Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

"Where are you going?" Zhu Yan asked.

"Go check some things." Li Lun stopped and looked back, but not completely.

Finally, he couldn't help himself and told Zhu Yan, "Take good care of her."

Li Lun's back was tall, but he exuded a lonely air. He had a lot to say, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them.

Shen Nanzhi said that she and the members of the demon-hunting team relied on each other and walked towards each other.

He wanted to walk to Shen Nanzhi's side. Would Shen Nanzhi be willing to walk towards him?

The door of the Demon Hunting Bureau was closed, blocking out Li Lun's lonely figure.

Holding Nanzhi in his arms, Zhu Yan was about to take her to find other people when the door behind them was broken open by the Yun Guang Sword. Zhuo Yichen, Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing, who had escaped from Ao Yin, rushed over.

"Zhao Yuanzhou!"

Zhuo Yichen ran to Zhu Yan's side. When he saw Nanzhi in his arms, he raised his hand, wanting to touch Nanzhi but didn't dare. His face was full of heartache: "What happened?"

Why does Nanzhi look even weaker than before? !

She grabbed Zhu Yan's hand and stopped him from saying anything. Nanzhi didn't have the strength to speak now. She didn't want Xiao Zhuo and the others to misunderstand Li Lun and cause more trouble just because of two words before she explained.

She took out the Yao water that had been poured into the bottle and handed it to Wen Xiao: "Yao water."

Wen Xiao took it and looked at Nanzhi's re-bandaged hand. She frowned and asked, "Is this the price you paid for Yaoshui?"

"No." Zhu Yan explained on behalf of Nanzhi, who was unable to speak, "Li Lun gave Nanzhi a choice, to take Yaoshui or leave it, and he didn't ask Nanzhi to pay anything."

He could see it from Li Lun's distressed and guilty look.

Wen Xiao put away the Yaoshui.

Zhuo Yichen carried Bai Jiu on his back.

Pei Sijing said, "Next is the sacred tree."

"There is no sacred tree anymore." Zhu Yan said.

Facing the shocked looks of the crowd, he explained, "The Bai Ze Order has been destroyed. The Jianmu sacred tree is now just a dry trunk, without vitality or divine power. Even if it is taken down, it cannot be used to repair the Bai Ze Order."

Wen Xiao asked: "What should we do then?"

"Let's go back to Kunlun first," Zhu Yan said, holding Nanzhi horizontally in his arms. "Perhaps the mountain god Ying Zhao can find a solution."

……

At the place where Li Lun was born, Ao Yin saluted Li Lun and said, "Sir, they have already left."

Sitting where Nanzhi once sat, Li Lun, dressed in complicated black clothes, had a gloomy expression in the dark cave.

Seeing that Li Lun didn't say anything, Ao Yin asked, "What should we do next?"

"Before, I planned to transfer the inner elixir into Bai Jiu's body and occupy his body to live." Li Lun said gloomily: "Now, let the Chongwu Camp think that I have transferred the inner elixir into Bai Jiu's body."

"Your Excellency is suspicious..."

Li Lun sat back on the stone platform and said, "That old fellow has been cooperating with me. I'm a little curious about his purpose now."

"I also want to know what he is hiding from me. Next, I will uncover all his secrets."

Now that he has escaped the burning of the Eternal Wood and his true body has been preserved, and only Yaoshui is unable to repair Bai Ze Ling without the sacred tree, he has no intention of playing with the demon-hunting team anymore.

He wanted to reinvestigate the mass killing of demons eight years ago.

The first step in the investigation is to find out the purpose of Chongwu Camp wanting Zhu Yan's inner elixir and the secret they are hiding from him.

It's time for that old man wearing a mask to take off the mask and show his true face.

……

Kunlun, mountain temple.

The woman lying on the bed had her brows furrowed and her eyelashes trembling, as fragile as the fluttering wings of a butterfly.

"Why does it have to be you?"

"Is there no other way?"

"You accept your fate, Yinglong accepts his fate, but I don't want to accept my fate."

Nanzhi heard someone talking in her head again. This time the voice was not one of compassion and helplessness, but one of opposition, misunderstanding and disapproval.

She wanted to ask who he was, but no sound came out.

While struggling, Nanzhi felt her hand being wrapped in a dry warmth. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Zhuo Yichen standing by her bed, holding her hand.

"Nanzhi, you're awake!"

Seeing her wake up, Zhuo Yichen was very happy. He helped her up, put a pillow behind her back, and asked her: "You didn't sleep well, did you have a nightmare?"

Nanzhi felt dizzy: "I heard someone talking to me, but I don't know what he meant."

Who was talking to her this time?

Yinglong's name appeared in the last conversation, and Bingyi's name appeared in this conversation.

So can we infer that the two people talking to her were these two?

"Nanzhi! You're awake!" Ying Lei, who pushed the door open with a lunch box in his hand, walked to the bedside and looked at Nanzhi worriedly: "How do you feel now?"

Nanzhi smiled at Yinglei and said, "I'm much better now."

Zhuo Yichen stood up and gave his seat to Yinglei, who was delivering food to Nanzhi.

"Have something to eat." Ying Lei opened the lunch box and handed a bowl of meat porridge to Nan Zhi. "This is the meat porridge I've been cooking on the fire. Try it."

Seeing Nanzhi take it, he warned: "Be careful, it's hot, or I'll hold it for you."

Yinglei held the bowl, and Nanzhi used a spoon to scoop a spoonful of the porridge that was cooked until it was soft and glutinous with minced meat.

The meat porridge tastes delicious without any fishy smell.

Seeing Yinglei waiting for his comments, Nanzhi gave him a thumbs up: "This is the most delicious meat porridge I have ever eaten!"

Ying Lei smiled embarrassedly: "Then eat more, there is still a lot in the casserole!"

He likes to watch Nanzhi eat, and he feels happy when he sees Nanzhi eating.

Especially now, Nanzhi needs more nourishment!

Having just woken up, Nanzhi didn't dare eat too much. After eating until he was about 50% full, he put down the spoon.

Upon hearing the news that she had woken up, all the members of the demon-hunting team, except Bai Jiu, gathered in her room. Wen Xiao sat where Ying Lei had sat before, and Pei Sijing sat on the other side of the bed.

The others sat on stools.

Seeing Nanzhi put down the bowl of porridge in her hand, Wen Xiao asked her gently: "Nanzhi, what exactly happened to you in Lilun's birthplace?"

Nanzhi told what happened in Lilun's birthplace.

After she finished speaking, she looked at everyone and said, "Li Lun isn't completely evil. He just sees the evil side of people and thinks everyone is evil. From his perspective, it's really hard to have a good impression of others."

"Sealed in his birthplace by his good friend Zhao Yuanzhou and the former White Ze Goddess, he faces loneliness every day and is jealous of everyone who is close to Zhao Yuanzhou."

"We and he just have different positions."

long silence.

Zhuo Yichen asked: "What is he going to do now?"

Nanzhi relieved him of the pain of being burned by the Eternal Wood. If he still went against the Demon Hunting Bureau, it would probably be a big trouble.

Nanzhi shook her head: "I don't know either."

"He won't bother us anymore." Zhu Yan said suddenly.

Under everyone's gaze, he explained, "Li Lun has always wanted to protect the Great Wilderness, but he acted too radically. From what I know about him, he will now re-investigate what happened eight years ago."

"And I should also reinvestigate the culprit who committed the evil deed of imprisoning the demon beast eight years ago."

On the other side, Bai Jiu met Wen Zongyu outside Kunlun Mountain under the pretext of boiling medicine.
