"Oh, Xie Ge actually lost..."
Ni Xiao was so angry that she stamped her feet. She hadn't seen the exciting competition, so why did she just leave the game like this?
After Xie Ge left, the scholar also followed him off the ring, and the ring that attracted everyone's attention instantly became an empty place.
No one was guarding the ring, and the spectators who were yelling at each other dispersed like birds of prey.
In the blink of an eye, only Zhang Zheng, Ni Xiao, and the bearded man on the high platform were left in the huge arena No. 13, counting the silver coins in their bags with a pained look on their faces.
Ni Xiao rolled his eyes, looked at Zhang Zheng flatteringly, and begged: "Master Taoist, let's go to another arena to watch the competition."
This little girl is really good at talking. If she asks for help, she will call her Master Shifu. If she doesn't ask for help, she will be called Blind Half Immortal.
Zhang Zheng laughed, but she still remembered what she promised Shen Chang'an before. Although she was dissatisfied with this guy, her words should not be changed without reason.
Then he shook his head and refused without hesitation, "Brother Shen will be furious if he can't find you later."
But Ni Xiao had never seen Shen Changan angry before, and had no idea about it. He pursed his lips and said coquettishly: "No, Brother Shen won't be angry."
He won't be angry with you, he will just want to kill her more.
Zhang Zheng still refused to let go, "This is not good, why don't you wait until Mr. Shen comes to discuss it with him?"
Ni Xiao hummed, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and stared at Zhang Zheng with his eyes wide with anger.
No matter how much she begged, Zhang Zheng turned around without any burden, weighed the storage bag with satisfaction, walked to the stairs and sat down with Shi Shiran.
…
"I've met the young master."
"No need to be polite."
Shen Changan waved his hand to signal the person who was saluting to get up on his own, lifted the gray gauze curtain and walked into the inner room.
"Chang'an is coming."
A hoarse voice came from behind the white jade bead curtain. It was lazy and casual, a little leisurely, and charming.
Outside the beaded curtain like raindrops, Shen Changan knelt on one knee, his lowered eyes darkened for a moment, then returned to calm in the blink of an eye.
"I met my aunt in Chang'an."
I could only hear the jingling sound of jade stones colliding with each other. The curtain of white jade beads was half lifted, and a slender white hand lifted the curtain. The two contrasted with each other, and the whiteness was dazzling. For a moment, I couldn't tell which one was whiter.
Shen Changan did not dare to raise his head, and his heart became even heavier.
"Get up."
The man seemed to just lift the curtain to look at him, and then lowered the bead curtain.
"How's the old guy doing?"
With a snap of fingers, a candlelight lit up behind the bead curtain, burning faintly, making the night in the room even darker.
Shen Chang'an stood up slowly after receiving the order, placed his hands cautiously by his side, and replied respectfully.
"Everything has been arranged perfectly. He didn't notice anything unusual. It must be absolutely perfect this time."
The person behind the curtain paused for a moment, then said leisurely: "Then child, what are you going to do?"
Shen Changan was rarely silent.
The person behind the curtain sighed, "That's all, you go down first."
Shen Changan bowed and exited the inner room, straightened up and lowered the curtain, covering the dazzling white jade beads.
"Master, walk slowly."
The young man in gray robe lowered his eyebrows and saluted, watching Shen Changan's figure leave the place and disappear.
He turned around and knelt down facing the inner room, "Reporting to the master, there is nothing abnormal found on Shen Changan."
The bead curtain was lifted from the inside, and a pair of naked jade feet landed on the ground, like soft jade and white snow, stepping softly on the floor covered with white tiger skin.
"The reincarnation of cause and effect is really hard to understand..."
…
"Xiao Xiao."
Ni Xiao, who was greatly frustrated in front of Zhang Zheng, a hard-hearted Taoist priest, turned around and responded in frustration, "Brother Shen."
Shen Changan raised his eyebrows, walked up to her and asked with concern: "What's wrong? You're not enjoying the competition?"
"Not only was it not fun, I didn't see much of it at all."
Ni Xiao complained angrily and glanced at Zhang Zheng as if complaining.
After hearing the cause and effect of the incident, Shen Changan chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take you to see it again next time I have a chance."
He gently touched the top of Ni Xiao's black and fluffy hair and said, "Don't be angry, your cheeks are almost as swollen as laziness."
Lalan is a pet chinchilla raised by Ni Xiao.
Shen Changan, who was as gentle as the rising sun, turned his head and looked at Zhang Zheng with cold eyes without any disguise, but his tone was as usual.
"Master Taoist, please come with me. I will take you to the courtyard."
Zhang Zheng didn't care and agreed with a smile.
Patting his clothes and standing up, he silently followed the two of them and left.
Ni Xiao was sent back to Ni Mansion by Shen Changan on the way.
At this time, the rising sun has completely disappeared from the top of the mountain, and the clear moonlight casts a clear ray, as cool as water.
Thousands of lights are on quietly in the dark night, guarding a warm world.
Following Shen Changan, he walked around for a full hour and finally stood in front of the main entrance of a mansion.
Shen Changan paused for a moment, then stepped open the door. As the old door, which had not been moved for a long time, made a creaking sound, the scene inside the mansion was revealed.
Under the clear bright moon, the bamboo shadows and leaves in the courtyard are mottled and swaying in the wind.
Shen Changan stepped into the courtyard, and Zhang Zheng followed.
The moonlight was not very bright, so we couldn't see each other's expressions clearly.
"This is where it has been uninhabited for many years. You can clean it up yourself."
Shen Changan put down these words and turned around to leave without any warning. Before leaving, he said again: "At most three months."
March is enough.
Zhang Zheng cupped her hands and thanked her from a distance, "Thank you, Master Shen, for your selfless help."
If no one responds, the person has already left.
Zhang Zheng took a look at the house. It was such a big house, covering an area of ​​at least a hundred hectares. She could clean it all by herself until the end of time.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Zheng walked away. It would be better to find someone to clean it tomorrow. Anyway, a lot of silver was just received in the storage bag.
After writing down the location of the mansion, Zhang Zheng tapped his toes under the cover of darkness and flew away, returning to the inn in less than a quarter of an hour.
As soon as he opened the door, Jiao Min quickly cast his eyes for help.
"Sister Zhang Zheng, you are finally back. If you don't come back, you will lose the little junior brother you finally brought back."
Junior brother? Ten years of salary!
After closing the door, Zhang Zheng took a few steps at a time, walked to the child huddled in the corner, and squatted down.
He was still wearing the blood-stained tattered clothes, and his eyes were locked on her from the moment she came in.
"Does the meal I prepare taste good to you?"
With such a ridiculous question, the child was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Seeing this, Zhu Tianshun, who was sitting on the chair opposite Xie Ge, replied: "Junior brother doesn't want to eat. I will leave when the food is cold."
Zhang Zheng straightened up, picked up the clean clothes and soft handkerchief placed on the table, squatted down in front of the child again, and looked straight into his dry eyes.
"I'm sorry I came back late. How about I take you to another place to change your clothes? After washing, you can buy food. You can buy whatever you want."
Zhang Zheng put the clothes into the storage bag and stretched out her hands towards the child with familiarity.
The child's eyes flashed, he threw himself on her and hugged her neck tightly.
