The person who came to assassinate or rescue Jin Jiuling has not shown up yet, Sikong Zhaixing is almost idle, and he is increasingly confused about who Xiao Qingzhou is trying to lure into.

When he asked Xiao Qingzhou, he frowned slightly, and his eyes revealed a melancholy look: "Maybe I thought wrongly, I didn't expect that Captain Jin would be so insignificant..."

Sikong Zhaixing found that Xiao Qingzhou always had a pretty face that looked harmless and said things that made people twitch their lips.

Jin Jiuling was not far away with a gloomy face, but he turned a deaf ear to it, just like a dog barking, and didn't want to express any opinion.

Sikong Zhaixing stole a glance at him, feeling very complicated. Jin Jiuling blamed him for not doing a good job and not stealing Chongming in advance, but considering Chongming's ability, even if someone else did what Jin Jiuling asked, they might not be able to do it as well as Sikong Zhaixing.

So many things are unreasonable.

Although the three of them were a group, they sat separately. Sikong Zhaixing and Xiao Qingzhou sat at one table, and Jin Jiuling sat alone at another table. The two were chatting casually when a figure rushed out from the side and sat directly opposite Xiao Qingzhou.

The person was a white-skinned, round-eyed young girl, wearing a moon-white dress and a pearl flower on her hair. She stared at Xiao Qingzhou eagerly and said, "Sister!"

Sikong Zhaixing coughed suddenly.

Xiao Qingzhou tilted his eyes and smiled, "I don't remember having a sister like you."

The young girl knew that she was reckless, and showed a look of trepidation and hesitation. She immediately whispered, "This sister, I have something to ask you. Please move to the private room. I invite you to have tea."

In just a short sentence, three sisters... Sikong Zhaixing couldn't bear to look directly at it, and his mood was subtle.

Xiao Qingzhou smiled and said, "Okay." Bu

Zao didn't care about symmetry. When he pinched the face of the third disciple's vest, he had already anticipated the possibility of being misunderstood. This was within his expectations.

Bu Zao got up and followed the girl to the private room. Sikong Zhaixing also got up and glanced at Jin Jiuling who was not far away. The latter had been paying attention to the movements here and got up reluctantly.

The girl hesitated to speak. She obviously recognized Jin Jiuling and was reluctant to let the two of them go into the private room.

Bu Zao thought about it and asked Sikong Zhaixing to keep an eye on Jin Jiuling. "Please.

" The pink-dressed beauty spoke softly with her eyes moving.

Sikong Zhaixing felt something was wrong when being asked so earnestly, but he had no reason to refuse.

"...Oh." The girl breathed a sigh of relief, but she looked at Sikong Zhaixing with a strange look, wondering why a small subordinate dared to treat the master of the Evil Valley with such an attitude.

Seeing this look clearly, Sikong Zhaixing fell silent, thinking, he didn't seem to give himself the title of the follower of the leader of the Evil Valley

Jin Jiuling sneered: "You actually like to be someone else's subordinate"

Sikong Zhaixing: "..."

I said it's not a subordinate!

In the private room, the girl looked at the beautiful and heroic face behind the curling water vapor, and was a little absent-minded. It was not until the beauty raised her eyes and smiled like spring water in her eyes that she suddenly came back to her senses and opened the topic with a little embarrassment. The girl

called herself Xu Qingyun, a girl from the Xu family, a family of forging knives in Jiangling, and she had an unwelcome request.

She said: "I have heard that my sister is the leader of the Evil Valley, with extraordinary strength and outstanding appearance. Today I see that she is really the most beautiful in the world - I can ask my sister to do something for me, and I can talk about rewards and gifts."

This is a new task. Bu Zao's mission radar beeped, and he waited patiently for the girl in front of him to lay the mat.

His silence made Xu Qingyun a little uneasy, but seeing that he didn't say anything, she also tacitly agreed. After hesitating for a moment, she continued to speak.

Xu Qingyun was born into a martial arts family and had been carrying a sword and riding a horse since she was a child. She had a quiet friend who was a lady from a well-known family who had lived in seclusion for a long time. Half a year ago, she received news that her friend had an acute illness and was dying. She went there anxiously, but found that her friend had already been buried. She didn't even have time to see her friend for the last time.

And her friend's family members were also vague about her friend's death, as if they were covering up something.

Xu Qingyun looked sad: "Ayue was in good health. Even if she had an emergency, she shouldn't... shouldn't have died so quickly... I asked her former maid. She grew up with her and they had a close relationship. She told me that since the Double Ninth Festival last year, my friend started to be distracted, occasionally dazed and restless, and always woke up at night."

Bu Zao understood this. He lowered his eyes slightly.

Xu Qingyun let out a sob in his throat: "She... committed suicide."

The monk who was invited to perform the ritual was the famous monk of Shaolin Temple, "Seven Great Saints" Wuhua. Master Wuhua was well versed in Buddhist principles and had a far-reaching reputation. It was a blessing to be able to invite such a person to perform the ritual.

Out of intuition, Xu Qingyun thought that Master Wuhua was related to her friend's death. After paying a little attention, she found that many famous families would invite Master Wuhua to perform rituals or Buddhist ceremonies. Most of these famous families have daughters in their prime.

Xu Qingyun thought of her friend who died in an unclear manner, wiped her tears, and said to Xiao Qingzhou: "I know that my suspicion is unfounded, but this time I have a rare opportunity to test it. My sister is more beautiful than me, stronger than me, and more charming... I, I want you to go with me to see Master Wuhua to verify whether my suspicion is correct."

[Side Quest: Suspicion]

[Quest Description: After learning that her friend committed suicide, Miss Xu began to doubt the famous Master Wuhua. Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, they will take root and sprout. Xu Qingyun has submitted a commission to lure Wuhua to you, just to seek an answer. But she seems to have completely misunderstood your gender. Do you want to explain it to her?

[Accept] or [Reject]

For this kind of mission, there is no other choice but to accept it.

Bu Zao sighed in his heart.

The pink-clothed beauty raised her eyes, with a trace of sadness in her eyes. "She" nodded slightly to Xu Qingyun: "I will do my best."

Xu Qingyun was surprised, with tears in her eyes and smiled, saying: "Thank you, sister!"

It is said in the legend that the owner of the Evil Valley is an extremely beautiful and peerless beauty. The person in the Evil Valley who delivered the message did not say that the owner was a man, but once people heard "peerless beauty", they would subconsciously think that the other party was a woman.

Three people make a tiger. It is well known that the leader of the Evil Valley is a pretty girl in pink. Xu Qingyun is one of them. She sat with Bu Zao's vest for a long time, but in the end she did not discover Xiao Qingzhou's true gender.

Bu Zao had already accepted the task, and with some curiosity in his heart, he asked, "It is said that the guys in the Evil Valley are extremely evil and are beaten by everyone. Outsiders say that I am the master of the Evil Valley. Aren't you afraid of me?"

Xu Qingyun looked at the delicate and beautiful face in front of her. Her peach blossom eyes were like ripples on a spring lake, her teeth were white and her lips were red. There was no trace of ferocity or evil.

She once again admired Xiao Qingzhou's appearance in her heart and said softly, "I think you look kind, not to mention... I had this idea after hearing the legend about you. I have to give everything a try."

Fortunately, the master of the Evil Valley was more approachable than she thought.

Bu Zao smiled slightly. He appreciated the idea of ​​"I have to give it a try".

The two went downstairs. Sikong Zhaixing saw Xu Qingyun still called Xiao Qingzhou "sister", and he couldn't help but show a reproachful look to Xiao Qingzhou.

But he didn't correct Xu Qingyun's address, and Jin Jiuling didn't do it either.

Xu Qingyun said expectantly: "Sister Xiao, let's go immediately!"

Bu Zao nodded.

Sikong Zhaixing didn't know what they talked about, and asked in confusion: "Where are we going?"

Is this Miss Xu the fish that Xiao Qingzhou is waiting for?

He glanced at Jin Jiuling.

Jin Jiuling stared back with gloomy eyes: It has nothing to do with him!

Who knows why this girl came.

Bu Zao said: "Go to participate in a Buddhist event and feel the infinite mystery of Buddhism."

Xu Qingyun nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and couldn't wait to lead people out. Several people followed the girl to drive together.

Looking at the back figure in front of him, Sikong Zhaixing whispered to Xiao Qingzhou: "Is that the fish you want to catch?"

The mysterious and boundless Buddhist teachings... It's a bit weird no matter how you think about it.

"No." Xiao Qingzhou shook his head, "I'm going to catch new bait."

Sikong Zhaixing was stunned, and Jin Jiuling was shocked. Seeing the two of them stunned, Bu Zao was amused and said, "It's better to have less bait than more bait."

Jin Jiuling tightly closed his mouth, afraid that he would say something to get beaten.

Sikong Zhaixing's eyelids twitched. Although Xiao Qingzhou's smile was innocent, he somehow detected a hint of deep meaning from it.

"You and Chongming are indeed brothers from the same school...you both don't like to speak frankly."

Sikong Zhaixing thought of Chongming who had made him suffer, and felt depressed. He wanted to see what Xiao Qingzhou was up to, and he would not leave until he found out!

Bu Zao always took such words as compliments and remained unmoved. He said, "Don't compare me with him. My senior brother is the most difficult to deal with."

Sikong Zhaixing thought so too, so he nodded, "That's true."

Xu Qingyun rode here by herself, and watched Xiao Qingzhou get into the carriage while holding the horse outside. She turned around and saw Jin Jiuling's haggard, weak and gloomy appearance, so she ignored him, looked at Sikong Zhaixing, and earnestly warned, "You must follow me in the future."

She still regarded Sikong Zhaixing as Xiao Qingzhou's subordinate.

Sikong Zhaixing: "…………"

The proud King of Thieves raised his hand and lifted the curtain, angrily saying: "Tell her! I am not your subordinate!"

How could he be a subordinate of these two fellow disciples? Such a misunderstanding is really unnecessary!

Xiao Qingzhou smiled in the carriage, and his smile was very beautiful. He leaned over to explain to Xu Qingyun: "This is a nameless passerby, not from the Evil Valley, you don't have to care about him."

Xu Qingyun seemed to understand, nodded blankly, looked at Sikong Zhaixing with a look of blame for him not knowing how to be sympathetic to women, and said: "Tell me yourself, why are you yelling at Sister Xiao?"

Jin Jiuling, who was watching silently, laughed. Sikong

Zhaixing was speechless.

This girl didn't even realize Xiao Qingzhou's true gender.
