, and only when I was in the Bai family, he ...... it."

While listening to Xu Chen's narration, the middle-aged man shook his head, "That's just the appearance, he is a servant of your family, this is true, but what he has done, do you know? No one knows, right? Moreover, a corpse does not represent anything, because what you see may be an illusion." ”

"You mean, Uncle Wu is still alive?"

Xu Chen was a little excited, and the next moment, he asked even more stupidly, "Then, is my mother still alive?"

"Well, of course, your mother is dead. ”

The middle-aged man seemed to be an immortal who knew everything, "And it's because of your mother's death that I began to suspect this." ”

Although he said it very easily, Xu Chen clearly saw a trace of indescribable doubt in his demeanor, and even skipped a trace of sadness in the middle of his speech.

And that trace of grief definitely did not come from the death of Xu Chen's mother, but something that Xu Chen was difficult to see.

"So. ”

The middle-aged man bit his lip, it seemed that it was difficult to speak, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally said it, I was afraid that he had to say it, so he did it, "So, I have one more thing to ask you to do, can you agree?"

"Huh

Because Xu Chen was still thinking about other things, he first subconsciously agreed, and then when he reacted, he understood what the other party was going to do.

Although it was quite difficult, in the end he nodded reluctantly and said, "Then, you have to tell me what is the matter, so that I can know if I can do it?"

This is Xu Chen's heart, through these two contacts, Xu Chen found that this middle-aged man did not seem to be much of a threat to himself, and it may be of great help to him to find out his life experience, so he tentatively agreed.

After nodding, the middle-aged man nodded slightly, "Well, well, in fact, for you before, this matter is naturally difficult, but for you now, I'm afraid it's not so difficult." ”

As he spoke, he flipped through his shirt, took out a piece of paper with a portrait on it, and gently spread it on the table, after which he pointed to the portrait and said, "Know this person?"

Xu Chen looked at the piece of paper for a long time, it was the appearance of an old man, he looked very kind, but there was a certain kind of understanding majesty between his eyebrows, as if the whole world belonged to him.

even made Xu Chen think of a sentence, "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister."

However, it is clear that the person on this piece of paper is not dressed as an emperor, and according to the illustration at the collar, it can be seen that he should be a Taoist.

The next moment, Xu Chen seemed to think of something, because he had seen Xiao Leng's words and expressions on the top of Muyun Peak, and he said tremblingly: "Could it be, could it be that this is Xuanwei Zhenren?"

It was obvious that the middle-aged man was still quite satisfied with Xu Chen's IQ, and then nodded, "Exactly, but, this is already a portrait from more than thirty years ago, maybe there will be some discrepancies, but I believe that when you see him, you should recognize it." ”

"You mean ......"

Xu Chen looked at the middle-aged man with wide eyes, his eyes were full of mustard and incomprehensible doubts, "You let me go to the voyeur master, master?"

Yes, for the current Xu Chen, Xuanwei Zhenren is naturally already his master, although he has not seen it yet, but the name of master and apprentice has been decided.

Nodding, the middle-aged man said, "Exactly, but you need to write down this appearance, because I can't give you this portrait." ”

"Why?"

Xu Chen frowned, "I mean, why do you want me to spy on the master, and ......"

"And I'm still an outsider, an outsider you don't know. ”

The middle-aged man continued Xu Chen's words.

Facing the other party's honesty, Xu Chen immediately nodded, and said in his heart, since you know, why do you want me to do such a thing.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man smiled slightly, "Because I believe that you went back to do it, this matter not only has something to do with me, but may even have something to do with you, if my guess becomes a reality, maybe you will take care of your mother's murderer." ”

Xu Chen shook his head, with a fierce look on his face, "The one who killed my mother should be Bai Qiantian." ”

"Humph!"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "That's your self-righteous idea, did you see Lao Bai kill your mother with his own hands?"

"No, but, I believe it's him. ”

Xu Chen replied firmly, from the moment he knew the cause of his mother's death, Bai Qiantian's name was like a thorn in his heart.

Even, sometimes, he was a little afraid that the murderer was not in vain, although he didn't know the reason for this feeling, but it was very strong.

The middle-aged man looked at Xu Chen and shook his head, as if he was looking at a helpless child, "I said, that's your wishful thinking, not a fact." ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man changed his words, "Even, I can say that perhaps the most unlikely person to kill your mother is Bai Qiaotian, because he has no reason." ”

"How do you know he has no reason?"

Xu Chen glanced at the middle-aged man hatefully, his clothes hated the appearance of the house and the black, "When he said that I was imprisoned in the Bai family, did he have a reason? When that night, on my way home, the swordsman who followed me, did he have a reason? Also, the ghost five who had been killed by me, didn't he always want to kill me? Does this mean that he has no reason?"

Because the more he talked, the more excited he became, Xu Chen's face swelled and reddened.

"Alas!

The middle-aged man sighed, "Yes, Lao Bai wants to kill you, there is a reason, but it is absolutely meaningless for him to kill your mother, and I vouch for this with my personality." ”

"How much is your personality worth?"

Of course, this was Xu Chen's heart, and he poured a sip of wine again with hatred, because he drank too quickly, and choked.

After adjusting slightly, he cleared his throat and said calmly: "You, since you are an old white, does that mean you know Bai Qiantian?" The middle-aged man nodded, not denying it.

Xu Chen smiled calmly, "Then why should I trust you? Maybe you helped him lie to me?"

"Huh!"

The middle-aged man smiled helplessly, "If that's the case, why don't I kill you right now, and tell you so much?"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man looked around with cold eyes, as if he had made up some determination, "Okay, then I'll tell you now, as long as you really see the master, when you see his appearance, maybe, I mean maybe, maybe you will understand something." ”

"Master?"

Xu Chen's face changed, yes, Xuanwei Zhenren is his master at the moment, but when the young man said the word "master" just now, he didn't add the word "you" in front of him at all.

"So, you're ......"
