The words are divided into two parts.
After Chu Yi returned from Danfeng, instead of returning to his dormitory, he went directly to the small bamboo house where Chu Yao was destroyed.
The remains of the puppet that had not been cleaned up were a mess on the ground, and several disciples of the beast peak were checking their spirit beasts.
The spirit beasts of Beast Peak can flexibly distinguish the different auras of different people, and are good at tracking. Chu Yi stood under the bamboo forest not far away and looked at it for a while, then withdrew her gaze, her slender eyelashes drooping slightly, casting a dense shadow on her eyelids.
A disciple of the escort happened to pass by, Chu Yi glanced at it, "Stop."
"Eh..." The disciple was startled and stopped, and when he realized it was Miss Chu Er, he felt a little embarrassed, "What's the matter with you?"
"Ye..." Chu Yi paused, "What about the guards who are with you?"
"They all went to different places to check." The disciple said, "Who are you looking for? Master Chu went to the senior brother, so the guards..."
"I see." Chu Yi said, "Trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble..." The disciple was flattered.
Suddenly, the disciples of the beast peaks seemed to have found something wrong, and gathered around the dilapidated bamboo house door, with their heads together, as if they were arguing about something.
Chu Yi's brows twitched slightly, and she walked around the corpses and wrecks on the ground, "What's wrong?"
The disciples of the beast peak didn't know her very well, they looked at each other for a while, and finally said, "There are a few puppet fragments that have a different aura than the others..."
"Oh?"
A small goat bit a fragment and didn't let go. It seemed to be the spirit beast of a Beast Peak disciple. The Beast Peak disciple had a round face and carefully coaxed his own spirit beast. The watery eyes of the little white goat glanced at Yuanyuan. Face disciple, and finally raised his chin arrogantly.
The round-faced disciple reached out to it helplessly and said, "Let's loose Xiaobai, put it here, go back and give you some meat."
The little goat named Xiaobai reluctantly put the fragments into the owner's hands.
Others have also found fragments of different auras.
The shards were blasted to pitch black and could not be seen as they were. There were only a few pieces, and they couldn't be put together. Several Beast Peak disciples scrambled for a while...
"This is the head!"
"No, not the head, this should be put here..."
"Is that an arm?!"
"Fart, it's obviously legs!"
"… "
"What..."
The little goat next to him let out two lazily "baa" sounds.
"What the hell! It's all your sheep's fault! You see, it's full of saliva!"
"It was obviously bitten by your dog!"
"My little black saliva doesn't stink so much!"
"… "
Chu Yi: "..."
Chu Yi probably understood what they were arguing about just now.
Cursing, cursing, cursing, a few people used their arms as legs and legs, and reluctantly spelled out "people". After spelling it out, they found that it was a very small puppet. , the head is also gone, but it can barely be seen that it was a small puppet before.
"Looking at this crack, it seems to have exploded from the inside." One of the disciples of the beast peak said, "It's a very delicate puppet, and the puppet master who made it should have excellent skills."
The round-faced Beast Peak disciple who raised goats sneered, "It's okay, I know you know a lot about puppet masters, you can just change careers and become puppet masters with your black dog."
The Beast Peak disciple who raised the black dog was about to scold back, but was interrupted by Chu Yi, "I'm really bothering everyone... I just don't know what's going on with this little puppet?"
The disciple of the beast peak who raised the black dog said, "The spiritual energy contaminated by this puppet is pure, biased towards the fire veins, and does not contain any demonic energy. It is very rare. It seems that it should not be those demonized puppets who only know how to fight."
Chu Yi looked at the small black puppet corpse on the stone slab and narrowed his eyes slightly.
… biased towards… fire pulses
Coincidence.
The spiritual energy of Danfeng's veins is all fire veins.
If it were... that would be interesting.
"What are you doing?"
Chu Yao's voice sounded, vaguely impatient, "What are you doing together? Have you finished the inspection?"
The round-faced Beast Peak disciple let out an "ah", "Master Chu... We found a little puppet with fire aura."
"The little puppet of fire spirit? Not a demonized puppet?" Chu Yao was slightly startled, and almost instantly, she thought of the little dwarf who threw persimmons in the melee.
Although I didn't see it clearly... But before she swung that sword, the little dwarf seemed to throw something at the man in black.
Chu Yi also stood up with a slight smile on her lips, "Ah, elder sister came back from senior brother?"
Seeing her, Chu Yao came back to her senses, her brows furrowed, "What are you doing here?"
"Come and help my sister find spies."
Chu Yi pursed her lips and smiled, "Aren't you welcome?"
Chu Yao said bluntly: "Not welcome."
Chu Yi: "There's nothing I can do. I'm happy to see you unhappy."
The corner of Chu Yao's mouth cracked into a smile, and her fist "giggled" sounded, "Don't think I won't beat you."
Chu Yi's smile remained the same, and her eyes became slightly colder, "Oh?"
For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit tense.
in an extremely tense atmosphere.
The goat of the round-faced Beast Peak disciple let out a "baa".
The round-faced disciple: "Ah, Xiaobai, are you scared? Master Chu, you scared my sheep into white!"
The black dog of the Beast Peak disciple who likes to study puppet culture snorted.
The Beast Peak disciple was also shocked: "Ah black iron egg! What are you calling?! Are you uncomfortable?! The two adults are quick to show mercy!!"
Chu Yao: "..." What kind of thing is Yang Baibai
Chu Yi: "..."
So she was very annoyed by the Beast Peak disciples who smelled of chicken shit.
Chu Yao's eyebrows twitched, her fists loosened, and she said impatiently to Chu Yi, "You don't need to meddle in your business here."
Chu Yi glanced at the little puppet on the slate, with the same smile: "But I want to know what elder sister is going to do."
Chu Yao said, "It has nothing to do with you."
"Do you want me to remind my sister?" Chu Yi chuckled, "Huo Lingqi, Danfeng..."
Chu Yao's pupils shrank slightly: "Shut up and get out."
"I'm just saying, what's the big sister's excitement?" Chu Yi achieved her goal and didn't care, "Then I won't bother big sister, goodbye."

the next day.
It's a sunny day.
There was a lot of movement yesterday, and Danfeng also suffered a lot of twists and turns. Many disciples who were sleeping soundly were forcibly pulled up in the middle of the night to check if they were themselves, and they had to show their jade pendants. The most suspicious person who did not return to the Tianjiang Hot Spring at night, as soon as he returned to his luxurious single room, he fell back and slept happily until dawn.
"Ah, so happy."
System: "Get up and go to the morning class."
Morning class.
The classmates around seemed to be sluggish one by one. Only Xia Ge was full of energy. Even the master who was watching the morning class couldn't help but look at her twice.
Xia Ge returned with a bright smile.
The master who watched the morning class was the master who was thrown into the kettle by Chu Yao. He really couldn't show a good face to Xia Ge, so he snorted and looked down at Dan Fang.
Xia Ge didn't take it seriously. She looked down at the book for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. She raised her head sharply, and sure enough—
Huo Bai? !
Huo Bai, who was sitting in front of her left, was sitting there quietly, dressed in Danfeng plain clothes, and sitting upright, and he couldn't see anything abnormal.
Staring at his back, Xia Ge was a little confused for a while.
how is this possible? How could he still be here safe and sound? Although the power of the little puppet she blew up yesterday is not comparable to that of a nuclear bomb, it is all high-grade material she bought from the black market at a high price. He has spiritual energy to protect his body, but in that kind of unexpected situation, he has to blow his face right
But now it looks like nothing is happening
Wasn't Huo Bai the one who attacked last night? Not a white blade? Impossible... Impossible
Could it be that besides Huo Bai, there will be a second spy
"Morning, Xia Wuyin."
Just when Xia Ge's brain was confused and didn't know what to say, while Mao Qing had dark circles under her eyes, she whispered to her, "You seem to be in good spirits..."
Xia Ge calmed down, but his thoughts couldn't help but drift, "Mmmm not bad..."
really? She made so many sacrifices yesterday and it was useless at all
Mao Qing: "Are the melon seeds delicious yesterday?"
Xia Ge immediately became energetic: "Delicious! Milk-flavored! Is there anything else?"
Mao Qing said, "Yes, but you said yesterday that you would bring me persimmons..."
persimmon? persimmon!
Before Mao Qing could finish speaking, Xia Ge slammed her mouth shut.
Mao Qing's eyes widened, "uuu" for a long time, Xia Ge pretended to look at Huo Bai casually, and found that he didn't move in front of him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Persimmons are gone, I'll buy you persimmons later, okay?"
Mao Qing opened her eyes and nodded.
Xia Ge let go, Mao Qing covered her head with a book, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with your persimmons?"
Xia Ge said with a guilty conscience: "... I originally kept it for you yesterday, but it was broken this morning."
Huo Bai still didn't look back.
Xia Ge narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yesterday in the end... Was it him
But it's not his words... Could it be another spy
"Ah, it's broken?" Mao Qing wrinkled her nose and whispered, "What a pity."
When Xia Ge thought that all the persimmons he stole from Jianfeng yesterday were donated to the puppet's head, he nodded with a heartbroken expression, "Yeah, that's a pity... ouch!"
The sudden head was hit hard, and Mao Qing on the opposite side also took a "snap".
"Xia Wuyin! Mao Qing!" The master held the rolled up elixir, blowing his beard and staring, "Isn't it getting skinier?! Do you know that you are in the morning class?! Get out of here and endorse it!"
Xia Ge: "… "
Mao Qing: "..."
The two of them hugged the book and went out in despair under the eyes of the crowd.
The splendid morning sun in the east shone on the earth, and there was still a faint morning mist on the mountain. The two of them were outside the hall. Xia Ge held the elixir, and after reading for a while, he was defeated by the unfamiliar characters in the book.
Mao Qingnian was very serious next to him.
Xia Ge: "… "
Xia Ge poked Mao Qing with his arm, "Hey, I think you came early today."
"Soul Purification Pill... ah?" Mao Qing came back to her senses, and murmured, "This pill actually uses the soul..."
System: "Look at people."
The little lovesickness tied to her head quietly stretched out her little tail when Mao Qing was not paying attention, and patted Xia Ge's head seriously.
It probably also means "you look at people".
Xia Ge: "… "
Mao Qing asked: "I came very early today, what's the matter?"
"...You're so serious." Xia Ge said with a face of vicissitudes, "I should learn more from you."
Mao Qing was stunned for a moment, then a little embarrassed, "What are you talking about, I don't have any talent, so I can only work harder..."
Xia Ge said: "How come, you are very talented."
A person who can refine bigu golden pills is not someone without talent.
"I'm not as good as you." Mao Qing shook her head, "Everyone said that you would become the first prefecture-level alchemist in Danfeng."
Xia Ge smiled dryly, "Do you think it's possible?"
"Why is it impossible?" Mao Qing wondered, then laughed, "As long as it's you, everything is possible."
Xia Ge: "..." It's a little embarrassing to boast.
"In the past hundred years of Danfeng, almost no one has been able to refine the three-life golden elixir in the entry competition. You have done it; there have been almost no special enrollments in the past hundred years, and you have also done it." Mao Qing said, paused, and thought After Xia Ge's strange appearance in the competition, he smiled again, "You are always turning the 'impossible' in my heart into a 'possible'."
Xia Ge: "..." You misunderstood, being able to become a special student is really due to the big sister's release of water.
"You are very powerful, Xia Wuyin." Mao Qing said seriously, "When I first entered the inner door, I never thought about becoming an earth-level alchemist, which is a distant dream for every alchemist today. At least I want to become stronger, at least don’t let the junk from Jianfeng step me under my feet, at least straighten my spine… But…”
She looked at Xia Ge, "But everyone is saying, you can."
"So I was thinking, since you can... then if I try, maybe it's okay too."
Xia Ge: "That's a false rumor..."
"Whether you can do it or not, but at least, because of you, I now think that Earth-level alchemists are not so out of reach." Mao Qing said softly, "I want to thank you, no matter whether it is successful or not, at least... you give gave me the courage to pursue it."
"You've heard people talk nonsense. It would be embarrassing if I couldn't do it, and I didn't do anything." Xia Ge was a little suffocated.
"The important thing is not whether you can do it, but whether you can do it or not." Mao Qing thought for a while and smiled, "It's because you haven't done anything that everything is possible."
Xia Ge: "..." Although what you said seems to make sense, I still feel that something is not quite right.
Xia Ge looked at the book in her hand, and finally said sincerely, "I think you will become an Earth-level alchemist."
Mao Qing smiled, "Together."
Xia Ge came back to his senses, "Oh, by the way, what did I just want to ask you?"
Mao Qing was at a loss: "Did you just ask me something?"
Xia Ge: "I remember... You came very early today?"
Mao Qing said: "I don't know why I suddenly searched last night. After the search, I didn't fall asleep, so I just packed up and came over earlier."
Xia Ge gave an "oh" and asked nonchalantly, "Then after you came... How long has Huo Bai been here?"
Hearing Xia Ge suddenly mentioning Huo Bai, Mao Qing seemed to remember something, "I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. Speaking of which, I feel that Huo Bai is a bit strange today..."
Xia Ge's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm, "Huh?"
"He used to have mints hidden in his sleeves. I could see him stealing it every morning when I was in class." Mao Qing said in confusion, "I didn't see him eating it today, it's weird."
Xia Ge: "..." Choking.
"... Except for this?" Xia Ge stabilized, "Do you feel weak? Or... limping when you walk?"
Mao Qing was just about to say something, but when she realized what Xia Ge asked, her expression suddenly became subtle, she looked at Xia Ge: "...Why do you ask that?"
Xia Ge hesitated, "Well, what about this..."
After a pause, Mao Qing opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe it: "He went to the kiln with you yesterday?!"
Xia Ge suddenly choked with a sip of water: "Cough cough..."
Mao Qing pinched her shoulders and shook her excitedly, "Is that so?!"
Xia Ge was shaken and dizzy: "cough cough... no, no..."
And what the hell are you thinking about, why are you still going to the kiln with her? Does she seem to enjoy visiting the kiln? !
Mao Qing: "Then why do you ask that?"
Xia Ge eased his breath: "..." That's right.
Mao Qing: "Huh?"
Xia Ge suddenly became serious: "Although I didn't go, I suspect he went."
System: "..." Is it really good to splash dirty water like this
Mao Qing also looked at her suspiciously.
... I'm sorry Brother Huo! Now that you are a spy, you must have the awareness of being black to the end! It's time to take revenge on the black market!
Xia Ge was serious and persuasive, "Look, Huo Bai knows how to practice even if he is addicted to pleasure, how could he have never been to a kiln."
Mao Qing: "You lied. Yesterday, Sanfeng searched. If Huo Baiye didn't return home, he would definitely be taken away. How can he have morning classes here today?"
The three peaks search is after the incident, if you use the fixed-point teleportation stone, you can come back before the search, the suspicious point is...
Why can't Huo Bai see any signs of injury
Xia Ge didn't change his face: "Hey, I didn't say he went last night, I said he had been there before, hey, let's not talk about this, is there anything strange?"
Mao Qing had reservations about Huo Bai's visit to the kiln. After thinking about it, he said, "A strange place... He is also very cold to me today."
Xia Ge: "..." Although it may seem a little unpleasant to say this, but in retrospect, he didn't seem to be enthusiastic about you one day.
Although Xia Ge didn't say anything, Mao Qing also saw through her thoughts at a glance, she snorted, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, I'll tell you, it's different."
"Although he didn't really want to pay attention to me before, but..." Mao Qing thought for a while and frowned, "I can't tell, anyway, he is a bit weird today."
Xia Ge opened his eyes and said nonsense: "He may be thinking about how to redeem a girl in the kiln."
Mao Qing made a gesture to leave: "I'll tell him to go if you talk nonsense again."
Xia Ge held her back: "I'll buy you persimmon cakes from Jinjiang Sugar Shop."
Mao Qing: "No."
Xia Ge endured the pain: "A pound of mints!"
Mao Qing: "Who wants mint, I want cherry blossoms!"
Xia Ge: "… "
Mao Qing: "I told him to go."
Xia Ge: "Sakura of Sakura!!"
Yes, bankrupt.
System: "Let you talk nonsense, you deserve it."
Xia Ge: "… "
The two read the book for a while.
Xia Ge said cautiously: "...Let's discuss, can we have half a catty of cherry blossom sugar."
Mao Qing squinted and read the book, without squinting: "Alright, then add half a catty of dried persimmons."
Xia Ge: "… "
You go tell him goodbye.

"Miss, what are you cutting this wood for?"
Tourmaline finished cleaning up the room, and she was a little confused when she saw the young lady sitting at the table with a carving knife, who had just returned from the Lingxi Peak Council Hall.
Gu Peijiu paused for a moment, and after a while, "It's nothing, just engrave something. When you bring the file to be processed, you can do your own thing."
"Oh..." Tourmaline was still a little curious, "do you want to engrave a seal, miss?"
"No." Gu Peijiu shook his head, then said, "Go quickly."
Seeing that her young lady didn't seem to want to talk about it, Tourmaline didn't ask any further questions, and went down the mountain to get the file according to her words.
Gu Peijiu took out the wood in his hand, it was a snow-white white wood.
The warm sunlight outside the window passed through the green curtain and fell on the table. There were two whiskers stuck on the small porcelain vase. The girl in red and white maple lowered her eyelashes, and the carving knife in her hand snaked into a painting on the wood, carving it carefully.
The fine pieces of wood were scattered, and Baimu slowly took on a humanoid appearance.
The sunlight was soft, lining the girl's slender hands and beautiful eyebrows.
After a while, Tourmaline came back with the file, saw the semi-finished product in Gu Peijiu's hand, and opened her eyes slightly, "Miss... This is... ?"
Gu Peijiu paused, put the things in his hands aside, and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing to play with."
"Give me the file."
Tourmaline put the file on the table, but couldn't help but move her gaze to the little puppet. After a while, she said, "Miss, your carver is really good."
Gu Peijiu gave a low "um" and opened the file.
The first thing I saw was the strengthening of martial law.
Then I turned it over again, and it was a detailed report on the night attack of the demon sect spies yesterday.
Tourmaline looked away from the puppet and asked, "Miss, why was Xia Wuyin in your room yesterday?"
Gu Peijiu said, "I don't know."
Tourmaline: "… "
Looking at the young lady yesterday, I seem to have known that Xia Wuyin was here...
But when did he come? how did it get here? Why is she not impressed at all? Could it be... a teleportation stone
... Xia Wuyin actually has a teleportation stone in his hand that can be directly teleported to the lady's boudoir? ! impossible? !
Tourmaline took a closer look at Gu Peijiu's expression, but didn't find anything wrong with her, and didn't say that she meant to punish Xia Wuyin, so she was a little confused.
After thinking about it, she couldn't help but say, "Then...Aren't you angry?"
Gu Peijiu: "Why are you angry?"
Tourmaline said: "Xia Wuyin's kid appeared in your room in the middle of the night, he must be plotting something wrong, of course you must be angry."
"The plot is wrong?" Gu Peijiu contacted the reality, thought about the small body that Xia Wuyin could lift with one hand, and shook his head.
"She can't, she's too young."
Tian Zhuling, who was lying on her stomach, seemed to remember something, and tilted the red ling slightly.
Gu Peijiu glanced at it.
Seeing the master's attention, it squirmed happily, and quietly lifted itself to a height similar to Gu Peijiu's chest, and then quietly made a poking motion.
Then quickly slumped down and started playing dead.
Gu Peijiu: "..."
Tourmaline didn't see Hong Ling's movements: "Not too young! They're thirteen years old!"
Gu Peijiu retracted his gaze and flipped a page of the dossier as if nothing had happened. Instead of answering, he would say to himself, "... I'm only thirteen years old."
too small.
No wonder it's so small.
Tourmaline: "… "
Gu Peijiu: "Oh, yes, Tianzhuling looks a little dirty... You need to rub it a few more times when you wash it today."
Tourmaline: "Huh? I just washed it yesterday."
Tianzhuling slowly shrunk herself into the corner.
Gu Peijiu turned a page and repeated expressionlessly, "It's dirty. I need to rub it a few more times."
Tourmaline: "… "
The sun is just right, the half-carved white wooden doll on the table is in the sun, the cat's eyes are wide, and the smile on the lips is bright.
