It was dawn.

Li Qi and Chu Changzui were leaning against the entrance of the alley. Chu Changzui looked a little

too ferocious. Blood and sweat were stained on his clothes. He was rarely so ferocious.

Not only did he look ferocious, but he was also in a very bad mood.

Li Qi killed people quickly, and he dealt with them just as he said...very cleanly.

Seeing that Chu Changzui didn't look particularly energetic, he asked, "How are you?"

"Not bad." Chu Changzui said.

In fact, after the bleeding in his lower abdomen stopped yesterday, his life was fine.

But the sequelae of the obsession had not yet appeared. He just felt a little pain in his body, but this pain was intangible, as if it was in his bones.

"So what are you going to do next?"

"Next..." Chu Changzui's eyes were a little confused.

"Guigumen... I probably can't go back."

His junior fellow disciples were already considered core disciples of Guigumen, but they were all undercover agents in an instant. This means that Guigumen has no idea how many undercover agents are lurking.

If he goes back like this, he doesn't know who is trustworthy and who is not. Once the fortune teller wants to tell things related to his own destiny, his calculations will be particularly inaccurate, so there is a high possibility that he will never come back.

But if he doesn't go back to Guigumen, he doesn't know where he can go.

The elders of Huashan Sect came here with him, but they died without a complete body. If he appears alive, Huashan Sect will definitely ask him to give an explanation.

"I don't know." Chu Changzui said at last.

"Actually, I want to find a place to practice properly... Since last night, I suddenly realized that there may be many mistakes in my previous practice methods. Maybe this is also the reason why I have not been able to realize the Tao."

Chu Changzui recalled the terrible performance of the shopkeeper, and a kind of fascination appeared in his eyes involuntarily.

But in fact, he was just fascinated, and he was not yet moved.

People who have entered the Tao will rarely violate their own Tao, just like people who practice the ruthless Tao rarely enter the sentient Tao again. If you give up your own practice halfway, at best your martial arts will not improve, and at worst your martial arts will be completely useless and you will become a useless person.

Only a few people can break through the limitations and reach a higher level.

But...

this is easier said than done.

Not to mention that after going crazy last night, although Chu Changzui seemed to be safe, in fact, he had internal injuries of varying sizes in his body, and it would probably take several years to recover.

"Why not... ask the shopkeeper for help?" Li Qi suddenly said.

Chu Changzui was stunned.

It's not that he was opposed to this, he just thought it was a bit far-fetched, because the shopkeeper's strength was unfathomable, and his comprehension was not enough. Even if the shopkeeper pointed him out like that, he didn't understand what the shopkeeper was saying. How could the shopkeeper take him in?

"I..." Chu Changzui just uttered a word, and then he realized something. He carefully glanced in the direction of the inn and considered his words.

"I feel that I am not very knowledgeable and I am afraid... I am not capable of staying here."

The shopkeeper's hearing was almost terrible. On the surface, he was far away from the shopkeeper, but in fact, he was just as good as standing in front of the shopkeeper and talking.

Li Qi was kind-hearted. Chu Changzui knew that he was really thinking about him and even tried to get him to show some determination in front of the shopkeeper, but Chu Changzui was still a little unconfident in his heart.

After he said this, he wanted to get up and leave, but was grabbed by Li Qi.

Chu Changzui heard Li Qi say: "The shopkeeper is not as scary as you think. She is actually a very gentle person. As long as you ask her for help, she will definitely help you."

... Even at this time, Chu Changzui wanted to reach out and touch Li Qi's forehead, and then ask him, "Are you crazy?"

I always feel that... the shopkeeper in the eyes of Li Guxing is very different from the shopkeeper in the eyes of other people in the world.

"Heh." Chu Changzui lowered his head and smiled faintly.

He said, "In fact, it's all my own fault... If time could go back, I would definitely accept your suggestion."

"But, it's hard to reverse what has been done."

If he showed up in the inn, then the inn, which was already the target of everyone's criticism, would instantly become the most eye-catching place in the martial arts world.

So no matter his current situation or the martial arts he had practiced for so long, he couldn't accept Li Guxing's kindness.

"But if... I'm talking about if." Chu Changzui suddenly laughed.

"If I had met the shopkeeper a few years earlier... maybe I would have taken a different path."

His master passed away early, and the shopkeeper was indeed the only senior who had given him the feeling of a master. After his master passed away, he stumbled and took many detours, and he slowly figured out many things by himself.

It's too late...

Chu Changzui sighed, it's really too late.

Li Qi remained silent and just stood quietly by.

He really doesn't have many friends in the world, and Chu Changzui is one of them.

Even though Chu Changzui often does some annoying things, it has to be said that Li Qi still feels a sense of sadness in his heart when listening to his words.

Chu Changzui had a very carefree expression on his face, but it didn't last long. A trace of pain suddenly appeared on his face, and then he covered his chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Compared with the blood he spat out last night, the color of this mouthful of blood was redder, just like... blood from the heart.

"Oh no." Li Qi immediately reached out to touch Chu Changzui's pulse. He had never felt such a chaotic pulse before, and Chu Changzui's face was also full of shock.

"Could it be that the sequelae of the obsession last night finally appeared?"

He didn't feel anything yesterday, so he thought that this obsession would just pass. Who would have thought that the most severe sequelae would not appear until now.

An unprecedented terrifying pain came from Chu Changzui's body.

There was no place on his body that didn't hurt.

It felt like someone was breaking his bones with one hand and then putting them back together.

"You..." Li Qi also looked at Chu Changzui in shock. He wanted to help Chu Changzui, but at this moment, a strong force burst out from Chu Changzui's body and pushed him away.

"What's going on?" Many martial artists around looked at the place where Chu Changzui was in shock.

"No, someone is coming." Li Qi immediately realized that if Chu Changzui continued like this, he would definitely attract many people from the martial arts world.

Although the noise caused by the shopkeeper yesterday was quite loud, the thunder did not strike down in the end, so most people from the martial arts world might not know what happened.

But this time was different.

"Chu Changzui must be taken away." Li Qi thought.

"First... take it to the woodshed."

He said as he walked over again with his violent internal energy.

The aura on Chu Changzui's body was as chaotic as a knife swinging randomly. Anyone who came into contact with that aura would probably have a few knife-like wounds on their body.

But the silver robe on Li Qi was as clean as new, even though it was as thin as a cicada's wing.

This was the clothes that the shopkeeper had casually thrown to him the day before yesterday.

... In fact, what the shopkeeper said to Li Qi at that time was, "This is a piece of clothes I found when I was packing things. It's almost autumn now. You can wear it at night when it's cold, but you don't have to wear it when entertaining guests. It's a bit too plain."

Li Qi was silent for a long time when he received this piece of clothes.

Then, he quietly took it back to the kitchen, took the cooking knife, and chopped the "too simple" clothes back and forth a hundred times...

After a long time, the kitchen knife was almost broken by him, and the clothes were fine.

In short, after wearing this dress, Li Qi now has the courage to help Chu Changzui into the woodshed, otherwise he also doubted whether he dared to get close to Chu Changzui at this time.

The danger level of a person who is possessed is almost equivalent to a bomb that is about to explode.

As for why the shopkeeper said that this dress is too simple when entertaining guests... Li Qi can only think that he is now regarded as the shopkeeper's subordinate, so his dress naturally represents the shopkeeper's appearance, and this dress is not presentable in the eyes of the shopkeeper.

He dragged Chu Changzui, who was almost like a dead dog, into the woodshed, wiped the blood from the cuts on his face, looked around, and hurriedly prepared to find some calming pills he had prepared for himself. Feng Qing

yawned and got up. She glanced at the alarm clock next to her. It was not yet six o'clock.

What happened? Why did I wake up suddenly? Have I been lacking sleep recently?

Feng Qing clicked on the unread message on her mobile phone, and her confused eyes suddenly widened.

Yes, it was the boss...

It was too sudden, why did the boss send a message?

She clicked on the message with trembling hands and found that the message was sent by the boss about five hours ago.

[Well done. 】

Ah, this... Feng Qing was a little panicked. She knew that her boss might not be a human being, but she didn't expect that this boss would always praise her. She thought, what did she do this time? Why did he say she was good?

She flipped down and saw another new message. Feng Qing was suddenly stunned.

[Because you did the right thing. I chose you at the beginning because you are such a person. 】

Because... she likes to meddle in other people's business?

Because... she still has a bit of lingering second-year spirit?

Feng Qing looked at the message and suddenly laughed involuntarily.

She laughed very happily.

She yawned, got up completely, tidied the house, prepared to wash up, eat, and then watch some anime.

"Let's order a panini and soy milk first, and then find a TV show. When the takeout arrives, we can watch it while eating..."

Feng Qing looked at the sky outside and said, "But what should we watch?" "

Oh, right..." She seemed to have suddenly remembered something.

Recently, there seemed to be a TV show that she had forgotten to watch.

Li Qi returned to the woodshed with his Qingxin Pills. As soon as he approached the woodshed, his heart skipped a beat.

For some reason... there was no movement in the woodshed.

Everything was so quiet as if there was no one in it.

Li Qi's hands trembled for a second when he pushed open the door. He gritted his teeth and pushed it open.

The woodshed was quiet, with nothing but the smell of blood.

Li Qi felt that he was about to suffocate at that moment. He took another deep breath and was about to pat the black figure curled up in the corner, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. When he

lowered his head, Li Qi saw the child who was looking at him in bewilderment.

...

The child's eyes were black, like two obsidians, and his face was delicate and lovable, just like a fairy child in the sky.

...If the expression on his face did not look too much like an adult, causing some incongruity, then this might be the cutest child Li Qi had ever seen.

He looked at Li Qi.

Li Qi looked at him.

The two looked at each other, as if they would look at each other until the end of time.

As they looked at each other...

Li Qi's hand suddenly loosened.

He, the world's number one swordsman, did not hold the thing in his hand for the first time.

The bottle of Qingxin Pills fell freely to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Then...

it rolled into the corner of the wall.
