Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

Xu Zhihui and Lan Ying got out of bed together, put on their coats, and turned on a light.

Lan Ying went to open the window, but saw that the wind was still blowing outside, so she closed the window again.

"Has the wind been blowing all night?"

"Yes."

Xu Zhihui just stuck her head out to observe. There was no moon, and the sky was starting to turn slightly red. It was probably because the sun was about to come out. The bright spot was surrounded by blood-red clouds, which became more and more conspicuous.

The bald man named "Hong Ling" said that they would meet again soon, but Xu Zhihui was still worried that he would ruin today's wedding.

That person really refuses to give up.

Xu Zhihui was very upset. Why didn’t I get rid of him in one go? That guy was strong enough to be able to escape like this.

Why did he come all the way to deal with Queen Yan?

Xu Zhihui would never accept his threat and would try her best to rescue Queen Yan.

Lan Ying saw her lost in thought and asked, "Hui, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, ah..."

Xu Zhihui had used too much mental energy in her dream and was now a little tired. She covered her mouth involuntarily and yawned.

Although it was a dream, it was a real feeling.

"Hui, didn't you sleep well?" Lan Ying asked with concern.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, I'm in good spirits."

Xu Zhihui smiled, took Lan Ying's arm affectionately, and said, "Sister-in-law, today is your wedding day. I wish you a happy wedding, and may you and your brother and sister-in-law be together forever and live happily ever after."

"Thank you, Hui."

"Hui, wait, let me show you the pearl our mother gave me. I plan to wear it today."

"Hurrah."

That year, He Zhang prepared a gift for each of his two daughters-in-law, which was later handed over to them by Sun Xiaofei. Xu Zhihui got the phoenix hairpin, and Lan Ying got a pearl.

Now, Xu Zhihui knew that the phoenix hairpin originally belonged to the phoenix, so it had finally been returned to its original owner.

I don’t know what the pearl in my sister-in-law’s hand looks like.

Lan Ying excitedly went to the cupboard and found a wooden box, the same style as the one she used to store her phoenix hairpin.

The moment she opened the box, soft white light leaked out from the gap, like a ray of bright moon in the darkness. When the lid was fully opened, it illuminated the room.

She took out the orb and placed it on her palm. Every corner of the room was illuminated, but the light was very soft.

Even if you look at it up close, it's not dazzling at all.

The orb is the size of a ping-pong ball, a perfect sphere, crystal clear.

This gem is different from the "Forest Light" that Xu Zhihui first saw at the auction. The light of the forest is very strong and very dazzling, like a little sun.

In fact, the light of the forest is not a night-shining pearl, but the crystal soul of the phoenix. This crystal soul contains the fire of the phoenix, so the light is so strong that it can blind people.

The grandfather of the auction owner was blinded by this crystal soul.

Lan Ying's pearl is different. It makes people feel comfortable. It keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer when you put it on your body. It can also drive away diseases. It is a real treasure.

"So beautiful." Xu Zhihui praised.

She remembered Sun Xiaofei saying that the pearl also served as a talisman.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a black shadow rushing out from Lan Ying's body, which surprised her. There was actually a black shadow attached to her sister-in-law.

hiss--

so close.

If Lan Ying hadn't held this gem, it would have been lurking inside her body all along. The gem really does have the effect of warding off evil spirits.

The shadow appeared so suddenly that Xu Zhihui didn't have time to catch it. It flashed by and she didn't see clearly what it looked like, but it looked like a human figure.

She hurried to follow the shadow, but it ran so fast that it slipped out of the room through the crack in the door.

Xu Zhihui's first reaction was to chase it.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to be out for a while."

As she spoke, she opened the door and chased out.

Lan Ying called from behind: "Hui, what's wrong?"

"I'll be back in a minute."

Xu Zhihui was not sure where the shadow had gone, so she just chased it based on her instincts. She was sure it must be an evil intrusion, and she couldn't just watch it escape.

There are five or six courtyards in Zhongli Palace. She ran through the corridor and chased for about 200 meters, and came to the middle of another courtyard. She could not see the shadow at all.

After searching for a while, she had to give up.

Just as she was about to go back, she shuddered and felt something around her. She turned around and vaguely saw a woman in the distance in the corridor of the courtyard.

The woman was very tall and stood in a dim corner, seeming to be looking at Xu Zhihui.

This figure is very familiar.

"teacher?"

Xu Zhihui cried out.

She knew that Han Jinfeng had also stayed in Zhongli Palace last night, and the teacher always had the habit of doing morning exercises, so it was normal for the teacher to appear here at this time.

"Teacher...is that you?"

Xu Zhihui walked straight towards the corner, but after a few steps, the woman in the corner disappeared.

"Did I see it wrong?"

She walked to the corner, but there was no one there, so she looked around.

She rubbed her eyes and consoled herself: "I am probably hallucinating."

After that dream, she always felt vaguely as if there was something around her.

As she walked back, she murmured, "I'm really tired. I have to go back and take a shower to wake myself up."

Xu Zhihui originally wanted to go check on Han Jinfeng, but then she thought better of it, thinking that perhaps the teacher was still sleeping, so she shouldn't disturb her.

When they returned to the outside of their room, they saw a beautiful and heroic figure walking towards them. It was Shangguan Jing.

"Good morning, Sister Shangguan, you're here?"

Xu Zhihui greeted her and walked over quickly.

"Morning, Hui."

Shangguan Jing paused and saw that she was only wearing a coat, pajamas and slippers. "Why did you run out? What happened?"

"Sister Shangguan, when you came in from outside, did you notice anything unusual? Like a dark shadow or something?"

"Dark Shadow?"

Shangguan Jing did not take a carriage this time when she came down from Mingyue Palace. She ran all the way using her lightness skills. This was much faster than taking a carriage, and she felt more comfortable.

Her lightness skill has reached the pinnacle level, and she can walk on mountains or jungles as if on flat ground.

The palaces here are one after another. She first jumped onto the roof of one of the palaces, ran directly on the roof, then found the room where Zhongli Gong Lanying lived, and then jumped down from the roof.

However, the wind on the roof was a little strong and there was no moonlight, but fortunately there were lights in the palace.

As soon as she jumped down, she was hit by a gust of cold wind, which made her shiver as she walked.

At this time, she met Xu Zhihui.

After Xu Zhihui asked this question, Shangguan Jing seemed to see a shadow in the distance on the roof of one of the palaces. Since there was no light, she couldn't see clearly in the distance, so she was not sure whether it was a human figure, so she didn't pay attention to it.

Shangguan Jing asked in surprise: "Are you looking for the black shadow?"

Xu Zhihui said: "Yes. I just ran out to look for it, but it ran away."

Shangguan Jing was a little confused after hearing this.

As the two were talking, Xu Zhihui saw Han Jinfeng walking towards them from a nearby yard, the same yard she had just been to.

Xu Zhihui saw clearly that the person coming was indeed the teacher. She silently compared the figure of the woman just now and found that she did look like the teacher.

She walked over and asked, "Teacher, where did you go just now?"

Han Jinfeng asked curiously, "I'm in my room, I haven't been anywhere, what's wrong?"

Xu Zhihui said bluntly: "I just saw a woman in the corridor, and I thought it was you, teacher. Her figure looked very much like you, teacher. I called out twice but no one responded. When I wanted to go over, I couldn't see her anymore."

"Really?"

Han Jinfeng was shocked.

"Well, maybe I saw it wrong."

Han Jinfeng thought about it carefully. If Xiaohui was not mistaken, the woman must be her sister, Han Yujiao. Xiaohui didn't know that she had a twin sister, so of course she thought it was herself.

Why is she here too?

What are you here for?
