Chapter 21
[Hongli: Has Mr. Heiyang understood again? ]
[Heiyang: No! I didn't think of this just now. This question really stumped me! ]
[Hongli: ******]
[Heiyang: No plan is perfect, let's try it at least, what if it works? ]
[Hongli: If it doesn't work... I will be nothing, wuwuwu...]
[Heiyang: Anyway, it's not me who is nothing. ]
[Hongli:? ]
[Heiyang: Uh, I mean, believe me! ]
[Hongli: Okay...]
[Heiyang: Brother Bu Tian 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 memories: "I heard something about the immortal Lingji recruiting disciples on the way. I just smiled. After all, I could join a famous and upright sect, so how could I follow a casual cultivator of unknown origin?
All I thought about at the time was what kind of skills I would be taught after joining the Five Elements Sect in a few days, and whether I could successfully return to the innate state."
"Just then, an old man in a gray robe appeared and asked me sneakily 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 took a breath: "It's so scary?"
"That's right."
Hong Butian sighed: "He showed me a strange herb. I can't remember the specific shape and color, but I subconsciously think it's strange-I said gray before, it should be confused with the gray robe he wore.
Specifically, that kind of herb can greatly improve He showed me the chance of breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm 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, and my head felt a little swollen, and a voice came out of my mind: I must get it!
After that, I remember we found a remote place to discuss the transaction, and then..."
"Then what?"
"Then I seemed to become a herb!"
Hong Butian showed fear: "Breaking out of the dark underground, exposed to the wind and sun, lonely year after year, and sinking into the darkness all day long.
After that, I woke up after an unknown period of time, and then it was like this...
That's all I know, and there is nothing more to tell me if you ask me again!"
"The old man in gray robe..."
Hong Xiaochen and Hong Zhenjia looked at each other and nodded. Although they didn't seem to have learned any information, they seemed to have known a lot of clues.
"I'll have someone notify the third brother and the others later."
Hong Zhenjia said seriously: "Let's 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 kind of thing 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: "In this case, let's go and help investigate. One more person means more strength. Help Brother Bu Tian recover as soon as possible!"
"It's great that you can think like this!"
"That's right, let's work together with one heart and one shoulder to catch the mastermind behind the scenes!"
...
"Your enthusiasm only lasts three minutes?"
"I also want to ask you, who made the promise there righteously before?"
The pavilion in the center of the lake, the stove, the blanket, the hot milk, the salted fish and the lazy dog...
Chapter 25 Being lazy with a guilty mood
"What do you mean?"
Hongli took a cup of hot milk and drank it in small sips: "Didn't you say you were going to help investigate the case? Why are you being lazy here?"
"You still have the nerve to blame me?"
Heiyang said calmly: "It's your business, I just came to help, but you didn't work hard to investigate the case, and instead blamed me for being lazy?"
"But when I think about so many clues, it feels very troublesome."
Hongli pouted: "Then I was too lazy to investigate..."
"Coincidentally, I thought so too."
"Right, right."
"But you have to praise me for something."
Heiyang said seriously: "The blanket I brought this time is big enough, so you don't have to worry about not being able to cover your whole body and fighting over it!"
"Yes, yes, praise you."
Hongli waved her hand perfunctorily: "Your attentiveness is It would be nice if we could use it properly someday."
"What is a proper place?!"
Heiyang's eyes widened: "Isn't it a proper thing to get a better rest experience?"
"It makes sense, it is!"
"That's it."
"So..."
Hongli sighed: "Are we really going to do nothing and just slack off here?"
"Your situation is..."
Heiyang said casually: "Although I didn't touch a word of the summer homework, I still had fun with a guilty mood until the last day."
"What is summer homework?"
Hongli turned her head in confusion: "New word? Explain it?"
"You don't need to know this kind of thing, anyway, the meaning is not very good."
"No, I don't allow you to know the jokes that I don't know!"
"Ha, that's too much. We've been playing together since we were little, don't you know this?"
"That's right!"
Hongli nodded: "I was originally a very hardworking and cute little girl, pure as a blank sheet of paper, but you led me astray and made me the lazy dog I am today."
"Don't, I won't take the blame."
Heiyang curled his lips: "You were originally like this, what hardworking, cute, pure and blank, that's completely made up by you, you have never experienced this stage in your life.
I knew this from the first time I saw you."
"I heard from my mother."
Hongli's eyes were indifferent: "Three days after you were born, I was born.
A few days later, your mother came to visit me with you in her arms. That was the first time we met. No, we might have both opened our eyes at that time. You don't open your eyes!
Oh, you are so powerful, you saw it at that time, right? You have to follow the basic law when you brag, right? "
"Then I'll tell you the truth, believe it or not."
Heiyang waved his hand: "That kind of old story is not interesting to talk about.
Well, I'm done, Miss Hong, come and refill the cup."
"Come on, do your own things."
"Oh, now you know that you can do your own things, right?"
Heiyang raised his eyebrows: "Then about your matter, I will..."
"No, no, I was wrong, it's okay if I was wrong."
Hongli smiled awkwardly: "We are friends, and our relationship is close. My business is your business, you will definitely not 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 the cup, It's normal to ask you to help, right? "
"No."
"?"
A row of question marks appeared on Heiyang's head: "It seems that what I said before was in vain, right?"
"It's not in vain, it did have some effect."
Hongli comforted: "It's just a matter of principle, so I can't help."
"It's a matter of principle."
Heiyang sighed and filled himself with wine: "For someone like you, don't say that you were led astray by me, I don't deserve it."
"Isn't it okay for red to come from black and be better than black?"
"Don't change the original sentence, can red come out of your black?"
"If I stab you, won't you see blood?"
"Heh, it's useless, my blood is green."
Hongli: "?"
"Miss, Miss..."
A servant ran over on the ice, first being caught by the two people in the pavilion. ’s position and distance, and then pretended not to see it, bowed and said: “The progress of the matter you asked me to observe has made a new breakthrough.”
“So you didn’t do nothing.”
Heiyang raised his eyebrows: “You sent someone to care about this matter?”
“Of course.”
Hongli smiled proudly: “After all, I’m not like someone who is idle all day and does nothing. I just cover myself with a small quilt. Yes, yes, yes, I am an ambitious and ideal young man. Hey, what are you doing!”
Hongli’s body shrank subconsciously, and suddenly she felt lighter, and then a chill came over her. She widened her eyes: “Heiyang, are you cheap? Why are you pulling my blanket!”
“You said it.”
Heiyang snorted coldly: “What kind of blanket should an ambitious young man cover himself with? Roll up and work hard. Don’t learn from me, a lazy thing.”
“Wrong, wrong.”
Hongli lowered her head and immediately said: “I’m wrong, isn’t it okay? Give it back to me!”
“Really wrong?”
“Really.” "
"What about principles?"
"I have no principles!"
"That's more like it."
Heiyang relaxed his frown and covered Hongli with the blanket again: "You don't know how much you weigh after I praised you. You have to let me teach you a lesson."
"Heh..."
Hongli held the edge of the blanket tightly, then raised her head and chest and looked at Heiyang again: "Yes, after all, some people get anxious when they talk, and always use some mean methods. Tsk, it's really embarrassing."
"You are..."
"Ahem...that..."
