Each world be

"what?"

Wei Hu was shocked. He actually managed to withstand the palm strike that had been taken with all his internal strength, and he was still unharmed.

As everyone was surprised, Gu Xiao stood up slowly with the help of the sword's force. His inky black hair stuck to his cold face and his eyes were hot and crazy.

Just like that night, he wielded the ancient black sword in his hand deftly in intricate ways.

Then he shouted loudly, and the sharp sword intent came towards him!

The world seemed to have stopped.

In a second, everyone around suddenly fell to the ground.

Only Wei Hu stood upright in the rain. Suddenly, his pupils dilated and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He covered his heart tightly and looked at the man in the rain in disbelief.

"You are lucky today, just wait and see!" After Wei Hu said these harsh words, he suddenly threw out a hidden weapon from his hand.

A slight and swift sound came from far away and got closer. Gu Xiao tilted his head to avoid it, and the dart pierced into the tree trunk behind him.

When I looked up, Wei Hu had disappeared.

thump--

Gu Xiao knelt on one knee on the ground, as if he had used up all his strength.

He slowly took out something from his arms. It was the folded yellow cloth. With trembling fingers, he opened the cloth one by one. The herbs with fluorescent green light were intact.

His tense expression suddenly relaxed, a sincere smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his cold eyes were now extremely tender.

A Qing, wait for me.

On the other side, Yin Mansion.

A stern-looking man in black knelt on one knee and said, "Master, there is indeed a cave entrance on the back of Li Nan Mountain, but it is located in a very remote place and there are many traps inside the cave."

Shen Yan lowered his eyebrows and leisurely played with the rabbit in his hand. Hearing the words of the man in black, he said nonchalantly: "Shen Yi, you have been very attentive these days. You have raised this rabbit fat."

"Please forgive me, Master." Shen Yi's eyes were still cold and calm.

"It's a pity that its owner is so indifferent to it. He hasn't even looked at it since it came here."

With a hint of meaning, Shen Yan raised his eyes and looked at the man in black kneeling on the ground.

Shen Yi remained silent.

Shen Yan looked away in boredom and said calmly, "I will come in person tomorrow. You should order people to guard the cave entrance first. No one is allowed to approach without my order."

"As you command!" Seeing that Shen Yan had nothing else to give orders, Shen Yi stepped out.

The entrance to the cave on Mount Li'nan was the information he obtained after threatening Governor Yin. Governor Yin said that the secret book was hidden in this cave.

I just don’t know if it’s true, I need to explore it more carefully tomorrow.

Shen Yan sat on the soft chair, his almond-shaped eyes looking at the moving rabbit in his arms indifferently.

It was the one that Shi Qing had held before, and it had been taken care of by Shen Yi during this period.

Shen Yan calmly held down the rabbit that was trying to escape from his clutches and smiled indifferently.

After being outside for so long, the originally well-behaved rabbit has become wild.

Since you're restless outside, just go back.

The heavy rain that lasted all night finally stopped quietly the next morning.

When Shi Qing woke up, he found that a cage had been placed next to the window at some point. It was the little white rabbit that he hadn't seen for a long time.

I walked closer with curiosity and saw that the originally small one had become white and plump.

Shi Qing chuckled.

Shen Yi is such an amazing person, he actually raised Xiaobai to be so plump and chubby.

Speaking of which, this rabbit was given to the original owner by Shen Yi.

After teasing it gently for a while, Shi Qing washed up and went out.

The rain outside the window dripped along the eaves from time to time. She thought of Gu Xiao who had not returned home all night, and she didn't know how he was doing.

After breakfast, Shi Qing found out that Shen Yan had gone out early in the morning.

Thinking back to the conversation between him and the prefect that he saw last night, the sword manual mentioned was exactly what Shen Yan was looking for.

I just don’t know whether Governor Yin said it in the end.

But then she thought about the information she got from Yin Xinyue.

Fifteen years ago, Xiangzhuyuan.

The timing was quite coincidental, maybe she could go there in advance and try it out.

The wound has started to scab over the past two days. Although it still hurts a little when touched, it does not affect movement.

After thinking for a moment, she began to walk around the house.

When I passed by Governor Yin's courtyard from a distance, I saw that the door was closed.

There were two guards guarding outside the house, probably Shen Yan's men.

Suddenly, a girl in a light green dress came out of the prefect's room. It turned out to be Yin Xinyue.

She looked very sad, and her maid Chunxiang said something to her, and then the two of them left.

Shi Qing's eyebrows moved slightly and he sighed in his heart.

Then, Shi Qing walked around the mansion, seemingly strolling leisurely but actually looking around secretly.

It is worthy of being the governor's residence of Lizhou City, with pavilions, terraces, gardens and rockery.

There are so many courtyards and winding corridors and paths that I walked for most of the morning but couldn't find a place called Xiangzhuyuan.

After some exploration, I felt helpless and had to return the same way I came, fearing that people would become suspicious.

As soon as she returned to the yard, she saw her maid Chunxiang waiting for her outside with an anxious look on her face.

"Chunxiang? Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Shi Qing asked first.

Seeing Shi Qing coming back from outside, Chunxiang was a little confused, but she said respectfully: "Miss Lin, my lady invites you to her courtyard. Master Gu is also here."

"Really?" Shi Qing asked in surprise, with a bright smile on her face.

Chunxiang remembered that the young lady had a serious face when she called her over, so she urged, "Miss Lin, please go quickly. The young lady and the others have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Okay, I'll leave now."

Shi Qing smiled faintly, but also noticed Chunxiang's tone.

However, why is Gu Xiao at Yin Xinyue's place?

On the other side, deep behind the Linan Mountain in the city.

"One team follows me in, and the rest of the team stays outside. Report any abnormalities immediately."

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Shen Yan led a team of men in black into the cave.

There was moss all over the ground and jagged rocks all around. Several men in black were leading the way with torches in hand.

"Crash-"

Suddenly, an unidentified flying object flew out from the depths of the darkness and flew overhead. Everyone was startled and terrified.

A man in black beside Shen Yan raised a torch and shone it over. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief because it turned out to be a bat.

It was amazing that the old fox, Governor Yin, could find such a remote and deep cave.

Full of confusion, he soon arrived at Yin Xinyue's room.

Chunxiang said outside the door: "Miss, Miss Lin is here."

The door was opened from the inside.

Yin Xinyue's pretty face was expressionless. She first ordered, "Chunxiang, you stay outside and tell me immediately if anyone approaches."

Then, she glanced at the smiling Shi Qing calmly, her expression complicated: "Come in."

Shi Qing still maintained a faint smile on his face and calmly stepped over the threshold, but his heart sank.

Yin Xinyue had always been gentle and close to her, and always affectionately called her "Sister Lin Qing".

This time, he was uncharacteristically cold and indifferent. He must have known something.
