Gu Jiuqing originally thought that there would inevitably be a conflict between them.
But she underestimated Cang Liyuan's influence. After they killed so many puppet guards, the woman was invited in as a distinguished guest.
The woman's name is Xiyin. Just as Gu Jiuqing expected, she is really a demon, but she is half-demon.
Xiyin's mother is a princess from Xiliang. Her father is unknown, but there is no doubt that he is a demon.
In Xiliang, if a brick is thrown, nine princesses can be killed among ten people.
Their status is not as noble as that of other countries. Their only existence value is to give birth to offspring, and it is best to give birth to offspring with pure blood.
One can imagine how Xiyin struggled to grow up in such an environment.
After learning this information, Gu Jiuqing really felt that it was understandable that she would hate the two races!
Moreover, regarding the indiscriminate disgust between the two races, she is considered a water master!
After the arrangements were made, Xiyin sent many maids to serve the two of them.
These maids are obviously puppets, but their every move is no different from that of ordinary people.
Gu Jiuqing could even hear their breathing and heartbeats. If she hadn't been able to sense the mysterious jade on these people, she would have thought that these were all people!
After placing the things, these puppets retreated and stood respectfully outside the door, waiting for their orders at any time.
Gu Jiuqing looked around and found that there seemed to be no particularly useful information, so he turned around and sat opposite Cang Liyuan.
In front of them, there were some exquisite snacks and seasonal fruits.
Gu Jiuqing picked it up and looked at it, and found that they were all real.
She picked up a piece and tasted it, and it tasted pretty good.
"Is this all made by puppets? The craftsmanship is comparable to that of an imperial chef!" Gu Jiuqing sighed sincerely.
"Xiyin and Meng Xianqing are both geniuses in this field. The puppets made by them can almost look real." Cang Liyuan said, "This is why Li Yanhua chose to keep them despite all opinions."
"Did the result lead to a wolf entering the house?" Gu Jiuqing said casually.
"That's right! But Li Yanhua is not a kind person. The two of them suffered a lot under this person. Especially Xiyin! It's strange that they don't rebel!" Cang Liyuan said, and then took a sip of tea. .
The next moment, Cang Liyuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Sensing something unusual about him, Gu Jiuqing cast a questioning look at him.
Cang Liyuan shook his head, but put down the teacup and stopped drinking.
"Li Yanhua is to blame." Cang Liyuan said.
Gu Jiuqing understood what he said.
I heard Cang Liyuan say before that the former city lord and his family died at the hands of the demon clan.
Therefore, he has an sworn hatred with the demon clan.
Unfortunately, Xiyin is a half-demon, so it’s strange that she can benefit from him!
After being tortured for a long time, Xiyin will only resist harder.
"What will you do next?" Gu Jiuqing asked again, "Do you want to save the former city lord?"
"No help." Cang Liyuan said without hesitation, "There is no need to worry about this matter. It happens to be the Puppet Masters Association meeting recently, so we can enjoy the excitement in this city."
Gu Jiuqing didn't believe that he stayed here just to watch the excitement, but she didn't say much.
After all, this is someone else’s territory, and walls have ears!
The City Lord's Mansion is really huge. At a glance, you can see that there are lights and colorful decorations everywhere, which is comparable to the inner courtyard of the palace.
The scenery inside is not bad, but after nightfall, the mountain breeze is cool.
Cang Liyuan took her walking everywhere, but no one stopped her.
The garden is also filled with lanterns.
These lanterns are dotted among the trees, and the way they sway in the night wind is inexplicably weird.
The two stepped into the garden, crossed a path, and saw a familiar red figure.
This person is Xiyin.
At this time, she was not wearing a gauze scarf on her head, and her long silver hair was dancing in the wind, making her look as if she was about to fly away at any moment.
Hearing their movements, Xiyin turned around and looked at them.
Under the dim light, her eyes were particularly bright.
Paired with her snow-white skin, she looked a bit scary.
At this time, Xiyin spoke.
"You can stay." When she said this, her eyes fell on Gu Jiuqing.
Gu Jiuqing raised his eyebrows in surprise, smiled lightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, girl, but no need."
"There's no need to refuse in a hurry, you should think about it." Xiyin withdrew her gaze and said softly, "Here, those Xiliang people can't do anything to you. For you, this is the best destination. If you fall In their hands, the end will be miserable. Those people are already crazy for their blood!"
I almost forgot that she is also half of the blood of the Xiliang royal family.
Xiliang's approach of respecting blood really made Xiyin disgusted.
Gu Jiuqing naturally knew this, and he also understood Xiyin's good intentions.
"Thank you, I'll think about it." Gu Jiuqing said.
The coldness on Xiyin's face dissipated somewhat, and she turned to look at Cang Liyuan and said, "Is Yunding Hancui the intention of the King of Hezhen?"
"It doesn't fit." Cang Liyuan was also polite, "I don't like it."
"The prince's taste has changed a lot. It's such a pity for such good tea!" Xiyin smiled coolly and glanced at Gu Jiuqing, but that look was particularly meaningful.
What riddles are these two playing?
Gu Jiuqing thought about the strange behavior of Cang Liyuan when he was drinking tea today. He thought about the connection between him and the tea called "Yunding Hancui".
Cang Liyuan didn't say anything, but Xiyin sarcastically said: "People's hearts are always complex, and when we get along with others, we can never express our sincerity. It's better than these puppets, and we never have to worry about their betrayal. Miss Gu, are you right?"
"What Miss Xiyin said makes sense." Gu Jiuqing said, "But I like liveliness and popularity, but I can't get along with puppets."
"The excitement will eventually dissipate." Xiyin was talking when a man in white walked out of the darkness.
He looked like an ordinary person, but he was handsome. However, a deep scar on the side of his face diminished his appearance.
It's such a pity. It's like a beautiful gongbi painting has been scratched, and the beauty of the entire painting has been destroyed.
The man held a fiery red cloak in his hand. He walked up to Xiyin without looking away and put the cloak on her body.
"It's windy at night, be careful of catching a cold." The man said warmly.
"I'm not cold." Xiyin said coldly, "Monsters are not afraid of the cold."
"But you are also a human being." The man's voice was a little helpless. He raised his hand to tie her cloak, and then nodded slightly to Cang Liyuan and Gu Jiuqing as a greeting.
"This is Xianqing, Meng Xianqing." Xiyin introduced her to Gu Jiuqing, and then said to Meng Xianqing, "You came just in time. I was planning to take the two distinguished guests to Zhaixing Tower to have a look. Why don't you come with us!"
As soon as Xiyin finished speaking, Meng Xianqing's eyes overflowed with a smile that couldn't be concealed.
"Okay!" He nodded and immediately stood beside Xiyin.
The Star-Zhaing Tower is the tallest building in the city lord's mansion.
Gu Jiuqing looked up and saw the tall building covered with lanterns at a glance.
Lighting so many lanterns at once, and without modern electrical facilities, shows that this is a huge project.
Just as they were thinking about whether they had something or not, the group soon arrived at the Star Reaching Tower.
Standing on it, you can have an unobstructed view of the city below.
In this dark mountain forest everywhere, only this city, like a pearl in the dark night, looks particularly dazzling.
Gu Jiuqing looked into the distance, but suddenly realized that something seemed not right in this city.
