Chapter 179: Is there any killing intent

After a long delay on the mountain, I watched an inexplicable quarrel between men and women, although I was a little curious and conjectured about He Xiaomei's sudden night non-return, but Shen Shi and Sun You didn't mean to meddle. After leaving all the way, go to the pier of the sea fairy boat at the foot of Jinhong Mountain, and look at the sky, it is almost past the hour.

Sun You accompanied Shen Shi all the way down the mountain, chatting and laughing with him on the way, looking forward to the upcoming selection meeting of the Hundred Mountains Realm, it seemed that he was in a good mood, of course Shen Shi could understand the mood of this good friend at the moment, and he was happy for him from the bottom of his heart. As for the other Sun Heng who was involved in the Sun family's infighting, the two of them did not mention it by tacit understanding.

Walking to the bottom of the mountain and seeing the immortal boat crossing the sea, Shen Shi said goodbye to Sun You, Sun You smiled and said: "You go early and return early, the next thing is a series of big things, and it has been half a year later, the period of the Sizheng Conference can be regarded as one of the most important times on our way to cultivation." ”

Shen Shi nodded and said, "I know." As he spoke, he was about to turn around and get on the boat, when suddenly a person hurriedly ran over from the fairy boat in front of him, looking like a sailor on the fairy boat, and walked quickly to the two of them.

Shen Shizheng was puzzled, but he was a little surprised when he heard Sun You next to him, and said in amazement: "Xu San, why are you here?"

The man named Xu San was silent, but motioned for Sun You to follow him aside, and then after a whisper in a secluded place, he walked back to the tall sea-crossing immortal boat with a blank face.

Sun You walked back, Shen Shi glanced at him, and couldn't help but be stunned, but found that Sun You's face seemed to be a little dignified and ugly, and couldn't help asking, "Who is that person, is there something wrong?"

Sun You hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Xu San is from my grandmother's Xu family, and she came to tell me a piece of news just now, the house over there in Liuyun City is where the Chunni girl lives, and something happened to it, as if it was discovered by the people of the Beast Alliance and then besieged. ”

Shen Shi's body shook suddenly, and he lost his voice: "What?"

Sun You saw that his face was shocked and ugly, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, although there is some danger in the middle, but in the end, my uncle and they brought someone over to save it, and the Chunni girl should be fine, and now she is being placed in the Xu family's mansion." So if you want to go over to see her, go directly to Xu's house. ”

Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was faintly afraid in his heart, nodded immediately, and said, "Okay, then I'll go over, and at the same time, I want to thank the head of the Xu family for saving my life in person." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and strode forward, Sun You could somewhat understand his eagerness, so he didn't say anything, but Shen Shi took a few steps, suddenly turned around, and after a while, he suddenly turned around again, looked at Sun You, and said, "Sun You, did that person say just now how did the Beast Alliance find that house?"

Sun You shook his head and said, "I didn't mention this matter. Saying that, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "However, those people from the Beast Alliance are considered to be the head snakes here in Liuyun City, and they are very familiar with the situation in the city, so maybe they heard about it from places like the Fox Society and the Rat in which city." ”

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, nodded and didn't say anything, said hello to Sun You, and went by himself.

In Liuyun City, the Xu family's mansion.

The huge mansions are stacked on top of each other, beautifully carved, and some pavilions and pavilions that have been seen for more than a hundred years can be seen everywhere, and they seem to quietly tell the stormy years that have been experienced here, revealing a trace of heavy vicissitudes. The garden is dotted with small lakes, and there are some elegant scenery, the fallen leaves and flowers have long been swept away, and the whole mansion has a trace of clean and neat atmosphere, as if there is a vigorous vitality, emanating from this house.

In a courtyard in the west garden of the mansion, there are three rooms, which are arranged as guest rooms on weekdays, but in the chaos last night, someone was placed here, except for the one in the middle of the north, no one lives, and there are people living in the east wing and the west wing.

Ling Chunni is a guest who was arranged by the Xu family to live in the West Wing.

The sudden battle yesterday lasted until late at night, and it was really a trip to the ghost gate, although in the end, Ling Chunni was not particularly seriously injured on his body, but the fright was not small. After being rescued by the Xu family, brought back to the Xu family's mansion and placed here in Xiyuan, Ling Chunni thought that she would be frightened and couldn't sleep all night, in fact, at the beginning of the placement of sleep, she was indeed tossing and turning, and she also missed Shen Shi in her heart, but I don't know when, she lay down and fell asleep like this.

She dreamed, and there was more than one dream, many strange dreams that were complicated and difficult and vaguely meaningful, and each dream always seemed to be very short, and one dream lasted for a while before it suddenly shattered and then she was caught in another dream, and it seemed to be endless, floating in a strange illusion.

Some people say that dreams are like bubbles of morning dew, easily shattered and disappear without a trace, and when Ling Chunni walks through one dream after another, even if she occasionally wants to remember something, she often finds that she forgets most of them when the dream is shattered.

She only vaguely remembered that among these many dreams, nightmares were the majority, but there were also some sweet dreams that made her happy and happy, and the warmth she remembered and the only person she remembered was Shen Shi.

Later, she woke up.

When I woke up, it was dawn, and I had slept all night, Ling Chunni was lying on the bed and bedding, a little trance and dazed, thinking that in the recent days, I somehow seemed to be a little sleepy and lazy, maybe it was because I was locked up at home for too long and tired?

She shook her head slightly, and suddenly felt a pain in her heart for no reason, in that thought just now, it turned out that she had unconsciously regarded that cottage as "home"?

It's a pity that there are no more now, right?

She sighed softly and sat up. Eyes swept over this room, the hurry of arriving last night, and the people were really not extra idle after being tired and frightened, almost never looked at this place, now take a serious look, and find that this room is very spacious, no matter the tables, chairs and counters are antique, revealing a thick and ancient atmosphere, showing the heritage of this Xu family.

The house was very clean everywhere, apparently cleaned from time to time, and did not show any signs of hectic stain due to the sudden occupancy, including on the floor. Out of the corner of his eye, he swept over the foot of the bed, and Ling Chunni saw the little black pig curled up in a ball, lying on the ground under the edge of the bed and falling asleep.

It seems that this pig is obviously more sleepy than her, and carefree or heartless, and sleeps very sweetly at first glance, just looking at its appearance, no one would have thought that there would be such a vicious fight last night, and this little black pig was also fierce at the last moment, and rampaged in that hut and overturned many fierce beast alliance monks, and at least five people were bitten off their ankles by it.

Ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivators, even those Beast Alliance cultivators who were strong and strong with blades in their hands, and were accustomed to fighting, didn't seem to have much resistance under the fangs of this black pig, but this was something that Ling Chunni had never thought of. In the past, Shen Shi left Xiao Hei with her, saying that he was with her as a companion to relieve boredom and protect her, but Ling Chunni always only felt that it was the former, on weekdays, Xiao Hei looked lazy and lazy all day long, where was there anything to deter foreign enemies?

However, last night's battle obviously fully illustrated that there are thousands of monsters in the world, and even if it is a pig, you can't underestimate it, otherwise those fierce beast alliance monks who broke their feet last night will be the end.

She was a little lazy, stretched, and got out of bed. When walking past the sleeping little black pig, Xiao Hei's two ears moved, and seemed to be tilted up, but I don't know if he slept too soundly and didn't want to wake up, or felt that there would be no more danger at this moment, Xiao Hei's pig ears quickly drooped down again, and he muttered twice, and he didn't even open his eyes, and he was still sleeping sweetly.

After tidying up his clothes, when he was a little stunned, Ling Chunni suddenly heard a calm man's voice coming in from outside the door, and said:

"In Xia Xu Teng, may I ask Miss Ling to get up?"

Ling Chunni was taken aback, quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door and opened the door, only to see a middle-aged man standing outside the house, smiling, it was Xu Teng. As the head of the Xu family, Xu Teng is also well-known in Liuyun City, even Ling Chunni has heard of it in the past, of course, the two were completely different people from the world at that time, and she never thought that one day she would stand in front of the head of the Xu family who once felt superior, although at this moment, Xu Teng's smile was kind and gentle, but it was not much different from ordinary people.

Ling Chunni didn't dare to slack off, maybe there was still a little instinctive awe in his heart, and he lowered his head and whispered: "The little woman has seen the head of the Xu family. ”

Xu Teng looked at Ling Chunni and said with a smile, "Is Miss Ling okay with her rest last night?"

Ling Chunni nodded and said, "Very good, thank you to the head of the Xu family for saving her life yesterday, the little girl is grateful." ”

Xu Teng laughed, waved his hand and said, "It's just a gesture, the girl doesn't have to take it to heart." Speaking of which, Shen Shi and I are also acquaintances, and he also rescued my third brother that day, and every qiē is due. ”

While he was talking, there was a sudden squeak from the other side of the courtyard, but it was a girl coming out of the east wing, Xu Teng and Ling Chunni turned their heads to look, only to see the girl come over and say:

"Master, Miss Zhong has already gotten up. ”

Xu Teng nodded, waved his hand to let the girl go down, and then smiled at Ling Chunni and said, "Miss Zhong is injured, so I arranged a maid to wait, but it seems that she doesn't like it very much, what's the matter, do you want to go with me to see her?"

Ling Chunni was already a little worried about Zhong Qingzhu in his heart, and when he heard this, he hurriedly nodded and agreed, and the two walked to the door of the east wing, Xu Teng knocked on the door to report his name, and after a while, he heard Zhong Qingzhu's slightly weak voice coming out of the house, and said:

"Please come in. ”

The door was hidden, Xu Teng took Ling Chunni to push the door in, as soon as she entered the door, Ling Chunni saw the layout of the room here, which was almost exactly the same as the west wing room where she lived, and at this moment, the wounds on Zhong Qingzhu's body had already been bandaged clearly, wearing a green velvet cloak, his face was slightly pale, and his beautiful appearance was slightly haggard, but it vaguely seemed to have a little more soft and gentle beauty that is rarely seen on weekdays.

Seeing Xu Teng and Ling Chunni coming, Zhong Qingzhu owed forward, with a little apology on his face, and said to Xu Teng: "Xu Shibo, I have an injury and inconvenience, and I can't see the courtesy, please forgive me." ”

Xu Teng hurriedly helped him and said with a smile: "Sit, sit, sit down, what are these false etiquettes doing?" said and said with a smile, "In the past few years, I have long heard of your reputation as a rising star of the Zhong family, and I wanted to see you early, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity, and when I saw it today, my niece is really a leader among people, and her future is limitless." ”

Zhong Qingzhu smiled and said, "Shibo has won the award." Well, I ...... about last night."

Xu Teng didn't wait for her to finish, then interjected with a smile: "Don't worry, niece Xian, since you confessed last night, I should take care of it, the family has banned this matter, and no one has been sent to the Zhong family to deliver a letter, so as not to worry Lingtang." You just have to take care of your wounds with me. ”

Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, a trace of gratitude still flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Thank you, Shibo." ”

Xu Teng laughed and said, "It's just a trivial matter." With that, he chatted with the two of them for a while, and then left with something.

After Xu Teng left, only Ling Chunni and Zhong Qingzhu were left in the room, the two women looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere in the room fell silent all of a sudden, looking a little embarrassed.

After a while, Ling Chunni walked over slowly, sat down on the edge of the bed, and after a moment of silence, said softly, "How are your injuries?"

Zhong Qingzhu glanced at her and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just that there is more bleeding, and it will be fine in a few days." ”

"Oh, that's good. Ling Chunni said.

"Hmm. Zhong Qingzhu agreed softly.

The two were silent for a moment.

Just when Zhong Qingzhu felt a little uncomfortable with this awkward atmosphere and was about to say something, he suddenly heard Ling Chunni sitting there and said, "Qingzhu...... Girl, I want to ask you something. ”

Zhong Qingzhu said: "You say." ”

Ling Chunni took a deep breath, his face didn't seem to change, as usual, and said quietly: "At the end of last night, you put your hand on my neck, what if ...... If Xiao Hei and the Xu family hadn't come to the rescue, would you really strangle me?"
