Since the attack on Jiang Shang, Zhong Linqi seemed to have become much more cautious. This was the first time that Yu Qi saw him look like he was facing a formidable enemy, and Bai Lixuan also felt a little strange about this.

Zhong Linqi did not explain to the two young men. In fact, he had a vague feeling that his group was being secretly followed and monitored. For this reason, he deliberately found several opportunities to rest along the way and retraced his steps to try to find out the other party, but

Every time, they didn't dare to stray too far from Yu Shiqi and Baili Xuan, so they gained nothing.

However, he still believed in his own feelings. This was the consistent style of assassins. Even if he did not find any obvious traces left by the other party, he would not relax his vigilance.

After leaving the forest and changing to a carriage, the group finally arrived at Jincheng, the capital of Suzhou, three days later.

After entering the city, Yu Shiqi found that Zhong Linqi was a little out of character.

"You go find Yunzhongjian, and I'll go find my Wangchuan. Let's split up." After entering the city, Zhong Linqi proposed that both parties go find helpers separately.

At first, Yu Shiqi thought that he had seen through her little thought of not wanting to reveal the secret of Yun Zhongjian's contact, and she felt a little guilty and blushed. However, after she and Zhong Linqi parted ways, she realized that something was wrong.

What was wrong was that Zhong Linqi actually asked Baili Xuan to follow him. Yu Shiqi thought that if the opponent attacked again, it would be safer for Baili Xuan to follow Zhong Linqi, and if Baili Xuan followed Zhong Linqi, it would be safer

, you don’t actually have to worry about your own safety at all.

It was already obvious during the battle on the river that day that the opponent's target was Baili Xuan. Yu Shiqi clearly remembered that after the red-haired witch succeeded in sneaking up on Baili Xuan, Elder Huo, who had already gained the upper hand, directly attacked Baili Xuan without saying a word.

Leaving themselves behind to retreat shows that they have no interest in them.

"What the hell is Zhong Linqi doing?" Yu Shiqi was puzzled.

Recently, the two of them have become familiar with each other, and he no longer refers to him as "Mr. Zhong", but because he still resists calling him dad directly, he still calls him by his first name for the time being.

It stands to reason that this is not in line with Chen Lin's ancient filial piety, but Zhong Linqi seems to have no objection to this. The two of them call each other by their first names when chatting, and only use formal titles when talking about serious matters.

"What's wrong with Master Zhong?" Bai Lixuan felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and Yu Qi seemed to have something on his mind.

"It's nothing..." Yu Shiqi was afraid that she would worry, so he planned to just ignore it.

But Bai Lixuan didn't think so. She held Yu Shiqi's hand seriously: "Hey, I'm protected by you now. Can you let me know your plans at least? That way, if anything happens, I can still

I will act according to the situation and cooperate with you."

Her request was reasonable and reasonable, and Yu Shiqi could not refuse, so he had to explain it to her in detail as they walked.

"Do you want to investigate the origins of those people first?"

"Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy is better than fighting an inexplicable opponent every time."

"Yeah, well... I don't know how your sisters are doing now. It's all because of me..."

"They are the rangers of the Cloud Sword. They should be able to handle their situation properly." Yu Shiqi led her walking on the street while looking left and right, looking for the organization's mark.

Of course, the mark is not openly visible on the street. According to his experience, it is usually carefully disguised, and even trained insiders have to observe it on their own to spot it.

Bai Lixuan saw him looking around and thought he was interested in the products on the street. The two of them happened to be walking on a street in the center of the market.

"Is there anything you want?"

"Yes." Yu Shiqi was focused on looking for the mark, and his mind was not on talking to her at all, so he answered casually.

"What do you want to buy?" Bai Lixuan put her hand into the inner pocket of her coat and fumbled around.

Yu Shiqi stopped and looked at her strangely: "Did you bring the money out? Wasn't it an unplanned and unprepared escape?"

"I don't know why there is money in the pocket of this coat. I just discovered it not long ago." Bai Lixuan shrugged innocently, "I probably forgot to take it out when I went out to play before. This kind of coat is also

I don’t wear it once or twice before letting my servants wash it, so..."

She took out her hand and showed it to Yu Shiqi, holding a stack of silver certificates in her hand.

Yu Shiqi's eyes widened. He had never seen so much money in his life...

"There are some Xihuangtong coins, but they shouldn't be used here..." She said and took out some more coins. When she spread her hands again, there were more than a dozen gold lacquer coins, with moon patterns and cloud patterns accounting for almost half each.

.

This guy is really rich... No, it should be said that the Bailihou Mansion is really rich! Yu Shiqi only had this thought in his mind at this moment.

He a little doubted whether Zhong Linqi also gave Baili Cheng a big blow. After all, he didn't hesitate to take action when he encountered any place where money was needed along the way. It can be said that money was spent like water. There was only a horse-drawn carriage on the way to Jincheng.

They replaced it three times, and each time they threw it away after use...

"What's wrong?" Seeing that he was in a daze, Bai Lixuan stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, then said with a smile: "If you like anything, tell your sister, you're welcome, and I'll repay you the favor along the way."

"I don't have anything I want to buy." Yu Shiqi was not too complacent yet. He thought that although the Golden City looked prosperous and bustling, who knew if there were enemies hidden among the traffickers or tourists who were watching them?

What about delay?

Bai Lixuan looked at his face seriously, suspecting that he was being polite to her because he couldn't let go of his dignity, and then a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Yu Shiqi was so stunned by her stare that she quickly turned around and continued walking forward.

"I said, do you usually have a hard time?" Bai Lixuan asked with a smile from behind.

"My master said that extravagant enjoyment will wear away one's will, and practitioners should get used to simple conditions..."

"If you can't eat the grapes, you say the grapes are sour." Bai Lixuan interrupted his long speech.

"Don't talk about my master like that." Yu Shiqi frowned. Yu Lingwei was the person he respected the most in his life, and his status in his heart was even higher than that of several sect leaders of the Desolate Sect.

"Then why did you look like you were enjoying yourself in the bathtub at my house that day?"

Yu Shiqi was left speechless by her question, and he lightly rubbed his cheek with his fingers shyly.

"Is it true?" Seeing his appearance, Bai Lixuan smiled proudly.

Yu Shiqi then knew that he had been deceived by her again. Thinking carefully about it, the water mist in the bathhouse that day was so heavy that he didn't realize that there was another person there. How could Bai Lixuan see his expression? Cunning,

How cunning.

At this time, he suddenly noticed that the wine flag hanging in front of the door of an inn on the left was a bit strange. Other hotels only hung one flag, but this one hung one on each side, and the positions were quite symmetrical.

Yu Shiqi took a closer look and saw that the flag with the word "wine" on the left was lined with auspicious cloud patterns, and the strokes of the word "wine" on the flag on the right could be vaguely seen as a sword shape.

This was the right place to stay. He was overjoyed and turned around to greet Baili Xuan: "Hu Yan..."
