Did the Palace Master break up with his Taoist companion today?

"Surname Xie?" Feng Nie frowned.

What they both thought of at the same time was Xie Yu'an, whose whereabouts were still unknown.

But Feng Qingxue was a little girl, Xie Yuan was already the palace lord at that time and his wife was still alive, and she looked like a middle-aged person in her 50s or [-]s, so it shouldn't be possible.Regardless of whether it was Jimo Chen that Feng Nie saw back then, at least it was verified that it was a young man.

Lu Mingyao's thoughts were strange: "If what Qiu Tianmin said is true and Xie Yu'an is a liar in love, is it possible for him to pretend to be Jimo Chen to deceive your third sister?"

As soon as these words came out, the two of them fell into silence again.

It's not because of how likely this guess is to be correct, it's just that the thought of that assumption makes me a little sick.

"Probably not." Feng Nie said, "The Feng clan is very sensitive to the aura of people around them. Xie Yu'an should have been there when Immortal Palace imprisoned her. If Xie Yu'an was the one who deceived her, she would definitely recognize it immediately."

Instead of persuading at the last moment that not everyone in the Immortal Dao is untrustworthy.

"Forget it, things should become clear when we find Xie Yu'an." Lu Mingyao said, "I asked you to accompany me out of the Immortal Palace today. I didn't really want you to accompany me to Jimo's house to do such a boring thing. There is another thing I need to ask you to do it."

As he spoke, he took out the wooden box he got from Bai Xi and handed it to Feng Nie.

·

Lu Mingyao came to Jimo's house alone, and the servants of the mansion received him.He didn't reveal his identity, and the servants who had never been to the Immortal Palace didn't recognize him, but after hearing that he was Jimochen's friend, he planned to recruit someone to take him there.

But they saw an idle man in red suddenly appearing in their line of sight, with a familiar charm in his cold voice: "I also know this friend, let me come."

Lu Mingyao was slightly startled, and hesitated to call out the other party's name: "...Ye Li?" How could he be at Jimo's house?

"Is the Palace Master surprised?" After receiving the person, Ye Li led him out of the courtyard of the main house, "He doesn't believe in the effect of karma Gu, and he came back to look for him after failing to ascend to the small realm during the small tribulation a while ago. .”

"However, it's not that you don't know your guardian's tough temper and bottom line. You would rather die than stay with me in the newly built Chunri Building."

It seemed to have snowed in the morning.

Now that the sun is shining, although the snow on the stone road has melted, it is still slippery when walking, so you need to be extra careful.

Ye Li said proudly and magnanimously: "I saw him pitiful and didn't want to see an innocent person die because of me, so I wronged myself to stay by his side for the time being and run around with him. It's my bad luck Encountering this kind of thing made me almost lose my life by following him a while ago."

"Hmph, if I didn't have a little understanding of tactics, would they survive until they were rescued?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Li was also there when Jimo Chen and his Immortal Palace guardian team were on a mission.

Lu Mingyao noticed that the direction Ye Li led him was getting farther and farther away from the main house, and he even passed through a bamboo forest. Looking at the increasingly old and smokeless buildings around him, he wondered: "I want to see Seeing Jimo Chen, are you leading me to find him?"

"Yes, his other courtyard is just ahead." Ye Li raised his finger and pointed to the opposite bank of a green lake, "You can see it when you walk over."

Looking at the dilapidated small house gradually coming into his sight, Lu Mingyao commented sincerely: "...Jianxiu's life is really simple."

But Ye Li sneered, a little mocking and disdainful.

"Perhaps the Palace Master should say that he is used to such a simple life, so he can stand the test of becoming a sword cultivator." Ye Li said.

At first, Lu Mingyao didn't understand what Ye Li really wanted to express, until they came to the small wooden courtyard where Jimochen lived, and before they entered the courtyard, they heard a thick and strong voice of anger from inside. .

"Why are you always so impulsive in doing things? You don't cherish your own life. Don't forget that hundreds of people in our Jimo family are still counting on you to live! Or are you starting to swell when you become an elder of the fairy palace at a young age? Gradually don't take your father, mother, and this Jimo family seriously?"

In the front yard outside the house, Jimochen knelt on the rough sandy ground with a calm expression, and was being loudly reprimanded by a middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes in front of him.

He lowered his head, with an attitude of humility that Lu Mingyao had never seen in the Immortal Palace: "I dare not, my heart has always focused on the affairs of the Jimo family."

The man sneered and said: "Really? I asked you to kneel in the lobby for a day and a night yesterday, but I asked the servants at home this morning, saying that you left while I was asleep at night! I see, your father is getting old, so do you!" The qualifications are not as good as yours, and you can't listen to what you say."

Before Jimo Chen could reply, Ye Li took out a whip that he did not know where to get and strode towards the man: "I forced him to come back."

"What? Your child is already that old, and he is also an elder who is highly valued by the Palace Master of the Asgard Palace. How come you have to suffer such childish punishment when you return to your own home?"

Jimo Chen's father seemed to be a little jealous of Ye Li, especially when he saw him coming over with a whip, his face turned blue instantly, and he backed away in anger and fear: "It's unreasonable, why do you, a monster who doesn't know where you came from, let me teach my son?" ?!"

Ye Li smiled coldly, flicked his whip, and approached him: "Ah, just because he is under my control now. You are a patriarch who can't even take care of his family and can only rely on his son's protection. Get angry at him?"

The force of the whip's twitching scared the man who couldn't beat Ye Li back again and again, and finally Jimochen reached out and grabbed Ye Li's slender wrist, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, he is my father, he scolded me for not doing well. It should be."

Ye Li rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Usually, don't you look pretty capable? Instructing your subordinates to keep their word, how come you behave like a quail when you get home?"

Jimo Chen's father felt that he was ashamed of being scared by Ye Li, but he didn't dare to really fight Ye Li, so he could only vent his anger on Jimo Chen again: "It was hard for me to find you a good match, but behind the scenes You don’t want a fiancée who is protected by a great sect, but now you bring back a dubious man, I’m really disappointed!”

He shook his head and sighed at Jimo Chen, then hurriedly prepared to leave, but bumped into Lu Mingyao standing at the entrance of the yard.With his identity, he was not qualified to attend palace banquets, and Lu Mingyao liked to disguise himself as an ordinary monk when traveling, so he didn't recognize him: "This young master is...?"

Jimochen was startled when he saw Lu Mingyao, and was about to answer for him, but the latter said before him: "Hi uncle, I am a friend of Jimochen, I happened to pass by here and heard that he was recuperating at home, so I stopped by." visit."

Thinking of his embarrassing state of being frightened by Ye Li in front of outsiders just now, the middle-aged man was a little ashamed. Seeing that Lu Mingyao didn't look like a capable and high-spirited man, he said angrily: "Make friends with useless pigs dog friend."

Lu Mingyao raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was the first time he was described like this.But he didn't argue with the man immediately, he turned sideways and let him leave the small courtyard.

After Jimochen's father left, the yard fell into a moment of silence.Jimo Chen and Lu Mingyao had different thoughts, Ye Li put away the whip used to bluff people, stepped forward and pulled Jimo Chen up, frowning in distaste: "What about your usual bossy and arrogant look?"

Jimo Chen replied: "He is my father, there must be his reasons for scolding me, I can't disobey him."

"What reason can there be? I think he just took out his anger on you, you are stupid and filial."

Jimo Chen didn't say anything more, but asked Lu Mingyao: "Master, why are you here?" After saying that, he was about to kneel down to him.

Lu Mingyao raised his hand and dismissed his gift: "Come and see you."

Jimo Chen was a little flattered, and even subconsciously checked whether Feng Nie was nearby to avoid unnecessary quarrels.

Lu Mingyao laughed: "Little Phoenix is ​​not here, I mainly have other things I want to confirm with you. I hope you can tell me honestly about some things."

"Palace Master, please tell me." Jimo Chen's complexion was not as bad as he thought, perhaps because of his self-cultivation during this period, he had recovered a little from his injuries.

Seeing that he was fine, he reconfirmed to Jimo Chen whether he had ever dated a girl from the Feng family.

Jimochen frowned and denied: "No, I dare to swear on my life that I will not lie to the Palace Master. But I don't know the girl you mentioned named Feng Qingxue. I did hear about the girl who was named Feng Qingxue when I entered the Immortal Palace. Because Phoenix could not accept being trapped in the Immortal Palace, he chose to kill himself, even so, I never met that Feng Clan face to face."

"When I entered Asgard, she was already dead."

"So, are you also very sure that you don't have a twin brother, or do you have an elder brother or younger brother who looks very similar to you?" Lu Mingyao asked.

Jimochen replied: "No, I don't look very similar to other brothers and sisters, everyone can recognize them. The only ones in my family are my twin sisters." There was another gloomy feeling.

Lu Mingyao pondered for a moment, and had to ask another question: "Then you have been in the Immortal Palace for many years, and you know the former palace owner Xie Yu'an well? What is the situation in his family? Do you have any children?"

Jimo Chen is relatively clear about the matter of the fairy palace: "The former palace owner should have had a daughter before he became the palace owner. Because it was a child conceived by him and his wife with many methods and resources. , if you can be born successfully, you will be able to have the body of a half-celestial being, and you will be able to rise to the top, saving many monks from the hardships they have to go through in the early stage."

"However, this child was born under human influence, and it was an act against the heavens. It is said that on the day the child was going to be born, heavenly thunders would be sent down to give them an assessment." It's a pity that even though they had prepared all the magic weapons they could, and Greatly improved Xie Yuan's wife's physique, but in the end she still failed to overcome the catastrophe.

It is said that Xie Yu'an invested too much energy and affection in their mother and daughter. After this incident, he immediately saw through the world and had no intention of starting a new relationship.After becoming the Palace Master, he devoted all his thoughts to the internal and external affairs of the Immortal Palace, and did not remarry.

Lu Mingyao thought, maybe the surname Xie was just a coincidence.The fairyland is so big that Xie Yu'an is definitely not the only Xie family, maybe he shouldn't be here.

"Every time you come back, is this the place where you live?" After mentioning the business, Lu Mingyao began to care about Jimochen's situation.

Before Jimo Chen could reply, Ye Li hurriedly replied, "More than that? You must have grown up in this wretched place since you were young."

The Jimo family used to be a big family. Although they made a mistake and their house was ransacked, Xie Yu'an still kept their original house with a good conscience.It occupies a vast area, which is the aura that ordinary people can have. The main house I saw when I came in just now was built with excellent natural materials and earth treasures. Even the nine sons of the dragon on the eaves have been meticulously Carved and portrayed, extremely delicate.

All that was left to Jimo Chen was a small broken house, which was really too much.

Jimo Chen said: "Don't get me wrong, I used to live in the main house like other people in my family when I was young. I always made mistakes and angered my parents. In addition, I was devoted to the Tao and didn't like those luxuries. It was voluntary. live here."

Ye Li murmured: "Even pouring tea, the amount of tea in the cup is controlled to the exact point. How much mistake can a person who is so strict and follow the rules make?"

Lu Mingyao looked at the two people who always sang different tunes, and suddenly chuckled: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for a while, and the relationship between the two of you seems to be getting closer."

Jimo Chen was hesitant to speak, but Ye Li snorted coquettishly and disgusted: "No, I have nothing to say to this kind of elm bump. I'm afraid it's stricter than the teacher and father in the sect. You don’t want to stay with me in Chunri Tower and force me to stay by your side, and you don’t want me to make money as a charmer.”

As he said that, he cast a disdainful glance at Jimo Chen beside him, and said, "He is willing to make up for my resources and money during this time, but my principle is not to take other people's things for nothing. With my stature, even Da Zong The high-ranking immortals inside the door are scrambling to ask for it, but this wood is good, I sent it to him for nothing and refused."

"It's an insult to me."

Jimo Chen was a well-behaved person, he couldn't hear or say Ye Li's unrestrained and rambunctious words, his face changed, but Ye Li, who couldn't speak so well, could only sulk silently with a cold face.

Lu Mingyao smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, do you have a good relationship with Qiu Tianmin?"

The one who asked was naturally Jimo Chen.

Jimochen paused when he heard the words, and he also had complicated emotions when he mentioned this person: "I have worked with him in the fairy palace for many years, and we have some friendship. Qiu Tianmin is gentle and kind-hearted, and he is very kind to everyone in the fairy palace. I He is not good at communication, and there are many people who have a better relationship with him."

"I'm also quite surprised that he suddenly took the risk to show up this time."

Ye Li silently added from the side: "Then after you thanked him for his rescue, you still follow the rules and take him back to the Immortal Palace with your own hands."

Jimo Chen: "...I work for the Palace Master, and the Palace Master's order takes precedence."

It seems that for the time being, it seems that Jimo Chen can't get too many clues.

Lu Mingyao thought of Feng Nie who was sent by him to deal with another matter, and hoped that he could bring him good news.

He saw that Jimo Chen didn't seem to be doing well at home, and he seemed to have almost cultivated himself, so he asked him to make some preparations and bring Ye Li back to the Immortal Palace with him the next day.Knowing that he was going to stay overnight in the mansion, Mochen immediately wanted to go directly to the main mansion to explain his identity as the palace master to everyone so as not to neglect him, but he refused.

Lu Mingyao has enjoyed luxury and hardship, so living in a small dilapidated house is not difficult for him.

Originally, I thought that this trip to Jimo's house was the only gain, but I didn't expect that on that night, things suddenly took a turn for the better.

But during the night, Lu Mingyao didn't intend to sleep and rest, he ran to the nearby lake for a walk to see the scenery alone, and accidentally let him bump into Ye Li who sneaked out of Jimochen's small courtyard.

"It's getting late, where do you want to go?" Lu Mingyao walked around to him and asked.

Ye Li didn't panic when he was found out, he just said to him mysteriously: "I did something bad and wanted to see the result, so why don't you come with me to see the excitement?"

Lu Mingyao raised his eyebrows before Ye Li explained: "Isn't it that I don't like people from the Jimo family? You've seen it too. Jimochen has been back for so many days, and almost no one in the house has come to take care of him. I didn't No matter how he met his mother, even if his father came over, he would just scold him."

Ye Li touched his chin and sighed softly: "Who asked me to protect the calf? After all, he is also working for me to pay off my debts, so he can be regarded as my little brother with me. In this case, he is half of my own. I can’t see people around me being bullied for no reason.”

"Unfortunately, I accidentally discovered the little secret of Patriarch Jimo and his wife a while ago, so I wanted to play a joke on them."

"It's time for them to find out. Hey, do you want to watch the show? If you don't, don't bother me, lest I miss the great opportunity to watch the show." Ye Li said, his tone became a little impatient again.

Lu Mingyao thought to himself, is he such a person?

he is.

Without hesitating for too long, Lu Mingyao, who was curious about what Ye Li had done, followed.It's definitely not because of gossip and because he likes to watch the excitement, but because he is afraid that Ye Li will make things go too far, so he should supervise him.

Ye Li took him to the other courtyard of Jimo Patriarch and his wife.

With the state of the two of them, it is a breeze to hide in the dark without telling the family servants.

From their vantage point, they happened to be able to see the quarrel in the house through the open window.

Although Jimochen's mother is a little older, she still has a charming charm, but she has a bit of a strong temper: "Jimoxuan, are you deliberately trying to anger me? You have the courage to put this woman's portrait on the wall. In our bed!"

She was holding a scroll in her hand, on which a slim woman seemed to be drawn.

Jimo Xuan looked at the picture scroll in her hand and was slightly startled: "This, how is it possible, I have already collected it..."

"Take it? Where did you take it? Didn't you tell me that you lost it last time? So you're lying to me?!"

"Hey, Mei Niang, don't be angry, she is also my cousin, she is already dead, so let me keep a picture to think about!" Jimoxuan said helplessly.

"Yes, it's the cousin you've been thinking about until the end that you couldn't marry!" The woman began to cry as she spoke, "This Wei Caiying has been dead for so many years, why is her ghost still lingering, especially her son's eyes are just like hers? It's exactly the same, every time I see it, I get angry!"

"You said that she was able to get along well with the former palace lord before, but in the end she couldn't think about going astray and falling into the devil's way. I said that she looked abnormal when she brought the child here, and it didn't take long to hear about that bad luck. thing."

"She did something wrong and strayed into the Demonic Dao and was punished by the Immortal Palace. You are kind. Everyone has become a demon and her six relatives have denied her, and you have brought back her son who she did not know who she had. I am not afraid that this child was born with which Demon Race she gave birth to." , in the future, the devil will bite us back."

Lu Mingyao never expected that he would hear the name he heard from Qiu Tianmin not long ago at Jimo's house.

Jimo Xuan hugged him in his arms to comfort him: "Hey, Chen'er is very upright, with extremely heavy immortal bones, he won't easily fall into the way of demons."

"Besides, he is now our family's life-saving talisman. This child is not raised for nothing, right?"

The woman raised her hand to wipe away her tears, then pouted and said, "If Jimo Chen didn't have this usefulness, do you think I could tolerate him walking around under my nose all these years, and still call me mother?"

Ye Li and Lu Mingyao, who accidentally discovered a certain secret of the Jimo family, suddenly fell into a weird silence, and lost the intention of watching the excitement.

The thoughts in Lu Mingyao's mind suddenly became clear, and he finally understood why Qiu Tianmin would rather be arrested and punished in prison than take the risk of saving Jimo Chen, and even quarreled with his allies over it.

When Qiu Tianmin was interrogated in the prison that day, he had such absurd guesses about Jimo Chen's identity.It's just that when the matter was verified in front of him, the shock was still a bit big.

Wei Caiying turned out to be distantly related to Jimo Xuan, the patriarch of the Jimo family, and Jimo Xuan once liked her.Later, by some kind of coincidence, after she became mad... or before, she adopted her child.

Lu Mingyao was still thinking about it, when Ye Li beside him suddenly nudged him lightly with his elbow, and motioned in a certain direction with a solemn expression.He probably guessed something in his heart, followed his gaze, and as expected, he saw the figure of Jimo Chen.

He faced them sideways from a distance, his dark gray eyes stared at the two embracing figures in the room who were gradually ending their quarrel, obviously he also heard what they were talking about.There didn't seem to be much expression change on the cold face, and even the eyes were so calm that no emotion could be seen.

As the cold winter wind blew past, Lu Mingyao and Ye Li's bodies were simultaneously icy cold.

Snowing.

Lu Mingyao raised his eyes again to look at the figure standing alone on the stone road in the courtyard, and saw the cotton-like snow slowly adding a little bit of white to his black hair.

When the white dots fell on his eyelashes, the eyes that were as calm as water were finally startled, causing ripples to ripple inside.
