After returning to Bai Ruochen's mansion—
The entire house is still empty.
Looking around, I only saw an extremely beautiful soul bird and a teenager who was about ten years old.
They were all busy doing their own things, and didn't even notice that someone had entered quietly.
Feng Wuxie observed with interest—
The young man seemed to know that the owner of the courtyard was about to return, and he was concentrating on cooking tea and wine, while the soul bird stopped on the treetops in the courtyard, lazily performing some spiritism.
Naturally, this bird is Bai Ruochen's imperial sweeper—Jie Lingniao.
As a soul beast dispatched by Bai Ruochen to clean the courtyard, Jie Lingniao was boringly cleaning the falling snow in the courtyard, while performing soul purification skills, while complaining to the young boy angrily about the master's injustice:
"Just let me be a floor sweeper every day, but I actually left me at home!"
"The whole yard is already so clean. Except for snow, what else can be cleaned up? Boy, do you think the master doesn't like me?"
"Speaking of which, it always snows in this place. When I came here to settle down two years ago, I still felt that the scenery was beautiful, but the beautiful snow scenery can’t help but enjoy it every day and night. Alas, I’m tired of watching it. Not tired?"
"The master likes the blue-eyed blood lion, and he has to take it with him wherever he goes, but for me, he either throws me at home or throws me in the soul seal. I'm going to die of suffocation!"
"Boy, are you right?"
"Boy, you know how to talk, but you always don't say a word... It's really boring."
However, no matter how Jie Lingniao twittered, the boy named Xiaotong didn't say a word, just sitting there quietly doing his work.
After a while, the boy raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the courtyard gate. Only then did he remind Jie Lingniao: "The master is back."
When Jie Ling bird heard it, her wings trembled with fright, and a few white feathers flew down and merged with snowflakes.
Perhaps it was because it said bad things about the master. It flew back and forth nervously for several laps before stammering at Bai Ruochen to please: "Lord, lord, lord..."
However, before it could say the following words, it was interrupted by a familiar voice!
"You stupid bird, who is called'pig'? Dare to say that Brother Ruochen is a pig? Calling once is not enough, do you still call back and forth
-Mo Ya chuckled at the corner of her mouth, unceremoniously, and directly controlled the snowflakes with her spirit power, condensed into a snow force, like a snowball fight, and threw it towards the Jie Ling bird with a crackle!
With an agile posture, with wings spread and closed, Jie Lingbird was already dancing, gracefully and skillfully avoiding those snowballs, and then flew in mid-air, and said to Mo Ya in a grieved voice:
"Miss Mo Ya, if you don't help me begging with the master, you still tease me! The master doesn't like me, do you also like me?"
Mo Ya and Bai Ruochen have known each other since childhood. Many of his soul beasts have a good relationship with Mo Ya. This Jie
The Spirit Bird is no exception.
In fact, Mo Ya has always liked Jie Ling Bird because it is extremely beautiful, has a nice voice, and is covered with snow-white feathers. It is also a soul beast with the ability to purify. For her extremely clean addiction, it is almost The most suitable playmate.
Mo Ya always likes to tease it once in a while, and she has not seen this bird for two or three years now, so she couldn't help but tease it.
"Hurry up and work, sweeping bird!" Mo Ya winked at Jie Lingbird, and slammed Bai Ruochen's mouth, indicating that Bai Ruochen was not in a very good mood, and he had better behave.
Jie Lingniao immediately understood, kept silent, continued to serve as a sweeper, and focused on fighting the falling snow in the courtyard...
Bai Ruochen didn't say much, and went straight past the place where Jie Lingniao was. He didn't stop, as if he didn't see it at all, and entered the room.
Feng Wuxie and his party also followed.
The young boy named Xiaotong was very reticent, but very sensible. He took the brewed tea and brewed wine into the room without hesitation. After pouring them one by one, he bowed and retired.
Several people walked in the snow for a long time. At this moment, there was tea to warm up. Naturally, they enjoyed it very much. They all sat down and talked about drinking together.
Only Bai Ruochen, as always reticent, like an icy and snow immortal who lives in the world and just happened to live here, looked at everything indifferently, but said nothing, and was deserted.
What's rare is that Di Qianxie doesn't quarrel with Feng Wuxie much today, but has become much more silent than usual.
Until a long while later, Feng Wuxie noticed that Di Qianxie and Bai Ruochen exchanged glances...
Feng Wuxie had instincts, Bai Ruochen should have something to talk to Emperor Qianxie alone.
That’s why I thought about it—
Afterwards, he really heard Bai Ruochen speak:
"You have been awake for a few days since you entered the disciple forest. Please go back to the bedroom and rest first. Later, the children will bring meals into your room."
This is driving people in disguise.
Mo Ya naturally saw Bai Ruochen's intentions: "Brother Ruochen, I finally came back. Why do you drive us away when you speak? I still want to..."
"Mo Ya!" Mo Rong interrupted her: "Go."
After speaking, he directly pulled Mo Ya and walked out first.
Feng Wuxie and An Lingxi followed closely behind.
Before leaving, Feng Wuxie glanced at Emperor Qianxie—
Di Qianxie smiled faintly: "Go, I'll look for you in your room later, and have dinner together."
Feng Wuxie nodded clearly, closed the door for them, and left.
Mu Xue was in abundance, and the house was deep.
After everyone else has left—
Bai Ruochen and Emperor Qianxie looked at each other.
Bai Ruochen said: "I have something that you must be interested in."
As he said, stretched out his hand and spread out his palm in front of Di Qianxie—
Emperor Qianxie looked down lazily, looking casually.
This…
I saw that between Bai Ruochen's palm, there was suddenly—
Shards of Soul-Satisfying Jade!
Different from the two souls that Di Qianxie kept, the one held in Bai Ruochen's hands was black, and the soul power contained in it was relatively restrained. Obviously, there were not too many evil souls collected.
He was taken aback first.
How could Bai Ruochen also have the soul-storing jade in his hands
Afterwards, the corners of Di Qianxie's lips slowly showed a meaningful evil smile: "Heh, funny, how did you get this stuff?"
"Bai's former residence."
—It is the place where Bai Ruochen's family was.
Since Bai Ruochen found there, he has been investigating secretly.
Di Qianxie's eyes aroused a trace of inquiry: "When did you find this thing?"
"recent."
Di Qianxie's eyes grew deeper and deeper, he sneered, and asserted:
"Impossible, Bai Ruochen, are you a three-year-old kid teasing when you are the leader? You have been in the Haotian Academy for the past few months. I already knew that. But the former residence of the Bai family is far away in the Emperor Spirit continent, so short Time, you can't go back and forth at all!"
"Ah."
This time, Bai Ruochen actually smiled, but his smile always seemed to be filled with sadness and indifference:
"It's okay to tell you that when you were still in the Moro Kingdom, I had already set off to the Emperor Spirit Continent-and, Emperor Qianxie, you wouldn't be so stupid to believe that there was no one around me, alone and helpless, right? "
"Isn't it?" Di Qianxie sneered.
Di Qianxie didn't bother to continue asking questions on this kind of time issue.
That year, after Bai Ruochen left Emperor Lingjiao, he almost disappeared.
Even in the former residence of the Bai family, Emperor Qianxie didn't know how he found out at the time.
However, Bai Ruochen has always had his own style of acting, and Emperor Qianxie didn't have the interest to ask him the details of his whereabouts in the past two years.
"You should have checked the Bai's former residence many times, haven't you found it before?"
Bai Ruochen's answer is concise:
"The Bai family has built a secret room underground, which is blocked by a barrier. It is almost impossible for outsiders to detect it, so I didn't find it at all in the first two years. Moreover, in that entire room, there was only one curse. The wooden box locked by the technique."
"Spell? Have you solved it?"
"Blood-blood curse." Bai Ruochen's face was as white as jade, his tone couldn't hear sorrow and joy, but his eyelashes dropped slightly: "I don't know why, the Bai family wants to guard this piece of soul-storing jade. The defensive curse is extremely strong. Outsiders can’t even see it at all, only the people of the Bai family can see it, and only with their own blood can they unlock the spell. I finally unlocked it.”
After speaking, Bai Ruochen put the jade of soul-bearing on the table.
Emperor Qianxie raised his eyes to look at Bai Ruochen, and Bai Ruochen also looked at him.
Between the meeting of eyes, a tacit understanding came to life, and the two said in the same voice:
"—I suspect that your family's feud has something else hidden!"
"—I suspect that my family's feud has something else hidden."
Paused.
The two said in unison again:
"It's related to the Holy Gate!"
