"Qingchen?"

The man's deep voice suddenly rang in his ears, and Xiao Qingchen was dragged into the other's arms as soon as he turned his head. The next moment, the scene around him changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he had already returned to the gate of Jingxiang Garden.

"how did you find me?"

Xiao Qingchen asked belatedly as he walked towards the garden.

The space-time teleportation function of this stone mirror is more limited than he imagined, and it is extremely unstable.

Like just now, if he stays any longer, he might be discovered by Ling Xiao, but Shi Jing doesn't give face. Fortunately, Ye Hen appeared in time...

"Perhaps it's because of a tacit understanding." Ye Hen replied inscrutablely.

Xiao Qingchen was silent, with a tacit understanding?I'm afraid... a blind cat ran into a dead mouse, right?

In the entire Ling family mansion, the places he is most familiar with are Jingxiang Garden, Luochuan Pavilion and Luohua Palace!

Xiao Qingchen secretly laughed in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he paused suddenly, and raised his eyebrows and said: "Yehen, let's go to Luohua Hall now."

At this time, since Ling Xiao is in Luochuan Pavilion, he probably won't be able to go back for a while, so——

"Okay," the man responded immediately.

After both of them used the invisibility technique, they immediately teleported to Luohua Palace...

At night, the Luohua Palace was still brightly lit, and everything was quiet.

Xiao Qingchen walked through the palace gate all the way, following the location in memory, moving step by step.

After a while, the two arrived at the corridor smoothly.

"Separate action?"

Xiao Qingchen hesitated and asked.

Time is running out, and Ling Xiao is not an easy person. Even if he and Yehen are in a state of invisibility, there is no guarantee that no clues will be missed, let alone looking for things through rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

"Together."

The man shook his head lightly, unquestionably authentic.

Xiao Qingchen shrugged helplessly, and said, "Alright then, let's start from this room..."

With a random finger, it happened to point to the room that Gu Jiuyue entered that day. There was a plaque above the door, which read: Zangshu Pavilion.

Xiao Qingchen was ashamed, this is... the study, right?

"Oh."

Ye Hen obviously didn't think much, and pushed open the door directly.

After a creak, the two squeezed into the room one after another...

As soon as he turned around, Xiao Qingchen subconsciously looked around, and sure enough, as he expected, this Zangshu Pavilion was indeed Ling Xiao's study.

In the four corners of the room and in front of the desk, large pots of white crystal stones are placed for lighting, making the whole room as bright as day.

Opposite the desk was a sleeping couch, and beside the couch was a low table covered with a thin layer of dust?

Xiao Qingchen raised his eyebrows in surprise, dust appeared in the study of the head of the majestic Ling family?Is no one cleaning it?

Then his eyes turned to the desk, Xiao Qingchen stepped forward a few steps, raised a Buddha with one hand, and then looked at his fingertips, his doubts deepened...

This study room probably won't be used for some time.

But that's not the case, is it?

Or--

In the entire Luohua Palace, no one else is allowed to enter or leave at will?

"Yehen, don't touch anything here, it's a bit weird."

While exhorting Xiao Qingchen, he buried his head and looked at the ground. The ground paved with black basalt stones showed some messy steps, but the traces were very fresh.

He thought for a while, and suddenly remembered the wooden clogs that Gu Jiuyue wore that night...

"Here, is there a secret room?"

"Huh?" Yehen replied puzzled, his eyes moved around, and finally stopped on the blue and white porcelain vase on the left side of the desk.

It happened that Xiao Qingchen also fixed his eyes on the vase, so he raised his head and said, "Go and see."

Ye Hen nodded, stepped forward, hugged the vase with both hands, exerted a three-point force, and the vase remained motionless.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingchen's eyes lit up, and he reminded: "Try to turn left and right."

Sure enough, the vase really moved...

After Yehen turned around a few times, the wall facing the door suddenly moved...

Move the wall to the right, revealing the hidden grid...

Xiao Qingchen turned his head to look, and was shocked!

The hidden compartment behind the wall is not big, just enough to accommodate a person, and there is really a person tied there!

"what happened?"

Xiao Qingchen quickly looked at Yehen, who was also confused.

After the two looked at each other, they stepped forward tacitly.

It was a man in his forties, wearing a white single-clothes, unscathed, but unconscious for some reason, with his head drooping.

Xiao Qingchen leaned over to look at that person, and after studying for a while, shook his head decisively: I don't know him!

"Who is this person?" Then he turned to look at Yehen.

Ye Hen rested his chin with one hand, narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, and shook his head slightly.

"Close the wall first."

Xiao Qingchen paused and said.

Before the other party wakes up, quickly restore everything to the original state.

Hearing this, Ye Hen immediately complied.

Where flint exists, there will be abnormal energy fluctuations.To find the flint that has been buried for 2000 years, there are only two ways, one: rely on the swordsmith's intuition to find it; the other: let Ye Hen worry about it.

Xiao Qingchen didn't think much about it, and instinctively chose the second method, and he just stood aside to help.

The source of Yehen's power has a keen sense of energy fluctuations, which is beyond his reach.

So for the next time, Xiao Qingchen wisely stood aside and did not disturb Yehen.

After all, this room is unusual, and the furnishings inside can be moved or not, and safety is paramount.

Just at this time, there was a strange noise outside the house.

Xiao Qingchen walked quickly to the back of the door. Anyway, he is now invisible, and most people can't find him. As long as the person who comes is not Ling Xiao, then there is nothing to worry about.

He quietly opened the window lattice, revealing a crack, and then looked out...

I saw a few masked men in black night clothes, holding short knives, passing through the gate all the way, but were trapped in the courtyard a few meters away.

The flowers in Milan are blooming, and the fragrance is overwhelming.

Accompanied by bursts of inexplicable hidden weapons flying out, those masked men walked in an extremely difficult and dangerous way!

Xiao Qingchen counted silently, there were seven people on the other side, two of them were injured, and the person on the far right who was close to the Milan flowers seemed to be seriously injured, suddenly staggered and fell to the ground!Immediately afterwards, a burst of thunder, lightning and purple mist suddenly rose from the ground, turning into thorns and thorns, tightly entangled the man!In the blink of an eye, the fallen man in black had turned into a pile of bones!

Xiao Qingchen took a sharp breath, secretly startled.

At the right time, the flowers in Milan suddenly changed, and a dreamlike white mist floated out. Once the white mist and purple mist merged, even the pile of white bones turned into powder...

too horrible!Xiao Qingchen's eyes widened with lingering fear. There should be some powerful formation around here, right?

Looking back now, it was really too risky for him and Yehen to follow the path when Gu Jiuyue entered the corridor just now!If there is a slight change in the formation, one wrong step will result in eternal doom!

At this moment, the remaining six men in black suddenly let out one after another shrill screams, Xiao Qingchen suddenly came back to his senses, and when he looked again, he saw that two of them had been shot into arrow targets, with blood bubbling and splattering out!

The air was stained by blood and flowers into a weird smell, which was unpleasant to the nose, but in just a moment, the smell disappeared!

And the original seven people have only four people left...

Xiao Qingchen frowned with a complicated expression, and couldn't help feeling: So this Luohua Palace seems to be peaceful, but there is a dark tide behind it!

The mysterious man hiding in the room, and this group of men in black...

Ye Hen said that the defense of the Ling family's main house was flawless, so it would be impossible for outsiders to sneak in, so this group of men in black is likely to be from the Ling family!

Could it be Ling Shao?

Xiao Qingchen's first reaction was the young master of the Ling family. After a few contacts, he clearly sensed that Ling Shao was hostile to Ling Xiao, and seemed to have the intention of replacing him.

"Qingchen..."

Ye Hen's voice suddenly came from his side, Xiao Qingchen quickly regained his senses and asked, "What's the result?"

"The fire spar is not here."

"Not in this room?"

"Hmm. Besides, it doesn't seem to be in the Luohua Palace either."

"I've already searched other places in the Ling family's main house. Isn't the fire spar in the Ling family?"

Xiao Qingchen pondered and said, since he can't find it, then let's leave first.

Turning back again, looking out of the window, he suffocated for breath, and in just a moment, the dead man was already dead, not even leaving a trace.

"Let's go."

Xiao Qingchen sighed lightly, feeling a little heavy all of a sudden.

Human life is like an ant, so humble.It's abominable...

Behind the brilliance is a frightening darkness.

creak-

The door opened a crack, Xiao Qingchen and Yehen stepped out of the threshold one after another.

Just as he was about to leave, another figure suddenly appeared outside the palace gate.

Xiao Qingchen reached out his hand to stop Yehen, and said in a low voice, "Wait a minute."

The moment the words fell to the ground, Xiao Qingchen finally saw the figure of that person clearly, it was... Ling Shao! ?

The young man in a bright purple brocade suit pursed his lips in a gloomy expression, stared fixedly at Zangshuge, turned around and left after a while...

Those people just now were really sent by Ling Shao?

The purpose is to save the man in the secret compartment of Cangshu Pavilion?

The more Xiao Qingchen thought about it, the more something went wrong, something vaguely flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp it no matter what.

"Qingchen, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, let's go."

Xiao Qingchen shook his head slightly and said.

He shouldn't meddle in the affairs of the Ling family, and he's not interested in the infighting between Ling Xiao and Ling Shao.

The two followed the method they came in before, followed the example, and walked out of the Luohua Palace smoothly.

At this point, Xiao Qingchen suddenly stopped, pulled Yehen's arm, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the limit of your teleportation?"

After being slightly startled, Yehen replied: "...I don't know, but it seems that after a long distance, you can't directly enter the building."

Xiao Qingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, recalling the previous few times, they came to Luohua Hall twice and returned to Jingxiang Garden, they just stopped in front of the courtyard in the end.

"I see."

"Go back now?"

Yehen nodded and asked.

"Ah."

Although he prefers to wait here, wait for Gu Jiuyue to appear, and take a look at the situation afterwards, because he vaguely has a strange premonition: the person Gu Jiuyue came to meet that night may not be Ling Xiao...

Is it a hunch, or is it justifying Ling Xiao?

Xiao Qingchen questioned himself, but finally found no solution.

But one thing he was sure of, this matter would never be that simple.

Everyone knows that the head of the Ling family has always lived in the Luohua Palace, but what if Ling Xiao does the opposite?

What if this Luohua Palace was just a bait deliberately placed by Ling Xiao in the open?

Xiao Qingchen immediately felt: Ling Xiao is unfathomable, and the city is extremely deep. Compared with him in the past, he is probably even worse than him.

Just like a chess player, a good chess player will never waste chess pieces, every move has his arrangements and intentions.

There must be some kind of transaction between Gu Jiuyue and Ling Xiao, but it doesn't have to be a physical transaction.
