No! It’s just that Ling Tu looks a lot like an old friend of mine whom I haven’t seen for a long time. The strange color in his eyes disappeared and his cold eyes returned.
This sentence made Bai Ran's heart feel astringent and a bit bitter.
"Oh, what a coincidence!" Li Xingfeng said with a smile, and looked at Bai Ran again. However, Bai Ran's face was as calm as water, and there was no sign of anything strange.
After the other monks looked at each other, although they all showed their original expressions, how much they really believed this, but only God knows!
The eldest lady Xi Ling also knew that this statement was difficult to win people's trust, but she walked away without any excuse. The remaining people looked at Bai Ran meaningfully for a few times before bidding farewell to Li Xingfeng and his wife.
The smile on Li Xingfeng's face gradually disappeared after seeing off all the guests. He frowned, turned to Bai Ran and said lightly:
"Come into the house with me, I have something to ask you!"
Seeing this, Bai Ran groaned secretly in his heart and had no choice but to agree. The young lady, the master's wife, comforted Bai Ran softly and then entered the house.
When Bai Ran walked into the living room, Li Xingfeng was sitting on a chair, looking thoughtful. The young woman was sitting next to him.
"Do you know Miss Xi Ling?" Li Xingfeng stopped thinking when he saw Bai Ran walking in front of him, and asked directly without any hesitation.
Bai Ran listened in silence for a while, and considered it several times in his mind. Knowing that it seemed that Miss Xi Ling's strange situation had all fallen into this person's eyes, and there was no way he could deal with it, he had no choice but to nod his head and admit.
:
"The disciple knows her sister!"
Li Xingfeng was a little surprised when he heard Bai Ran admit it so easily, and the look on his face immediately softened.
"What's going on? Can you tell me?" After hearing Bai Ran's words, the young woman became more curious and couldn't help but ask. Miss Xi Ling just denied that she knew Bai Ran, but now this apprentice
Also, we know each other, there must be some stories in it.
After hearing what his wife said, Li Xingfeng nodded and looked at Bai Ran, seemingly also wanting to know the whole story.
"Master, forgive me, because this matter involves some private matters of the Xi family, and the disciple has promised never to leak this matter, please forgive me, master!" Bai Ran had already prepared an honest reason, very tactful
refused.
After hearing Bai Ran's words, Li Xingfeng and his wife were greatly surprised. After looking at each other, Li Xingfeng thought about it and said slowly, as if he was considering it:
"Since you have agreed to the other party, I cannot let you break your trust. However, I would like to remind you that it is better to have less contact with Miss Xi Ling! You must know that the Xi family is quite scheming.
I was really afraid that you might have fallen into the other party's trap unknowingly. You were still unaware. But now that you are clear-minded and speak clearly, I feel relieved as a teacher."
When Bai Ran heard this, he felt relieved and quickly said yes.
When Li Xingfeng saw Bai Ran's respectful expression, he looked like he respected his teacher. The last trace of unhappiness in his heart disappeared, and he even pointed out Bai Ran's cultivation problems in a friendly manner. Bai Ran naturally listened attentively and refused to let it go.
Any words from Li Xingfeng.
After a while, Li Xingfeng casually asked Bai Ran a few questions about his experience in cultivation and was quite satisfied with his answers. Suddenly he said something unexpected.
"Bai Ran, my teacher has a personal matter for you to do now. Are you willing?"
"Private matter?"
Bai Ran was stunned for a moment, but immediately agreed:
"Master, if you have something to do, just ask. Disciples should try their best to complete it!"
Li Xingfeng was very happy with Bai Ran's unhesitating attitude. He stood up and walked around the room for two steps, then said to him in a deep voice:
"Actually, it's not that dangerous! I just asked you to be a bodyguard for a while and help me protect the safety of a family!"
"Bodyguard, protector?" Bai Ran was a little stunned, but still listened to Li Xingfeng's words calmly. "Actually, I originally wanted your fourth senior brother Song Meng to go, but recently, I occasionally heard people say that you killed many demons.
What a monk, this is really embarrassing for me and your wife
What a surprise! I didn’t expect that there would be a fierce person coming out of my sect, Li Xingfeng. I heard that even people from the other six sects often talk about it! In this way, naturally I feel more at ease if you go!" Li Xingfeng
He said with a smile, and it could be seen that he was in a very good mood at this time.
The young woman on the side also said with a smile:
"In addition, Song Meng has stayed in Green Wave Cave since he was a child and has not experienced any experience in the secular world. He is very lacking in human sophistication. Even from this aspect, he is not someone you should not protect. He is a mortal in the secular world."
After hearing the compliments from Li Xingfeng and his wife, Bai Ran smiled sheepishly, looking shy. However, he was asked to protect mortals. Although Bai Ran looked normal on the surface, he was still a little confused in his heart.
.
Logically speaking, what kind of danger can a mortal face? Sending any Qi Refining Stage disciple is enough to act as a bodyguard. Why should he send another Foundation Establishment Stage disciple there?
Maybe Li Xingfeng guessed Bai Ran's doubts, so he half-explained and half-narrated:
"The person I asked you to protect is a descendant of one of my former senior brothers. He was very kind to me in saving my life. However, his only son is a mortal without spiritual roots. He cannot cultivate immortality and can only stay in the secular world. Therefore, in his life,
After I passed away, I once swore an oath
, as long as I live for one day, I will absolutely guarantee the safety, prosperity and wealth of his descendants! Therefore, this family has been rich and prosperous for several generations with my secret support for more than a hundred years. If there is danger, I will help them already.
Cleaned up."
Li Xingfeng paused for a moment when he said this, as if he was recalling the past, but then he calmed down and said:
"But I received news a few days ago that people from the Six Demonic Sects may send some low-level disciples into the secular world of their country to cleanse some of the mortals who are secretly supported by our seven sects, in an attempt to combat the secular world's influence on our seven sects.
from ordinary raw materials
Supply. And the relationship between this family and me should be classified as this by the demonic people, so I need someone who can handle this storm to protect the safety of this family. Of course, if the demonic people don’t have
It would be better if you cause trouble for them."
After Bai Ran listened, he nodded solemnly to show that he understood.
"Okay, I will write a letter to the current head of this family to explain your identity and situation. He is also the only person who knows about my affairs with my ancestors. In addition, I have said hello. You are on the outing duty during this period.
The task is considered, so you don’t have to worry about being punished. And this jade slip contains the detailed information of this family. Take it with you and go back and pack your luggage now. We will set off tomorrow morning, and the later will make a difference!" Li Xingfeng finally thought
After thinking about it, he ordered.
"As ordered!" Bai Ran bowed and replied softly.
…
Bai Ran was sitting on the divine wind boat, flying at full speed dozens of feet in the air.
What he was going to now was not the capital city of the Yue Kingdom, Yuedu, where the mortals lived to protect, but he was flying straight towards the Yuanwu Kingdom.
Bai Ran took advantage of this freer mission to go to Qi Yunxiao's appointment to meet and see if the formation master could repair the damaged magic formation that was suspected to be an ancient teleportation formation.
This is the last resort for him to escape in case the seven sects are defeated in the decisive battle. Otherwise, once the six demon sects are free, he will have to spend the rest of his life under the constant siege of the demon people, and there will be no time.
Carry out practice.
Bai Ran estimated that if there were no accidents during the round trip, just over twenty days would be enough, and it would not delay Li Xingfeng's mission at all, so he went there with confidence.
Qi Yunxiao and Bai Ran met at a teahouse in a small town in Yuanwu Kingdom.
According to what he said, the teahouse was opened by one of his servants, so after Bai Ran found this place, he was able to contact Qi Yunxiao.
Bai Ran was traveling at a fast pace. Even if he met a few monks by chance, he would pass by them without paying any attention, without any intention of chatting. After flying around day and night for seven or eight days, Bai Ran finally arrived at the place called
A small place in "Golden Horse City".
In order not to cause a commotion, Bai Ran put away the magic weapon a few miles away from the small town, landed on it, and then walked slowly towards the city gate.
Although this Golden Horse City is not big, there are many people coming and going at the city gate, and there are many people coming in and out, making it quite prosperous.
Bai Ran had an ordinary appearance, and his clothes had already been changed into a half-worn Confucian robe. He was inconspicuous among the people entering the city, so he entered the city along with the flow of people.
This teahouse is quite famous. Bai Ran randomly found a child and asked about the location of the "Three-year-old Teahouse". He easily got what he wanted to know and walked over.
Of course, when Bai Ran stood in front of the so-called "Three-year-old Tea House", he looked at it with great interest.
