When Gu Xuemian rushed back to Langwuzhou, the sky had not yet dawned.

He lowered his cloud head and let Xiao Si get into his sleeve - ever since he knew that Master was afraid of snakes, he tried not to let Xiao Si appear outside.It's interesting to tease Shizun once in a while, but Gu Xuemian still likes the way Shizun looks at her wholeheartedly.

From a distance, he saw Ran Qing carrying a pot of charcoal fire from the warehouse to Langyaju, probably to let him take it to the master's room.

Frowning slightly, Gu Xuemian hummed lightly.

There are too many people around Shizun, he doesn't like it, and he can't force Shizun to drive them all away.If you form a Taoist couple with the master, can you monopolize him in an open and honest manner?

Licking his lower lip, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face: This is a way... But with Master's rigid temperament, I don't know if he can agree.

The eastern sky slowly lit up, and a rose-colored halo climbed half of the sky.Going through the verandah and waterside pavilion before Ran Qing, Gu Xuemian went straight to Tang Jinyi's residence, humming an out-of-key tune.Master hasn't woken up yet?If he makes the lotus flower cake first, he can serve it immediately when he gets up.

Thinking of that scene, he moved a little faster.

At this time, there is an unusual smell floating through the nose.

Gu Xuemian was slightly taken aback, his five senses were much more sensitive than ordinary monks, and this smell was all too familiar to him—the smell of blood.The difference is that this bloody smell does not contain any fishy smell, instead it has the coldness of ice and snow...

He raised his eyes suddenly, and saw a man in gray standing at the door of Langya Residence.

It was the subordinate I sent to follow the master, standing upright on one side, with a stiff body.As soon as his complexion changed, Gu Xuemian stepped forward quickly, only to see that the man was clearly pale and dead!

With a "buzz" in her head, Gu Xuemian kicked open the door and rushed in.

The heartbeat is very slow, as if it has become as long as a century.He grabbed the flustered subordinate at the door, without even thinking about throwing him against the wall, he didn't know what to do.The glazed ornaments at the door, the wooden carved landscape screen, the soft chair that the master often sits... These most familiar things were left behind by him in a panic, and then he saw the master lying in the bed curtain.

The man was lying quietly in the brocade quilt, his long hair was loose, and his face was slightly turned to one side.He closed his eyes, as if Gu Xuemian had seen it countless times, as if he could wake up at any time, and called him with a smile: "Xuemian."

But until Gu Xuemian helped him up, Master still didn't wake up.

A dagger sank deep into the chest, and the blood at the wound froze, freezing the bright blade in place, as if becoming one with the master.He lay quietly in Gu Xuemian's arms. It was clearly summer, but his body was as cold as an ice sculpture, and he couldn't cover it with heat.

Gu Xuemian found it ridiculous.

The world played a huge joke on him. Not long ago, this person was still gently stroking his hair and defending him in front of everyone.

"Master... Master."

Trembling, he hugged him in his arms, desperately releasing his spiritual energy to warm up Master.But the bone-piercing cold was like a handful of icicles, piercing his flesh and gouging out his heart.

"Master, Xue Mian hurts so much... Take a look at Xue Mian..."

Behind him was the sound of a huge heavy object falling to the ground, followed by the sound of Ran Qing falling back and falling.But Gu Xuemian couldn't hear these things, and everything was far away from him, only the cold master in his arms remained, who no longer smiled at him.

A suppressed roar sounded, and outside the window, the sun came out.

Tang Jinyi opened his eyes suddenly, his heartbeat was beating violently in his chest, making him unable to stop panting///breathing.

"Welcome back!"

Enthusiastic applause sounded around, and after a few "bang bang", the ribbons fell down one after another.There is a circle of colleagues around the dormant cabin, and someone is holding a cake in his hand, and everyone's face is filled with joyful smiles.

"Brother, you are so awesome!" Someone came to help him sit up: "We all thought that this task would definitely fail, but we didn't expect you to complete it!"

Tang Jinyi's vision was blurred, and his temples were throbbing.It took him a while to recognize this person: "...107?"

"It's me. You don't recognize me, do you?" 107 is a chatterbox, babbling, "Although I'm not handsome compared to you, I used to give you homemade cakes every day! Isn't that enough for you? Remember my number? It's too much!"

Tang Jinyi felt his head hurt even more.

Fortunately, a careful female colleague saved him: "He just finished a difficult task, let him rest quietly."

Everyone put down the cake, and after a few words of concern for Tang Jinyi, they all went back to work.There was even a long banner hanging on the door, with a big "Welcome Hero Employee 091 to go home smoothly".

Tang Jinyi: "..."

He sat in the dormant cabin for a while before he recovered.The cold air that seemed to strangle the whole body disappeared, and his limbs were well grown on his body, surrounded by the warm air that pierced through the book branch.

After posting in a daze for a while, Tang Jinyi called up his mission record, and saw that the last one was marked with a bright red check mark, saying "Completed".

A few minutes later, he came to the director's office and asked straight to the point:

"Director, can I go back to the last mission, Small World?"

There have been various rumors about Tianqingzong recently.

One is that there was a violent shock in the suzerain's mansion, as if the defensive formation was broken through; the other is that the rumored mysterious Xuanyi Immortal Venerable suddenly fell; , and forcibly took away the corpse of Xianzun.

The timing of these events is so close that many people are speculating whether they are related.Rumors spread everywhere for a while, but they were quickly suppressed by the suzerain.

But there are still insiders discussing privately:

On the day when Gu Xuemian took Xuanyi Xianzun's body away, Xianzun's junior sister, Fairy Lanyu, stood at the gate of Langwu Island and pointed at him and cursed:

"Gu Xuemian, what face do you have to take senior brother away!"

But the latter ignored him, and disappeared without a trace with Xuanyi Xianzun's body. It is said that no one has seen him again.

The world goes by, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle.

The demonic energy erupting everywhere was suppressed, and the monsters were also wiped out.It was found in the Ziyun Building that the landlord had been dropped, and the real landlord had been killed and hidden in a secret room.The person who wanted to snatch the fragments of the ancient formation disk was a fake monster turned into a monster. He was suppressed by the powerful and imprisoned in the Fumo Tower.

On this day, Ding Mengyu hurried into the room and said to Qin Mian, "That monster has escaped."

She held a note in her hand, apparently the source of the news.But when such a big event happened, Ding Mengyu was not anxious, but had a complicated expression on his face.

Qin Mian and her have long been a congenial couple, seeing her acting like this, he immediately guessed something: "Do you think that person stole it?"

Ding Mengyu nodded.

"If it is that person, it will definitely not end well." She sighed wearily: "If I don't have to ask something from that monster, even if the suzerain stops me, I will smash the monster that killed thousands of knives." Ten thousand pieces of corpses."

In the end, there was hatred in his tone.

Qin Mian understood and hugged her comfortingly.

"If that day hadn't happened, senior brother... senior brother..." Ding Mengyu couldn't stop crying, and silently buried her face on Qin Mian's shoulder.Every time she dreamed back at midnight, she would stand in that familiar bedroom and look at the pale body of her senior brother.

Senior brother likes to be clean, and also likes to wear plain clothes.That day, his white clothes were stained with blood, which hurt Ding Mengyu's eyes.

"Qin Mian, I don't know who to hate." She said softly: "The person who assassinated the senior brother is already dead, and that day... everything happened too coincidentally. The senior brother suffered from cold poison and was powerless to resist, and Ran Qing just went out to get him things, but I foolishly ran to chase that monster, and didn’t stay by my brother’s side... If I was there at that time, I would have been able to..."

"It's not your fault." Qin Mian rubbed her hair.

After Xuanyi Immortal Venerable died, Langwuzhou remained as it was, and Ran Qing still ordered people to clean the yards and feed the koi in the pond every day, everything was the same as when that person was there.

Occasionally, when Zhou Xingzhi came back from going out, he would drink a cup of tea.

When he heard the news of his junior brother's death, the taciturn senior brother raised his sword at Gu Xuemian on the spot.It's just that Ran Qing said "This is the person my son is protecting with his life", which made him throw away his sword and shed tears in silence.

The suzerain erected a tomb for Tang Jinyi in the back mountain of Langwuzhou, but Ran Qing never went there.

After losing his composure that day, he turned back into that proper, thoughtful and orderly chief steward, keeping Langwu Island in good order.He is the son's servant, and he can never lose his manners and be seen as a joke.

"If you are willing, I will set you free and you no longer need to be a servant." Zhou Xingzhi said.

Ran Qing's aptitude is not bad, if he concentrates on cultivation, he may not be unable to achieve something.Tang Jinyi was willing to be a servant only because he was kind to him.

Hearing this, Ran Qing refused: "I swore to the previous suzerain that I will take care of you for the rest of my life."

The two stood under the eaves of the corridor, silent for a moment.

After a while, Zhou Xingzhi asked, "He still refuses to return the brocade clothes?"

Ran Qing paused, and his face changed a little: "He doesn't seem to believe that the young master is dead."

There was another silence.If possible, who wouldn't want Tang Jinyi to really be alive?

And far away in Beiman, in a huge palace buried deep underground.

The originally very powerful monster was nailed to the stone wall by twelve soul nails, and groaned in pain like a broken bellows.Blood was constantly oozing from its rotting wound, but even though it was dying, it was forced to stay awake and listen to the questioning of the person in front of it.

"You did it for that devil bone back then?"

The black-robed youth stood in front of it, obviously looking up, but because of the predation in his expression, the monster wanted to bury his head in the soil.

"Yes, yes... But it was really not my intention to kill Xuanyi Immortal Venerable... Ah!"

Halfway through the monster's speech, it was lashed down by a long whip burning with black fire. The flame was like hell fire, and the wound formed could not heal itself.

Gu Xuemian stared at it firmly: "You are not qualified to promote Master."

This interrogation was more like a retaliatory lynching. By the time Gu Xuemian left the dungeon, the monster could no longer see its original appearance.

"Give it medicine." When leaving, Gu Xuemian ordered her subordinates.

The master forbade him to kill, so he never took anyone's life with his own hands—he would only make the monster's life worse than death.

After going through layers of palace gates, Gu Xuemian came to the most secret room.

A crystal coffin was placed there, and a man with snow-white long hair lay inside.He closed his eyes securely, except for being too pale, he looked like he was in a dream.

"Master, Xue Mian has come to see you."

The tone became brisk, Gu Xuemian supported the coffin face, and gently pressed her cheek against it.A jade stone slid out from his neck, tied with a thin chain, the surface was smooth and shiny.

"Wait a little longer...it will be soon," he murmured, "No matter where Master goes, Xue Mian will find you."
