When Lin Jianxue woke up, she was wrapped in an embrace.

The twilight of the morning shines in through the window screens, creating a peaceful atmosphere in the house.Behind his back was a large and warm chest, and his even and slow breathing was blowing out behind his head, reminding him that he did not fall asleep alone last night.This similar atmosphere has not been seen for a long time.

The other party's arm was put on his waist for some reason, Lin Jianxue gently pushed that arm away, and carefully pulled it away from the embrace behind her.Unexpectedly, as soon as he made a move, Gu Xingyuan seemed to have noticed something, and stretched out his hand to clasp the person into his arms forcefully.

"Master... don't go..." Gu Xingyuan's dazed voice sounded, obviously he was still awake, but even in his dream he was quite clingy.

Lin Jianxue was helpless, and when she was about to make a sound to wake her up, she suddenly bumped into something behind her waist.He was stunned for a moment, his whole body stiffened, and the base of his ears suddenly turned red.

There was a crash, and a piece of brocade in the bed curtain was blown up. Gu Xingyuan was slammed into the corner of the wall, and he screamed in pain. He opened his eyes sleepily, with a blank expression on his face: "...Master?"

Lin Jianxue stood in front of the couch, turned to look at him, her hands were arranging the messy neckline, her white and deep collarbone could be vaguely seen in her movements.

"It's time to get up." Lin Jianxue said coldly, then turned around and began to put on her outer robe.

Looking at the snow-white figure, Gu Xingyuan blinked his light golden eyes, not showing any displeasure, and said in a cute tone: "Yes."

When the two went out, there were already four disciples standing neatly outside the door.

One of the disciples stood up straight and reported: "Master Li Han, we have cleaned up the room next door last night. It seems that it was done by a monster. The soul of the deceased showed signs of being forcibly removed. There will always be people dying like this every day, and my disciples speculate that the murderer may be the monster we are looking for."

Lin Jianxue nodded slightly, and suddenly asked, "How is that boy doing?"

The reporting disciple hesitated for a moment: "Senior Brother Yuan is watching that boy, so we haven't gone to see it yet."

"Go and have a look." Lin Jianxue raised her foot and walked upstairs.The inn was very quiet, and the sound of a few footsteps echoed in this space, which was exceptionally clear.

Halfway through, the light in the inn suddenly dimmed, and the long corridor was only lit by candles, making it difficult to distinguish day from night.

Lin Jianxue turned her head and glanced at the window pane on the wall. It was still a clear sky just now, but in an instant it was covered with dark clouds. Thick lead clouds gathered in this direction from a distance, and there was a tendency to rain again.

He squinted his eyes, quickened his pace slightly, and turned a corner to the top floor.The door of the room where the boy in black was staying was tightly closed, Lin Jianxue stood in front of the door, put his hand on it and knocked, there was dead silence on the other side of the door.

He frowned slightly, and when he was about to open the door, someone grabbed his arm.

"Master." Gu Xingyuan stared at the door, his light golden eyes were slightly dark under the unclear light.He turned to look at Lin Jianxue, with a serious expression: "Something's not right."

Lin Jianxue glanced at him, her expression was always cold, but there was a momentary softness in her eyes: "I know, you back off."

"I..." Gu Xingyuan seemed to want to say something, but Lin Jianxue had already turned around and wasn't looking at him.He paused, and still stood beside Lin Jianxue, within reach.

The surrounding spiritual energy gradually gathered, gathered in Lin Jianxue's palm, and the next moment, he waved his sleeves and beat the closed door, as if something shattered in response, the door suddenly opened.

The other side of the door was filled with flying dust, and nothing could be seen clearly.Lin Jianxue lifted her foot and stepped into the room.At the moment when the inner and outer space bordered, there was a subtle feeling like a tiny needle piercing the nerve endings, but it disappeared in an instant because it was too weak.

The flying dust in the room gradually fell silent. Standing in the room, Lin Jianxue saw Zhang Yuan lying on the table, looking at him in shock, with the marks of falling asleep still on his face.

"Master Li, Li Han, what happened?" Zhang Yuan stammered.

Lin Jianxue didn't respond, and went straight to the couch, and saw the boy in black lying quietly under the quilt, as if he had been woken up by the loud noise just now, his eyes half-opened in a daze, and he didn't know if he could see clearly The person in front of him muttered a few words, turned over and went back to sleep.

Zhang Yuan came over and whispered: "He fell asleep very late last night, and so did I..."

After finishing speaking, he smiled embarrassedly, and said again: "Did Master Li Han knock on the door just now? I may have fallen asleep and didn't hear it."

Lin Jianxue withdrew her gaze and glanced at Zhang Yuan: "It's okay, I just came to see."

Everything around seemed to be normal, and the weird feeling before disappeared without a trace.Lin Jianxue remained silent for a few seconds, then turned around under Zhang Yuan's strange gaze, and left the room.

Gu Xingyuan was leaning against the wall outside the door. When he saw him coming out, his long and narrow eyes curved into an arc: "Master, you have come out."

Lin Jianxue hummed inaudibly, and then heard Gu Xingyuan ask: "Where is Master going next?"

"Go to the street and have a look."

"Okay." Gu Xingyuan said with a smile.

After a brief breakfast in the lobby on the first floor, the two left the inn and went to the street.

The morning sun was warm and made people feel a little dazed.Everything outside is bright, and even the air seems to be glowing with subtle fragments of light.

Lin Jianxue stared at the clear and elegant eaves of the buildings on the street, and the neat brick walls of various colors, and was stunned for a long time.

"Master, Master?" The sleeves beside her were pulled, Lin Jianxue came back to her senses, and heard Gu Xingyuan whisper, "Shall we go over there?"

Lin Jianxue looked in the direction of the other's finger, and there was a big tree full of small white flowers not far away.The breeze passed by, and the white flowers fell like rain, like a light and elegant gauze, so beautiful.

That is... the Bai Luohua tree. The living conditions of this kind of tree are extremely harsh, and it must be in a place with rich spiritual energy, and it can only survive if it is carefully cared for.There is also such a tree in Tianxu Peak. It was a seed that Lin Jianxue gave to Gu Xingyuan when he returned from a trip. It was just thrown to him for fun. He never thought that Gu Xingyuan would be so serious that he would go there every day. After watching it once, it really made him live.

At that time, he also asked Gu Xingyuan: "It seems that you like the Bailuo tree very much?"

The young Gu Xingyuan raised his eyes to look at him, and a cold figure was reflected in his light golden pupils.He fixedly looked at Lin Jianxue, suddenly lowered his eyes, and said clearly: "I like it."

Lin Jianxue regained consciousness from the memories, Gu Xingyuan at the side gently took his hand, and led him towards that direction, and he arrived in a short while.The two stood under the tree, Lin Jianxue stared at the snow-white fallen flowers on the ground, a trace of bewilderment appeared in her cold eyes.

This place...why is there a Bailuo tree?

Before he could think deeply, the person beside him suddenly hugged him from behind, interrupting his thoughts.The cool breath brushed the side of the neck, and a deep voice sounded in the ear: "Master's smell is so delicious."

"..." Lin Jianxue was stunned for a moment, looked at the flowers in front of her and said, "Is it the fragrance of flowers?"

A chuckle came from next to his ear, Gu Xingyuan leaned his chin on his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "No, it's your smell."

After finishing speaking, the arm that encircled him moved down, penetrated into the outer robe, and took out a small blue jade bottle.

"What is this?" Gu Xingyuan stared at the jade bottle with an indescribably strange look in his eyes.

"This..." Lin Jianxue looked at it, and seemed to vaguely remember that it was something very important, but what was it, what was it used for, and where did it come from?I don't even remember these moments.It seems that there is a hazy veil covering my mind, and I can't see clearly.

"This one seems pretty good." Gu Xingyuan had already opened the bottle, inside was a blood-colored elixir, faintly glowing red, and a faint sweet smell permeated the air.

The breath of the person behind him became short of breath, and he murmured: "Master won't give me such a good thing."

As he spoke, he put the pill into his mouth.

Lin Jianxue frowned, and there was no time to stop her: "Wait! This elixir looks like...you!"

Gu Xingyuan had already swallowed it, he closed his eyes, his whole body trembled suddenly uncontrollably, the aura around him changed suddenly, and the spiritual pressure that instantly increased came oncoming.

He opened his eyes abruptly, his light golden pupils were slightly bloodshot for some reason.He tilted his head slightly to look at Lin Jianxue, his eyes were filled with fiery infatuation, his lips parted slightly, and he murmured: "This is your smell...so your smell is like this?"

Lin Jianxue didn't hear what he said clearly, but felt that there was something wrong with the appearance of the apprentice, and she was inexplicably flustered. He hurriedly grabbed Gu Xingyuan's arm and asked, "What did you say? I feel a little unwell right now? Spit it out!"

The arm was snapped back by the other party, as if afraid that he would break free, the other party's force was extraordinary.The person in front of him stared at him with an uncomfortable feeling in his eyes, clammy and cold.

Lin Jianxue was startled, a certain belated consciousness began to come back to her mind bit by bit.Looking at the familiar face in front of him, the Lingtai seemed to be awakened by a heavy hammer.

——This person is not Gu Xingyuan!

However, it was too late, the opponent's spiritual pressure had already been densely pressed, it was more than one level stronger than when they first fought that day.Lin Jianxue seemed to be bound by something, unable to move at all.

--laugh!

The chest was cold, and a warm red liquid splashed through the air.

Lin Jianxue forcibly broke free from the restraints, and turned sideways just before the opponent's hand pierced his heart, barely avoiding the vital parts.But because of this, the spiritual power in his body became disordered, rampaging in his body, and the destructive power was even greater than what the person in front of him brought to him.

Lin Jianxue quickly stepped back ten feet, blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.He reluctantly summoned a sword from the Sea of ​​Consciousness, suddenly his face turned pale, he knelt down on one knee while supporting the sword, and coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood.

The chest felt like a needle prick, and the old wound that hadn't healed was torn open. The deep pain instantly swept through the nerves, and even breathing became difficult.

Lin Jianxue's eyes were blurred, and her ears were buzzing because of the extreme lack of oxygen. After a while, she heard light footsteps in front of her.

A pair of naked/delicate feet appeared in front of her eyes, Lin Jianxue raised her head slightly, and saw a piece of black clothes, and further up, was the handsome face of the boy in black.

Lin Jianxue stared at him, and said coldly, "You have cast an illusion."

Bie Qi smiled, squatted down and stared at him: "Of course, I'm not stupid. I can't beat you head-on, can't I think of other ways? Especially your apprentice, who protects you like something, the slightest chance None left for me."

At this point, he paused, as if thinking of something, looked at Lin Jianxue, and said meaningfully: "Are you worried about that apprentice of yours? Don't worry, his illusion is... so wonderful, it even scared me One jump. You can eat him after I finish eating, don't worry."

Lin Jianxue swung the sword forcefully, but suddenly her chest hurt, her hand froze, the sword was knocked down, and there was a loud crash on the ground.

"Don't waste your energy in vain." Bie Qi's eyes had turned crimson red, and his pale and delicate fingers became elongated in an instant, ferocious and sharp.The wet and cold eyes crawled over Lin Jianxue's white and fragile neck, exuding a strange brilliance.

"Goodbye," he said softly.

--laugh! !

Large swaths of blood splashed like flowers in front of his eyes, and his vision was red.
