The lord can't get along with this butterfly

After asking, Ji Xiao asked the shadow guard to send Tao Lin to another guest room.

After the two finished their breakfast in the room, Hua Zhuo asked: "The child is still so young, what should I do in the future?"

Ji Xiao didn't care, and said in a flat tone: "Send it back to the mountain."

This is from the mountains, so it is only natural to send it back.

But Hua Zhuo obviously had other ideas, and disagreed, saying: "But he cultivated into a demon in the human world. It's not good to live alone in the mountains..."

Ji Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Then what do you mean?"

Hua Zhuo thought for a while, "Why don't we bring him back to Qiujiang City?"

Ji Xiao paused for a moment, slowly rubbing the cup with his fingertips.

Listening to what Hua Zhuo means... Could it be that he wants to keep Tao Lin by his side to raise him?

Frowning, Ji Xiao stared at him, "You really think so?"

Huazhu was puzzled, "...can't it?"

Ji Xiao was silent for a moment.

Both he and Hua Zhuo are men, and although he has not considered the issue of offspring, he will definitely not have a child of his own in the future... If Hua Zhuo really wants to raise one, it is fine.

After thinking about it, Ji Xiao agreed solemnly, "That's fine."

Hua Zhuo looked at his expression strangely, and continued: "Okay, then it's settled. Let's find some time later and ask the national teacher if we can keep Tao Lin with him."

Ji Xiao paused, "Master?"

"Yes." Hua Zhuo thought about it for a while, and felt that this was the best solution at the moment, "That child is a demon, and his nature has not changed, and he is definitely not used to being with mortals. When he returns to the south of the Yangtze River, he will stay in Jiangxue Tower temporarily. Well...if the national teacher likes it, maybe he can be accepted as an apprentice."

Hua Zhuo sensed that he was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xiao felt a little headache, and looked at him complicatedly, "It's nothing... I'll take it as it is, you want to raise him yourself."

Hua Zhuo was stunned for a while before he realized, he couldn't laugh or cry and said: "There are so many people in Wanqing Villa, how can I raise him?"

"Tao Lin is still so young and his magic power is not high. Now he may not even have a stable body shape, let alone hide his breath. If we let him stay in a crowded place, maybe someday he will be spotted by others. It turns out that it would be safer to stay in the mountains." Hua Zhuo thought, "Besides... I don't have any plans to raise children now."

"At least three years... no, within ten years, I don't want to raise it." Hua Zhuo added.

Ji Xiao raised his eyes and asked lightly, "Why?"

"I just don't want to have a baby." Hua Zhuo pursed her lower lip and said worryingly, "Fortunately, I don't know how to have a baby. If I could, I'm afraid I don't want to have a baby..."

"But it's not that I don't like children. If you want, we can talk about it a few years later. I just think that it's good for the two of us now..." Hua Zhuo didn't know what to think, her face turned red, "We never It's not long since we got married, if there is a child, wouldn't that be... very troublesome."

Ji Xiao paused for a moment when he heard this, unexpectedly he was thinking of this, and pursed his lips and said, "En."

Hua Zhuo coughed, and turned to think: "Then, I will ask Tao Lin later, if he is willing, I will talk to the teacher."

Ji Xiao nodded, but continued the topic just now, rubbing his knuckles and said: "I never thought about the child's problem, and I don't have to think about it in the future. Besides, after you say it, keeping it by my side...it is true get in the way."

Hua Zhuo choked, not knowing what to say.

Ji Xiao was still thinking, raised his hand and gently rubbed the corner of his unhealed lips, and said calmly: "If you are young, you can be bluffed, but when you grow up, you have to tie your hands and feet in front of him, which is full of trouble... yes Isn't that the reason?"

Hua Zhuo's face was slightly hot, and it took him a long time to squeeze out an "um".

Ji Xiao looked at the corner of his lips, and said lightly: "Have you taken any medicine today?"

A few days ago, because of the matter of the longevity bone, Hua Zhuo was tossed a lot by him, not only the lip was injured.But fortunately, he was originally an immortal body, so he recovered quickly, and didn't cause any serious problems, but he was still a little sore and uncomfortable.

Hua Zhuo murmured: "Not yet, but it's nothing serious, it's all right."

Hearing this, Ji Xiao got up, apparently intending to help him get the medicine, Hua Jue was a little startled, and quickly stopped him: "Wait, no, no need... I can come by myself later."

It wasn't just the corners of his lips that needed medicine... It was embarrassing to do such a thing in broad daylight.

Ji Xiao paused, but didn't care too much, "It's okay."

Hua Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Xiao said again: "Then you have a good rest, just tell the servants if you have something to do, don't get tired, I have to go to the city, I have to go first."

Hua Zhuo was taken aback, "Why do you still have to go to the city?"

He knew that Ji Xiao's original plan was to enter the city this morning, but now that Tao Lin and the Crimson Blood Stone are in their hands, it is equivalent to not only having the evidence of King Kuan's crime, but also breaking the Demon Cult's last delusion. Wang was no longer a threat to them, and Ji Xiao should not have to take this risk anymore.

But Ji Xiao said: "This matter is of great importance, it's better to investigate again to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Hua Zhuo was a bit reluctant, and stood up, "Then I will go too."

"No." Ji Xiao frowned, "Right now, the city is full of dangers, and there are people from King Kuan and the Demon Sect everywhere. It is a problem to enter the city, not to mention that what I want to visit now is King Kuan's mansion, what are you going to do?"

"But I stayed in the room for a few days and didn't go out." Hua Zhuo looked depressed and looked up at him, "Didn't you say you were going to investigate, then I shouldn't have a fight with them. It’s fine to follow you the same time as the next time, it’s just to relax..."

Ji Xiao knew that he was about to lose his temper again, so he glanced at him with dark eyes.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Hua Zhuo felt that there was something to be done, so he continued: "Besides, you are so strong in martial arts, you can't take me alone..."

Ji Xiao interrupted him and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable if you don't cling to others for a day?"

Hua Zhuo choked, and after hesitating for a while, he didn't refute, but nodded cruelly.

Unexpectedly, he would admit it so bluntly, Ji Xiao suddenly didn't know what to say to him, he felt a little hard to explain, he was silent for a moment, and finally he had no choice but to compromise, "Forget it... you should take the medicine first, and I will take you there later." That's right."

Hua Zhuo coughed, touched her nose, nodded and turned to look for medicine.

Now that Kuanyun City is no longer allowed to enter and exit at will, Ji Xiao changed his face this time for spying, and took him to find a hidden place to climb into the city wall.

Right now the atmosphere in the city is tense, ordinary people will not go out unless necessary, and if patrolling officers and soldiers encounter suspicious-looking people, they will stop them for questioning.So Ji Xiao took him to avoid the crowded streets, and took a small path to the vicinity of Kuan Wang's Mansion.

"Why don't you fly over from the roof?" Hua Zhuo had seen a lot of martial arts scripts sold at the book stalls on weekdays, and she was quite thinking about it.

That kind of thing can only be done in the dead of night, and now it is daytime, and it is ostentatious to shuttle on the roof.But Ji Xiao didn't answer in that way, he glanced at him lightly, "Want to try?"

Hua Zhuo nodded, and Ji Xiao picked him up, easily jumped onto the high wall in front of him, and jumped from the top of the wall to the ridge of the roof very quickly.

There was a gust of wind in her ear, and before she could see the surrounding scenery clearly, Hua Jue felt that she had crossed the courtyard.A narrow street runs across the courtyard wall, Ji Xiao did not hesitate at all, flashed past behind a group of patrol soldiers, and quietly appeared in another courtyard.

This series of actions only took a few breaths of effort, Hua Zhuo was stunned, looked around, and asked, "Where is this?"

"Prince Kuan's Mansion." Ji Xiao put him down.

Hua Jue was a little confused, "This, this is coming in?"

Ji Xiao was noncommittal.

He had seen the map of King Kuan's Mansion before he came, and he was quite familiar with the road here, so he took the flower and went straight to King Kuan's west courtyard.Although Kuanyun City was heavily guarded, there were not many guards and servants in Kuanwang's mansion. As usual, there were not too many guards, and it was lax in terms of the current situation.

A strange feeling flashed in Ji Xiao's heart, and he easily pulled him around to the roof of King Kuan's bedroom.

There was no servant in the entire courtyard, someone was talking inside the house, Huazhuo couldn't hear anything on the roof, but Ji Xiao could vaguely distinguish the voices of the two, but the specific content was unknown.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, a man in black and toga came out from the house. It was the Demon Cult wizard.

Judging from his steps, it seemed that this wizard didn't know martial arts at all.The other person in the room didn't come out, so Ji Xiao held the flower pot to keep a distance, followed that person secretly, all the way to a remote courtyard.

For some reason, there was not a single servant near this yard. After that person entered the house, there was no movement. Ji Xiao asked Hua Zhuo to stay outside, and he pushed the door directly to enter.

The room is not big, and the furnishings in the house are clear at a glance, but there is no one there.

On the ground in front of the closet, there were a few drops of blood that had solidified.

Ji Xiao called Hua Zhuo in, and said in a deep voice, "There should be a secret passage behind this wardrobe. If you guessed correctly, this is the temporary residence of the Demon Sect that Tao Lin mentioned."

"Will this place... be connected to the casino?" Hua Zhuo guessed.

After all, there is only one street between King Kuan's Mansion and the Fireworks and Willow Lane. When Tao Lin described it, he only mentioned the underground of King Kuan's Mansion, not the casino... Maybe the underground of King Kuan's Mansion is the underground of the casino.

Ji Xiao said coldly: "It's possible."

Moreover, only such a large space can accommodate the activities of the entire Demon Cult's congregation.

Hua Zhuo said: "Then shall we go in now?"

Ji Xiao held his hand, "Follow closely."

Hua Zhuo nodded, a little nervous.

The mechanism in the house is not difficult to find, the secret door hidden behind the closet was quickly opened by Ji Xiao.As soon as the wall is opened, you can see the dark and long stairs leading straight down, and you can't see the bottom at a glance.

Ji Xiao pulled him to go in. As soon as he entered, the secret door behind him slowly closed, and the light in front of him became extremely gloomy and weak, leaving only the slightly shaking candles on the wall, which were dimly lit. of light.

From entering the secret passage, the blood on the ground gradually became more blatant, as if something was directly placed on the ground and dragged along the stairs all the way to the depths, leaving behind horrific traces.

The cold stone wall, the faint candlelight, the dried blood, and the narrow road that can't be seen at a glance, all made Hua Zhuo feel anxious.Feeling his stiffness, Ji Xiao shielded him behind his back, clenched his hands a little tighter, and walked slowly inside.

After descending the steps, there is still a gloomy dark passage in front of me. The blood on the ground has never been broken. It winds forward along the narrow passage, more and more thicker, and gradually, a bloody smell lingers in the nose. taste.

As the smell of blood became more and more pungent, Ji Xiao didn't dare to let Hua Zhuo go forward, stroked his back, and asked in a deep voice: "Stand here and don't move."

Hua Zhuo nodded stiffly.

Ji Xiao walked forward for a while until he reached the corner, where the bloody smell was already so strong that he was close at hand. When he went around the corner, he suddenly saw a few corpses randomly discarded in the corner.

Ji Xiao frowned, took a look to confirm that Hua Zhuo was still standing there, then slowly walked over there, narrowed his eyes slightly, and took a closer look at the faint fire light on the wall, his eyes instantly darkened.

The corpses in front of him, no more, no less, exactly six.

It was the group of hidden guards who escaped last night.

Entering the countdown to the end, there are probably five or six chapters left _(:з」∠)_
