However, on the second day, Hai Jing had no choice but to hide, because the disciples of the various sects were roaming the streets and alleys.Hai Jingfang dodged several Xuelian Pavilion disciples, and seeing another martial artist approaching, he hurriedly hid in a street corner.

At this time, a passerby suddenly bumped into him, and then apologized repeatedly.Hai Jing shook his head nonchalantly, and tightly held the extra note in his hand.

As soon as the man left, Hai Jing unfolded the note in the corner, and saw a few words written on it: Xunji Tea Shop, a cup of green buds, and a box of shortbread.

He tore up the note, threw it into a ditch, and walked towards Xunji Tea Shop.At this time, there were few customers in the shop, Xiaoer was wiping the tables and chairs with a rag, when he saw him, he greeted him hospitablely, "Guest officer, come here, please, what would you like to drink?"

Hai Jing glanced at him, and didn't look for a table to sit down, but said, "Here's a cup of Cui Ya and a box of shortbread."

The Xiaoer's eyes lit up, and he immediately led him into a room downstairs.Hai Jingfang pushed open the door, and saw Hai Yuan was sitting at the table, gracefully carrying the tea bowl, lifted the lid and gently brushed it on the tea water.

Hearing Hai Jing's footsteps, Hai Yuan put down the tea bowl, looked sideways, his eyes were full of worry, "It's great to see you are fine, come on, sit down and have a cup of tea first."

Hai Jing pulled the armchair and sat down, "How do you know I'm in the city?"

Hai Yuan smiled and said: "I'm going to marry Xue Ying today, I knew you would come no matter what, so I sent someone to search in the city, and I found you."

Hai Jing chuckled meaninglessly and said nothing more.Hai Yuan took a sip of the tea, and said seriously, "Hai Jing, it seems that you have been acting together with the Nether Valley Master?"

"Well, but he didn't accompany me here to attend your wedding." Hai Jing looked at the tea on the table, but never picked it up.

"Really? It's a pity. I planned to take this opportunity to let you capture Feng Xiangyue in front of everyone and hand it over to the Lord Jun to show your innocence and return to Hailan Villa. Now it seems that I have to find another way." .” Hai Yuan couldn’t help showing regret.

But Hai Jing replied coldly: "There's no need to think of anything else, I won't attack Nether Valley."

Haiyuan froze for a moment, stood up abruptly, and stared at Hai Jing in disbelief, "Why?! This is an excellent opportunity for you to return to Hailan Villa, and it will also improve the reputation of Hailan Villa!"

Hai Jing stared at Hai Yuan silently, and there seemed to be other meanings on his half-smile.

Haiyuan took a deep breath, calmed down, sat back on the chair slumped, and clenched his fingers tightly, "Hai Jing, listen to me, although I don't know why you changed your mind, we don't have to. Hurry now, as long as you are still in Nether Valley, we can think of other ways..."

"You don't need to say any more, I'm just here to tell you my decision, I'm sorry to disappoint you." Seeing that he was still persuading himself, Hai Jing interrupted him, got up and planned to leave.

He was about to turn around, but Hai Yuan gently grabbed his hand, "Hai Jing, since you insist on doing this, I won't stop you... It's okay, just do what you want, even if you are in the Nether Valley, Even if the world regards you as a smiling thief, I have never doubted you, you will always be my Xiong-Di."

The corners of Hai Jing's mouth curled up, but his smile was somewhat disdainful.He shook off Hai Yuan's hand and left the tea shop in a hurry without saying anything.

As soon as he left, Hai Yuan sighed heavily.

As the sigh fell, there was a creaking sound of the door opening.Behind the curtain hanging on the north wall, a door slowly opened, and Xing Wushuang walked out from it.

Hai Yuan didn't even look at him, but just wiped his face heavily, "I didn't expect Hai Jing to stand on the side of Nether Valley. Now our plan cannot be successfully completed."

Xing Wushuang played with the folding fan in his hand, and sat down opposite Haiyuan, but his face was calm, "It's not a problem, as long as we find Feng Xiangyue and get rid of him, the dragons in Nether Valley will have no leader, and they will fall apart soon."

Hai Yuan wondered, "Find him? But Hai Jing just said that he didn't come here."

"Master Hai, haven't you seen why Hai Jing suddenly doesn't want to attack Nether Valley?" Xing Wushuang shook his head and snapped the folding fan in his hand, "No one can escape the word love. Xiangyue will definitely not let Hai Jing come alone, he must be near Mingcheng."

Only then did Haiyuan show a look of comprehension, but he frowned immediately, "However, we don't know where he is. If someone follows Hai Jing, he will be found soon."

"Sometimes, animals are more useful than humans." Xing Wushuang rolled his eyes shrewdly, "Did you forget the face powder I put on your hand just now? When you held Hai Jing's hand, the face powder was already sticking On him. It's so faint that he doesn't notice it, but the dog can smell it."

Hai Yuan suddenly showed joy, "As expected of Mr. Xing, he is really thoughtful." He paused, and looked at Xing Wushuang tentatively, "After the matter is completed, I hope that Mr. Xing can claim that this is the merit of Hai Lanzhuang. I will give you the bounty behind my back."

Xing Wushuang smiled and nodded, "I understand."

Only then did Hai Yuan feel relieved, since Hai Yingxing's death, Hai Jing has been squeezed out by the villa and has done little.All the achievements of Hailan Villa were bought by Haiyuan like this, coupled with the generous rewards, this made Hailanzhuang's reputation even louder than when Hai Yingxing was there.

However, the consequence of this is that Hailanzhuang has been short of funds year by year, and now it can't make ends meet.

Therefore, Hai Yuan planned to marry Xue Ying, the eldest daughter of Feng Ye Zhuang, who had a rich family, in order to allow Hai Lan Zhuang to maintain this status quo.

Xing Wushuang pursed his lips and smiled, knowing Hai Yuan's thoughts like the palm of his hand, "However, the credit can be given to you, but you have to give Hai Jing to me and Mr. Xue."

"Of course, after Feng Xiangyue dies, I will capture him in the name of the Hai family, and you can do whatever you want at that time." Hai Yuan agreed without thinking.

"Okay, your words are enough." Xing Wushuang nodded in satisfaction, put the folding fan in his waist, and left the door he just entered with his hands behind his back.

After Hai Jing left the tea shop, he carefully walked to the willow tree next to the city gate, avoiding the sight of the martial arts people.He lingered under the tree for a while, poked the soil with his toes, and found that there was no note, so he turned back and walked towards Hailan Villa.

But not long after he walked, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he shrank sideways in the dark.Because a handsome man wearing a yellow silk gown appeared in front of him, it was Jun Linyue, the leader of the martial arts alliance.

Jun Linyue didn't bring any disciples or subordinates, just walked slowly by himself, every move was graceful and natural, and the jade tree was facing the wind, causing many people to stop and look sideways.He seemed to exude an indescribable nobility just by standing on the street, and he was quite different from everyone else.

However, Hai Jing looked at him, but he didn't have any good impressions. He only felt that there was something in his shallow smile, and his heart felt a little chilly.

Thinking of this, Hai Jing suppressed his breath, kept a certain distance from Jun Linyue, and followed behind him.Not long after, I saw Jun Linyue walking into a teahouse.

Hai Jing knew that he must not have come here to drink tea, so he quietly went around the window of the teahouse, cast his gaze inward the moment he passed the window, but couldn't help being surprised.

In the window, Xing Wushuang was sitting opposite Jun Linyue. The two were fiddling with teacups, whispering and laughing from time to time, just like two old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.

This scene may look unsuspicious to others, but Hai Jing knows that their conversation must be extraordinary.

But because he couldn't hear the conversation between the two, Hai Jing didn't stay outside the teahouse for a long time, but went back outside Hai Lan Manor.

At this time, the gate of Hailanzhuang was decorated with lights and festoons, and people came and went.Hai Jing was hidden in a corner outside the wall, although he couldn't see what was going on inside the village, he could still hear laughter and laughter.

Aside from the excitement, the defense in the village was not bad at all. All the sects sent disciples to help patrol, and there was no loophole to take advantage of.Hai Jing had no choice but to stand outside, quietly listening to the commotion in the village.

Fine snowflakes fell in the sky, Hai Jing leaned his head up against the wall, staring at the flying white snow particles under the sky, suddenly recalled the smile on Hai Yingxing's face when he and the Eight Gates School went to Lingxian Peak three years ago, and the sentence like a proverb farewell -

"Hai Jing, if I don't come back, Hailan Villa will be protected by you."

At that time, I opened my eyes wide in surprise, "Don't be kidding, you are so strong, how could you not come back?..."

Hai Yingxing's smile suddenly became complicated, and he looked towards the sky, as if he wanted to see a more distant world through the sky, "Because the opponent this time may be stronger than me..."

He sighed silently, turned around and held Hai Jing's arm, "Hai Jing, can you promise me? Protect Hailan Villa instead of me."

Looking into those deep eyes, Hai Jing nodded slowly, "Okay, I promise you...but I will wait for you to come back, I believe you will come back!"

However, ten days later, Hai Yingxing really failed to come back, and would never come back again.

He left with Hai Jing's promise, but he could never see the tears that were about to fall in Hai Jing's eyes on that snowy night.

And the promise at the time of parting, like a drop of thick ink, fell in Hai Jing's heart, and it could not be melted away even after a lifetime.

Withdrawing his thoughts from the memory, Hai Jing sighed softly, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "Father, don't worry... I will protect Hailan Villa for you to the end, even if in this village, Everyone is against me."
