"What are you doing?"

"I'll take you down the mountain to have some food and eat, okay?"

"Who would buy this? I'm not a child!"

"Then let me put it another way. I want to travel with you and have fun together. How about that?"

"Hmph, since you've said it so nicely, I'll just have to accompany you for a while..."

Taking the initiative to shake his hand, Luo Qingni finally smiled broadly and urged him to go down the mountain.

"Where did you and Xiao Jiang go? You have to take me with you too, do you hear me?"

"Okay, okay..."

~~

Unlike Jiang Xingchu who is "busy with all kinds of things", he doesn't have to make many arrangements.

After all, Fang Xiwen has been almost alone since leaving the capital, and the people he cares about the most are just a few:

The elder sister who always thinks she is the best in the world, the second sister who often falls into self-denial, Miss Wang who almost cuts off ties with her family because of him, and Lao Fang who finally doesn't have to be trapped to death in the capital, etc...

Since Fang Qingxiao's messaging service had been unusable for a while, when he was shopping with Luo Qingni, he stopped by the Sword Hall to mail a flying sword letter and sent a message to Wang Ningzhu:

[Fang: I have to explore a secret place during this period, so I can't leave. Please take care of yourself. If you have anything, you can go to Qing Xiao to discuss it. She has been at the mountain gate recently...]

[Ningzhu: Ha, this is enough for you, just go ahead and don’t worry.]

Even though we are thousands of miles apart, I can still seem to hear her hearty laughter.

Since unlocking the communication, the two rarely say words like "missing" during communication. Most of the chat records are either related to martial arts techniques or discussions of opinions.

It can be seen that Wang Ningzhu trusts his mind very much and often seeks advice from him when he is unsure about something.

"This thing is really good, it's like you're always by my side, talking to me at any time. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, just thinking about this makes me sleep more peacefully than usual, haha." This is what she said.

[Ningzhu: But I rarely see you being so serious. Where is the secret place? If you are not in a hurry, I can make time for it later and go with you.]

This proposal was tempting, but Fang Xiwen thought about it and decided to reject it.

With Fang Qingxiao's communication interrupted, she was the only one who could contact him from the outside world, so it was better for her to stay and be safe.

[Ningzhu: Okay, you have always been cautious in doing things, so I don’t have much to say. I just hope you come back safely. I will keep an eye on what’s going on outside for you.]

【Fang: Thank you. I love you. 】

As soon as the message was sent, his face turned red:

In the past when they didn't see each other often, Jiang Xingchu liked to ask him to send these things, so much so that now he sent them out as soon as he thought about it.

[Ningzhu: What's going on? Xiwen, you look a little weird.]

[Ningzhu: Ah, of course I don't dislike hearing this, but I'm a little surprised that you suddenly said this... Is it because the secret realm is too dangerous and you want to entrust your son to someone else? That shouldn't be possible... Anyway, I want to say that I'm very happy, really. ]

These three short words were unexpectedly destructive, as if one could see Miss Wang's panic.

After laughing secretly twice, Fang Xiwen decided to post like this in the future.

~~

She took Luo Qingni to visit all the streets and alleys, and took a boat ride along the Huaiyang River for a few laps - it wasn't any poetic scene, she was simply craving for the river crabs that had just been caught - after a whole day of this, she finally managed to satisfy her full stomach.

After sending her back to the Star Palace, Fang Xiwen went alone to make the last arrangement: meeting with the people from the Taoist sect.

Ever since he went to get the Mingde Sword last time, he had noticed that the attitude of this group of people - or rather, someone's attitude towards him, was clearly unusual.

"Mr. Fang, how could someone like you get involved with such a witch?"

"Could it be that you have been poisoned by some strange poison? If you are willing to tell me, my sect has many secret techniques that may be able to resolve it."

This time when they met again at the Taoist temple outside the city, Yan Shuyao asked the same question again, and he made a stern statement.

"No, I like Jiang Xingchu completely voluntarily. Even if we put this aside, I am willing to be close to Xinggong in terms of my stance. You may not know the truth of that year, but the previous generation must have heard about it."

As he spoke, he looked at the old man behind Yan Shuyao, who nodded imperceptibly.

The last time he took the sword, he did not explain his actions. He just turned around and left after getting it, just to lead to this second meeting.

It was also because he now had a certain status. After he showed this attitude, the Taoist sect quickly sent him a visiting card and asked him to meet at a Taoist temple outside Huaiyang City.

Three people from the Taoist sect came. In addition to Yan Shuyao and Li Tianxuan who led the trouble last time, there was also an elder from the outer scene realm.

The last experience must have made them smarter, knowing that Fang Xiwen would "bully the weak with his strength" and intimidate him.

"But I've never heard anyone in the sect say that..." Yan Shuyao glanced at the old man.

"If you can't accept this premise, there's no need to discuss what comes next."

"Ah!"

There was a statue of the Emperor of Heaven standing in the dojo. Li Tianxuan had been standing in front of it since the beginning of the conversation, as if he was doing some kind of intimidation. After hearing his words, he snorted heavily.

He will never forget the humiliation Fang Xiwen brought upon him that day. In front of many fellow disciples, he broke his power with one punch and his defense with one sword, and the Mingde sword was inserted three inches beside his neck;

What was even more insulting was that Yan Shuyao even smiled and put the sword away - she even put it into her own scabbard.

"Shuyao, I have long said that this person has fallen into the devil's way. Jiangzhou's rescue was just a self-directed performance..." "Don't whisper in secret in front of me."

boom!

A fist hit the unknown empty space, and invisible ripples spread out, breaking the whispers. Fang Xiwen pointed to his ears, "I also have a rough understanding of music."

"Okay then, Tianxuan and Elder Li, please go out first. I will come and talk to Young Master Fang." Yan Shuyao said calmly.

"I'm leaving? Are you crazy?" "As long as you can't let go of your prejudice, it will be hard for you two to communicate. You will only cause more trouble if you stay here."

Seeing this, Li Tianxuan wanted to argue a few more words, but he saw the old man in Taoist robes had already walked out, so he could only swallow his words angrily, "You guys take care of yourself!"

After the loud slam of the door, the dojo returned to its original tranquility.

The two moved to the stone table nearby. Fang Xiwen poured her a cup of tea and said, "Miss Yan is quite courageous. I am sorry for my disrespect."

"No need to say nice words, I know what Young Master Fang wants to know."

"Oh?"

"You suspect that someone is behind us, trying to provoke a war," Yan Shuyao sipped her tea and shook her head gently, "but this is a misunderstanding."

Fang Xiwen added it to her again without making any noise, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"In fact, investigating the anomaly in Huaiyang was not our main purpose... At the beginning, the mission we received was just to find someone."

This girl was surprisingly easy to talk to, and after a few words, she explained the whole story. Fang Xiwen's expression became interesting.

According to Yan Shuyao, the reason why Xuanxiao Sect is so concerned about the events here is because a heavyweight figure disappeared here and suddenly there was no news.

"That is the Xuanxiao Sect's Sect Master, the disciple of the Ancient Taoist. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next Sect Master."

Sighing heavily, Yan Shuyao said: "Whether he is alive or dead, we must find him."

"Understandable."

From the sect's point of view, it's okay if the person dies. But if the soul falls into the hands of a demon, and after a series of torture, the sect's fundamental magic is revealed, that would be really troublesome.

"But why are you the ones investigating?"

"It's inconvenient to make this public. Xinggong has recently stepped up its security. Sending them to shoot outside will easily arouse their suspicion."

"It's just like that..."

So the arrogant performance before was just to cover up this main purpose?

Because she could sense that she wasn't lying, Fang Xiwen was almost silenced. What a brilliant idea.

Probably knowing what he was thinking, Yan Shuyao raised her sleeves to cover her face and drank another cup of tea.

After chatting for a few more sentences, he was about to leave when he heard the other party ask him to stay, "Young Master Fang, could you please also help keep an eye on the search?"

"me?"

Fang Xiwen paused and frowned.

If you want to help, you will definitely tell him the clues. There is no reason to refuse.

But why would the other party do this?

After looking at the girl again for a while, he nodded, "I'll try my best."

"Thank you. According to the Sect Master's deduction, Senior Brother was last seen near Tianyu Mountain. Here is a Taoist talisman that contains his aura..."

Chapter 465: Don’t Call Out

Thinking that men and women in the Taoist temple were in the same room, Li Tianxuan, who was driven out, couldn't help feeling a little upset.

In fact, before coming to Longchuan, he had some admiration for Yan Shuyao. Not only because of her outstanding appearance, but also because this woman had a cold face to everyone, which gave her a different kind of beauty.

But since the group was beaten up, a lot of things have changed.

"call!"

Just as he was thinking about it, a gust of wind suddenly rushed out of the dojo, blowing the main door wide open, and a man in a green shirt walked out with his hands behind his back.

His robes fluttered in the wind and his expression was cold, he looked like a master.

After walking out of the dojo, Fang Xiwen simply bowed to the elder of Xuanxiao Sect, then with a wave of his sleeves, he turned into a streak of light and left without any delay.

After a while, Yan Shuyao inside quickly chased out.

“Junior Sister Yan, did he do anything to you…” “Shh!”

Only when she saw the figure disappear into the horizon did Yan Shuyao put down her index finger from her lips, lowered her eyes, and said something to herself.

The sound was very soft, but Li Tianxuan still heard it. He clenched his fists tightly.

"If only I could have been born a few years earlier..."

~~

"I thought you would talk to that girl for a while."

On the way back to Xing Palace, a female voice suddenly sounded behind Fang Xiwen, so he pressed the escape light, turned around and looked back.

I saw that there was a woman behind him, where there was originally no one.

She was petite, and her height was only about the waist of Fang Xiwen, but her temperament was very mature. She looked up to talk to him, but she gave off a strong sense of oppression.
