When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

If Xiao Yihuo had said this to him, Lin Lezhi might not think anything of it. After all, he was the male protagonist of his own novel, and he could more or less figure out Xiao Yihuo's personality.

He always has a cold face and looks like he wants to keep strangers away. Not only is his personality a bit twisted, but he is also very sharp-tongued.

However, this is just the surface that Xiao Yihuo shows in front of everyone. In fact, in his heart he still longs for warmth and care from others.

Therefore, after Xiao Yihuo's mother passed away, Nan Rongyi, who appeared in his life and brought him warmth, became a ray of light in his life.

Nan Rongyi is the person he cherishes most, and also the only softness in him.

After Nan Rongyi left, the only tenderness in his heart was no longer there, and it turned into hatred towards Xiao Jingzheng, and he secretly planned to overthrow the throne.

Xiao Yihuo really hated Xiao Jingzheng. He hated him for forcing Nan Rongyi to death in order to consolidate his position and for his own hegemony.

but……

The day when Xiao got his revenge and sat on the throne.

He just found out.

The person he hated the most in his heart was not Xiao Jingzheng, but...

Yourself.

What killed Nan Rongyi was his own weakness and incompetence.

If he could realize this earlier and make himself strong enough to protect Nan Rongyi, then... Nan Rongyi would not have died.

Although Lin Lezhi was not completely sure that he could understand Xiao Yihuo's inner thoughts, he could still get a rough idea.

Can……

Qingchuan is always calm and gentle to others.

Hearing these words come out of his mouth, Lin Lezhi couldn't help but ponder the seriousness of the situation, because he stood there in a daze.

Seeing Lin Lezhi standing there in a daze, Guan Ziheng looked back and forth between Lin Lezhi and Qingchuan who was walking away, then walked forward slowly, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Lin Lezhi's eyes, and asked with a little confusion and concern: "Lezhi, are you okay? What happened to you just now...?"

When Guan Ziheng was waving in front of him, Lin Lezhi had come back to his senses. He looked at Guan Ziheng and pretended to be relaxed, saying, "It's okay. He left something with me before, and came to me to get it."

"Oh... so..."

"Yes, that's it." Lin Lezhi didn't give Guan Ziheng any more time to think about it. He pushed Guan Ziheng towards the team and said as he pushed, "We'll gather soon. Let's go."

Qingchuan put the small wooden box into his sleeve and walked towards the woods. When he was halfway there, he happened to see Xiao Yihuo and Liu Yunhe walking back.

Seeing Qingchuan's anxious face, Liu Yunhe said, "Brother Qingchuan, do you want to pee too?"

Qingchuan did not respond to Liu Yunhe. He took a few quick steps forward, grabbed Xiao Yihuo's arm, and walked towards a secluded place.

Without waiting for Xiao Yihuo to speak, Qingchuan took Xiao Yihuo's pulse first.

Throughout the whole process, his expression was very solemn.

Seeing Qingchuan in such a hurry, Liu Yunhe's heart was also hanging. He walked over and asked worriedly: "Brother Qingchuan, what happened?"

Xiao Yihuo took a deep breath and said slowly: "You know."

Xiao Yihuo's calm tone did not calm Qingchuan down, but made him even angrier.

Qingchuan came without explaining, and Xiao Yihuo now said he knew, which made Liu Yunhe even more confused. But in such a heavy atmosphere, Liu Yunhe did not dare to speak, and could only watch silently from the side.

"If I hadn't heard the clue in your words, how long would you have kept it a secret from us?"

"I..." Looking at the angry Qingchuan, Xiao Yihuo explained with an apologetic look: "The situation last night was critical, and I had no choice but to do it. I thought I could control it."

"You can control it." Qingchuan was a little excited, so he spoke in a higher voice: "We agreed before we came here that you must take the medicine on time and not use your internal energy at will. What if you can't control it? What should Yun He and I do!"

After hearing this, Liu Yunhe finally realized why Qingchuan was so emotional. He turned to look at the silent Xiao Yihuo and also panicked.

Seeing this, Xiao Yihuo's eyes wavered slightly.

Because he was afraid that Qingchuan would worry about him, Xiao Yihuo asked Lin Lezhi to help keep it a secret and not tell Qingchuan that he had been poisoned.

But Qingchuan was very smart. Just from the few words Lin Lezhi said, he could tell that he had used his internal force last night.

If he had not used his internal energy to drive away the snake last night, he would not have been unable to suppress the poison in his body while practicing Qinggong and would not have fallen down halfway with Lin Lezhi.

"In the past, I also relied on internal strength to suppress it. The medicine is not easy to come by. I..."

With only the bone lotus found in the basement, Qingchuan made these only three pills, which had to be taken once every month.

Judging from the time, there should be no pills left in the box.

but……

Xiao Yihuo has not taken the medicine and has been relying on his internal strength to suppress the poison in his body and prevent it from spreading.

It wasn't until last night that I had no choice but to do it for the first time.

Xiao Yihuo knew that he was wrong, so he stopped trying to defend himself. He said with guilt in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I won't do it again next time."

When Qingchuan heard Xiao Yihuo say sorry, even though he was extremely angry, he couldn't vent it at this moment.

What's more, he was just anxious in the first place and was not really angry with Xiao Yihuo.

"Your business is no longer just yours." Qingchuan's voice was a little bit breathy due to anger, and a little bit unstable due to worry, and he warned: "Don't do it again next time."

"Ah."

Xiao Yihuo nodded and promised Qingchuan seriously.

When Xiao Yihuo and his three companions came back from the woods, Lin Lezhi felt a little at a loss. In order to avoid embarrassment, Lin Lezhi looked around.

After all, after hearing what Qingchuan said, Lin Lezhi couldn't just pretend that nothing had happened.

Moreover, after they came back together, Lin Lezhi clearly felt that the atmosphere between them was a little heavy, and he must have said something.

Xiao Yihuo glanced at Lin Lezhi, his eyes darkened, and then he looked away.

After the team was gathered, they continued to move forward. Because the terrain of the island was very complicated, they finally arrived in front of the earth temple until the sun set and the fog climbed up again.

When they were near the earthen temple, the soldier who was walking ahead with a torch suddenly stopped and shouted, "General, there seems to be someone ahead."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped in their tracks. Indeed, a dark black figure could be vaguely seen in the fog.

"Who's in front?"

The person walking in front shouted loudly, but the figure standing in front did not respond or even move.

The soldiers turned around and looked at Cheng Su. At Cheng Su's signal, two soldiers, holding knives and torches, slowly approached the direction of the human figure.

After approaching the human figure and seeing clearly what it was, the two men screamed in fear and barely managed to stand still.

The human figure in the mist was indeed a person, and this person was none other than Chang Feizhang, who had disappeared for a long time.

He stood on the ground, no longer breathing.
