Satisfied, he put down his pen, waved his sleeve to dry the ink, then stood by the window with the portrait in hand, waiting for Qin Fei to come back, while completing the manuscript.
After waiting for less than half an hour, Qin Fei still hadn't come back, so he thought again that it would be deliberate to stay in the house for a long time and go out to inquire when Qin Fei came back.
She went downstairs, first called the waiter over, held up the portrait and asked: "This little brother, have you seen this person?"
The waiter looked at the portrait carefully and shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."
The waiter probably knew Qin Fei, or at least Qin Fei's spirit stone, and was very kind to her. Seeing her eyes darken, he said enthusiastically: "What, sir, are you looking for someone?"
"Yeah, looking for my brother, we got separated."
After a brief chat, the waiter agreed to help her keep an eye on the people in the portraits.
She thanked him and left the inn with the portrait. She pulled over a passerby and asked, "Have you seen this person?"
The passerby said indifferently without even looking at it: "I haven't seen it before."
She didn't care. She walked a little way and asked people again. Most of them were perfunctory. Only a few people stopped and looked at the portrait in her hand seriously.
Time passed slowly, and she walked around several nearby streets, but Qin Fei still didn't come back. Well, the performance was almost over. Let's go back to the inn and continue asking.
She held the portrait and started walking to the inn with her head lowered. Before she arrived at the inn, Qin Fei's figure appeared in her consciousness. She curled her lips and finally came back.
After turning a few corners, Qin Fei saw a girl with a haggard head and a drooping head from a distance, slowly moving towards the inn. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched her shadow, giving people an inexplicable feeling of sadness and loneliness.
He was stunned for a moment, why did she come out?
When he was confused, he saw the wilting Yunli suddenly raised his head, holding up the portrait, mustering up the courage to stop a passerby who was walking in a hurry, and asked timidly: "Have you seen this person? He looks like this."
Before she finished speaking, a passerby waved her away impatiently, "Go away, don't do it in front of me."
"sorry Sorry."
As she apologized profusely, the passers-by cursed and left.
Qin Fei frowned, what are you doing?
Over there, Yunli had already entered the inn, and asked a few more guests. As usual, she got a lot of blank stares. When the waiter saw her, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there still no news?"
Yunli smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The waiter comforted him again: "Look slowly, you will find it, and I will help you keep an eye on it."
"Thank you, little brother, you are such a good person."
After thanking her, she was about to go upstairs when she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Little brother, who is this True Lord Yanshi?"
The waiter opened his mouth wide in surprise, and it took him a long time to laugh twice, "Don't you know Zhenjun Yanshi?"
Yunli shook his head and smiled sheepishly: "There are not many monks in our village. I have been looking for my brother since I came out, and I have never been in contact with these sects."
Qin Fei was stunned. She didn't know the master or the relationship between the master and the Ye family, so she didn't mean to provoke him. In this way, everything she said was true.
Over the years, things have happened to the Ye family's property one after another. Master has long suspected that someone is secretly targeting the Ye family, but the enemy is hiding in the dark and has been unable to catch it.
The master had just set his sights on the city lord's mansion because of the city lord's strange behavior three years ago. Now it seems that it is probably not just one family that is targeting the Ye family. Ye's Trading Company is also involved, or there may be other aristocratic families.
Seeing that he was about to enter the inn, Yunli hurriedly said goodbye to the waiter and returned to the house in a few steps. Her delusion could only be used on one person for the time being, so she had to choose a quiet place to tell the story.
As soon as she opened the door and entered, Qin Fei's voice sounded behind her: "Have you just come back?"
Yunli stiffened at first, then relaxed, turned around, hid the portrait behind her, and said reluctantly: "Yes."
Qin Fei walked into the room and sat down on the bench next to the table: "I heard the waiter said you are looking for my brother?"
What did the waiter say? It was obviously you who heard it with your own ears. After slandering her, seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, annoyance appeared on her face, and then she bit her lip and whispered: "I didn't mean to hide it from you. It’s just me”
"Understand, understand, it's important to be on guard against others."
The careless Qin Fei seemed particularly considerate at this time. It would be more suspicious if he vomited everything to a stranger.
A blush of shame appeared on Yunli's face. She closed the door, walked to sit across from him, and said in a sad tone: "Three years ago, my brother and I went out for training and encountered the second-level monster White-nosed Xiongzong. We couldn't defeat it, so in order to protect him, my brother I dragged the monster and jumped off the cliff."
"I," she sniffed, stopped choking, and continued tremblingly: "I have been searching under the cliff for a long time, but I only saw the body of White-nosed Xiongzong, not my brother, so he must still be alive."
Qin Fei showed sympathy, "He might have been eaten by other monsters."
"impossible!"
Yunli became excited and said sharply: "My brother is very talented and has superb swordsmanship. The clan leader said that he is a good swordsman. There is no way he will die! He also said before that when he becomes a powerful swordsman, he will die." Lead me to slay demons and save the common people!"
Yunli said with confidence, but her almond-shaped eyes were a little hazy, "Besides, some people said they saw a man in black taking away my brother."
Qin Fei looked at her sympathetically. Those people probably couldn't bear to tell her the truth. He felt sad when he thought that such a young man who had the same ambition as him was buried in the belly of an animal.
It's now!
A faint orange glow appeared in the depths of his apricot eyes, and Qin Fei's eyes instantly became dull. Yunli quickly asked: "When will Donglu appear?"
Qin Fei said blankly: "Eighty years later."
Sure enough he knew!
Yunli suppressed her surprise, and the orange light in her eyes faded. She seemed to be trying to convince him, but also seemed to be trying to convince herself: "Besides, some people said they saw my brother in Nanling City, so I came here to look for him."
Qin Fei shook his head and ruthlessly exposed her fantasy: "If your brother is still alive, why didn't he go back to find you?"
Yunli's face turned pale for a moment, her eyes blinked, and the crystal water wetted the corners of her eyes, but she stubbornly insisted: "He, he must have difficulties, yes, yes, he has difficulties as a last resort!"
Seeing that Qin Fei's eyes were even more sympathetic, her eyes once again glowed with orange light and she asked: "Are there any restrictions on entering the Eastern Continent? How can I get in?"
She had just discovered that the duration of confusion was much longer than the last time it was used. It should be enough time to ask two questions, but Qin Fei remained in a sluggish state without answering.
Yunli's heart skipped a beat, had she been discovered?
No, his eyes were still dull. She calmed down and continued to mutter to herself: "Brother will not leave me behind. He must have some compelling reasons."
Qin Fei recovered from the sluggishness, but there was still nothing strange.
Things in Donglu are kept secret to a high degree. How much can a junior like Qin Fei know? The reason why he knows the specific time of Donglu's appearance is because he is a favored disciple among the disciples of True Lord Yanshi.
After shaping the image of the stubborn, weak and heart-wrenching Xun brothers and sisters, Yunli was ready to withdraw. Over there, Qin Fei was also anxious to report the latest progress of the Ye family's enemies to True Lord Yanshi, and hurriedly said goodbye to Yunli the next day.
After bidding farewell to Qin Fei, Yunli started wandering around the city. Who knew if Qin Fei had arranged for someone to follow her secretly? She wandered until sunset and no one was following her. She couldn't help but be surprised. She didn't expect Qin Fei to trust her so much!
It seems that she judged a gentleman with a villain's heart.
Since there was no one, she was ready to go out of the city to meet Wei Lin and Wen Ming. When passing by a street market, she accidentally caught a glimpse of an unattended recruitment booth. The word "Sword Boy" attracted her firmly. This was the name of the Ye family. Hire someone?
The Ye family is the second-largest weapon-refining family in Canglan Continent. Their casting equipment is top-notch. After thinking about it, she stepped forward and asked, "Is the sword boy working in the sword furnace?"
The old man who recruited the workers didn't even raise his eyelids. Hearing this, he said angrily: "The sword boy is not working in the sword furnace. You want to go to the master's house for tea."
"Then if you behave well, can you follow me and learn how to make swords?"
The old man said impatiently: "Yes."
Yunli straightened her body: "Then what do you think of me?"
All the way to immortality
