The first floor of Luhua Tianxia

"Are you cold?" Hua Manlou asked him again, as soon as his hand touched the skin, Lu Xiaofeng felt a burning sensation in his heart.

Lu Xiaofeng's fingers were icy, Hua Manlou wrapped them in his warm palm, just as Lu Xiaofeng wanted to say something, the other party preempted him.

"I don't want you to thank me."

He never doubted that the friendship between Hua Manlou and his confidant could stand the test of any personnel time.He just didn't think about it, feeling wanton, far beyond the boundaries that should be,

Lu Xiaofeng may not care about other people's eyes, but Mr. Hua still wants to live under all kinds of eyes.

So he would rather be a prodigal son who is nostalgic for flowers and wine.

Hearing Hua Manlou say this now, how could he be the blind man pretending to be in this relationship again.

"I'm very cold, do you want to warm me up?" Hearing what he said, Hua Manlou smiled, he could hear the swallowed end of Lu Xiaofeng's pretending to be calm voice, revealing his inner tension.

When he held Lu Xiaofeng's hands in front of him, those hands were already on fire and didn't need anything to warm them up.Also hot was Lu Xiaofeng's face.

Lu Xiaofeng thought at the moment, Hua Manlou in front of him could feel it like this, so he simply moved his hand around the back of Hua Manlou's neck, and closed his mouth while the other party was in a daze.

Very good, now Hua Manlou's face is as red as his.

This was the warmest night Lu Xiaofeng had these days.

"Bang bang bang,"

This was also the most sound night he had slept in half a month.Lu Xiaofeng didn't even hear the approaching footsteps until he was awakened by the sound of knocking on his ears.

The rough knocking sound was amplified in his ears through the wood, Lu Xiaofeng wanted to move subconsciously.The interior space of the coffin was not spacious enough for him to use it, and Hua Manlou woke up with a soft snort under his pressure.Lu Xiaofeng stretched completely, the agarwood cover fell on the ground,

The people standing outside jumped away in shock, and a bundle of firewood, which was thicker than others, fell to the ground.

Lu Xiaofeng frowned his thick black eyebrows, but didn't ask any questions.

On this isolated golden jade pagoda, outside is knee-deep snow, where can this thin-skinned and tender-skinned woodcutter come from.Since he intends to pretend, but pretends not to be distracted, there is likely to be a lot of fuss in it.

It's just that Lu Xiaofeng doesn't have much energy left to think about it.

The woodcutter bowed slightly to the two of them, and straightened his sleeves. Before he could speak, Lu Xiaofeng had guessed his identity pretty well from Hua Manlou's face beside him.

"We met before, Mr. Lu." Now Lu Xiaofeng also remembered that this bearded man was the caravan owner who was doing business with Zuo Xuan.Seeing his thoughts, the other party tore off all the glue on his face,

"Wu...boss?" Lu Xiaofeng opened his mouth,

The other party nodded: "Wu Ke, the boss can go."

This is really a random name. Before I said it this time, I saw Wu Ke turned around and gave another salute to Hua Manlou.

"Master,"

Lu Xiaofeng's face darkened instantly,

"Master is waiting for you to go back."

The tone of the few numbers is respectful and emotionless, but there is no room for negotiation.

Different from Lu Xiaofeng's ugly face, Hua Manlou didn't even notice the slightest bit of surprise, as if she had a bottom line in her heart and naturally she wouldn't make waves.The morning sun gilded his half-down eyelashes into gold, and the gold trembled a few times suddenly, it was Wu Ke who stepped forward a few steps to the front, and his figure blocked the incoming light.

Hua Manlou picked up the fur coat he had when he came last night, put it on carefully, and then said the first sentence of the day,

"Let's go together, Brother Lu."

When Lu Xiaofeng followed and walked down the steps with the two of them, he realized that there was a lot of work under the golden and jade pagoda.Wu Ke lit the torch and approached the black wall, the wax covering the outer layer melted, and what was hidden inside was the golden brick engraved with a zigzag map.

Guest Wu took a closer look and remembered them all in his heart, so he took the lead and walked in the front.

After walking for a short time, they probably reached the bottom of the frozen lake, and the air in the tunnel was thin and the fire was about to go out.Wu Ke took two more firewood from his back and handed one to Lu Xiaofeng.

So that was why he was carrying the bundle of branches.The flame of the fire stick was also swaying and flickering from time to time, at least it was a tool for lighting, and secondly, it was also a thing for heating in this icy cold space.

Although Huamanlou didn't need the torch, it was the first time he encountered this secret passage, and the two could only follow Wu Ke step by step.Lu Xiaofeng held the torch in one hand and was careful not to let it get wet, and at the same time, he had to pay attention to the hard rocks protruding from all sides.

Everywhere there is a narrow hole that can only be bent down to move through, Lu Xiaofeng gently cushions it with the palm of his hand to prevent him from knocking.

In the end, he simply wrapped Huamanlou in his arms, Wu Ke gave them a meaningful look, but Huamanlou leaned against him without caring.

The icy lake above their heads was not very wide, but they walked for a long time in the dark passage, far longer than crossing the glacial river.When there were only the last two firewood on Wu Ke's back, Lu Xiaofeng let out a long sigh of relief. He knew that the end of this passage was finally ahead.

Of course Lu Xiaofeng would not be foolish enough to think that he could walk from the Devil's Cult back to the south of the Yangtze River after such a long journey, but he never imagined that after stepping on the last stone step, his eyes would still be covered in thick darkness.

Wu Ke lightly sent a signal to the sky, and the three of them stood silently on this directionless land.

The first thing Lu Xiaofeng saw were the palace lanterns coming from afar, the person holding the lanterns was still hidden in the dark night, and even his footsteps were extremely light and slow.

He didn't have anything to say, and Huamanlou naturally couldn't feel the strangeness of this town. Since he came here, all he thought about was all unnecessary troubles. He dragged Huamanlou's hand and followed Wu Ke. Behind, Wu Ke closely followed the orange palace lantern, and the group continued to walk wordlessly.

------------

Hua Manlou secretly squeezed his hand tightly, as if understanding his anxiety.A silent movement became his most solid courage in the darkness, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly thought of how important it is for Hua Manlou to stand by his side.No matter how the time and place change, there is no need for any words, as long as he is like this, he will stand by his side silently.

The border town that refuses to light up has the same name as him, Phoenix.

Light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black Phoenix Town, and the light reflected a white building. Except for the shining night pearls as lights, this white building did not have any decorations.

Hua Manlou's eyes dimmed under the streamer of the pearl,

"Lu Xiaofeng," Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback. He hadn't heard Hua Manlou call him that for a long time, but the other party didn't speak after the call, but left with Wu Ke, leaving him alone to face Gao The tall hanging beams were in a daze.

The person who came out was Zuo Xuan, when Lu Xiaofeng saw him, he let out a long breath as if relieved from a heavy burden,

"Fortunately, fortunately, it's you."

"So what if it's me?"

"It's you and I won't be sad for losing any more friends." Lu Xiaofeng's unfriendly tone didn't affect Zuo Xuan at all, his expression remained the same, as if he had expected even Lu Xiaofeng's sarcasm.Since returning to the Devil's Cult, Zuo Xuan has never dressed as a Taoist priest again, and today he doesn't have the dark green embroidered robe of an elder, but is wearing a dark blue gown, an ordinary color, and an ordinary fabric .

"Unexpectedly, the landlord in Tsing Yi not only lives in such simple clothes, but also personally takes care of the trivial affairs by pretending to be various roles," Lu Xiaofeng said again with a thorn in his mouth.

"You talk so much, you're just avoiding the question you really want to ask."

Lu Xiaofeng choked, rolled his eyes, looked at the other side and smiled, "Then I won't ask, why don't you tell me directly."

"Okay," Zuo Xuan answered quickly, "The first question is, am I the Tsing Yi landlord? I used to be."

Lu Xiaofeng choked again, "What does it mean to have been?"

Zuo Xuan finally showed the silky cat's smile to the mouse, "What I used to mean is that I am no longer." He looked at the Rakshasa card hanging on Lu Xiaofeng's waist with his eyes, and his face was like a smile, but not a smile, " Hasn’t the landlord changed his surname to Lu?”

Why did the three words come out of Lu Xiaofeng's surprised mouth involuntarily, and Zuo Xuan asked him back, "Don't you think you got too deep in the matter of Qingyi Building?"

"First found Huo Xiu's small building, and then discovered the secret of Yuehua Building. When you come to the Demon Sect, you should know that you can't go back."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't answer for a moment, he was still thinking about many unsolved doubts, and then he listened to the other party continue,

"A troublesome enemy that can't be solved, the best way is to turn him into a friend." After a pause, Zuo Xuan added as if deliberately provoking him, "Even if it is, a reluctant friend."

Lu Xiaofeng stood there in a daze, and finally took a look at the opposite side,

"A person's first impression is really accurate," he said sullenly,

"The first time I met Zhang Laoguan, I knew that I hated you."
