Xie Xuanyang and Mo Lingyan followed the Naoxi crowd into Deyi Villa. As fledgling young heroes, the two of them could not enter the inner villa to attend the main banquet. They could only sit on the banquet table like most Naoxi people until the day Hei didn't even get to see the two newcomers again.

Most of the people who made a fuss were from the rivers and lakes, and they behaved very liberally. The banquet was full of people toasting and fighting wine.

Xie Xuanyang has never been able to cope with such a scene.He never drank alcohol and seldom attended banquets. He didn't know what to do with those who persuaded him to drink.Fortunately, there is Mo Lingyan beside him.

Mo Lingyan is the eldest son of the Mo family in Xiliang, and he has participated in countless banquets since he was a child. Naturally, he can drink very well all the year round, and he is very comfortable with things like blocking wine for Xie Xuanyang.

Xie Xuanyang didn't drink, but he also got a headache from the smell of alcohol. He rubbed his temples and found an excuse to leave the banquet, and went out to get some air.He strolled in the corridor of the courtyard, the cool air took away the heaviness in his mind.

A gust of night wind blew by, and he heard sobs coming from the end of the corridor, faintly and faintly, if he didn't listen carefully, he could easily take it as the sound of wind.

This corridor is very long, and I don't know where it leads to the village.For some unknown reason, the silk lamp was not lit a distance further from this corridor, and the dim light from where Xie Xuanyang was standing could not illuminate the entire corridor.The corridor ahead was pitch-black, like the huge mouth of an unknown monster, and the weeping sound from that huge mouth was extremely strange.

If it were someone else, they would have already run away with trembling and half-soft legs, but the one standing here is Xie Xuanyang.Xie Xuanyang is a monk, he had already dealt with ghosts a lot because of his family members before he joined the Heaven Title Sect, and he has seen many strange things, but now it is just the crying sound coming from the dark corridor. He felt afraid.

Xie Xuanyang looked at the corridor without changing his expression, thought for a while and decided to see what was at the source of the sound.He and Mo Lingyan came to Deyi Villa to investigate, and he would not let anything go wrong.

He started and walked in. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he saw a rockery made of rocks.The moonlight tonight was very dark, and he took advantage of the moonlight to look over and felt that the mountain stone was a little red, like dried blood.Xie Xuanyang looked at it for a moment, walked over and looked again, the color turned out to be earthy red.

"Woo... woo..."

The intermittent weeping sound came from behind this rockery. Xie Xuanyang walked in the direction of the sound, and a corner appeared in front of him.Then the voice died away.

Xie Xuanyang squinted his eyes, and suddenly turned the corner.

"what--!"

After the corner was a small corner, where a little boy of three or four years old was sitting.He was wearing an ocher gown with a little crane embroidered with gold thread.His hair was messy, and his round eyes were red and frightened.

"No, don't eat me!" The little boy seemed terrified, not only his voice was shaking, but his whole body was shaking constantly.He obviously regarded the sudden appearance of Xie Xuanyang as a monster.

Seeing that he was a child, Xie Xuanyang couldn't help but feel relieved.He smoothed his expression and gave the little boy a friendly smile.Xie Xuanyang was already good-looking, and his face under the moonlight with a slight smile fell into the eyes of the little boy who didn't know the world, and instantly made him delete the image of the monster he had just conjured up, thinking that he had seen a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

"Xian, sister fairy." The little boy stared blankly at Xie Xuanyang's face, and his pale little face gradually turned red due to fright.

"I'm not my sister." Xie Xuanyang knelt down and patted his head.The little boy's hair was soft and slippery, and it felt so good to the touch. Xie Xuanyang couldn't help touching it again, "I'm my brother."

"Brother?" The little boy tilted his head, leaned closer to Xie Xuanyang and sniffed, and found that he did not have the scent of rouge from the girls.But the little boy still didn't believe it, and stretched out his hand to pat Xie Xuanyang's chest. His fleshy little hands touched his chest, and the hard feeling under his hands made that little face twitch.

"Okay, Brother Fairy." The little boy pursed his lips and said reluctantly.

"Why do you stay here alone and cry?" Xie Xuanyang picked up the little boy from the ground. The ground is already very cold in this season, and it is easy for a child to get seriously ill after sitting for a long time.He held the little boy by his lap and made him sit on his arm, with the other hand on the little boy's back.

"I didn't cry." The little boy hugged Xie Xuanyang's neck and said in a childlike voice.

"Okay, I didn't cry." Xie Xuanyang chuckled, and the voice made the little boy blush again. "The family will be worried if you bring it here, how about I take you back?"

"No!" The little boy raised his voice and shouted, "I don't want to go back! Dad, Dad won't worry about me, he wants a new wife, so he won't... woo... He won't want Qiqi. "As he spoke, his throat choked, he sniffled and began to cry softly, "Qiqi hates Daddy the most... woo woo..."

Marry a new wife?The only one married today in Deyi Villa is Patriarch Cen, so this child is Patriarch Cen's child?Xie Xuanyang could bump into the young master of the Cen family in Waizhuang, Xie Xuanyang didn't know if he was lucky or not.

"Marrying a new wife doesn't mean not worrying about you. Which father would not want his son?" Xie Xuanyang patted the little boy's back with his hand, wiping away the tears from his face.

"He, he just doesn't want me." The little boy whimpered, and buried his face into Xie Xuanyang's neck, "Anyway, I don't want to go back."

Xie Xuanyang sighed silently, "Then Qiqi will follow me to the front hall, okay?" It's always bad for a child to stay outside at night when the temperature is low, even if the little boy doesn't want to go back, he has to bring him inside.

The little boy didn't make a sound, Xie Xuanyang took him as his consent and carried him back to the banquet.

Mo Lingyan managed to get rid of the drinking crowd, and was still wondering where his friends had gone, when he saw Xie Xuanyang walking in from outside the house with a child in his arms.That child is dressed in brocade clothes, and one can tell that he is not a child of an ordinary family.

He couldn't help but teased, "Xuanyang, from which family did you abduct this child?"

Young master of the Cen family.Xie Xuanyang made a mouth shape to communicate with Mo Lingyan silently.

Mo Lingyan understood that this child would be their guide for investigating the inner village of Deyi Villa.Although they have entered the villa now, they cannot enter the inner village.Now that Xie Xuanyang brought back the young master of the Cen family, they had a reason to contact Neizhuang.

"Qiqi, are you hungry?" Xie Xuanyang asked the little boy, but there was no movement.He turned his head and saw that the little boy who was sobbing on his shoulder just now had fallen asleep, and the corners of his red eyes were still stained with tears.

"Do you want to take him back to your room to sleep? I'll go find the maid and inform Cen's family." Seeing this, Mo Lingyan lowered his voice and said to Xie Xuanyang.The Cen family is rich and powerful, and when they entered Deyi Villa, they allocated a temporary guest room for each of them.

Xie Xuanyang nodded, and walked away with the little boy in his arms.

The little boy was sleeping soundly. When Xie Xuanyang opened the door, he accidentally slammed the door, which didn't wake him up, but let out a soft whining sound.

Xie Xuanyang put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt, took off the sword on his back and sat down at a small table beside him to watch it.He has a habit, every day no matter what happens, he has to take time to comprehend the sword.Now the little boy is asleep, and he guards that he doesn't need to go out to deal with people outside, which is a good time to realize the sword.

After an unknown amount of time, someone knocked lightly on the door.Xie Xuanyang glanced at the little boy on the bed to make sure he was not awake, picked up the sword on the table and walked out silently.

Outside the door were Mo Lingyan and a Cen family member he had seen in the wedding party during the day. This person was still dressed in red and seemed to have rushed over from the banquet.

"He's asleep." Xie Xuanyang whispered to the man, "Why don't you bring him back to Neizhuang tomorrow?"

The man looked into the room through the crack of the door, and nodded in response to Xie Xuanyang's words, "The young master is making a lot of noise, and the master will come to him in person tomorrow. Xie Shaoxia, I will ask the maid to clean another room for you."

Xie Xuanyang waved his hand and said no, "A room with Ling Yan is enough for me." He closed the door tightly, fearing that the night wind would blow in and make the little boy catch cold.

The door was closed to block the light outside, and the room was completely dark.Xie Xuanyang didn't see it. The little boy who was supposed to be sleeping behind the closed door opened his eyes. His big round eyes stared blankly at the roof, like a pool of stagnant water.

"Xie Xuanyang...hehehehe~ I caught you~"

Sharp laughter sounded, appearing mysterious and unpredictable in this dimly lit room.
