Li Yuanshan said, "Protect the cultivator realm, protect Lingyun City." Now, Hou Ruoting's cultivation has not healed, and Lingyun's army on the front line also needs better command. I will help them in a new capacity. And don't worry, after the war is won, I won't ask Lingyun for another half point. If Hou Ruoting can give me a place to live in the city, then maybe I will feel great happiness. ”

Wan Peng nodded. Li Yuanshan got up at this time and said, "Wanpeng, the way you want to go, maybe I can't help you." But, from what I've told you about these experiences of mine, I want you to understand one thing. That is, a lot of things aren't what you think. ”

After speaking, Li Yuanshan signaled to everyone, left the house, got up and flew away. Wan Peng watched him go out and didn't say a word. Hou Ruoting said at this time, "I really didn't expect that there was a peaceful color on Lingyun Mountain at the beginning, but there were such waves and undercurrents in the dark. ”

Wan Peng smiled bitterly. He took a deep breath, had a brief conversation with Hou Ruoting for a while, and then asked Xie Fei for a room. He was feeling very tired, and he still had some injuries on his body that had not healed, and he really needed to rest. In addition, since Li Yuanshan asked him to see that picture just now, it was indeed a little strange, and he also needed to study it with Liyang.

"Do you think it's true?" Liyang didn't express his attitude to this question first, but asked Wan Peng.

Wan Peng wasn't sure. "This pattern feels like it was drawn casually, but there is a vague sense of some formations, and other characteristics of the sky. If Li Yuanshan has been to other Xiao, he has only been to the Demon Realm Qingxiao. In the picture he gave, there were no graphic features of the demon world. ”

Li Yang said at this time, "I actually think that this picture may really be related to Lingyun Secret Jane. I've been studying the Secret Slip ever since you read the Secret Slip. The Secret Jane is definitely not just words, and in its text, I mean, there is a key hidden in the font and arrangement of the text that you saw at that time, which I have not been able to crack and understand. Perhaps, only by unlocking this key can we truly discover the secret in the Lingyun Secret Jane. ”

"Then you mean, Li Yuanshan has unraveled?" Wan Peng didn't seem to believe it, "He's unlikely." Otherwise, what he saw would not have been a broken picture. Of course, it is not excluded that he only showed me part of it. However, the part he showed me, the broken end of the figure, did not have any artificial cutting rules, so I think it should be the one he saw at the time. ”

Wan Peng paused, "Perhaps, for some reason, Li Yuanshan did see this figure at the beginning. If what he says is true, then this graphic is indeed enough to arouse people's interest. A sect's treasure Lingyun Secret Jane, after reading it, is just a broken graphic, and it is definitely a piece of news that makes people think about it. For example, a treasure map, such as a certain exercise secret. ”

Liyang said, "Actually, I think so too. And, in a way, I think the graphics are real. Because I always associate something that I've studied with this diagram involuntarily. It's a gut feeling, and when I want to feel it in detail, I don't have any definite evidence. ”

Wan Peng nodded, "Hmm." Maybe this will give us a new way of thinking. Either way, it's better to get it back first. ”

Wan Peng's expression became serious at this time, and he was silent and did not speak. Of course, Liyang also knew what he was thinking, and he didn't say anything for a while.

In the end, it was Wan Peng who broke the silence, "What do you think, what will Chixiao be like?"

Liyang was stunned. "What is it? I think it's going to be similar to the other Xiaoxiao. After all, Chixiao is also a Xiao, is there an essential difference from Xuanxiao Qingxiao and Xuanxiao?"

Wan Peng shook his head at this time, "That's right." So what do you think their people would be like?"

Liyang said, "I don't know about this. It is even said that Chixiao is not a human being. By the way, you can try talking to Xiao Hei and see if he can send some useful messages to your brain. ”

Wan Peng smiled bitterly, "Actually, I've already tried. It doesn't work to do so. Blackie is a dog who grew up in the Demon Realm, and he doesn't have much to offer me about Chixiao. Back then, after Sixiang left Chixiao, he actually didn't go back. ”

Liyang breathed a sigh of relief at this time, "In that case, it's better to be at peace with the situation and act when you see the opportunity." ”

They talked about this when there was a knock on the door just outside. When she came in, it was Hou Ruoting. Although Hou Ruoting is weak now, there is no big problem with her free movement. At this time, seeing Wan Peng alone in the house, he gently closed the door, "Can I stay alone with you for a while?"

Wan Peng nodded. "What do you command?"

Hou Ruoting frowned slightly, "When I see you, can I only command?" Besides, do you really only regard me as a senior sister?"

Of course, Wan Peng knew what Hou Ruoting meant. Hou Ruoting's attitude towards him has always been very clear, but she already has a place in her heart, and she doesn't want Hou Ruoting to be more sad. At this time, instead of showing closeness and warmth with Hou Ruoting, but in the end she couldn't choose her, it was better not to let her have a vision.

"Not only a senior sister, but also a friend. Wan Peng said very plainly, "A friend worthy of trust and trust." ”

Hou Ruoting smiled bitterly, "Actually, I look forward to your coming back every day, and I also want you to come back every day and never leave, stay in Lingyun City, stay by my side." But every time, it's you who come back and make a comeback, hook up the hope in my heart, and then leave again. ”

Wan Peng half turned around, "What Senior Sister said is the truth, but this is also determined by our different missions. Senior sister is now the lord of Lingyun City, and the affairs of Lingyun City are just like the affairs of Lingyun Mountain at the beginning, and Senior Sister has full authority. And I just want to contribute to the sect and not let the Lingyun Secret Jane fall into the hands of thieves. And as for between us...... ......" Wan Peng paused for a moment, and then continued, "The other feelings between us, I think, will not lead to anything. ”

Hou Ruoting said, "Why is there no result? I never understand what your starting point is when you say this. Is there anything I can't do that you ask for?"

Wan Peng said, "Not really. It's just because, when I make a decision, it's not you who choose. I have to respect my choices and also want to be accountable to both those who choose and those who don't. ”

Hou Ruoting took a deep breath, and tears seemed to flicker in her eyes. "Well, well. I know you're leaving, so get some rest. When you leave, if there's nothing wrong, you don't have to tell me. With that, she bit her lip and turned away.

When the door closed again, Wan Peng couldn't help but sigh. I don't know why, he actually remembered the scene when he competed with Hou Ruoting, Hou Ruoting's clothes were torn, and then hugged him.

Wan Peng didn't discuss anything with Liyang anymore, but lay down on the bed by himself. He slept well this night, and slept through the afternoon, one night, until the next morning. Xie Ting had already brought breakfast and sat on the side waiting for him. Seeing him wake up, he said, "Senior Sister Hou's injury, after my brother and I examined it, is no longer serious. The front line reported another good news, and the Jinxiao army was defeated and retreated. ”

Wan Peng seemed to have expected these things, so there were no mood swings. He walked up to Xie Ting and took Xie Ting's hand, "I've worked hard for you these days." ”

Xie Ting smiled, smiling very calmly, but she seemed to be a little aggrieved. But she didn't say much, "When are we leaving, when are we leaving?" I want to say goodbye to my brother when the time comes. ”

Wan Peng thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay." You and your brother should stay a few more days. As soon as you came back this time, you were busy with Senior Sister Hou Ruoting's injury, and you didn't spend much time alone with Xie Fei. I decided not to rush away for the time being. ”

When he said this, Xie Ting was stunned, "Why?"

Wan Peng said, "As soon as we come, we will go to Chixiao next." I always felt that it was much more dangerous there, so I had to be prepared. Recently, I've been very tired and want to take a few days off. Also, and more importantly, I'm going to go to the front lines. Now that those troops in Jinxiao can't go back, I want to discuss with the people on the front line whether it is possible to hand over some cities to some Jinxiao people who are more peaceful according to the situation, so that they can live. Otherwise, all of them will die in the war, which is too cruel. ”

Xie Ting smiled slightly, "Okay." It's all up to you. You eat. Then I'm going to help my brother. When are you going to go to the front?"

Wan Peng said, "I'll go after eating." If there is any situation, I will come back to you. In addition, the scale of your brother's current Baicaotang, I don't think it's small. Still behind Lingyun, I'm afraid that I can't use it somewhat. You ask him, if he needs to have an idea, I will help him build a small city, just like Lingyun City. ”

Xie Ting nodded and didn't say anything. She could actually feel that Wan Peng was under a lot of pressure right now, because Wan Peng obviously wanted to finish a lot of things perfectly before this departure. In the past, although he would have explained something to people, it would not be like this time.

She wanted to comfort Wan Peng, but she also knew that Wan Peng's strength was not to need anyone's comfort. Moreover, she really couldn't think of any good words to comfort her.

Wan Peng went for seven days this time. In the past seven days, Hou Ruoting has basically recovered, did not stay too long in Lingyun City, and returned directly to the front line of the battlefield. Xie Fei did not agree with Wan Peng's proposal to rebuild a small city. First, he doesn't want to develop much power, and second, the current scale is actually enough. In addition, the increase in numbers now is largely due to the war, and once the war is over, there will be fewer wounded and sick here.

On the eighth day, Wan Peng returned. He said he wanted to rest, but he still had a kind of exhaustion on his face.
