Chapter 298

When Qin Xinyao returned to the mansion, she saw Qin Hongzhi waiting in front of the gate from afar.

She fell to the ground and said with a smile, "Why did you come out and wait for me today?"

Qin Hongzhi smiled and said nothing, and took off the gorgeous and complicated outer robe for her, revealing the light and capable clothes inside, with a purple bell swaying gently around his waist.

"You have been away for a long time, how is it, have you encountered any trouble?"

"It's going well. I beat a few disobedient ones, pushed the defense line to the south by [-] miles, and expanded the buffer zone. For the time being, there is no need to worry about the beast horde invading Helianzhou."

"That's good, it's not in vain for you to suffer. I heard that the Zhou family and the Bai family advocated merging into a monastic sect for protection, and I was worried that they would hinder you."

"They really instigated several other families to jump out, huh, they thought there was nothing I could do in Chang Yu State," Qin Xinyao sneered, "But I don't know that what I'm waiting for is this group of fools who will come out on their own."

Qin Hongzhi laughed and said, "It seems that Helian and Chang Yu will be reunited soon."

"That's right!"

Qin Xinyao raised her chin, she smiled brightly, she was full of air, she didn't look like a dragon and a tiger when facing the heads of other aristocratic families.

Qin Hongzhi looked at her with a smile, then lowered his head, trying to cover up the widening smile, but she still noticed it.

"I've thought you're weird since just now," Qin Xinyao leaned in front of him, "Could it be that you have some surprise for me?"

Qin Hongzhi simply didn't hold back anymore, and said, "Is it a surprise that the old man returns?"

"Old friend?" Qin Xinyao was momentarily at a loss.

Qin Hongzhi raised his fingers and plucked the purple bell around her waist.

Qin Xinyao was taken aback for a moment, then opened her eyes in disbelief, and lost her voice: "Yes—"

Qin Hongzhi: "In your 'old place'."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xinyao disappeared.

In that secluded small courtyard back then.

Jing Yingrong stood under a towering tree.This tree was not so tall before, there used to be a small soil bag under the tree, in which a small body slept.

White clouds and gray dogs, the years have changed, the soil is covered with knotted roots, and the lost life turns into green leaves on the branches, which rustle when the wind blows.

Jing Yingrong bent down, picked up a small azure stone from the gap between the roots of the tree, held it in her hand and rubbed it lightly.

She suddenly felt something, and looked up at the courtyard gate, and the next moment she was thrown into the arms of someone who came.

"elder sister!"

Jing Yingrong stroked Qin Xinyao's hair, "Yes."

……

The furnishings in the room are the same as they were back then, and because of the maintenance of the formation, everything is as new as yesterday.

The only difference is that there is an extra tea set on the table.Qin Xinyao saw that Jing Yingrong's gaze paused slightly on the tea set, so she said, "Sometimes I have troubles these years, so I would come here to sit."

She brewed a pot of tea with ease, poured a cup for herself and Jing Yingrong respectively.Jing Yingrong held the cup in both hands, felt the warmth of the tea, and stared at Qin Xinyao's face through the curling white mist.

Her face was the same as before, her eyes were bright and full of stars, but her demeanor added a bit of majesty, making her appear a little more mature.

"Sister, do you still want to go when you come back this time?" She asked softly.

Jing Yingrong took a sip of tea and nodded.

Qin Xinyao wasn't surprised, but she couldn't help showing a hint of disappointment.

Jing Yingrong: "Do you miss me very much?"

Qin Xinyao said without thinking, "Of course! I miss you so much."

Jing Yingrong: "Why don't you use it to contact me?"

The so-called "it" refers to the purple bell.

Qin Xinyao didn't answer immediately, she lowered her head and smiled, and said, "Actually, at the beginning you said you were going to visit Taichu, and I sent someone to secretly collect information about you, but I didn't expect you to hide your cultivation and worship as a disciple. It is also promoted to the inner sect. I thought you might have some important things to do, and I was afraid of disturbing you and delaying your business, so I have been refraining from using it."

Jing Yingrong tilted her head: "I don't have anything important."

She then recounted the opportunity for her to enter the Absolute Beginning Meditation, and Qin Xinyao couldn't stop giggling after hearing this.

"It turned out to be like this. If I had known, I would have called you back every day."

She joked pretending to be annoyed, and then asked, "Then how long can you stay this time?"

Jing Yingrong: "Just look at you, it won't be long."

Qin Xinyao was a little surprised: "Could it be that you came here specially to see me?"

Jing Yingrong nodded her head: "Yes."

Qin Xinyao was slightly taken aback, and then a bright smile burst into her cheeks.

Jing Yingrong was sipping tea, and when she saw this, she bent her mouth, which made Qin Xinyao stunned.

She didn't know what to think of, and there was a touch of emotion in her eyes.

"Sister, you must have encountered a lot of interesting people and things in Taichuguan, can you tell me about it?"

"it is good."

……

According to the news released by Ren Cen that day, since the outbreak of the beast tide, masters from various sects have come out one after another. Ke Changmiao is cautious by nature. In order to avoid the limelight, he simply retreated into one of his many caves.In order to please him, Ren Cen deliberately kidnapped mortals and sent them to his cave for his pleasure in torture and killing.

The cave is located in the belly of an unnamed mountain, and its location is extremely hidden. There are no large monk organizations around it, and only a few unowned mortal villages are scattered here and there.Probably because he was afraid of revealing his whereabouts, Ke Changmiao did not attack these villages.

Dashan is very far away from the Wufeng Sword Sect, but much closer to Changhuan Mansion. Even so, Huo Xiumao is still very anxious. The people sent by the Wufeng Sword Sect will definitely not be weaker than Ke Changmiao. The speed must be far beyond his comparison.

In order to rush there as soon as possible, not long after departure, Huo Xiumao bit the bullet and asked Yin Xueze to take him to fly together.He was already prepared to be rejected, but he never thought that Yin Xueze would reach out and grab his shirt on the back without saying a word, as if he was carrying a big cloth bag, followed by an acceleration.

Yin Xueze has a higher level of cultivation and is good at speed. Even if he brings more people, the consumption of spiritual power will only increase, and he will not slow down much. This makes Huo Xiumao very grateful.

The two traveled day and night, and Yin Xueze had no time to adjust his breath. On the way, he only supplemented his spiritual power with pills, and also used foreign objects such as talismans, trying to shorten the time of the journey to the shortest possible time.

"Junior Brother Yin, we are not far from there, should we..."

Huo Xiumao looked at the map in his hand and asked.He originally wanted to ask if he should stop to find out the situation first, so as not to startle the snake, but before he finished speaking, the force pulling him on his back suddenly changed direction, and the scene in front of him changed instantly. When he came back to his senses, he and Yin Xueze were already around At the top of a dangerous peak.

Yin Xueze's face was stern, his eyes were downcast, and his expression was extremely focused.Huo Xiumao realized something, immediately restrained his breath, and waited patiently.

"Someone is fighting."

Yin Xueze said in a low voice.

Huo Xiumao became impatient immediately: "Is it Ke Changmiao and the Wufeng Sword Sect?"

"How do I know?" Yin Xueze frowned and glanced at him, continuing to perceive the spiritual changes in the world with his spiritual sense.

Huo Xiumao immediately understood that it was caused by the distance. Both of them were not good at the way of divine consciousness. Although Yin Xueze could detect abnormalities in the distance from the fluctuation of spiritual energy, it was not enough to obtain more information.

After only a moment, Yin Xueze's face suddenly changed:
"coming!"

Almost as soon as he opened his mouth, Huo Xiumao reacted instantly, a small flag appeared in his hand, and after he waved it vigorously, he saw a dome shield propped up where the two were.The protective shield covers the two people like a bowl turned upside down, and no one can be seen from the outside.

At the same time, a figure flew over the two of them extremely quickly, but after flying not far away, the figure slowed down, and Huo Xiumao was able to see the other party's appearance and clothing clearly.

The man's appearance perfectly coincided with the vague memory in his mind and Ren Cen's blood book description.

It was Ke Changmiao who was right.

At this time, Ke Changmiao had no demeanor of returning to the void. He was covered in blood, his left arm disappeared from the shoulder down, and a large hole was opened in his abdomen. The flesh and blood in the wound squirmed and tried to heal, but was cut and sharpened by invisible forces, making the wound It's getting worse.

Ke Changmiao looked back frequently while flying, with a face full of horror, as if there was some kind of life-threatening thing chasing from behind.
