At night, after Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao had dinner, they stood in front of the guest room window and chatted.

"Sister, look at the moon getting rounder and rounder..." Zheng Miao looked at the silver plate-like moon in the sky and jumped for joy like a child. Su Qiqi looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the moonlight was already very round, but there was still a small corner missing. She suddenly remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival would be in a few days. Originally, this time was a day for family reunion, but because of the frame-up by the traitor, my father, brother and Uncle Qin could only look at the moon in prison and miss their homes... They must be very sad, and I had to find a way to rescue them as soon as possible!

Zheng Miao saw that Su Qiqi looked sad and was in a daze, and asked with some worry: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" Su Qiqi came back to her senses, smiled faintly and said: "It's okay, I suddenly remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days. , a little emotional..."

Zheng Miao nodded as if understanding, then turned to look at the pedestrians coming and going downstairs in the inn.

"Sister, will the man in black who was injured by you yesterday come to trouble us again? Do you want to tell your brother about what we followed yesterday?" Zheng Miao stretched out boredly and looked away from the window. He looked at Su Qiqi.

"Well, when your brother settles down the people in Seven Star Castle later, we will go and talk to him about this matter..."

Zheng Miao nodded and saw that it was still early, so she went to change into a dress. An orange-pink cross-collar blouse paired with an icy blue gradient embroidered horse-face skirt gave people a fresh and lively impression.

Su Qiqi looked at the sky and said, "Miaomiao, let's go see if your brother has finished his work?"

Zheng Miao nodded, suddenly remembered something, pulled Su Qiqi and whispered: "Sister, we have to change our words, otherwise we will be betrayed..."

Su Qiqi patted her head and said: "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot it again... Okay, from now on we will call each other by the original owner's identity..."

Zheng Miao promised repeatedly. The two of them were about to go out when someone suddenly walked in from outside the door. They were startled. When they looked closely, it was Qin Chuan!

"Brother, we were planning to find you? Why did you come here?" Zheng Miao asked first.

Qin Chuan looked anxious and said to his two sisters: "Just now, a brother from Qixingbao said that when he went to the toilet, he saw a man dressed as a Jianghu man sneaking up to the second floor of the inn, so I came here specially to talk to him. Say hello to you and ask you to be careful...I will sleep in the room next to yours at night. If you need anything, call me..."

After hearing this, Su Qiqi couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart. She didn't expect that this martial artist was quite attentive. Zheng Miao looked at her brother with admiration, her eyes shining.

Qin Chuan stood for a while, looking like he was hesitating to speak. After a while, he walked to the window, looked at the situation outside, and turned around and said, "It's getting late. You guys have a rest early. I'll go back to the room first." Let's go." After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door. Just as he was about to cross the threshold, Su Qiqi suddenly called to his back: "Qin Chuan, I have something else to discuss with you."

Qin Chuan's figure immediately paused, turned around slowly, and asked expectantly: "Su'er, what's wrong?" Su Qiqi walked over and whispered: "Sit down first, and the three of us will have a good time. Let’s discuss.” After saying that, she went over to close the door of the guest room, and then motioned Qin Chuan and Zheng Miao to sit at the table to discuss things.

Qin Chuan sat silently at the table and looked at Su Qiqi and then Zheng Miao with a confused expression. Zheng Miao pursed her lips lightly and said hesitantly: "Brother, it's like this... we followed the man in black during the day..."

Before Zheng Miao finished speaking, Qin Chuan stood up nervously and asked in a hurried tone: "You went to follow the suspect who ruined the temple? You are too risky! You can't be so reckless in the future. What will happen to me if I get hurt? Explain to dad and the chief escort?"

Zheng Miao stuck out her tongue, not daring to continue talking, and secretly asked Su Qiqi for help with her eyes. Su Qiqi coughed twice, then told the details of following the man in black during the day, and also told Qin Chuan and Zheng Miao about her uneasiness.

"You mean you just injured the man, and then the two of you ran back by yourself..." Qin Chuan asked incredulously after listening to the two sisters' accounts.

"That's right, in a hurry, I wounded him with my palm. When he fell to the ground, I quickly left with Wanrou..." Su Qiqi carefully recalled the scene at that time and recounted the details. Shidi told Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan was frightened when he heard this, and thought to himself, my silly sister, luckily I ran in time, if the man in black was really the mysterious figure he met in the ruined temple, the consequences would be disastrous.

Based on his experience, the mysterious figure's martial arts skills were definitely on par with Lin Quan's. With their current level of cultivation, they were almost asking for trouble. That's all, you have to practice Xinyi Boxing as soon as possible. When you master this set of boxing, you may still have a chance to compete with it.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan's eyes glowed faintly. Su Qiqi accidentally saw that light, and her heart rippled again. The handsome and stalwart man in front of her seemed to be what she thought of as a knight. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and this slight smile fell into Qin Chuan's eyes, making his heart beat faster.

After a while, he spoke again: "Su'er, I also have something to tell you. When Master Huikong and I went back to the temple to get the glazed lamp, someone was secretly helping us get rid of the people who were chasing us. The men in black...the way those men in black died was a bit strange. There was no obvious trauma or signs of poisoning. There was just a red needle hole on the neck, as if they had been injured by a hidden weapon such as a flying needle..."

He was talking and making gestures, Zheng Miao was dumbfounded, and Su Qiqi quickly searched her memory bank... Could it be her?

"Could it be Granny Cui?" Su Qiqi asked Qin Chuan uncertainly.

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you think it's her?"

"You said before that you were rescued by Granny Cui when you were kidnapped by Yeyou Alliance people in Qilian Mountain. Granny Cui must not be an accomplice of those evil people. Moreover, she appeared inexplicably with the men in black many times. There is only one possibility, she should be trying to stop those men in black from committing crimes..." Su Qiqi analyzed it sternly.

After hearing this, Qin Chuan showed approval in his eyes and smiled: "What you said makes sense. Let's take one step at a time. Although the people of Yeyou League are powerful, they are not omnipotent monsters. We always have a way. To deal with it...the most important thing right now is to be vigilant and be prepared to deal with it..."

Su Qiqi agreed with his idea. The three of them analyzed the situation at hand and decided to quietly make arrangements to better deal with the Yeyou Alliance's surprise attack.

As the night progressed, Qin Chuan returned to the guest room next door and became a little restless. He hesitated for a while, then went downstairs to find Master Huikong and the second guardian of Seven Star Castle.

"You said Miss Nangong and the others saw people from the Yeyou Alliance appearing at Juxing Inn?" Master Huikong and the second guardian of Qixing Castle felt a little troubled after hearing Qin Chuan's words. Why do people from the Yeyou League appear so frequently in the neighborhood? What exactly is it for? Could it be for the star gathering map and glazed lamp left by the castle owner?

Master Huikong and the Second Protector of Seven Star Castle both became a little anxious. Qin Chuan hurriedly spoke to calm the two people's uneasiness: "Master Huikong, Protector Sun, you can rest assured that the main force of the Ye You League is still in Qilian Mountain. The more troublesome ones here are Lin Quan and us who were in the ruined temple that day. The mysterious man I met is nothing to be afraid of, as the other gangsters have average skills! I have a way to deal with him!"

Master Huikong had seen what Qin Chuan was capable of, and he looked a little more relaxed. However, Sun Boyun, the second guardian of Seven Star Castle, still had a troubled expression on his face, and said with some worry: "Young Master Qin, are you really sure?"

Qin Chuan clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, you two. The Weiyuan Escort Bureau has always been heroic and righteous, taking it as its own duty to help the weak and those in danger. We will never let the people of the Yeyou League do whatever they want..."

Seeing how heroic he was, the Second Protector stopped talking. The three of them agreed on a defense plan and went back to their rooms to rest.

"Bang bang bang" a sound of the clock came from the street, pouring into Qinchuan's eardrums from far to near. As soon as he reached the corner of the stairs on the second floor, he suddenly saw an additional shadow in the dim moonlight. His heart sank, and he secretly clenched the sword at his waist.
