The wedding banquet was lively, with countless good wines and delicacies. Although Su Ye loved drinking, he couldn't bear the distant cousins who frequently asked him about his personal affairs. If he had a girl he liked now, and when he would get married and start a family, he made a haha and slipped away quickly.
Qiong Yi's side wasn't much better. Many people she met because of her reputation offered drinks to her and Sheng Xuanyuan. Sheng Xuanyuan was very aware of Qiong Yi's drinking capacity and stopped them all for her. The people coming from various families were too enthusiastic and it was difficult to refuse. The two quietly wanted to leave, but saw Sheng Zijing as they left.
Qiong also pulled him: "Sheng Jin, your brother."
Sheng Xuanyuan saw his second brother and stepped forward in surprise, "Second brother, why are you here?"
Sheng Zijing had just seen Su Mingxiao finish his worship and sit at the banquet for a while according to etiquette. Just as he was about to leave, he looked back: "Ah Jing?" and looked at Qiong Yi again: "...Lu Xiyan."
He replied: "The clan has not been on good terms with the Su family for a long time, but this time the Su clan's eldest daughter got married, she still sent an invitation to our clan. I am here by invitation."
Sheng Zijing said that it seemed that attending the banquet was not his wish, but in fact he specifically asked for the invitation from Sheng Xuanyao. Sheng Xuanyao asked again and again if he really wanted to go to Miss Su's wedding banquet? Sheng Zijing was worried that his second brother, who had not forgotten his lingering love, would steal the bride or cause trouble, so Sheng Zijing just told his brother not to think too much.
After looking at Qiong Yi, Sheng Zijing thought of Zhu Yunluo for no reason. He didn't know how to tell her that he and her sister had met, so he simply didn't say anything and asked, "Are you here too?"
"We came here in the middle of our travels. Since our best friends are getting married, it was natural for us to come."
Sheng Zijing only said: "Yes." He thought that as a guest, he had stayed long enough, so he only told the two of them to beware of sluts when traveling, and then left the banquet.
Sheng Xuanyuan and the other two also withdrew from the banquet and slipped into the back garden. They happened to meet Su Ye who had escaped. The three of them stared at each other and clapped their fingers and said, "Why did you run out too?"
I guess it coincided with each other. The three of them got together and hung out and chatted about everything.
"It's such a beautiful day." Su Ye stretched out and said, "Think about it, my sister who loves me and loves me stays in the clan, and my brother who has had a close relationship with me has become a family member, and we share the same affection. It's really a happy event in the world. "
"Brother Yan has established himself in the inner palace, and it will be easy for him to help handle the internal affairs of the Su clan. Uncle Su will be able to relax a lot."
"Yes, I also enjoy my leisure time." Su Ye smiled: "I might come to see you and travel together someday."
Sheng Xuan said resentfully: "I'm always waiting for you."
"Don't you think I'm disturbing you?"
"How could that be? Are Sheng Kyung and I the same kind of people?"
"Hahahaha." Su Ye laughed: "I heard that you have practiced marksmanship, Sheng Xuanyuan. How is your practice? Do you dare to challenge me? And you, Qiong Yi, whoever loses will treat me to drinks tonight, how about it?" "
Sheng Xuan said resentfully, "Let's go."
Qiong also smiled and replied: "Okay!"

After staying as guests in Su's Mansion for a few days, Qiong Yi and Sheng Xuanyuan said goodbye to their friends and continued their travels.
Luo Yao.
Zhu Yunluo still delivers medicine to Sheng Zijing every ten days, but when delivering medicine today, Zhao Wei said to her: "Miss Yunluo, senior brother has gone on a long trip, and I don't know when he will come back. He will have to replace these medicines when he comes back." You handed it over."
"Yes, thank you." Zhu Yunluo nodded and asked curiously: "Where has the second young master gone?"
"Miss Su got married, and he went to the banquet to congratulate her."
Everyone in the world knew about this happy event, and Zhu Yunluo was no exception. However, she had heard that Sheng Zijing had an old relationship with a girl from that clan, but now she went to see her wedding in person. Could it be that she hadn't let it go yet?
When Zhao Wei saw that Zhu Yunluo was silent, he asked, "Miss Yunluo, why don't you wear the hairpin I gave you? Do you not like it?"
"No, it... is very beautiful." Si Yunluo lightly tied the hair around her ears: "It's just that I'm used to this wooden hairpin."
"That's it." Zhao Wei smiled and wanted to look at her a few more times, covering his face and touching his nose: "I, I heard that the new hand cream from the gouache shop in the city is very useful, and I bought it. Goodbye, girl, you often cook and your hands may get cold if you touch the water. If you need it, I will queue up to buy it tomorrow."
Zhu Yunluo turned away and said, "Young Master Zhao has expressed his sincerity, and I accept it from my heart. But I don't want to bother with it." She bowed slightly and said goodbye to him.
"It's okay, it's okay, Miss Yunluo, go slowly." Zhao Wei grinned and watched her leave.
Zhu Yunluo saw Zhao Wei's thoughts in her eyes, how could she not understand.
It's just that the first meeting with Jiang Pan was so stunning that she couldn't let go of that person.

When Zhu Yunluo went home recently, she always felt a little weird, as if she was being followed, but she did not see anyone after several days of investigation, so she just assumed that her intuition was wrong.
After all, having such a precious tree in the yard is like sleeping in a pile of gold, which makes it difficult to feel at ease.
That day, she walked home in the dusk. When she opened the door, she didn't notice anything was wrong. After walking to the table and putting down the medicine basket, she realized that the tea bowl on the table seemed to have changed its position. She tilted her head slightly and saw the wood next to it. The cabinet was even more obvious. The drawers were pulled out and not closed.
Zhu Yunluo would never open a drawer halfway. Her first reaction was that a thief had broken in. When she lowered her head and looked at the ground, she saw messy footprints stained with mud. The soles of her feet were too big. She was obviously an adult man. And the footprints could only go in but not out, so that was... In other words, the thief did not leave, but was still hiding in the house.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunluo's back felt cold. She didn't dare to look around. She pretended that she hadn't noticed yet, grabbed the protective silk ribbon that was placed on the chair, and walked slowly outside the house.
She actually wanted to go to the backyard to see if the pith tree had been dug up, but her rationality told her that it was dangerous here and her life was the most important thing, so she had to leave as soon as possible.
Before Zhu Yunluo could walk out of the room, there was a muffled "dong" sound, and the closet door was kicked open. A rough voice smiled evilly: "Haha, you found me? I'm quite clever."
Zhu Yunluo ran away without looking back. A long sword stretched out from behind and lay in front of her. The man sneered: "If you run out without the protection of the magic circle, your death will only be worse."
She had to stop, and what she saw when she turned around was a man with messy hair, an unkempt beard, and a stench all over his body. His eyes were half-covered and bright. It was not the brightness of a normal person, but a maniacal excitement. Jin, if he didn't have a sword in his hand, he would be more like a wandering madman.
Zhu Yunluo showed weakness and begged for mercy: "Master, please do me a favor. If there is anything valuable in the house that you like, just take it..."
"Valuable?" The crazy man laughed: "I don't care about the rags. You know what I want."
"Little, little girl, I don't know..." Zhu Yunluo's whole body tensed up, and the sword blade in front of her was still stained with blood that had solidified for a long time. She forced a smile and said, "Please tell me, I will definitely give it to you..."
"What a wise man." He pressed the sword on Zhu Yunluo's neck: "I heard that your medical skills are so good that you can make blind people see again and lame people walk like flying. It can be called the art of bringing the dead back to life. Those people who can recover are all eating a kind of fruit. …”
He laughed sharply: "If I'm not wrong, it's the legendary beetle fruit from Southern Xinjiang. Hand over all the fruit you have."
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you... Master, put your sword down and I'll show you the way..."
Seeing her, the mad man turned pale with fright. He expected that she would not be able to use any tricks, so he put down his sword and said, "Lead the way? Listen to what you said, the Crimson Pearl Fruit is not in this room anymore?"
"Yes, yes." Zhu Yunluo smiled stiffly. As she saw the sky getting darker, the fear in her heart became more intense: "I, a mortal, have never known any fruit in southern Xinjiang. I just accidentally picked medicine in the mountains. I picked it, and found that it has miraculous effects... I dare not tell it publicly, if you want it, I will naturally dedicate it to you..."
"You're so good." The crazy man smiled in a twisted way, "I like you to be obedient. If I hadn't practiced this technique and couldn't become a man, I would have enjoyed it with you first."
Zhu Yunluo couldn't help but feel nauseated and trembled all over. She suppressed her fear and listened to him say "lead the way." She steady her steps and led him around the small village towards the city.
She was walking in front, and the crazy man was walking behind with his sword in hand. With one hand, she tucked the silk draped around her body tightly, and with the other hand, she carefully turned it over in her arms. Inside was the talisman that Qiong Yi had sent her back before.
"The talisman must be activated by true energy to be used. It is only used by monks and cannot protect everyone."
"I am practicing outside and am not with A Luo. If sister, you are in danger, I cannot be there to protect you."
"So, I invented this magic trick. As long as you hold the talisman and blow a breath, the wind shape inside will support you and fly forward. No one can catch up."
"This way, even if I'm not with you, I can still protect you."
Thinking of what Qiong Yi said in the letter, Zhu Yunluo squeezed the talisman tightly.
The crazy man followed her, not only jumping around, but also screaming and singing like crazy. It was already dark, and there was no one on the road. Zhu Yunluo looked at the houses beside her with her peripheral vision, trying to ask for help, but no one saw her.
With a sore nose, Zhu Yunluo only heard the man behind her asking increasingly impatiently: "Why haven't you arrived yet?"
"...It's almost here, right in front."
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
"How could I lie to you?" Her voice was hoarse: "Don't worry, sir, otherwise, you can kill me with a sword, and I won't be able to run away..."
After walking for a long time, we could almost see the city streets. The crazy man finally couldn't help but cursed: "Is this the fucking way up the mountain? How dare you little bitches to lie to me?!"
He raised his hand to grab Zhu Yunluo in front of him, but Zhu Yunluo blew fiercely on the talisman paper in his hand just before he stretched out his hand. In an instant, the air flow in the yellow paper broke out, wrapping her in it, and towards her. Fly quickly forward.
The crazy man caught the opportunity, became angry and chased her with his sword.
Zhu Yunluo looked at the madman chasing behind her, covering her mouth and sobbing in the wind. She didn't know how long the Wind Control Technique could last, and how far it could send her. Sheng's guard was getting closer and closer to her, and she finally ran out The voice shouted: "Come here! Help! Killer!——"
"Bitch!" the man cursed. He was not low in cultivation and his footwork was extremely fast. The Wind Control Technique was obviously not enough to send Zhu Yunluo to the guard platform. Feng Ning dispersed and she ran forward with all her strength, but the lunatic The sword still struck up and slashed down hard on her back. The protective silk shone slightly, blocking the sword energy, but the sword energy still hit Zhu Yunluo through something. She felt a sweet sensation in her throat, vomited out blood, and fell down. It was difficult to get up, so she could only huddle under the protective silk. The mad man stabbed her with his sword outside. She spat out another mouthful of blood, and her vision gradually blurred.
The man couldn't cut through this treasure, and he wanted to cut off her exposed legs. Long arrows were fired, and only a human voice was heard shouting: "Bold madman, don't hurt anyone's life!"
When the mad man saw that the arrow was about to hit him, he had no choice but to give up killing and use his sword to block it.
The disciples guarding the platform rushed over one after another and surrounded the crazy man. Zhao Wei recognized Zhu Yunluo at a glance, who was huddled under the magic weapon silk silk, and exclaimed in surprise: "Miss Yunluo!" He rushed up and took off the silk silk to help her.
Zhu Yunluo was trembling all over, with blood dripping from the corners of her lips. It was obvious that she had suffered internal injuries. She finally saw a familiar face, cried and bent over to fall, but was hugged by Zhao Wei. She was rescued from the edge of life and death, and could not regain consciousness for a long time. Her eyes were covered with tears and she could not see anything clearly. She just hugged Zhao Wei tightly and cried: "Mr. Zhao...Mr. Zhao..."
Zhao Wei felt distressed when he saw her injured. He asked her to put her head on his shoulder and said comfortingly: "Miss Yunluo, the bad guy has been captured. It's okay. It's okay. I'll take you to heal your injuries."
Zhu Yunluo's cries became smaller and smaller, and she couldn't even respond to him.
When Sheng Zijing came back from Yichuan, he only saw this scene in front of him. Zhao Wei was holding Zhu Yunluo, who was injured internally, and passed him in a hurry.
He looked back and saw Zhu Yunluo closing her eyes tightly and leaning in her junior brother's arms.
