Painting of the Nine Immortals Chapter 173: Inquiry

"Don't cry, I'm unlucky when I meet you, won't I help you?"

A gentle voice with a little helplessness suddenly sounded, like a spring breeze, warming people's hearts. "I more and more complete"

Warm Bai Xiaoqi's heart.

The girl Huo Di raised her head and saw a familiar man. In an instant, she burst into tears and smiled, only feeling that her heart was wrapped in warmth, which was more secure than ever.

"You."

Looking at the girl with a snot and tears in front of him, Ling Xian showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. Although there was still some reluctance in his heart, he didn't regret it at this moment.

It's worth making this cute girl smile.

"Oh."

Feeling the gentleness in that smile, Bai Xiaoqi’s pretty face turned slightly flushed, and suddenly remembered that she had just cried, she hurriedly wiped her cheeks with her sleeves, as if she didn’t want Ling Xian to see her crying. Look like.

"Let me come."

Ling Xian smiled gently, wiped away the tears on Bai Xiaoqi's face with his sleeves, and then slowly stretched out a hand.

The slender and white hand was passed to the girl.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoqi felt that her world was clearing up. Those words and this hand seemed to have infinite magic power, giving her light and hope.

Putting the slender jade hand in Lingxian's palm, Bai Xiaoqi stood up with his strength, and smiled: "Why are you back again? Are you unwilling to help me?"

"It was really unwilling at the beginning, no one would take the initiative to get into a big trouble." Ling Xian smiled faintly, and stretched out his hand to scrape Bai Xiaoqi's nose, and said: "But, you all cried into tears People, I won’t come back, don’t I look hard-hearted anymore?"

Feeling Ling Xian's fingers hanging on his nose, Bai Xiaoqi's face was reddened, and he patted his hand away, humming and chirping: "You are a heart of stone, I have been crying for so long, you I just came back, hum, bastard."

A hint of playfulness flashed in Ling Xian's eyes, and he smiled and said: "Bai Xiaoqi, if you scold me again, I can go."

"Hmph." Bai Xiaoqi pursed his mouth and muttered: "Go, go, I will cry if you dare to go."

"Okay, I won't go, stay and help you do it." Ling Xian smiled and shook his head.

"It's pretty much the same." Bai Xiaoqi's mouth curled up slightly, only feeling extremely warm in his heart.

"Okay, first find a place to live temporarily, and then you can tell me the matter clearly." Ling Xian smiled faintly, then turned and walked forward.

Bai Xiaoqi nodded obediently, and then moved lightly, following Ling Xian like a small attendant. The well-behaved look of "i is more and more complete", as if she will follow wherever she goes.

"Haha, it's okay, it's just a quarrel between the Taoists, don't watch it."

"Yes, the young couple are just talking, the big ones are all gone."

"Young man, this girl was so sad that she was crying just now. You can't make her cry anymore."

People watching around let out a good laugh, and then left one after another.

Listening to the words ringing in his ear, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Ling Xian's face, and he hurriedly speeded up his steps, intending to leave the place as soon as possible.

Bai Xiaoqi's face blushed slightly. Seeing Ling Xian quickened her pace, she pursed her lips and smirked, Lian Bu was also a little faster.

In this way, the two walked on the street for a while, and then walked into an antique restaurant.

"Let's go, go up to the second floor."

Ling Xian smiled slightly and led Bai Xiaoqi to the second floor. He immediately ordered a few small dishes and sat down near the window.

"Xianling, what are we doing here?" Bai Xiaoqi frowned, not understanding Lingxian's intentions.

The corner of Ling Xian's mouth raised, and he smiled: "You don't understand this. The restaurant is a good place. You don't need to say anything, you can hear recent events."

"You mean, you can hear news about my Bai family here?" Bai Xiaoqi's beautiful eyes lit up.

"I can't guarantee this, please wait with peace of mind." Ling Xian smiled faintly.

After hearing this, Bai Xiaoqi pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the conversations of the people around her, hoping to hear news about the Bai family.

But until the few small dishes were on the table, she didn't hear a word about the Bai family, and couldn't help but annoyed: "Xianling, didn't you say that you can hear it here? It's already half past. It's time."

"What's the hurry?"

Ling Xian didn't lift his head, and while enjoying the delicious side dishes, he said: "Although I haven't heard about the Bai family, but don't you hear a lot of other news?"

"But those are of no use, and it has nothing to do with me." Bai Xiaoqi pursed her small mouth, accompanied by that pure and delicate little face, not to mention how cute it is.

Unfortunately, Ling Xian still didn't look up, as if the side dish in front of him was more attractive than Bai Xiaoqi.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaoqi stomped his feet with anger, and said, "Xianling, did you hear what I said."

"I heard it, it may not be useful to you, but it is of great use to me." Ling Xian smiled faintly. Although he focused on the dishes in front of him, the conversations of the people around him could be heard clearly.

Although he didn't hear a few words about the Bai family, he already knew the power of Shang Dao.

On this island, there are a total of five transcendent forces, and they are called the five great families. They are the Bai family dominating in the east, the Yan family dominating in the south, the Nangong family dominating in the west, the Ouyang family dominating in the north, and the Chu family dominating the center.

The five big families are powerful and have profound backgrounds. They divide the business island into five equal parts and have ruled for thousands of years. No power can ever want to share a piece of the pie here.

However, in the conversation with the surrounding guests, Ling Xian got an important message.

That is, even though the five big families are very friendly, when they encounter foreign enemies, they are also unanimous to the outside world. But behind the scenes, there are many discrepancies, and they often fight each other for resource sites and so on.

This message made Ling Xian frown, and secretly wondered if the other big families were in trouble against the Bai family.

"Bai Xiaoqi, do you think it is possible that several other big families made the shot?" Ling Xian lightly took a sip of the wine.

Bai Xiaoqi shook his head without even thinking about it, and denied: "It's impossible. Although the five big families are secretly at odds, but due to the long-ago covenant, the others dare not make a big shot at me."

"Ancient Covenant?"

Ling Xian secretly remembered this word in his heart, and smiled: "Since you are so sure, then continue listening."

Speaking, he lowered his head and continued to enjoy the delicious side dishes.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaoqi bit her silver teeth and said angrily: "Listen to what, you lie to me, there is no information at all."

However, as soon as her voice fell, several people's conversations came from the far east. Although they deliberately lowered their voices, Bai Xiaoqi was a monk during the foundation construction period, and he could still hear it clearly.

As for Lingxian, not to mention, he had already put his spirits on those people.

"Have you heard? Something happened to the Dongfang Bai family!"

"Hush, keep your voice down, it's not good for people to hear."

"Well, it's unbelievable to say that it is a family that has dominated the business island for thousands of years. How could it be possible to change hands so quickly?"

"I heard that it was the mysterious sect who acted to help the second master of the Bai family and usurped the seat of the head of the Bai family."

"I heard that too, but I still can't figure it out. The Bai family leader is shrewd, and the city is extremely deep. Even with the help of that mysterious sect, it is impossible to be usurped by the second master of the Bai family. What's more, will the other four major families sit idly by?"

"Well, you don’t understand this. Although the five big families are on the surface, they want to annex each other secretly. To those four families, who is the head of the Bai family is different? They are eager to fight within the Bai family. My vitality is badly hurt."

Hearing this, things have gradually become clear.

Bai Xiaoqi's silver teeth clenched tightly, and if Ling Xian hadn't used her aura to suppress her, she would probably have smashed something.

"It turned out to be my second uncle! This bastard!"

Bai Xiaoqi's face was full of anger, and he never expected that it was his second uncle who tried to usurp the throne and subverted the Bai family.

"Calm down." Ling Xian furrowed his brows and spoke through his soul: "At the very least, the Bai family has not been destroyed, and your relatives may still be alive."

Suddenly, Bai Xiaoqi's beautiful eyes burst out, suppressing the anger in her heart, and whispered: "My father and mother, is it really possible to be alive?"

"I can't guarantee this."

Ling Xian shook his head lightly and said: "But you think, now that the seat of the head of the Bai family has been taken away by your second uncle, his goal has been achieved. Therefore, he is likely to take care of brotherhood and Did not kill your dad."

However, he said this sentence with no confidence, because the possibility is quite small, and he said so only to stabilize Bai Xiaoqi.

"Then let's hurry back to Bai's house and save my parents." Bai Xiaoqi said eagerly, her pretty face full of worries.

Back to Bai's house?

Ling Xian smiled helplessly, and said: "My eldest lady, you too value me too much. Don't you know what the strength of your Bai family is? Even if I have experienced internal fighting, I can't be a cultivator in the alchemy period. And retreat, let alone save people."

There is nothing wrong with this sentence. Although he is now tough, the Bai family is a behemoth. Even if you look at the Thirty-Six Islands, it can be considered a top power!

At least, there must be more than a dozen alchemy cultivators, and maybe there are old monsters of Yuanying stage hidden. In this way, how could Ling Xian be an opponent?

"This..."

Bai Xiaoqi thought of the family's strong men in the pill-forming period~IndoMTL.com~, her heart gradually became cold, and she smiled sadly: "What should I do then? Is there really no way I can save my parents?"

"Sigh..."

Ling Xian sighed and comforted: "Take one step and count as one step. Don't worry, I will stay with you no matter what."

"Xianling, thank you." Bai Xiaoqi had tears in her eyes, watching the handsome young man in front of her, only feeling that her heart was gradually calming down, as if she had a great support.

"Don't say thank you, I hope things are easier than I thought." Ling Xian sighed softly, then dropped hundreds of spiritual stones, and said: "Let’s go, find a place to live. , Investigate the situation carefully, and then decide what to do."

After speaking, he got up and walked downstairs.

Bai Xiaoqi wiped away the tears, followed closely behind Ling Xian, preparing to find a place to live first.
