The morning light poured into the courtyard, adding a bit of warmth to the originally desolate courtyard.

The ginkgo trees in this season have completely lost their green color, and their branches are full of golden light that is as bright as fire.

Golden leaves are flying all over the ground, interlaced with the blue bricks to form mottled patterns.

A guard with a square face stood outside the door, his eyes like a hawk, looking around cautiously.

At this moment, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and a yellow dress that looked like the yellow leaves on the ground came in. A girl with a high bun and a purple skirt stepped across the threshold, and quickly looked around with her cold eyes.

Seeing Miss Xiang'e coming, the guard quickly saluted respectfully and said: "Miss!"

The pink bride nodded slightly and immediately ordered: "Xiao Zheng is ill. I came here specially to visit you. Please step aside first."

As she spoke, without waiting for the guard to reply, a faint dark light flashed in her eyes.

The guard opened his mouth, and when he was about to answer something, his expression was startled, and then he nodded without any hesitation: "Yes!"

So, the guard bowed and strode out without any delay, leaving the courtyard.

Seeing that she was the only one left in this exclusive courtyard, the pink bride turned her wrist and immediately held the sharp dagger that had been sacrificed to the maid in her palm.

She quickly walked to the door, raised her hand and knocked.

"Bang bang bang."

There was no movement in the house, and no one seemed to be in it at all.

The pink bride was unmoved. When no one responded, she simply opened the door and walked in.

"Squeak."

The door opened, and the morning light and cold wind rushed in. However, the confusion and warmth in the room seemed to be frozen and difficult to dispel.

Facing a huanghuali one-seat landscape pavilion screen with carved orchid wood and stained teeth, there are green trees, waterfalls and clear springs, clouds cover the fog, and magnificent pavilions and pavilions are looming.

The zigzag mountain path winds deep, and a Taoist with long sleeves fluttering on the mountainside is walking slowly.

Turning around the screen, the light inside was dim. Even though there was a palace lantern for illumination and skylight shining in from outside the screen, there were still shadows.

However, having already recovered part of her cultivation, the pink bride walked directly into the room without any hindrance.

As she walked inside step by step, she called tentatively: "Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng..."

Soon, she walked around the tables and chairs and came to the tent.

They saw the snow-green ruffled gold tent hanging high, and on the exposed bed, Xiao Zheng was sitting cross-legged on the bed, putting a smooth mask that looked like it was made of iron on his face.

At this time, Pei Ling asked in a cold voice: "Xiao Xiang'e, what do you want from me?"

Sensing that the opponent's aura was also practicing Qi, the pink bride smiled coldly, and immediately without any nonsense, she loosened her fingers and drew a snow-colored arc in the air with the dagger, and immediately flew towards Pei Ling.

Pei Ling formed a knife with his fingers, pointed it at the pink bride, and slashed her gently.

brush!

A domineering and sharp bloody sword energy suddenly flew out.

clang!

The sword energy struck the dagger, making a sound of gold and iron. This dagger, which looked like a mortal object, turned out to be surprisingly tough, and there was no sign of damage in the head-on collision with the sword energy.

It's just that the pink bride's strength is obviously not as good as that of Pei Ling, who is in the same realm. Therefore, although the dagger was not damaged, it was knocked upside down in an instant.

The sword's energy remained unabated and continued to attack the pink bride.

The pink bride gently lifted her narrow sleeves, and her slender white fingers were like playing a pipa in the air, and she pressed and rubbed them a few times quickly.

The dagger that was being beaten and flew out was immediately pulled by an invisible force, turned back, and faced the sword energy again.

Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang...

After the dagger was knocked away seven or eight times in a row, Pei Ling's sword energy was completely exhausted.

The pink bride staggered back a few steps, not daring to continue her attack for a while. She had already determined the identity of the other party!

"It's really the master!"

"I wonder what clues Master has collected now?"

"I happen to have gained something now..."

The pink bride suddenly asked with a smile, as if the person who suddenly acted just now was not her at all.

Pei Ling slowly calmed down, trying to suppress the gradually worsening condition, and said in a calm voice: "The clue I have now is that the maids who appeared at night are all sacrifices that have been sacrificed."

Hearing this, the pink bride did not have any accidents. She had also received relevant memories, and she immediately knew that what Pei Ling said was correct.

Then he also said: "Masks are the weakness of those maids."

"I have now gotten rid of one of my maids."

Hearing this, Pei Ling looked calm. He already knew the information about the mask, and he knew more than the other party!

His mind was spinning rapidly, he shook his head slightly and said: "Those maids are not important. The real focus now is the next sacrifice... How much do you know about the Faceless Immortal?"

The pink bride frowned slightly and said, "I don't understand at all."

"However, we should be able to know something after the sacrifices begin."

"That's right, but I don't know what the master plans to use as a sacrifice?"

Pei Ling said briefly: "I haven't thought about it yet."

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something again and immediately said, "I am currently trying to find a way to obtain the original memory of this body."

"This is the body of Xiao Zheng, the young master of the Xiao family. He must know the ins and outs of the Faceless Immortal very well."

"If we can get Xiao Zheng's memory, it will definitely be very helpful for us to break the situation next."

"Have you also obtained Xiao Xiang'e's memory during this period of time?"

The pink bride's face remained unchanged, and she said with a smile: "As expected of the master, I found the clue so quickly."

"However, I am stupid, but I didn't think of this, and I didn't get any memory of Xiao Xiang'e."

Next, the two parties talked about some things. Pei Ling deliberately avoided the topic of masks and maids, and the pink bride seemed to be hiding something. Both parties talked about some basic things that were not difficult to find out.

After a while, seeing that nothing could be found out, the pink bride immediately said: "Master, I have other things to do. It's time to leave."

Pei Ling nodded slightly.

The pink bride turned and left immediately.

Watching her back disappear through the door, and feeling the breath of the pink bride disappear completely, Pei Ling couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly let out a heartbreaking cough.

He quickly took off his mask, but he still couldn't stop coughing. Blood stains continued to spill from the corners of his mouth and stained his front, which was shocking to look at.

After a while, Pei Ling finally calmed down and felt weak all over.

"The Pink Bride must have awakened some of Xiao Xiang'e's memories..."

"I just deliberately said that this is Xiao Zheng's body. She didn't notice any problem, which means she doesn't know that our destiny has been suppressed!"

"She is now able to recover part of her cultivation. She is taking the completely opposite path to me. She is transforming into Xiao Xiang'e!"
