Castlevania Lord's Mansion.
Zhao Xiaqiu was walking in front. He looked back several times, wanting to talk to Nangong Xier and the others, but was glared back by Nangong Xier.
Nangong Xier carried Su Baiyi on her back, holding a sword in one hand, and kept a three-step distance from Zhao Xiaqiu vigilantly.
"Miss Nangong, whether you believe it or not, I don't know this." Zhao Xiaqiu said sincerely.
"Whether you know it or not, it all happened." Nangong Xier answered indifferently.
Zhao Xiaqiu lowered his head and remained silent. After a long while, he said, "The city lord is a trustworthy person."
"That's for you, for me and Su Baiyi. The Demon City Lord Mo Wen is someone we met for the first time, that's all." Nangong Xier replied.
Zhao Xiaqiu thought for a long time and finally said, "Sorry, I won't do that again."
Nangong Xier's tone finally softened a little: "Tomorrow morning, I need to write a letter to the academy. Can the letter be sent out of the city now?"
Zhao Xiaqiu nodded: "There are carrier pigeons in the city, so it's fine." After that, Zhao Xiaqiu stopped and opened the door in front of him. The room was large and beautifully decorated, but there was only one bed. Nangong Xier suddenly thought of something and her face turned slightly red again.
"This is the room the city lord arranged for you two." Zhao Xia Qiu said.
"One...one room?" Nangong Xier looked a little embarrassed.
Zhao Xiaqiu frowned slightly: "Isn't it just one room? You were at Yuelai Inn before..."
"Yes, it's one room." Nangong Xier walked in with Su Baiyi on her back. She closed the door, put Su Baiyi on the bed, and checked Su Baiyi's breathing, which was still calm. She finally felt relieved, then walked to the table and sat down. Her mind was full of the words that the Demon City Lord had just said.
If the Demon City Lord was not lying, then the Tianmen Holy Sect was slandered and framed. They went to help the major sects fight against the visitors from Yingzhou, but after winning, they were treated as the Demon Sect. So for the sake of the dead sect disciples, she must seek justice from the Shanglin Tiangong.
Outside the door, Zhao Xia Qiu did not leave. Instead, he sat cross-legged, took off the two broken swords on his back, and placed them beside him.
Yan Xiaotang pushed the wheelchair to the door and saw Zhao Xiaqiu sitting there. He frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Xiaqiu raised his head: "I should be the one asking you, what are you doing here?"
"Some things cannot be confirmed yet. I want to take some more of Su Baiyi's blood." Yan Xiaotang replied.
Zhao Xiaqiu shook his head: "Master Su and Miss Nangong have already rested. You can come again tomorrow. If they agree, come and take blood."
Yan Xiaotang tapped the back of the chair with his fingers: "What's wrong with you now?"
Zhao Xiaqiu suddenly pulled out a broken sword, raised his right hand, and hit three silver needles on the ground. He said in a deep voice: "Your hidden weapons are useless to me, so stop wasting your energy."
Yan Xiaotang slapped the back of the chair heavily, and three flying knives popped out from under the wheelchair. Zhao Xiaqiu immediately raised his sword, but the three flying knives did not fly towards him, but towards the door. He was stunned, and immediately stood up and kicked the other broken sword in front of him. The broken sword flew out and smashed the three flying knives to the ground in front of the door.
"Mad man!" Yan Xiaotang raised his hand and was about to strike again, but a broken sword was already on his neck.
"I told you, your hidden weapons don't work on me." Zhao Xia Qiu said coldly.
"Why are you protecting two outsiders?"
"Not an outsider."
"oh?"
"It's a guest."
The door was opened at this time, and Nangong Xier walked out. Looking at the scene outside, she said impatiently, "It's so noisy. We have been traveling for such a long time, can't we have a good sleep?"
Zhao Xiaqiu still held the sword and looked at Yan Xiaotang: "Did you hear that?"
"Okay." Yan Xiaotang pushed the wheelchair back, "Then I'll come back tomorrow."
Nangong Xier returned to the room and said to Zhao Xiaqiu, "You don't have to do this. Go back to your own place."
"No need." Zhao Xiaqiu took back his two broken swords and placed them in front of him again. "I will be waiting outside the house while Miss Nangong and Master Su are in Demon City. What happened tonight will not happen again. Even if the city lord comes in person, it will be the same."
"Su Baiyi is right. You are such a strange person." Nangong Xier said helplessly.
Zhao Xiaqiu was silent for a moment and then said, "Many people have said this, but I don't think I'm weird."
"It's interesting because it's strange." Nangong Xier closed the door, "Su Baiyi already treats you as a friend."
"I also consider you two as friends." Zhao Xiaqiu replied.
Inside the main courtyard, Mo Wen yawned, looked at Yan Xiaotang who had a cold face in front of him, and said with a smile: "I warned you before you went, but you were still turned away. In terms of fighting, Zhao Xiaqiu can be ranked in the top three among you nine evils. If he gets ruthless, even the boss will not get any advantage. Your chair hidden weapon is really useless in front of him."
"This lunatic." Yan Xiaotang cursed, "If you don't let me in tomorrow, I will poison you. Don't blame me for not caring about our brotherhood then."
"Among the nine evils in Demon City, who is not a lunatic? Aren't you a lunatic too? Didn't I advise you not to be so hasty at the beginning? Don't be so hasty, but you insisted on drugging people on the first day they entered the city, and taking their blood. After taking the blood, you felt it was not enough, so you took it again. After you have done all these, I will tell others that we in Demon City have no ill will towards you, and we are all friends." Mo Wen rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, "Are you kidding me?"
Yan Xiaotang said anxiously, "After you told me about the visitors from Yingzhou, I have been very curious about it. Now a monster has come to my door. Shouldn't I seize the time to explore the mystery instead of sitting here foolishly and waiting for them to visit the scenery of Demon City?"
"I've already told you he's a madman. A madman only cares about his own principles and ignores the principles of others." Mo Wen waved his hand, "Go down and have a rest. When you see Su Baiyi tomorrow, tell him that you can help him cure his illness, and he will let you take his blood."
"We have to wait another night." Yan Xiaotang muttered to himself, still very dissatisfied, but he turned his wheelchair and walked out of the house.
Ye Huo was waiting outside the door. When he saw Yan Xiaotang leave, he nodded slightly at Mo Wen and left as well.
Mo Wen sat in the house and saw the golden sword beside him. He smiled and said, "There should be many old friends waiting outside the city right now."
