Peach Blossom Button

"You... are you back?"

Tao Mo only felt that he was a little stumbled even to speak, he was still immersed in a dreamlike trance, and even the figure sitting by the window felt a little unreal.But he still took a step forward and approached Bai Wangyan step by step.

The white-clothed scholar just sat quietly by the window, raising his head, with a smile in his peach eyes—the same gentleness as usual.He put the scroll aside, stretched out his hand to straighten the collar of the black-clothed swordsman, but said nothing.A gust of wind blew past, shaking the trees by the window, and the flowers flew down, making a soft rustling sound.

It was almost like another soft dream.

"I, I've been looking for you for a long time." Taking a deep breath, Tao Mo regained his composure, and he pressed the hand that straightened his collar.The coldness coming from the palm of his hand immediately cleared his mind a lot.Tao Mo looked at Bai Wangyan in bewilderment, "Where did you go this day and night!"

Seeing this person in front of him should not, Tao Mo hurriedly took a step forward, greedily taking a panoramic view of Bai Wangyan, for fear that this person would disappear like a dream.He is not a talkative person, but what happened in the past two days was too unexpected, and several mysteries ran amok in his mind until Bai Wangyan reappeared in front of him.Apart from Bai Wangyan, Tao Mo didn't have anyone to talk to with peace of mind.For him, Bai Wangyan is probably the only harbor where he can dock with peace of mind in this vast river and lake. He has no defense against the one he loves.

"I was rescued from the dungeon by Ms. Li, but I couldn't find you when I came back here... Later, I was worried about Ms. Li's safety, so I rushed to the vicinity of the palace and rescued her in the alley over there. The Shuangyue Pavilion killer who killed her fought, and I smashed the killer's mask, but she ran away... Just now, brother Qingyun and the corridor chief and I went to that alley again, and met people from Shuangyue Pavilion again " Tao Mo spoke hastily, wanting to confide all the things that happened in the past two days to the white-clothed scholar in front of him, but he usually talks very little, so there is no such thing as talking too much. Finally, he stopped and took a breath.

"There is a killer who was ordered to kill me, wearing a fox mask similar to my senior brother..." Tao Mo frowned, paused, and hesitated: "And..." He moved his eyes to the quiet man in white. On the scholar.

That gentle smile intensified.

Peach blossom eyes narrowed into crescent-like arcs, Bai Wangyan leaned back in the chair, stretched out his hand into his arms.Tao Mo suddenly felt his eyelids twitch, he wanted to walk away quickly, but he seemed to be firmly nailed in place, his eyes were also led by the colorful fox face, and fell on Bai Wangyan's handsome and extraordinary face.

Under Tao Mo's astonished gaze, the fox's face completely covered Bai Wangyan's face, and a familiar voice came from behind the fox's face, so clear that Tao Mo's back felt cold.

"A few years ago, the Tang family was a big faction in the Jianghu, who was good at making poison and using hidden weapons, and dominated the middle of Sichuan. But because of the brothers fighting against the wall, it gradually withered, and it was hard to find in the Jianghu... Today, there is still a Tang family who is good at making poison. , drinking blood in Shuangyue Pavilion," Bai Wangyan took off the fox mask from his face with a smile, flipped it over in his hand, and showed Tao Mo the character "Tang" on the back of the fox mask , "And this assassin of the Tang family naturally belongs to Shuangyuege Yashi's subordinates."

Tao Mo's eyes were fixed on the "Tang" character, he reached out and snatched the fox's face, turned it back to the front again, and carefully looked at the pattern on it.The pattern is very similar to Tang Lin's fox face, but it is still a little different, but... he has seen this mask before!

"This mask..." Tao Mo exclaimed in shock, "It belonged to the killer just now!"

"Of course it's his." Bai Wangyan stood up from the chair, cupped Tao Mo's cheeks with both hands, looked into those eyes that couldn't help but widen, and whispered in a sleepy voice, "He wants to kill you, how could he kill you?" you……"

At this time, Tao Mo and Bai Wangyan were very close, so close that he could see his slightly trembling snow-colored eyelashes, and even feel that he was gradually wrapped in a biting coldness, like falling into an ice cave.Bai Wangyan's hands were not always this cold. Before he was poisoned by the strange poison, he still had a temperature that was undoubtedly different from that of ordinary people, but after that, his whole body was as cold as a piece of ice, which Tao Mo had never had before. No doubts, but now...he feels that the person in front of him is so strange that he is not Bai Wangyan at all.

The spreading chill forced Tao Mo to take a step back.

Bai Wangyan's hands holding his cheeks still hang down at a loss, but the young man in white clothes and white hair laughed again: "Tang Lin was indeed born in that branch of Shuangyue Pavilion, so There is nothing false about what you say.”

"Is there one thing you didn't ask about what you said to me just now?" Before Tao Mo could say anything more, Bai Wangyan said again, "The killer whose mask was torn off by you and fled in a hurry? You... ...see his face?"

As soon as these words came out, Tao Mo quickly put his hand on the hilt of Zhuohua's sword. He looked at the familiar young man in white in astonishment, but couldn't say a word.Bai Wangyan lowered his eyes, looked at the black-clothed swordsman in front of him, watched him slowly let go of his hand on the hilt of his sword, and then laughed to himself.

"You have seen the true face of 'Yue Yayan'." The handsome young man in white smiled and opened his hands to him. "This is something to show off. After all, there are some people who can't show off this in their lifetime..."

"You..." Tao Mo opened his mouth. He only felt that his whole body was going to be frozen by the chill. When he took another step back, he found that there was a closed door behind him, but he was still standing in front of him. The stranger who was so familiar.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, turning into falling meteors.All the assumptions he had made for Bai Wangyan in his mind were useless in an instant.He thought that the killer was just a woman who looked similar to Bai Wangyan, he thought that Bai Wangyan was just a scholar, and he thought that only Bai Wangyan would not lie to him... He even went to meet his senior brother Tang for Bai Wangyan Lin argues, to refute his uncle Ge Baiyou, to persuade Tantai Ying...

"He doesn't know martial arts, he's just a scholar with no hands, and he's the one in my heart."

Everything seems to be a joke at this moment.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tao Mo raised his head, looked at Bai Wangyan, and asked in an almost pleading tone, "Are you lying to me?"

Bai Wangyan looked at the black-clothed swordsman in front of him, and it was the first time he saw Tao Mo showing such an expression, so...hesitant and helpless, this pleading expression was like a dull blade, sharpening his instincts one by one. I thought I had already prepared my heart.

"This is the only thing I didn't lie to you," Bai Wangyan said word by word, "Your senior brother didn't say a single word wrong, I am Yue Yayan. Qin Xian Shang Qiuming's first apprentice, Shuangyue Pavilion'Ya Envoy' , I was the one who was going to kill the Moon Lancer that night, and I was the one who was ripped off by you." He tried his best to keep a smile on his face, but when he saw Tao Mo's distraught look, he still couldn't bear it. I can't help but want to go forward and hug my lover like before.

But this is now a luxury.

Ever since he met the black-clothed swordsman in the bamboo forest that night, he had already anticipated the current outcome, but he couldn't stop there.It was a decision he had risked everything on, a decision he had been planning for 12 years.

Now it is just the most dangerous move to take.

But why is the heart so full of pain?

"Why?" Tao Mo looked at the person in front of him, his expression was in a trance, and even Wu Ye seemed to lose his eyesight. He murmured, "What on earth do I have that you can lie to?"

"For..." Bai Wangyan took a deep breath, twitched the corners of his mouth, and made up another lie that he had already prepared.

"For the key of the unknown palace."
