The villain has been playing badly for ten years

"I……"

"?"

Hua Jianbai stared at him with a curious look on his face, and noticed a hint of unnaturalness in the other's eyes, but then he quickly regained his composure.

Ning Xiusu stood lazily, his eyes slightly lowered, pretending to be indifferent.

"Make the potion well."

"Hey... Big villain, what do you mean?"

"I'm too sleepy. My injury hasn't healed yet. I need to rest."

Hua Jianbai suddenly understood something.

"That's right, injury is also a disease. If you are injured, big villain, don't go out for the next few days..."

Hua Jianbai saw him responding while hurriedly going out, but his foot accidentally kicked the door sill and he stumbled suddenly.

He was startled, and when he saw the other party was about to fall, he immediately stood up gracefully, brushed his sleeves, and looked serious yet funny.

Hanamibai breathed a sigh of relief, convinced that this person was no longer able to see...

Now that Ning Xiusu had left, there was no one to talk to him, and Hua Jianbai was alone in the attic soaking in the pungent potion.

I don’t know how much time passed, probably because it was getting dark.

After the flowers have been soaked for a long time, I really feel refreshed.

But it was late at night and I was a little hungry.

No one cared about his life or death, so Hua Jianbai pulled out the silver needle from his head and happily climbed out of the well. He saw that the inn was brightly lit, but there was no one there.

"Oh, I'm starving..."

Hua Jianbaiben blamed Hu Xiaoxiao for being dishonest, but when he rummaged through the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen, he found that there was hot food reserved in the steamer.

He picked up a chicken leg and took a bite, then devoured it in no time.

Hua Jianbai happily left the inn, thinking of taking a walk to digest his food. But after walking for a while, he saw a poplar forest and a crescent-shaped lake not far from the inn.

Crescent Lake is like a crescent moon, with the water surface shimmering with mysterious light, making people marvel at the wonders of nature.

Hanamibai thought the scenery was nice and was just about to go over when he heard people whispering, as if they were talking about something.

Among them, in the poplar forest, there was a man with a very low and deep voice.

"I really don't understand. He's such a poor man, why would you save him..."

"Shuye, this is what Mr. Mo meant. After all, going to that big tomb might be useful."

This soft and rippling voice, is it Hu Xiaoxiao?

Hua Jianbai looked surprised. He hid behind a rock beside Crescent Lake and looked over there.

He saw a handsome man in a royal blue silk shirt. He had never seen this man before, but he seemed to have heard Xi He mention something about "Brother Ye"...

Shu Ye frowned at this time and said:

"Alai, Mr. Mo just believes in prophecies, but prophecies may not be true. After all, the lost dragon bone seal reappeared, and it is not in his hands."

"Are you questioning Mr. Mo?"

"I'm just telling the truth. After all, the reason Lord Yuan disbanded the Dragon Abyss Pavilion was to give birth to an heir for the Human Emperor. He has the blood of Dayan, so there's no way he would stand on the same side with us."

"Since you know he is the Abyss Lord, you shouldn't have told me this."

Shu Ye walked forward slowly, and the royal blue silk shirt swayed gently with his slight movements.

"Why do you always side with this person? When you were in the palace, did you..."

"A special night."

Hu Xiaoxiao interrupted him, her brows slightly furrowed, her tone very unhappy.

"Don't talk nonsense. You should calm down on your own."

"calm?"

He looked at the other person deeply, his royal blue silk shirt fluttering slightly in the wind and sand, which only made his current irritability more apparent.

"Alai, I've been waiting for you in Haixu all these years. Mr. Mo said you've been through a disaster, so I understand why your temperament has changed. But why are you becoming more and more distant from me?"

She tilted her head slightly, and the gentleness in her crescent-shaped eyebrows turned into a bit of sharpness, breaking the harmlessness and gentleness of a deer.

"You and I should only have the great cause in our hearts. Everything else is an obstacle."

"But you treat that man very specially, even the guards around him are treated with great courtesy. Is it because of Master Yuan, or is it something else?"

"Shuye, I told you not to speculate."

There was an indescribable luster in Shu Ye's deep eyes, and his long dark blue hair fluttered freely in the wind. He wanted to get closer but didn't dare. He didn't say anything else, turned around and left.

Hua Jianbai quickly shrank his body, and only slowly stuck his head out after Hu Xiaoxiao walked over.

"...Why is there something strange between them...was that Ning Xiusu you were talking about just now?"

Hua Jianbai didn't quite understand what he heard and returned to the inn in confusion, but found that Hu Xiaoxiao was not in the inn, only Xi He was napping on the table.

Gone in the blink of an eye? Why is she always so elusive?

Hua Jianbai looked up at the attic. The lights in Ning Xiusu's place had been turned off long ago. Although he was not sleepy, he still went back to a room.

……

It was around midnight, the starlight outside the window was dim, and it should have been a good night's sleep.

But the darker Ning Xiusu's eyes became, the more his heart became a tangled mess, as if a figure shrouded in mist was always lingering before his eyes...

He sat up, holding his forehead and sighed.

No, no.

Whether it is a problem with the dragon bone seal or his nature.

But Hanamibai always appears as a man.

After so many years in the domain, even if I don’t have many memories of the present world, I definitely don’t have this kind of habit.

Ning Xiusu couldn't help but recall that gorgeous wedding dress back in the Luo Mansion...

He felt inexplicably flustered, as if ants were crawling in his heart, and he couldn't sleep at all.

Ning Xiusu felt that it must be a problem of blindness. A flash of light passed by his fingertips, and the thick ink in front of his eyes gradually melted away.

With a snap of his fingers, a dim candlelight lit up on the pear wood table by the window, just illuminating a landscape painting hanging on the wall.

The air beside me condensed into a faint butterfly shadow, gently hovering on the scroll, and then I found that the wall behind the scroll was a little strange.

Weird, this wall...

At this moment, Ning Xiusu forced himself to calm down and walked towards the wall.

When he stood under this seemingly insignificant wall, he took down the painting and then knocked on it gently with his hand. The hollow sound was very strange.

Is there nothing behind the wall?

Ning Xiusu explored the room and found a seemingly ordinary vase in the corner.

He gently moved the vase away, and a secret compartment appeared on the ground.

It's an inconspicuous mechanism...

Not only did this inn have a secret room hidden under the kitchen, but even the room he was in seemed strange.

He thought about it and stepped on the mechanism lightly. The ordinary wall caved in and turned into a secret door that opened quietly.

When I stepped inside, I saw that the interior was not very big. Green smoke was rising from the incense burner on the table, and snow-white curtains like those in a mourning hall were hung on the walls. It was not gloomy, but rather a solemn atmosphere.

In the center, there is a shrine made of sandalwood, with tablets enshrined between the candlelight.

Is there a small ancestral hall hidden in the room he is in...

Ning Xiusu discovered that the handwriting on the tablet was vigorous and powerful, with the words "Yue Li" written on it.

Long Yuan's former master Yue Li...

Ning Xiusu was stunned for a moment, staring at the tablet quietly. His expression remained unchanged, but for some reason, a sense of grief welled up in his heart, which was quite confusing.

His eyes moved, and he lowered his eyelashes very slightly. After a moment, he reached out and took the incense beside him.

The incense was long and slender, emitting a faint fragrance. The mermaid carefully pinched one end of the incense with her claws and slowly brought it close to the candlelight.

At this moment, a sudden laugh came from behind me, as if covered by a drum skin.

Ning Xiusu didn't need to turn around to know that it was Mo Chifei. Even if this person appeared and disappeared here like a ghost, there shouldn't be no signs.

"My Lord Xian, I never thought we would meet again so soon."

Mo Chifei sighed.
