When it was getting dark and a group of them were about to leave Bai's house and go to Mingjing Lake, where most corpses appeared, Pei Zhuoan specifically called Ning Xiang aside and asked her about her views on Bai Yun, both overtly and secretly.

"I saw that senior sister seemed to be very concerned about senior brother Bai Yun after coming down the mountain. But senior sister suddenly felt that senior brother Bai Yun was a good person?"

When Pei Zhuoan asked this question, his black and white lychee eyes were fixed on Ning Xiang's face so that he could notice any changes in her expression immediately.

Ning Xiang was a little confused: "Senior Brother Bai Yun has always been faultless, how could you ask this? Furthermore, I am concerned about him because I see that his situation at home is not good, so I thought that as his

Fellow disciple, help him a little, what's wrong?"

"Is it just like this?" Pei Zhuoan looked into Ning Xiang's eyes, fearing that he would see some emotions that shouldn't appear in them.

Fortunately, the result is good.

"Well, of course." Ning Xiang nodded, "But I feel like you look a little weird now."

It seemed that this was not the first time that this had happened. Looking back carefully, whenever she got too close to any man, Pei Zhuoan would look too nervous.

It's like.

"Really? Why don't I feel it?" Pei Zhuoan interrupted Ning Xiang's thoughts and changed the subject to talk about Mingjing Lake where she was going to go later.

"Since so many people have died here, but I haven't heard of any officers and soldiers coming to investigate, do you think, Senior Sister, that maybe the spiritual beast named Qianchen Beast didn't do this on its own?"

Generally speaking, most of the strength levels of Qianchen beasts are in the middle stage of foundation building, and very few are at the peak of foundation building. However, according to what Ning Xiang heard from Bai Yun, some of those who died were still in cultivation.

In the Jindan stage, this is indeed a bit unbelievable.

She touched her chin and went to look for Bai Yun, intending to ask about it again. She didn't notice that Pei Zhuoan, who was following her, let out a heavy sigh of relief.

The possessiveness and affection I felt when I looked at her back were now more intense than before.

All of this was noticed by Mo Yinxing, who was closely observing the movements on Ning Xiang's side, and there was a hint of gloominess between his brows.

Liu Shiqi also noticed and used the bond of master and servant to comfort Mo Yinxing: "Master, it's okay. Ning Xiang doesn't seem to have any thoughts about Pei Zhuoan. Even if he wants to covet him, he can only stay in the stage of thinking. Unlike you,

, I can formally marry her in the future and perform the ceremony of husband and wife with her."

Liu Shiqi's comforting words dispelled the low pressure surrounding Mo Yinxing. After he looked away, he thought about the fact that he had performed the conjugal ceremony with Ning Xiang in advance, and suddenly felt much better.

That's right, no matter how much others covet Ningxiang, her person, including her heart, belongs to him.

Mingjing Lake is located in the northernmost part of Qiwu Town, on Qiwu Mountain.

If you want to go up, you still need to climb 1,300 long stone steps.

When Ning Xiang climbed the stone steps, she looked at the remaining stone steps that could not be seen in front of her. She thought of the short stature of Qianchenmon, and turned around to look at it. In its reduced state, it should not be much different from Qianchenmon in size.

Ask the treasure-hunting mouse if it is allowed to climb up on foot, would it be easy for it?

The treasure-hunting mouse's eyes widened: "What do you think?! It would be very tiring even for you to climb such long stone steps, let alone a beast like me with small arms and legs."

"But when you ask this, are you thinking about how the Qianchen beast is able to go up the mountain frequently and bring people to Mingjing Lake?"

Ning Xiang nodded: "Well, even if it can release gas that makes people remember the past and make people trapped by hallucinations and the past, it still needs to use gas to lure people all the way to climb more than a thousand long steps, but with

Its size is not much different from yours, so I don’t think it can do this frequently unless..."

"Someone helped it or got the gas it produced."

Mo Yinxing interrupted and made the conclusion that Ning Xiang failed to finish.

"What Daoist Fellow Xing said is indeed reasonable, but it doesn't make sense because the Qianchen beast's gas cannot be produced unless it wants to." Bai Yun walked to Ning Xiang's side and added.

Hearing this, Pei Zhuoan told Ning Xiang what he had told him once before, that no officers or soldiers were investigating the matter.

"I feel that there is a high possibility that it has something to do with someone from the government, but whether it is or not is hard to say at the moment. I have to find someone from the government to ask."

The ladder currently climbed by the few people is not too high, less than fifty steps.

After hearing what Pei Zhuoan said, Ning Xiang stopped climbing and suggested: "Otherwise, let's divide our troops into two groups and see which two go to investigate the affairs of the government, and which two go to Mingjing Lake first to wait?

"

As soon as she said this, Pei Zhuoan and Amo almost said in unison that they wanted to join her.

After hearing this, Ning Xiang was speechless for a while, and then made a decision to let Ah Mo and Pei Zhuo'an go together. However, whether to investigate the government affairs or go to Mingjing Lake first depends on their choice.

"Senior sister, you and Brother Baiyun should stay in Mingjing Lake. As the former prince of the Dachang Dynasty, I know a little about the government. If we go there, we should be able to investigate faster than you."

What Pei Zhuoan said made sense, Ning Xiang thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then you two should be careful along the way. If you encounter any changes or things that cannot be solved on the way, remember to contact me and Senior Brother Bai Yun as soon as possible."

After dividing up the work, Ning Xiang and Bai Yun climbed for about half an hour and finally reached the mountain.

There was still quite a distance between Mingjing Lake and their location, and the fog on the mountain was thick. Looking into the depths of the forest at this time when it was almost dark would give people a creepy feeling of discomfort.

There were many trees in this place, which was not suitable for flying with a sword, so Ning Xiang asked Treasure Hunter to release Treasure Hunter No. 2. She and Bai Yun rode one each towards Mingjing Lake.

Bai Yun glanced sideways at the girl with a vigilant and serious face, remembered the help she had given him during the day, and thanked her out loud.

"No, if you really want to thank me, you should thank yourself."

Ning Xiang said, and then checked the surrounding situation uneasily. After making sure that she didn't smell any dangerous smell, she still looked very different from before. With a gentle look in her eyes, she looked like a young man who was easy to bully.

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't help but tell him about his attitude towards others at Mingyue Peak.

"I know that your temperament should be related to the influence of your family members and the atmosphere over the years, but Senior Brother Baiyun, now that you can make up your mind to get rid of your mother's control, it is not a bad idea to try to change your temperament."

"If you could focus more on yourself and not allocate so much energy on some meaningless people or things, your current cultivation level may not be worse than mine. What do you think?"

When Ning Xiang said this, her eyes flickered. It was obvious that she had other intentions when she said this.

Ning Xiang: Find a successor in advance.
