Chu Lan jumped down from the roof, and he whispered, "Miss Xiaoyue, I'm sorry for causing you trouble these days, I'm leaving now."

Li Yue frowned delicately when she heard the words: "Let's go? It's so late, where are you going?"

While paying attention to the movement outside, Chu Lan said, "Someone outside is looking for me. If they find me here, they will cause trouble for you."

Li Yue was stunned and asked, "Looking for you? Who? Your enemies? They want to kill you? Did you fall into the sea because..."

Just as he was talking, there were suddenly clear footsteps outside, and besides that, there were voices of someone talking.

"Xianjun, this is Lao Li's house. Lao Li caught a man in the sea a few days ago, and he probably hasn't left yet."

Chu Lan's expression froze, they came so fast!

Li Yue also heard the sound. She glanced at Chu Lan and warned him to stand still and not to move. Then she tiptoed carefully to the gate of the courtyard and glanced out along the crack of the door.

Li Yue quickly backed away, and she took Chu Lan's arm to prevent him from leaving: "There are a lot of people outside, you will definitely not be able to escape if you go out."

She rolled her eyes and soon had an idea: "Come with me."

Li Yue took Chu Lan back to his room. She lifted the quilt and mat on the bed, and then forcefully lifted the bed board, only to see a large space under the bed board.

Li Yue explained to Chu Lan in a quick tone: "Our bed is made by myself, and things can be placed under it, and it doesn't look strange from the outside. If you hide inside, they won't find out."

Chu Lan frowned and said, "No..."

"Oh, it's fine." Li Yue said, "If they ask, I'll tell you that you've already left."

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and Li Yue urged, "Hurry up, there's no time." At this point, Chu Lan had no choice but to step in and hide.

Li Yue closed the bed, and quickly folded the bedding on the bed neatly and carried them into the cabinet. She didn't leave the room until she was sure that there were no traces of occupants in the room.

Walking to the door, after thinking about it, Li Yue found another lock and locked the door before she was completely relieved.

After doing all this, the door to the next room was opened. Li Hu rubbed his eyes and said, "Sister? I seem to hear someone knocking on the door. Are parents back?"

Li Yue glanced at the direction of the courtyard gate, walked over to hold his younger brother, and whispered to him, "Don't talk for a while, you will listen to my sister, you understand?"

Li Hu yawned, his eyes were watery and he was a little dazed, but he nodded obediently.Only then did Li Yue raise her voice: "Here, come, who is it so late?"

The courtyard door was opened, and there were many people standing outside the door, densely packed and very lively.

The young people standing at the front were wearing uniforms and carrying swords behind their backs.Standing behind them were the villagers who had been woken up to watch the excitement.

Li Yue looked at the young people in front of her, and asked doubtfully, "May I ask who you are?"

It was the first time Li Hu saw this kind of battle, and he shrank behind Li Yue in fright.

When the leading young man saw Li Yue's face clearly, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he couldn't even control himself to take a step forward.Li Yue retreated into the yard and looked at him warily.

The young man may also have realized that he was abrupt, he stopped, and said in a soft tone: "Girl, don't be afraid, we are Ming Guangzong disciples, not bad people."

Ming Guangzong!

Li Yue opened her eyes wide, unable to hide her surprise, and Li Hu couldn't help opening her mouth wide.They finally saw the live Ming Guangzong disciples!

After the initial surprise, Li Yue couldn't help but wonder, why did the Ming Guangzong people arrest Chu Lan?

Putting down her doubts for a while, Li Yue said: "Several celestial lords, you came here late at night, what's the matter?"

"Looking for someone." The young man in charge took the portrait from his companion and handed it to Li Yue, "Miss, have you ever seen this boy in a painting?"

With the faint firelight, Li Yue saw that the person in the painting was indeed Chu Lan.

Li Hu couldn't help opening his mouth after seeing the portrait, but he closed his mouth again thinking of his sister's advice.

The young man did not ignore the change in Li Hu's expression. He half bent over and said to Li Hu with a smile: "Little brother, have you seen the man in the painting? Tell brother, where is he now?"

For some reason, Li Hu was a little afraid of the young man in front of him. Seeing him leaning over, he shrank behind Li Yue again.

Seeing Li Hu like this, the smile on the young man's face couldn't hold back.

Li Yue was worried that Li Hu would offend the people in front of her, so she hurriedly said: "Xianjun, my younger brother is a little shy, so don't be so fussy with him."

The young man stood up straight and said with a smile, "How come, girl, your brother is very cute."

Li Yue was silent for a while, and said: "Xianjun, can I ask what the boy in this painting did? Why are you looking for him?"

The young man said: "This man is in collusion with the demons, he is a traitor of the fairy sect. Girl, do you know where he is now?"

When he said this, his eyes glanced over Li Yue, and cast his eyes on the yard behind her.

Li Yue glanced at the villagers watching the excitement in front of the courtyard. When Chu Lan was rescued, so many people saw it, so she couldn't lie about this matter.

After thinking about it, Li Yue said: "I have indeed seen the young man in this painting. My father fished it out of the sea a few days ago. He stayed at my house for a few days, but it is unfortunate that you came here, Xianjun, and he has already left. gone."

After thinking about it again and again, Li Yue decided to trust her eyes—Chu Lan didn't look like a bad person, and grandma still liked him so much.

Some of the villagers said: "Yue girl, why didn't I see that person leave?"

Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but frowned, "Girl, that person is carrying demon flames and is extremely dangerous. Don't hide anything."

Li Yue faced everyone's gaze and said calmly: "I didn't lie to you, he seemed to have something to do, and he left before dawn."

After speaking, as if afraid that they would not believe it, Li Yue stepped aside: "If Xianjun is suspicious, you can go in and search."

The young man said: "Then excuse me." He said with a wave of his hand, and the two companions followed him into the yard, leaving one guard at the gate.

Such a movement woke up the Li family's grandpa and Li's grandma.

Li Yue walked up to the two elderly people, and said to the three people who entered the door: "It's very late now, grandparents are getting old, they need to rest more, you should search their rooms first."

The three young people looked at each other: "Okay."

After they finished their investigation, Li Yue and his younger brother helped the two old people into the room, comforted them in a low voice, and then walked out.

The Li family's yard is not big, and it won't be long before there are many searches. Finally, the eyes of the three people fell on the locked room.

Noticing their gazes, Li Yue explained softly: "This room is usually used to store sundries. When guests come to the house, it will be cleaned up and used as a guest room. The person you are looking for has lived here for a few days. , I locked the house." After a pause, he said, "Wait for me, I'll find the key."
