Helianzhou.

After explaining his identity and purpose to the monks on the border defense line, an elder from the Qin family came forward to welcome Lan Chucui.

This clan elder was the one who led the other clan elders to kill the Ghost-winged Falcon.While telling Lan Chucui about what happened that day, he led Lan Chucui to the place where the Su brothers and sisters were resettled.

The two walked against the wind in mid-air, Lan Chucui casually glanced at the city below, and suddenly felt something was wrong, so she asked:
"Is your Qin family's mansion located in the outskirts?"

The clan elder cupped his hands and said: "My negligence, I forgot to tell my friends that we are going to the Qin family's newly built mansion, not the old mansion in Qincheng. The new mansion is at the junction of Helianzhou and Changyuzhou. Adjacent to the Qingsha River, there is still some distance from here."

Lan Chucui froze for a moment, thoughtful.

"Chang Yuzhou, Qingsha River, so to speak... Patriarch Qin is really good at it."

She has a cold and beautiful appearance, and her words are also cold and sharp, which seems to be mocking at first glance.

But if you look closely, you will find the seriousness in her expression, and you can know that what her words express is the literal meaning, and there is no other meaning.

Therefore, the elder of the clan had a friendly face and said with a smile: "There are repeated animal swarms, and the people are restless day and night. Therefore, the head of the family proposed that the two states should be governed together, and that they should unite and fight against the enemy. Biao treated the people of the two prefectures equally, so he moved to the border of the two prefectures. Now the two prefectures have been merged and are collectively called Heyu."

Lan Chucui: "How do the local monastic forces in Changyu Prefecture express their stance?"

The clan elder's smile deepened: "In my Qin family, Huashen sits on the top, and the people below have the aspirations of the people, so...they volunteered to help the family manage Heyu Prefecture."

Lan Chucui pondered for a while, and said, "It's a dangerous move."

The clan elder nodded and remained silent.

On the bank of the Qingsha River, on the side of the original Changyu State, the Qin family's new residence is located here.

The clan elder invited Lan Chucui into the reception room, and then called a waiter to invite the Su brothers and sisters.

"The head of the family is dealing with affairs outside, and he already knows that you are here, and he sent back the news that he will return in a quarter of an hour. You can catch up with the two young friends of your sect first, and don't bother me."

The clan elders left, Lan Chucui sat in the hall for a while, Su Tian and Su Huan arrived.

The brother and sister were originally placed in a separate courtyard to recuperate. When they heard that the sect came to meet them, they were all overjoyed and rushed to follow the attendants.

The two saluted Lan Chucui, and Lan Chucui asked a few words about their recovery, and finally asked, "Have you ever met Patriarch Qin?"

Su Tian shook his head: "No, Patriarch Qin seems to be very busy and hasn't come back, but he ordered someone to deliver pills to us and tell us to have a good rest. Ah, the patriarch of the Qin family came to see us, and it also gave us peace of mind to heal our wounds. "

After finishing speaking, she showed anxiety, and said softly: "Senior Sister Lan, do my brother and I have to pay for the losses that my brother and I have caused to the Qin family? How much should we pay?"

Lan Chucui seemed a little speechless, frowned and said, "How could it be your two little disciples' turn to bear the calamity of monsters? The sect will come forward to explain this matter to the Qin family."

The brothers and sisters were relieved when they heard the words, Lan Chucui said again: "You guys tell me the situation before and after the attack of the ghost-winged falcon in detail."

"Yes!"

The two talked about the events of the day, and at the end of the day, a waiter suddenly announced that the head of the family had returned and was walking towards the reception room.

After a while, Qin Xinyao's figure appeared at the door.

Lan Chucui stood up.

"Patriarch Qin."

"Friend Lan."

Qin Xinyao smiled brightly, and turned to look at the Su family brothers and sisters.

"Did the two little friends rest well? Please forgive me if there is a lack of hospitality."

The two brothers and sisters stood behind Lan Chucui, and replied somewhat cautiously.

Lan Chucui expressed his apology and gratitude to the Qin family for the brothers and sisters. Qin Xinyao smiled and said, "It's because of their deep blessings that they were able to escape from the claws of the ghost-winged falcon."

Su Tian hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, it's all thanks to the treasure that Senior Sister Jing gave us..."

"Mirror Yingrong?"

"elder sister?"

Two voices sounded one after the other.

It was too late when Qin Xinyao realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and Lan Chucui's eyes stabbed towards her like a sharp knife.

"elder sister?"

Lan Chucui squinted her eyes, her tone was low and forceful, and she didn't restrain herself at all because the opponent's cultivation base was a big realm higher than her own.

The atmosphere became inexplicably depressing, and there seemed to be an invisible string quietly tensing between the two.The siblings over there looked at each other, not daring to vent their anger.

Qin Xinyao was puzzled by Lan Chucui's reaction, but her face was calm, and she quickly thought of a way to deal with it.

At this moment, the waiter's voice broke the deadlock:

"Patriarch, my lord is asking if you and your distinguished guests are dining at home or do you have other arrangements?"

Before Qin Xinyao could answer, Lan Chucui asked in surprise, "Master? Do you have a Taoist companion?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Qin Xinyao didn't understand why.

"...No, it's nothing."

Lan Chucui stuttered suddenly, her eyes wandering.

It seemed as if the spikes that had just opened were retracted, and the invisible string relaxed accordingly, and the atmosphere returned to normal.

Qin Xinyao looked at Lan Chucui, with a hint of thought in his eyes.

As if trying to cover up something, Lan Chucui immediately changed the subject and said, "The battle ahead is urgent, and I can't wait for a long time, so I'm leaving. If there is a chance in the future, I will come to bother you again."

Lan Chucui took the Su family brothers and sisters to return, but Qin Xinyao sent the three of them outside the gate and watched them leave.

"I know they don't have free time, but I didn't expect them to come and go in such a hurry."

Qin Hongzhi walked out of the courtyard and came to Qin Xinyao's side.

Did not hear Qin Xinyao's response, Qin Hongzhi turned his head to look, but saw Qin Xinyao was still looking at the direction where the three of them were leaving, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile that seemed both bewildered and delighted.

"What's the fun?" he asked.

Qin Xinyao looked back with a smile.

"My sister's life in Taichuguan seems to be more interesting than I imagined."

……

Black tides run across the land.

It spreads over meadows, through forests, over lakes and highlands, day and night, with no direction.

Until you encounter the huge maze.

The strangely shaped peaks and valleys construct a mysterious area, which is twists and turns, uneven and scattered, so dark that it seems to swallow the sun.

The clear and ethereal bells sounded occasionally from the depths of the maze, carrying some kind of strange power, luring the creatures to move forward.

The tide was rushing faster, suspiciously bewitched by the ringtone, and sent to the door one after another.

They go deep into the maze, dizzy, and unconsciously there is no way out.At the same time, other sounds covered by the ringtone gradually emerged.

The sound of Xiao, flute, qin, drum; pipa, jade chime, konghou, tooth sheng.

The sounds of different musical instruments played in different directions of the maze.The weird mountains superimposed and magnified the music, and the power contained in the music multiplied, and eventually became a piece of killing weapon.

The monsters either killed each other, fell unconscious, or exploded to death.Even the flying monster birds were cut down by the music that reached the sky.

This labyrinth built with mountains and rivers as its walls is like a terrifying giant mouth, swallowing flesh and blood insatiably.
