Ling Xiyue glanced at Nalan Xueyi gratefully, "Xueyi, I want to return to Tianlin as soon as possible..."
When she said this, she paused slightly and glanced at the two maids beside her.
Nalan Xueyi understood and gave Su Bei a look.
Su Bei understood immediately, his eyes blinked, and he quickly waved his hand to the palace maid, "Go and make a pot of hot tea for the young master and the girl, get some pastries, and more..." He took the opportunity to say in different ways.
Some food, "Let's go."
Anyway, it takes a long time to prepare.
"This..." The palace maid looked at Ling Xiyue and hesitated.
"Why, my young master wants to drink some tea, but you can't help him?" Su Bei looked unhappy.
"I don't dare." The palace maid blessed Nalan Xueyi, glanced at the other palace maid, and quickly left to prepare.
After dismissing one, Su Bei turned his eyes to the other, and leaned towards her eagerly, which made the maid's face change.
"Sister, come here, I have something to ask you." Su Bei himself is also handsome, and his smiling look is really sunny and charming.
"Wha, what...but..." The palace maid was in a trance for a while.
Before he could finish his "but" after stammering, he was pushed and pulled away by Su Bei.
Outside, the tide surges and the waves are rough, lapping at the cliffs, and the setting sun covers the entire sea area.
In the pavilion, only Nalan Xueyi and Ling Xiyue were left.
Ling Xiyue looked at Su Bei who was carrying the maid away, "Xueyi, I remember, did you mention before that in addition to Longmen, the Huangfu family also has a secret passage that can lead to the outside sea?"
She looked back and looked across.
His eyes were tentative and hopeful.
Nalan Xueyi looked at her, her dark eyebrows tightening.
Of course he knew what Ling Xiyue was planning.
"That's right, besides Longmen, there is indeed a road leading to the outer island." Nalan Xueyi replied.
Ling Xiyue's eyes brightened slightly, but before her question came out, Nalan Xueyi said softly "Hey" and said what she was thinking, "It's just that secret passage, except for the direct royal family of the Huangfu family, that is, King Feng and
No one knows it except the high priest."
Hearing this, Ling Xiyue frowned, and the light in her eyes flickered.
In fact, she didn't have much hope. She just asked tentatively. There was no other way.
"It seems that the only way is to hold the high priest hostage and force him to reveal the location of the secret passage." Ling Xiyue shook her head and smiled. The idea of going to sea through the secret passage had just come up, but reality extinguished her hope.
flame.
Nalan Xueyi also smiled helplessly.
Everyone knows that this is impossible.
Ling Xiyue was anxious, "But procrastinating like this is not an option."
She stood up and looked at the sea that was stained blood red by the setting clouds. She still refused to give up and murmured to herself, "In all these years, has the Huangfu family only had the High Priest and King Feng walk through that secret passage?"
There has never been an emergency where, for example, someone else needed to use a secret passage to go out?
"When you said this, I suddenly remembered that in addition to the high priest and King Maple, there may be two people who also know the location of this secret passage." Nalan Xueyi's cherry lips were light, and in the pupils as thick as splashed ink, there was a flash of light.
Nalan Xueyi's voice was frozen for a few seconds, then he raised his eyes, looked at the girl in front of him quietly, and said slowly, "One of them has been dead for many years."
"Where is the other one?" Ling Xiyue did not hear the deep meaning of Nalan Xueyi's words. She just thought that there was still a little hope left, so she hurriedly asked.
Nalan Xueyi's eyes narrowed slightly, "The other one is the Seventh Supreme Being, Huangfu Shengxin."
"Seven Masters?"
Ling Xiyue narrowed her eyes slightly.
Nalan Xueyi said "Yes", "If you get the help of Qi Po, you will definitely be able to get out of your current predicament."
Hope rekindled in Ling Xiyue's heart, she groped the tip of her red and swollen chin with her fingertips, "It sounds like she is a mother-in-law. She should be much easier to deal with than those old men. After all, women are soft-hearted."
This is even worse for older people.
But Nalan Xueyi's next words broke Ling Xiyue's fantasy, "This Qi Po's temper is a bit weird... She has always been a loner. Except for King Feng, she almost never goes with other priests and sages.
He doesn’t show up often.”
He recalled, "I have been visiting Wang Island for more than ten years, and I only met him on the night I returned to the island."
"Weird?" Ling Xiyue took a step back to face Nalan Xueyi and sat down, "What's this weird method?"
Nalan Xueyi thought about it for a while, but didn't know how to describe it, so she said, "Compared with the moody, withdrawn and unruly Qi Po, this high priest only abides by etiquette and is strict and harsh."
After he finished speaking, he added, "Sometimes, even the high priest has no choice but to turn a blind eye."
The corners of Ling Xiyue's eyes trembled slightly, and she suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This means that it is more difficult to handle than the high priest."
What’s the point of having so many people know about it? It actually makes it more difficult.
Ling Xiyue said quietly, "Hey, let's think of another way."
She always believes that there is no perfect way out!
"However, Qi Po may be able to help you." Just when Ling Xiyue was about to give up and find another way, Nalan Xueyi suddenly said this, his eyes gently looked at the girl in front of him, and his eyes fell on her face.
At this time, the eyebrows moved strangely.
Ling Xiyue looked over and blinked, "What do you mean?"
This time, it must not be my illusion!
What does it mean to help her?
"Xueyi, I think the Seven Lords and I are strangers to each other, or we don't have much connection, right?" Ling Xiyue's eyes sank slightly, and she stared at Nalan Xueyi's expression without blinking, "Even if the Seven Lords help
Me, that should be for your sake."
Ling Xiyue's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the man in front of her.
However, he and the Seven Lords only had a one-sided relationship!
"I'm not absolutely sure." Nalan Xueyi lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, but did not explain much. He answered the question inappropriately, "If you go to visit rashly, Qi Po will definitely not see me. I will go and say good things to Uncle Ying."
, let Uncle Ying take me to see Qi Po."
Without revealing any trace, he changed the subject.
"Uncle Ying?" Ling Xiyue returned to the middle-aged man who came to greet Nalan Xueyi when she first entered the island. After thinking about it for a moment, she shook her head, "He already had a grudge against me coming to the island. I'm afraid he won't
Will help again.”
Nalan Xueyi smiled, stood up, and affirmed, "He will do it."
There is almost no uncertainty in the three words with a slight smile.
"Huh?" Ling Xiyue's doubts became more and more intense.
Just because he has a good relationship with Nalan Xueyi, Uncle Ying would go beyond the rules of the Huangfu family and rashly help her as an outsider?
After all, they are the people around Huangfu Haofeng, so they will not be so unprincipled!
