"Brother Ye Xun, don't worry, Tan'er is sensible."
But Ye Xun's expression still looked eager.
"Tan'er, brother Ye Xun understands your kindness, but Xingyue Jianmen's help from uncle and senior Xie is enough to deal with Beicheng."
Qu Tan'er looked at Ye Xun with a hint of resentment in her eyes. Just as she was speaking, Ye Yun in the front hall suddenly spoke: "Miss Qu, your kindness is understood by Ye Xun, but Xun'er is right, Xingyue Sword Sect With the help of two old friends in Ye, we can deal with the danger in Beicheng."
"My surname is Ye, our young lady condescended to come here. I want to help you deal with Beicheng with good intentions. I didn't expect you to be so ignorant and dare to refuse my young lady. You must know that in the world, there are only sects that can get the active help of our Demon Palace. , I can count them on one hand.”
Seeing Qu Tan'er being rejected one after another, Xue'er, who was protecting her eagerly, suddenly spoke up, pointed at Ye Yun and started to spray.
"Xiaoxue, shut up!"
Qu Tan'er scolded him quickly, but Ye Xun's expression turned extremely ugly at this moment.
"Brother Ye Xun, don't worry. Xiaoxue doesn't understand the rules and bumped into Senior Ye. Tan'er apologizes for her."
"Miss……"
Qu Tan'er's expression suddenly turned cold and she glared at Xue'er.
Xueer quickly lowered her head, not daring to say another word.
"Brother Ye Xun, don't you think about it anymore? Do you really don't need Tan'er's help?"
Ye Xun sighed slightly. He understood why Qu Tan'er insisted on helping him. Maybe as Xie Wuji said, this Demon Palace Saint had some feelings for him.
But Ye Xun was afraid that this was the case. In his heart, he had made a three-year contract with Ye Xiaoxiao, so he no longer wanted to have any emotional involvement with her girl.
Moreover, at this time, Ye Tianxuan wanted to get engaged to Ye Jingyi, which made Ye Xun extremely upset.
"Tan'er, I know you are doing it for my own good and are worried about me, but now that Xingyue Sword Sect has the help of my uncle and senior Xie, it is really enough."
Qu Tan'er looked disappointed, but she didn't blame Ye Xun.
"Since Brother Ye Xun said so, Tan'er won't force it, but if Brother Ye Xun needs help in the future, feel free to come to Tan'er."
After saying that, Qu Tan'er gave a slight salute to Ye Yun, who was in the top position, and left Xingyue Sword Gate with Xue'er and Sun Gongtai.
Looking at Qu Tan'er's back, Ye Xun couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.
But at this moment, Ye Tianxuan's scolding sound suddenly came from behind Ye Xun, making Ye Xun tremble in fear.
"You brat, get over here and tell me how you got to know this little demon girl from the Demon Palace. She still held your hand in public. Is this worthy of Jingyi? Jingyi is about to get married. I am engaged to you, but you are still hooking up with other women, how unbecoming is it?"
Ye Xun's body trembled slightly. Ye Tianxuan was already over eighty years old, but his voice was still sonorous, powerful and loud.
Arriving in front of Ye Yun and Ye Tianxuan, Ye Xun motioned with his eyes to the Ming brothers to step aside temporarily, and then explained to Ye Tianxuan: "Uncle, I misunderstood, and Tan'er and I have only known each other for a short time, and there is no hookup."
"There's no hooking up, so why is she holding your hand?"
Ye Tianxuan asked.
Ye Xun suddenly hesitated, wondering why he didn't resist just now.
Ye Xun looked confused for a moment, and Ye Xun didn't know how to answer.
Ye Yun on the side suddenly heard: "Xun'er, how did you and Miss Qu know each other?"
Ye Xun did not answer immediately, but looked at Ye Tianxuan. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Ye Tianxuan scolding: "Look at what I'm looking at. If you don't answer quickly, how do you know this little witch?"
"Xun'er got into trouble in Qingshan and asked Yanzong to injure the disciples of Wangyue Sword Sect and Shenjian Sect. After sneaking down the mountain, he returned to Xingyue Jianmen. When passing Xuzhou City, he was attacked in the woods outside the city. Fu Hongxiao and Qin Ao's assassination, if Tan'er hadn't saved me at the critical moment, Xun'er might have been killed by the swords of Fu Hongxiao and Qin Ao that night."
Ye Xun explained the whole incident clearly. Since Ye Tianxuan knew that Qin Ao and Fu Hongxiao assassinated Ye Xun, he was not surprised by it. However, Ye Yun and Ye Jingyi were both shocked when they heard about it for the first time. .
Especially Ye Yun, whose only grandson almost died at the hands of the Divine Sword Sect and the Wangyue Sword Sect, immediately became furious and cursed Fu Hongxiao and Qin Ao for violating the moral principles of the world and actually killing their descendants.
The same was true for Ye Jingyi, but she was surprised that Ye Xun had such a life and death experience on the way home.
"I didn't expect that Moon Moon Sword Sect and Shenjian Sect would be so despicable. No wonder Miss Qu just said that there is no clear definition of good and evil."
Although Ye Yun sighed, the hatred shining in his eyes was still caught by Ye Xun.
"Xun'er, you have only met Miss Qu once, why is she so interested in you?"
Ye Xun shook his head: "Grandpa, actually Miss Qu and I met more than once. When we passed through Jinling last month, our grandson was captured by Sun Gongtai and Guangyao Sect Zhong Zixi. Although Nangong Sect Master and Senior Xie both risked their lives to save him, , but Tan'er took care of my future troubles, because after they found out that Tan'er and I knew each other, they no longer did anything to me."
"And a few days ago, Tan'er told me that Beicheng would attack us and asked me to take precautions. However, this matter was messed up by Sun'er, which almost made Xingyue Jianmen irrecoverable."
"But why Tan'er cares so much about her grandson, grandson doesn't understand. But grandson can guarantee that grandson has nothing to do with her. At most, he is just a friend."
After listening to Ye Xun's story, Ye Jingyi, a woman on the side, immediately understood why Qu Tan'er was like this. This was a sign of liking.
It's just that she doesn't understand why this superior Demon Palace Saint likes Ye Xun who is not good enough?
Is it because of Ye Xun's good looks?
Ye Jingyi soon denied this, because in her eyes, Ye Xun's appearance could only be regarded as ordinary.
"Do you really have nothing to do with her?" Ye Tianxuan asked.
Ye Xun nodded heavily: "It's absolutely true. My grandson dare not deceive his uncle."
"Then I will trust you once, but please don't meet her again in the future. Firstly, it's for Jingyi's sake, and secondly, because the Demon Palace belongs to the evil sect after all, and it's not appropriate for us to deal with them."
"Xun'er understands." Ye Xun nodded slightly.
The atmosphere gradually relaxed, and Ye Tianxuan was no longer as angry as before, but he still cared about the behavior of Wang Yue Sword Sect and Divine Sword Sect.
Taking steps forward, Ye Tianxuan pushed Ye Yun slowly towards the back hall. As he walked, Ye Tianxuan comforted him: "I know my friend is concerned about Xun'er being assassinated, but don't worry, my friend, we will wait until the Six Sects Conference held by the Qi Yun Sword Sect. After it’s over, I will personally take Xun’er to go to these two factions to seek justice.”
"Thank you, old friend."
The figures of the two old men were gradually moving away. At this time, there were only Ye Xun and Ye Jingyi in the front hall. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward again, and neither of them spoke.
A long time passed, but Ye Jingyi was the first to break the deadlock. After coughing, she asked Ye Xun, "Do you like Qu Tan'er?"
"ah?"
Regarding this question, Ye Xun was a little confused for a while.
"Why do you ask that?"
"ah?"
Ye Jingyi was also a little confused about Ye Xun's rhetorical question, because she didn't even know why she asked such a question, and the moment she asked it, she already regretted it.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Jingyi replied: "Because Qu Tan'er likes you."
Looking at Ye Jingyi, Ye Xun suddenly laughed: "What? Are you jealous?"
Ye Jingyi snorted coldly: "Am I jealous? I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet. As I said, my sweetheart must be an unparalleled hero, and you don't deserve it."
Ye Xun didn't care, and smiled to himself: "In that case, why do you care about whether she likes me or not? According to you, whether Qu Tan'er likes me or not has nothing to do with you."
"you……"
Ye Jingyi stomped her feet slightly: "I care about you, but you treat me like a donkey."
"Then why didn't I see that you cared about me, but instead meant to humiliate me?"
Ye Jingyi hummed: "Since ancient times, good and evil have always been incompatible. The Demon Palace is the leader of the evil sect, and Qu Tan'er is the saint of the Demon Palace, so I want to tell you that you are not suitable for each other."
Ye Xun said: "You should still care about yourself. It will be the New Year's Eve in a few days, and you will have to get engaged to me. Once that happens, you will become a member of my Ye family."
"Don't worry, I will definitely ask my grandfather to take back this decision before we get engaged."
After leaving these words, Ye Jingyi left here without looking back, leaving Ye Xun alone to reflect on Ye Jingyi's words.
Does Tan'er really like herself?
No longer entangled, Ye Xun replaced the Ming brothers and also headed towards the back hall. However, just after taking a few steps, he saw A Qing and Linghu Chong walking in in a hurry.
"Master."
"What is the result of the investigation? Both of them have been injured and should not be able to run far."
Linghu Chong said: "I'm afraid I will disappoint you this time. Ah Qing and I chased them in the direction they fled, but we found nothing along the way, not even the shadows of the two of them."
Ye Xun frowned: "How far did you chase them in total?"
"Ah Qing and I chased for more than 30 miles out of the city. After we couldn't see the two Red Demons, we changed direction and chased Ningyang City for more than 20 miles in the remaining three directions, but we still didn't gain anything."
"But we didn't give up, thinking that the two red demons must be hiding somewhere in the city, so we searched the city for several hours, but the result was still the same."
"It seems that Beicheng is being very careful." Ye Xun nodded and continued: "Since there is no gain, it means that Beicheng should not be underestimated. After a night of pursuit, you have also worked hard. Go down and rest first, and we will take your time later. investigation."
"Thank you, sir."
After Ah Qing and Linghu rushed down, Ye Xun sat down alone in the front hall and asked Mingyang to make a pot of tea for him. Ye Xun began to analyze.
It is impossible for Beicheng to sneak into Ningyang City without any movement this time. If this is the case, it means that they must have their own secret power in Ningyang City.
But if that's the case, why didn't they come to take revenge when I killed Wang Datong and He Daozong?
