Qiong also held her breath.
What am I doing?
She squatted down and hugged her head: Qiong Yi, what are you making trouble for?
Why do I tend to act stupid when I'm around him?
...I can obviously pretend to be very good, pretending not to care about anything and not knowing anything, but why can't I do anything when I get to him?
When Sheng Xuanyuan saw her squatting down, he quickly walked over to pull her up. Qiong Yi shook off his hand: "I can get up by myself, I don't need you to help me."
He pursed his lips and retracted his hand silently: "Qiong Yi, what's wrong with you?"
Qiong also raised her head and saw her eyes, which were as deep as the dark night. They were not without waves. Her confusion, worries and doubts reflected herself more clearly.
The bright red cinnabar in the corner of his eyes was brought by her, which made his features even more attractive. Like a bloody blade, there was a hint of beauty in the sharpness, creating a delicate balance that captured the heart.
"Why don't you speak?" Sheng Xuanyuan raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. It was just a moment, but it made her lose her mind for a long time.
Qiong Yi slowly took two steps in front of him and stretched out his hand.
Sheng Xuanyuan thought she wanted to help him, so he handed her hand over.
Unexpectedly, she followed his arm and fell into his arms.
Qiong Yi's breathing almost stopped, and her heart trembled from her chest: ...I must have been fascinated by him to do such a thing.
Her eyes were lowered, her hands hanging loosely, and then she cautiously reached behind him and pressed against his back very lightly.
Sheng Xuanyuan was stunned.
He was motionless.
How dare he think that Qiong would hold him in his arms? No one had ever told him what to do in such a situation. His brain was shut down and he didn't know what to do.
"...Qiong Yi?"
Qiong Yi said softly "Hmm" on his chest.
Sheng Xuanyuan's hands, which had nowhere to put them, seemed a little restrained, almost instinctively. He put his arms around her back and hugged her a little tighter.
The young man's figure is not yet mature, but his shoulders are already broad enough, and his arms are warm. The cold and indifferent scent of pinewood is as long as a dream, like falling dewdrops. After sinking into the ground, there is only a drop of water left, but there is no trace when he wakes up.
Qiong also closed her eyes and whispered in her heart: If only it was just a dream.
Sheng Xuanyuan half-closed his eyes. He smelled the faint fragrance of flowers on her body. It was clear and sweet. He didn't know why she did this. He just felt the warm heartbeat and thought it was his own. My heart jumped from my chest to my stomach.
She was really small, hugged in front of him, like a thin and soft willow branch, or like a bird with its wings folded.
"Sheng Hao..."
Qiong Yi did not let go, but raised her head slightly in his arms. Sheng Xuanyuan let go of her arms. She was too close, and her eyes were too close. Her bright eyes were round and bright, and her face was as pink as apricot. He didn't dare to look at each other.
"I'm... unhappy." She said in a low voice, "Can you smile at me?"
Although this voice was deliberately suppressed by her, it still sounded a bit coquettish. Sheng Xuan was stagnant with resentment, his heart was pounding in confusion, and he almost responded: "Okay."
After saying that, he gently raised the corners of his lips and showed a stiff and standard smile, "Is this okay?"
Qiong also let go of her hand around his waist: "Smile again."
Sheng Xuanyuan looked at her, paused for a moment, and showed a slight but fleeting smile.
Qiong Yi stared at his smile in response to her nonsensical request. When he wasn't smiling, his face was like a cold moon, and when he raised his lips and lightly bent his eyelashes, it dispersed like a star cloud.
Sheng Hao, why can he always come to save me in time?
Once or twice is a coincidence, but as time goes by, can it still be explained by chance?
Isn’t it obvious enough that he responds to his own words all the time?
Qiong also seemed to understand somewhat.
"Is it okay?" he asked.
"Okay." She glanced away and said.
Sheng Xuanyuan's brows slightly raised. He had never been sure of Qiong Yi's thoughts, but it was true that she was easy to coax. As long as she followed her wishes, she would be 100% sure to be relieved.
Qiong also tried to return to the awkward and crazy hug just now: "I am so sad that I am like this, don't worry about it."
He asked without leaving any trace: "Would you do this to others?"
She blurted out: "No."
Sheng Xuanyuan said "hmm" and his ears started to feel hot and red: "Why are you suddenly unhappy?"
"I can't use my zhenqi any more." Qiong Yi lowered his head and deceived him to almost get it: "I was trying to practice my magic in the yard just now, and I found that my zhenqi seemed to be sealed by someone."
"I'm afraid this is the poison I was poisoned last night. I don't know if it's a side effect or an after-effect of the poison. Sheng Hao, I'm worried. I'm afraid that the poison won't be detoxified. Su Changming has treated me... like that. I'm afraid of him. Find me again and threaten me..."
When he mentioned Su Changming, Sheng Xuanyuan thought of his disgusting face and his greedy and obscene eyes. He didn't want to see this man still coveting Qiong Yi in the slightest. For a moment, he I hope she stays by my side forever, so that she won't be touched by anyone.
Sheng Xuanyuan stretched out his hand to feel her pulse, but nothing abnormal was found, and his face became a little grim. Last night he could still detect that she was poisoned by something similar to Ruanjinsan, but now he couldn't detect anything clearly. "No, don't worry, I won't let him touch you again." He retracted his hand to detect the pulse and said firmly: "This poison is very strange. I don't know it yet, but I will figure it out and help you." You detoxify it.”
"Yes." She said, "I believe you."
The girl's unique and lively voice was particularly beautiful. She thought to herself: Sheng Hao wouldn't notice that I was pretending to be scared.
She was afraid of almost nothing in this world except ghosts and evil spirits. For Su Changming, let alone fear, she was filled with anger and disgust.
Sheng Xuanyuan's thoughts were not that delicate. Qiong Yi said so, so he thought so. Although her expression was not as panicked as when she saw Sneaky, he was not suspicious.
Qiong Yi was just using poor acting skills to hide her little thoughts, and wanted him to stay with her longer on the pretext of protection.
What she wasn't sure about was that Sheng Xuanyuan was happy to let her rely on him.
"Now I want to go to Wa Village to settle accounts with Wei Ying, but I don't have any cultivation skills with me. Can you accompany me?" She added, "Let's go around the path so that no one will find out that we are infected." Happy."
Hearing Qiong Yi say that he wanted to settle accounts, Sheng Xuanyuan straightened his expression and immediately said: "Let's go, I'll go with you."

Kubo Village.
Arriving at the small earthen house protected by a fence again, Qiong Yi walked in alone, only to see a thin figure about half a person's height flash out from behind the door, and he came to her side and hugged her tightly.
"Sister Lu!" Wei Xinxin's nose and eyes were red and swollen: "Sister Lu, where have you been? Sister A is also missing. Last night...last night she promised to pick me up. I have been waiting for a long time. Without her... when I walked to the tea house to find Sister A, I saw..."
As she spoke, her childish voice twitched and slurred: "I saw...a lot of people with knives...I saw a lot of blood..."
Qiong Yi was first shocked by her sudden move, and then reacted. He lowered his eyes and touched her little head: "Xiao Xin, has your sister not come back yet?"
Wei Xinxin shook her head.
"Did she tell you anything?" Qiong Yi asked, "She told you not to run around."
"My sister just told me to wait for her at home. If she doesn't come, I will wait at home." She replied timidly: "I'm so scared... I'm afraid those bad guys with knives in the village will hurt me." Sister, Sister Lu, did you see her last night? Where is she? "
"I didn't see her, and I came to see her too."
"Then... what should we do? Sister, she made an agreement with me. She said that she would take me to a far away place. She also said that there is a good brother who has all the registrations for us, and we will be there soon. I have to leave..." Wei Xinxin lowered her head and wiped her tears, and took out a finely woven straw bracelet from her arms, "I think... if I leave, I will never see everyone in the village again. , and I can’t see Sister Lu anymore. I made a bracelet and wanted to give it to you, sister..."
After saying that, she handed the grass ring to Qiong Yi, who took it and squatted down: "Xiao Xin, thank you, you are a good child." There was a slight smile on her face, very gentle. , "If your sister fails to take you out of Kubo Village, will you be sad?"
Wei Xinxin shook her head: "I just want sister to be well..."
Qiong Yi was silent for a long time: "Okay, I understand."
Sheng Xuanyuan, who had been waiting outside for a while, saw her finally walking out of the door and came up to ask, "Wei Ying isn't there?"
"Not here." Qiong Yi lowered his voice: "I checked, she can't be hiding here, and Xiaoxin is not lying."
Sheng Xuanyuan suddenly asked: "Do you really think Su Changming will help her redeem her life?"
"Probably not." She thought for a moment: "Su Changming is most likely lying to her. So, she didn't go back to the village, but was taken back to Yunliang Pavilion?"
"Let's go there."
Seeing Sheng Xuanyuan turn around and leave, Qiong Yi held him back: "Sheng Hao, that's a brothel! Do you want to... go?"
"It doesn't matter, we are going to investigate." When he said this, his face was full of integrity.

Yunliang Pavilion.
It was not long in the morning, and on the streets of Yunyi, food stalls were in full swing, but the door of Hualouliang Pavilion was half-hidden. Occasionally, one or two people with sleepy faces walked out, and they were all men leaving.
Sheng Xuanyuan opened the door and walked straight in. He was surprised when a man who had just walked out of the attic raised his sleeves and cursed: Who is he! He rushed in with weapons early in the morning, which scared everyone to death!
When the woman in red who was leaning on the handrail of the balcony saw someone coming, she let go of the hair she was playing with and walked over with her waist twisted: "Sir, why are you here so early?"
Qiong had also seen this person before. She was Rou'er who welcomed her and her junior siblings into the house that night.
Rou'er looked at Sheng Xuanyuan, raised the corners of her lips that were painted with bright lipstick, and said secretly: "What a handsome young man, with such eyebrows, eyes, and posture, I have never seen such a stunning appearance." As for men.
After thinking about it, she walked straight towards him and reached out to hug his arm: "Young Master, you are such a handsome person. I want Rou'er..."
Sheng Xuanyuan raised the Chengying Sword: "Don't move."
Rou'er's eyes widened, and the flattering and delicate smile on her face still persisted: "Master, what are you... doing? This sword can't be real, right? It's so majestic, can you let Rou'er see it? ?" She said, her pink-dyed fingers brushed over the already transparent gauze skirt, which made her figure even more graceful, with her front and back curved. She twisted her hair around her ears, and her eyebrows were affectionate. She was naked. Tease and seduce.
Last time, when Qiong Yi brought Lu Li here, she had already seen Rou'er's ability to speak softly and coquettishly. At that time, she only thought it was good-looking and a bit funny, but now she sees Rou'er in full swing. Acting like this in front of Xuan Yuan actually made him angry.
Sheng Xuanyuan didn't know what this woman was doing, so he held his sword in front of him and said coldly: "Get out."
