Chapter 455: The meaning of never forgetting.

If Qin Nian didn't hide from Jiujiu, Jiujiu would have found him naturally. But now, in order to avoid being questioned by Jiujiu and not being stopped by Jiujiu, Qin Nian hid himself sincerely.

It’s difficult for Jiujiu to find someone!

but--

As long as he is a human being, he needs to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, wear clothes, have food, shelter and transportation, and he will have the desires and thoughts that a normal person should have.

If you start looking for someone from these aspects, you will definitely find him.

After thinking about it, Jiujiu felt that if she started from the former residence of Saint Jiaoyan, or the place that Saint Jiaoyan liked most, she would definitely find it.

Now that Qin Nian is back, he will definitely go to these places.

Mermaids!

Yes, it’s the mermaid tribe.

The reason why the Saint Maiden Jiaoyan is called the Saint Maiden Jiaoyan is, firstly, she was born in the mermaid tribe, and secondly, her nickname is Yanyan.

Therefore, now that Qin Nian has returned and values ​​Saint Maiden Jiaoyan so much that he is willing to wait for a hundred years, he will definitely visit Saint Maiden Jiaoyan's former residence.

The mermaids lived not far from the imperial palace, in the hidden mountains and streams behind it.

If Qin Nian really went there, it would explain why he often appeared and disappeared without a trace.

If he hides there, it will be convenient for him to travel between the two sides.

With his skills, no one would notice him.

【Ahhh, I am so smart. 】

[Let's set off now and head to the mermaid tribe. 】

Hundreds of years ago, the mermaids originally lived in the sea and could not live without it. However, the mermaid Saint Jiao Yan risked her life to find a magical medicine on the treasure island and let her people eat it, so her people can live on land. When their bodies are dry and they need water, they can just go into the nearby water, without being trapped in the deep sea.

However, even after her people left the sea, they did not spread out all over the world, because they did not like fighting, and their purpose of going to the sea was just to stay with the Mermaid Saint.

So they built a residence in the mountains and streams behind the Western Chu Imperial Palace and lived there in seclusion for a hundred years, or several generations.

Everyone in the royal family knew this, so they didn't bother him.

Jiujiu hurriedly prepared to go to the mountains and streams behind the palace.

Dijiang accompanied him.

The two flew over.

Gongsun Yan also followed the two of them.

Seeing the two people suddenly fly away, Gongsun Yan tried his best to chase them, but he couldn't catch up.

He sat on the ground in frustration, holding his head for a while, then he found a way to make himself two wings and began to learn to fly.

He still grumbled unconvinced: "Don't think you're the only ones who can fly. Just wait and see, I will definitely learn it."

Jiujiu and Dijiang flew to the mountain forest and stream and landed on the ground.

Jiujiu just heard Gongsun Yan's unconvinced words. She shook her head and said, "This Gongsun Yan, can't he see that this place is not for everyone to come, so I left him behind. I had no choice."

"But he thought that I didn't want to take him with me and abandoned him, which was not kind."

Dijiang shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget about this idiot, let's move on, shall we?"

"Um."

The two walked to the mountain forest and stream, where the mermaids lived.

There is a waterfall here, flowing down from the top of the mountain. The mermaids live in bamboo houses near the waterfall.

At the entrance to the bamboo house, there are people from the mermaid tribe guarding it, and they won't let outsiders in easily. If you insist on breaking in, they won't be polite.

When Jiujiu and Dijiang arrived, they happened to see Qin Nian talking to the gatekeeper and seemed to want to go in.

However, the gatekeeper would not let him in, so it was useless no matter how much he said.

With Qin Nian's ability, he could have flown in forcefully, regardless of the obstruction of the person in front of him, but he didn't do it, and he didn't know why.

"He is really here!" Di Jiang said, "Jiujiu, you are really smart."

"That's right!" Jiujiu nodded with a smile, and he and Dijiang took two steps forward.

The next moment, the two heard the gatekeeper impatiently say to Qin Nian: "Qin Mu, you are not welcome here, please leave quickly, or I will release the dogs."

"Qin Mu?"

"Isn't his name Qin Nian?"

Dijiang was puzzled.

The same is true for Jiujiu.

The two looked at each other.

Qin Nian was shocked when he suddenly saw Jiujiu. He subconsciously wanted to continue hiding from Jiujiu, but was stopped by Jiujiu.

"Qin Nian, Qin Mu? Who are you? Can you give me an explanation first?" Jiujiu asked vigilantly.

Qin Nian glanced at the Fengming Sword that Jiujiu used to stop him, and said bluntly without hiding anything: "My original name was Qin Mu, but because I missed Jiao Yan too much, I changed my name to Qin Nian, which means never forgetting."

[This Qin Nian is indeed deeply in love with the Holy Maiden Jiao Yan. ]

【It’s exactly what I guessed before. 】

[But, since he deeply loves the Mermaid Saint, why do the Mermaids dislike him so much? They even look at him with disdain? Did he do something wrong?]

Jiujiu was thinking this, and Qin Nian was about to take the opportunity to escape again, but he was stopped again by Jiujiu's quick eyes and hands.

Jiujiu also threatened, "If you think about running away again, be careful or I will use the Fengming Sword to chop off your immortal body."

"Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you saved us before. Don't put us in your eyes and play with us."

“…”

Ahem, the princess's arrogant and unforgiving character is exactly the same as that of Jiao Yan back then.

Qin Nian sighed resignedly and said, "Forget it, forget it. I won't run away. Don't worry."

"Let's find a place to talk, then?"

"good."

Jiujiu found a secluded place and told Qin Nian about his breaking into the palace and harassing her father and grandmother. She said seriously, "Qin Nian, I heard why you held my father and grandmother hostage."

"I am here to tell you solemnly today that I, Xi Chu, did not kill the Holy Maiden Jiao Yan, and the Holy Maiden Jiao Yan was not reduced to ashes, let alone a corpse. If you don't believe me, I can personally take you to the tomb of the Holy Maiden Jiao Yan to have a look."

"Her body is still intact."

"She will always be the pride of Xichu."

"I, Xichu, will always be proud of her."

Qin Nian still had some doubts, but seeing Jiujiu was so determined and was willing to take him to see Jiao Yan's tomb, he couldn't help but want to believe it.

"Princess, I want to believe you. Are you sure you are not lying to me?"

"I'm sure." Jiujiu raised his finger and swore, "If I lie to you, I will be struck by lightning."

"Okay, then take me to Jiaoyan's tomb. I want to see it with my own eyes." After seeing Jiaoyan's body, he can make a judgment on who killed her.

"Okay, but..." Jiujiu said again: "Before you go, there is one thing we need to resolve first. My father and my grandmother were scared by you, just tell me, what should we do?" They had already taken Shoukang Pills before, and if they took them again, the effect would not be great, and it might even be counterproductive.

Therefore, given their current situation, they have to find another way to solve it.

Qin Nian thought for a moment, took out two pills sealed with beeswax from his arms, and handed them to Jiujiu, "Give them this medicine, and they will get better immediately."

"What kind of medicine is this?" It is actually preserved in beeswax, which seems very unusual.
