The slightly dim and small space was now illuminated by a glimmering light. The two people sat on the floor facing each other in silence, their faces looking particularly gloomy under the dim light.
But a person is thoughtful and seems to be immersed in slightly distant thoughts. The other person was restrained by something similar to a rope. A thin layer of spiritual power threads emanated from the top and bottom of the rope, almost fixing the other person's upper body, making it impossible to move easily.
If there are other people in the room, they will find that although the atmosphere between the two seems okay, if you look closely, you will find that Ning Xia's hand is pressed on the Chonghuan Sword on the table from beginning to end, and the tip of the sword is always They are all facing each other's lifeline.
Compared to the tense and slightly awkward state just now, the atmosphere between the two has relaxed a lot.
The unfortunate encounter made the situation between the two of them so embarrassing, but after all, there was no deep hatred, and Ningxia couldn't just kill people and silence them. After much deliberation, I could only adopt this method, first hold the person hostage, and wait for the rest of the matter to wait until True Lord Yuan Heng comes back.
Touching the sword at her waist, which had a handle that did not belong to her, Ning Xia hesitated and did not trigger the warning above for a long time. After all, the situation outside is unclear. It is best not to bother with such small things that are not big things. I can handle them for the time being. If True Lord Yuan Heng is busy with something important at the moment, wouldn't that just add to the chaos?
The waiting time is also difficult to predict, so Ningxia finally changed its approach and decided to let each other go and change to a relatively friendly "reception method".
The restricted elixirs of the Bodhi Bracelet Confinement Formation are all used to ensure that the opponent cannot break free and dare not act rashly, so he feels relieved.
The other party was also a smart man, and probably knew that it was not a good time to struggle at this time, so he cooperated very well, and nothing happened until Ningxia carefully completed this large project.
The dim light illuminated this small storage room, and Ningxia finally saw clearly the appearance of this unfortunate man.
how to say? The other person unexpectedly had a very mediocre face, and he was out of place in the world of cultivation where handsome men and beauties were everywhere. He looked like a typical passerby on the street. But his eyes were particularly brilliant, full of luster like glass, lighting up his whole person.
It was also because of these exceptionally beautiful, vaguely familiar eyes that Ning Xia finally remembered who the other party was. She seemed to have met him a few days ago, and she was still wondering where this inexplicable feeling of familiarity came from.
This face, this voice, and the eyes, weren't they the guy who sold her some cinnamon grass?
The world is so small that this is such a coincidence. Ningxia did not expect to have such an intersection with this person after the transaction...
This is completely consistent with what he said before.
Meeting Ning Xia's somewhat surprised look, Gu Huai knew that the other party might have recognized him. He has always shown this face to others since he lived in southern Xinjiang. Even if the other party recognizes him, they will only think that he is the hawker from that day.
This is also the last mask he has left. He uses it carefully these days, fearing that it will be completely destroyed like the previous ones. At that time, he will really have no choice but to run around in his true self, and the danger will be even more immeasurable.
"I never expected to see fellow Taoist here again." Gu Huai admitted happily.
Compared to Ning Xia's high vigilance, Gu Huai's attitude towards Ning Xia was much calmer.
He still has a good impression of this girl who has a close relationship with him and has solved his urgent need.
Although the several encounters were just chance encounters, based on the other party's behavior, he felt that the other party probably had some principles. The odds of him being safe were greatly improved.
Of course, if the other party wants something and can discuss it carefully, he doesn't mind making a deal. As long as the person is not overbearing and unreasonable, it is easy to talk. Gu Huai thought silently in his heart, and at the same time made the worst plan for himself.
After all, they are all wearing human skin, who knows what the human heart looks like? Even if his heart is bright, Gu Huai is not afraid to speculate on human nature with the worst possible malice. He'd seen too many of these.
Ningxia didn't know that the other party was ready to "cede territory and pay compensation" in exchange for life. She was thinking about a question.
How on earth did this person get into the VIP group of the fifth house? By the way, does he know that No. 5 Desheng is looking for him everywhere? If you entered the island without knowing it, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into a trap?
Ningxia had no doubt what the Fifth Desheng would do if caught. Does this person know?
"Fellow Taoist looks at me like this and I don't know if I have any questions. You might as well just say it." The other party easily caught Ning Xia's strange look and asked naturally and calmly. It was as if he was having a chat with an old friend, rather than being someone else's prisoner about to be interrogated.
It doesn't matter if you talk about it. The other party was very happy with the transaction at that time. Ningxia had a good impression of him and didn't mind revealing it...if the other party really didn't know anything.
"Fellow Taoist, you are very lucky. If the fifth direct descendant you meet is that one, you may not be so relaxed and happy at the moment. That one seems to have been looking for you recently..."
Ningxia had heard from the other party before that he was able to go to Yundao as a distinguished guest because he was appreciated by a direct descendant of the fifth family. Presumably, he was not a fifth-level student, and considering that person's arrogance, it was impossible to invite a low-level monk with no background to the fifth family's clan.
Later, Ningxia heard from True Monarch Yuan Heng that the Fifth Family almost caused a stir in the main city over the past few days in order to find someone, and it became the gossip of all walks of life. She guessed at that time that the man in front of her must not have been poisoned.
The young master of the fifth family probably didn't expect that the person who caused him to turn everything upside down would be mixed up in their invitation team and enter Hushan by himself.
Ning Xia originally thought that the other party would be surprised when he heard it, but he nodded calmly: "I heard something." In fact, it was more than that... those people almost came to the door. If it hadn't been for that person, it might have been another hard fight.
This time Ningxia was really surprised: "That's too much to say. Please be more careful in the future. The descendant of the fifth family doesn't look very friendly." Out of habit, Ningxia talked about the matter. I persuaded.
But these words did make the situation between them somewhat ironic. Ning Xia couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after saying this unconsciously. After all, it was not the young master from the fifth family who was poking someone else's heart with the spirit sword, but her.
But Gu Huai didn't care much about it. Ning Xia probably thought that he didn't know about this and was kindly reminding him. He was able to give such news out of good intentions, so he naturally agreed to this.
"After hearing what fellow Taoist said, I should have had some contact with that person. It seems like it is not a pleasant memory..."
