Hearing her talk about friends, Yuhua's mind immediately pictured the appearance of the girl she saw that day, "Yes, but only half an hour."

"I think that's enough." Lanzhi sighed, "Then you come with me."

She did not leave the city lord's palace with Yuhua, but took her to a remote courtyard. As she walked, she said: "Perhaps you have met him. He sneaked in during the turmoil last night.

It hasn't been discovered yet. But I heard that your previous meeting was not a pleasant one."

"So, my first meeting with many people was not a pleasant one. Isn't it the same with you?" Yuhua sighed. Thinking about it carefully, her first meeting with Ye Su was not a pleasant one either. Only with Mu.

The mountain scenery is different.

Lanzhi chuckled lowly and added: "Different positions will always lead to some necessary confrontations. Apart from this, I think you have not forgotten what I told you before about the famine fifteen years ago.

"

"Remember, this matter is also related to your friend?" Yu Hua asked, gradually having a guess in her mind. If Cang Mingguan and the two people came to see her at this time, could they be asking for help or something?

"Well, fifteen years ago, when I was just twelve years old, I was sold to Xie's family. I met the two of them on the way to escape. His family used to be rich farmers, but during the famine, their family was

The Chamber of Commerce took notice and used extremely despicable means to take possession of their family's food and killed all his relatives. When I met them, I saw that they were about to starve to death, so I gave them some dry food.

They, in the five years since then,

We all live together and are dependent on each other."

"Then why did they separate again later?"

"The enemy is chasing me." Lanzhi spat out these words calmly.

"Enemy?" Yuhua looked at her curiously. She remembered that Lanzhi just ran away from the Xie family, but the Xie family probably wouldn't make great efforts to hunt down a runaway maid.

That being said, she had a vague guess in her mind.

"In those years, there were refugees everywhere. In the face of natural disasters, people's way of survival was a long road paved with blood. This instinct of survival made us make many wrong choices and made our hands wet.

It's full of blood, so it's normal to have enemies." Lan Zhifeng said calmly, with complicated expressions in his eyes, "Although I think it was a wrong thing, I still haven't regretted it at that time.

It’s a choice, just don’t do it if you can’t do it now.”

"It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with just following the instinct of survival." Yuhua said thoughtfully. Perhaps if she was the one facing such a desperate situation, she couldn't guarantee that every choice she made would be correct.

"That's not entirely true," Lanzhi chuckled and looked up at the birds in the sky.

"I once read a strange story from a wild history, and I still remember a passage in it that said that in ancient times, the gods, humans, demons, and countless other creatures lived together. The gods ruled the world. Under their protection, all living things could survive.

A peaceful and peaceful life, but among all things, the gods prefer the human race. This preference is because the gods believe that under some circumstances, people will fight against their own survival instincts for something that is invisible and intangible."

Lanzhi shrugged slightly as he spoke, and smiled as if it didn't matter, "But we have indeed seen fools who helped others even though they couldn't protect their own things, and finally died under the knives of robbers. But no matter what,

, things we have done cannot be changed, and if we follow what the book says, maybe we will never be the kind of people favored by gods."

Yu Hua followed her thoughtfully, thinking about what she said. She always felt something familiar, but she didn't know where this familiarity came from.

"arrive."

Unknowingly, Lanzhi had brought her to a small courtyard. It was a very inconspicuous courtyard. It should be a place for doing chores. There were eight or nine such courtyards in the City Lord's Mansion. It was indeed a hidden place.

Lanzhi opened the door and said, "There is no one else inside, only him. I will be outside. If someone comes, I will remind you."

Yuhua nodded and walked in.

After entering through the front door, the door to the room directly opposite opened. Soon a man walked out of the house. He nodded slightly to Yu Hua and said, "Miss Yu, please come in."

"It's you." Yu Hua recognized Thirty-Seven at a glance, "I thought it was that girl."

"That's my sister, causing you trouble."

When Yuhua walked into the house, she could see that it was supposed to be a place for chopping wood and boiling water, but now it was neatly taken care of, as if it was specially made to welcome her.

"No trouble." Yu Hua smiled and walked into the house. The house was not big and she could keep up with Thirty-Seven in two steps. But as soon as she got close to him, she vaguely felt a familiar power.

That night in the flower house, when I received the three-wood spirit seed, the power remaining in the seed

Was it given by him? But they Cangmingguan probably didn't have such good intentions, and she didn't believe that they would meet here because of a 'coincidence'. They should have other tasks when they came here.

Yuhua raised her eyelids briefly and glanced at Thirty-Seven. She suppressed the doubts in her heart and said straight to the point: "If you have something to do, please just tell me. I think you took the risk and asked me to come here, not just to chat.

.”

"Miss Yu is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush." ​​Thirty-seven took a deep breath and sat upright. He knew that he had never been good at communicating with others. He clenched his hands under the table unconsciously and gritted his teeth.

He said, "I hope the girl can take care of my sister in the future."

"ah?"

The incomprehensible words immediately made Yuhua confused, and then she became a little angry. She frowned slightly, stared at him and chuckled, "You and I don't seem to have any friendship, and we don't get along very happily."

"Girl, please don't worry, please listen to what I have to say." There was a trace of panic on Thirty-Seven's face, but he quickly calmed down again, and he let out a long sigh, "I know that making this request is a bit abrupt and rude.

But I definitely didn’t ask the girl to do this for nothing.”

"Hey, stop it." Yuhua calmed down a little and found something wrong with his words. She frowned slightly and looked at Thirty-Seven, "Before you convince me, I also have a question. Why don't you do it yourself?

Take care of her?"

Thirty-seven smiled bitterly and rolled up his sleeves without saying a word.

Yu Hua's eyes dropped, and her eyes widened when she saw the thing in his hand, and then she frowned even more tightly.

On his powerful arm, a very obvious black aura spread up his arm.

This is! Demonic energy?!
