    Xie Ren’s eyes widened suddenly.

    He looked incredulous, and Miroku said, “What’s wrong?”

    Xie Ren where to say words, was deceived, was fooled by the shame, sadness mixed with hot blood rushed to the brain, a palm slap on the desktop, word for word gritted teeth: “…… original, to, is, you!”

    The desktop simply can not withstand his shot, split in pieces on the spot, fortunately, the second floor of the restaurant in addition to them and no one else, or else it will be scared scared four. Xie Ren has no weapon in his hand, another palm strike. Sanlang is still sitting on the chair, only slightly side head.

    The palm struck into the wall behind him, and rubble fell down, but he didn’t move, holding his arm, raising his eyes lightly, saying, “Taoist priest, what is the meaning of this?”

    Xie Ren face burned badly, I do not know what kind of red face at this moment, the other hand bone joints clicked, sank angry: “You …… do not want to pretend again. What you did to me …… you know very well.”

    Sanlang’s eyes lifted a few more points, saying, “Unfortunately, I’m not quite sure what I did to the Taoist Master to make you so angry? Can you enlighten me?”

    “……”

    The man actually asked him to say it himself with an innocent look on his face… what was he supposed to say? In broad daylight, to say that kind of thing? Xie Ren who has seen this kind of person, angry from the shoulders to the tip of the heart are trembling, but the face is getting red, incoherent scolded: “Shut up! You this …… me, want to beat you to death this shameless …… nasty …… despicable …… you! ……”

    Sanlang sighed and said, “Daoist, I didn’t expect that my heartfelt intentions would be met with such a response from you. Where exactly am I shameless and nasty and despicable?”

    Xie Ren easily found a bit of composure and said, “Don’t want to lie to me again! The red thread on your hand has already proved that you are the …… that ……”

    “Oh?” Miroku, however, didn’t panic and held up his own hand, saying, “You mean this? What’s wrong with this red thread?”

    Xie Ren saw that red line then as if stabbed, said, “I saw it. At that time, you …… had this red line on your hand ……”

    Miroku said, “Which time?”

    “……”

    For a moment, Xie Ren really wanted to beat him to death.

    Knowingly, it’s egregious!

    But for some reason, even if he was furious in his heart, he couldn’t move his hands. And it wasn’t because he was restrained that he couldn’t move, it was because his own body wouldn’t let him move!

    At this moment, a few people ran up the stairs and said, “What are you two guests doing? How can you vandalize the place?”

    Xie Ren turned back and said, “It’s dangerous here! You guys first …… “Who knows, this look, he froze again.

    Those few people actually had a red thread tied around their hands!

    Xie Ren said offhandedly, “What’s with the red thread on your hands?”

    A person: “Red line? Red line is not just red line, what is so rare, not what is going on ga …… uh not what is going on ah.”

    Xie Ren was confused. Could it be that tying a red thread on the hand was a very common dress-up trend in this place?

    He turned back, and as if he could see through what he was thinking, Sanlang said, “The Taoist Master guessed correctly, tying the red thread on the finger is the custom of this place. If you don’t believe me, please look at the crowd below.”

    Xie Ren looked down the restaurant, and sure enough, in the endless stream of people, there are a number of hands are tied with a red line, some also tied several. He said, “What custom is this?”

    Miroku smiled faintly and said, “Well, that, to put it mildly, also has something to do with that Hana Castle.”

    “Huh?”

    “Because, he and his beloved tied such a red thread on their hands. So many have followed suit, intending to seek a marriage, or to show love.”

    Xie Ren was stunned to hear, said, “So …… that flower city, or a rather remarkable character? There are actually so many people who are keen to emulate ……”

    Sanlang said, “Got it can’t be done, depends on who it’s going to be compared to. By the way, Taoist Master, something seems to have fallen on the ground, can you let me pick it up and take a look?”

    Xie Ren then reacted to the fact that he had been maintaining this attacking stance, it turned out to be another oops, his anger subsided as much as it could, and he hastily withdrew his hand, saying, “I’m sorry, sorry, Sanlang, I’m really …… really sorry, it’s because I’m impatient, and I’ve misunderstood you again … …”

    Sanlang, always calm, bent down to pick up something and said, “No harm done. Daoist, is this something you dropped?”

    What he rummaged out of the mess on the ground was a gold leaf, probably slipped out of his sleeve when Xie Ren struck just now. Xie Ren was about to speak, but he saw Sanlang raise the gold leaf to his eyes, squinted, and said, “Huh, this gold leaf looks, slightly familiar.”

    After saying that, he unhurriedly took out something from his waist. It was also a gold leaf.

    Two gold leaves that were actually identical!

    Xie Ren said offhandedly, “So this is yours?”

    Miroku said, “Well, I did drop a little something, which is why I returned to find ……”

    Hearing this, Xie Ren was afraid that he would misunderstand and busily said, “Sanlang listen to my explanation.”

    Sanlang said, “There’s no need to be nervous, I’ll naturally listen to your explanation, Daoist.”

    Xie Ren let out a sigh of relief and said, “It’s like this. This gold leaf, I picked it up on the road just now. Originally I wanted to wait for the owner to come back to return it to them, but I waited for more than an hour and no one came over to look for it. I again really ……”

    Speaking here, he was a little ashamed, lowered his head, and whispered, “So, just …… took it upon himself to borrow a little bit first, and wanted to go buy something to eat, that is, that steamed bun …… was going to be returned in multiples later, but no matter how said, in the end, it is still, don’t ask for it. Sorry.”

    Sanlang, however, smiled and said, “Why should the Taoist Master be like that? Isn’t it only human nature? Not to mention the fact that I originally intended to invite you to share a drink with me, and that one steamed bun, didn’t I end up eating it? Such a small matter, don’t take it to heart. Don’t you think it’s wonderful? Coincidentally I lost something, the person who picked him up was the Taoist Master, this is really, have the fate of a thousand miles to meet ah.”

    Xie Ren got his understanding, his heart was relieved, said: “However, Sanlang you should also be careful ah. So brightly dropped on the road, you actually did not see, next time do not be so careless ah.”

    At this time, the crowd of fellows who were shrinking at the side said, “Two guests, have you calmed down Ga? If you have calmed down, let’s calculate the money for the smashed table ga!”

    Xie Ren: “……”

    If it were in the past, it certainly wouldn’t matter how much he lost, but now, he couldn’t even afford a single steamed bun. Sanlang, however, said, “No matter. It’s all on me.”

    Just now, it was clear that he had first moved against Sanlang, but Sanlang took the initiative to help him compensate for the things he had smashed. Xie Ren was so touched by his tenderness and consideration that he couldn’t speak, the knot in his throat moved and said, “You ……”

    The guys also do not know what is going on, was smashed store also cheerfully over to help them change a more gorgeous table. The two of them sat down again, Xie Ren inevitably feel guilty and grateful, only to feel that a thousand words are difficult to express. Sanlang said with concern: ”Daoist, just now, listening to your words, it seems that there is a hidden agenda. What happened? Taoist Master, who actually did what to you?”

    “……”

    That kind of thing, Xie Ren how to say it, has just calmed down the face of the blush again, mumbling, “…… nothing, nothing.”

    Instead, Miroku said, “If you don’t mind, could you tell me a bit about it? Miroku might be able to help a few times as well.”

    Although he was kind, Xie Ren was chased by him, sitting and standing, helplessly said, “…… It s really nothing. Sanlang you, can you not ask ……”

    It’s hard to say.

    In that case, Miroku didn’t push it and said, “Alright. Where were we talking about earlier? You want to go see Hanagi, don’t you.”

    Xie Ren collected his thoughts and said with a straight face, “Hmm. Does Sanlang know the way?”

    Saburo said, “Naturally, I know. However, these days, it’s not good to see the city of flowers.”

    “Why?”

    Miroku used his chopsticks to arrange the greens on his plate into a large smiling face and said, “It is said that in recent days his beloved has been slightly ill, so he has to be his companion. Other than that none are available.”

    Xie Ren thought to himself, “Sure enough, this Flower City is still a man of nature, very sentimental, and more appreciative, saying, “So it is. Then, when do we have to wait to see him?”

    “Five days at most, three days at least. I suggest, Daoist, that there’s no need to be anxious; until then, why don’t you rest in peace.”

    Xie Ren had just thought in his mind that he didn’t have a place to stay, when he heard Sanlang say, “If the Taoist Master doesn’t have a place to stay, why don’t you come to my place for a temporary rest? Anyway, my house is big and not many people live there.”

    Xie Ren could no longer hold back and said softly, “Sanlang, you can be …… really good.”

    It was the first time he had ever complimented someone with such blunt words, and he was a bit embarrassed, but other than that, he really couldn’t find anything more flattering to his mood. As if he was very flattered, Sanlang smiled and said, “Who let me get to know you as well as you do at first sight, Daoist Master? Oh yeah, there’s another question, I forgot to ask, what’s the Taoist Master’s age this year?”

    Xie Ren said, “Seventeen.”

    Miroku said, “Ah, seventeen, that’s younger than me.”

    Indeed, he looked to be about twenty years old. Sanjuro said, seemingly casually, “Then in that case, the Taoist Master is the one who should call me brother.”

    Xie Ren is a member of the royal family, the honorable crown prince, should not be called brother and brother with others, not many people can afford it. But this Sanlang really give Xie Ren a very good feeling, he has not been to the other side to elder brother, very strange, then smiled: “So it is Sanlang brother.”

    “……”

    I don’t know if it was an illusion or not, but after he called him “brother”, Saburo’s smile on the other side of the table suddenly became a bit weird.

    It was really hard to describe, Sanlang’s gaze in that left eye seemed to suddenly burn, so hot that Xie Ren simply felt his skin burning, blinking, saying, “What’s wrong?”

    The terrifying sizzle passed in an instant, and Miroku then returned to his normal self, laughing, “Nothing, just too happy. There’s no one younger than me in my family, and I’ve never heard anyone call me that before.”

    Xie Ren said, “If Sanlang does not mind, then …… I will call you so?”

    Miroku’s eyes flickered with laughter, but his mouth still pushed back, “Oh, of course I definitely wouldn’t mind, that depends on whether or not the Taoist Master would mind.”

    Xie Ren said, “Don’t mind, of course not. Brother Sanlang, shall we return to your home now or?”

    Saburo put down his chopsticks and said, “Then, come with me now.”

    Sanlang’s residence, is an extremely spacious and gorgeous mansion, Xie Ren went in, only to feel that compared to the immortal music palace certain palaces are no better, more firmly this Sanlang is not ordinary people.

    In the evening, lying alone in bed, Xie Ren tossed and turned.

    He always felt that there was something missing next to him, and he tossed and turned. Coupled with his body’s vague discomfort, lying on his back, the pressure made his waist sore; turning over and lying on his back, he felt as if there was something pressing on his back.

    In a daze, he had many disorganized dreams. He tried to move, but was firmly pinned down, and the voice whispered in his ear again, sometimes a man, sometimes a teenager; sometimes calling him brother, brother, sometimes his highness, telling him not to be afraid, your highness.

    Tender to the core, evil to the core, but also precious to the core.

    Woke up with a jolt, clothes all wet with sweat. Xie Ren while gasping for breath, while clenching his fists, angry and powerless on the bed and hammered hard, fingers inserted | into the slightly wet hair, heart: “…… this kind of thing, when can I forget! When I catch this shameless son of a bitch I must ……”

    At that moment, he realized that a set of clothes had been placed by his pillow at some point. Although it was also white, the style was his favorite. Xie Ren was like an amnesty and rushed to the back of the house to quickly bathe.

    Removing his clothes and dipping into the water, he suddenly realized that he was wearing a thin silver chain around his neck.

    At the end of the chain was a crystal clear finger ring. I don’t know how long he’d been wearing it, but anyway, he was completely unaware of it and wondered, “Do I have a pendant like that?”

    The ring was so beautiful that he was almost mesmerized by the sight of it, but he did not lose his vigilance, and suddenly, sensing a flash of silver light to the side, he immediately shouted, “Who!”

    A blow to shoot the water, the water splashes, as if the steel beads, hit the wall crackling, and was he hit out not what people, but …… a knife?

    Xie Ren grasped the hard knife, very puzzled, suddenly, a silver line on the hilt of that knife separated, as if an eye opened, eyeballs bobbing and turning up. Xie Ren was even more startled.

    What is this weird stuff?

    The machete blade slender, if there is life, very enthusiastic to his arms. Xie Ren was surprised to let it get his hands on it, and was iced to the point of “wow”, shivering all over his body.

    But probably because he didn’t sense a murderous aura, he intuited that the scimitar wasn’t dangerous, and apart from pushing it back with difficulty, he didn’t want to do anything rougher with it, such as huffing it out of the sky with a slap or something like that. At this time, a red shadow flashed, snatched the machete, and said morosely, “So you are here ……”

    Fixed his eyes, Sanlang has stood at the bath, his hand pinched that knife, although still smiling, forehead but hidden veins floating, hand very nonchalantly snapped that knife a slap, said: “I’m not said now not allowed to come over?”

    Xie Ren said, “Sanlang, is this knife your …… magic weapon?”

    Saburo turned to him, the veins on his forehead disappeared in an instant, and he was once again in a state of calmness, saying, “It s just a thing that doesn t work, brother …… brother I made you laugh.”

    Xie Ren, however, was in awe, her eyes brightening as she grabbed the hem of his red coat and said, “No, no, no, Brother Sanlang, you’re so powerful! To actually be able to practice such a magic weapon with its own spiritual sense!”

    The knife was just slapped by Sanlang, aggrieved and wrinkled his eyes, listening to Xie Ren’s praise, his eyes turned around again, sneakily wanting to rub towards him. Sanlang very coldly another palm.

    Now it is not dry, “thud” fell to the ground, rolling around rolling around, as if the adults hit on the ground rolling and crying children. Xie Ren’s ear next to it is like you can hear it wow wow bawling sound like, see a little heartache, busy get up and said: “Wait Sanlang! Forget it, don’t hit it, I think it’s just being naughty for a moment and wants to show goodwill, there’s no need to be so harsh on it.”

    But once out of the water, which remembered their underwater body is naked, face inexplicably red again, embarrassed sink back. Miroku, however, had already turned around very naturally and went out.

    Xie Ren hurriedly climbed out of the water to change into new clothes, felt that the material of the intimate apparel is very fine, finally no longer being worn to the skin, the heart is more grateful. Out of the house, came to the meeting of the elegant hall, Sanlang already in the upper seat waiting.

    I do not know how he taught that knife, and now it is honestly in the waist of the Sanlang, do not move, but also very cold and stern, completely unimaginable that just rolling on the ground in the appearance of a scoundrel. Seeing Xie Ren arrive, Sanlang smiled and said: ”Up? Did you sleep well last night?”

    Xie Ren answered truthfully, “The first half of the night I don t know why I keep dreaming …… the second half of the night but I sleep well.”

    Miroku said, “It’s being too tired, I guess.”

    The two of them casually said a few words, made a few small cuts, and the day was almost over. Probably until that Flower City was free, they would get along like this.

    However, in the evening, Xie Ren was lying alone in bed, and again had the dream that was so dry|hot and difficult to rest.

    He was tossed around in his dream so much that he couldn’t stand it, and he woke up violently, drenched in sweat again, so angry and helpless that he had to get up and go out, wanting to walk a few laps to calm down, but suddenly he heard voices coming from the house on the other side of the far side of the room.

    That was Sanlang’s master’s room. The soundproofing of the room was very good, the sound was extremely small, but Xie Ren’s five senses were absolutely brilliant and captured it. He held his breath and came to the outside of the room without a sound.

    Through the doorway, looking in, only to see Sanlang sitting on a seat in the middle of the room, holding a tube of purple hair in his hand, seemingly writing, his expression was a very different cold and solemn from that of when he faced him, and there was a black-robed, ghost-faced man at one side, bending over and reporting in a low voice.

    I don’t know how, the existence of that ghost face person is really very low, accidentally may not notice. Xie Ren was about to listen carefully, that person has reported finished, he only vaguely heard scattered statements, “that monster mess for a long time,” “think it is to receive the prayers to go to deal with, an accident,” “this is just probed the direction of the “What’s that.

    He was slowly combing through it when he heard Miroku say, “I have to stay with him now, I can’t get away. Take down and deliver that monster to me by tomorrow night.”

    The ghost-faced man whispered, “Yes. Do you want to keep its breath?”

    Miroku set aside his pen and glanced at what he had written, seeming less than satisfied, crumpled it into a ball and threw it away before saying slowly, “Leave it with a few more mouthfuls so that it can spit the stuff out, and then slowly crush its doggy head.”

    The look and tone of his voice when he said this was chilling. But Xie Ren actually didn’t resent being on guard much. The ghost-faced man was about to leave in response, and Xie Ren immediately dodged and hid back.

    Back in her house, Xie Ren was even more unable to sleep, walking to and fro a few times, thinking, “What on earth is Sanlang? What monster is he talking about?”

    It sounded as if something important had been swallowed by a monster that had been causing trouble for a long time, and Miroku was quite angry. But because he had to stay with him at the moment, he couldn’t spare the time to smash the monster’s head.

    Thinking of this, Xie Ren felt very embarrassed. This Sanlang, treating him with the utmost sincerity.

    Suddenly, a light flashed in his head: why was he sitting around like this? Anyway, he couldn’t see Flower City for a while, and he had been wanting to do something for Sanlang, his good brother, so why not, just go and help him capture that monster?

    I’m going to go. Xie Ren made up his mind, immediately left a letter, wrote Sanlang brother do not worry, Ren go to go back to the clouds, flying leap, silently out of this gorgeous mansion.
