"Master, you …" Bai Yunfei wanted to ask something, but was swallowed by Tian Jiu's glare.
Xiaoxiao wrinkled her face in puzzlement as she sized up Tian Jiu from top to bottom. Was this really the person that Pingfei spoke of? If he couldn't take care of himself, how could he?
She looked at Tian Jiu doubtfully, not knowing what to say.
"Looking at you is like looking at her. You two really resemble each other." Tian Jiu wiped away his tears and blinked his eyes, which he could no longer see clearly.
"Who is she?" Tiny pretended not to understand and shook his head.
"She is …" "She is …" After saying the same two words repeatedly, Tian Jiu seemed to recall something and suddenly stopped speaking to look at Bai Yunfei.
Bai Yunfei waved his hand to the people below him, and the servants quickly retreated. They helped their master into the house, placing him on a chair by the back. Carefully, he closed the window, closed the door, pulled a stool for Xiaoxiao and sat down. Then, he knelt on the ground.
"What are you kneeling for, it's weird!" Xiaoxiao looked at Bai Yunfei kneeling on the ground and felt very awkward.
"Get up! Master isn't dead yet. You don't need to kneel. Take a stool and sit down. Master has something to say. " Bai Yunfei raised his hand and spoke impolitely before turning his gaze back to Xiaoshi.
Bai Yunfei stood up obediently. In front of his master, he did not dare to joke around. Like a good child, he pulled up a stool and arranged himself in a small row.
"Sit in a row, eat fruit, live fruit is so sweet, everyone laughs."
He really couldn't stand this kind of detention and couldn't help but start singing a little song. He happily tilted his head and looked at Bai Yunfei.
However, Bai Yunfei had a serious expression on his face. With his master, he would be able to laugh once more. He was afraid that his master would be angered, so he kept giving him little looks.
This caused Jiu Jiu to laugh, and he started to giggle.
"Tian Jiu Master, why are you kneeling down in front of me when you have nothing better to do? "Are you so sure that Xiao-Xiao is the person you're looking for?" Xiaoxiao asked fearlessly as she watched the atmosphere soften.
With that said, Tian Jiu's expression became serious again. He looked at Bai Yunfei and pointed at a painting in the house. "Go and bring that painting over."
Bai Yunfei stood up and walked over to the wall to retrieve the painting. At this moment, he realized that this painting was heavier than usual. After a careful examination, he realized that there was another mystery within the painting. He did not dare to look at it for too long, so he respectfully handed the painting to his master.
Tian Jiu skillfully took out another painting from the drawing wood and opened it. The woman on the painting made his eyes light up.
Bai Yunfei understood with a single glance that the woman in the painting was exactly the same as the woman in the Nine Incense Stick. Although the color of her clothes was different, her face still left a deep impression on others.
At this time, he also noticed that her small facial features were very similar to this woman's. If it were his daughter, she would look more like him.
"Teacher Tian Jiu, this painting …" Ye Zichen looked at the painting in front of him and replayed all of the paintings of this woman in his mind. The more he looked at them, the more he felt like he was looking at himself.
"At that time, I was young and vigorous, and in order to compete with the Tang Sect in terms of killing, I created a lot of quants. That time, when he was being chased down by the Tang Sect's Sword and Poison Sword Sect, he had been careless and had been poisoned by his opponent. I ran after it, and the poison ran through my blood as fast as I could. Finally, I collapsed at the foot of a cliff. I thought that it was certain death. " As Tian Jiu spoke with a sorrowful expression, it was as if he had returned to that afternoon.
Memories were beautiful and happy, and to him, they were no exception. Recalling the elegance and competitive spirit of his youth, the corner of his mouth could not help but curl into a confident smile.
After laughing, he continued to narrate, "I didn't expect that she would appear like a fairy at this moment. When I woke up and saw her for the first time, her large, gentle eyes were fixed on me, and she asked me with concern, How do I feel? I checked my pulse and found that not only did it dispel the poison, but it also increased my power. "
"She saved you, so you have to repay her kindness. "According to what Mother Qian said, she was also being hunted down at that time. I didn't expect that she would be able to save him while she was running for her life." Ye Zichen thought back to what Pingfei had told him.
"Yes!" She said she was being hunted down and wanted to leave after saving me. I have never owed his any favors. At that time, I told her to tell me her wish and that I would use my life to fulfill that wish of hers in order to repay the debt of saving his life. " Tian Jiu nodded and continued, "After thinking about it, she told me that we might never have the chance to meet again in this life. He hopes that one day, we will meet the girl with the jade pendant and give her the good news."
"She …" And she told you about the jade pendant? " Little excited, she stood up.
This old man might be too rash for such an important matter. Just from this face alone, he could tell so many secrets. If he were to meet someone like Feng Shaoyun who knew how to disguise, then he would definitely provoke a fatal disaster.
Tian Jiu saw through the reproach in Xiaoxiao's eyes and honestly said, "I know you blame me for being too hasty, but the moment I see you, it's as if I've seen my benefactor."
"Aren't you afraid that someone will use a disguise technique on you? Tian Jiu, do you know that this might cause you to fail on your promise, and you might even lose your life?" Xiaoxiao started to reprimand him rudely, as if she had forgotten that the old man in front of her was Bai Yunfei's master.
"Xiaoxiao, don't speak to my master like that. He has been looking for you for over twenty years, he …" Bai Yunfei was afraid that his master was angry and did not dare to say more.
Only then did Xiaoxiao ease her expression, sat down obediently and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, I just don't want you to get hurt."
"This girl is right, I am too impatient." Hearing this, Tian Jiu also felt that he had been too hasty.
However, he had always believed that although his eyes weren't as good as before, he was able to discern the truth from the truth with a single glance. Moreover, the person with the highest skill in disguise techniques was under his tutelage, so who would dare to act arrogantly in front of him?
With a smile, he decided to reassure Xiao Budian, "Don't worry little girl, I can still tell the difference between a fake and a fake face with my old eyes. Yun Fei is only my second disciple, and my first disciple is the expert of the art of disguise today, Feng Shaoyun. "
"What did you say?" Xiaoxiao stood up again in agitation.
He blinked his eyes as he looked at Bai Yunfei. If he had the guts to fall into a hole after being designed by the heavens, he would have thought that he was secretly amused. In the end, it turned out that one of them had been sold and had even helped to count the money.
"Master has two final disciples. One is me, and the other is the famous Villa Master of Wind Cloud Villa, Feng Shaoyun." Bai Yunfei explained in detail, and added one last sentence, "That's right! On the day that the Nine Fragrance Intoxication Pavilion opened its doors, he came as well. I saw how tired you were, so I didn't ask you to come and see me. "
"What did you say?" Feng Shaoyun also came on the day of Jiuxiang's Awakening Practice? " He patted his head and had the urge to smash his head into the wall.
D * mn!
The heavens actually made such a suspenseful arrangement. If he had left a bit later that day, he would have met Feng Shaoyun.
It was too much!
"This little girl knows my eldest disciple?" A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Tian Jiu's face as he looked expectantly at Xiaoxiao.
"Yes!" Xiaoxiao nodded stiffly and looked at Bai Yunfei, who also wanted to know the answer. This time, her crying was uglier than his smiling.
Bai Yunfei was also thinking this in his heart. He had initially said that he would not introduce them to each other for the time being, but he never expected that this brat actually knew them even earlier than he did. I wonder how their relationship was like before?
"What's wrong? Did that brat bully you? " Tian Jiu looked at the expression on his small face and asked in concern. Thinking about it, Feng Shaoyun had always had a sense of propriety, and he wouldn't do anything to bully this little girl. Could it be that Bai Yunfei was speaking nonsense?
Thinking of this, his gaze slanted towards his youngest disciple.
"Master, I have always taken good care of this little girl, no …" "I've never bullied her." Bai Yunfei looked at Xiaoxiao with a wronged expression and hurriedly explained.
"Right, right!" Yun Fei has been taking care of me like an elder brother. " Xiaoxiao hurriedly defended Bai Yunfei. Seeing how scared Tian Jiu was, he couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart.
"Yunfei, she is the one that my benefactor entrusted to me. You all promised Master that you would take good care of her." Tian Jiu seriously instructed Bai Yunfei once more.
Bai Yunfei obediently nodded his head and swore with his fingers held up, "Rest assured Master, Senior Brother and I will definitely protect Xiaoxiao. No matter what happens, we will not leave her be."
"Hm!" Remember what you said today, don't disappoint Master. " Tian Jiu nodded in satisfaction as his gaze fell on the painting. He extended his hand and pointed at the woman's waist.
Little Jun glanced over and saw the pair of familiar jade pendants. One was on him, while the other was missing.
"Teacher Tian Jiu, mother told me to find another piece of jade. I searched for a long time, but couldn't find the location of the other jade pendant. "I'm worried, I don't have this life anymore." He was a little worried that Ran Er or the Queen would find him before he found that man, or another jade pendant.
Even though the five men from the Xuanyuan family were all on his side. However, she was well aware that the empress was the one who held the true military power.
As for that neither human nor demon Ran'er, even now, she still didn't know the final goal of that witch. What was even more terrifying was that there was now Shui Rou, a woman who could always make her have nightmares.
Strange things happened one after another, and she felt that the road ahead would be even more difficult. The task given to him by his mother was getting harder and harder to complete.
"Calm down!" "Everything is set. My benefactor said that as long as one jade pendant appears, the other jade pendant will have a reaction and will soon come looking for me." Tian Jiu stroked his white beard, thinking of what his benefactor had said before he left.
He thought about it for a moment and then replayed everything that had happened. He felt that everything that had happened to him was just like writing a suspense novel. The question slowly surfaced, and the mysterious figure who had answered it also gradually revealed his mysterious veil.
A map was only a treasure map or a martial arts secret manual?
Countless questions surfaced in her heart. The only thing she didn't need to doubt was that she had obtained a basket of peach blossoms. She didn't even know where to put it now.
"Little girl, are you wearing the jade pendant?" Tian Jiu couldn't wait to see the jade pendant he hadn't seen in a long time. After looking at it for so many years, he was satisfied.
Looking at the look of anticipation on Tian Jiu's face, Xiaoxiao had the urge to take out the jade pendant on the spot. However, thinking about it, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate. Therefore, she shook her head. "I don't dare to wear such an important thing on my body."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Tian Jiu's face, but he quickly recovered with a kind smile. He instructed Bai Yunfei, "Have the kitchen prepare food, the girl is also hungry."
"Yes!" Master, drink some tea with me and let's talk. I'll go get it. " Bai Yunfei stood up and walked out the door.
