Five days later in the Immortal Crocodile's estate.

Liu'er laid on the bed, lost in thought. This was already the fifth day. Every time he asked his master what had happened that day, Daoist Zhen always told him that the Western Regions murderer demon Wei Feng did not kill people and only inexplicably took River City away. As for why he was taking him away, Daoist Voidgrace wasn't too sure either.

Although Eunuch Wei didn't kill anyone, two people died.

Alligator in the river and Ocean Swallowing Heavens!

That day, the crocodile in the middle of the river lost its internal energy and sat down to recuperate for a while. After Eunuch Wei and Jiang Cheng disappeared, Swallowing Heavens fought with the crocodile in the middle of the river. Afterwards, Hai Dongtian laughed maniacally and slit his throat with his sword.

Twenty years ago, he had wanted to kill himself. Perhaps, it was only because the crocodile was still alive that he had no choice but to live.

Hatred could make a person collapse, but it could also make a person strong.

The Immortal Crocodile Manor was already in a state of chaos, and no one paid any attention to the two of them.

But, where's Xiao Lan?

He had not seen her for five days. She didn't want to care about him anymore?

Maybe she was in the hall now, in mourning? Maybe he was being looked after and comforted by the Azure Dragon? Or had she already forgotten her other playmate? He was originally a little slovenly guy who stayed in her home and didn't leave. Perhaps, she was already tired of him.

Liu'er also wanted to go out and look for her, but he couldn't bear to see her in such a haggard state, and there was nothing he could do about it. He was very frustrated and wanted to go out for a walk, but if he could see her, how would he face her?

The more Liu'er thought about it, the more annoyed she became. He had been stuck like this for four days now, and the reason why it was called four days was because he had been unconscious for one day. Eunuch Wei's strange laughter could actually knock him out for such a long time.

These few days, he was also blaming himself for being incapable. If he had some ability, he might not have made her cry.

Liu'er sat up and put on her wide Daoist robe. That day, the Daoist robe had seven or eight holes cut open by the cold wind, and then it was sewn up by his Master. The fictitious Daoist was thick, and the stitches were crooked, making the robe even more tattered.

Although the Daoist's hand was thick, the strength of his hand was not small. He couldn't pull the robe away, and he was even more annoyed. He quickly draped it over his shoulders and left the room.

It was early spring now, after the cold winter. The weather in the north did not feel the warmth of the spring sun at all. From time to time, a gust of wind would blow, causing people to tighten their necks in the cold.

Liu'er lowered her head and walked to the main hall unconsciously. He thought that Xiao Lan was most likely here. But his guess was wrong. Xiao Lan was not in the hall. There were only the Azure Dragon and White Tiger and some servants that he did not know.

When the White Tiger saw him, it suddenly stood up and shouted, "What are you doing here?" His body was tall and big. He was already extraordinary, but now that he was angry, it was as if he was a black bear standing upright. Liu'er didn't know why he was so angry, but after hearing his shout, she retreated several steps, unable to utter a single word.

The green dragon pulled at the White Tiger and walked to Liu'er's side. "This little Taoist can't be blamed. He is a boorish man, and in recent days, some things have happened within my manor. He's not too happy, and he's always like that when he sees anyone." Liu'er saw that his eyes were slightly red, and the white hair on his shoulders seemed to have grown a lot more.

Liu'er nodded at him, and the green dragon continued, "The person you're looking for is not here." As he spoke, he pointed to the south and said, "She should be in her master's courtyard. "Little girl, you're not doing very well recently. You should have come earlier."

Liu'er heard something from behind and felt her heart being grabbed by something. She thanked the green dragon and quickly headed south.

The Azure Dragon said she was not well, but what had happened to her?

Liu'er entered the southern courtyard. She couldn't find anyone, nor could she call out to them. She could only follow the path that led into the courtyard. It was currently early spring, and the ground already had some grass sprouting out of it. It was extremely comfortable to step on it. Liu'er crossed the hall and continued forward. There were rows of houses in front of her, and there was no more road.

Liu'er doesn't know which room Xiao Lan will be in, so she can only knock on the door. He thinks that if her master has already returned, Xiao Lan will definitely mention me to her. If she didn't come back, it would be a good idea for Xiao Lan to open the door for me.

He was wrong again. There was no one in these rooms. Xiao Lan was also not here.

But the Azure Dragon clearly said that she would be here.

One by one, she went to the window to listen. Maybe Xiao Lan was in a certain room and didn't want to see her. He was anxious and wanted to laugh at the same time. If someone saw him like this, they would definitely treat him as a little thief.

Liu'er quieted down. When she heard this, she thought she heard birds chirping. She thought to herself, "As expected, she's a girl. To think that she would have such leisure and elegance." He then thought, "Even if the Vermillion Bird loves birds, there's no need to raise a few in every house right?" The more he thought about it, the weirder he felt it to be. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh. "So the bird's cry isn't in the house!" Then, he calmed his heart and listened to the bird's cry.

There was a small path under the angle ridge of the main house. It turned out that there was another wall in the courtyard. There was a gap between the room and the wall, and there was a person's width. When Liu'er first came in, she only thought that Xiao Lan would be hiding in the house, so she didn't notice that there was this hidden path.

Liu'er was overjoyed as she squeezed over. Suddenly, she saw that there was a backyard at the back of the house. The small courtyard was not very large. There was only a pavilion, and beyond the pavilion was a stone mountain.

He smiled and thought to himself, "This small courtyard is not bad, but there is no door. It would be interesting if we just squeeze in." Walking forward, he saw a room with a back door, which was obviously where they usually went in and out.

Liu'er smiled again and thought, "So this place has a door. I'm just a little beggar. I don't understand the rules, so I'm sorry to bother you here." Looking around, he could see that Xiao Lan was not there. He felt a sense of loss.

Liu'er was about to turn around when she heard a few more bird cries. However, she didn't see any birds. Suspicion rose in his heart as he walked past the pavilion and into the stone mountain in front of him.

Even though it was called a stone mountain, it was only ten feet high and ten feet wide. It was wedged between the courtyard wall. There were round holes of various sizes on the mountain, about a hundred of them. Liu'er thought it was strange, but when she got closer, she saw that the round holes were the size of a fist and had some marks on them. It was obvious that someone had intentionally done it.

Her curiosity piqued, Liu'er rolled up her sleeves and peeked inside, wanting to see what was inside.

Just as his finger was a few inches deep into the hole, he suddenly felt a pain, as if something bit into his finger. He abruptly pulled it back and was shocked in his heart, "Master always said that there are many people in the martial arts world who can raise poisonous snakes and scorpions, and use them to increase their own power. This was the back of the Vermillion Bird Courtyard and it was so secluded. Was this not the place where she usually trained? This hole should have been dug by her, "as she said that, she lowered her head and saw that the thing inside the hole had bitten her finger until it bled. She was even more shocked in her heart," There really was a poisonous scorpion inside! His master had said that one could not move once one was poisoned, and the more toxic it was, the faster it would act! I have to think carefully about how to leave a message for Master. Even if someone found me, they would have to know how I died. "

Then he smiled bitterly and thought, "Since I died here, I naturally know that I was poisoned to death. "I am going to die soon, and I can't even keep a word of it. It is so useless, so useless!" The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and then he thought about how he was just a beggar, helpless and helpless. After dying, there would definitely be no one who would care about him, he roared with sorrow, "Heavens, why are you so unfair?"

His mind was still wandering when he suddenly heard someone say, "Who is it? "Who's there?"

When Liu'er heard this voice, she was both happy and sad. She was happy because he could already hear that it was Xiao Lan, but sad because he could tell that her heart was broken!
