Xie Wanyou has been squatting under Rong Zhiwei's bed for an hour or two.

She guessed that the Immortal Alliance might also attack Rong Zhiwei and Yan Mingshu, but she couldn't let go, so she postponed her travel plan and temporarily entrusted Xiaobai to Luo Ruxi's care while the guards at Yuhua Palace were changing shifts.

, and quietly slipped into the Yuhua Palace and hid under Rong Zhiwei’s bed.

It would be best if no one was harmful to Rong Zhiwei and Yan Mingshu - if someone really wanted to attack them, she could nip it in the bud by staying here.

However, the worst situation still happened. Not long after nightfall, Xie Wanyou saw a suspicious person entering the Yuhua Palace.

Xie Wanyou was lurking under Rong Zhiwei's bed. As the man approached, his heartbeat gradually accelerated, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on the palm of his hand holding the sword. He was both excited and nervous.

Footsteps approached, and a soft and smooth voice came from above her head: "Are you awake?"

Xie Wanyou was stunned. Rong Zhiwei and Yan Mingshu won't wake up until at least tomorrow. How could they wake up at this time?

Who is the person who woke up?

Before Xie Wanyou could think more, she heard the man's next words: "You are really lucky, you can't die like this."

At this moment, Xie Wanyou confirmed the identity of this person.

He is the assassin who came to deal with Yan Mingshu and Rong Zhiwei!

Xie Wanyou immediately tensed up his shoulders and got ready to go.

After the man approached, Xie Wanyou heard him say fiercely: "Who told you to block our way - die!"

The moment the man swung his sword, Xie Wanyou drew his sword at the same time, and the sharp sword energy directly knocked him away.

With a "bang", the man fell to the ground, and the knife in his hand flew far away. When it fell to the ground, it made a crisp clanging sound.

This assassin...why is he so weak?

Xie Wanyou originally thought that the person coming would be someone with a higher cultivation level than the Golden Core Stage, and was even prepared for a fight. However, he did not expect that the other party would be so vulnerable, which made Xie Wanyou suspicious.

Xie Wanyou quickly got out from under the bed, because Rong Zhiwei and Yan Mingshu were awake behind her, and she was afraid that her/his identity would be revealed as soon as she turned around, so she didn't dare to look back at all.

Just as that person was about to flee, Xie Wanyou took advantage of the situation to pursue him and successfully ran out of her/his sight.

What a risk!

It's so dark, you wouldn't be able to recognize her just by looking at her back...

Xie Wanyou was still frightened, but with the foreign enemy facing her, she could only suppress those chaotic thoughts for the time being and concentrate on chasing the assassin.

The assassin was injured and stumbled out clutching his chest. As soon as he ran out of the door, he couldn't stand at all. He threw himself on the ground in a panic and shouted to the guards outside: "Help, help - someone is going to kill him."

I!"

What kind of operation is this to catch a thief?

Xie Wanyou didn't expect this to happen at all. He paused and frowned slightly.

The guards guarding outside Yuhua Hall heard the movement and immediately gathered around.

At this moment, Xie Wanyou suddenly thought of a question - since the guards were still there, why could this assassin swagger in from the main entrance of Yuhua Palace?

As the guard approached, the light of the lantern illuminated the assassin, and Xie Wanyou could see his appearance clearly.

This man's face was full of panic, he still had sword wounds on his body, his clothes were stained with bright red blood, and his hair became very messy as he ran away. He didn't look like a perpetrator, but more like a victim.

What's more important is——

Xie Wanyou's face became even more ugly. The clothes this man was wearing turned out to be Bixiao Alchemy Sect's disciple uniforms!

He is a disciple of Bixiao Dan Sect?!

In the flash of lightning, Xie Wanyou suddenly understood something.

The master has sealed the mountain, and people from the Immortal Alliance cannot enter the Bixiao Alchemy Sect. If they want to take action against Rong Zhiwei and Yan Mingshu, they can naturally only find the disciples in the Bixiao Alchemy Sect.

Xie Wanyou frowned and looked at this Bixiao disciple, with thoughts in his mind.

As a disciple of Bixiao, why would he do such a thing?

Was it bribed by the Immortal Alliance?

Or is he actually a spy that the Immortal Alliance inserted into the Bixiao Alchemy Sect earlier?

Guards of Bixiao Danzong

When they rushed over, this was what they saw——

Xie Wanyou stood at the door with his sword in hand, looking down at the man who fell on the ground coldly. There was an obvious sword wound on the man's chest. He covered it with one hand and looked at Xie Wanyou with a fearful expression. He wanted to run but didn't dare.

run.

"What's going on?" The captain of the escort team was not sure what was going on. His eyes wandered between the two people for a moment, and he found that they were both Bixiao disciples. He couldn't help but asked in confusion.

Xie Wanyou stared at the man on the ground: "This man entered the Yuhua Palace late at night with the intention of attacking Xuancang disciples. I found him and beat him out."

"Seriously!" The captain was startled. He looked at the Bixiao disciple on the ground and his voice became colder: "What's your name? Are you really a Bixiao disciple? What's your intention in attacking Xuancang disciple in the middle of the night!"

"What are you attacking disciple Xuancang? I didn't do it!" The man hurriedly shouted injustice and took out a jade token: "My name is Zuo Hongmao. I am really a disciple of Bixiao. This is my disciple's jade token. I entered Yuhua.

The palace is just to change disciple Xuancang’s medicine. This is what Elder Mo ordered - if you don’t believe me, ask Elder Mo!”

The captain took the jade token and looked at it, confirming that it was correct, then turned to look at Xie Wanyou: "Are you the sect master's young apprentice? Can you describe the situation in detail?"

Xie Wanyou briefly described the situation just now, including what Zuo Hongmao said and the way he committed the crime.

The captain sent someone in and found a sharp knife. He immediately turned cold and said coldly to Zuo Hongmao: "What else do you have to say!"

Zuo Hongmao looked at the knife with a blank look on his face and denied it in disbelief: "I never said those words, nor did I have any intention to attack disciple Xuancang! Little junior sister, I have no grievances with you, why do you

You want to slander me like this!"

Xie Wanyou asked back: "Then what did you do after you just entered?"

"I told you, I want to change disciple Xuancang's medicine!" Zuo Hongmao seemed to be about to collapse. He took out the medicine and gauze from the Qiankun bag in a panic: "After I entered the door, the candlelight in the hall didn't know why.

When it went out, I wanted to go over and light the candle again. Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the bed, little junior sister, you gave me a sword..."

He seemed to suddenly realize something, pointed at Xie Wanyou, and said in silence: "You said that I wanted to do harm to disciple Xuancang, but when did you enter the Yuhua Palace? I think you wanted to do harm to disciple Xuancang, but in the end

You were interrupted by me unintentionally, so you just kept doing it and you framed it for me on purpose!"

Being bitten back by the other party, Xie Wanyou didn't panic and raised his eyebrows: "Who is slandering whom? Let's say more while you can still quibble."

Zuo Hongmao looked at her like this, and a look of anger suddenly appeared on his face. He turned around and said to the captain: "I really didn't do such a thing. I have no grievances with the Xuancang disciples, so why should I attack them?

And if I really take action, won’t I be discovered immediately? What am I trying to do!”

Xie Wanyou and Zuo Hongmao each held their own opinions, and the captain didn't know what to do, so he had to ask someone to inform the elders.

Xie Wanyou and Zuo Hongmao both stayed where they were, waiting for the elders to arrive at the scene and make a decision.

Xie Wanyou held the sword in his arms and suddenly felt an itch on his ankle.

She looked down and found that the white fox had appeared at her feet at some point.

As if he noticed her gaze, Feng Ranzhou raised his head, looked at her, and silently whispered to her: "You can't win."

This vixen was not helping me just now, but now she is making sarcastic remarks.

Xie Wanyou also sent a message into the secret: "Why did fellow Taoist Feng say this?"

"You have no evidence." Feng Ranzhou shook his tail lazily: "Except for me and you, Zuo Hongmao, and one of the two Xuancang disciples, no one else knew about this. I can

I will testify for you, but I usually have close contact with you and what I say is not of reference."

"As for the Xuancang disciple who woke up——"

Feng Ranzhi's tone was unpredictable: "You'd better pray that she/he is still awake and can testify for you."

If she/he has fallen into a coma again, who can prove that she/he woke up just now? After all, the elders said that they will not wake up until at least tomorrow.

Even if they testified for Xie Wanyou after they woke up, Zuo Hongmao could still say that they were resentful because the hall was so dark at that time.

It is possible to be haunted, confused, have hallucinations, or see things wrongly.

If his speaking skills were more refined, he might be able to use this to pour some dirty water on Xie Wanyou.

After all, Xie Wanyou was squatting in the Yuhua Palace, and his behavior was very suspicious.

It's hard to say who exactly the knife belonged to.

After hearing this, Xie Wanyou's lips curved slightly: "Let's take a bet? What's the reward if I win?"

Feng Ranzhou didn't think she could win, but he didn't know why she was so confident.

Glancing at her warily, Feng Ranzhou asked, "What reward do you want?"

"If I win -" Xie Wanyou looked at the hurried elders in the distance and narrowed his eyes: "How about you touch the fox fur for me?"

To Xie Wanyou's surprise, Feng Ranzhou agreed quickly: "Yes, but if I win -"

Feng Ranzhou said meaningfully: "Let's meet at the back mountain waterfall."

Xie Wanyou: "..."

He is actually still thinking about recovering his memory...

Ever since he realized that he might be the Demon Lord, Xie Wanyou put off going to the back mountain as much as he could. The problem was that his soul ached and it would take him ten days and a half to recover.

Feng Ranzhou now had to rely on her to administer acupuncture to detoxify, and he couldn't drag her to the back of the mountain. She actually let her rely on various tricks to slow down the progress of recovering her memory.

However, according to Xie Wanyou's judgment, Feng Ranzhou's memory has been restored to a large extent. I am afraid that if he touches the mark a few more times, he will be able to recover all his memories...

Therefore, Xie Wanyou rarely agrees to go to the back mountain with him recently, for fear that the next time he touches the mark, the vixen will completely regain his memory.

But this time, it doesn't hurt to take a gamble with him.

Xie Wanyou said: "Deal."

By this time, the elders had already arrived at the scene.
