Saintess, he is a handsome boy

=============================

As soon as the voice fell, the door was pulled open.Luo Ning stood there, looking at him coldly.

Shengli's hut has no lights or windows, the only source of light is a little bit of candlelight from the Buddhist hall that comes in through the open door.

And Shengli happened to be hidden in the shadows at this moment. From Luo Ning's point of view, it was completely dark there.

Just now, Luo Ning heard a slight noise from the side of the Buddhist hall, so he came here quietly looking for the source of the sound.

Coincidentally, he witnessed the whole process of Shengli picking up the note from the crack of the door.

Against the dim light, Luo Ning couldn't see his expression clearly.But even so, Sheng Li could sense a trace of murderous intent from his tone.

Sheng Li held the note in his hand, not knowing where to go.

Throw it away?Luo Ning is not a fool, he can find the lost note as soon as he lights the lamp.

Eat it in your mouth?I'm afraid my movements can't keep up with Luo Ning's, and before I have time to swallow, I'll probably be picked out.

Pretend to be stupid and give it to him directly, and then refuse to admit it, saying that you don't know anything?This is a gamble, and the content of the note is irrelevant.

"What are you thinking, don't hand it over yet!"

Seeing that he was not moving, Luo Ning walked in, stood in front of Sheng Li, and looked down at him.

That appearance seemed to directly overwhelm Sheng Li in terms of aura and make him tremble in fright.

However, Sheng Li was not afraid at all.He finally handed over the note in his hand, and watched Luo Ning light the candle in his room, and opened the note in front of him.

Sheng Li himself was also curious about the contents of the note, so he leaned behind Luo Ning and stretched his neck to peek.Then he chuckled.

Luo Ning frowned while looking at the contents of the note, and asked, "This is?"

Sheng Li snatched the note and said, "Can't you see? This is a painting by Ah Xi. The round doll with big head is me, and the smaller one beside him is him. As for the one with long pointed ears Winter melon, maybe...a dog?"

When he said the dog, he took a special look at Luo Ning, as if to say: It's you.

Luo Ning said with a sullen face, "It's midnight, why didn't Ah Xi go to bed, and came to give you a painting?"

Sheng Li sat down beside him unceremoniously, and said, "It's midnight, my lord, you don't sleep, so you come to my place to look at the paintings?"

For some reason, Luo Ning suddenly became irritable. It felt like when he first met Nan Xiuzhu, he wanted La Shengli to go out and copy Buddhist scriptures until he fell down tired.But the Buddha was watching him from the outside, it was wrong to vent his anger like this.

Meditating on Amitabha Buddha in his heart, Luo Ning decided to put an end to this oolong.He stood up, and said calmly: "This king is being rude, Mr. Sheng, please forgive me."

After speaking, he opened the door and walked out.

Sheng Li watched Luo Ning leave through the narrow door, then closed the door, sat at the table and began to study the painting.

He brought the painting up to his nose and smelled it carefully. It was not ordinary drawing paper, but had a faint and strange fragrance, which was familiar to him.

Then he took a tea bowl, folded the note into a small ball and put it inside, and poured the still warm tea on it.

After about half a cup of tea, Sheng Li took out the note, spread it out on the table.

All those crooked paintings just now disappeared, replaced by a few lines of small characters.

Shengli could recognize these characters, it was Ming Ye's font.

The content on the paper was: Emperor Donglin was seriously ill and urgently needed the secret recipe of immortality.He ordered the three princes to go to three directions to look for the witch and saintess after the New Year's Day.Luocheng North, Luoning South, Luoan West.

Sheng Li smiled, he didn't know what ecstasy soup Ming Ye had poured into Qiao Shiliu, and told him everything without shy away.It seems that he really thought that the saint was dead, and Ming Ye had become a lonely ghost that no one wanted.

After reading the note, Sheng Li quickly burned it on the candle. Just as he was about to destroy the corpse and dispose of the paper ashes, Luo Ning suddenly pushed the door open again.

At a glance, he saw the paper ashes on the table and the tea that he hadn't had time to pour out.Then he curled his lips and smiled coldly.

Sheng Li's hand trembled accidentally, knocking over the tea bowl, and the tea poured out, submerging the paper dust into a ball of mud in an instant.

"My lord, why don't you knock on the door?" Sheng Li wiped the black puddle with a cloth towel, but unexpectedly, it got darker and darker, and the whole table was covered with stains.

Then he simply blew out the candle in one breath, and said, "Is there something wrong, my lord? If there is nothing wrong, I'm going to sleep."

Luo Ning came in, stood by the table, frowned at the ghostly-like table in the dim light of the Buddhist hall.

After a while, he slowly said: "It was fine just now, but now."

Sheng Li just felt that things didn't seem very good. Anyone who watched the scene just now would feel suspicious.Could it be that he will be tied to a water prison and tortured to extract a confession?

But the next moment, Sheng Li thought of an excuse.

He stretched out his arms to block Luo Ning who was already approaching, and said, "My lord, please listen to my explanation."

"Oh?" Luo Ning raised an eyebrow with great interest, his heart was already like this, could he still find an excuse to excuse himself?Then he would like to hear it.

I saw that Sheng Li's eyes were dimmed, and his face was full of grief.

With a low voice, he said slowly: "Actually, Ah Xi is not my own, but my sister's son. Look at me, I don't even have a concubine. How can I have such a big son?"

As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Luo Ning, seeing that he looked unharmed, and seemed to want to hear him continue.

"My elder sister is a knight-errant, and both husband and wife were killed by the enemy, leaving Ah Xi alone.

So I raised him by my side and became his father.I don't want him to know that his parents were murdered. Such a child will only grow up in pain and hatred, and will not be happy.

So when I saw that painting just now, I thought Ah Xi's painting was really good.I thought my sister would also like to see it, so I burned it for her..."

As Sheng Li said, the charming peach blossom eyes actually glowed with water, and a bean-sized teardrop hung in the corner of the eye, stubbornly refusing to fall.

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Luo Ning, and then smiled gently.The stubborn teardrop also slid down the cheek, slid down the side of the neck to the neckline, and gradually became a teardrop, which looked so sad.

Hearing this, Luo Ning lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about the credibility of this story.

After a long time, he got up and walked in front of Shengli, reaching out to wipe away his tears.Said: "Let me believe you once, if I let this king know that you are lying..."

He stayed and said half of the words, then turned and left.

Sheng Li felt relieved, leaning against the wall and let out a long sigh of relief.Then he suddenly remembered something, he touched his chin nervously, and pressed it with his hands.

"I forgot, you can't cry, tears are also salt water."
