Chapter 40 Not Maintenance

*

Since Xiao Qingzhou pointed out the location, Sikong Zhaixing thought for a moment, then climbed up the eaves and climbed out of the window to the ground, facing the two people.

The man who appeared was ordinary, wearing a very common coarse linen shirt. Sikong Zhaixing didn't like to be fancy, and he was mainly concerned with being inconspicuous when walking in the world.

He looked at the particularly eye-catching girl in front of him and Jin Jiuling, whose face was still bruised, and fell into deep thought.

——Hey, why is Jin Jiuling so miserable?

On the roof, only the top of the head can be seen. Sikong Zhaixing heard Jin Jiuling's voice and thought that Jin Jiuling might not be that miserable. After landing, he found that the other party was more miserable than he expected.

Jin Jiuling had not recognized Sikong Zhaixing yet, his face was gloomy like a dark cloud, and he was silent.

Xiao Qingzhou chuckled: "Are you an acquaintance of his?"

Sikong Zhaixing looked at "her" face and couldn't help laughing. How could he bear not to laugh when such a beautiful woman was talking and laughing to him?

He nodded: "Not an acquaintance, but we have had many dealings."

Jin Jiuling looked at the man with cold eyes and smiled. When he saw him say this, an idea flashed in his mind and he blurted out: "Sikong Zhaixing——!"

Sikong Zhaixing laughed: "It's me."

As the voice fell, Jin Jiuling suddenly jumped up and attacked Sikong Zhaixing. At the same time, Xiao Qingzhou stretched out his foot to hook the stool under him, and the stool fell to the ground and rolled around, blocking his attack. Jin Jiuling got up halfway and stumbled in the middle of the road. He knelt on the ground with a loud clang.

"No, what are you doing to the guests?" Xiao Qingzhou said.

"——I haven't done anything yet!" Jin Jiuling retorted loudly, his voice trembling, not knowing whether it was because of pain or anger, or both.

"That's because I stopped you."

Xiao Qingzhou stretched out his hand to straighten the stool, his fingers were slender and white like jade, and the silver bracelet on his wrist jingled.

He gestured to Sikong Zhaixing: "Please sit down."

Sikong Zhaixing's knees seemed to hurt. The beautiful woman in front of him seemed to be different from what he imagined... She was so quick.

"No."

He didn't dare to grab Jin Jiuling's stool, so he took the stool and sat down beside him, saying to Jin Jiuling: "Long time no see. What are you two doing?"

Jin Jiuling climbed up in a wolfish manner without saying a word. Sikong Zhaixing remained silent, waiting for someone to respond to him.

Xiao Qingzhou looked for a while, then broke the silence and said softly, "Speak."

Jin Jiuling immediately answered Sikong Zhaixing's question, saying, "From what you saw, he wanted to use me as bait, and you were one of them."

Sikong Zhaixing: "…………"

There is absolutely something wrong.

Jin Jiuling lowered his head, not wanting to see Sikong Zhaixing's expression, his heart was filled with shame and humiliation.

Xiao Qingzhou asked Sikong Zhaixing: "Do you want to save him or kill him?"

There are too few options! Sikong Zhaixing was speechless and asked: "...Isn't it okay to neither kill nor save him?"

Xiao Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look of reproach in his peach blossom eyes: "So you are just here to watch the fun." Jin Jiuling raised his head

and stared at Sikong Zhaixing as if he wanted to break his neck. Sikong Zhaixing felt a little aggrieved. Jin Jiuling's infamous result had nothing to do with him. Why did Jin Jiuling hate him so much?

"Don't say I'm here to watch the fun. I'm just here to investigate. Who would have thought that he had just come out of the Valley of Evil with you by his side?" Sikong Zhaixing scratched his head and said, "By the way, how should I call you?"

"Xiao Qingzhou." The beautiful lady smiled.

Sikong Zhaixing repeated it in his mind, staring at the smiling girl in front of him, and smiled: "I saw the Lord of Yaoyue Palace, and I thought you were the Lord of Lianxing Palace."

"Ha."

A sneer came from Jin Jiuling, whose eyes were dead, and his face was full of mockery at this time.

"I didn't expect you to be blind sometimes."

"I just recognized the wrong person, not..." Sikong Zhaixing was half puzzled, and suddenly realized.

Bu Zao reached out and patted his clothes, straightened his clothes, and leisurely admired Sikong Zhaixing's shocked expression.

Bu Zao didn't know what fun other players had, but he enjoyed watching the various expressions of game characters, just like Sikong Zhaixing, whose expression after realizing Xiao Qingzhou's true gender was quite interesting.

Sikong Zhaixing hesitated to speak, and finally admitted painfully that he was temporarily blind: "Xiao... Sir, no one fits the term of a boy with feminine appearance better than you. I'm sorry, I mistook you for a girl."

"It's okay, I don't care." Xiao Qingzhou said tolerantly.

Sikong Zhaixing couldn't restrain his eyes from looking at Xiao Qingzhou. Xiao Qingzhou's appearance was beautiful and heroic, and his every frown and smile was vivid and bold. He attracted all the attention of others the moment he appeared, making people subconsciously ignore some sense of incongruity. Xiao Qingzhou's reaction seemed to be very habitual. Sikong Zhaixing touched his chin and asked the handsome boy in front of him: "Is this your real face?" Bu

Zao was happy. Is it necessary to ask so directly

? "Yes, it's natural." Xiao Qingzhou said.

"Then you are really born beautiful..."

Sikong Zhaixing still felt a little annoyed for his poor eyesight. He had always been the only one who used disguise to deceive others, but he didn't expect that one day he would be deceived by his face.

"Sikong Zhaixing, is this the reason you came here?" Jin Jiuling interrupted the conversation coldly.

Sikong Zhaixing looked at Jin Jiuling and said, "I said, I came to see if Captain Jin was in the Evil Valley, but Captain Jin, your situation is better than I thought-" Facing Jin Jiuling's increasingly angry expression, Sikong Zhaixing slowly added, "After all, you didn't lose your hands or feet, you are still intact."

"Sikong Zhaixing!"

Jin Jiuling shouted angrily.

He could only shout angrily.

Sikong Zhaixing winked at him, and her smug look was very outrageous, like a knife slowly scraping Jin Jiuling's dirty heart.

One of them didn't make a move, and the other didn't dare to make a move, and quietly looked at the young man in pink clothes on the side. The other tilted his head, looked like he didn't notice anything, and smiled and said, "You two have a good relationship."

"——" Jin Jiuling wanted to curse, but he held back and swallowed a mouthful of dirty words.

Sikong Zhaixing said: "Master Xiao, have you forgotten my identity and our relationship?"

Yaoyue next door could no longer bear it and banged on the wall: "Shut up!"

Sikong Zhaixing's voice stopped abruptly, Bu Zao glanced at him, and inexplicably saw some grievance on his face.

That night, Sikong Xing stayed in this inn. He didn't see Yaoyue, and apart from Jin Jiuling's matter, he was quite curious about why Yaoyue would travel with Xiao Qingzhou, a man.

The next day, Sikong Zhaixing got up early and went to listen to the gossip with full energy.

Yaoyue and Xiao Qingzhou sat opposite each other downstairs. In the morning light, one had a cold temperament and the other had a gentle atmosphere. They both had outstanding looks. It was a rare scene.

Sikong Zhaixing ran over and sat down, imitating the curious Lu Xiaofeng: "What is the relationship between the two of you?"

But he was not like Lu Xiaofeng who would ask step by step, and his way of asking was very unpleasant.

Bu Zao himself was completely nonchalant, but Yao Yue frowned and said in a surprised look: "It has nothing to do with you." Sikong Zhaixing originally thought that Yao Yue showed up here for Jin Jiuling, but Jin Jiuling is now Xiao Qingzhou's "bait", and Yao Yue also gets along well with Xiao Qingzhou, so Yao Yue's purpose of coming here is somewhat worrying.

I haven't heard that Wei Wuya's base camp is here.

Sikong Zhaixing looked at the two outstanding people in front of him thoughtfully, his eyes moving around, and he accidentally met Xiao Qingzhou's eyes, so he showed a pleading look to him who seemed easy to talk to.

The beautiful woman smiled faintly: "If she doesn't want to say it, I can't tell you. I respect her thoughts."

This was said ambiguously, Sikong Zhaixing took a breath of cold air, and Yaoyue said coldly: "Don't think about it."

Xiao Qingzhou looked innocent.

Sikong Zhaixing looked at his face and said, "Mr. Xiao is a thousand times better than Wei Wuya. I can understand that."

Yaoyue picked up the tea bowl on the table and splashed water into Sikong Zhaixing's mouth, saying in a cold tone, "Shut up!"

Sikong Zhaixing dodged by turning his shoulder, half of his shoulder was wet, he covered his mouth tightly, his eyes rolling around .

Bu Zao watched the show silently and named this scene "Monkey Picking up the Moon".

They both looked at Xiao Qingzhou, who blinked his eyes and had no reaction to the subtle conversation between the general and the talented. Such a frank look made them seem ungenerous.

Yao Yue dropped the bowl, folded her arms and turned away in the sound of clinking. Sikong Zhaixing scratched his chin and said, "I came here to investigate the whereabouts of Jin Jiuling. I heard that the killer Wu Du was in the Western Regions, so I came to ask him about Chong Ming. But he was so mysterious and I didn't see him..."

Yao Yue, who was looking sideways outside the house, turned his head slightly and looked at the handsome boy opposite.

Xiao Qingzhou narrowed his eyes.

"Chong Ming," he asked, "Why are you asking about him?"

"Didn't Captain Jin tell you?"

Sikong Zhaixing didn't say that he owed Chong Ming a favor, but only said that he had dealt with Chong Ming before and was very curious about him. He guessed that Wu Du might know about Chong Ming.

"That's right." Xiao Qingzhou said lightly, "He didn't mention that he asked you to steal someone. It seems that he still has many secrets... Come to think of it, what kind of person do you think Zhongming is when you met him?"

"He is a moody guy with a weird temper." Sikong Zhaixing's evaluation was merciless and to the point, "He is unpredictable."

Xiao Qingzhou's expression seemed to reveal a trace of helplessness.

Sikong Zhaixing was a little confused.

Yaoyue said faintly: "The relationship between you two brothers is very good. It's okay to protect him. What's the point of caring about other people's opinions on him?"

Sikong Zhaixing:...Huh

Xiao Qingzhou shook his head and said, "It's not protection. I just don't want others to look down on my fellow disciples."

Yaoyue sneered at this answer that was almost like a trick.

She and Chongming were at odds, and Xiao Qingzhou was Chongming's junior fellow apprentice. Of course, she couldn't stand Xiao Qingzhou's attitude, but it was reasonable for the brothers to be so, so Yaoyue didn't want to say more.

Facing the sneer of Palace Master Yaoyue, Bu Zao was a little depressed. He really just wanted to protect the reputation of the sect. Because although the third disciple only listened to himself, he was also the master's vest, a member of the Salted Fish Sect, and he also had a sense of identity.

Sikong Zhaixing's brain processed the information and almost shouted out: "He is your senior brother!!"

Xiao Qingzhou nodded: "Yes."

Jin Jiuling reluctantly pulled the carriage and shouted weakly while standing outside the house.

Yaoyue and Xiao Qingzhou hadn't moved yet, but Sikong Zhaixing had already climbed onto the carriage like a monkey.

Jin Jiuling: "...What are you doing in the car?"

Sikong Zhaixing: "Chongming is Xiao Qingzhou's senior brother, did you know that?"

Jin Jiuling: "--What!"

Xiao Qingzhou was showing his kindness to Yaoyue after a long separation: "Just now Sikong Zhaixing mentioned Wei Wuya's matter...Do you want me to kill him?"

He had a delicate and moving face, his peach blossom eyes were full of affection, but his words made Yaoyue's mouth twitch slightly.

"No need, it has nothing to do with you. ... Hurry up." Yaoyue said.

Xiao Qingzhou looked a little sad, and without saying anything more, he turned and left.

Yaoyue stared at his back, the carriage was moving, gradually moving away. She lowered her head slightly, lost in thought.

Before meeting Xiao Qingzhou, she had never thought that he was a man... Yaoyue even thought that if he was in a bad situation, he would at least agree to let her enter Yihua Palace.

...But "she" turned out to be a man!

The culprit had already left, but Yaoyue still couldn't help thinking about Xiao Qingzhou, and the more she thought about it, the worse she felt.

Bu Zao said to the system: [Look at how deep your impression is. You can study it appropriately for reference. Maybe it will be useful for your work in the future.]

The system said: [Thank you for the player's concern.]

[The system expressed doubts about the player's words.] [

This kind of operation method does not seem to be very useful in work.]

[The system will analyze the player's operation method in the database for reference in the future.]

It actually learned it. Bu Zao seemed to see a blank sheet of paper... being stained with the mess of colors he created.

The player believed that the system was an adult system working alone and decided to let it go.

Yao Yue got off the car, and there was a new Sikong Zhaixing in the car. This guy asked Xiao Qingzhou about Chongming's origins in all aspects. Bu Zao tried to fool him with some questions, and Sikong Zhaixing finally knew that Chongming was the eldest senior brother, Xiao Qingzhou was the younger junior brother, and Chongming had been a rebel for two years because of a quarrel with his master.

"Then how many senior brothers do you have?"

"I don't want to say... We are just brothers in the order of our entry, it doesn't matter."

But he did have something to say! Sikong Zhaixing had a lot of opinions about this.

But his opinions were useless, Bu Zao's plan would not change easily, and if Sikong Zhaixing knew about the existence of the Salted Fish Sect so early, everything would be meaningless.

Because the name of the Salted Fish Sect... according to the character of the Third Disciple, he couldn't say it out loud. Only the Second Disciple could tell others with a straight face.

Unfortunately, no important character in the game has asked the Second Disciple where he came from.

Bu Zao sighed.

Jin Jiuling wanted to sigh too. The closer he got to the Central Plains, the more worried he was that the Bat Master would come knocking on his door. Maybe the firewood seller passing by on the road or the peddler walking the streets could be the Bat Master's spies.

Even if he met a convoy on the road, he would worry that it was the Bat Master's power. He was so frightened that he always wrapped his head with a cloth and hid in the shadows to spy on the surroundings.

Sikong Zhaixing felt a little sympathetic towards him and asked Xiao Qingzhou: "Who are you going to lure out with him?"

"Voluntary participation." Xiao Qingzhou smiled, "I don't know who will be attracted. After all, he has many secrets and is unwilling to tell them. For example, the person walking here outside may be here for him."

Jin Jiuling turned his head suddenly.
