Ji Xiao pushed open the door with a gloomy face, with a gust of cold air in his body, the cold wind rushed into the room along the open door, just took a step forward, and saw Hua Zhu, who was only wearing a single suit and whose hair was still dripping. .

Ji Xiao quickly closed the door, and subconsciously blamed him, "Why are you wearing so little?"

Huazhuo's face was still pink after taking a bath, she was stunned for a moment when she saw him, she didn't hide the joy in her eyes, she bent her eyes and said, "I'm back."

Ji Xiao felt his heart skip a beat for no reason, and with a gloomy face, he walked into the room, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.

"What's the matter, have you found out about the Devil's Cult?" Hua Zhuo asked with concern.

"Not much progress." Ji Xiao replied coldly.

There was a stove in the room, which was warmer than the ice and snow outside. Occasionally, a candle could be heard bursting. Hua Zhuo took a peek at him, and seeing that he didn't want to take care of her, she continued to wipe her hair with a towel.

Ji Xiao sat at the table sipping tea coldly, saw that he finished wiping his hair and went on to other things, there was no movement, and finally got impatient, put down the tea cup, and said coldly: "You don't have anything to ask for." told me?"

Hua Zhuo didn't react for a while, "Huh?"

Ji Xiao didn't go around in circles with him, he said, "Didn't you pick someone up today?"

Hua Zhuo was taken aback.

With a cold face, Ji Xiao asked, "Who is he? Why did you leave him in Wanqing Villa? Shouldn't you tell me about this kind of thing?"

"This..." Hua Jue didn't expect that he was referring to this matter, and said innocently, "I originally wanted to tell you, but since you weren't here this afternoon, I forgot."

After finishing speaking, he had to come over with the freshly brewed scented tea, intending to sit down and talk to him, but before his butt touched the chair, Ji Xiao reprimanded him again: "Go and put on some clothes before coming here, I just took a shower Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Hua Zhuo touched her nose helplessly, so she had no choice but to go back and get a thin coat to put on.

In fact, the stove is burning hot today, and the room is really not cold at all.

Sitting down again, Hua Zhuo cleared his throat, and told him how he met Han Zhou today, and also picked and picked about the man's amnesia, lest Ji Xiao would be dissatisfied. Witty changed the wording, trying to make the person as pitiful as possible, to imply that he only took him in out of sympathy.

After finishing speaking, Hua Zhuo saw that Ji Xiao was still frowning, fearing that he would not want to leave him behind, so she pretended to be worried and said: "His identity is unknown, maybe he deliberately wanted to sneak in, although I specially talked to him today After chatting and probing, I didn't see any clues, but in the final analysis, it is indeed a hidden danger."

Then, Hua Zhuo tentatively said: "Otherwise, I won't let him live here, and move to that empty village outside my city?"

Ji Xiao really raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said angrily: "Take your private property to raise a man outside, what kind of talk does it sound like?"

Hua Zhuo looked at him innocently, "Then what should we do?"

Ji Xiao rubbed the center of his brows, and said impatiently: "Forget it, I'm just alone, and it's not as serious as you said. If you want to stay, you can stay."

Hua Zhuo nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, forcing the corners of her lips to be raised.

"Oh, that's right." Hua Zhuo changed the subject in time, ran to take out the round jade that Han Zhou gave, and said, "This is the bead he gave me as a thank you gift, it seems quite rare , can be placed in the room as a night pearl."

Ji Xiao raised his eyes to look at the bead, and the color of his eyes changed suddenly, "Tianji Tong?"

Hua Zhuo was startled, and said in surprise, "Is this Tianji Tong?"

Ji Xiao frowned, and said, "I'm not sure, but it's very similar to the picture book."

Ji Xiao took the round jade in his hand, and was about to take a closer look, but the light of the round jade suddenly dimmed, turning into an ordinary golden yellow jade, the rapid change made both of them startled.

Ji Xiao hesitated for a moment, then put Yuan Yu back into Hua Zhuo's hand.

Yuanyu immediately lit up.

"This... how could it be like this?" Hua Zhuo's face was full of disbelief, and he said incredulously, "Impossible, when Han Zhou was holding it, he clearly..."

Hua Zhuo suddenly stopped.

There seems to be something wrong.

Thinking about it carefully, the biggest common feature between Hanzhou and himself is that they are of the same race, they are both butterflies, but if we talk about the difference by race, it is unlikely.After all, one of them is a butterfly demon and the other is a butterfly fairy. Although they are both butterflies, they are far away from each other.

If that day in the Jiangxue Building, the pearl in the hands of the national teacher was really a long-lived bone, and the nature of the holy treasure was almost the same, then it would explain a problem...

In the hands of a mortal who has no magic power, the Holy Treasure will not react.

Hua Zhuo suddenly fell silent, holding the glowing beads, and began to think about how to explain to Ji Xiao.

Ji Xiao looked at him with deep eyes.

"That..." Huazhu's face was full of confusion.

There was no expression on Ji Xiao's face, as if the scene just now hadn't happened at all, he looked away, and said lightly: "Tianji pupil is the holy treasure in the world, it's not that good, if this one is true, I'm afraid he I won’t send you off easily.”

Hua Zhuo looked up at him in surprise.

"It's a rare thing after all, keep it." Ji Xiao said.

Hua Zhuo noticed something strange, frowned anxiously, hesitated to say: "Qing Yun, are you..."

Ji Xiao looked at him, "What?"

Hua Zhuo pursed her lips and shook her head.

Ji Xiao didn't speak, he stroked the cup in his hand, after a while, he stood up and said: "It's getting late, let's rest."

Hua Zhuo replied with a heavy heart: "Yes."

In the morning of the second day, Ji Xiao went out to practice martial arts early as usual, and Hua Zhuo slept until dawn before getting up. Just after washing up, Er Fu came in with a few servants and a lot of new clothes.

"Young master." Er Fu seemed in a good mood, and asked people to show the clothes one by one in front of Hua Zhuo, and said happily, "These are all new winter clothes this year, and they were delivered a few days ago - take a look, are you satisfied? "

Hua Zhuo glanced at it roughly, and said with a little distaste: "The colors are not bright enough."

Er Fu was very happy, and said: "Young Master, I don't know something. Originally, the cloth shop sent samples over last month. I wanted to let you choose by yourself, but the young master stopped me halfway. I was afraid that if I said this, it would disturb the young master's heart, so I didn't mention it."

"As a result, I saw it this morning and found out that the winter clothes of Young Master this year are exactly the same style as Young Master's, but the color of Young Master is darker, and Young Master's these are still bright colors." Er Fu said.

Er Fu continued to laugh and said: "Before I came, I asked the housekeeper specifically, and the housekeeper said that it was all ordered by the young master himself. The young master really has a heart."

Hua Zhuo coughed unnaturally, turned to look at those clothes again, it was inexplicably pleasing to the eye.

Er Fu wisely picked out the water-blue dress, handed it to Hua Zhuo, and said, "Master, the owner of the young village is wearing this one this morning."

Hua Zhuo rubbed his nose, then stretched out his hand to take it, the fine material seemed to be hot in his hands, turned around uncomfortably and walked to the back room, said: "Got it, you guys go out first."

Er Fu led his servants back out with a smile all over his face.

After a few more days of calm, the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention what happened that night.Occasionally, Hua Zhuo would go to Han Zhou for a cup of tea, and ask around about the bead by the way, but Han Zhou really didn't seem to remember anything, and he didn't ask anything after all.Ji Xiao spent less and less time in the villa. Basically, he only came back in the middle of the night when the villa was silent, and left before dawn.

So when Hua Zhu heard that he had mastered his swordsmanship, he learned it from the shadow guard.

Recently, Ji Xiao has been busy contacting various sects in Jianghu to discuss the issue of advancing the martial arts conference.The contacts he had accumulated for many years finally came in handy at this time, and with the completion of his sword skills, the position of the leader of the alliance was almost a certainty for him.

So on this day, Ji Xiao went to the village outside the city, planning to discuss a time to arrange the sixteen knights from the village outside the city into the villa in advance, so that it would be easier to act in the future.

After proposing it to everyone, everyone naturally agreed.The environment of Wanqing Villa is good, there is also a special martial arts arena, and it is more convenient to enter the city, so it would be great to be able to live there.Ji Xiao had another drink with them, discussed the results by the way, and decided to take them over during the Chinese New Year.

It was already afternoon when he came out of Zhuangzi, Ji Xiao rode his horse and walked on the road, the sun reflected on the ancient road, bringing warmth in this cold day.The willow branches beside the road swayed slightly with the cold wind, and the horses walked unhurriedly on the road.

A few human voices suddenly came from a gazebo not far away, Ji Xiao followed the voice and looked over, but his eyes suddenly changed, just in time to see a figure in the gazebo suddenly fall into the lake.

The huge sound of falling water was particularly eye-catching, causing a splash of water.

The man in the crimson gauze white robe stood in the pavilion with his back facing him. Seeing that he was going into the water intentionally, he noticed something vigilantly, turned his head suddenly, and met Ji Xiao's gaze.

Ji Xiao frowned, tightened the reins and rushed over without hesitation.

The man in white looked hesitantly at the water again, jumped out of the gazebo from the other side, and disappeared.

Ji Xiao didn't care about anything else, he got off his horse and jumped into the lake.

The lake water in the twelfth lunar month was icy cold, and the cold air that seemed to be frozen with ice slag poured into the body violently, making people feel stiff and painful all over.Ji Xiao swam with all his might as if he couldn't feel the cold, grabbed the man who was struggling in the water, grabbed his waist and brought him back to the shore.

Putting the unconscious person flat on the ground, Ji Xiao patted his face, but seeing that there was no response, he quickly pressed hard on his chest a few times.Hua Zhuo closed her eyes tightly, after a long while, her face was pale, she choked out a few sips of water, her body moved, and finally slowly opened her eyes.

Water drops from Ji Xiao's hair dripped onto his face, his lips turned purple, his brows were tightly locked, and he said nervously: "Chengyan, how are you?"

Hua Zhuo looked at him with unfocused eyes, and it took a while to recognize him, and murmured: "... Qingyun?"

"Go, I'll take you back." Ji Xiao gritted his teeth, eagerly picked him up, and put him on the horse.

Along the way, Hua Zhuo leaned close to his arms, her face completely pale, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, her soaked clothes clinging to her body, being blown cold to the bone by the head-on wind.Ji Xiao's face was terribly gloomy, he held the rein in one hand, and hugged him tightly with the other to warm him up with internal force, and he rode straight to the villa.
