I became a master of alchemy by picking up trash

The night is cold as water.

Chu Yunyi sat alone under the cherry blossom tree, in front of him was a hanging sash as thick as a curtain, lost in thought.At this moment, he finally understood Ye Lan's mood when he was sitting under this tree.

Scenes of the past came to mind, and it wasn't until familiar footsteps came from behind that Chu Yunyi came back from his thoughts and turned to look at Li Xing, who was slowly walking towards him.

"Yunyou, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Qi and blood floated on the surface, and an abnormal blush appeared in the corners of Chu Yunyi's eyes, which neutralized his cold and distant temperament, and added a sense of charm to those purple pupils, making people unable to look away.

Li Xing sat next to him and said with a hint of sadness: "There are distinguished guests arriving tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep."

Chu Yunyi's expression was surprised for a moment, then returned to calm, and he looked at Li Xing's profile quietly.

"I really didn't expect it to be him."

Since Li Xing said Ming Zhen would come, they must have met him today, and Chu Yunyi knew who that person was after a moment's thought.

"Well, no wonder his name is not on the list."

It is well known that anyone who is seriously ill will not interrupt others' rest with a banquet without the sense of humor.He didn't appear on the list, not because he was too guilty to participate, but because he never received an invitation.

Knowing Mingzhen's current identity, and looking back at the many doubts in the Xiyuan Tournament, I will have the answer.

As a special guest of the competition and a formation consultant, he naturally has many opportunities to tamper with the teleportation formation.

The so-called injury was just a trick that he carefully arranged to deceive others, turn from light to dark, and enter the Sand Snake Tunnel to plot against Chu Yunyi.

Feeling Chu Yunyi's gaze, Li Xing turned to look into his eyes and said softly: "It's about to end, are you afraid?"

Chu Yunyi looked at Li Xing, his purple eyes seemed to have been crushed by thousands of stars, shining brightly, but there was deep regret and reluctance in his eyes.

"A bit."

Li Xing couldn't bear it, and just when he was about to open his mouth to comfort him, Chu Yunyi continued: "My fighting power has been greatly reduced now. I'm afraid I won't be able to kill Ming Zhen for you."

She is not afraid of death, but is afraid that her life will not be able to help her in the last moment.Chu Yunyi's answer made Li Xing's heart suddenly hurt.

"You have helped me enough. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I will thank you."

"I don't want your thanks, I want you to live well."

The tenderness and tenderness in Chu Yunyi's eyes almost drowned her. Just when Li Xing was about to look away, he suddenly reached out and touched her cheek.

Li Xing felt panicked, and her reason told her that she should stay away, but her whole body was unable to move as if a immobilization spell had been cast on her.

The warm palm stopped a few millimeters away from her skin. Li Xing clearly saw the struggle and pain in Chu Yunyi's eyes, but the next second these emotions were all hidden deep in his purple eyes.

Chu Yunyi's hand changed direction and gently tucked a strand of Li Xing's hair behind her ear, never touching an inch of her skin.

"Axing, you have to remember that after Ming Zhen's parasitism, the Chu Yunyi you know no longer exists. No matter what sweet words he says, you can't believe it. Everything will go according to plan."

Li Xing's voice contained a tremor that even she didn't notice, and he said softly: "Don't worry, I won't show mercy."

Their ultimate plan was to seal the "invisible" Mingzhen in the tangible body of Chu Yunyi, and then smash the container and the monster inside.

Li Xing took off the Yueying hairpin and pinned it on Chu Yunyi's collar. It looked like an exquisite brooch. "This is for you to wear. I hope you have good luck."

The faint fragrance of Li Xing's hair still remained on the hairpin. Chu Yunyi gently stroked the petals, as if he had seen the night when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom again.

"Let's go."

------

Mingzhen effortlessly untied the Chu family's outer defense formation and wandered leisurely in the small square in front of the main courtyard with his hands behind his back, as comfortable as at home.

Suddenly, a crisp female voice broke the tranquility of the night.

"Mr. Lin, you are so excited. You stay up late at night and go to other people's houses to hang out in the gardens. Are you polite?"

Mingzhen stopped and looked at the two people walking slowly from a distance, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.

"Sorry, I was rude. I rang the doorbell for a long time and no one answered, so I had to come in by myself."

Ming Zhen sensed it carefully and found it very strange: "But I never expected that the huge Chu family would be so deserted, without even a guard. Moreover, I have been here for such a long time, and the patrolling guards didn't respond. This - It’s unreasonable.”

Before coming to the Chu family, Mingzhen used the snooping technique to connect with Wei Chen to explore the way, but found that no information could be fed back.He contacted a dozen other parasitized informants, but still found nothing.

Mingzhen thought it was because the eyeliners were sleeping heavily and he was very tired recently, but now he was already at Chu's house, so close to the eyeliners that it was puzzling that he couldn't connect to them.

Li Xing gave him a look of "Are you stupid?" and said slowly and quietly: "Do you want to leave the guards as your helpers? Stop dreaming. They were all knocked down by my medicine. You can't find any of them in the Chu family." Puppet helps.”

Mingzhen's dark red pupils narrowed suddenly, and the expression on his face became ferocious.

"So you already know my methods. Did Xue Han tell you?"

Li Xing looked at him with a half-smile, the answer was self-evident.

Ming Zhen gritted his teeth: "Huh, Xue Han is such a waste, it is really not a pity to die!"

Despite all precautions, Xue Han still leaked the secret to the person who should least know it. Xue Han deserves to die, and Lin Yin is still a waste if he couldn't stop it in time.

Why can't his subordinates be as good as Chu Yunyi and Li Xing? Thinking of this, Mingzhen's eyes suddenly became obsessed and greedy when looking at Chu Yunyi.

"But don't be complacent. If you hadn't made the innate holy body emit a strange fragrance, attracting me to take the initiative, you still wouldn't know my true identity."

This scent simply made him want to stop. Even though he knew it was Li Xing's trap to tempt him, he couldn't help but jump into it.

Li Xing: "That's not necessarily the case. Xue Han said that the skin that Ming Zhen is using now is an acquaintance of Lin Cai'er, so the relatives and friends of the Lin family are the main suspects. Even if the banquet guest method doesn't work, I will find out. The one on your head will only be delayed by a day or two at most."

Li Xing raised his hand and fanned in front of his nose, and continued: "Do you think you concealed it well? Haha, don't kid yourself. Even with strong perfume, I can't cover up the smell of rotting corpses on your body. If I'm not wrong, , your hands are almost rotten."

Ming Zhen's expression collapsed for a moment. Li Xing was right, Lin Zhi'an's skin should have been changed long ago.

But since the Xiyuan Tournament, Chu Yunyi had hid in the Babel Tower. In addition, Xue Han's rebellion and the Zhuxian Sect's many strongholds suffered devastating blows. Mingzhen was busy dealing with it and never had the chance to take action.

Now that the skin he had dreamed of was right in front of him, and his face was radiant, and his condition was much better than he imagined. Ming Zhen was very happy, and he didn't care about arguing with Li Xing to vent his anger.

Mingzhen's gaze crossed Li Xing and landed on Chu Yunyi, smiling evilly:
"Young Master Chu, you made me wait so hard!"
