Fan Ye smiled faintly, "Who am I? Is it so important?"
"It is very important to me." Sima Xichen said, still smiling, "You give me a very strange feeling. We seem to know each other and yet we seem to be strangers. Therefore, I would like to ask Brother Fan to give me an answer, so as not to keep worrying about it in my heart.
Thinking."
Fan Ye said nothing and played with a branch in his hand.
"Are you using the Qingfeng Sword?" Suddenly, Fan Ye asked lightly, his eyes a little erratic, as if he was holding back something.
Sima Xichen nodded, "Yes, it is indeed the Qingfeng Sword. You have really good taste. Did Xiaofan tell you this? I once told her about the Qingfeng Sword."
"Since you are ruthless and unkind to her, don't mention her anymore. Why mention her? It's annoying and boring." Fan Ye said lightly, "Since she is just a chess piece, just use her as a chess piece.
, there is no need to use emotions as bargaining chips, it is really harming others and yourself."
"So you really know her." Sima Xichen said quietly.
"Of course I know her. She is Prince Ye's daughter. How could I not know her? You are a bit of an idiot to ask this question." Fan Ye snorted lightly and said disdainfully, "I am not very familiar with her.
Because she is familiar with you, so don’t mention anything about your attachment to her in front of me, it makes me feel uncomfortable."
"She is a secret in my heart. If I tell you, you won't understand, so don't tell me." Sima Xichen's expression was indifferent, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes, as if he was hiding something, "Brother Fan is still free and easy.
Don't worry about these worldly things."
Fan Ye said nothing.
"Are you really a staff member of the Ye Mansion?" Sima Xichen and Fan Ye sat across from each other. In the quiet atmosphere of the ancestral hall and in the warm eyes of his mother, he seemed to feel more at ease, "To be honest, when I arrive
I’d rather you were just a passerby.”
"It doesn't matter where I am from, it doesn't matter who I am, my name and identity are completely false, just treat me as a person who doesn't exist at all." Fan Ye said sadly, "Actually, I shouldn't
When we are chatting with you like this, I should stay away from you. There are too many old rights and wrongs in you. If I were smart enough, I should hide far away from you where you can't see me."
"Li Qiang is really relieved that such a big place is unattended." Sima Xichen suddenly changed the topic, as if he didn't want to discuss who Fan Ye was.
"Humph, you are so naive. If Li Qiang was really as naive as you think, he wouldn't have won the world." Fan Ye said coldly, "It seems like there is no mechanism here, but in fact it's because you haven't intervened yet.
To the real core.”
Sima Xichen nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Fan is absolutely right. This is my biggest suspicion. With Li Qiang's character, how could he leave this place completely unguarded? There must be only two reasons.
, one is that there is nothing here, and the other is that there is everything here. I really doubt that there should be a secret world here."
Fan Ye was stunned, looked at Sima Xichen, and was about to say something.
Suddenly, Sima Xichen stepped forward, and the Qingfeng Sword popped out of its scabbard, making a clear and crisp sound, just like the sudden rise of the autumn wind. Fan Ye felt a chill on his body. He subconsciously handed over the branch in his hand, and felt an object falling from the top of his head.
Underground, the branch in his hand gently slid across Sima Xichen's face, leaving a shallow blood mark. Looking closely, there was a venomous snake squirming gently on the ground. It was a krait.
"This should be the guard here." Sima Xichen lightly brushed his face and said with a smile, "Brother Fan, this is the first time I have seen blood stains since my debut. You are really good at martial arts."
Fan Ye didn't move for a long time. He didn't come here often. He had only come here a few times with his father before. He only looked at it from a distance and didn't get closer. This time when he entered the ancestral hall, at first glance, he didn't feel anything.
What's so strange is that it's very clean, with no traces of dust on either the floor or the walls.
He even forgot to apologize.
"Brother Fan, if you look more carefully, you will find that there are no traces of birds or insects within ten meters in front of the ancestral hall door, and there are no mice. At the same time, if you look carefully, you will find that there is something strange here.
The decorations are actually quiet snakes. These snakes must have been trained to sense the temperature of people. If people are excited, they will naturally attract their attention. When you spoke just now, there was resentment in your heart and your tone was a bit
Being so excited, you startled a snake coiled into a dragon-like pattern next to you." Sima Xichen said with a faint smile.
Fan Ye frowned slightly and looked around. He stayed there and had almost no reaction. Sima Xichen was right. At the beginning, he didn't notice at all. There were indeed some strange decorations here, which were quiet.
The beautiful pattern has a cold luster in the sunlight. Now if you look closely, you can see that it is really made of various venomous snakes coiled up, just like a sculpture, and you can't see it at all.
Fan Ye immediately stood in the middle of the ancestral hall, his expression slightly changed.
Sima Xichen smiled and said: "Brother Fan, don't be afraid. The snakes here are all trained. As long as you are not emotionally excited, they will not attack you. Now you can calm down your breath and restore your breathing smoothness.
Then I won't disturb them anymore. This Li Qiang is smarter than I thought, and the people who come here to clean must be people with martial arts skills. There must be people who want to come here to find out. It is very clean here, and it must be done every day
Someone came to clean up in time, which is why the officers and soldiers are not allowed to come, but there are no guards. No one will find the people who come here, and the people who come here must have come and never come back. No wonder Mr. He doesn't let me
Come here, I'm afraid the people under him have had such an experience."
Fan Ye tried to calm his breath.
"Snakes don't attack people on their own initiative." Sima Xichen said with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart that if Li Qiang was so cautious, there must be something unknowable here. "Just be careful and nothing will happen."
He looked around, but couldn't see anything special.
"It seems cooler here than outside." Fan Ye said unintentionally. Perhaps because he was too nervous just now, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill. Looking at the snake lying on the ground, he still felt a little uncomfortable, "I want to go out and bask in the sun.
The sun is shining, and this place makes me feel very uncomfortable. If you want to stay, that's up to you."
Sima Xichen smiled softly and said: "Maybe it's because of your psychology. It turns out that Brother Fan is afraid of snakes. In fact, Brother Fan can tell that it's interesting. It's indeed much cooler here than outside. I've stayed here.
After half a day, I actually felt a little chilly. And the snakes here are all in a lethargic state, which means there must be an ice kiln or something like that nearby."
