Wen Xun had never seen a man in a wheelchair before, but he thought that face looked familiar.

The exit of the courtyard was on the right, so he naturally walked to the right.

Yi Zhuobai had a worried look on his face, and asked, "My grandfather... didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Wen Xun shook his head and said, "Patriarch Yi didn't make things difficult for me, he's fine."

Yizhuobai breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, Axun, are you staying in the city today or going up the mountain?"

Wen Xun didn't know why he asked this question, so he replied truthfully: "I won't participate in this year's Xuandu championship. I plan to teach Dengxiao swordsmanship later."

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Yi Zhuobai's mouth, and it took him a long time to express his thoughts, "I have something to tell you, can you walk with me in Midnight City?"

It happened that Wen Xun also wanted to ask him what happened after he was drunk, so he agreed, "Yes, now?"

"Ah."

Before the two of them stepped out of the yard, the man in the wheelchair came to the door unknowingly.

The man was dressed in a taupe-colored robe, and his face was pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.As soon as the person approached, there was a faint smell of medicine, but it was not unpleasant.

At the same time, a woman in pink with an indifferent face entered the other garden. It was Leng Yanluo whom Wen Xun had met once at the inn.

Leng Yanluo walked to the side of the wheelchair man, lowered her head and called out, "Island owner."

So Wen Xun knew that the man in the wheelchair was the owner of Misty Island and also the head of the Leng family, Leng Xibie.

This person existed in the memory of the original owner. The original owner's biological father, Wen Feng, and Leng Xuanhu, the former head of the Leng family, were very close friends. The two families always had contacts, and this person was also a good friend of the original owner.

Unlike Wen Xun's eldest son, Leng Xibie is Leng Xuanhu's illegitimate son.Because of this status, Leng Xibie was taken away from Leng's family when she was young, and she didn't practice medicine, but joined Xuanji's sect under Yinlu Peak.

It was not until the age of 17 that his father Leng Xuanhu died of illness and he lost his legs before he was taken back to Misty Island.

Leng Xibie has an elder brother named Leng Suwen, who is extremely talented in medicine cultivation, and he also became a disciple of the God of Medicine lineage along with his father Leng Xuanhu.It's a pity that heaven is jealous of talents. Not long after Leng Xibie returned to Misty Island, his brother Leng Suwen died of careless medicine refining.

As a result, Leng Xibie, who was an illegitimate child, became the head of the Leng family.

The road ahead was blocked, and the two could only stop.

Yi Zhuobai asked politely, "Is Misty Island Master okay?"

Leng Xibie didn't answer his question, but looked at Wen Xun quietly.His eyes were cold and cold, and his body looked very sick, but he had a beautiful face.

Leng Xi didn't want to say anything, but before she could say anything, she coughed uncontrollably.

He carefully covered the blood-stained handkerchief, as if he was afraid of being seen by Wen Xun, and then asked softly, "How have you been recently?"

Wen Xun said: "Very good."

Leng Xibie nodded, coughed a few times before going to see Yi Zhuobai, "I heard that Young Master Yi went to Wen's family to propose marriage...Since Axun has already rejected the marriage of Yi's family, why should Young Master Yi bother .”

He spoke very bluntly, making Yi Zhuobai speechless for a while.

It was indeed his grandfather Yi Juexian who had gone to talk to Wen Xun just now, and the matter of marriage proposal was also mentioned in the chat.

Yi Zhuobai lost his composure, and said, "Even if Axun and I can't get married, I'm still his friend, so why bother to talk about it, please ask the owner of Misty Island to make it clear."

Leng Xi said goodbye: "Are they really just friends?"

He was clearly asking about the clothes being white, but his eyes were always on Wen Xun.

Yi Zhuobai refused to accept it and said: "What is my relationship with Axun and what is the relationship with the Misty Island Master, since the Misty Island Master is Asun's old friend..."

"I'm not his old friend. Axun knows our relationship the most." Leng Xi didn't interrupt Yi Zhuobai's words, and ignored his expression at the moment, and said to herself: "Although I have left Xuanji Gate, at least I will I also stayed in Yinlu Peak for a long time. In this way, Axun and I are from the same school. In terms of age, Axun still calls me Senior Brother."

Wen Xun thought he would say some terrible words, and he was temporarily relieved when he heard this.

This Leng Xibie temper is even more elusive than the head of the sect, so Wen Xun dared not open his mouth easily. He pondered for a while before saying: "The owner of the Yi family is very good and did not cause me any trouble. My marriage with Mr. Yi Because I want to think about it again."

Listening to him say and consider the two words, Leng Xibie's expression became colder.

As if she didn't like Wen Xun's words for Yi Zhuobai, Leng Xibie pushed the wheelchair and left in another direction.

The maid Leng Yanluo stayed where she was, and followed after looking at Wen Xun.

"Axun..." Yi Zhuobai hesitated to speak, "I misunderstood just now. I know that Misty Island Master and you grew up together, and your relationship must be extraordinary. It is normal for him to care about you."

"It's okay, didn't you say go out for a walk, let's go." He said it was okay, but in fact Wen Xun's whole heart was fluttering.

Before reading the original owner's memory, he simply suspected that the original owner had a relationship with Leng Xibie.But when he fully recalled the original owner's youthful past, Wen Xun fell into deep thought again.

Judging from memory alone, the original owner and Leng Xibie have known each other since childhood, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are bamboo horses.

The two entered Xuanji Gate together, went up to Yinlu Peak together, practiced swordsmanship together, and prepared Xuandu to win the championship together.

Leng Xibie was older than Wen Xun, and had earlier qualified for the championship.But in that year, because of a sudden accident, he lost his legs, and he was doomed to miss the championship in this life.

In the accident that year, Leng Xuanhu was faced with a dilemma.He had the chance to save Leng Xibie, but in the end he chose to save his old friend's son, who was Wen Xun.

For this reason, Leng Xibie hated his father so much that she didn't even go to see him before Leng Xuanhu closed her eyes.Because of his status as an illegitimate child, he felt the despair of life for the first time.

As for Wen Xun, he never seemed to have any resentment.

At this time, Wen Xun probably understood that the original owner's obsession with winning the championship in Xuandu was not just for the Wen family, nor was it just for himself.

The obsession that the original owner couldn't let go of was his guilt and debt to Leng Xibie.

Seeing the backs of Leng Xibie and his maid going away, the two of them left the yard together.

At this time, there was a sudden noise in the front yard, which became clearer as people approached.

When I stepped through the door, I saw that all the people dressed in white clothes were Xuanji's disciples.

Wen Xun first saw Peak Master Liu Lan in the crowd, and then saw his cousin Wen Ruan.

Wen Ruan also saw him, looking at him, probably surprised that he would be with Yi Zhuobai.

The owner of Liulan Peak is surnamed Lin, and his name is Lin Shougu. He is a middle-aged man, not much younger than Ya Zhenzi.His person is the same as his name, the whole person is skinny.

He was also the one who mocked behind his back when he went to the Immortal Cave yesterday.

Seeing Wen Xun, Lin Shougu immediately stepped forward excitedly, and immediately asked him where the lantern was going, "Wen Xun, where is your apprentice?"

Wen Xun didn't know their purpose of coming here, so he was a bit vigilant, "What is Uncle Lin looking for my apprentice for?"

Lin Skeleton glared angrily, "He killed my disciple, what do you think I'm looking for him for, why don't you hand him over quickly."

Seeing Wen Xun frowned, Yi Zhuobai asked, "Is there any evidence for what Peak Master Liulan said?"

Lin Shougu said: "Someone saw him appearing in Liulan Peak that night, Young Master Yi said this is evidence? That is the residence of female disciples, I would like to know why Master Deng Shao appeared there. "

Wen Xun said neither in a hurry nor in a hurry: "Disciple wants to see the testimony of Master Uncle Lin."

Lin Shougu waved Wen Ruan to come in front of him, and said: "This is the witness, as Wen Ruan is the son of the head of the Wen family, it is impossible for Wen Ruan to make false accusations on purpose."

Wen Xun looked at Wen Ruan, meeting his gaze, "Ah Ruan, did you really see Deng Xiao appearing in Liulan Peak that night?"

"I've seen it." Wen Ruan said while recalling: "I sent Senior Sister Yu Tan back that night. Later, I couldn't figure out some things, so I turned back. But thinking that it was the residence of the female disciple, I stopped. After stepping, I saw a figure. I didn't see it very clearly at the time, but I felt that the man was very short, and he didn't look like a disciple of Liu Lanfeng."

After hearing this, Wen Xun said indifferently: "Did Uncle Lin make a judgment based on his figure alone? Or maybe it wasn't that the man was short, but walked on purpose? Besides, the night of the lantern festival and the I'll stay with you, and the innkeeper's wife can testify."

At this moment, a voice came out from the crowd and said, "That night, I also met the owner of Shao Deng."

Wen Xun couldn't help being surprised when he saw that the person who spoke was his senior brother Fei Bai.Although he didn't like Ji Du, he didn't feel too disgusted with this senior Fei Bai.But what he didn't expect was that he would stand up and testify against Deng Xiao.

Lin Shougu quickly asked Fei Bai, "Tell me, where did you meet Master Deng Shao?"

Fei Bai replied truthfully, "It was at the mountain gate of Liulan Peak. It was midnight at that time. The disciple passed by Liulan Peak, and because it was too late, he almost mistook the person. Master Deng Shao said he was lost, so I pointed it out to him. direction."

"Oh? I'm a little curious. Why did you appear there in the middle of the night?"

Everyone looked for the sound, and the person who said this was not Wen Xun, but Bie Jinghua, the owner of the wandering valley.

Fei Bai said: "I'm a stupid student, I can only practice swords during the rest time of my brothers and sisters, thinking that hard work can make up for my weakness, that's why I met Master Deng so late."

Bie Jinghua glanced between Fei Bai and Wen Ruan, and walked past them to Wen Xun's side.

He didn't go to see Yi Zhuobai at all, but asked Lin Shougu instead, "Isn't it inappropriate for Peak Lord Liulan to draw the conclusion that Master Deng Shaozhuang killed someone based on only two witnesses? As far as I know It's only been three years since Lord Deng Shaozhuang joined Xuanji Sect, and he hasn't had much contact with Xuanji's five peaks, and he hasn't even met that female disciple, right?"

After seeing Bie Jinghua, Wen Ruan stared at him closely, as if her whole body was trembling slightly.

He couldn't help but said: "Senior Sister Wither Tan met Master Deng Shao once, and my brother was there at that time, in Ziye City."

Wen Xun knew that his words were true, what Wen Ruan said was the night when he and Deng Xiao first met.

He said: "After that, Deng Xiao and I went to the inn. Deng Xiao lived with me that night, it is impossible to go up to Lanfeng to commit murder."

Lin Shougu said: "Even Senior Nephew Fei Bai saw him. Could it be a lie? Nephew Wen Xun, I know Master Deng Shaozhuang is your apprentice, but this is not the reason for you to protect him. Or, All of this was ordered by him?"

Hearing this, Yi Zhuobai immediately said: "Peak Master Liulan, you can't speak without evidence. Let me ask Master Deng Shao, who is only a young man, how can he match the strength of an adult woman. As his master, Wen Xun is even more impossible. Do this kind of thing. I also know the proprietress of that inn, if you don't believe me, you can ask her."

Bie Jinghua gave Lin Shougu a sideways look, and said, "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. You can doubt Master Deng Shao, but you must not doubt Wen Xun."

Lin Shougu said that he couldn't stand these two people, and he really didn't have any evidence to show, so he had to give up for the time being.

"Okay, but I believe it's no coincidence that Master Deng Shao appeared there. If I can prove that he is the murderer, Wen Xun must hand him over, otherwise don't blame Master for being merciless."

After Lin Shougu and those Xuanji disciples left, Wen Xun thanked them both.

Bie Jinghua immediately supported his arm, "Don't thank me, I didn't say that to help him, but I didn't want to see so many people bullying you."

Yi Zhuobai stood aside, grabbed Bie Jinghua's words and said, "Don't worry, Axun, just leave this matter to me. I'll have someone thoroughly investigate this matter in a while, and I will definitely clear Master Deng's name."

Wen Xun let go of his hand inadvertently, and said: "Thank you, but since I am Deng Xiao's master, this matter has nothing to do with me. I will go to him now, sorry Mr. Yi, and we will meet again in the future. Thank you too, Guzhu, who just spoke for me."

Yi Zhuobai was slightly disappointed and said: "It's okay, there is still a chance."

Bie Jinghua smiled and said: "Whoever dares to bully Xun'er, I, Bie Jinghua, will not be the first to spare anyone. Deng Xiao is your apprentice, if he does something wrong, he will definitely implicate you. At that time, Xun'er don't think about the friendship between master and student, it should be broken when it is broken."

Wen Xun nodded hesitantly, and went straight to find Deng Xiao after talking to them.The commotion in the front yard was so loud, it was impossible for Deng Xiao not to hear it.

But what surprised Wen Xun was that the courtyard where Deng Xiao lived was so quiet that even the sound of footsteps could be heard clearly.

"Is anyone there?" Wen Xun asked softly, but continued walking without hearing an answer.

He raised his hand to knock on the door, but found that the door was ajar, and he pushed it in immediately.

Wen Xun wasn't sure if this was Lantern's room, and was about to go out when he heard someone inside the room softly calling Master.

This master's voice was not as youthful as usual, but it was very similar to Deng Xiao's voice.

"Master, don't go."

Wen Xun was startled, and turned around when he heard the words.

He first met those light golden eyes, and then he saw a man with the same eyebrows and features as Deng Xiao, who looked very much like a grown-up Deng Xiao.

Wen Xun took a deep breath, pretended to be calm and said a few words, "Lengxiao...is that you?"

The author has something to say: Deng Xiao: This is my face!
