Yu Hongchen

The master of Chixia Cave paused for a moment, and secretly mobilized his strength in his sleeves.She stared at Xie Liuchen coldly, and only waited for him to open his mouth before making a move.

Xie Liuchen didn't notice it, and raised his hand: "Are you looking for this thing?" What he was holding in his hand was the Qiushuimen Loose Cultivation Roster.

He blinked at the guarded person in front of him: "So are you Chixia Cave Master or Cui Mingruo?"

Cave Master Chixia stared at him vigilantly, and snatched the things away.She never took her eyes off Xie Liuchen, she casually flipped through the roster in front of her eyes, and interrogated without emotion: "Why are things here with you?"

Even if Xie Liuchen's identity was accidentally exposed, she acted very calmly, from the beginning to the end, she didn't even show an expression of astonishment or fright.

Seeing her asking about the origin of the roster, Xie Liuchen became more certain of his guess, took a step forward, and said excitedly, "Are you really Cui Mingruo?"

Cave Master Chixia just stared at him expressionlessly without saying a word.

Xie Liuchen knew that if he didn't answer her question first, this person would ignore him, so he could only explain: "I snatched it from that Ban Chi of the Demon Race. Besides him, there is another gray-faced Palace Master who has seen the roster. So don't worry, no one else has discovered your identity yet."

Seeing that she just looked at him without speaking or reacting, Xie Liuchen became a little anxious: "Do you not believe me?"

Cave Master Chixia said indifferently: "Even the so-called sworn brothers can fight against each other, why should I trust you, a stranger?"

Xie Liuchen heard this "worshiping brothers", thought she was talking about Feng Guiyun who betrayed his nine sons back then, thought hard for a while, and said: "Why do you think I am willing to come in? Isn't it to find Cui Mingruo and tell her What about being identified by the demons? I killed the half-chi outside the Fumenglou, and it was enough to escape death. Why did I go into the Fumenglou and ask for trouble? I dare to be meddling, okay? ?” After finishing speaking, with a swollen face, she turned around and wanted to leave.

Before he could take a step, he heard Chixia Cave Master's clear voice saying: "A friend in adversity sees the truth. I believe you have good intentions to go deep into the Fumenglou for Cui Mingruo, who has never met before."

As soon as the words fell, she moved her footsteps and took a step back. A burst of dark fragrance was blown into the room, and the breath in the room slowly flowed.It was only then that Xie Liuchen came to his senses, the murderous aura that shrouded the clean room just now.He was slightly taken aback, and inexplicably recalled the scene when he first met Shang Lixing in the Ziyuan Secret Realm: "Brother Shang doubted my origin at that time, didn't question me, and didn't attack me, so he quickly chose to believe me. Brother Shang is the most special in his heart."

He was a little happy, and heard Cave Master Chixia say again: "Only the sect master and Bai Xuan Ji Qing know my identity, not even Qi Huan. I was a little rude just now, please don't blame me, little brother. "

Xie Liuchen scratched his head embarrassingly: "It's no wonder, it's just for the sake of caution. Well, can I call you Sister Cui?"

The master of Chixia Cave put the roster in his arms, hummed, and said: "I have been an undercover agent for the demons for nearly 200 years. I have made some military achievements for the demons with half-truths and half-truths. Although I have a certain status, my appearance has also changed. There are many, but I'm afraid that someone from the Northland Demons has seen my previous portrait."

Xie Liuchen was a little annoyed: "Earlier, Sister Bai told me that you were missing, which caused me to misunderstand..."

Thinking of getting the roster of casual cultivators, Cave Master Chixia felt at ease, and his voice became much lighter: "My statement to the outside world is indeed missing, and Bai Xuan did not say anything wrong."

He grabbed a corner of Xie Liuchen's sleeve robe again, asked his name, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you this time, let's go, thank you junior brother, I will send you out first."

She didn't want Xie Liuchen to say anything, so she dragged him out of the room, all the way around the sparkling lake, and through the jagged rockery.

It was dark night in the Fumenglou, Cui Mingruo was fully on guard and kept Xie Liuchen tightly.

Xie Liuchen already had a good impression of her, but after knowing that she was Cui Mingruo, he was even happier, with a smile on his face all the time.He looked at Cui Mingruo with a smile, and suddenly said: "I see, you appeared at the market that day to save me."

Cui Mingruo said: "I have lived in the Northland for a long time, and I often try to send the human monks living here back to Nanling under the pretext of adopting the face head. That day, the left protector asked me for you, but I was really helpless, so I temporarily sent you He, later on I took advantage of the Left Guard to station troops on the coast, and went back to Fumenglou to look for you in the middle of the night, but luckily nothing happened to you."

"So you are actually unwilling." Xie Liuchen nodded: "I knew I was right."

Seeing his serious look, Cui Mingruo chuckled: "Bai Xuan must like you very much with your character."

Xie Liuchen was a little shy: "Why?"

Cui Mingruo smiled and said: "You have an open-mindedness and kindness that cannot be concealed. When I gave it to Guardian Zuo, not only did you not hate me, but you were willing to get close to me. It is very rare."

Xie Liuchen was very pleased with what he heard, and thought to himself: "The one who likes me the most among the nine of you is not Bai Xuan, but someone else." Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift up.

Probably also affected by his joy, Cui Mingruo smiled and said, "What did you think of, so happy?"

Xie Liuchen was in a good mood, and was about to tell Cui Mingruo about his relationship with senior brother Shang, when the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought: "Sister Cui still doesn't know about my relationship with senior brother Shang, um, don't tell her for now, I will tell her later." Give her a surprise!" Thinking of the scene where Cui Mingruo stared at them in amazement when he and Senior Brother Shang were in love in the future, it was very funny, so he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Cui Mingruo looked at him with a smile, and suddenly asked: "Have you ever been to Buchan Palace?"

Xie Liuchen was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why he asked the starter toad palace inexplicably, and shook his head: "No."

Cui Mingruo smiled and said: "There is a child about your age in Buchan Palace, she doesn't laugh as much as you do."

Xie Liuchen thought to himself: "I laugh because I think of Senior Brother Shang, and I don't usually do that at all." But it was a bit silly to laugh like this. He pinched his face and forced himself not to laugh, but he couldn't help it, pretend After a while, he grinned to himself again.

The more Cui Mingruo looked at him, the more amusing he was, so he wanted to make fun of him, but when he remembered that he was in the enemy camp, he turned his expression back, and said seriously: "I slipped out while the left protector was saving the demon body for the right protector. Will wake up, we have to hurry out of Fumenglou and send you back to Nanling."

Xie Liuchen also put away his smile and nodded vigorously: "Okay."

The two had just walked out of the rockery, when they suddenly heard a hoarse and rough shout from the front hall: "Call that dead woman Chixia!"

Cui Mingruo looked at the suddenly bustling front hall, and frowned: "No, the right protector is awake!"

Pushed Xie Liuchen who didn't know what happened: "You go first, go to the coast to find a chance to escape back to Nanling, and when you reach the border of Nanling, there will naturally be someone to meet you."

Only then did Xie Liuchen come to his senses, and subconsciously asked, "What about my sister?"

Cui Mingruo straightened his clothes, and said: "The right protector calls me by name, I have to go see him, otherwise they can't find me, they have doubts, I'm afraid they will block Beilu before we reach the coast, then it will be true I can't go anymore."

Xie Liuchen heard her tone was cold and hard, knowing that with the guardians around, it would not be that easy to deal with, so he shook his head and said, "Sister Cui, let's go together!"

"You child, why are you so disobedient?" Cui Mingruo glared at him, "Listen to me, when I was in Nanling, Protector You and I attacked the West Bank. At that time, we wanted to keep one more hostage, so we temporarily changed our mind and didn't kill him. Killer, I don't know if the right protector saw that it was me who did it, so this trip is very risky—"

Xie Liuchen became even more worried: "Since this is the case, then I can't go anymore, sister, I will accompany you to deal with the demons."

He summoned the Xiuming Sword in the Sea of ​​Consciousness, held the sword horizontally on his chest, straightened his chest, and looked awe-inspiring.

Seeing that there was nothing to persuade, Cui Mingruo had no choice but to take a step back: "If you want to stay, then stay. Then you hide in the rockery first, and if I haven't come out by midnight, you should go quickly, remember Hold on, don't look back."

Xie Liuchen lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then took half a step back: "Okay, I'll wait here for my sister, but if my sister doesn't come, I won't leave."

Cui Mingruo saw that he insisted on this, so he had no choice but to let him go.

"The one-eyed old servant who was familiar with human language was already killed by me, so hiding in the backyard is the safest." She patted Xie Liuchen's cheek, cast a charming wink, and smiled like a flower: " Don't worry, wait for me to come back." Then he stroked his sideburns and forehead, stepped out of the rockery, and leisurely stepped in the direction of the front hall.

After a while, Xie Liuchen heard Cui Mingruo's voice pretending to be surprised in the distance: "Ah! You are awake, Guardian Right." After trying to concentrate on listening again, there was a man's wild roar, followed by a burst of cups. The sound of discs breaking.

Then inexplicably fell silent.

After another incense stick, the front hall was always quiet.Only the sound of gurgling water could be heard all around, Xie Liuchen was holding the Xiuming sword, guarding alone in the rockery, feeling worried and restless in his heart.

He had already made up his mind that if Cui Mingruo's undercover identity was leaked, he could no longer stay in Beilu, this time he could only flee back to Nanling with him.It's better for two people to go on the road together than to bump into each other without a head. In addition, Cui Mingruo is brother Shang's sworn sister, no matter what, he must not abandon her to face the demons alone.

It's a pity that until midnight, the front hall was still silent, and Cui Mingruo never came out. Xie Liuchen became more and more flustered, and even rushed out of the rockery with his sword in his arms.

Relying on the memory of being brought into Fumenglou by the Zuo protector that day, he jumped up to the front hall of Fumenglou, restrained his breath, hid on a beam, and carefully watched everything in the hall.

The lights in the hall flickered, and amidst the chaos, a glass of wine bottle that was smashed on the ground caught his attention.Only a few turbid and heavy breaths were heard.

The location of this place is not good, Xie Liuchen couldn't see anything clearly, frowned, turned his body, turned around, turned his head, and finally managed to see the scene in the hall.

The first thing that came into view was Cui Mingruo. She was half lying on a black wooden couch, her front was covered with large wine stains, and her clothes were disheveled.

The candlelight hit her beautiful face, her eyes were closed tightly, and her eyebrows were deeply frowned.

And with his back to Xie Liuchen's side, was a tall man's back.Left protector Zhong Ming was taking off his clothes, while walking towards the unconscious Cui Mingruo step by step.

In this situation, the anger suddenly rose, Xie Liuchen's heart was about to explode, the Xiuming sword was opened wide, and the beams and window edges beside him burst like powder.Among the sword light and dust, he rushed in like a falcon, and shouted angrily: "Beast!"

He waved the Xiuming sword in his hand, rushed straight to Cui Mingruo, took her up with his hand, and swept the wind of the sword, blocking the footsteps of Zuo Dharma Protector Zhong Ming.

"Sister Cui! Sister Cui!" Xie Liuchen shook Cui Mingruo vigorously, screaming several times in a hurry, but the person leaning in his arms remained motionless, with his lips tightly pressed together.

Zuo Hufa didn't want someone to bump into him, so he couldn't react at first, but when he saw him, his face suddenly darkened, and he stared directly at Xie Liuchen and the two with cold eyes.

Xie Liuchen also looked at Guardian Zuo with hatred on his face, while quietly reaching out to grab Cui Mingruo's wrist, and after finding out that her breathing was stable, he finally felt relieved.

At this time, a rough male voice suddenly came from the corner: "It turns out that there are still accomplices in Fumenglou. Zhong Ming, I have already said that this woman is not easy."

Xie Liuchen was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that there was another person in the hall. Looking around, he saw a person lying alone on a bed in the corner, his body was covered with bandaged wounds, and his face and expression could not be seen clearly.

He knew that this person was Wuyang, the Right Protector of the Demon Race.

The man said slowly again: "It's been a long time for me to stun this woman, Zhong Ming, it's a rare opportunity, when she wakes up, it won't be fun."

Zuo Dharma Protector Zhong Ming made a move at this moment.

His cultivation base is much stronger than the black-robed man Ban Chi just now, once the coercion is exerted, the room is filled with terrifying demonic energy.Xie Liuchen and Cui Mingruo were shrouded in heavy demonic energy.

For a while, the lights flickered, and Xie Liuchen felt his eyes go dark, and he was caught in a devilish aura.The demonic energy was full of murderous intent, and while holding Cui Mingruo, he summoned the Xiuming Sword to kill the demonic energy.

This demonic energy seemed to be inexhaustible, it was dark, heavy, and boundless, Xie Liuchen's hand tightened suddenly, but Zuo Hufa took the opportunity to grab Cui Mingruo.

He was flustered, accidentally hit by the demonic energy, unable to move, and fell to the side. Seeing Cui Mingruo, who was in the arms of the left protector, there were a few touches of lust in his eyes. He touched her snow-white skin with one hand, and was about to tease her. Open her skirt.

Xie Liuchen gritted his teeth and cursed: "How dare you touch her?"

When he yelled like this, Guardian Zuo's outstretched hand stopped, and Xie Liuchen cursed angrily again: "After she wakes up, she will never forgive you!"

The left protector paused and lowered his head.

At this time, the man in the corner sneered again: "You treat that woman of unknown origin like a pearl like a jewel, and you don't even dare to touch it with a finger. It's a pity that she is just pretending to you, Zhong Ming, Zhong Ming, Do you still have half the dignity of being a man?"

Hearing his sarcasm, Zhong Ming became furious: "Shut up!"

Zuo protector Zhong Ming married a human woman in his early years, so his aesthetics is different from that of ordinary demons. Since Cave Master Chixia came to Beilu, he has been fascinated by her beauty and cared for her, but he never dared to marry her. One step beyond the norm.Just halfway through the recuperation, Guardian You woke up, and the first thing he said was that the Cave Master Chixia was an undercover agent of the human race, and he wanted to summon him to confront him.After Chixia Cave Master came to the hall, he made Ji Jiangren stunned, so that he could hug the beauty back.When the left protector saw the woman he was thinking of, he was in front of him, and the right protector taunted her a few times, and his body was agitated. If Xie Liuchen hadn't rushed in just now, Chixia Cave Master would have lost his body to him long ago.

Xie Liuchen looked at Cui Mingruo who was lying in the arms of the left guardian, full of anxiety.At this time, Wuyang, the right protector, said again in a hoarse voice: "Are you taking this kid as Chixia's substitute? The right master dare not go up, not even a substitute?"
