Chapter 563 Catching an Adulterer
The stars moved, the night deepened, and the dark moonless sky was covered with snow again.
With a slight click, the heavy door of the inner courtyard quietly opened from the inside, and then closed in an instant. The dim inscription lamp flickered for a moment as if it was short-circuited.
A thin layer of gauze-like black material enveloped Xu Yuan's body. He could not see anyone while walking, as if he was a ghost passing through.
This is a way for Xu Yuan to use his black mist soul.
The black mist soul can spread out to form a "simple Dao domain" to fight against the enemy, and shrink around the body to hide the breath and figure, and even the sense of existence.
A very useful method, especially the latter.
When he has a high level of cultivation in the future, he may even be able to achieve the effect like in the short movie in his previous life.
Xu Yuan walked slowly towards Xiangqinxuan, with a bit of fatigue in his eyebrows.
In the afternoon, as soon as he and Ran Qingmo returned to the inner courtyard, Lou Ji sent someone to deliver the investigation files about the Qin family.
However, the files were pulled by a horse-drawn carriage.
Xu Yuan's scalp was numb when he saw the two full carts of various files, but in order to search for useful information, he could only bite the bullet and read through the files.
This search took most of the day.
Ran Qingmo probably stopped practicing around the hour of Hai and told Xu Yuan that he was going back to the guest house to rest.
Does Big Ice Tuozi need to rest?
Absolutely not.
Even Xu Yuan doesn't need to sleep now, let alone Ran Qingmo who is about to merge into the Tao. I think it should be that Ran Jianli, the old man, taught Big Ice Tuozi some things that he shouldn't teach.
However, the situation today is special, so Xu Yuan didn't force her to stay.
After slipping out of the inner courtyard, because the house is too big, Xu Yuan's way to Xiangqinxuan is quite like the old situation in his previous life when he had to drive to the toilet at home.
Moreover, the Huxin Pavilion where Ran Qingmo is located is right in the middle of the inner courtyard of the Xiangfu and Xiangqinxuan. Xu Yuan needs a full quarter of an hour to walk after deliberately taking a long detour.
There was nothing he could do about it. If he moved quickly, he might expose his Qi.
Tonight's secret matter, everything should be done with caution.
However, Xu Yuan was not too worried.
Because Da Bingtuozi was a good woman, she would not use her mind or source Qi to explore the outside casually.
And even if she explored, the soul mist around him could play a certain blocking role.
Xu Yuan was most worried that Lou Ji would interfere. You know, his means of concealing his breath were completely useless to that old woman, and the other party had been trying to ruin his good deeds since daytime.
To be honest, Xu Yuan could actually understand the motives of this old sister to do these things.
Because Lou Ji was an out-and-out hawk in the Xiangfu, the kind of hawk who wanted to give him a robe.
It was precisely because of this that she was one of the top leaders who advocated the separation of the underground palace survivors, and she did not want to see the underground palace survivors become a disaster in the future.
But Xu Yuan did not want to take the path she had set.
Even if the remnants of the underground palace will become a disaster, the premise is that they can win the future war first. If they can't win, it's useless to say anything now.
After a series of events in the past few years, the Xiangguo Mansion is now stronger than any timeline in "Cangyuan".
The protagonist of the plot was killed, and Old Man Luo provided a lot of information about the secret realm of resources, which not only weakened the enemy's power, but also enriched the Xiangguo Mansion's war background.
The incident in Shengshan County allowed the Xiangguo Mansion to reach out to Xizezhou through the Wanxiang Sect.
And the benefits gained from the complete victory in the barbarian war are needless to say. As long as the war in the northern border is finished now, and the production capacity of the three continents of the northern border is divided with the royal family, the power of the Xiangguo Mansion will further expand.
The Xiangguo Mansion is really powerful, even so powerful that even the royal family and the clan alliance have to temporarily avoid the edge, but Xu Yuan has always had a vague uneasiness in his heart.
Because as Xu Yuan understands more and more affairs, the memory of the inexplicable blood collapse in the late Xiangguo Mansion in his previous life "Cangyuan" becomes more and more profound.
In the complicated world line of "Cangyuan", it took the shortest seven years for the Xiangfu to fight all the way from Di'an City to Nanjiang, and the longest more than ten years, and it took less than a year to be pushed back from Nanjiang to Di'an without exception.
Xu Yuan is not as good as his father in plotting the world, but he can raise more chips for his moves.
The remnants of the underground palace are a piece of fine iron for the Xiangfu. Cutting it as scraps to add to other blades of the Xiangfu can make it thicker, but making this piece of fine iron into a complete blade will undoubtedly be more lethal.
After arriving at Xiangqinxuan unimpeded, Xu Yuan identified the direction slightly and walked quickly towards the courtyard where Xiaobai was.
There is no curfew in the Xiangfu. Even though it is already late at night, most of the courtyards in Xiangqinxuan are lit, because except for a few civilian staff with very poor roots, the rest are basically strong people who can work around the clock for twelve hours.
As he got closer to the courtyard where Xiaobai was, Xu Yuan became more and more nervous.
It was not because of the feeling of being afraid of home, but because Lou Ji's yard was only about a hundred feet away from Bai Muxi's.
If he went over here, Lou Ji would definitely hear the sound.
If she was in the yard.
Dong Dong
The snow was silent. When he was only a hundred feet away from Xiao Bai's yard, Xu Yuan subconsciously stopped his steps and his heartbeat accelerated slightly.
Because from a distance, he could see the inscription lamp in the old sister's yard, and the bright light spread far away in the dark and silent snowy night.
Oh no, Lou Ji happened to stay in her own yard tonight.
In other words, his arrival has now been discovered by Lou Ji.
Neither advancing nor retreating.
After standing there for a long time, Xu Yuan was surprised to find that the inscription lamp in Lou Ji's yard was off.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan exhaled unconsciously.
It seems that this old sister finally acquiesced to his choice.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan smiled slightly, walked to the gate of the courtyard and stood still. He scanned it with his spiritual vision and found that the courtyard protection formation was closed. It was obvious that Xiaobai was leaving the door open for him.
Pushing open the gate, just standing on the stone slab road in the courtyard, which was already covered with a thin layer of snow, there was a "creaky" sound of the door opening, and a beautiful figure reflected by the light immediately appeared on the snow
"Knock knock. Knock."
In the dark elegant house, there was a charming fragrance. There was a desk in the middle of the elegant house. Behind the desk, a plump and slender black shadow was rhythmically tapping the files in front of her with her fingertips.
Looking through the tightly closed window at the snowflakes outside, Lou Ji's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.
The survivors of the underground palace.
After observing these days, everything the girl surnamed Bai did was very purposeful, and she knew how to adjust her attitude according to her own identity and the identity of the person she was facing.
Personally, she actually liked Bai's character.
She was ambitious, capable, very active, and willing to pay all the price for her ambition.
However, this kind of liking was as a subordinate.
If Changtian was willing to hand over this girl to her for training, and the other party could stand the test, she could even train this underground palace Siming as her successor.
But if she was Changtian's concubine, Lou Ji would only have disgust for this Bai.
Changtian was a person who valued feelings. Even if it was all an exchange of interests now, it would always be a matter of time. Changtian would inevitably have feelings for this woman in the future, and thus hesitate.
This was actually very fatal.
Bai Muxi's ability to adapt to her own identity will make her continue to push her further, and even if she crosses the bottom line, Changtian will not kill her with a high probability.
Based on this point, Lou Ji even feels that the extremely powerful Wu Yuan of the Li family is not as threatening as this Siming surnamed Bai.
Because Li Qingyan knows her limits very well. Although she has a strong personality, she has her own pride and will not take advantage of Changtian's personality to do something presumptuous.
Thinking in her heart, Lou Ji raised her slender fingers and gently rubbed her eyebrows with a slight headache.
Ran Jianli's disciple is too indifferent and will not suppress Bai Muxi at all. Not to mention the means of the saint of Jiantian Pavilion, it is not easy not to be played around by this woman.
She was a little irritated in her heart, but as a thought flashed through her mind, Lou Ji suddenly smiled.
She thought of the girl from the Li family.
Changtian will not kill this Bai, but Li Qingyan may not. If Bai Muxi goes too far, Li Qingyan will not care so much and will definitely kill her.
At that time, she will give some help to hide Changtian. If everything goes well, it will promote the stability within the Xiangfu.
Thinking of this, Lou Ji suddenly exhaled a self-deprecating breath.
She felt that she was still too idealistic.
The investigation files like snowflakes are telling that the confrontation between the royal family and the Xiangfu is imminent. There has even been a small-scale accidental shooting in the north. Li Qingyan is likely to be the enemy.
In other words, if the girl surnamed Bai dares to go too far, she, the elder sister, will have to be the villain in the end.
"Alas"
Lou Ji sighed softly and glanced at the courtyard where Bai Muxi was tightly locked.
Since Changtian has made a decision on the matter of the remnants of the underground palace, it can only be like this for the time being.
Having made up her mind, Lou Ji slowly stood up from the chair.
She stayed in the Xiangfu tonight to see Changtian's choice. Now it was time to go to the Institute of Gewu to cooperate with Jiang He and Luo Xiran to transform the peeled Jiekong Stone into a teleportation array.
She had been delayed in Di'an for too long. After dealing with this matter, she had to set off as soon as possible to investigate Wanyao Valley. The horrible epidemic in the north was probably just a drug test by the other party. If she wanted to solve it thoroughly, she had to investigate it herself.
While thinking, Lou Ji had already arrived outside the courtyard in an instant. After a few moves, she was close to the edge of the Xiangfu. Just as she was about to use the soul key to cross the Xiangfu formation, her pair of green eyes suddenly glanced in the direction of Huxin Pavilion.
Hmm?
Why is Ran Jianli's disciple walking towards Xiangqinxuan?
Should I remind Changtian?
"."
After thinking for a moment, Lou Ji smiled and shook her head, suppressed the idea of staying in the Xiangfu to have fun, and disappeared in an instant.
I hope Changtian doesn't misunderstand me.
Snow fell in front of the door.
Xu Yuan stared at Bai Muxi, who was wearing a thin white dress. Her face was beautiful with a little makeup, her lips were like roses, and her bright eyes were like a pool of spring water. Under the silk clothes, a navel-baring bellyband with evil was faintly visible, and her flat white belly was even more visible.
After looking at each other for a moment,
Bai Muxi blushed and looked away.
Xu Yuan slightly adjusted his brocade robe, and raised the corners of his lips, looking at the other person's white clothes that he had never seen before:
"Where is the purple dress you bought during the day?"
Xiaobai straightened his waist and hips and bowed:
"The gift from the young master is too expensive, and Muxi wants to keep it, so I went out to buy this plain dress today. If the young master doesn't like it, I will change it now."
The bellyband seems to be unique, and the restraint is not tight. With the ups and downs of Bai Muxi's movements, a piece of snow-white lightly sways.
I really don't know where this Biluochun, who is unfamiliar with Di'an City, found this kind of clothing store.
Thinking in his heart, Xu Yuan shook his head and pointed to the house:
"It's snowing outside and it's cold. Let's talk inside."
Bai Muxi immediately turned sideways after hearing this, wanting Xu Yuan to go in first, but Xu Yuan waved his hand. Seeing this, Xiaobai also turned around and turned lightly towards the house.
The hem of the white silk dress was split, and the white skin on the thigh was looming while walking. The slender jade legs were wrapped in a pair of white silk stockings that were above the knee. The marks of being hit just right, and the flesh color of the calf below was faintly revealed in the gaps between the patterns of the stockings.
White.
This pure snow-like color suddenly reminded Xu Yuan of a woman who also liked to wear plain clothes, and the silk stockings that the other party left for him in Jingjiang Mansion Su Meimo.
As soon as he sat down in the room, the inscription lamp in the room went out, and the moonless night instantly made the room dark.
Losing sight, the faint fragrance of the woman in the room immediately filled his nose.
Before he could speak, the next moment, Xu Yuan felt a pair of lotus arms gently wrapped around his neck from behind, and the delicate body was soft and gently pressed against his back, and the breath of orchid gently raised a burst of goose bumps in his ears.
Wow.
Good.
Xu Yuan raised his hand and grabbed the woman's slender wrist that seemed to be boneless, and suddenly turned his body sideways and pulled forward. The delicate body behind him fell into his arms after a scream.
Snap.
With a snap of fingers, the lights came on.
Bai Muxi's eyes were watery, her face was flushed, and her arms seemed to subconsciously block her chest, causing a burst of pressure.
"."
"."
"Knock knock knock"
"Mr. Bai, your courtyard door is not closed. Can I come in? I want to ask you something?"
"." Xu Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank.
"." Bai Muxi clenched his fists instantly.
A familiar voice sounded outside the door. After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan suddenly jumped up from Bai Muxi, who was already showing her spring light, stared at the door for a moment, and a thought flashed through his mind.
Damn it.
No, it's not over yet.
Ran Qingmo would not use his mind to explore other people's rooms at will.
As his mind raced, he glared at Xiaobai, who was still lying motionless, and Xu Yuan put on his brocade robe in an orderly manner, and then chose to speak actively:
"Didn't you go to rest? Why are you looking for Bai Muxi so late?"
