117 in the middle
Xie Pingwu frowned, and she immediately reached out to touch Chi Qi's forehead. Sure enough, it was still a little hotter.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Chi Qi's old injury had not yet healed, so her first reaction was whether he had been injured just now.
But before she could check it carefully, Chi Qi reached out and clasped Xie Pingwu's wrist. The young man's fingertips were hot and slid along the texture of Xie Pingwu's wrist bones, causing a bit of shuddering discomfort.
Xie Pingwu was slightly surprised, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Chi Qi immediately retracted his hand, lowered his eyes and said softly: "It's... acacia."
Xie Pingwu was startled and subconsciously wanted to check again, but the other party raised his hand and pulled the cuffs down a few inches. He looked up at her and said, "Go back to Tanluan Building and wait for me."
Before she could answer, Chi Qi lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
By the time Xie Pingwu came to his senses, there was no sign of Chi Qi outside.
She was a little helpless and murmured, "Villains probably don't have harems."
Minglian, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly agreed, "Harem? A place where mortal emperors keep dozens of concubines?" Then he asked and answered himself, "This kind of thing is not surprising even for a monk, but who is the villain?
?”
Xie Pingwu: "...No, I personally keep an eye on the villain Zaizai who refuses to turn into a black man. Will he turn into a scumbag who doesn't respect women?"
Although in ancient times, this was not considered a scumbag.
Although he really wanted to keep an eye on Chi Qi to prevent him from turning into a scumbag due to his hunger for food, Xie Pingwu still didn't dare to move for fear of encountering an embarrassing scene, and waited honestly until he arrived at Tanluan Tower.
Du Qiusheng and Song Wanzhao went to inquire about the news, and by the way, they took Yuzhu to lead the way.
Xie Langzhong and Xie Pingwu were sitting together, the atmosphere was slightly boring.
"Junior Sister Xie's aura is somewhat familiar to me. I wonder if Junior Sister Xie's ancestors have any connection with the Xie family in Dongling?"
Very similar to him.
Moreover, Xie Pingwu's surname is also Xie, and even his appearance is similar to him.
Especially a pair of eyebrows, contours and temperament are very similar, giving people the same feeling of coolness and warmth, like gods and Buddhas.
Xie Pingwu shook his head and said with a half-smile, "Senior brother doesn't even know what relationship he has with me, so how do I know about it?"
He was older than her, and his status was more distinguished. How could she know about the network of connections that he didn't even know about? When Xie Langzhong thought about it, he also felt that Xie Pingwu was right.
"When I saw Junior Sister Xie, I felt very familiar."
Not only are they familiar, but they even give rise to a sense of vigilance that they are the same kind of people.
She was so outstanding that even though he had been the proud son of heaven for so many years, he felt that his light was always obscured in front of Xie Pingwu, which made him feel terrified and uncomfortable.
"Many senior brothers inside and outside the sect say so." Xie Pingwu laughed.
Her smile was so bright and gentle that Xie Langzhong felt a little embarrassed.
Xie Langzhong was silent for a moment, then he came to his senses and said in embarrassment: "...I didn't mean that."
Xie Pingwu just showed an innocent smile.
There was a gust of wind blowing outside the window. I don't know why, but it seemed a bit colder inside the house.
The spring warmth around Xie Pingwu's waist hummed slightly, making her immediately alert, "Senior brother, have you noticed anything unusual?"
Xie Langzhong shook his head, and after hearing Xie Pingwu's words, he immediately tightened his grip on the sword hilt.
A black shadow suddenly flashed in from the window, and in the blink of an eye, Xie Pingwu came. The strong wind blew through the curtain, and Xie Pingwu took out the sheath of Chunwen and cut off the black shadow with a single sword.
But the black shadow seemed not to be affected at all, and it immediately entangled Xie Pingwu.
Before Xie Pingwu could react, all his spiritual energy seemed to be swallowed up in an instant. He lost all strength and was pulled away.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xie Langzhong unsheathing his sword, but the high-grade spiritual sword in his hand was broken, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Then, Xie Pingwu also fainted.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw a gray area in front of her. She didn't know where she was lying, but there was a smell in the air, like rotten flesh mixed with feces and urine.
Overall, the stench made her body buzz.
Xie Pingwu's first reaction was to cover his nose with his hands. As a result, his hands reached his face, so he covered his mouth first and retched.
Someone behind her reached out and patted her back. Xie Pingwu shivered, and a familiar voice came to her ears, "It's me."
Xie Pingwu was stunned. He heard Chi Qi's voice and subconsciously turned his face to look at him.
The light here was too dim, and Xie Pingwu could only see a vague outline. His whole body was wet, his face was horribly pale, and even his breathing was a little unsteady. Fortunately, his original hot body temperature had dropped.
"Where is this?"
Chi Qi coughed slightly, "Inside the slave farm."
Xie Pingwu had already glanced around a few times. This was a room full of people, but for some reason, the others were crowded together, creating a gap between the corner where she and Chi Qi were.
When they saw her waking up, everyone looked directly at her.
This was the first time she had seen such unabashedly ferocious and malicious eyes.
Chi Qi glanced at these people. The others seemed to be afraid of Chi Qi. After catching his gaze, they immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Chi Qi again.
Xie Pingwu reached out and pinched Chi Qi's wrist and explored his body.
I don't know why, but his internal injuries were more serious than before he went out.
She subconsciously wanted to ask what method he used to relieve the effect of the medicine so quickly, but when the words came to his lips, Xie Pingwu swallowed them by mistake and said in another sentence: "What's going on?"
Chi Qi's voice was a little cold, "The people behind you can't sit still."
Most of their group are at the Golden Core stage and have little practical experience, and they have not even learned much about the ways of the world. Apart from having good cultivation talents and being a little smart, they are nothing in the world of immortal cultivation where powerful people are everywhere.
Ordinarily, the mastermind behind this would not take these young men too seriously.
“Do you want to kill us directly?”
Chi Qi hummed and coughed, "I'm either afraid of the sect, or I'm afraid of your sword."
Xie Pingwu thought about his outline for a while.
The copy of the Extreme South Domain was not created by Du Qiusheng, because in the original plot, Du Qiusheng won the Secret Realm Trial three years later and crushed the leader Xie Langzhong.
So this copy was created by Xie Langzhong in the original plot.
Xie Pingwu thought for a long time and finally pulled out a passage from his memory.
——Xie Langzhong took Kuzhunu into custody and burned the wooden puppets disguised as ordinary people in the Extreme South Territory. The fire lasted for seven days and seven nights, lighting up the entire Extreme South Territory. After that, no one in the Extreme South Territory remained, and everyone knew that the bustling Extreme South Territory was full of people.
In the Southern Territory, except for the traveling merchants and the slaves imprisoned in the "Black City", there is no one alive.
Xie Pingwu leaned against the wall and suddenly opened his eyes.
