In Nangong Mansion, the housekeeper hurriedly walked into the house.

"Miss, Master Xiuyu has been arrested...... Just now when I was on the road, I saw the city lord with a group of Jingwei and took Xiuyu Gongzi away, and there was an excessively beautiful little girl, which caused an uproar in the city. ”

Nangong Ruoxi looked surprised, stunned for a moment, and then asked urgently: "What? Xiuyu was arrested? Why did the city lord arrest him? He hasn't left Nangong City yet?"

The housekeeper nodded and replied: "I heard what the people said, it seems that the prince of Xiuyu has some precious mastery that has attracted the attention of the city lord, so he was taken away - and by the side of the prince of Xiuyu, I don't know when there was an extra girl, that girl is so beautiful, I heard that the city lord took it personally, kidnapped the girl, and coerced the prince of Xiuyu to compromise." ”

...... "Suffered!"

Nangong Ruoxi's eyes were worried, and she said to herself: "I have long known that you have a peerless ...... I didn't expect Uncle Bai to attach so much importance to the mastery, and he would do it himself, which is difficult to do. ”

She quickly raised her head and said to the housekeeper: "You go to see the forbidden land, without my order, no one is allowed to let Xiaomo and Qianchen out, I must go to the City Lord's Mansion and rescue Xiuyu!"

The butler nodded in response.

Nangong Ruoxi hurriedly left the mansion and rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

.........

The City Lord's Mansion, Xiu Yu and Xi were arranged into the study.

Bai Zhan smiled lightly: "Boy, write out the mastery, when you write it, I will let you go." ”

Xiu Yu looked calm, did not speak, took Xi's little hand, and after entering the house, he closed the door.

"City Lord, Miss Nangong is here......"

Fauber's voice came from behind.

？？？

Bai Zhan's face was surprised, he was slightly stunned, and then frowned in a low voice, and asked, "Ruoxi is here, why did you come at this time?"

Fu Bo replied: "A few days ago, Xiu Yu has been living in Nangong's house, and he must have a good relationship with Miss Nangong, so he should be here for him." ”

Bai Zhan nodded, and after thinking for a while, he walked towards the main hall.

In the main hall, Nangong Ruoxi paced back and forth, holding her little hand from time to time, and she was so anxious that she could only whisper over and over again in her heart...... Xiuyu must not fall into the hands of Uncle Bai.

Soon, Bai Zhan and Fu Bo walked over, accompanied by a hearty laugh.

"Heheha... Ruoxi is here, how do you remember to come to see Uncle Bai? In the past few days since my uncle came back, I have been looking forward to Ruoxi coming to my uncle's place to sit down. ”

"Uncle White..."

Nangong Ruoxi was stunned, hurriedly bent down, and responded politely: "Uncle Bai, I haven't seen you for two years, is it okay for Uncle Bai to be outside?"

"Hahaha..." Bai Zhan laughed again, his face was full of smiles, and his subconscious spiritual sense was released, but an inch away from Nangong Ruoxi's body, he was actually blocked by isolation. His laughter suddenly froze, his eyes showed a slight shock, his eyes slowly widened, and he blurted out a startled question: "Ruoxi... Your cultivation... You've broken through to the sixth order?"

Nangong Ruoxi's body surface appeared an extremely thin layer of cyan spiritual power, and a mysterious artistic conception involuntarily flowed out of her body, her expression was stunned at first, and then she reacted, and quickly put away the suddenly uncontrollable power, and replied: "Yes, Uncle Bai... A few days ago, Ruoxi had an epiphany and successfully comprehended the mysterious essence of the sixth order, and now he is the spiritual power of the early stage of the sixth order. ”

Fu Bo's old and cloudy eyes showed a deep envy... and jealousy that even he himself could not perceive.

The people of the Nangong family are all terrifyingly talented, and each generation is not a weakling, they didn't expect that the young Nangong Ruoxi, who is also a woman, has broken through the vast majority of qi refiners, and in her life, she will not be able to reach the advanced realm.

When Bai Zhan heard this, he was silent for a long time, and once again felt the horror of Nangong's family.

He has traveled the world in the past two years, and his realm has reached an unfathomable point...... But the feminine woman standing in front of him now had reached this realm nearly twenty years ahead of him.

In addition to being shocked in his heart, his expression was even more embarrassed, and he sighed several times secretly.

After a long while, Bai Zhan regained his expression, his spiritual sense was withdrawn, and he smiled lightly: "I don't know if Ruoxi came over today, is there anything important?"

"Don't hide it from Uncle Bai..."Nangong Ruoxi said continuously: "I know that Uncle Bai is obsessed with the pursuit of a higher realm, so he has only traveled out in the past two years to find an opportunity to break through...... Xiuyu is my confidant and friend, we were born and died together, he also helped Xiaomo absorb the demonic energy, and even at the bottom of the god and demon well, he resisted the black water crocodile and cultivators for Qianchen, and helped her obtain the relics, I beg Uncle Bai, don't hurt Xiuyu......"

When Bai Zhan heard this, his face did not show half an expression, and his heart was already clear, his eyes were firmly fixed on Nangong Ruoxi, this niece who was in the same realm as him, he slowly spoke: "Since you and he are good friends, and you have been born and died together, do you know his origin? Do you know that he has a variety of unique knowledge? Can you know how many secrets he has?"

Nangong Ruoxi shook her head, she knew that Bai Zhan was a person, and in order to pursue a high realm, she could use all means...... This is what her father said to her when he left.

It's just that the ancestral land of the Nangong family suddenly became abnormal, and her father had to take everyone and move back to the ancestral land, and the city lord's mansion could not be left without an owner for a day, Nangong City needed someone to manage it, and when her father got acquainted with Bai Zhan, he had already noticed his thoughts, so he pushed the boat down the river and gave him the position of city lord.

She shook her head and said, "Everyone has their own secrets, not only Xiuyu... And I... Even Uncle Bai and Fauber have their own secrets. I know that Xiuyu has a mastery, but he has never coveted it in the slightest, and the mastery is a person with a fixed inheritance, and forcibly depriving it will only cause criticism... It will even anger the hidden people behind it...... I believe that Uncle Bai also knows this, why does Uncle Bai still want to bring Xiuyu back? Aren't you afraid of provoking the people behind him?"

"Hehehe..." Bai Zhan just smiled flatly, what Nangong Ruoxi said meant something, and he didn't answer for the time being.

Although Nangong Ruoxi is an elegant and gentle woman, she is delicate, intelligent and sensitive, and her perception and observation are much sharper than ordinary people.

It was not difficult for her to know the secret of Fauber and him.

Ahem... Fu Bo coughed, and the old man's face darkened a little after hearing Nangong Ruoxi's words.

He spent almost all his life in the City Lord's Mansion, watching the head of the Nangong family grow up, watching Nangong Ruoxi grow up, and he has deep feelings for the people of the Nangong family, but he is still a selfish person after all, and the older he gets, the more afraid he is of dying...... He has been refining qi all his life, and finally broke through the gate of the sixth order, but in the end, he still does nothing, and even if he dies, it is just a slope of loess that no one cares about.

Until one day, Bai Zhan found him...... Knowing that his qi and blood were exhausted and his life was dying, he told him that on the ninth floor of the Book Pavilion, a book of Xuangong that could increase his longevity was placed...... Since then, he has embarked on a path of no return, refining qi and rebuilding, relying on devouring essence and blood to increase qi and blood and maintain a damaged life.

Fauber's voice was hoarse, a little insincere, and he said slowly: "Miss... As long as the city lord obtains the mastery and comprehends the essence and mystery of the mastery, he will definitely be able to break the curse of Nangong City for thousands of years, no one can break through the curse of the second realm, and lead Nangong City back to the glory of the past......"

"Alright... Fu Bo..."Nangong Ruoxi suddenly said: "There is no curse in Nangong City, the so-called curse and shackles are just making excuses for themselves......"

Her gaze focused on Bai Zhan's face, and she said seriously: "Uncle Bai, Ruoxi begs you, let Xiuyu go, don't embarrass him, I know that the relics must be here with you, the relics are rarer than the Buddhist relics, and they are the only inheritance left when the sleeping Buddha sat down, which must contain more subtle Buddhism, including a more profound realm comprehension...... Uncle Bai can rely on the relics to spy on the true door of qi refining, and there is no need to seek a peerless discipline at all. ”

Bai Zhan was silent for a while, did not speak, but stared sideways at the door, his eyes flickering, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

After a long time, he sighed leisurely, "My life's pursuit is to break through to a higher realm! Qi refining is ethereal and hard to find, the real door is like ascending to the sky, and now hope is in front of you, the relics are the things of the Buddha, although they contain profound Buddhism, but the Buddha is different from the Qi refiner after all, and the path is different...... Only peerless learning is the most rare treasure in the world, if you get one, you can refine your qi extraordinary, and if you get the second, you can peek through the true door and find a higher realm......"

"Don't worry... I won't hurt him in the slightest, as long as he writes it down, I'll let him go......"

Bai Zhan didn't speak, but gave an order to expel the guest, asking Fu Bo to leave with Nangong Ruoxi for the time being.

Nangong Ruoxi was unwilling, and there was no way for a while. Bai Zhan wouldn't hurt Xiuyu, which made her breathe a sigh of relief...... However, Bai Zhan is still obsessed with learning, and if Xiu Yu is resentful in the future, then I am afraid that there will be another grievance.

Although Bai Zhan is an ambitious person, he has also watched her grow up since he was a child, and in a sense, he is like a relative. She also knew that although Bai Zhan did not care about the feelings of others, he was never a bad person, on the contrary, he was benevolent, but in the face of what he longed for, the way he adopted was different from others.

As for his secret with Fauber, everything was done willingly by Fauber, and no one forced it. It's just that because the two have some deals, Bai Zhan fulfilled a promise to act as a secret guardian.

In the study, Xiu Yu sat at the desk, dipped pen and ink, and wrote a long list of mysterious formulas on a piece of white paper.

"Brother... Are you really going to give him the Absolute Learning?" said Shio, blinking at her big dark blue eyes.

Xiu Yu affectionately touched Xi's soft blonde hair and smiled, "Of course, as long as my brother writes out the mastery, the bad guys will let us go, and when we leave the City Lord's Mansion, we will leave Nangong City, and my brother will take you to another place, where there are many fairy sisters, so that Xi'er will not have to be alone." ”

"Brother..."Xi's little face suddenly wrinkled, and he said a little unhappily; "Is my brother going to leave Xi'er in the future?" Is Xi'er a burden to my brother, Xi'er is a burden to my brother, my brother doesn't like Xi'er, doesn't my brother want Xi'er?"

Xiu Yu smiled dotingly, pinched her delicate nose, and said softly, "Silly sister, how could my brother not want you?" Xi'er is the most beautiful and cutest sister in the world, and it's too late for my brother to like it...... It's just that my brother's strength is too weak now, and Xi'er is so beautiful, if one day, someone wants to snatch Xi'er, and then my brother will be as powerless as today, then my brother will regret his death, do you want my brother to live in sin forever?"

"But... Brother ......" Xi wanted to speak, but Xiu Yu stretched out his hand to interrupt her: "Xi'er is good, when my brother finishes writing, I will take you away." ”

"Brother..."

Xi wanted to speak and stopped, and saw that Xiuyu was immersed in writing, and he was whispering in his heart that he couldn't hear.

"Actually, Xi'er wants to tell her brother...... Xi'er can feel the good and evil in everyone's heart, and can feel everyone's soul and thoughts...... Although the uncle threatened his brother, Xi'er knew that he would not hurt his brother...... It's all because of Xi'er, it's Xi'er who has burdened my brother, and Xi'er is my brother's burden......"

Ps1: I wanted to write Bai Zhan directly as a mini-boss, but after thinking about it a little, it's too brainless, how can there be so many bad guys in the world...... Although it is written like this, it slowly pushes the two characters to the opposite side, which is a bit time-consuming and writing, but it feels a little more soulful.

Ps2: Xiaoxin is still groping, and there are problems that are inevitable, but Xiaoxin will read the text over and over again, and slowly refine it, I believe that it will be able to present a perfect world of gods and demons/giggles
