They all made a toast to Mr. Chen. I picked up the wine glass and looked at Ling Jue beside me. Her gaze suddenly turned away and her eyes intertwined.For a split second, I didn't know what to say.

"Koren."

"Ah!" I didn't react for a while, and looked at Ling Jue blankly.

Ling Jue poured a glass of wine and put it in front of me, then took the glass from my hand and poured some into it.I stared blankly at her movements, and kept silent, a little embarrassed to be found out.

"The wine here is good, Ke Lun try it?"

I:"……"

I looked at the ripples on the water surface in the wine glass with a complicated expression. Holding it in my hand, the mellow aroma of the wine rushed into my nostrils, and I was extremely entangled.I just saw that everyone was holding wine glasses, so I also held an empty wine glass and pretended to drink. I was casual, but I didn't know that my every move was within Ling Jue's sight.

"Just taste it, if Ke Lun doesn't like it, just don't drink it." Ling Jue looked at me softly, and there was an innate sense of trust in my dark eyes.I took the wine glass, gritted my teeth, and drank half of it in one go.

In an instant, I felt a surge of steaming steam from my chest to my face.With a bitter face, I looked at Ling Jue sadly.Sure enough... I am not suitable for drinking these things.

Seeing me like this, she put down the wine glass she had already drunk, and Ling Jue didn't change his face after drinking such strong wine.She stretched out her hand to touch my face, and felt a lot more comfortable after her cool fingertips touched my face, which was still hot.

"How?" she asked me.

I frowned and shook my head.At this time Xuan Yue suddenly appeared from behind me, and a pair of claws stuck to my face.

I:"……"

"Lovely, you're drinking! It's so warm! Fortunately, this white ghost has you by his side, you are a big heater! Let me hug you after you turn into a prototype!" The voice I heard said, otherwise, according to her usual voice, everyone in the yard would know that I am not human.

I pushed her away in disgust, and said with a stern face: "Xuanyue! Don't do this, I'm really angry!"

"Yo, my cute temper has grown a lot since I came back this time, ah, I'm so scared~~" After finishing speaking, Xuan Yue looked at me charmingly, then at Ling Jue, and groaned in his nose With a sound, he sat in his seat, ate the food on the table, and looked at the dancers dancing in the center of the yard boredly.

I sat stuffy in my place, the heat on my face hadn't dissipated, and suddenly I felt a pair of cold hands holding me from below. Of course, I am very familiar with this feeling. I raised my head, At a glance, he saw Ling Jue's dark eyes.

"Xuan Yue has always been like this, don't argue with her."

"I know." I said.Ling Jue's temper is inherently cold, and those who can stay by her side must need someone who can ease the atmosphere.Xuan Yue has a high-profile personality, while Ling Jue is calm. Together, the two of them will definitely be able to solve anything, so how can I blame her.

Moreover, I feel that my heart is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. When I am not very calm, sometimes there will be some violent emotions that suddenly want to control myself, although they will be subconsciously suppressed , but I always feel a kind of uneasiness in my heart.Uncertain things, things that cannot be controlled will come out from time to time, and you will forget who you are.

"Coron, what's wrong?"

Ling Jue's voice has always been so nice, cold but comfortable.I pursed my lips and shook my head.

Suddenly, I smelled a dangerous smell. This feeling came spontaneously, like my instinct.Suddenly, I also noticed the sudden drop in temperature beside Ling Jue.At the same time, at this moment, I smelled an unusual fragrance, which was very light, but it made me feel familiar, as if I had smelled it from someone.My sense of smell is very keen, and I noticed it the moment the fragrance appeared.

"Ling Jue, don't breathe!" After I finished speaking, I saw Xuan Yue hurried towards us, and she happened to hear my voice, and the next second, she blocked her nostrils with two fingers.

Xuan Yue: "..." Suddenly, she seemed to have thought about holding her breath, immediately put down her hand, took out a handkerchief, wiped her nose, wiped her hands again, and threw it away.It happened to be thrown on the face of Chen Xianrong who also rushed over.

Chen Xianrong: "..."

Xuan Yue: "...Sorry" Don't blame her, really!

Chen Xianrong first touched his face helplessly, and then said to us: "Three girls, the grandfather at home is here to invite you."

Chen Xianrong's grandfather is Mr. Chen whose birthday is today. When I heard that, I raised my head and glanced at Mr. Chen who was still sitting on the high platform. He didn't look in this direction. He seemed to have a serious and upright face throughout the birthday party. , but he became bored after a while, and indifferently left the birthday banquet specially held for him.

"Three girls, let's go." Chen Xianrong made a "please" gesture.Xuan Yue walked in the front, and Ling Jue and I walked behind. When passing by Chen Xianrong, I seemed to hear a faint voice:

"You are not fit to drink."

I was startled, and suddenly turned my head to look at Chen Xianrong, only to see that he still had the same expression, not like the person who just spoke, I looked around blankly, and my steps stopped a bit.

"Ke Lun?" Ling Jue turned to look at me.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

I looked at Ling Jue in confusion, I didn't know what I was looking at.

"Ling Jue... just now, did you hear anything?"

Ling Jue looked at me with some doubts on his face, as if he didn't understand why I asked, "Did Ke Lun hear anything?"

I saw that she looked worried, and I was afraid that she would be worried, so I shook my head: "It's nothing, these people, maybe I heard it wrong." Maybe it's just an illusion.

Chen Xianrong had already walked to the front to lead the way, and I walked behind in a deep thought, thinking about the flash of killing intent just now, the sudden scent, and the inexplicable sound.With so much doubt, there is always something foreshadowing.

Some things are fading and forgetting; some things are sprouting and reborn.One after another, the more doubts you have, the more you want to explore.

"Grandfather, everyone has been brought here." Chen Xianrong led us into a room, and said to an old man sitting in the inner room.

The orientation of this room is very good, facing the sun, with a lot of furniture, hanging paintings, and some weapons used by humans. Of course, these are all weapons used by humans. Compared with Ling Jue's space pawnshop, these mortal objects, Simply vulnerable.

The old man came out with strong and light steps. Looking at his walking posture, one knew that this was a person with profound skills among human beings.

"Mr. Chen. I don't know what you called us here for?" Xuan Yue still looked restrained in front of outsiders, bowing with a serious face, which was just a salute of the same generation.

Xuan Yue has lived for so long, even to an elderly person, she is still the older one.In addition to the fact that he did not know when it was established to prevent him, and he is a lord, he naturally would not salute to an ordinary Jianghu faction.

Mr. Chen is a strong and strong man. Even though his hair is white and his face is full of wrinkles, he can't hide his inner resolute and strong spirit at all.

Mr. Chen invited the three of us to sit down. After closing the door, Mr. Chen Xianrong came back and waited beside Mr. Chen.Mr. Chen has always kept a straight face. From the perspective of outsiders, it is difficult for people to get close to him.It’s just that for some reason he invited the three of us alone. Could it be that they found out that Ling Jue gave me the original birthday present?

It shouldn't be... Not to mention that it is impossible for them to know... No, where did I think, maybe, they came to ask about the cave under the rockery.

"I invited a few girls to come here because I wanted to ask another question, because the matter is related to the privacy of the Chen family and cannot be disclosed, so I had to bring a few girls in for questioning."

"I don't know if what Old Chen wants to ask is about the cave this morning?" Xuan Yue continued to ask.

"Exactly."

Old Chen looked sad, as if he had been confused by something for a long time.

"I heard Xianrong say that you discovered that strange place?" Elder Chen asked with a frown.

"That's right." Xuan Yue's eyes lit up, as if he had already guessed what Old Chen wanted to do next.Old Chen turned the emerald ring in his hand, and was silent for a moment, as if hesitating whether to speak or not.

Chen Xianrong stayed by Chen Lao's side all the time, and he didn't say a word during that time, but I could still feel Chen Xianrong's glances from time to time.

After thinking for a while, Mr. Chen said in a calm voice: "To be honest, our Chen family has a history of hundreds of years. Our ancestors were all officials in the court. It was not until my grandfather's generation that the Chen family completely broke away from the court. , based in the rivers and lakes. I heard from my father before that the Chen family brought back a woman hundreds of years ago. One day, a Taoist priest passed by here, identified the woman as a demon, and tried every means to force her to reveal her original form. In the end, the ancestors made up their minds and joined forces with the Taoist priest to kill her. The place where she died was the rockery. There was no rockery there at that time. Later, the Taoist priest said that in order to prevent the monster from retaliating after death, A huge rockery was pressed there, intending to suppress the resentment left by the monster."

With a sullen face, I listened to Mr. Chen finish speaking.That's right, I'm angry at why that demon is so unbelievable, why didn't he kill that human being when he was about to die!She didn't deserve to be here.I also hate that humans regard demons as monsters, and everyone can punish them.

Why? !

The demon is at least a thousand percent stronger than these hypocrite humans, ten thousand percent!My breathing became heavy in an instant, and suddenly, a cool hand covered my hand and held me tightly.

Ling Jue...

Ling Jue also frowned after hearing this, her eyes were cold, but when she looked at me, she softened a lot. Holding my hand, she seemed to be able to feel my state of mind at this time, silently comforting me.Xuan Yue also had a gloomy face, thinking that her white wolf is also a demon, if her white wolf was killed by this group of ignorant humans, she would die of anger.

"What kind of monster is it, do you know?"

Old Chen hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mei Yao."

Suddenly, Xuan Yue's face froze.

Ling Jue held my hand tightly.

Fascinating... demon?
