My Taoist companion just wants to welcome and refuse

In the middle of the night, the lights of Jinlian Evernight City were kept on, and the cups of wine were not rested.

In a corner of a remote alley away from the busy city, Xia Qi and Qing Yan passed through the darkness silently, and met Su Ling who had already been waiting there.

Qingyan had already destroyed all the teleportation arrays that could leave the black market, so Cang Li's disciples were ordered to sneak into various parts of Jinlian City, looking for related changes, and to find out the specific location of the black market.

Xia Qi didn't see the sky in the black market, but saw many illuminated inscriptions, presumably the black market is located underground.

Since Xu Shen established the black market a hundred years ago, he will definitely choose a location closely related to Shifang Pavilion.

According to Su Ling, after Xu Shen's death, the residence of Shifang Pavilion became weird and mysterious. Most of the people who coveted the treasure and sneaked in died unexpectedly, and those who were lucky enough to come back also brought back contagious demon seeds.

They have just arrived and have not yet explored the regular entry route. In case there are too many variables, there should be another route for them to choose, and the Lingling Society is the breakthrough to create this choice.

Xia Qi looked Su Ling around, and he was relieved when he saw that Quanxu and Quanwei were not injured.

Su Ling looked at the two with complicated expressions, and sighed: "All the living demon cultivators in the Spiritual Appreciation Society have been rescued and placed in the house prepared for you, a total of 21 of them, including those who were stripped of the demon core The child of..."

Speaking of this, she frowned deeply, obviously disapproving of their direct actions, "Now the Jianling Society has been destroyed, Jinlian City has begun to be chaotic, and the disturbed forces have started to search everywhere. Attracting the pursuers...you are too aggressive."

Xia Qi took a careful look at Su Ling in the dark, he looked a bit sad, like seeing him mischievous and getting into trouble when he was a child, other than that, he couldn't see anything else.

It made him feel familiar for a moment, and vaguely strange at the same time.

Su Ling's concerns were not wrong, but it was different from his style of doing things, even though he felt that Su Ling was a little too cautious.

For the past five years, Su Ling has been lurking alone, and used many identities to infiltrate various forces. It must be like walking on thin ice, and it has become a habit to be cautious.

However, now that the three sects are gathered in Nanfeng, if they are not afraid that the people behind the scenes will make changes, they need to proceed step by step, and it is not impossible to directly wipe out Jin Liancheng, so why would they be afraid...

Xia Qi didn't regret his choice, and replied calmly, "I'll kill all the snakes soon, and it doesn't matter if I burn the grass."

Su Ling glanced at him and wanted to say something, but he didn't speak after all, and looked away.

Since Xia Qi reunited with Su Ling, he has been concerned that the other party has not communicated with him frankly, and now this evasive look pierced his heart again.

He thought about it...according to Su Ling's character, he is not a person who is indecisive or even procrastinating.

She didn't want to fall out with Jin Liancheng's forces so quickly, was she really just afraid of trouble?

Xia Qi looked at Su Ling motionlessly: "Auntie, why did you come to Nanfeng five years ago?"

As soon as these words came out, even Qing Yan glanced at him unexpectedly, maybe he didn't expect him to choose this moment to ask directly.

Su Ling was also taken aback, glanced at him quickly, and then avoided his gaze.

She didn't want to perfunctory the other party with the nonsense that she usually came at her fingertips, so she could only squeeze out a sentence embarrassingly and palely: "...It's none of your business."

As soon as the words fell, she realized what she had said, raised her head in panic, and saw the hurt and astonishment in Xia Qi's eyes, and hurriedly added, "No, Xiao Qi, this is my private matter and it's none of anyone's business. thing……"

Xia Qi's heart was heavy. He was worried that Su Ling didn't take the time they spent together seriously, but now he seems to have come to a conclusion...

He took a deep breath to make himself look indifferent and heartless, not like he was thinking about his childhood feelings: "...As a disciple of Changyao, you must despise being with these people, but now you don't want them to be destroyed. Then it can be inferred that what you came to Nanfeng to do would not work without them, right?"

Su Ling's expression changed instantly, hurt anger appeared on his face, and his voice trembled: "Xia Qi! I'm in your heart... what do you think of me? Even if I leave Chang Yao, I'm still the same He is a monk, he is the apprentice of Patriarch Chang Yao..."

Xia Qi gritted his teeth silently, holding back a stubbornness, sad and angry at the same time.

Qing Yan suddenly took his hand, walked between the two, turned his back to him, and blocked Su Ling's compelling sight.

He was shrouded in the shadow of the banquet, and only heard the other party ease the atmosphere: "Although the sects have their own principles and positions, the purpose of unanimity is the same. It is not easy to promote the alliance of sects. Do not easily quarrel and doubt allies .”

Qing Yan's voice was solemn and gentle, without any hint of accusation, and silenced the emotionally charged two.

At this moment, someone approached quickly in the darkness, but stopped a few steps away.

The person who came was Ming Wei, he bowed respectfully to Qing Yan, and only walked over after receiving Qing Yan's nod of approval.

Ming Wei reported concisely: "Uncle, the arrangements have been made, and they can start immediately. But their injuries are not serious, and they cannot stay on the border of Nanfeng for a long time or on the way of wandering, and the closest and most suitable place to stay...is Zhuzhou. "

Xia Qi froze for a moment, his attention was drawn to him, what is Cang Li doing...

Qing Yan then looked at him: "The people rescued tonight should not stay in Nanfeng for a long time. After Cang Li entered Jinlian City, he secretly opened a secret passage from Jinlian City to Nanfeng, leaving it as a back road. Tonight We can send them out of Nanfeng. If you save Yaoxiu in the future, you can also leave through this passage."

Xia Qi was shocked, Cang Chen's movements were too fast, and within the time of the meeting, he prepared his way out... The preparations for the Qing banquet were too thoughtful.

Even if there is no need to retreat, the injured demon cultivator can be sent away from Nanfeng.It would be great if we could get news about Gu Ying.

He understood Mingwei's needs, and immediately replied: "You can go to Xiaoshan, and I will send a team of disciples to take care of it. The wound medicine that Cangli Changyao brought to help has not been used up..." He thought for a while, "Well, I asked the demon hunters on the border of Nanfeng to intercept the demon cultivators who were brought into Nanfeng, and sent them to Xiaoshan together."

They won't stay in the same place all the time, and the demon cultivators who gather together will keep attracting pursuers. Although it is not difficult to deal with, it will require a part of the manpower.

Now, taking advantage of the investigation, I sent the demon cultivator away by the way, and Xiaoshan has doctors and Changyao doctors, which is the unexpected best solution.

Ming Wei left after receiving instructions.

Su Ling watched the whole process silently, seemed to understand the plan of Qingyan, and also saw that the other party had solved all the worries in the future, so he didn't say any more.

She said to Qingyan wearily: "I'll go help and send people out of Jinlian City together."

After saying that, he left.

Xia Qi quietly watched that figure slowly melt into the night, without looking at him again.

Qing Yan gently scratched his palm, and he couldn't help but look up at him.

Qing Yan held him tightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, Sect Master Wen probably knows what Su Ling is doing, she didn't stop her, but she knew Su Ling could handle it."

Xia Qi knew the meaning of Qingyan. Judging from Shen Xinghai's test of Wen Yuxie by Zhuxi in Shen Xinghai, Wen Yuxie had a leader's view of justice and good and evil. Wen Yuxie will not sit idly by.

He took a breath, shook his head slowly, and said softly: "Bai Lan, I know that my aunt is not that kind of person. I was afraid that she would risk her life for something. Even... Even if I have no blood relationship with her, I can't compare with my apprentice ..."

Qing Yan saw the awkwardness and depression of his Taoist couple, so he couldn't help but bent his lips and smiled, and straightened his messy temple hair: "Aqi, when there are differences of opinion, it is taboo to guess the other party's mind. I heard you talk about Su Ling and your I can see that she didn't lie about her concern for you." He paused, and seeing Xia Qi looking up at him, he stared into those eyes, "The reason why people can hide in danger for five years may be a knot in their hearts. The reason is that it is difficult to resolve the knot in the heart, so try to give her some time?"

Xia Qi was a little taken aback by Qing Yan's quiet and smiling gaze.

What Qing Yan said was right, he was always concerned but chaotic, he wanted to know the truth, and almost always wanted to be persecuted.

If this was Su Ling's knot in his heart, he would have directly pissed off the opponent's wound...he should be more patient.

Seeing his silence, Qing Yan seemed to know what he was thinking, and took him into his arms: "A Qi is worried about his family, and there is nothing wrong with that."

His Taoist companion was patient and insightful, Xia Qi's anger and sadness disappeared, he patted his head at a loss, and looked at Qing Yan with some embarrassment: "Well... I know, I won't think too much about it."

Seeing him relieved, Qing Yan said with a smile: "Then let's go shopping around and go back. If we're hungry, we'll see what A Qi likes to eat in Jin Liancheng."

Xia Qi was so coaxed by the other party that his heart melted, and finally he relaxed and laughed.

The two left hand in hand and walked towards the main street.

The closer you get to the main street, the more you can feel the liveliness of Jinlian City late at night.All kinds of people walking in the night passed them one by one.

Xia Qi glanced at the profile of his Taoist couple, and felt joyful: "Bai Lan, we have never walked together in the market like this before."

Even the grotesque scene of this downtown is not really romantic.

Qing Yan also bent her lips, the smile in her eyes hadn't fully surfaced, but she froze suddenly and stopped in her footsteps.Xia Qi then turned his head to look forward.

I saw an evil cultivator walking towards them, walking staggeringly, with a pungent smell of wine, as strong as if he had just scooped it from the wine jar.

In every prefecture and prefecture in Yunzhang that is sheltered by famous families and decent sects, evil cultivators are wanted and killed by monks, and they only dare to hide in places that cannot be seen.

But Jin Liancheng is a feast for evil cultivators. On the streets, evil cultivators and violations of discipline can be seen everywhere.

As long as it is not as cruel as the Lingling Society, the three sneaked sects will not rush to deal with it-after the source is cleared, it will only be a matter of convenience to eliminate the evil cultivators.

The two of them kept turning a blind eye to the evil cultivators on the street.

But at this moment, Qing Yan's eyes fell on the oncoming Xie Xiu, because the other's eyes, full of desire and greed, were staring at Xia Qi without blinking.

Qing Yan's concealment technique has not yet been lifted, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is just an ordinary monk.And when Xia Qi took off his hood during the rush and was held by Qing Yan's side, his brows and eyes lost a little bit of sharpness, and his cute and soft smile really made people itch.

Xia Qi frowned, Xiexiu's naked eyes made him feel as if a poisonous snake had walked past him, sticky and disgusting, with a layer of goosebumps.

His eyes turned cold, and he put his hand on the gleaming sword hilt.

The more Xixiu looked at it, the more he liked it. He licked his lips and approached, and discussed with the seemingly mediocre Qingyan: "Give me the little beauty, and I can buy him for one night. I can afford as many spirit stones... ..."

The edge of the shining sword was only pushed out an inch, Xia Qi smelled the smell of blood in an instant, and was taken aback for a moment.

Xie Xiu fell to the ground with a bang, with his own waist dagger stuck in his throat, he didn't die immediately, his eyes widened in fright, the blood in his throat kept gushing out, and he choked the air pipe again, his chest kept rumbling, it was extremely uncomfortable - Zai Chuan didn't even get out of the scabbard, he didn't deserve to be defiled.

Xia Qi glanced expressionlessly at the dying man on the ground, even if Qing Yan didn't make a move, he wouldn't show mercy.

He just felt a little disappointed and didn't want to look any further, so he wanted to leave with Qing Yan.

He raised his head to talk to Qing Yan, but suddenly stopped after seeing the other party's expression.

Qing Yan looked down at the evil cultivator from above, Xia Qi couldn't see the expression in his eyes clearly, but somehow felt that the other side's profile was icy cold and sharp, like an unsheathed sharp sword, carrying a breath-taking sword. A suffocating killing intent.

Xia Qi frowned slowly, the Qingyan swordsmanship had reached the stage of perfection, and there was no longer any killing intent in his killing moves. At this moment, he only dealt with a drunken evil cultivator, so how could he be easily forced out of terrifying killing intent...

He didn't know why, and saw Qing Yan lift his foot, stepping on the heaving chest of dying.

Xiexiu's eyes were about to pop out of his sockets, his face was twisted, his neck was raised in pain but he couldn't make a sound, the wound in his throat trembled ferociously, and blood snaked to the ground in an instant.

And the toes still didn't feel enough, so they slowly moved upwards, covering Xie Xiu's neck and head, like an announcement of imminent death...

Xia Qi finally realized something was wrong, and hurriedly hugged Qing Yan's arm: "Bai Lan, don't get your boots dirty..."

Qing Yan paused, his shockingly sharp and cold eyes slightly loosened, and looked sideways at him closely, with a hint of aggression in his eyes.

After a few breaths, the deep voice carried a little displeasure of being tampered with.

"Just now, his eyes are looking at you."

Xia Qi's heart sank slowly, his words choked in his throat.Suddenly, he heard the sound of a broken spine, which was very clear in the quiet and dark alley.

Qing Yan's side face was spattered with a little hot blood, and a faint sense of uncontrollable danger appeared in the depths of his pupils.

The sound of struggling at the two people's feet stopped, leaving only the dead silence and the smell of blood in the alley.

Xia Qi breathed lightly, and stared at the person in front of him for a long time in the half-darkness.He finally realized that Qing Yan's mood swings recently... It wasn't his illusion.

Since going to Nanfeng, even though Qingyan has been planning everything calmly and accurately, and caring for him in every aspect, he even managed to destroy the Lingling Society with ease...

But Qing Yan's mind has long been faintly out of order.

It wasn't until now that he was coveted that he seemed to have touched the bottom line of the other party's inviolability, showing signs of being on the verge of losing control.
