The tavern was doused with oil and wine by the vengeful young men, and the fire came rapidly. The crossbeam at the door was also burnt, and the incomplete part fell from the top.

Su Ye only had time to throw Shanglu out, but he was hit in the back by a burning piece of wood.

Fortunately, Su Ye didn't hurt her spine or foundation, and she was able to move freely after a while of training, but she left a permanent burn scar on her back.

Su Ye saved Shanglu's life, but he almost died in the flames.

So Su Ye is very different to Shanglu. There is not only an initial good impression, but also a pile of guilt and gratitude later.

Even though Su Ye later joined a secret organization and got blood of innocent people on her hands, Shang Lu still couldn't alienate her because of this.

Shang Lu knew nothing about Su Ye's organization, and was unwilling to find out the truth. She didn't want to lose this friend.

So she never cared about it, and as long as she didn't see it with her own eyes, she would deceive herself and pretend that Su Ye's little secret didn't exist.

Shanglu has always believed in Su Ye, and still believes in her until now.

But believing is one thing, worrying is another.

Ever since he escaped from the palace and saw Su Ye again, Shang Lu always felt a subtle sense of discomfort.

Although she didn't show it, she still felt uneasy about it.

Especially after seeing the arrest warrant that Jing Mo took out, her worry became more and more intense.

On the wanted warrant is the face of Phytophthora, but the content below contains the word "digital accomplices" which has no clear meaning.

If one had to talk about accomplices, Bai Ying and Jing Mo could barely be considered.

However, Shang Lu had contacted and met Su Ye after all. She also knew that Su Ye might be doing something inconvenient, and she was even more worried about implicating her.

So before running away, Shang Lu felt that he had to find a way to contact Su Ye first and remind her.

I don't know whether Shang Lu's sincerity moved God, or Su Ye got some gossip. That evening, Su Ye actually appeared in front of Shang Lu.

"Su Ye!"

When Shang Lu saw his friend again, he was completely happy in his heart, and he didn't even think about why his friend chose the window as the entrance to the stage.

"I was trying to find you, and there was someone here this morning—"

"Where's the person who followed you before?" Su Ye interrupted Shang Lu.

Su Ye, who was stepping on the window, had already changed into plain clothes. Her eyes scanned Shanglu's room, and she frowned immediately when she didn't see the second person.

"Ah..." Shanglu's backlog of worries suddenly stuck in his throat, he blinked blankly, and subconsciously replied, "They live next door."

"They?" Su Ye was taken aback.

"Oh, you can say my little brother, her family has come to look for her." Shang Lu didn't have the slightest defense against Su Ye, and directly explained the previous situation, "We can live here thanks to our little cousin who paid for us. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll have to spend the night at the door..."

"They live next door?" Su Ye stepped on the window and entered the house, walking straight to the door, while questioning, "Are you sure they are just sisters from ordinary people?"

"Ah?" Shang Lu didn't understand where Su Ye's suspicion came from, but he subconsciously followed her and walked to the next room, "Is there something wrong?"

"You said that you escaped from the palace together. If that's the case, your companion's family should either keep her out of the house to avoid disaster, or have deep feelings for her. They should also take her home and hide her early, so as not to be discovered by others." It's up to you to catch it."

As Su Ye explained, he pushed open the door and walked quickly to the next room.

Thanks to Shanglu's room at the end, Su Ye didn't even need to think about which side the "next door" was on.

Shang Lu was slapped squarely by the door that turned back, and hurriedly backed away half a step, only to avoid the end of being slapped on the nose in a panic.

So she naturally didn't notice Su Ye's small movement of pressing the dagger in his sleeve.

With a sound of "哐——", the door next door was pushed open by Su Ye.

Shang Lu, who was chasing up from behind, was still holding his nose with lingering fear, and called Su Ye's name, telling her to be gentle.

"If the filming is broken, you will have to pay for it!"

Shang Lu pressed his heart, and shouted in a panic, only then did he remember to prevent his friends from entering other people's rooms casually.

However, it was too late for Shang Lu to react, so she could only swallow her words of comfort, and apologized to the two of them first.

"Sorry, we didn't mean it! I can explain this—"

Shang Lu's words came to an abrupt end after Su Ye stopped.

Looking over Su Ye's shoulder to the room, Shang Lu immediately understood the reason why Su Ye stopped.

In the room, the two people who were supposed to be sitting upright on both sides of the table, drinking tea and chatting, were nowhere to be seen, leaving only two people rolling together without any image left on the bed.

Bai Ying was pressed down by Jing Mo, their clothes were a little messy, and Jing Mo's hair even had some moisture in it.

Hearing the sound of the door, Jing Mo raised his head in surprise, and met the eyes of the two people at the door.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Bai Ying was the first to react, and immediately stretched out her right hand to cover her face, but her red ears that were about to bleed still betrayed her.

"Is there something wrong?" Jing Mo came to his senses and sat up slowly.

It's just that Jing Mo's waist straightened up, but he was still sitting on Bai Ying's body, without any intention of getting up.

"You, you guys are..."

Shang Lu thinks she is well-informed, and when she saw such a scene, she suddenly felt distorted, but it was the first time she saw an example around her, and she still couldn't react, and she stuttered and said that she was not good at speaking.

"We are exchanging ideas on some problems." Jing Mo raised the corners of his lips slightly, and looked at Shanglu with a smile, "Do you want to come together?"

Chapter 9 09

Facing such a calm Jing Mo, Shang Lu, who was thinking about it for a moment, looked away awkwardly.

Coughing lightly, Shang Lu quickly took off Su Ye's hand that was still pressing on the door, pulled him outside, and closed the door behind them intimately.

"Sorry to interrupt, you go on, you go on."

Su Ye and Jing Mo's eyes met, and the latter raised his eyebrows slightly.

Su Ye's expression suddenly changed for a moment, and he let go of his strength. Shang Lu immediately took the opportunity to pull him out of the door, and dragged him all the way back to his room.

I don't know if he was really surprised, or if he had other plans, but Su Ye didn't insist on exploring the origin of the two.

Shanglu only thought she was as embarrassed as himself, and after dragging Su Ye away, he went back to the room and talked about him, trying to forget what he just saw.

.

At the same time, in the room of Jing Mo and Bai Ying——

"Have you left?" Jing Mo asked in a low voice, leaned down slightly, and stretched out his hand to reach Bai Ying's.

Baiying covered her face with one hand, but hid her other hand behind the stool, with the palm down, and a dagger in her palm.

It was the dagger that Jing Mo reached out for.

"It's next door." Bai Ying flexed her five fingers, grasped the dagger, and slid down to avoid Jing Mo's hand. She said sullenly, "Can you get up first?"

Jing Mo's hand intersected with Bai Ying's and missed, but in the end he couldn't catch the knife, and he didn't even touch the edge of the knife.

"It's very dangerous." Bai Ying paused, and gently reminded, "Don't play around."

Jing Mo pursed his lips slightly, turned his head noncommittally, and finally got up and sat on the edge of the bed.

Bai Ying followed suit and sat up, and finally let go of her face that was gradually getting hotter, rubbed her waist instead, and folded her other hand inside, and she had hidden the small and sharp dagger back to its original place.

Jing Mo pouted slightly in disappointment.

"Who is that person?" Bai Ying asked, "Can't move?"

Of course, Bai Ying knew that it was Shanglu's friend Su Ye. Even with the difference between a suit of clothes and a veil, she immediately recognized the familiar maliciousness, and then matched the face with the name.

Maybe Shang Lu doesn't feel much as a friend, but Bai Ying, who has been in the battlefield for more than ten years, is very sensitive to such trivial malice.

What's more, with the momentum that Su Ye rushed in just now, the murderous aura all over his body was like a bonfire in the dark night, clearly identifiable.

Even Jing Mo noticed it immediately.

Baiying has never been soft on her enemies, but this time it was Jingmo who stopped her.

If someone else rushed forward under such circumstances, Bai Ying would probably stab the dagger with his backhand directly, and wonder if he was with someone outside.

But this time it was Jing Mo who rushed forward, and Bai Ying's first reaction was to catch her, and by the way, pushed the dagger in her hand away to avoid hurting her.

The next second the strange woman pushed the door aggressively and came in.

Jing Mo pressed Bai Ying with a little force in his hand, and Bai Ying immediately understood Jing Mo's hint, lay obediently on the ground, and quietly waited for the two intruders to leave.
