Ji Xiao directly rushed into the courtyard, reined in his horse and turned over with someone in his arms, and shouted at the servants in the courtyard: "Prepare hot water!"

Regardless of his drenching, Ji Xiao kicked the door into the room, quickly put him on the bed, surrounded him with a quilt, and sat there with his arms tightly around his back, constantly expending his internal energy to pass on the heat .

But even so, the person in his arms was still shivering from the cold, his face pale beyond recognition.

Ji Xiao's face became more and more ugly.

The shadow guard stood outside the door and couldn't see what was going on inside the house, so he poked his head out and asked inexplicably, "Young Master, what happened?"

"Chengyan fell into the water." Ji Xiao's eyes were dark, and he said coldly, "Go ask someone to prepare ginger soup, and turn on the stove in the house."

"Yes." The shadow guard left in response.

There was no howling of the cold wind in my ears, and the familiar room and comfortable temperature made Huazhuo feel more at ease, and her breath gradually calmed down.Thoughts gradually came back, Hua Zhuo recalled everything that happened just now, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, her body became more and more stiff.

It's over... Just before falling into the water, he was still in his original form!The situation was urgent just now, and there was no time to take this into consideration, so that it has not changed back until now.

It's too late to remember this now.

Hua Zhuo's head was in a mess, his body was cold, but his heart was beating wildly like a drum.

He already knew about Ji Xiao.

When did you know?Why do you know?Is it because of Tianjitong, or that time in Zuixiaolou?Or...was there a flaw earlier?

Hua Zhuo leaned against the man's arms tensely, and didn't even have the courage to ask him, let alone change back to Lin Qiu's appearance at this time, and could only wait quietly like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

After the servants prepared the hot water, Ji Xiao carried him out of the quilt, put him into the bathtub filled with hot water, and held his hand tightly, the internal force instilled in his palm was never interrupted.

Hua Jue didn't dare to look at him, her eyes fell on his soaked clothes, her lips were still trembling with cold, she hesitated and asked softly, "What about you?"

"I'm fine." Ji Xiao was still dripping with water, and said in a cold tone, "Are you better?"

Hua Zhuo nodded, fearing that no matter how strong his body was going to be, he would suffer from frostbite if he continued like this, he resentfully said, "I'll just soak here...you go and change your clothes first."

Ji Xiao remained silent, still not letting go of his hand.

Seeing his frighteningly cold face, Hua Zhuo pursed her lips and did not speak again.

After a while, the stove in the room was turned on, the cold feeling on Hua Zhuo's body gradually receded, and a lot of blood returned to her face. Looking at Ji Xiao whose clothes were half dry beside her, she couldn't help thinking remind.

"Qing Yun..." Hua Zhuo hesitated to speak.

Ji Xiao glanced at him, seeing that he was fine, before he finished speaking, he let go of his hand, got up and walked around the screen to change clothes.

Hua Zhuo was a little uneasy, unsure of his attitude, worried and a little sour in his heart, fluttering and not knowing what to do, and couldn't help but think wildly in his mind.

... If he told the truth, would Ji Xiao accept it?

Not to mention that I don't belong to the human world at all, just my original body, I am afraid that ordinary people will be afraid to avoid it.Most mortals are afraid of aliens that are different from themselves. Although they don't know whether the alien world really exists or not, their grudges against aliens are true.

What's more, he is just a butterfly with a not very noble race.

If it was Phoenix, maybe there would be no need to worry so much.

Hua Zhuo was thinking worriedly, when he heard Ji Xiao's indifferent voice from the other side of the screen: "Come out and drink ginger soup when you're done."

Hua Zhuo responded muffledly when she heard the words, her body was almost warm, she got up and stepped out of the bathtub, took off her wet clothes, found a clean underwear from the cabinet, and changed into it. Step out behind the screen.

In fact, as a fairy body attached to his physical body, his body is much more disease-resistant than ordinary mortals, and he is thin and thin, but he is not so easy to be frozen.Ordinary people fall into the water in the twelfth lunar month, and they have to lie in bed for three to five months if they don't die, but he got a cold at most.

Ji Xiao threw a thin and moderate dress to him, and said coldly: "Put it on, go back to bed and stay."

Hua Zhuo obeyed obediently, put on her clothes and sat back on the bed, leaned against the big pillow, and pulled up the quilt to cover half of her face, only showing a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes to look at him with a guilty conscience.

Ji Xiao turned around with a bowl of ginger soup, saw his brows twitch, and tore off the quilt covering his face.

"Finish." Ji Xiao handed him the bowl.

Hua Zhuo dared not refuse at this time, took the bowl, felt disgusted by the spicy taste of ginger soup, shrunk her mouth, frowning and held her breath, raised her head and took a sip—no accident was choked and coughed.

Ji Xiao hurriedly patted him on the back with a headache, and reprimanded: "Think it's sugar water? Why drink it so fast?"

After speaking, he took the bowl back from his hand, and skillfully used a small spoon to feed it to his mouth.

Hua Zhuo paused, then secretly raised her eyes to look at him, and obediently opened her mouth to drink.

"Who is that person in the pavilion today?" Ji Xiao suddenly asked in a cold tone.

Hua Zhuo choked, with a hesitant expression, "That's..."

Before he could tell the reason, Ji Xiao asked again: "Did he push you down?"

Hua Zhuo froze for a moment, then shook his head.

Ji Xiao stared at him suspiciously.

"It's really not." Hua Zhuo rubbed his nose and explained, "It was because he suddenly appeared in front of me. I was startled, so I took two steps back, and accidentally tripped over something...and fell. into the water."

Ji Xiao didn't know what expression to make for a moment, he felt his temples throbbing, and gritted his teeth, "So you fell down by yourself?"

Hua Zhuo nodded embarrassingly.

"You..." Ji Xiao was so angry that he had nothing to say, the soup bowl in his hand was almost shattered, and he said angrily, "I was worried that someone was plotting against you and trying to kill you! I didn't expect that the problem was actually yours." On yourself?! Do you know how dangerous it is to fall into the water this day? What’s more, you don’t know how to swim. What if something happens? Why are you so uneasy?!”

Hua Zhuo's face was full of grievances, and his eyes looked very pitiful, and said: "I didn't do this on purpose..."

Ji Xiao stared at his unrepentant look, only felt a tightness in his chest, exhaled with difficulty, and said with difficulty: "Who is that person in the pavilion? Do you recognize him?"

Hua Zhuo hesitated for a moment, then replied: "...is the national teacher."

Ji Xiao's eyes suddenly changed, and he said in a cold voice: "Before, it was because of him having nightmares, but this time he was so frightened that he fell into the water... What did that man do to you?"

Hua Zhu wrinkled her nose depressedly, and resentfully said: "Actually, he didn't do anything to me... I was afraid."

After thinking about it, Hua Zhuo felt that it was okay to tell Ji Xiao about it, so he explained: "One time when I went to Jiangxuelou, I happened to see the national teacher using a fairy furnace to refine blood, and the scene looked quite strange. It's weird, I haven't dared to go there since then, and he hasn't looked for me after such a long time... But today he suddenly appeared again for some reason, I subconsciously thought he was going to kill me, panicked, and ..."

Ji Xiao frowned and said, "Blood refinement?"

Hua Zhuo nodded, unsure: "And it's probably made of long-lived bones...I'm not sure about that thing either."

Ji Xiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes to look at him deeply, and said, "Then why did you meet such a person? What is your identity?"

Hua Zhuo froze, her heart beat violently, but she didn't make a sound.

Ji Xiao put the soup bowl aside, pinched his chin and forced him to look at him, his eyes were cold and he said: "Speak. It's all here, and you still want to hide it from me?"

"Are you Lin Qiu, or someone else? Where did the real Lin Qiu go?" Ji Xiao asked word by word.

Hua Zhuo swallowed, forced to look at him calmly, and said, "I didn't mean to lie to you... If I did, would you blame me?"

Ji Xiao was not moved, and said coldly: "Let's talk about it first."

Hua Zhuo pursed her lips, hesitated again and again, and finally decided to break the can, telling her all about her identity, why she came to the human world, how she became a national teacher, and why she had two looks.

Ji Xiao froze there after hearing this, and didn't make a sound for a while.

"Ji Xiao, I..." Seeing that his face was ugly, Hua Zhuo was about to say something more, but was interrupted.

"Let me think about it again." Ji Xiao said in a deep voice.

Hua Zhuo's heart sank as if being stabbed, Ji Xiao had already stood up, turned and left.

The temperature dropped sharply on a cold winter night, and the vast snow seemed to have been accumulated for a long time. It gushed out from the dark sky and continued to fall tirelessly until late at night. It was densely scattered on the entire Qiujiang City, as if it would drown the world in an instant. Pale.

At midnight, the candle lamp in the study was still on, and the sudden snow whistling outside the window was disturbing.Ji Xiao rubbed the center of his brows in annoyance, his brows were furrowed tightly, and his mind was still circling what Hua Zhuo said today, like a nail stuck in his heart in vain, once it goes in, it can't come out.

Outside the door, the shadow guard knocked on the door and walked in, holding a letter in his hand.

Ji Xiao had no choice but to hold back his thoughts temporarily, and opened the envelope.Inside is an invitation card. The reason for the invitation is that they discussed and decided to hold the martial arts conference in the middle of this month.

The martial arts conference this time was still jointly organized by the four major sects, and the location was chosen in Lujiang City, not far from Qiujiang City, only five days away.Because things about the Demon Sect may change at any time, the time set is a bit tight, and the number of people who can attend the martial arts conference is only half of the previous ones.

There are still thirteen days before the middle of the month, for Ji Xiao, the time is still plenty.

Holding the invitation card in his hand, Ji Xiao pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to the shadow guard in a deep voice: "Pack up your things, we will leave tonight."

The shadow guard was taken aback, and said, "Tonight?"

Ji Xiao didn't answer.

The shadow guard hesitated, and said: "But it's still snowing outside now, the road is not easy to walk, besides... this trip will take at least half a month to come back, don't you need to talk to the young lady?"

Ji Xiao couldn't see any expression on his face, and said lightly: "No need. You go to prepare first, and we will leave as soon as the snow stops."

The shadow guard was a little puzzled.

The owner of the young village clearly only went out for one night before, so he waited for the young lady in the villa for several hours, just to inform him personally.Why are you going to leave this time?

The shadow guard recalled what happened during the day, so he asked: "Did the young master quarrel with his wife?"

Ji Xiao looked indifferent, and said: "No."

The shadow guard tried again: "Do you want to surprise the young lady?"

After all, he will become the leader of the martial arts alliance when he comes back.

Ji Xiao glared at him and said, "No."

"Then..." The shadow guard planned to continue guessing.

Ji Xiao interrupted him ruthlessly, and said coldly: "Do your job well, don't ask more questions than you should."

The shadow guard touched his nose, agreed resentfully, turned around and backed out.

So the next morning, as soon as Hua Zhuo woke up, he learned the news - before dawn last night, Ji Xiao set off and rushed to Lujiang City to participate in the martial arts conference.

Hua Zhuo couldn't help but smile wryly.

With so much snow last night, how could we make it through?

Is he so desperate to hide from himself?

Before he could get depressed, the owner Ji Hong suddenly sent someone to call him to the front hall, saying that he had something to discuss.Hua Zhuo had no choice but to calm down, dressed neatly and rushed over.

However, before he stepped into the door, he heard Ji Hong's furious slap on the table from the front hall——

"This brat, isn't he about to go to heaven! How dare you not wait for him to participate in the martial arts conference! You bastard, you bastard!!"

Finally confessed, I can do things like hee hee hee, Sahua! [shh]

Changed to a lively and loving name, don’t miss it~
