Chapter 21

The Xiaoyao Sect is a sect built on countless mountains. Each peak is actually a separate mountain. The main hall of the Seven Peaks is built on the highest point of this mountain, and behind the main hall is a stretch of deep forest.

At night, there is only a little bit of deep moonlight in the dense jungle, and there are a few bright plants occasionally, which look eerie.

As Xu Dongqing walked in, she hugged her Guiwen sword tightly in fear. She felt that her courage and her cultivation had disappeared together. Looking at the dark forest, her feet were trembling in panic.

I don't know if it was an illusion, she was always suspicious, and felt that someone was following her, which made her panicked a little.

Fortunately, the place Guichen mentioned was not too far away, and before she ran out of courage, she finally saw the so-called crooked-neck tree.

The place where the Cultivation School is located is Lingshan, and so is the Xiaoyao School, so the trees behind the Seven Peaks are straighter and taller than the other, so the tree with a crooked neck is particularly eye-catching.

When Xu Dongqing saw the tree, she almost wanted to cry with joy. She held the sword and walked over tremblingly. The crows could be heard in her ears, and the slanted shadow of the crooked tree was in front of her eyes.

She knelt down under the crooked neck tree, digging the soil with the Guiyi sword, and scolded Guichen to death in her heart. After she finished scolding Guichen and scolded Da Ziyan, she kept whispering: "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, Prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony..."

She was digging so seriously that she didn't notice the figure behind her at all.

Da Ziyan hid in the darkness, looking thoughtfully at Xu Dongqing who was busy under the tree with crooked neck.

He has been paying attention to Xu Dongqing's movements all the time, and because he lives so close to her, he knows when Gui Chen looks for her.

Although he doesn't know what Guichen said to her, but thinking about it with his toes, he knows that it's not a good thing. He still knows how much Guichen hates him.

But what is more strange is that Gui Chen only went in for a while and then came out, and after a while, Xu Dongqing turned out from the back window, and Da Ziyan followed without thinking.

Xu Dongqing has no cultivation now, and he can't detect him, so he follows him very unscrupulously.

Then he saw that Xu Dongqing trembled all the way to the crooked neck tree, and now he started digging directly.

In fact, seeing this crooked neck tree, Da Ziyan almost understood why Gui Chen was looking for Xu Dongqing.

He dumped the medicine residue, so he naturally knew the crooked-neck tree. It seems that Guichen still didn't give up on investigating him, somehow he asked about this place, and then went to report it to Xu Dongqing.

Xu Dongqing was hard enough, he didn't have any cultivation base, and he dared to sneak out in the middle of the night to dig up the medicine residue, and he didn't even bring Guichen with him.

That's how arrogant it is.

Now is a good time to kill her.

Da Ziyan narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous gleam flashed in his eyes, he grasped the short dagger in his sleeve, with murderous intent surging in his heart.

He wanted to save Xu Dongqing's life, at least he wasn't going to kill her for the next three months, but he couldn't stop her from finding her own death.

Didn't he secretly come to look for the medicine dregs in the middle of the night to convict him without anyone noticing?If he hadn't come out tonight, maybe tomorrow she would have to question him with the medicine dregs she found tonight.

That being the case, you can't blame him for being cruel.

He leaned over quietly, and under the light of the moon, he saw Xu Dongqing crouching on the ground more and more clearly.

Unaware of the danger, she tried her best to dig the soil with her head down, and then carefully identified the dark medicinal residues in the soil. She carefully picked up some and looked at the moonlight.

Da Ziyan watched her movements, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and quietly took out the dagger in his hand, shining coldly under the moonlight.

But just when he was about to stab, she saw Xu Dongqing stand up sharply, and threw the medicine dregs in his hand into the pool beside him.

Da Ziyan was startled by the sudden movement, and immediately retreated under the shadow of the tree.

This kind of medicine dregs is boiled from elixir, and it is not easy to dissolve when buried in the soil, let alone disposed of casually, but if it is thrown into the water, although it will not melt, it will definitely disperse without a trace.

Even if there is any medicinal effect, it can no longer be found out.

Xu Dongqing looked at the medicine dregs that gradually disappeared into the water, nodded in satisfaction, then continued to pick up the remaining medicine dregs on the ground, and threw them into the water with a grunt.

She threw it so hard that she couldn't help mumbling, and Da Ziyan was so close that she heard her whispered complaint clearly.

She only heard her whisper: "I really took it, I didn't know how to deal with my own hands and feet after being poisoned, and I was asked to deal with the aftermath. Fortunately, Guichen reported to me before coming, and I tried to send him away Otherwise, I really don't know how to continue protecting this guy."

"I'm still smart, and I thought of destroying the criminal evidence in advance. I'm really great." Xu Dongqing praised himself, showing a somewhat smug expression, and complained about Da Ziyan by the way: "Stupid than Da Ziyan, he can't even control the dose of poison. Alright, otherwise, how could the sect master brother see it."

"It's so annoying, you want me to find the murderer, how can I find it, stupid than Daziyan! I'm so annoying, I'm so annoying!"

Da Ziyan under the shadow of the tree: "..."

Da Ziyan's expression was indescribable for a moment.

He looked at Xu Dongqing, who was so busy and didn't forget to chatter, and felt real doubts for the first time.

Xu Dongqing... did he actually know that he was the one who poisoned him?

But if she knew, why would she drink those soothing soups?
And this act of sending Guichen away in the middle of the night to destroy the evidence, is he protecting him?
But why?
Why do you want to protect him when you know he poisoned her?
For the first time, Da Ziyan felt that he could not understand Xu Dongqing.

This woman was always arrogant and stupid before, with all kinds of bad ideas in her mind all the time. Although it was disgusting, it was really attractive. With just one glance, Da Ziyan knew what bad ideas she was thinking.

But now... Ever since Xu Dongqing started being kind to him inexplicably, he couldn't understand her anymore.

All kinds of small expressions all day long, although he still doesn't look very smart, but... the inexplicable and disgusting feeling has disappeared.

It's like being a different person.

Da Ziyan's eyes gradually darkened, he put away the dagger, and walked out slowly.

He's going to test her out.

At that time, Xu Dongqing was talking to the soil in his hand and said: "Drug dregs, medicine dregs, I am wronged that you died without a whole body, if you want to blame, blame the stupid Bi Da Ziyan, it is all his fault."

"Really?" A low male voice rang out: "Why are you blaming Da Ziyan?"

"Because he's an idiot, he can't even take another poison, and I've taken him..." Xu Dongqing blurted out a bunch of words without thinking about it, and by the time she realized, more than half of what she had said had already been said. She froze all over.

"What is he?" Da Ziyan asked slowly: "Master, why don't you continue talking?"

Xu Dongqing: "..."
