My Taoist companion just wants to welcome and refuse

Xia Qi clasped his arms behind his back, and the five of them walked to the stone table and sat down.

Just when he was about to say something, a ball of something fell from the sky, carrying a familiar and alluring fragrance, and fell into his arms. He hurriedly reached out to catch the roast chicken wrapped in lotus leaves.

The sneak attack was too fragrant, and he directly smashed away the cold and serious look he was holding, and he could only say angrily: "Why don't you go to rest and wait here in the middle of the night to deliver the roast chicken?"

Su Ling saw that the person in front of him forgot his grudge, and said: "I haven't seen you come back with Sect Master Qing, and you haven't returned for a long time, I don't know what you've been up to...it must be your Xiaoshan's business. Anyway, I can't sleep, I Just wait and see."

Xia Qi didn't go to busy with any serious business, just went to have a full meal, and even went around the land of Fengyue, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

On the face, he put the awe and unpredictability in an even and stable manner, and gave an inexplicable "hmm".

Seeing that Su Ling was still worried about him, Xia Qi couldn't help but feel relieved of the previous quarrel.

But now he can't figure out how to get along with Su Ling. After five years, the fate of the two has been turned upside down. When they meet again, they can't talk freely like before. After all, through many suspicions and concealments, he doesn't even know what topics are Offensive and offensive.

There was another awkward silence between the two of them.

Su Ling cleared her throat, and said plainly, concisely: "Five years ago, I came to Nanfeng to find my son."

These words were straightforward and like thunder, Xia Qi reacted slowly, and then looked up in astonishment.

He really didn't expect Su Ling to confess so easily...and, what?Su Ling's son is still alive?

After he was adopted by Su Ling, Su Ling occasionally told some interesting stories about his own child, which even made him faintly jealous when he was still young.

But he had never seen this child, so he thought that the aunt's child was no longer alive, so he didn't ask any further questions to avoid her being sad.

I didn't expect the child to go elsewhere, still in the chaotic and sensitive place of Nanfeng.

Xia Qi took a closer look at Su Ling's face, saw that she was chatting normally, and then said softly: "Did my aunt's son get lost in Nanfeng, before she adopted me?"

Su Ling nodded, long memories appeared on his face, and after a while, he said: "If a monk asks with all his heart, even if he has a Taoist partner, he will not have a child. The birth of a child will take away part of the mother's cultivation, but will get a pure spirit. root."

Her eyes dimmed, and she took out a jade pendant and rubbed it carefully. There were fine runes winding on the jade pendant, "My child is very special. Not only does he not have a spiritual root, but he is also weak and sick. He contracted a serious illness shortly after birth. Over the years, he grew up Yao tried his best to prolong his life, but there was nothing he could do to relieve the pain. I resigned as the head of Chang Yao, took him to visit famous doctors in Yunzhang, and finally found the Valley of the Godly Doctor in Nanfeng. But the owner of the valley was helpless, and said he There is only one year left to live... He heard the diagnosis outside the door, and was so stimulated that he turned around and ran away. I have been looking for him in Nanfeng for three years, but I have never seen him again..."

When Su Ling said this, his voice was hoarse with sadness, and he was so tired that he seemed to be wandering in the long dark night for a long time, unable to find any light, and the heart of the listener was slowly pulled.

Xia Qi felt terrified every word, such an experience happened to any mother, it would be an unbearable pain.

The jade pendant in Su Ling's hand was familiar to him, and he used to see Su Ling hold it sadly... so it was because of this.

Su Ling continued: "When I resigned as the head of Changyao, it was at a time when the evil in Yunzhang was spreading and Lingzhou was suffering from it. But at such a juncture, I abandoned the sect and pushed Yu Xie to the cusp of the storm alone. I have no When Yan returned to Chang Yao, he felt ashamed of his master. After leaving Nanfeng, I went to live in seclusion in a small town. One time, I chased and killed evil cultivators following the devilish energy, and found you..."

Xia Qi listened with his eyes downcast, and remained silent for a long time.

There is nothing wrong with Su Ling, she is just not so generous to put the world first and choose her family.

He could only comfort in a soft voice: "Auntie, don't blame yourself so much, the head of Changyao can be re-elected, and your child has only one mother."

Generally speaking, for a sect that has been passed down for several generations, the master will let the chief disciple share part of the affairs of the sect, and even elect a substitute master when he is unable to do so, in case the master suddenly withdraws and causes chaos in the sect—such as Cang Li The Qing banquet gradually took over Cangcheng over a hundred years.

Wen Yuxie, as the first apprentice, has been trained as the next head, and Chang Yao's head change will not be too turbulent.

Su Ling stared at him in a daze, and suddenly laughed with a bit of bitterness that could not be erased. After a few breaths, her eyes flickered: "Five years ago, monsters suddenly invaded the village, and a group of evil cultivators took advantage of the chaos to amass wealth. Going to fight, one of the evil cultivators said that he had seen this jade pendant in Nanfeng not long ago... This jade pendant was designed and made by myself. Spare...there are only two pieces in this world. I used Chang Yao's power to search in Nanfeng, but there was no trace of clues. Five years ago, I concealed my identity and sneaked into Nanfeng, hoping to investigate from a different angle..."

The cause and effect of Su Ling's disappearance due to the destruction of the town is finally clear, but now it seems that there is still no result.

Xia Qi's mind is complicated. Su Ling, who lives in seclusion in a small town, is burdened with so many...

Su Ling restrained his emotions and stared at Xia Qi seriously, full of guilt and heartache: "Xiao Qi, I'm sorry for you... For five years, every time I think of how sad you will be, and I can't guarantee that I will be safe in Nanfeng, I didn't want to make you sad again, so I didn't dare to come to see you. Later I heard that you became Bian Qiuguang's personal apprentice, and I was happy that you had a good chance...but I didn't expect you to suffer so much. "

Xia Qi also felt a little uncomfortable.

Su Ling revealed this pain to him, and she was undoubtedly immersed in pain again.

He never felt that Su Ling was sorry for him, but he was worried that Su Ling would risk his life alone and hide it from everyone.Now that he is frank, he has nothing to worry about.

He sighed: "In the past five years, I have had good and bad, but it wasn't all suffering. Now that I have someone to spend my life with, and I know you are safe, I have no regrets." He paused silently, but the topic of conversation was Turning around, "I don't understand. Since the three sects are gathered in Nanfeng, there are a lot of people who can be dispatched. If you ask everyone to pay attention while investigating, wouldn't they find it faster?"

The sadness on Su Ling's face gradually faded, and finally showed a little helplessness: "I am no longer a person who talks about rumors, and now the evil trouble is the primary goal of solving it, don't be distracted by the affairs of an outsider."

Xia Qi lowered his eyes slowly when he heard the words, the gentleness revealed after untying his knot suddenly faded, his face was indifferent: "Auntie, I thought you wanted to have a frank talk with me."

Su Ling raised her head suddenly: "Xiao Qi..."

Reminiscing about the past with warm words about the old friendship didn't make Xia Qi less sensitive.Su Ling's words at this moment are contrary to his previous actions to prevent him from sweeping all forces.

The other party still has something to hide.His heart was cold, and he felt a little tired.

Xia Qi's gaze never avoided, his voice was as frosty as the dew of the night, and he was indifferent and cool: "It's meaningless to communicate between true and false. You should know that concealing mistakes will waste more time."

Su Ling stared blankly at the opposite person who frowned slightly, feeling a little dazed, and finally realized that the other person was no longer the easy-to-coax kid.

She was silent for a few moments, and sighed exhaustedly, as if she had been too tired of concealing it for years, and it was finally unsustainable: "Forget it, I really don't want you to wipe out all the forces in Jin Liancheng so quickly, it's still because of my selfishness...then... The child is stubborn and ambitious. If he is alive, he will not be willing to be an ordinary person. In Nanfeng these years, he must have done a lot of things that are not tolerated by the righteous way... I am afraid that if you find him, you will not let him go. "

"The matter of the devil cannot be delayed, we will not be hindered by anything, we need to find the person behind the scenes as soon as possible," Xia Qi seriously stated his position, seeing that Su Ling used all his strength, he sighed inwardly, and his tone was soft After that, "As for the others...he is your child, and he is your Changyao person. How to deal with it is Changyao's business. Xiaoshan and Cangxi will not intervene."

Qing Yan was right, this matter was indeed a heavy burden on Su Ling's heart for many years, the other party finally confessed that he also wanted to help Su Ling find his family.

As for how the child will be punished, that is Chang Yao's own school affairs.

Su Ling looked at him suddenly, his eyes glowed with excitement: "Xiao Qi..."

Xia Qi glanced at her angrily, exhausted from worrying, took out a lotus seed cake from the mustard seed and handed it to her: "Is there anything that we can't discuss properly? See if you can. After a busy day, God It's almost dawn, go back and rest."

Most of Su Ling's knots were untied, and she took it with a smile.She yawned and said unceremoniously: "Alright, I'm going to rest... When I wake up, I will discuss this matter with Yu Xie."

Xia Qi was still clear-headed, and asked the figure from behind in detail, "What's the name of your aunt's child?"

Su Ling looked extremely tired, and waved his hands without looking back.

"Su Qunyun."

Xia Qi stuffed the lotus leaf-wrapped chicken in his hand, it was still full, so he put it in the mustard seeds.

At the same time, Shadow Ring received a letter from a disciple of the Demon Hunter.

The demon hunters responsible for meeting the demon cultivators had already set off from Xiaoshan.

The Cangcheng team that escorted the demon cultivator also had a few demon hunters join in, so that the two sides could communicate with each other through the Shadow Ring and meet up as soon as possible.

The messenger was one of the disciples who reported the progress of the trip on time.

The team has safely left Jinlian City and is on its way to the border of Nanfeng.They intercepted a group of demon cultivators who were about to be brought into Jinlian City on the road, and wanted to send them to Xiaoshan together.But the demon cultivators have already heard that the statue of the Wan Yao King in Nanfeng has appeared, and they are extremely convinced and fanatical about the return of the Wan Yao King to the human world. They insist on entering Jinlian City and are unwilling to go to other places.

Xia Qi frowned upon hearing this.

The appearance of the Ten Thousand Demon King is obviously nonsense. What kind of ghosts and ghosts are pretending to give the demon cultivators the motivation to go forward and take the initiative to step into danger, and instigate the evil cultivators to go hunting for treasures and turn them into the soil of demon seeds?

Looking at it this way, it must be inseparable from the people behind the scenes.

He thought for a moment, replied to his disciples, and forcibly sent the demon cultivator who was in danger of life to Xiaoshan, and the rest were imprisoned at the border of Nanfeng and guarded.

After arranging many things, Xia Qi took a look at Qingyan's room.

After the two were no longer separated by thousands of miles, Qing Yan didn't hang his consciousness in the mustard seed, and wandered around with him. He must be together often now, and the other party respected his private time.

Recently, he can't rest in samadhi during the Qing banquet. He comforted him carefully tonight, and he seems to be able to samadhi normally. Otherwise, if he wakes up at this hour and doesn't see him, he will be looking for him.

If there is any further delay, it will be time for Qing Yan to practice swords.

In the twinkling of an eye, dawn is approaching.

Xia Qi stood in the courtyard, waiting for the sound of the door being pushed open.

Dressed neatly, Fu Wan came out with a knife in her hand, with an irritable expression on her face, "Xia Xiaoqi, you better have something important..."

But Xia Qi saw ten demon hunter disciples standing neatly in front of him, who were apparently picked up by the urgent call of the Shadow Ring.

Xia Qi turned to look at him, very energetic and radiant.

"Brother, come with me to explore the Shifang Pavilion."
