Crazy! The cold master fell in love with me, she ran away from him

Chapter 268 Discovering the Clues of the Palace

Yu Shi sighed and stood quietly by her side to protect her.

Three days later, Long Yuan stood in front of Li Nian's house for the twenty-fourth time. He reached out and knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long time.

The blue pupils froze for a moment. A little snow-white fox was sleeping in his arms. He stood on tiptoe to look inside.

"Li Nian, where have you been?" He called out softly in a childish voice.

He tried to release his spiritual sense and search the house, but found no trace of Li Nian.

"Isn't Li Nian here?" he whispered, biting his lip.

Su Yu walked over slowly, his half-tied hair fixed with a white jade hairpin, his hair flying in the wind, and he spoke softly.

"What are you doing here?"

Su Yu was tall, and Long Yuan's head was not even as high as his waist. He tilted his head and glanced at Long Yuan. "Of course I came to look for Li Nian, but she doesn't seem to be here."

Su Yu frowned slightly. The barrier of Juyun Peak was set up by him personally. The fluctuations of the barrier caused by anyone entering or leaving could be transmitted to his consciousness.

But it is clear that Li Nian did not go down the mountain.

His cold eyes were filled with chill, and just as he was about to open the door and go in, it creaked open.

"Uh...why are you all here?"

Li Nian yawned and walked out of the house with a sleepy look on his face. His eyes were watery as he looked at them puzzledly.

"I've been looking for you for the past three days, but you didn't open the door."

Long Yuan ran to Li Nian, blinked his blue eyes slightly, and tilted his head to accuse her.

"I've been sleeping for the past three days and didn't hear the knock on the door..." Li Nian pursed his lips and explained.

Su Yu clenched his hands at his sides, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Li'er, have you been resting in Zhezhi Garden these days?"

Li Nian paused for a moment. To be precise, she had been staying in the palace for the past three days, trying hard to digest the contents of the entire library. It was only now that she had finished reading it.

"Yes, Master, what are you doing here?" Li Nian nodded slightly, his expression showing no clues.

Su Yuyaqing's eyelashes concealed the emotions in his eyes, but there was no trace of Li Nian in the room just now. With his cultivation level, it was impossible for him to be wrong.

"Nothing, just came to see you." He replied calmly

Li Nian looked at him and didn't ask any further questions, so she breathed a sigh of relief. The palace was separated from the outside world. Once she entered the palace, she could not perceive the situation outside.

If it weren't for the jade stone's reminder just now, I would have been exposed if I hadn't left the palace before they entered.

The palace is Li Nian's trump card, and no one else knows about it except Jiang Yuxia.

"Li Nian, I want to eat candied fruit." Long Yuan held the little fox in his arms and puffed up his chubby face to ask for candy.

Li Nian's eyes curved, he reached out and pinched his little face, took out candied fruit from the storage ring and placed it in front of Long Yuan.

"Eat it, but don't let the little fox eat too much."

Long Yuan nodded.

Su Yu looked at Li Nian in silence and was about to say something when the jade slip on Li Nian's waist flashed, interrupting him.

Li Nian originally thought it was a message from Ye Zhanying, but when he opened it, he saw it was from Yanzhou. It only had one sentence:

"Li Nian, I have something urgent to do. Can you come to my place?"

Su Yu naturally saw it as well. He frowned slightly, and a dark current flashed in his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Nian turned around and gave Long Yuan a few instructions, then started to go down the mountain.

When she passed by Su Yu, a big hand grabbed her wrist. She turned around and looked at Su Yu in confusion, struggling to get free but failed.

"Li'er, can you not go?" The young man's lowered glass eyes reflected Li Nian's figure, and he asked in a low voice.

Li Nian was slightly stunned. After a moment of silence, a smile played on his lips. "Master, he might have something important to talk to me about. I'll go over there."

Then she struggled to break free from his hand and turned away.

Su Yu's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and the girl's leaving back hit his heart. Her expression was gloomy and cold as if wrapped in a piece of ice.

Even Long Yuan, who was a few meters away from him, felt that the atmosphere was wrong. The pressure was pressing down on his head, almost pressing him down on the table.

Li Nian flew all the way to the Sect Master Peak on her sword at a very fast speed. Yanzhou rarely sent her messages on his own initiative, so she was afraid that something big had happened.

Outside the yard, Yanzhou leaned against the door holding a sword, a layer of anxiety between his brows. He bit his lips and looked up at the sky from time to time.

Li Nian lowered the tip of his sword, walked quickly to Yanzhou's front, and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry to get me here?"

Yanzhou looked at her with a frown, his expression conflicted, as if he was stuck in a difficult decision, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.

Li Nian: “?”

She snapped her fingers helplessly and said to Yanzhou, who had come back to his senses, "What happened? Stop wasting time and tell me."

"I... I received news from home that my mother was infected by the ancient evil spirit in order to protect my father."

The young man lowered his head, but there was a look of dejection in his eyes and a serious expression on his face.

After hearing this, Li Nian was slightly startled. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "So you want me to save your mother?"

Yanzhou raised his head, his eyes were tightly locked, his shoulders were trembling slightly, his eyes were red, and he looked helpless.

"My mother is just a mortal. Unlike monks, she can't be restrained. I really don't know what to do."

Yanzhou clenched his teeth and tried hard to suppress the pain in his heart. What was the difference between him and those people in Changshan County? He hated himself from the bottom of his heart.

Li Nian looked up and saw that the boy's face was full of pain, with tears gathering in his eyes and about to fall. She was immediately startled and said helplessly

"Yanzhou, don't cry. I'll go back with you. Maybe I can save your mother."

He stared into her eyes, which were the tenderness that Li Nian would only show when facing the people next to him, and tears rolled down his face.

Li Nian's eyes suddenly tightened and she was surprised for a moment. This was the first time she saw Yanzhou cry. Then her waist tightened and she fell into someone's arms.

Yanzhou pulled her into his arms, his hands tightly clasping her back, his voice trembling slightly, "I'm sorry... I'm just like those people. You clearly don't like me..."

Li Nian was slightly startled, her cheek pressed against his chest, and she subconsciously pushed him away. After pondering for a moment, she understood what he meant.

"We are from the same school and are friends. You didn't force me. I did it willingly."

Yanzhou's arms were empty, he looked at her for a long time, lowered the loneliness in his eyes, and whispered "Thank you."

After a pause, he turned his head and looked away, "I was offended just now, I'm sorry."

Li Nian was stunned for a moment, then patted his shoulder generously and smiled calmly, "It's okay, don't take it to heart."

"It takes half a day to get to Yuchao Yujian from here. When should we set off?"

Yanzhou pursed his thin lips into a straight line. Thinking of his mother's current condition, he felt extremely worried.
