Chapter 219: Return from the Dream (56)

"I know." Nanzhi said gently, "In fact, Xiao Zhuo has already recognized Zhao Yuanzhou."

"Not really." Zhuo Yichen retorted subconsciously, then realized that his reaction was a little wrong. He lowered his voice: "I just think that I shouldn't kill him at this time."

night.

When Nanzhi was looking for information about the Jianmu sacred tree with Wen Xiao, Bai Jiu came over with a bowl of medicine.

"Sister Shen, take your medicine." He put the medicine on the table.

Nanzhi took the books off the shelf and walked towards Baijiu: "Thank you, Xiaojiu."

Ever since the Cheng Huang incident, Bai Jiu has been taking care of her body. Although the divine blood in her body cannot be regenerated, these medicines can make her feel a lot better.

"You're welcome." Bai Jiu smiled embarrassedly.

Then he said, "I want to go back to Jixin Hall."

"Go back?" Wen Xiao, who was holding a bamboo slip, turned around in surprise and looked at Bai Jiu who looked shy.

"Yeah." Bai Jiu nodded, "I've been away from Jixin Hall for so long, I have to go back and take a look."

Looking at the medicine bowl in front of him, Nanzhi warned Bai Jiu: "The Chongwu Camp is now targeting the Demon Hunting Division. You must go back to Jixin Hall alone and be careful."

"Don't worry, Sister Shen, I will." Bai Jiu smiled, his heart full of guilt.

If Sister Shen didn't care about him, he wouldn't feel so guilty.

But after being with everyone for so long, if everyone knew that he was an undercover sent by Chongwu Camp, I wonder how everyone would look at him with blame and anger.

Sister Shen's father was framed by Chongwu Camp and lost his life. She hated Chongwu Camp so much. If she knew that he was from Chongwu Camp, she would definitely hate him to death, right?

And Xiao Zhuo Ge, I wonder how disappointed he will be.

Bai Jiu also looked at the medicine bowl in front of Nanzhi. This was the last time he would make medicine for Sister Shen, but he left behind all his prescriptions for treating illnesses and injuries. It was also the last thing he could do for everyone in the Demon Hunting Bureau.

Now he has to return to Chongwu Camp to help his master take away the inner elixir of the big demon.

"Sister Shen, please drink the medicine quickly. It will lose its effectiveness if it gets cold." Bai Jiu reminded.

Nanzhi nodded, picked up the medicine bowl, and drank the medicine while it was hot.

During the time she took the medicine, she went from initially disliking the bitterness to now being able to fully adapt to it.

It only took a few months for her to go from being alone after losing her father, to joining the Monster Hunting Division and having a fulfilling time investigating cases, with a group of people gathered together and laughing, to now being surrounded by people who are full of pain and she is helpless to help them.

Putting down the medicine bowl, she looked at the bright moon outside the window.

Xiao Zhuo was in torment, Sister Wen Xiao was filled with pain, Sister Pei and Zhao Yuanzhou entered Chongwu Camp alone and took the risk, and Ying Lei took on the responsibility of the mountain god.

And Bai Jiu... She looked at the back of the young man who was leaving with the medicine bowl. He was only thirteen years old, an age when other children were still acting coquettishly in their parents' arms, but he had already become an independent doctor. He also changed from the timid and lively appearance when they first met to a calm and responsible person.

"What are you thinking about?" Wen Xiao walked over and sat down next to Nanzhi.

Nanzhi withdrew her gaze from Bai Jiu and said, "I don't know what to do."

What can we do to reduce the pain in everyone’s hearts?

Feeling distressed by Yu Nanzhi's answer, Wen Xiao hugged her and said, "You've done enough."

She shouldn't have been involved in this and should have lived an ordinary life.

But because he joined the Demon Hunting Bureau and had divine blood in his body, he took the initiative to assume the responsibility of saving people. Even when his body was so weak, he was still thinking about what to do to make them less painful.

Isn't it heartbreaking?

Isn't this also her pain?

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Wen Xiao said, "We will not compromise, we will not compromise with fate. We will definitely find a way to repair the Jianmu sacred tree, and we will definitely repair the Bai Ze Order and slow down the collapse of the Great Wilderness!"

"Yeah." Nanzhi picked up the bamboo slips on the table. "After hearing what Sister Wenxiao said, I feel full of energy now."

"Well, do you want to have a midnight snack?" Zhuo Yichen walked in carrying a lunch box.

"What is it?" Nanzhi asked expectantly.

Putting down the food box, Zhuo Yichen took out several plates of exquisitely crafted dim sum and three bowls of pear soup: "Nanxiangmen dim sum, and the snow pear soup I made."

Nanzhi likes to eat the dim sum from Nanxiangmen the most, but this time her first reaction after eating the dim sum was that it was not as delicious as the ones made by Yinglei.

Zhuo Yichen made the snow pear soup himself. The pear flesh was delicate and melted in the mouth. The pear soup was sweet and clear, which neutralized the greasy taste of the snacks.

After having a midnight snack, the three of them searched through ancient books all night to find a way to repair the Jianmu sacred tree.

late at night.

An attendant came hurriedly to report that the prime minister had been murdered, and the murderer turned out to be Wen Xiao.

The Prime Minister's guards witnessed this incident with their own eyes. Now the Chongwu Camp has arrived at the gate of the Monster Hunting Division and has issued an order to capture Wen Xiao.

The Prime Minister was murdered, and the only support of the Demon Hunting Bureau disappeared. To make matters worse, the murderer seen by the followers was Wen Xiao.

Arguing with the Chongwu Camp would be courting death. Helplessly, Wen Xiao could only leave with Situ Ming under the cover of night to temporarily avoid the Chongwu Camp's attack.

As soon as Wen Xiao left, the Demon Hunting Division was searched by the Chongwu Camp.

Because they were following the king's orders, no one in the Demon Hunting Bureau was allowed to resist.

When the guards of Chongwu Camp broke into the scroll repository and searched whether there was Wen Xiao there, Zhen Mei walked up to Nanzhi, who was holding several bamboo slips containing records about the Jianmu sacred tree.

He lowered his eyes to look at the bamboo scrolls in Nanzhi's arms and extended his hand towards her: "Miss Shen, please hand over these bamboo scrolls."

He said please, but his attitude was very strong.

Nanzhi hugged the bamboo slips tightly and retorted coldly, "The Chongwu Battalion has been ordered to search the Monster Hunting Division for any trace of Wen Xiao. King Xiang did not ask you to steal the books from the Monster Hunting Division."

She hasn't read the bamboo slips about the Jianmu sacred tree yet. Maybe the clues are in them, so she naturally can't give them to Zhen Mei!

Zhen Mei smiled nonchalantly, "My Chongwu Battalion has been ordered to investigate the Prime Minister's murder, so naturally, we must not miss any small clues. These scrolls could be evidence of Wen Xiao's crime, so they naturally need to be reviewed."

Nanzhi looked at him, and the disgust and coldness in her eyes became even stronger.

Seeing that Nanzhi was not cooperating, Zhen Mei reached out for the bamboo slips in her arms.

When Zhen Mei stretched out his hand halfway, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed it, and a strong force stopped his movement.

A gloomy look appeared in Zhen Mei's eyes as she looked at Pei Siheng, a young man dressed in tights and a cloak, who suddenly appeared beside her and looked like an exotic teenager.

"Aheng?" Nanzhi was surprised.

"Don't be afraid." Pei Siheng looked at Nanzhi: "I won't let him hurt you."

"It's you? Pei Siheng." Zhen Mei lowered her voice.

The people from Chongwu Camp who were searching around the Scroll Collection Hall stopped because of Pei Siheng's sudden appearance, and all drew their swords and stood ready for battle!

"And me!" Ying Lei, who came at full speed to help Ying Zhao complete the Kunlun formation, strode to Nanzhi's side, stood in front of her and faced Zhen Mei.

Zhen Mei scoffed as she glanced at Ying Lei and Pei Siheng before giving a loud order: "Shen Nanzhi is harboring the monster who committed murder three months ago. Capture her and bring her back to Chongwu Camp for trial!"

"Who dares!" Ying Lei immediately drew his sword!

"Lord Zhen Mei." Zhuo Yichen walked slowly into the manuscript library. When Zhen Mei turned around and looked at him, he clasped his hands together and closed the door of the manuscript library.

The muffled sound of the door closing made everyone's heart hang in the air!

Zhuo Yichen, with an imposing bearing and a chilling aura between his brows, drew out his Cloud Light Sword. "Pei Siheng's case has already been overturned. The culprit is Cheng Huang, and he is the victim."

"Now, Master Zhen Mei is arresting people from my Monster Hunting Division with such a ridiculous reason. Is he taking advantage of the fact that my Monster Hunting Division is empty?"

"I give you two choices: get out, or never get out again."
