Si Chen didn't notice this and just murmured:

"You look so much like her, but...but I, I lost her."

As he spoke, he lowered his head, his arched brows knitted tightly together, and his golden snake eyes were like stagnant water in a cold pond, looking very sad.

Hanami Baimi seems to be very sad and pitiful.

He stopped walking backwards and couldn't help but comfort her: "Hey, uncle, what's so sad about this? Can't you just go find her and bring her back?"

"She left a long time ago, I can't find her..."

Si Chen's dark, snake-like eyes stared straight at Hua Jianbai, revealing a hint of invisible fanaticism and gloom:

"But why, you look so similar! Unless... unless..."

Si Chen seemed to be about to say something but stopped himself. He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and pulled it upwards, only to see a small scar at the elbow joint.

"I see."

Hua Jianbai was frightened by his action, "What do you mean?"

"Can you...can you please call me daddy?"

"I call you uncle! How can you take advantage of others by taking advantage of them?"

Si Chen frowned and said, "That's not right. You're a girl, why is your voice so low?"

girl?

Hua Jianbai realized that he was wearing peony-colored women's clothing, and the corners of his mouth twitched:

"Ahaha, well, just think of it as me catching a cold."

"Oh, it's boring. Luo Mansion is really boring."

Si Chen withdrew his gaze, as if thinking about something, "Just now, a little fish seemed to be looking for you."

"What dried fish?"

"He said his name was Zeng Nian. Do you know him?"

Hua Jianbai was stunned for a moment, and Zeng Nian...

"What does he look like?"

Si Chen did not respond, but just shook his head and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Wait a minute!"

Hanamibaijian saw that this guy came and went without a trace, and he should have asked him to take him out just now, why was he so slow?

He slapped his head, feeling dejected. At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the house, and a maid walked into the house.

She was carrying some meat soup and side dishes. Hua Jianbai had no idea what was going on outside, but when his eyes fell on her boots, he saw some burnt grass on them.

"Did something happen outside just now?"

"An evil cultivator is causing trouble..."

The maid only said half of the sentence and did not answer no matter how much she asked.

Hua Jianbai knew that these people were doing it on purpose, as if there was some rule that they would never answer more than one question when answering his questions.

Hua Jianbai thought in his heart, and stared blankly at the tree branches outside the house. The apples on the branches were very bright.

It was a fruitful autumn day, the sky, lightly clouded, like a clear lake. Yellow leaves drifted in the breeze, fluttering to the ground, only to be covered by the sand.

The cloud-like hem of the clothes gently swept across the dead leaves, and the "rustling" sound was subtle and very beautiful.

Ning Xiu walked solemnly on the sand. A breeze blew past, lifting the hair on his forehead. The mask blended perfectly with him, making him look even more aloof and cold, as if he was out of touch with the world.

He walked away from Luo Mansion and arrived at the remote outskirts of the city. There was a constant stream of people entering and leaving the city at the city gate, and there were many carriages and horses. It was very bustling.

One wall stood out: it was where notices were posted. The yellowed paper held various words, some official decrees, some missing persons notices, and even promotional advertisements.

Ning Xiusu saw his own portrait again, and his eyes involuntarily fell on the wanted poster. It was then that he suddenly noticed that SOS was painted in very light ink on the lower right corner of the portrait...

A distress signal?

I didn't pay much attention when I saw it for the first time, but it seemed like there was something written on it.

He was stunned for a moment, then leaned over to take a closer look, and found that there was actually a series of questions and answers to fill in the blanks.

"The King of Heaven and Earth Tiger——() stewed mushrooms?"

"Tango tango, tango tango, walk () and () look back?"

……

What’s going on? Is there a time traveler in Qi’an?

Ning Xiusu was completely bewildered and couldn't figure it out.

"Zeng Xiaoyugan, it turns out you're a wanted criminal. No wonder you're so secretive."

Si Chen appeared like a ghost, with his arms folded across his chest. He licked the fangs lightly with the tip of his red tongue and glared at him sideways with a cold look.

Ning Xiusu had already noticed that he had been following her, so he wasn't surprised at all.

He said calmly: "Have you been in Luo Mansion all this time?"

"Yes."

He turned around and looked at him: "It seems that you can enter that magic circle?"

Si Chen uttered a dull "snort" from his nose, with a deep chill and disdain.

"That's just a Heavenly Star Array. The entire Luo Mansion is built on the foundation of the array, and the small pivot array outside the bride's room is the eye of the array..."

As he spoke, he narrowed his golden snake eyes slightly, took out a bead-like thing from his arms and threw it at him.

When Ning Xiusu took it, he smelled a hint of the scent of golden fragrant jade and was stunned.

"What's this……"

Si Chen didn't answer, but said: "This thing can temporarily interfere with the eye position of the formation."

Ning Xiusu really didn't know what this thing was. He found that this small bead was the size of a thumb and reflected dazzling light under the sunlight.

"My Canglin clan lives overseas, and this item is not easy to find. I'll give it to you."

Ning Xiusu thought that he would be able to use it next time he went to Luo Mansion.

He thanked him and accepted it sincerely. Then he heard Si Chen say:

"The eye of the Heavenly Star Array may seem like a weak spot, but it can affect the entire structure. The Luo family placed the eye on the bride. Do you know why?"

His voice was low and a little cold, and he always spit out his red tongue while speaking.

Ning Xiusu couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard him say, "Are you saying that the Luo Mansion set up this pivot formation intentionally?"

"Of course, the Luo Mansion is waiting for the opportunity this time, hoping to lure those who covet the Dragon Bone Seal into their trap."

"Do you know the Dragon Bone Seal?"

"As I said, I know a lot about the affairs of the world."

Si Chen tilted his head as he spoke, with the corners of his mouth raised in a charming smile.

"But Xiao Yugan, you ran into the mansion in broad daylight and caused such a scene. Was it because of the Dragon Bone Seal?"

"No."

"Oh, so you're really interested in someone else's bride?"

"..."

Ning Xiusu thought about the strangeness of the wanted poster and didn't want to chat with him, so he walked forward.

Si Chen seemed to find it very interesting and suddenly walked around him.

"It seems that you know the bride. Why don't you tell me her name?"

Ning Xiusu paused, "What do you want to do by asking so many questions?"

"I don't do anything, I'm just bored..."

Ning Xiusu did not respond, but just kept walking towards the royal city.

But this dragon is more annoying than a dog-skin plaster.

He walked side by side with it, and another pair of golden snake eyes looked at him strangely, spitting out tongues:

"Xiao Yugan, you're the first person I saw after leaving Haixu, but you were acting so sneaky. I'm really curious, what do you want to do?"

"Rescue."

"Maybe not. You are not honest and cunning."

Si Chen's golden eyes were half closed, his gaze was sinister, and his pale face seemed covered with a layer of frost.

"You know evil techniques, so you can't be from the Shangqing Sect, because the people in the sect wouldn't tolerate that. But you didn't hurt anyone, and it doesn't seem like you're using evil methods."

As he spoke, his eyebrows raised, showing his doubt.

"You are a half-mermaid, yet you are able to master both the sect's Taixuan Power and the evil arts. Therefore, you have been lying all along."

Ning Xiusu paused, and even though he was exposed, he just shrugged his shoulders:

"It's not a lie. From the beginning to the end, I never said that I was from the Shangqing Sect. You just guessed wrong."

"Humph, you silver-tongued little dried fish, your last name isn't Zeng at all!"

Si Chen's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his eye sockets were sunken, dark light flowed in his golden snake eyes, and a gloomy aura filled the air.

"Your last name is actually Ning, right?"

Ning Xiusu frowned slightly, a hint of vigilance mixed with the laziness in his eyes: "How do you know my last name is Ning?"

"I've always felt that you resemble someone, but I just can't remember who you are. If you hadn't used Blood Shadow, I would have actually forgotten about the guy Bai Yanshou had."

The soft "hum" sound that came from his throat was a little distant.

"That willful and reckless abandoned disciple who secretly practiced evil magic and was eventually banished from the mountain by Daoist Master Bai Yan, must be you."

Ning Xiusu heard this and looked at this person with a little surprise:

"Brother Si, since you know so much about the sect's past, you must have been in Kunqiu before?"

"Yes, I have been in Shangqing Sect. Those were the happiest days of my life."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes, his brows furrowed, his sharp fangs faintly visible between his clenched teeth, as if he was lost in some memories.

Ning Xiusu said, "That's not right. If you are in Shangqing Sect, why do I seem to have never seen you before?"

Si Chen twisted his neck and slowly approached him:

"Because when I was in the sect, you, little dried fish, weren't even born yet... At that time, Bai Yan had just joined the sect and had to call me Senior Brother."

"Oh, so if I were still in Kunqiu, I would call you Uncle Master."

"Don't shout like that, I hate these rules and regulations the most!"

Si Chen spit out a red tongue, and the breath that came out of his nose was cold and long, carrying a deep chill and anger.

"It is precisely because of this that I didn't want to return to Dao Sect and stayed in Haixu for more than ten years."

Ning Xiusu had no choice but to change his words and said, "Brother Si, since you have lived in Haixu for a long time, how did you know that I was driven down the mountain?"

"How strange! Your shameful past was a hot topic in Shangqing Sect. Back then, anyone who went to the teahouse at the foot of the mountain to drink tea could hear about it."

"..."

Ning Xiusu had indeed asked some nonsense, and was choked for a moment.

"But Xiao Yugan, you are quite unorthodox. I have heard about this for a long time."
