The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

"Second brother, look..."

Gu Junming turned his head away hesitantly.

Looking at Xiao Jianxin, whose eyes were dazed and a bit of steamed bun residue could be vaguely seen in his slightly opened mouth...

Isn’t this slap in the face coming a little too quickly?

"Well done!"

Xiao Jianxin let out a righteous shout, then quickly stuffed the half-eaten steamed bun into his arms, rushed straight to the wide-open window, and rolled down gracefully.

When Gu Junming went over to check, he could only catch a glimpse of a blurry yet familiar figure.

"Even more impatient than the fourth one."

Gu Junming shook his head helplessly.

Ji Xiaqing became interested and was about to follow, but was stopped by Gu Junming.

"Late at night."

"Kids, go to bed quickly and don't stay up late."

Yu Xiaoyao, who had already stepped out of the doorway, was stunned when she heard this. It seemed that she was not much older than the princess...

"Junior sister, keep an eye on them while I go out and investigate."

Gu Junming took out a thick stack of yellow talismans from his arms and fiddled with them in his hands.

Then he picked out two and gave one to Yu Xiaoyao and one to Ji Xiaqing, and said:

"It helps you sleep. Remember to put it under the bed before you go to bed."

Wen Zixi hesitated for a moment and said:

"Why don't you let Junior Sister go?"

"Big Brother, you've been busy all day. Why don't you stay at the inn and rest for a while?"

"No problem, I have plenty of ways."

Gu Junming didn't dare to jump out of the third-floor window with Xiao Jianxin.

If you are not careful, you may end up paralyzed in bed for half a month.

He stretched lazily and walked towards the door leisurely.

"This princess wants to go too!"

Ji Xiaqing insisted on following despite being dissuaded.

"Your Highness, please don't make things more complicated."

The left front guard finally said something fair.

He advised earnestly, "Senior Gu is very powerful. The monsters can't get close to him. If you expose yourself, I'm afraid he won't have time to take care of you!"

The right front guard didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes when he looked at the left front guard became more and more puzzled.

"Go, go, does this princess need your care?"

"Your Highness is so majestic that he naturally does not need our care."

Gu Junming stood under the door frame, turned around and chuckled, "But Your Highness, your phoenix body is so noble. If it were to be touched by a demon, it would be indecent if the news got out. It would be better for you to wait here for good news. If I capture this demon, I will bring it back intact for Your Highness to see."

Everyone likes to hear good words, and Ji Xiaqing is no exception.

After a fierce struggle in her heart, she finally sighed and took back her steps.

No longer insist on conquering the demon personally.

Perhaps Princess Yongning is not unyielding, but just wants too much opportunity to show herself.

"Brother Gu, you and Hero Xiao must be extra careful!"

Yu Xiaoyao said with concern.

Gu Junming waved without even turning his head, his gesture was very casual.

Even Wen Zixi couldn't help but sigh that when the senior brother gets serious, he actually has a unique style.

Well, it would be nice if it could be maintained forever.

After leaving the inn, Gu Junming did not leave.

Instead, he found a secluded place where he could rest, sat down and waited slowly.

At this moment, his eyes were as deep as ink, his mind was as clear as a mirror, and he said calmly: "Is this really the case..."

Slowly, the evil wind in the distance became more and more fierce, as if something was about to be born.

Xiao Jianxin has great cultivation, but knows very little about ghosts.

He could only rely on the slight feeling in his heart and wander around Pinglan Villa like a headless fly.

He pricked up his ears, keenly aware of the slightest movement around him, and at the same time, he emptied his mind.

He entered a brief state of unity between man and nature, where even the dust particles dancing on the ground could not escape his eyes.

In the inn, Ji Xiaqing returned to his top-class room in a depressed mood.

Lying on the bed like a salted fish.

Compared to Bai Linglong who felt uncomfortable sleeping on her stomach on Zizhu Peak, Ji Xiaqing could sleep upright, sideways, or even with her butt sticking up...

There are no problems at all!

"So boring..."

Ji Xiaqing obediently stuffed the yellow talisman paper Gu Junming gave her under her pillow.

Then he took off his boots, sat cross-legged, and began to recite the "simple" mental formula taught by Xiao Jianxin.

Even without the talisman paper, Ji Xiaqing could sleep soundly, but it was well-intentioned after all, and he was fortunate to have the help of an expert, so he should not think it was unnecessary.

Ji Xiaqing herself also felt it was magical.

Ever since she learned the mantra taught to her by Xiao Jianxin, her mind has been able to reach a state of clarity without any distractions before going to sleep every night.

Wake up refreshed!

Moreover, Ji Xiaqing could feel that some subtle changes seemed to have occurred in his body.

This feeling is indescribable.

But it is obvious that her appetite has increased compared to usual, and has doubled!

"Forget it." Ji Xiaqing closed his eyes and prepared to practice martial arts, muttering to himself, "Wait until I become the undisputed number one martial artist in the Five Realms. Then I'll see who dares to look down on me as a burden!"

As time passes bit by bit.

A thick dark cloud silently swallowed up the last ray of sunlight in the sky.

The moon was also trapped behind thick clouds and lost its former brilliance.

The surroundings were plunged into darkness, even the starlight disappeared.

The bright moon in the sky is silent.

The things on the ground are beginning to shine.

Ji Xiaqing emanated strands of bright and soft light, which made her snow-white skin look like jade.

The faint light illuminates a small area around.

The shadow of a full moon appeared faintly behind Ji Xiaqing, and the blood in his body, which had been dry and dormant for a long time, seemed to be reborn, slowly flowing through the major meridians and warming his body.

But she didn't notice it at all and was completely immersed in it.

Another moment passed.

A thick fog suddenly rose at the end of the street.

Gu Junming seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes, "Here it comes!"

Just at this moment, Xiao Jianxin also discovered the abnormality and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Ji Xiaqing still maintains the state of practicing martial arts.

Without noticing, a stealthy figure quietly leaped in at the window.

The man was wearing a black scarf and a night-attack outfit, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

As the clouds dispersed, the moonlight poured out, and a sharp dagger reflected a sharp cold light.

Slowly approaching Ji Xiaqing...

rub--

Suddenly, a flash of sword light appeared, the assassin's pupils dilated, and his whole body trembled. On his shoulder, about an inch away, there was a three-foot green sword.

Xiao Jianxin gestured to the door with his eyes. The assassin swallowed nervously and nodded vigorously.

squeak...

Xiao Jianxin opened the door deftly and pushed the assassin out.

Outside the door, Wen Zixi had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing this, he stepped forward and closed the door.

At this time, the surroundings returned to peace again, as if nothing had happened.

"No, don't kill me. I'm just following orders and trying to make a living."
