Half-life immortal

Chapter 23 Private meeting and stalking, the poisonous snake lurking in the dark
Boy Bai Yu sweated profusely, and said, "Master, is it not good for us to do this? Will Mr. Feng be angry if he finds out?"

She widened her eyes and said: "If you are angry, you can be angry. Are we still afraid of him? Could it be that he can still eat me? Who told him not to teach me swordsmanship and go out half-heartedly...uh..."

She spoke quickly, and didn't realize that she had used the wrong words, so she felt that the words were inappropriate. Fortunately, Boy Bai Yu didn't catch it.

At this time, what Bai Yutongzi was thinking was, how could his master have such a strong heart for gossip?This is really... awe-inspiring...

Not long after, Feng Yutian went out.

Xue Qinglan and Tongzi Bai Yu watched him from a distance, and only after seeing him walking too far away that he was almost out of sight, they chased after him.There is no way, the cultivation base is too far away, if you get too close, you will definitely be noticed, so you have to hang from a distance.

The two of them were still worried at first, what if Feng Yutian suddenly disappeared with Yujian flying?But fortunately, he was only going around the side of Tianxuan Peak.

There were quite a lot of people in the place where he walked at first, but the more he walked, the more remote he went, and finally he entered a deep mountain valley, and there were no people around.

"Master, why do I feel that this place doesn't look like a good place?"

"That's right, it really was sneaky, right? I said he must have met someone in private, either on a date or conspiring! Look at the quiet environment here, it looks like a good place for a private meeting!"

"Uh... no, master, I mean, did we discover something we shouldn't have discovered, we should go back quickly, so as not to get into trouble."

"Oh, why are you so timid, what are you afraid of? I'm here! I'll hold you up when the sky falls!"

The master and servant were whispering while following from a distance, but they kept their voices so low that they could only hear them with their mouths close to their ears.Because this place is too quiet except for the sound of gurgling water, any other sound may disturb Feng Yutian in front.

Fortunately, Feng Yutian didn't seem to be too careful today, and his pace wasn't too fast, just like he usually came out to relax.

"This guy, his acting skills are really good. Let's not talk about what he is going to do. Just this indifferent performance is comparable to this lady's acting skills... Xiaobai, you have to be careful of this murderer in the future. He kills without batting an eye."

"No, master, didn't you say that Mr. Feng and Mr. Xi are very reliable people?"

The master and servant were probably too bored to follow people, so they chatted casually.

"Hey? Pay attention, pay attention! Someone is coming over there!" Xue Qinglan suddenly lowered her voice excitedly, because she saw a person coming from the other side of the waterfall from a distance.

Because the distance was too far, I couldn't see the person's face clearly, but it seemed to be a woman from the clothes and figure.

Bai Yutong was dumbfounded, and said in a low voice: "No way, Mr. Feng is really dating someone else?"

Xue Qinglan proudly said: "Hey, let me just say it. Don't look at that guy's sanctimonious appearance, in fact, there are a lot of bad intentions, and it's always right to be careful. Alas, it's too far away, I really want to hear what they say something."

Boy Bai Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, do you want to hear it?"

"Huh? Do you have any good ideas? Don't hide it, just tell me!"

"Master, I have a little trick for using spiritual energy. It is called 'Shunfeng Ear' among our spirit beasts, and it belongs to the blue bird family..."

Before he finished talking about Xue Qinglan, he interrupted: "Don't talk so much nonsense, teach me how to use it quickly! Otherwise, the two of them will be finished chatting."

Boy Bai Yu had no choice but to tell this little trick.Of course, this was originally an innate skill of the blue bird spirit beast, which was later spread among spirit beasts, and after being simplified, it became a skill for using aura.The principle is rather simple, that is, to stimulate the sense of hearing with aura, and use the aura to gather the ears, so that the ears can feel the sound fluctuations between the sky and the earth more delicately, so that they can hear farther.

Xue Qinglan is not stupid, Bai Yutongzi explained the method to her, and she succeeded in the first try, and she could hear some whispering voices.

"Senior Brother Feng, I don't have any clue yet, or the man will show his feet after a while."

This is the woman's voice, it sounds quite pleasant, it should be a beauty.

"No, that's the end of this matter, Junior Sister Yulian, don't meddle in it anymore."

This is Feng Yutian's voice.

It turned out that the woman was called Yulian, I don't know her identity, and what was the matter they were talking about, why did they meet secretly?
"But Senior Brother Feng, someone is going to harm you, how can you ignore it?"

Xue Qinglan was slightly taken aback when she heard this sentence, what is the trouble?How come there is infighting?

Does anyone dare to frame Feng Yutian?He is Zi Yuan's beloved disciple, isn't he afraid of offending the immortal if he is framed?
Then Feng Yutian's voice came again: "Don't worry, even if that person wants to do something again, now that I am in Taiqing Mountain, he has no chance."

"No one dares to act rashly on Mount Taiqing, but senior brother, you won't stay on the mountain forever, there will always be a chance to go down the mountain, and then..."

"At that time, I will try my best to catch him." Feng Yutian interrupted Yulian's words, and made a very firm conclusion.

It was obvious that this woman named Yulian cared about him very much, she asked him warmly, and told him to be careful, chatted for a while before reluctantly leaving.And Feng Yutian's attitude towards this person is not warm, but not cold, just like how he usually treats people.Xue Qinglan felt that she was always confused about Feng Yutian's attitude, whether he was cold on the outside or hot on the inside, or was he cold in the end?But no matter whether he is interested in that Yulian or not, Yulian must be interested in him, you can hear it from the voice!

Although Xue Qinglan has never experienced real love between men and women, she is a woman, so she can naturally capture girls' thoughts keenly.She is sure that this Yulian is absolutely in love with Feng Yutian openly or secretly, the only difference is whether she has confessed or not.Speaking of it, it is true that a handsome young man like Feng Yutian, with such strength, completely fits the image of an ordinary woman's dream lover. If he is not so taciturn and reclusive, his popularity with women should be better, right?

After Yulian walked away, Feng Yutian stood still, sighed, turned and said to the air: "Come out."

Xue Qinglan was taken aback, and shrank behind the stone wall, thinking that he would not find out, right?

Seeing that there was no movement, Feng Yutian said impatiently: "Need me to carry you out?"

Xue Qinglan took a sneak peek, and found that he was staring at her side impartially.She was embarrassed for a while, knowing that her whereabouts had been revealed, she had to pull Bai Yu boy out, pretending to greet naturally: "Hey, what a coincidence! You are here too? Haha, there is no coincidence, you are here to wait for someone? Oh, I just Just walk around, walk around casually, that won't bother you, goodbye!"

As she said that, she hurriedly dragged Bai Yutong away with a guilty conscience, not wanting to wait for Feng Yutian to speak.

Feng Yutian was very helpless to her, and said: "Okay, don't make trouble. Did you hear it?"

Xue Qinglan shook her head like a rattle, and said, "I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it, I didn't hear anything, what can I hear after such a distance? Hehe, we're just passing by, passing by."

He sighed and said, "Can you pass by to get to this place? There is only one mountain road to come in. If you don't follow me, it will not be easy to find this place."

Seeing that she couldn't get away with it, she had to say frankly: "Okay! I saw you and that senior sister Yulian and so on, but you don't have to be embarrassed, you can continue to talk about love, I will never tell it! I promise!"

He knew she would be so misunderstood, and said: "Junior Sister Yulian and I are not in the relationship you think. I just asked her to help me check one thing."

"What's the matter?" She blinked, obviously very curious.After listening to half of it just now, she was already itchy.

He shook his head, obviously intending to continue to avoid talking about it.

Xue Qinglan resigned this time, and said, "Hey, I think I have the right to know! You see, I run to your side every day, if someone is eyeing you and intends to do something to you, don't I have to guard against it?" Are you on the point? You are planning to make me miserable by hiding it from me, right?"

Her threat was indeed effective. Feng Yutian thought for a while, weighed the pros and cons, and finally confessed to her: "Actually, I'm not sure. You still remember the time we met, I was ordered by Master Baigu to go down the mountain to fetch purple." Yingzhu, but apart from meeting you by chance, everything else was not going well. Not long after I arrived in Yuzhou, I encountered an ambush. They were very strong loose cultivators, and they were extremely professional killers. There were five of them in total. For all are above me."

Xue Qinglan wasn't stupid either, and quickly remembered the scene when she met Feng Yutian, when he was killing people.As for the dead person, she didn't see clearly at the time, and she didn't have time to take care of it. Now that she thinks about it, the enemy who can force him to use fierceness must be in danger of life.

So he was ambushed?It doesn't sound like a coincidence, is it to deal with him specifically?

She hadn't thought about this question before, but now that she thought about it, many questions seemed to surface.If he didn't have the big weapon of ferociousness, then he would definitely die in the assassination of five professional killers.Even if he used fierce energy to kill his opponent, the aftereffects of using fierce energy are very strong, and he would still be close to death.If he hadn't met Xue Qinglan, he really didn't know what would have happened.

This is a dead end!Obviously a conspiracy against him.

She asked: "You mean, someone leaked your whereabouts and bought someone to kill you?"

He nodded and said: "It should be. Then in the Yuzhou Bamboo Forest, the straw demon we encountered was also very unusual. Generally speaking, there should be no monsters guarding Ziyingzhu around, and the Ziyingzhu in Yuzhou happens to have demons." , and I happened to go to Yuzhou, so it’s too much of a coincidence.”

She immediately understood, and said: "Someone led you to a dangerous place, and deliberately set up an ambush to ambush you. If it wasn't for your fate, you might have died long ago, so you want to find out who is behind the scenes now?"

He frowned and said: "Yes. It's just that the investigation process was not smooth, and I can't go to investigate in an open and aboveboard manner. I can only ask others to avoid making mistakes."

Xue Qinglan was very puzzled, and said: "Why can't you be aboveboard? You can tell your master! Isn't Master Ziyuan very kind to you? I believe he will definitely stand up for you."

He was silent for a long time, and said: "Betraying each other is a very serious crime. Without evidence, I can't wrongly accuse my classmates. What if I guess wrong..."

She said disapprovingly: "You are too talkative, right? You were almost killed, yet you still managed to make such a nonchalant investigation. If I had made a scene, everyone would have known about it! In fact, it would be good to make a scene, at least the other party You have to think carefully before you start. And I don’t think it’s necessary for you to scare the snake. Now that the enemy is in the dark and we are clearly aware, why are you afraid of scaring the snake? It’s good that this snake comes out, and we can catch it right away!” As she said that, she also angrily made a gesture of catching a snake.

He noticed that she used the word "we" and emphasized again: "Junior Sister Xue, this matter has nothing to do with you. Since the other party can mobilize so many casual cultivators, there must be a lot of power behind it. His goal is Me, you don't have to take this muddy water."

Xue Qinglan said leisurely: "Alright, alright, you are really worrying too much."

She looked indifferent on her face, but she began to think in her heart: the enemy should be someone from Taiqing Mountain, or at least someone who has close ties with Taiqing Mountain; Or a conflict of interest... There should be no conflict of interest, he seems to be indifferent to the world... Secondly, the other party knows his mission...

"By the way, how many people know that you are going to help Master Baigu find Ziyingzhu?"

"There are quite a few people who know about it, and there is still a gap between when I received the mission and when I set off."

"That is to say, the range of suspects is wide, and there is still enough time to arrange? This is not easy to deal with, hey, is it possible that it is Master Baigu..."

Before she finished speaking, Feng Yutian said sharply: "Impossible! Master Baigu is highly respected, how could he do such a thing!"

Xue Qinglan thought of the old man's benevolent and kind-hearted look, and he really didn't look like a bad person, so she gave up and said, "Okay, I'm just talking. Next question, why are you going to Yuzhou? Who recommended you go?"

Feng Yutian replied very cooperatively: "I went to the old bookstore to find information about Ziyingzhu, and one of the books said that Ziyingzhu may exist in places such as Yuzhou."

"The old bookstore at the foot of Tianshu Peak? It seems to be a clue. It seems that we should start from there."

He shook his head and said: "I thought so too, so I asked Junior Sister Yulian from Tianshu Peak to help me go to the old bookstore to investigate. It's a pity that I can't find that book, but I can find many other books introducing Ziyingzhu .”

Xue Qinglan understood the key point, and said, "You mean, someone hid all the books that introduced Ziyingzhu, left only one for you to see, and then destroyed that book afterward? It's so meticulous. ? Is it the person in charge of the old bookstore?"

He denied again: "There are people coming and going in the old bookstore, and the books are also changing. Even if you don't manage the old bookstore, you can achieve the same effect by just buying those books before me. It's a pity that I was not prepared at the time. Pay attention to this."

"Then can we find out the book purchase and borrowing books?"

"Junior Sister Yulian checked and said that the account books of the old bookstore last month were destroyed by an accidental fire."

"There is a strong smell of conspiracy, unusual, so unusual!" Xue Qinglan thought about it, and asked again: "Then have you ever offended anyone? The kind of bitterness and hatred."

Feng Yutian didn't speak this time, but just shook his head.If it wasn't for this incident, he would not have known that there were people who hated him so much and wished to kill him on Mount Taiqing.

She asked: "Where was that Yang Hong that day? He seemed to be upset with you. Are there many people like him?"

He said in a deep voice: "When you get along with the same family, quarrels and frictions are inevitable, but it shouldn't be so hateful."

Xue Qinglan blinked her big bright eyes, and said: "It's hard to say. People, once they become jealous, they can do anything. Especially the kind of people who have nothing to do all day, when they are too idle, they start to dig into the horns, and then It’s not uncommon to pick and kill those who don’t like one by one, right?”

Feng Yutian was speechless, but felt that the more he thought about these things, the more irritable he became, so he said: "Forget it, there are no clues anyway. Just remember this and be careful in the future. No matter who that person is, in the He will never dare to move rashly in Taiqing Mountain, you can rest assured about this. It is getting late, are you still practicing swordsmanship?"

"Practice! Of course you have to practice! This is a business, how can you forget it? Only after you have practiced your swordsmanship can you catch bad guys!" As she spoke, her eyes turned into crescent moons, her smile was bright, and she took the lead on the way when she came. He walked over and urged, "Hurry up, it's been so long."

Looking at her back, Feng Yutian's expression suddenly became gentler, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Xue Qinglan didn't see this scene, she had never seen him smile, and she didn't think this piece of wood could laugh, but Boy Bai Yu saw it inadvertently, and then looked at his master's back thoughtfully , I don't know what I'm thinking.
