The villain sniffed, hugged the young man's wrist, and spoke in a soft voice.
"Jiu'er, stop crying, brother Jingyi, please stop using your hands."
Jing Yi saw that the villain stopped crying, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"good."
Su Jiu pulled off another piece of cloth from Jing Yi's body and bandaged both of his hands again. She looked regretfully at the passage in front of her and gave up the idea of searching for treasure.
Although there is light in the passage, no one can guarantee whether the illusion like just now will appear again.
Jing Yi carried the little man back the way he came, left the passage, picked up some withered branches by the light, and lit a small fire.
Su Jiu lay obediently in Jing Yi's arms, her little arms hugging the boy's waist tightly.
I had just slept in the fantasy world. I didn't feel sleepy at this time. Instead, I was very energetic. My almond-shaped eyes were staring straight at the flames.
"Brother Jingyi, I miss my father and mother."
After watching for a while, Su Jiu suddenly said with a muffled voice, "There are also brothers and sisters."
Jing Yi didn't say anything, but touched the villain's little head soothingly.
Su Jiu was just depressed for a moment, and then recovered immediately. Dad and the others would definitely come to find her.
Thinking about it, the villain raised his head and looked at Jing Yi. From his angle, he could only see the young man's smooth chin.
"Brother Jingyi."
The young man lowered his head and met a pair of bright apricot eyes. At this moment, their eyes met. He saw the dancing firelight in the villain's eyes, the vines hanging down from his head, and...himself.
"Yeah." Jing Yi heard his own ethereal voice.
"Brother Jingyi, where is your family? Jiu'er hasn't heard from you about your father and mother. Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
The villain blinked his apricot eyes and asked curiously.
Jing Yi came back to his senses, a trace of confusion flashed in his dark eyes.
family……
"Yes..."
Jing Yi lowered his head and looked at the villain again, "I don't remember."
"Forget it if you don't remember."
Su Jiu keenly felt the sadness that flashed through the young man's eyes at that moment, and hugged the young man's waist again, burying her little head in his arms.
"Brother Jingyi, Jiu'er will be your family from now on. Well, my father is your father, and Jiu'er's mother is also your mother.
Well! We are a family that loves each other!"
Although something doesn't feel right...
Jing Yi lowered his eyes, looked at the little man in his arms, and subconsciously hugged the little man, "Okay."
**
Imperial Prefecture.
Outside the Star Reaching Tower.
"Is there anything unusual happening in the Star Reaching Tower again? But the Great Imperial Master is about to leave seclusion? Should I report it to the Little Imperial Master?"
The guard guarding outside asked.
The servant looked at it and shook his head, "There were strange movements in the Star Reaching Tower more than ten days ago. The junior national master said that this was a normal phenomenon and told us not to pay attention to it. The senior national master will not be leaving in the near future."
"But today's strange movement seems to be different from usual. Do you really need to report it to the young master?" The guard asked again worriedly. After all, his duty is to guard the Star Reaching Tower. If there is any strange phenomenon but he does not report it,
That is a serious crime that requires beheading.
"Something happened during the Flower Goddess Festival today. The whereabouts of the Ninth Princess are unknown. The Junior Imperial Master is busy. If there is no special movement, it is better not to disturb the Junior Imperial Master."
The servant hesitated for a moment and said.
The guard heard this and thought for a while, "What you said makes sense."
"Okay, then you can continue to watch. I also heard a noise suddenly, and I was worried and went out to take a look. I guess it's nothing serious."
The servant yawned, tightened his clothes and said.
"Okay, then you should go back quickly. I don't know when I will find the Ninth Princess."
"It's difficult! I heard that even the military camp was alarmed. I wonder if the king's thunderous wrath will affect us."
"Probably not, it has nothing to do with us."
"Oh! I hope so."

"Jiu'er, Jiu'er..."
Su Jiu opened her eyes drowsily and met a pair of dark eyes with hazy almond-shaped eyes. She mumbled a few words with her small lips and turned over in the boy's arms.
"Brother Jingyi, what's wrong? Jiu'er is so sleepy and wants to continue sleeping!"
Jing Yi looked at the villain's appearance and gently tapped the tip of her pink nose with his fingertips.
"The sun is coming out."
sun?
The tips of Su Jiu's ears twitched, and she opened her eyes again, subconsciously looking over the boy's shoulders and looking out of the cave.
The fire burned all night and had long since burned out.
At this time, outside the cave, above the billowing clouds and mist, a round orange-red edge was exposed.
Su Jiu woke up immediately and sat up from the boy's arms like a carp.
The boy changed his position so that the villain could see the sunrise better.
The calls of unknown birds came from the clouds and mist, which was very pleasant to the ear.
The beam of light shot out from the clouds bit by bit, and the sun hidden under the clouds seemed to suddenly jump out, revealing a round arc.
Su Jiu was stunned for a moment, her mouth opened in surprise.
The golden light suddenly covered the entire cloud layer, coating everything above the cloud layer with a layer of gold.
Just when the villain was stunned, Jing Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the villain.
The villain's eyes were wide-eyed at this moment. His hair was a little messy due to sleeping. A few hairs stood up and fluttered in the wind. Under the fine golden sunlight, the down on the villain's cheeks could be vaguely seen, and his skin was snow-white.
Maybe it was because she had just woken up, her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked very cute.
As if being bewitched, Jing Yi subconsciously raised his hand to pinch the villain's face, but as if he suddenly sensed something, he put his hand down and raised his eyes to look somewhere outside the cave.
"Does it look good?"
There was a low, hoarse voice that seemed to have a bit of gritted teeth.
The villain nodded subconsciously, "It looks good!"
Super pretty!
It looked like she was a little hungry and wanted to eat eggs!
After nodding, the villain suddenly reacted.
This... is not the voice of Brother Jingyi!
The little head turned, looked stiffly at the source of the sound, and met a pair of beautiful fox eyes that were filled with chills.
Su Jiu's apricot eyes widened in surprise, and she immediately stood up from Jing Yi's arms and threw herself into the arms of the stranger.
"Fifth brother! You finally came to Liao! I miss you Liao to death!"
Su Lixun lowered his eyes, met the villain's excited eyes, and hummed in his heart.
Miss him?
He saw that she was eating well, sleeping well, and was very excited when watching the sunrise, but there was no trace of missing him at all, and she felt very at ease in someone's arms.
Although he was thinking in his mind, his body bent down and hugged the villain very honestly, and then slowly looked at the extremely embarrassed young man, his beautiful fox eyes narrowed slightly, with a bit of hostility.
