Chapter 5. Peer

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Ziqing slowly woke up and turned around in bed. The exhaustion all over his body disappeared after the night's rest. He sat up and saw a white pigeon landed on the window sill, pacing leisurely.

It's Master's homing pigeon!Xiao Ziqing's eyes lit up suddenly, he got up and walked to the window sill, and caught the carrier pigeon. As expected, he saw a small paper scroll on its leg.He took off the scroll and went back to bed.

Opening it up, it was the master's handwriting, which roughly meant that he didn't have to go back to the master's school, and instead went directly to Xianlin Town, where he had a meeting with other senior brothers, and explained the reason for letting him go.

Xiao Ziqing looked at the words on the paper, and gradually frowned. It turned out that this was the reason why the master asked him to come out in a hurry. The martial arts conference was about to be held, and the leader of the demon sect was going to disrupt the situation. No one knew what he would do.

Thinking of this, he understood the purpose of this trip, Xiao Ziqing crumpled the paper roll in his palm, and within a moment, a ball of powder leaked out from between his fingers and scattered on the ground.

After a quick wash, Xiao Ziqing went downstairs to have breakfast with his bag. The only tael left was enough for breakfast, and if there was too much, he would run out, so he had to go to Dingbao Bank to get some silver. He thought Big Brother Ye said The situation like this would never happen, but I didn't expect it to happen to him.

Walking downstairs and sitting down in a quiet place, Xiao Ziqing was about to call Xiaoer over when suddenly a childish voice sounded in his ears, and he turned his head to look.

"Beautiful brother, do you want to buy flowers?" I saw a little girl holding the hand of a little boy, and holding a basket full of flowers in the other hand, looking at him expectantly. She was still very young and didn't know anything, just stood aside and stared at the little girl foolishly.

Xiao Ziqing didn't speak. Looking at the little boy behind the little girl and the calluses on the little girl's hands that didn't belong to her age, he knew how much these two children had suffered. So he pursed his lips slightly and said softly: "How do you sell your flowers?"

"It's very cheap, brother, let's buy one." The little girl saw that the brother in front of her seemed to have the intention of buying her flowers, so she quickly introduced them, and with the other hand, she firmly held the little boy next to her.

Xiao Ziqing listened to her patiently. The little boy in front of him seemed to have changed his face. He was stunned for a while, then came back to his senses.It's not impossible to buy all these flowers, but it means that he can't buy breakfast.Xiao Ziqing thought for a while, then took out the silver in the bag and handed it to the little girl.

"Thank you pretty brother!" The little girl still couldn't believe that the person in front of her bought all her flowers so generously, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your brother is hungry, go and buy him something to eat." Xiao Ziqing smiled slightly, reached out and slowly stroked the soft hair on the little boy's head, and said softly.

The little girl nodded heavily, and happily took the little boy away. Xiao Ziqing sat where he was, and he couldn't have breakfast without the silver, so let's go to get the money first. It's a long way to go, so we have to hurry up to have lunch.Thinking of this, he was about to get up and leave, but when he was standing up, a voice came from not far away.

Standing at the stairs, Xuanyuan Chen witnessed the scene where Xiao Ziqing bought all the flowers of the flower girl just now, and naturally saw that there was not much money left in his baggage, and he was out of money and wanted to help others. What.

"Young Master Xiao is kind." Xuanyuanchen walked to the table where Xiao Ziqing was, sat down slowly, raised his hand to let Xiao Er come over, and ordered a lot of meals in one go. Seeing Xiao Ziqing's surprised look, he said in a deep voice: "Look For the sake of the predestined relationship between you and me, I invite you to this meal, Young Master Xiao, please sit down."

Hearing this, Xiao Ziqing looked at Xuanyuan Chen with some embarrassment, and after thinking for a while, said in a low voice: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. I can solve it myself, so I don't need to bother you."

"Master Xiao, does this despise me?" Xuanyuan Chen asked in a deep voice, with a little dissatisfaction in his tone.

"That's not the case." Xiao Ziqing met Xuanyuanchen's gaze and continued, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, I..."

"Xuanyuan Chen," Xuanyuan Chen took a sip of water and said in a low voice, "If you don't mind my name, then sit down and have a good meal, and leave after eating."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Xuanyuan for your kindness. It's just that my friend's bank is some distance away. After I go to get the money, I will definitely thank Mr. Xuanyuan." Xiao Ziqing thought for a moment, then sat down at the table after clasping his fists.

"You don't need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, I just want a reward." Xuanyuan Chen glanced at him lightly, then leaned over, raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me who you are."

Xiao Ziqing was taken aback, did this person know his identity?But listening to his tone, it seemed to be deliberately probing, he pondered for a while, and said with a light smile: "Who am I, don't you already know?"

"No, I'm talking about your identity." Xuanyuan Chen shook his head and replied.

Hearing what he said, Xiao Ziqing confirmed that the person in front of him did not know his identity. His identity had been kept secret all these years, and it was unreasonable for it to be known so easily.Thinking of this, Xiao Ziqing slapped a haha, and muddled through.

Xuanyuan Chen naturally heard the perfunctory meaning in his words, and was not angry. He picked up his chopsticks and started to eat breakfast. It doesn't matter if he doesn't tell him, he has plenty of ways to investigate.

However, the two people at the same table had different thoughts. Xiao Ziqing drank the porridge silently, thinking in his heart how to prevent the person in front of him from finding out his identity. He wrote a note to his confidant in the mansion, expressing his request.After finishing writing, he was relieved a lot.

With the help of the people in the mansion, no matter how Yeren searched, he could not find out Xiao Ziqing's real identity, not even a trace, which made Xuanyuanchen very puzzled.What kind of person is it that can't find out his true identity at all? Should it be said that he is innocent, or is his method too powerful?

******

On this day, Xiao Ziqing was about to continue on the road. He first rushed to Dingbao Bank to get the banknotes and exchanged some broken silver, and then he went on the road with confidence. It didn't take long for him to meet Xuanyuanchen and Yeren again. .

"What a coincidence." Seeing Xiao Ziqing's surprised expression, Xuanyuan Chen spoke first.

Xiao Ziqing nodded and didn't answer. He was walking alone, but no matter which way he went, Xuanyuan Chen and the two followed him behind him, which made him very puzzled. After noon, he finally couldn't help turning around and asking: "Why is Mr. Xuanyuan so obsessed with following?"

Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrows and replied, "Who said I followed you?"

Xiao Ziqing frowned, and asked back, "Where is Master Xuanyuan going?"

"Xianlin Town," Xuanyuan Chen answered without hesitation. Seeing Xiao Ziqing's puzzled face suddenly brightened, he knew that he was also going to Xianlin Town. "Since we are on the same road, why not go together?" identity.

Seeing Xuanyuan Chen's sincere expression, Xiao Ziqing couldn't refuse immediately, he simply went to the next town and parted ways with him, so he nodded slightly, agreeing to the request.

Xuanyuan Chen had a panoramic view of his expression and didn't say much.In the afternoon, the three of Xiao Ziqing and his party arrived at the next location - Hongye Town. The three found an inn at random. As soon as they stepped into the door, they heard the enthusiastic voice of the younger brother, "Young masters, should you stay at the inn?"

Xiao Ziqing looked at Xiao Er, and replied softly, "Tip."

"Okay." The second brother led the three of them to a seat by the window, and after they ordered food, they went to serve others.Xiao Ziqing sat on the seat and turned to look out the window.

Soon the dishes came out, not delicacies from mountains and seas, but because the three of them had traveled for half a day and were hungry, they were all eaten up in a short time.

Putting down the chopsticks, Xiao Ziqing was about to ask the second brother to come and pay the bill, when suddenly a few men with weapons came in from the door and sat down on the table next to them loudly, one of them opened his mouth without hesitation: "Brother , How long will it take to reach Xianlin Town? I heard that the leader of the Demon Cult is also going to Xianlin Town. You said that this is a good martial arts conference, why should he interfere with it as an outsider?"

"Who knows what he thinks?" The man called "Brother" replied with a nonchalant face, and suddenly he approached the man beside him, and said in a very soft voice: "This Demon Cult leader is not a good person, there are so many people, At least you should pay attention, right? He is a monster, how could we guess what he was thinking, so hurry up and eat and go to Xianlin Town."

Xiao Ziqing didn't speak, and quietly listened to the conversation of the two people next to him. Suddenly, he saw Ye Ren's hand move very slightly, and quickly retracted it without a trace, taking a glass of water to drink.

This small movement did not escape Xiao Ziqing's eyes. Could it be that this person's reaction to those two people's criticisms had something to do with the Devil's Cult?Xiao Ziqing lowered his head, kept his thoughts in his head, and didn't say much.

In that case, he might as well go with them, and try to find out where Xuanyuanchen came from, so he raised his head, glanced at Xuanyuanchen and Yeren, and asked, "When will Mr. Xuanyuan leave?"

Xuanyuan Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. He naturally saw Ye Ren's little action just now, and he also took a full view of Xiao Ziqing's reaction. This man was obviously suspicious, so he wanted to continue walking with them and test them by the way?That's okay, it must be a lot of fun on the road.

"Don't rush to leave today, let's rest first, after passing Hongye Town, there are many mountains and forests, so we can't stay in the inn often." Xuanyuan Chen thought for a while, and said seriously.So the three of them went back to their respective rooms and took a rest first.

Back in the room, Xuanyuan Chen immediately asked Ye Ren to continue to investigate Xiao Ziqing's identity. At night, Ye Ren returned from the outside, but still did not find out any details, only a few scattered clues obtained by unsophisticated means .

"You mean, he might be related to the court?" Xuanyuan Chen asked back after hearing Ye Ren's report.

"It's just a suspicion, not sure." Ye Ren replied with his head bowed.

Xuanyuanchen didn't answer, no matter whether he was sure or not, that person had already aroused his interest, he moved his fingers, and sat down beside the bed. In order to prevent Xiao Ziqing from knowing his identity, he didn't even have the Tianjue sword next to him. hid.

Xuanyuanchen sat for a while, raised his hand to let Yeren go down, and took out the Tianjue Sword and stroked it slowly, but he thought of Xiao Ziqing's gentle face in his mind.

It seems that you are not simple.
