Tie Yi was the most shocked among them. Looking at the woman who turned her back to him and begged Xi Xiu, he was stunned, and said, "Doctor Shi, can Cheng Shihe be saved without coral fire..."

As soon as her figure froze, Shi Minghui immediately lowered her eyes and bit her lips tightly.

Although the coral fire has magical effects, its attributes are too blazing. If it is not repaired enough to dissolve it, it will burn the host's body to death.Three years ago, in order to save Ye Zhenge, the master endured the scorching energy on his own body, causing his flesh and blood to wither, his bones turned into foam, and merged with the white island... Such a tragic ending made her unacceptable, and she has followed Ye Zhenge to this day Only to regain the coral fire one day, and regain the "proof" that Master once existed in the world.

At the beginning when he left the boundless sea, Ye Zhenge said that he was going to find a person named Xi Xiu, but before he could inquire carefully, they heard about each other along the way.In an old case, the truth about the arrest of the descendant of Zisha Palm came to light. Xi Xiu, who was involved in it, was not only cleared of the suspicion, but also became a well-known knight in the world.

Ye Zhenge then turned his horse's head, stopped and walked, and finally settled in this remote mountain village.

Since then, one of them opened a bookstore and the other opened a medical clinic, and they had no contact with each other.

Until that day three months ago, Tie Yi brought Cheng Shihe to seek medical treatment...

Zhu Yin's poison can't be cured by the Weaving God Needle, but it doesn't matter whether Cheng Shihe can last until she retrieves the God Needle, even if she can, Shi Minghui doesn't plan to help.Unexpectedly, Ye Zhenge stepped into her door for the first time.

Why did Ye Zhenge intercede for Cheng Shihe?

The only person Shi Minghui could think of was Xi Xiu, who also lived in the Martial Arts League, and he was the only person whom Ye Zhenge had mentioned since he and Ye Zhenge met.

Ye Zhenge interceded for Cheng Shihe because of Xi Xiu's face.

And Ye Zhen Geken bowed his head to himself for Xi Xiu...

Surprised, an idea gradually sprouted in Shi Minghui's heart.When she tried to say that saving Cheng Shihe not only needed a magic needle, but also a coral fire, Ye Zhenge agreed.

This is an opportunity that fell from the sky!

Once Ye Zhenge died, afterward, she only had to put on a show to regain the Coral Fire, and no one present would notice anything strange.

However, no one is as good as God, Xi Xiu's intervention made her miss a good opportunity, and her success fell short.

For some reason... For a moment, Shi Minghui felt more relieved...

She thought that she was really not qualified to inherit the mantle of the master. The master used the magic needle to save people, but just now, she wanted to use it to kill people.

Taking out the hairpin, Xi Xiu presented it with both hands: "Please."

Snatching it into his arms, Shi Minghui said coldly: "You need to be very attentive when performing acupuncture, otherwise the slightest deviation will kill Cheng Shihe. If you don't want my mood to be affected, you two should leave the room immediately!"

Nodding to Tie Yi to signal him to stay, Xi Xiu and Ye Zhenge both backed out.

Standing outside the house, thinking about the situation inside the house, Xi Xiu naturally couldn't take care of the other party.And Ye Zhenge has always been interested, and only quietly accompanied one side.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden cry in the quiet night!

Xi Xiu's expression froze and she was about to step in.At this moment, the door opened from the inside, and Shi Minghui walked out with a tired face, waved to him, and went straight out of the courtyard to the east.

Knowing that she has a grudge, Xi Xiu didn't want to embarrass her, so she went into the house alone to see what happened.

Under the dim oil lamp, Tie Yi was crying on the bedside.The person lying on the bed opened his eyes slightly, and his face, which had been blue and white for many days, finally had a tinge of blood.The man raised his hand with great effort, halfway through the lift, he fell back weakly, moved his lips soundlessly, and when he closed his eyes, tears slid down the corners of his eyes and disappeared into his temples.

Looking at this scene, Xi Xiu's high hanging heart finally fell, and he retreated outside the house, closing the door behind him.

"You must be exhausted these days, why don't you go home and have a cup of tea?" Ye Zhenge invited at the right time.

Xi Xiu didn't make any excuses, and followed him to his residence.

Sitting face to face with Ye Zhenge at the table, Xi Xiu picked up the teacup and blew on it, taking a sip, an earthy smell instantly filled his mouth.Although he has long been used to the taste of tea, he has never tasted such...a unique tea.

"This is the water boiled by pumpkin vines. It has the effect of nourishing the lungs, replenishing qi, nourishing the middle and strengthening the body." Seeing the young man frowned imperceptibly, Ye Zhenge explained with a smile, "The mountains are closed, and the soil here is not suitable for tea trees. Growing up, the villagers only drink water or pumpkin and vine juice. At first I felt a little uncomfortable, but after a long time, I went to the village to do as the Romans do.”

"Ha," Xi Xiu shook his head and sighed, "You want to find a quiet place to live, no matter in the south or north, there are many small towns suitable for living, which are much better than this village in the deep mountains. Now even a cup of tea is enough. luxury."

"If you're really not used to drinking, I'll boil some water again." Ye Zhenge said and stood up.

"No need," Xi Xiu raised her head and drank it in one gulp, then poured another cup for herself, and waited until the other party sat down before saying, "The taste is not bad."

The corner of his mouth slightly curved, Ye Zhenge said: "When did you suspect that Minghui was lying? How did you come up with the idea of ​​using hairpins to test?"

"I can guess it, how can you not guess it?" Xi Xiu asked without answering.

"Don't you want to tell me?" Ye Zhenge also answered with a question.

Knowing that if it continues like this, the rare and relaxed atmosphere will be ruined again, she straightened her thoughts, and Xi Xiu opened her lips and said: "When I learned that Shi Minghui was the apprentice of Zhiming's father, and Zhiming's daughter sacrificed herself to save you, I had my doubts."

After a pause, she continued: "Shi Minghui's clothes are plain, and there is no bronze mirror in her boudoir. It can be seen that she is not a woman who pursues appearance beauty, but the hairpin she wears is extremely gorgeous. This hairpin must have a special meaning. She grew up Boundless Sea, after leaving the Boundless Sea, she lived in seclusion in the deep valley. Both places are otherworldly places, so the hairpin is most likely brought by her from the Boundless Sea. As for whether it is red coral, I can’t say for sure, I only know that it was picked up by her. Cherish it as if it were your life."

"If Ming Hui's words are true, it is indeed Coral Fire that is necessary to save Cheng Shihe, how do you plan to end it?"

"Even if it is Coral Fire, I will not change my original intention. I bet that Shi Minghui lied. If I lose the bet, Cheng Shihe will die because of me; Tie Yi will be accused, and the leader will deal with it. I will bear it all. What's more..." See Xiang Ye Zhenge, Xi Xiu chuckled, with a cold look in his eyes, "Aren't you also betting? Betting on whether I will stand up for you, whether I will test Shi Minghui on your behalf."

"That's true," as expected, but Ye Zhenge said, "First: I owe Shi Minghui. Second: I have no leverage to negotiate terms with her. Third: Shi Minghui hates me very much. If I come out for an interview, she will only Evil others; Cheng Shihe's life and death are in her control, I can't take this risk."

"But I don't understand. If you don't tell me the plan, how can you be sure that I will cooperate with you?"

"Although Cheng Shihe is a stranger to me, he is a brother of the same school to you. If you choose between friendship, you will definitely be in a dilemma." Repeating what he told Xi Xiu three days ago, Ye Zhenge said frankly Said, "I said you would be in a dilemma, but you didn't deny it, which shows that you are indeed contradictory, and your heart is not completely biased toward Cheng Shihe."

"So—" Xi Xiu swallowed the words.

It turned out that Ye Zhenge was sincere at that time, thinking about him and relieving his worries, but he just wanted to make the scene more realistic.

After a moment of silence, Xi Xiu said, "Are you not worried that I will let you die?"

Ye Zhenge smiled and shook his head: "Even if Minghui's intentions are suspicious, there is still a ten-thousandth possibility that she is telling the truth. If you don't stop her, then one life for another is the safest and safest thing to do." Safe way."

"Ants don't care about their lives, but you are worse than ants!" Looking at the opposite side through the oil lamp on the table, Xi Xiu's eyes seemed to be ignited because of this.

"You should have known what kind of person I am. I only care about the result." Ye Zhenge said slowly without getting angry, "You don't need to care about me, let alone forgive me. The reunion between you and me was an accident. After the restoration of the Chengshi River, the natural bridge will return to the bridge, and the road will return to the road, the two have nothing to do with each other."

After finishing speaking, he stared at the jasper waist buckle on Xi Xiu's waist and the thin shackles around his waist, and continued: "In just three years, you have become one of the top ten masters in the Law Enforcement Hall. , the position of hall master will also be in your pocket. When you are full-fledged, it will not be difficult to rebuild Kuishan on your own."

Xi Xiu clenched her fists, lowered her head and said lightly, "I can have a bright future, thanks to you."

Could it be that Ye Zhenge couldn't hear the meaning behind the words?But he didn't answer, turned to the bed and laid out the quilt, then walked back to him and said: "Let's stay tonight."

Xi Xiu looked up in surprise, blushing unconsciously.

Ye Zhenge was also stunned, and instantly felt the urge to scrape the tip of his nose, but he finally endured it: "I kept you because I guess you don't want to go back and disturb Tie Yi and Cheng Shihe at this time, I can't force you mean."

Suddenly, Xi Xiu felt her cheeks burning, stinging and hurting, she snorted angrily, walked to the bed, put on her clothes and lay down.

Ye Zhenge walked to the desk with the lamp in his hand, pulled out the wooden hairpin and lowered the wick, then flipped through the book, the ink marks seemed to float in front of his eyes, not a single word entered his mind... until the soft snoring sound came. After hearing it, he closed the book and came to the bedside, and pulled the quilt from the corner to cover Xi Xiu.

The night in the mountains is still cold...

After quietly looking at the young man for a while, Ye Zhenge returned to the desk and took out a folding fan from under a stack of books.

He hasn't opened this fan for three years, he knows it can't be opened, let alone opened...

He touched the fan again and stuffed it back under the book. He rested his forehead on his hand and gently closed his eyes.These days, he hardly slept much.

Half-dream and half-awake, Ye Zhenge woke up when he heard a rooster crowing, and the lights in the room were shining brightly, faintly falling in front of the bed through the gaps in the bookcases...

bed?

Ye Zhenge was completely awake, turned over and got out of bed, just took a step, and after a muffled "crash", he stumbled on the sole of his foot, his whole body leaned forward, and his forehead hit the corner of the bookcase impartially.He immediately groaned in pain, only to realize that not only his hands and feet were bound, but he had been tapped on more than a dozen acupoints on his body, including the Ya acupoint!

Straightening up with difficulty, dragging the chain, Ye Zhenge walked around the bookcase, looking angrily and puzzled at the person behind the lights.

Sitting in front of the desk, Xi Xiu swiped his pen without raising his head and said, "I left a letter for Tie Yi, you can leave now."

Ye Zhenge opened his lips silently.

"One of the most valuable experiences I have learned from you is..." Standing up, Xi Xiu walked towards him with a smile, "Everything needs to have a beginning and an end."
