"You come in."
Xia Fan's thoughts raced in his mind. The scene that happened in the underground center really happened for a reason. The other party obviously noticed something and the chain reacted.
The only doubt is why she suddenly changed her mind and gave up the investigation
Yan Qing did not deliver the message through a messenger, but chose to come to the door quietly, which proved that she did not want her trip to be leaked, so it was a safe choice to enter the room to find out his motives first.
There were a total of five people and two demons in the wing room on this floor, including him. Even if the visitor was a Qingjian, he believed that the other party could not hurt Li.
"Can I talk to her alone?"
Yan Qing asked as she walked.
"You have to ask her opinion on this."
"Oh? Aren't you her superior officer?"
"A superior officer cannot force his subordinates to do something they don't want to do."
Qing Jian showed a thoughtful expression.
Xia Fan led her to the hall, "Wait here for a moment."
Entering the inner room, the others were already in place. Qianzhi showed an expression of eagerness to try, and his clenched fists were covered with a layer of ice.
Xia Fan held her forehead and nodded to Li.
Everyone immediately understood what was going on - they stood still for the time being and waited to see what would happen.
When he and the fox demon returned to the hall, Yan Qing actually poured himself a cup of tea, sat down and drank it leisurely, "I remember that there were several alchemists from Jinxia, but I didn't expect that the building would be so quiet. Aren’t they here now?”
"Maybe you're still sleeping in, right?" Xia Fan said in a deceptive way.
"The weather in Shangyuan is indeed no better than in the south, so it's not surprising that I got up late." Yan Qing put down the tea cup and said, "Even I can feel a bit of coolness in the air at this moment."
Does this mean that he is being stared at
"So, Miss Li, I wonder if I can talk to you alone?" She looked at the fox demon.
"No, I have nothing to hide from Xia Fan. If you want to say something, just say it here."
"I understand. In that case..." Yan Qing took out a cloth bag from her arms and placed it on the low table, "I wonder if you have seen this thing?"
Li reached out and opened the cloth bag.
Inside was a hairpin.
It is not made of jade, it looks ordinary. The wooden hairpin body is a bit old, and the flower carving on the end even has a few dark brown marks, as if it has been burned by fire.
It's really strange that such a mundane thing appears in Qingjian's hands.
"No, I've never seen -" Li held it and turned it over twice, and suddenly his whole body was shocked! She pulled the hairpin close to her eyes, with an expression of disbelief on her face, "Where did you get this wooden hairpin?"
This exclamation distracted Xia Fan's attention.
At the moment when Li was extremely surprised, Yan Qing's chain suddenly moved and flew straight towards the fox demon's arm!
She was caught off guard, and one of her arms was immediately wrapped in a chain, making her unable to move. The tip rose up like a snake, and then pierced into Li's palm.
This guy - actually wants to do something to Li in front of him!
After reacting, Xia Fan also grabbed the opponent as quickly as possible.
At such a close distance, and with the two of them already in contact, if you use more than two levels of streamers or thunder, Li will be accidentally injured. The safest way is to make close contact and then use the paralysis caused by the first-level technique to force the two of them to separate.
"Don't move, I'm fine!"
However, Li stopped Xia Fan with his other hand.
"She didn't mean to kill me. The chains didn't go deep."
Not deep
Only then did he notice that the chain was only half an inch into his palm. Although blood was gushing out, it avoided the weak parts such as muscles and bones. The front part of the chain gradually turned red, as if it was sucking Li's blood.
The owner of the chain, Yan Qing, did not show any further attack. She closed her eyes slightly and her brows trembled from time to time, as if she was sensing something. The moment the chains were loosened, she let out a deep breath and opened her eyes. The shock in her eyes was no less than that of Li.
"How could...her child actually survive?"
"Answer me!" Li grabbed the other party's collar and repeated through gritted teeth, "Where is the owner of the wooden hairpin?"
The green sword did not knock Li away, but let her shake back and forth for a few times before focusing his somewhat distracted gaze on Li's face again, "But you are nothing like that person... What the hell is going on here?" thing?"
"Both of you, sit still!" Xia Fan couldn't help but stepped forward to separate the two of them, "Li, this hairpin - could it be your master's?"
Li nodded slightly, "I didn't recognize it at first because it was too ordinary, but those marks on Chai's body—"
Xia Fan followed her words and looked at the hairpin, only to see a few thin dents scattered on the old wooden stick.
"The teeth marks were clearly left by my bite!"
"you sure?"
"I still remember that at that time, my instinct was still there, and I always wanted to bite something when there were teeth in my mouth... Master took off the hairpin and put it in my mouth."
But now the hairpin is in Yan Qing's hands. The latter is also a Qingjian. If she is Li's master, Li should have recognized her long ago. It can only be said that this person had a very close relationship with Li's master, otherwise he would not be able to obtain such a personal thing. "Now it's your turn." Xia Fan asked Yan Qing in a deep voice, "What is your relationship with her master? Where is her master now?"
"Master?" Yan Qing grinned, "So that's what she told you? That's right. Since you two separated a long time ago, you naturally have no way of knowing what kind of blood is flowing in your body."
Bloodline
"No way..." Xia Fan suddenly thought of a possibility, "Do you mean-"
"Yes, the original owner of this hairpin was named Li Mengyun, and you are her child." Yan Qing looked directly at Li Dao.
This sentence made the two of them freeze in place.
Is there really a mother-daughter relationship
"How do you know that this person's blood is flowing on her body?"
"Weaving locks as proof." Yan Qing spread her hands, and iron ropes kept pouring out of her cuffs, as if they were endless. These chains intertwined under her body to form a uniform and dense network. "My ability can pass through blood and breath. , recording the response methods of each type of opponent. The more enemies it has fought, the stronger the Weaving Lock will be. At the same time, it will automatically be alert to enemies that enter the alert range. In the underground center of the Privy Council's Record Department, the Chain will tell I, a person who could never have appeared, walked into the net I laid."
"And you have never fought against Li before." Xia Fan suddenly said.
"Yes, at first I just subconsciously wanted to interrogate her details, but after learning the news from the chain's 'memory', I realized that Li's blood was not ordinary."
The screening range of this iron chain can actually be traced back to bloodline. The green swords in the Privy Council House really have extraordinary abilities.
"Wait a minute," Xia Fan suddenly thought of a key question, "The chain requires blood to record information. Doesn't it mean that you and Li Mengyun were not friends before, but enemies?"
Yan Qing sighed softly, "The correct way to say it is to be friends first, then enemies."
