The knife was placed on Mu Wan's shoulder, still far away from his pulse.
The crossbow was pointed directly at Shi Wuqi's head, but he didn't move. He was the first to notice the abnormality, but did not make it public. He was curious about what the two men who had been hiding in the grassy beach wanted to do when they approached them. It's impossible that Ye Yuejun didn't notice it, but she didn't say anything. Mu Wan, on the other hand, was so relaxed when she was with Ye Yuejun that she felt something was wrong at this point.
"Shi would be grateful if Hazuki-kun asked your partner to greet you in a normal way."
"Sorry." Mr. Ye Yue smiled along with him, "Stop making trouble, they are not evil people."
The sword on Mu Wan's shoulder was neatly sheathed, and the crossbow behind Wu Qi paused for a while. The string of this crossbow is taut and may let go at any time. The two men put away their weapons, walked to Ye Yuejun, and dropped two handfuls of branches.
"There aren't many trees here, and it's even harder to find ones that can be burned." The man said, "Ah, you guys are so offended."
"Qinglan? Huailan?" Dai Luan couldn't believe that she would see them here, "Why are you here?"
Tang Huailan sat directly next to Mu Wan, which made Mu Wan very concerned. Tang Qinglan sat next to her, getting closer to Miss Qi. Shi Wuqi took Ah Qi over there and said nothing because Shanhai and Ah Luan knew them.
"I introduced these two disciples of the Tang Sect to you." Shan Hai smoothed things over, "I met them at Zanglan Hai."
"Every time I see the Tang family, nothing good happens." Wu Qi smiled sarcastically, "I heard that the treasures in your library were also stolen? By my own family."
Tang Qinglan patted the dust on his hands and said, "Originally, he could have belonged to his own family, but he is no longer."
In case these people started arguing without a few words, Ye Yuejun took the conversation away.
"I took the initiative to find these two friends. They have no blood relationship with the Tang family, and they have nothing to do with the main disciples. They are directly under the command of one of the hall masters, Tang Huansheng. He has sent them twice to fight with Tang He Contact, but in the end got a self-defeating result..."
Hazuki-kun's words didn't seem particularly polite. But from the faces of Qinglan and Huailan, there is no enthusiasm to protect the reputation of the sect. Maybe they really don't care, and Ye Yuejun knows that they don't care, so he dares to say so.
"Why did the Tang family send them here again and again?" Shan Hai asked, "And are you sure that that person will visit Cuipingtan?"
"This is inevitable. Lord Xueyue knows that the incense burner has spread here, so he will definitely let him come."
"We originally thought that if we couldn't find it, we would go back to Xueyan Valley and ask Yun Waijing." Dai Luan was a little happy, "I didn't expect that it would take no effort at all... Ah, I'm afraid there will be another fight. I'm still I want to go back and see Xiao Liang, it would be great if he could come."
"Little sister, you are very open-minded." Qinglan joked, "It's so enviable to be so carefree."
"I also have to worry about a lot of things, okay? Hey, you haven't said it yet, why are you doing this mission again? Do you still want to kill Tang He?"
Dai Luan spoke bluntly, and Mu Wan turned his head to look at them again. Shan Hai had said that they had a reputation at Zuo Renmen, and now under the firelight you could clearly see their collars, which were still stacked in the same way. Both of them are very young, but they have a kind of sophistication unique to them who have been in the world for many years. The texture of the arm muscles, the style of the clothes, and the weapons on the body all convey a unique sinister look. No matter how happy Zongtang Qinglan's face is, and no matter how calm Huailan's heart is, he can't hide his bloody hands.
She doesn't like this kind of family sect very much. There are overt and covert struggles inside and out, and it's very complicated. I can't relax even at home. I have to be very careful compared to going out. It's too tiring. But she also remembered Dai Luan saying that they were orphans and it was not easy to have a place to stay.
The expressionless Huailan knew that Mu Wan had been looking at her. She took out half a cake from her arms and asked seriously:
"Do you want to eat?"
"No, you misunderstood...forget it, I'm not hungry."
Well, I'm actually a little hungry after not eating all this time. But once the words have been released, it is impossible to take them back.
"If the two of us join forces, we can fight him evenly. But this time our order is not like that." Tang Qinglan wiped the knife and said, "What we have to do is to retrieve the Night Screaming Stone. Killing him can be It is a means, but not the result. Although it is not safe to reveal the purpose of the mission, since the superiors did not say to keep it secret, I will tell you."
"Then one day, we will be able to fight each other with swords." Shi Wuqi folded his hands on his face with a smile, and said boredly, "I thought that we have a common enemy, and maybe we can temporarily become friends. Become an alliance."
"Oh, don't say that. When the time comes, we still hope you can help us, hahaha..."
Dealing with people is probably what Tang Qinglan is good at and likes. If it weren't for the restriction of his status, he might be able to have both sides of the world and prosper. In comparison, Tang Huailan was taciturn and more like a natural killer.
The killer is eating pie.
Shanhai's impression of her was that of being stern, and in fact she had been carrying out this impression. He and Mu Wan looked at her at the same time, and could read the caution in her every move. The eyes are not completely lowered, and the sitting posture is ready to stand up at any time, always alert to the people behind you. But if she puts aside these things and talks to people politely, she would actually be very lovable, but she doesn't do that.
"Each one depends on his ability." Shi Wuqi finally said.
Ye Yuejun wants to patrol the entire Cuiping Beach at night. She and the geese circled twice in the sky and soon disappeared. She said she would be back before dawn and hoped that the two groups of people would get along well and avoid any trouble. But as soon as she left, the fake smiles on everyone's faces disappeared in an instant, and no one paid any attention to anyone else. Even during breaks, the campfire is the centerpiece, drawing an invisible boundary.
In the middle of the day, Tang Qinglan asked in a low voice: "Do you want to rest?"
"You're not sleepy yet," Huailan said, "You go to bed and I'll keep watch."
"I can't sleep if you don't sleep."
"Forgot the rules?"
"Okay, okay, I'll sleep, I'll sleep."
Tang Qinglan removed the barrier knife and handed it into her hand. She walked towards the stone near the bonfire, leaned against it and closed her eyes.
Opposite the bonfire, Shi Wuqi stood guard for a while, preparing to wake up Shanhai. Mu Wan woke up suddenly and said no need, just let her come. So Wu Qi told her that she was running out of firewood and had to add some more. She nodded and said she would look for it later.
Tang Huailan heard that his partner's breathing had become calmer, so he stood up, stretched his muscles and took a few steps outside. Her footsteps were not audible even on the grass.
Before she walked too far, she raised her hand holding the sword and took a deep breath, as if embracing the night. She couldn't be too far away. The rules of the sect required the distance between resting companions. During breaks, if there are more than three people, more than half of them must keep watch, while for teams of two people, there is a strict rotation system. There is some sound of water ahead. She glanced back, the distance seemed to be over. After hesitating for a moment, she walked forward. Under the moonlight, she saw Mu Wan squatting in front of a ditch, fetching water with a ladle.
"What are you doing?"
Mu Wan didn't hear her voice at all and was so frightened that she almost fell into the water. Looking back, she was a little unhappy:
"Of course I'm fetching water, can't you understand?"
"Are you thirsty?"
"What else? Am I hungry?"
That being said, she was actually quite hungry. But the others weren't hungry for some reason, and she didn't want to wake them up by digging through their luggage in the middle of the night, so she had to stay away and drink more water. It would be too embarrassing to just say that he woke up from hunger.
Maybe people tend to have a bad attitude when they are hungry. Thinking of the piece of cake before, Mu Wan softened his attitude and continued:
"We'll look for firewood later."
"There is nothing in this area. We have brought all the dead branches that can be used. We have enough firewood until midnight, but it is the coldest before sunrise."
Mu Wan stood up and looked at her. Under the moonlight, Huailan's calm and serious eyes were quite beautiful. In the past, she would have been happy to make friends. It's just that on the one hand, she has some prejudice against Huailan's origin, and on the other hand, after everything she has experienced in the past, it is difficult for her to trust anyone again.
So she just responded silently: "Yeah."
Both of them were stuck here, and neither of them had any intention of going back first. The night wind blew over, making their hair and clothes sway. Mu Wan looked at Tang Huailan's cold face, the moonlight spilled into her eyes, and fell into the bottomless place.
"That Shi Wuqi is not someone who just gives up." Mu Wan still reminded her, "We will also help him. I don't know how to use that night crying stone, thinking that if I get it, we may be able to communicate. , I’ll return it to you when I’m done with it.”
"Crying stones at night is not important." Tang Huailan said, "The order was not given by the person who gave it the previous two times."
"...I heard that your Tang family's internal work arrangements are clear and there are various classes. Aren't you taking orders from a certain hall master? Have you been transferred this time?"
"According to the original hall master's opinion, he will not send us on this mission again. But...the head of the Tang Sect is very suspicious and is afraid that he will recruit too many disciples who are not related to the Tang family and collude with the Zuojin Sect in order to create another Establishing a family. We were the first ones he adopted. We raised him single-handedly and couldn’t find excuses to leave. The rest were slowly replaced by the superiors. Now the two of us have also been seconded, dispatched on the grounds that we are familiar with this person’s behavior. We are on a mission. But speaking of it...I believe he is the most loyal."
"... You above are trying to take some time out of this Hall Master. If he really wants the Tang family to be well-off, it's probably because his influence has hindered others, and they don't want him to be well-off. Speaking of which, eating your bowl of rice is really a big deal. On the waistband. Every mission carries the risk of losing one's life. Life and death are in and out, and you don't know when it will end."
"No. I wanted to treat this mission as my last..."
"Do you want to leave?" Mu Wan frowned, "It seems difficult to get out of that kind of place, especially the master's house."
"Yes. The worst-case scenario I thought was to outlast my life and wear the old man to death."
"It's also a way."
After that, Tang Huailan shut his mouth tightly, as if he didn't intend to say anything more. Perhaps for her, she had said enough tonight.
"It's too late, go back and rest."
"Um."
