The appearance of Yu Shiqi surprised the two people in the courtyard for a moment. A look of embarrassment appeared on the faces of Zhong Lingqi and Teng Yining almost at the same time.

"Zhi'er..." Teng Yining spoke first, "Don't take what we just said to heart."

"I didn't take it seriously." He smiled lightly, turned to Zhong Lingqi and said, "It's rare to get together today. Maybe it's God's will. Shouldn't Mr. Zhong treat us?"

Zhong Lingqi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood when Yu Shiqi winked at him, and quickly agreed: "Please, please, that..."

"I saw a nice restaurant on the way here." Yu Shiqi took over the conversation and took Teng Yining's hand at the same time: "Come on, I will take you there."

"Hey, I..." Teng Yining was just about to find an excuse to evade, when she suddenly felt Yu Shiqi holding her hand tightly. She sighed secretly in her heart and smiled bitterly as if she was resigned to her fate.

Zhong Lingqi followed him out and couldn't help but ask Yu Shiqi on the way: "Where is Miss Baili? Why did you come here alone?"

"She is staying with Yunzhongjian, and we need to learn some information from her there."

"Who is Miss Baili?" Teng Yining remembered that he had never heard this name before.

Yu Shiqi smiled slightly: "It's a long story, mother. I'll tell you slowly later."

A group of three people came to the door of the restaurant, but Zhong Lingqi suddenly stopped. Something suddenly came to his mind, and his face suddenly darkened.

Seeing that he stood still, Yu Shiqi looked at him strangely: "What's wrong?"

"Oh no, I forgot something important." Zhong Lingqi frowned in annoyance, "I captured a guy who was following you and Miss Baili before, and threw him in the stronghold of Jincheng Fendu. I originally planned to interrogate him properly.

, but I was so sad and happy all of a sudden that I forgot about that guy...Anyway, I'm going to go back and take a look, you guys can order first and I'll be back later."

Looking at Zhong Ling's figure rushing away in a hurry, although Teng Yining didn't understand what they were talking about, he had a vague feeling that they seemed to be in some kind of trouble.

"Zhi'er, who is following you?" Teng Yining couldn't wait to ask Yu Shiqi after sitting down in an elegant small room on the second floor of the restaurant.

Yu Shiqi thought about it and decided to start with his return to Jingrong with Zhong Lingqi.

Teng Yining listened to him telling about the twists and turns on the road, his brows sometimes wrinkled and sometimes relaxed, and finally sighed: "I didn't expect so many things to happen after I left. You, you obviously wanted to stay away from the turmoil of the world, but in the end you were on your own

You're in such deep trouble. If I hadn't met Zhong Lingqi, I might not have had the chance to see you again."

Yu Shiqi heard the reproach in her words and was speechless, so he could only smile.

"Don't worry about the rest of the matter, leave it to us." Teng Yining held his hand, "Yunzhongjian will protect Miss Baili."

"Then I..."

"Didn't Zhong Lingqi want to take you to Wuyue? Go with him." Teng Yining smiled and took the initiative to introduce a relaxed topic.

"Eh?" Yu Shiqi was very surprised, wondering what she meant, and carefully observed her expression.

Teng Yining didn't notice, but just as the waiter brought two plates of food first, she picked up her chopsticks and gave Yu Shiqi some sweet and sour pork ribs: "Don't wait for him, let's eat first."

Yu Shiqi asked in a low voice: "Mom, don't you hate Wu Yue's guy?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"She is...Mr. Zhong's nominal wife."

"What is a wife in name only? They are husband and wife." Teng Yining smiled faintly, "When you go and see her, don't feel uncomfortable, just call her Aunt Meng."

Yu Shiqi stood there with his mouth open in a bit of disbelief. He vaguely felt that he had made something wrong.

When all the dishes were served, Zhong Lingqi had not returned yet. Yu Shiqi looked at the table full of delicacies but could not bring up his appetite at all. On the one hand, he was annoyed that the situation between Zhong Lingqi and Teng Yining that he had finally brought about was wasted.

I was also a little worried that I would never return to the final mausoleum.

Teng Yining guessed what he was thinking and suggested: "I'm not very hungry anyway, let's go back to Wangchuan to have a look?"

Yu Shiqi readily agreed and was about to stand up and leave the table when Zhong Lingqi suddenly came back at the last moment.

He smiled apologetically: "I've been waiting for a long time."

"I've been gone for so long, is there anything unexpected?" Teng Yining asked.

"No, no, it's just a trivial matter. Let's not talk about it for now. Come and have a meal." Zhong Lingqi tried to put this topic away.

Until he sat down on the chair, Teng Yining kept his hands folded on the table in front of him and stared at him sideways.

Zhong Lingqi's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and he forced a smile: "What's wrong? Even if I miss seeing you again after a long separation, you don't have to stare at me like this, right?"

Teng Yining curled his lips and said: "Over the years, your martial arts has gotten better and better, but your lying skills have not improved at all."

Zhong Lingqi sighed helplessly, quickly cheered up, and gave her a hearty smile: "I'm not very good at deceiving the people I care about."

Teng Yining took a sip of tea and shook his head disapprovingly.

Yu Shiqi listened to the two of them talking. Although the content sounded a bit superficial and cunning, for some reason he felt from the bottom of his heart that the two of them were in harmony.

"How about we go outside and talk." Zhong Lingqi finally relented.

Teng Yining did not object. He stood up, picked up the robe he had put aside and put it on his body. He held down Yu Shiqi who was standing next to him and said, "Eat well."

"Is there something you can't let me know..."

"My lord's affairs, things about the rivers and lakes, and things related to swords." Zhong Lingqi said seriously, "The rivers and lakes are deep, so don't step in by yourself."

Teng Yining lightly tapped Yu Shiqi's forehead with his finger: "We are all here, you don't need to worry about these things."

"I'm afraid you might start arguing again." Yu Shiqi lowered his head, "Just like before."

"The quarrel is not as serious as you think." Zhong Lingqi winked at Teng Yining, "The fact that we can quarrel means that we have not given up communicating with each other. If one day we no longer quarrel and choose to speak with the sword in our hands, then that will be the end of the world.

This is the time when you should be anxious."

"I think as long as Mr. Zhong, the master of Forgotten River Ferry, still has a little bit of conscience, we won't go to that point." Teng Yining patted Yu Shiqi on the back, "Eat in peace, don't waste a table of good food.

."

After the two people went out and closed the door, Yu Shiqi smiled bitterly at the table of dishes.

But he is really not that worried now. It can be seen that Zhong Lingqi has always been accommodating and compromising with Teng Yining in his words and deeds. Although he doesn't know the reason, he always feels that there is still an emotional bond between them.

of.

Resisting the urge to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two men, he tried to taste the various dishes on the table one by one. After calming down, his sense of taste seemed to have become more developed. The chef of this restaurant was really good at cooking.

It was lunch time now. I wonder if Hu Yan was treated well when he stayed at Yunzhongjian's stronghold? Yu Shiqi couldn't help but think of Baili Xuan in his mind.

He didn't know that at this moment, the Yunzhongjian stronghold, four streets away from this restaurant, was being stared at from all sides by countless pairs of malicious eyes.

Under the swaying wine banners on both sides of the gate, Bai Lixuan crossed her arms and looked blankly. Although the people from Yunzhongjian ordered her to stay inside, she still walked out on her own.

Before Yu Shiqi left, he only told her that he was looking for Mr. Zhong. She also thought that she would see them back together soon, but she did not expect that Yu Shiqi would be gone for so long.

Not seeing Yu Shiqi, Bai Lixuan felt inexplicably uneasy. She stood at the door and looked left and right at the street, eagerly waiting.

Suddenly, her body shook slightly, and her blank eyes gradually became clear and sharp.

At first she was just suspicious, but after pretending to be casual and looking around again, Bai Lixuan began to feel nervous.

It was unmistakable. I don’t know since when, the number of “familiar faces” around this street gradually increased. She has a good memory, and sometimes she can vaguely remember the faces of pedestrians even if she didn’t look carefully.

A shadow, and once you pay close attention, you can quickly find something strange - there are about ten people who seem to have been wandering around this street, and they appear repeatedly at both ends of the street.

Pretending to be calm, she naturally turned around and returned to the house, and quickly walked to the back hall, preparing to inform the Yunzhong Swordsmen of her findings.
