Even though he was fully prepared, Xiao Qianye's eyes were still blank for a moment when he saw such a shocking injury. He gently raised his hand and placed it on the huge scar connecting his shoulders. Just for a moment,

It was as if all the strength in his body was exhausted by this simple action. This was the scar he made eight years ago to save him. It is still bright red and eye-catching today. The burning sting gushed out from his fingers, piercing his eyes and heart.

It's all pain.

After falling from a cliff that year and being rescued by a bird on a branch, they were found and rescued by Kunlun disciples at dusk the next day. However, for such a long time, the injuries on Yun Xiao's body had not stopped.

The blood was strong, but what was even more strange was that she was still able to remain conscious in this state of severe blood loss.

Xiao Qianye suddenly trembled, remembering the ancient divine bird in Di Zhong's memory. Its chest was cut by Gu Chen with a huge wound. The blood kept dripping, but the flowing flames would continue to fill the wound and it could not be healed.

, but will not lose his life.

When she saw her again, she had changed into clean clothes and was sitting on a lounge chair in front of Qingqiu Zhenren's door with her eyes closed, enjoying the breeze and basking in the sun. She suddenly woke up when she noticed the sound of his footsteps, and she was still as if nothing had happened.

Smiled.

Xiao Qianye controlled his rapid breathing and moved his eyes little by little. The fiery feathers were much denser than when he saw them in Bei'an City, and the faint spiritual fire at the tip became more and more obvious. In addition, the originally snow-white feathers were much more dense.

There are large bruises everywhere on the skin, which should be the scars left after being thrown by the earthbound spirit.

Under such heavy trauma, there were countless tiny pinholes, each one cutting into his heart like a sharp blade.

All the trauma on her body was for herself... Under such a beautiful and gentle face, there was unspeakable pain hidden, but she never showed a trace of it in front of herself, and she always had such a fearless and reassuring smile.

Xiao Qianye felt his heart being torn apart viciously, and the anguish and sorrow surged out, forcing him to lower his head. He couldn't help but think of his senior brother Tian Che. For his two direct disciples, this should have been

The two closest people to him when he was a boy, but all he could give them were endless scars.

"Has it always been... like this?" Xiao Qianye's fingers stopped there, he raised his eyes and stared at her in disbelief, and his body began to tremble slightly.

"Yes." Yun Xiao nodded and held down his trembling hand. "Although the wound has healed long ago, it looks like a new one. I go to Qingqiu Zhenren for a checkup every year, and my uncle doesn't know what it is.

What caused it?"

He gritted his teeth, a sharp light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his expression changed instantly. The blood of the divine bird could help her recover quickly, but the human body could not withstand such extreme power. One day, she would be

The burst of spiritual phoenix breath backfires on itself!

Yun Xiao saw that his expression was wrong, and hurriedly tightened his clothes, his face turned red, and he muttered in a low voice: "I told you it was ugly..."

"Does it still hurt?" Xiao Qianye helped her straighten her clothes, put away her insecurities, and touched the other person's cheek with a gentle expression. Yun Xiao took out her hand and smiled, "It doesn't hurt a long time ago."

Yes, I always recover quickly, don’t worry.”

She clearly smiled while speaking, but a touch of sadness suddenly appeared in her eyes, and then she bit her lip and was silent for a long time - did he know something? Xiao Qianye would never lie to others, he himself

One look into his eyes and you knew that he was hiding something. There was no precedent for the Lingfeng clan to survive as a mixed race. He had grown up by luck relying on Shen Yue's power. Now Shen Yue has completely lost her power, and Frost Sky Phoenix has also left.

Relying on herself, it would be difficult to suppress the raging fire in her body.

Will he die... Yun Xiao's hands were shaking a little, and she suddenly grabbed him, swallowing nervously, feeling confused.

She had never seriously thought about this problem. Perhaps under her scarred body, death was already very close.

Xiao Qianye just came back to his senses. Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, he just picked up the hair on her cheek and gently put it behind her ears. His face was calm and calm, and he said in a low voice: "It's okay...it's okay.

"

He stretched out his hand as hard as he could to comfort her, and more importantly, to comfort himself. His golden and silver eyes showed a deep color.

It's okay. Everything will get better. This time, no matter what the price, I will do whatever it takes to bring the woman I love back from the abyss of death.

Xiao Yibai was pulled by Si Tian's sleeves and pulled all the way back to Yile Pavilion. The lobby breathed a sigh of relief. Mother Lan, who had just wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead, was lying on the soft couch to rest. She looked up at the door and walked in.

The face of the person who came in instantly turned black and white, and he almost fainted again before he could catch his breath.

"You, you, you, you... why are you back again?" Lan's mother rushed to the door with her skirt in hand, blocked the door with her arms to prevent the two from entering, raised her eyebrows, and begged in an angry voice, "Little

Tian'er, let's go play somewhere else. Next time I come, can I give you a free bill next time? Go somewhere else quickly. When you go out, turn left and walk straight through this street to Qin Tower! Isn't there a national beauty who lives there recently?

Tianxiang’s foreign girl, please go there and have a look, Lan Ma begs you!”

While waving the small ball fan in her hand, she glanced at Xiao Yibai from the corner of her eyes from time to time, muttering to herself - this guy doesn't seem to be Pavilion Master Xiao, but his twin brother?

But when she thought of this person, she was even more afraid to offend him. After all, this guy could spread rumors with the current saint. Regardless of whether this kind of gossip is true or false, it is an indisputable fact that His Majesty attaches great importance to Tianzheng Mansion.

, she finally sent Pavilion Master Xiao away with great difficulty, and then bumped into his compatriot eldest brother. If she accidentally offended the two of them, she might really have to pack up and leave the imperial capital!

Lan's mother Bai sighed helplessly, suppressing the depression in her heart. Xiao Yibai narrowed his eyes and smiled, turned his face and looked meaningfully at the uncle beside him: "You don't seem to be very popular."

"Are you the unpopular person?" Si Tian laughed loudly and asked in return. He didn't mind his rude remarks. He scratched his forehead and looked at the other side of the market expectantly, saying something in his mouth.

He muttered nonchalantly, "Qin Lou? I seem to have the impression that their oiran lady is really stunning in the world. It's a pity that she can only watch from a distance but not play close up. For a very old person like me, but

I can’t stand that kind of temptation.”

"If Marshal wants to come over and sit down, I can ask the oiran to have a drink with you." After Xiao Yibai's words, Lan's mother immediately grasped the life-saving straw and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "That's right, Xiao Tian'er, hurry up and follow

Let him go. Qin Tower is opened by Gongsun Yan. He and Gongsun Yan are colleagues for the time being. It is not difficult to find an oiran to accompany you for a glass of wine. Please don't bother me. The girls here are better than me.

Not as good as other people's courtesan..."

"Gongsun Yan..." Si Tian looked at the sky and suddenly laughed, "Well, occasionally I have to change my appetite and take a walk. Today I will go to Qin Tower for a drink."

Xiao Yibai snickered and stepped aside, bending slightly and making a "please" gesture.

Si Tian simply raised his legs and walked away. Xiao Yibai followed him silently. Suddenly he felt a cold gaze coming towards him. He suddenly stopped smiling, subconsciously turned around and raised his head slightly to look for - there was a beautiful man leaning on the railing on the top floor of Yile Pavilion.

, wearing a thin silk nightgown with his breasts exposed, his hair still looked wet, as if he had just taken a shower and changed clothes, his cheeks were flushed, and there was a feminine smile on the corner of his mouth, and he opened the window without hesitation.

The curtains are fanned with hands.

Xiao Yibai frowned, a little worried, and suddenly remembered that he met two people chatting together lively on the way home. Although the other person immediately shut up and ran away as soon as they noticed him, he still knew

I wrote down what the two talked about with great interest - the master of Jun Pavilion and Feng Siniang fought over a male favorite in Yi Le Pavilion.

Before he understood where this inexplicable rumor came from, when he stepped into the house, he saw his younger brother smelling of alcohol and Marshal Si Tian, ​​whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Xiao Yibai hesitated and thought for a moment. When he raised his head again to see more clearly, he suddenly discovered that the man by the window had disappeared.

"Hey, hurry up!" Si Tian shouted to him from a distance. Xiao Yibai followed without saying a word. In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the Qin Tower and saw that the doors and windows were closed and there was no guest. Si Tian frowned

Frowning, he raised his hand and knocked hard, complaining, "What are you doing? One of them drove me away, and the other simply didn't open the door. Don't you want to do business and make money in broad daylight? Hey - open the door!"

"

Xiao Yibai held down Si Tian's arm with a smile, and pushed the door open with his backhand. As expected, there was no one in the lobby. Qin Lou, which was usually bustling with people, was so quiet that no sound could be heard at this time.

"This..." Si Tian held his mouth in embarrassment, but Xiao Yibai had already walked in first. He pointed to the empty tables and chairs next to him, then pointed upstairs, and asked: "Marshal wants to have a drink directly in the lobby.

Or move to the private room on the second floor?"

"Do you own this building? Are you so familiar with it?" Marshal Si Tian's eyes darkened, and he walked in immediately, closing the door again. His eyes suddenly turned stern, even with a certain

Cold and wary, Xiao Yibai smiled casually, took a bottle of wine from the counter and placed it on the table next to him. He also picked up an exquisite wine glass, filled it and handed it over, saying: "The marshal deliberately pulled me out, wasn't it just for this?

Want to find a place to talk? Qin Tower is the safest place, no matter what you say, nothing will be leaked."

"Oh?" Si Tian took the wine he handed over, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he understood his true intention at once, and shook his arm, "I have been thinking about something wrong with Qin Lou a long time ago, now I see

It's really not that simple. Hey, where's the promised oiran lady? Will you be the only one drinking with me?"

Xiao Yibai also swung a full glass of wine, invited the other party to sit down, and continued: "You dragged my brother to Yile Pavilion to have fun, and you caused such shameful rumors, I haven't even done that yet.

I'm going to ask you to answer questions."

"Ah?" Si Tian looked at him strangely. He was stunned for a while before realizing what he was talking about. He couldn't help but laugh, "You are quite well-informed..."

"Gossip and rumors spread the fastest." Xiao Yibai smiled, and habitually opened his palms to take a look. He realized that he could not contact that person again after his spiritual power was blocked, and he smiled softly.

He clenched his fists.

"Well..." Si Tian's eyes tightened sharply, watching his every move, and blurted out, "Who are you talking to?"

"..."

"The aura on your body is somewhat similar to that girl." He took a sip of wine and his tone became more serious, "When I first saw her, she emerged from the sword spirit in your brother's hand, like a

The translucent ghost scared me, but then I found out that she was actually a real living person, but the aura on her body was a little strange. If I must say, she is somewhat similar to you now, so... you are probably

They all use the same technique, right?"

Xiao Yibai didn't reply, but there was a slight tingling sensation in his palms. He frowned and lowered his head. For the first time, he felt frightened. This former military pavilion master who seemed to have stopped interfering in any affairs could actually see through him at a glance.

secret!

"The fact that she can appear next to your brother like that proves that you can also use the same method to stay with another person, for example..." Si Tian deliberately slowed down his tone, more like waiting for Xiao Yibai

The person behind the scenes took the initiative to show up.

"He can't hear you now." Xiao Yibai shook his head in a low voice. Sure enough, he saw the other party's eyes suddenly light up and sighed, "There is indeed a similar technique, but some accidents happened and I couldn't contact him. The marshal is indeed the

Anyone holding the White Emperor Sword can be noticed by you, so you must have another purpose in returning to the Imperial Capital this time, right?"

"I'm investigating some things in the ANBU." Si Tian stared at him seriously and blurted out without thinking, "I think your people are also very concerned about this issue, right?"

Neither of them understood what they said, but they raised their eyes and exchanged glances at the same time, taking a tacit sip of wine.

"Be honest about your matter first." Si Tian sat quietly for a long time, staring at him, and then calmly started talking first, "I asked your brother about Tianzheng Mansion, but he didn't want to tell me.

Guess... it's probably related to you, right? After all, you are the only survivor, and you have a special relationship with the crown prince. What is the reason that makes him bury the truth at all costs? In all likelihood, it is also for you. "

"Does the Marshal really want to know?" Xiao Yibai had a determined look in the corner of his eyes, but suddenly pointed at his White Emperor Sword, "If you know the truth, I'm afraid I will be killed by your sword."

"Ha..." Si Tian sneered disdainfully and shook his head, "Don't be humble. I'm afraid I'm no match for you. You are... much scarier than your brother."

Xiao Yibai was noncommittal, lowering his head slightly and looking at the wine glass in his hand with a smile - through the pure wine, his eyes were a pure ice blue, representing the most obscure secret of this clan.
