As a result, it is possible to achieve success.

[Hongli: Has Mr. Heiyang understood again? ]

[Heiyang: No! I didn’t think of this just now. This question really stumped me! ]

[Hongli:******]

[Hei Yang: No plan is perfect, let’s give it a try, what if it works? ]

【Hongli: If that doesn’t work… I’ll be gone, wuwuwu…】

【Hei Yang: Anyway, it’s not me. 】

[Hongli:? 】

[Heiyang: Uh, I mean, believe me! ]

【Hongli: Okay...】

[Heiyang: Brother Butian is going to tell a story, listen carefully! ]

“That day, I finished my practice as usual and went out to relax.”

Hong Butian fell into reminiscence: "On the way, I heard something about an immortal who came out of the forest and recruited disciples, I just smiled, after all, I can join a famous and upright sect, why would I follow a casual cultivator of unknown origin?

All I could think about at the time was what kind of skills I would be taught when I joined the Five Elements Sect in a few days, and whether I could successfully return to my innate state."

“Just then, an old man in a gray robe appeared and asked me stealthily if I wanted to see something good.

I thought he was a guy selling unhealthy books, so I ignored him, but he suddenly undressed and showed me…"

"Hiss!"*4

The four people around him gasped: "Is it so terrifying?"

"you do not say."

Hong Butian sighed: "He showed me a strange herb, I can't remember the specific shape and color, but I subconsciously felt that it was strange - I said gray before, it should be confused with the gray robe he wore.

Specifically, that kind of herb can greatly increase the chance of breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm. He showed it to me because he saw that I was about to enter the Dao. He would definitely not let ordinary people see it.

At that time, I seemed to be possessed by a ghost, or I had fallen into a trap, because I smelled a strange fragrance, my head felt a little swollen, and a voice popped up in my mind: I must get it!

After that, I remember we found a secluded place to discuss the transaction, and then..."

"Then what?"

"Then I seemed to have turned into a herb!"

Hong Butian showed fear on his face: "Breaking out from the darkness, exposed to the wind and sun, lonely year after year, sinking into darkness all day long.

After that, I woke up after an unknown amount of time, and this is what happened...

This is all I know. If you ask me more, I won’t have anything more to say!”

"The old man in gray robe..."

Hong Xiaochen and Hong Zhenjia looked at each other and nodded. Although it seemed that they didn't understand any information, they seemed to know a lot of clues.

"I'll have someone notify Lao San and the others later."

Hong Zhenjia said seriously: "Just investigate according to the direction and clues provided by Xiaotian."

"I will also explain the situation to the city lord."

Hong Xiaochen's face was serious: "After all, this matter is not just a matter of one or two families, but a major event that threatens the stability of the city. We need to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized!"

Heiyang and Hongli looked at each other, nodded, and said seriously: "If that's the case, then let's go and help investigate. One more person means more strength. Let's help Brother Butian recover as soon as possible!"

“It’s great that you think this way!”

"That's right, let's all work together, shoulder to shoulder, to catch this mastermind!"

……

"Your heat lasts only three minutes?"

"I also want to ask you, who made the promise righteously before?"

The pavilion in the middle of the lake, the stove, the blanket, the hot milk, the salted fish and the lazy dog...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 25: Laziness with Guilt

"How to say?"

Hong Li took a cup of hot milk and sipped it: "Didn't you say you were going to help investigate the case? Why are you being lazy here?"

"You still have the nerve to criticize me?"

Heiyang said calmly: "It's your business in the first place. I'm just here to help. But you don't work hard to investigate the case, and you blame me for being lazy?"

"But when I think about checking so many clues, it seems very troublesome."

Hongli curled her lips: "Then I was too lazy to check..."

"What a coincidence, I thought so too."

"Yeah, right."

"But you have to praise me for something."

Heiyang said seriously: "The blanket I brought this time is big enough, so we don't have to worry about not being able to cover our whole body and causing others to fight over it!"

"Yes, yes, I praise you."

Hongli waved her hand perfunctorily: "I wish you could use your attentiveness for something serious someday."

"What is a decent place?!"

Heiyang's eyes widened: "Isn't this a serious matter in order to get a better rest experience?"

"That makes sense, indeed!"

"That's fine then."

"so……"

Hong Li sighed: "Are we really just going to do nothing and just sit here and do nothing?"

"Your situation is..."

Heiyang casually said, "Although I didn't touch a word of the summer homework, I still had fun with a guilty feeling until the last day."

"What is summer homework?"

Hongli turned her head in confusion: "New word? Can you explain it?"

"You don't need to know this kind of thing. The meaning isn't very good anyway."

"No, I won't allow any jokes that you know and I don't!"

"Ha, that's too much. We've been playing together since we were little, don't you know this?"

"Too!"

Hongli nodded: "I was originally a very hardworking and lovely girl, pure as a blank sheet of paper, but you led me astray and turned me into the lazy dog ​​I am today."

"No, I won't take the blame for this."

Hei Yang curled his lips and said, "You are just like this. The hardworking, cute, pure and innocent things are all made up by you. You have never experienced this stage in your life.

I knew this from the first moment I saw you."

"I heard from my mother."

Hong Li's eyes were calm: "Three days after you were born, I was born.

A few days later, your mother came to visit my house carrying you. That was the first time we met. No, we probably couldn’t even open our eyes at that time!

Oh, you are so good, I saw it at that time, right? You should also abide by the Basic Law when bragging, right? "

"Then I'll tell you the truth, believe it or not."

Hei Yang waved his hand and said, "There's nothing interesting about talking about those old stories.

Well, I've finished my drink, Miss Hong, come and get me a refill."

"Climb, do your own thing."

"Wow, now you know how to do your own thing, right?"

Heiyang raised his eyebrows: "As for your matter, I will..."

"No, no, I'm wrong, it's okay if I'm wrong."

Hong Li smiled awkwardly: "We are close friends, my business is your business, you will definitely help me!"

"That's true."

Heiyang nodded and handed over the empty cup in his hand: "Now, Heiyang, who has a close relationship with you, wants to refill his cup. It is normal to ask you to help, right?"

"No help."

"?"

A row of question marks appeared above Heiyang's head: "It seems that everything I said before was in vain, right?"

"It's not in vain. It has played a role to some extent."

Hong Li comforted him, "It's just that this is a matter of principle, so I can't help."

"It's a matter of principle."

Heiyang sighed and filled his own glass: "For someone like you, don't say that I led you astray. I don't deserve it."

"Is it not possible for red to come out of black and be better than black?"

"Don't change the original sentence. Can there be red in your black?"

"If I stab you, won't you bleed?"

"Oh, it's useless. My blood is green."

Hongli: “?”

"Miss, ma'am..."

A servant came running over on the ice. He was first startled by the position and distance between the two people in the pavilion, then pretended not to see it, bowed and said, "The progress of the matter you asked me to observe has made a new breakthrough."

"It turns out you didn't do nothing."

Heiyang raised an eyebrow: "You still sent someone to take care of this matter?"

"That's right, of course."

Hong Li smiled proudly: "After all, I'm not like someone who idles around all day and does nothing. I just cover myself with a quilt. Yes, yes, yes, I'm an ambitious young man with ideals. Hey, what are you doing!"

Hong Li shrank subconsciously, and suddenly felt her body lighten, and then a chill came over her. She widened her eyes and said, "Hei Yang, you are such a jerk, why are you pulling my blanket?"

"You said so."

Heiyang snorted coldly: "What's the point of covering yourself with a blanket when you are ambitious? Just roll up your sleeves and work hard. Don't learn from a lazy guy like me."

"Wrong, wrong."

Hong Li lowered her head and said in a cowardly tone: "I was wrong, isn't that okay? Give it back to me!"

"Is it really wrong?"

"real."

"What about principles?"

"I have no principles!"

"That's pretty much it."

Heiyang relaxed his frown and covered Hongli with the blanket again: "I just praised you and you don't know how much you are worth. You have to let me teach you a lesson."

"Ah……"

Hong Li clenched the edge of the blanket, then raised her head and chest and looked at Hei Yang again: "Yes, after all, some people get impatient when they are talking, and always use some despicable methods. Tsk, it's really embarrassing."

"You're so meow..."

"Ahem...that..."
