Outside of Time

Xu Qing's words were the most exciting voice for Xu Xiaohui in the past few months. She did not lie, and everything she said to Xu Qing was true.

What she didn't say was the heartbreak and pain she had put into investigating in order to repay her kindness in the past few months. She now has no sense of belonging to the Seven Blood Boys sect.

But she didn't hate anyone, she just didn't understand how such a good person like Senior Brother Zhou could suddenly die tragically. She just wanted to do her best to repay the other person's kindness.

Occasionally, she would wonder if it was worth it to investigate so hard... But Xu Xiaohui felt that if she gave up, then maybe what she gave up would be the last ray of warmth in her heart.

This warmth was the most precious thing to her after coming to Seven Blood Children, so she didn't want to give it up.

So even though Xu Qing used his strength to lift her up, she still chose to kneel down after the strength dissipated. It seems that for a fragile person, kneeling down for others is also a kind of peace of mind.

Xu Qing also felt sad in his heart.

At this moment, he took out the sound transmission jade slip, found a person, and heard a calm voice.

"Come see me."

Not long after, a thin figure appeared in the night

, speeding from the alley in the distance, running as fast as possible, straight to Xu Qing.

Xu Xiaohui noticed something, turned around and narrowed her eyes.

She saw that the person coming was a child, wearing a dog-skin coat under a gray Taoist robe. He looked bulging, but the coldness in his eyes and the evil aura emanating from his body were enough to make many people who saw him tremble.

Xu Xiaohui took a breath. She had heard of this man who liked to wear leather jackets under Taoist robes.

She knew that the other party was a mute, and he had become quite famous in the past six months. He was a rising figure in the Murder Department after Xu Qing, and he especially enjoyed killing people.

There were many wanted criminals who were tortured and killed by him, and this person seemed to be only at the seventh level of Qi Condensation, but in fact, some ninth-level Qi Condensation people from some small sects also died tragically in his hands, because this mute was more desperate than those desperadoes. .

It seems that life is nothing to him. Once he is determined to be an enemy, he will die or I will die.

So after seeing the mute arriving, Xu Xiaohui was instinctively afraid.

Until the next moment, the mute approached the place. Without even looking at Xu Xiaohui, he knelt down directly towards Xu Qing. The enthusiasm and joy on his face were very obvious.

"Go and find out the cause of Zhou Qingpeng's death. As for the details, you can use the sound transmission jade slip to ask her." Xu Qing pointed at Xu Xiaohui.

The mute nodded vigorously, turned around and left, without asking Xu Xiaohui any questions at all.

It seems that in his opinion, if he does it himself after asking others, he will show his incompetence.

Xu Qing glanced at the mute's back, said nothing, and stood there waiting silently.

At this moment, dusk passes, and the sunset in the distance is stained by ink and becomes pitch black. The thin moonlight makes it difficult to reproduce it, and gradually night comes.

The berth where Xu Qing is located is a special choice for him. No matter whether it is day or night, it is very quiet and no one disturbs him.

At the same time, the mute did not let Xu Qing wait long. The whole process only took two sticks of incense. The mute returned, knelt down and respectfully handed Xu Qing a jade slip.

Xu Xiaohui has been investigating for several months and has been unable to find the answer at great cost. For the mute, only two sticks of incense are needed. Of course, this is also related to the murder department.

At this moment, in Xu Xiaohui's excitement, Xu Qing took the jade slip and checked it.

The cause and effect of Zhou Qingpeng's death were investigated in great detail. Xu Qing was not interested in these, he just glanced at them and looked at the murderer's information.

The murderer is not a Seventh Peak disciple.

This person's name is Li Zelin, and he is a disciple of the First Peak. He is at the ninth level of Qi Condensation. He is usually gloomy and extremely murderous.

The mute's jade slip indicated that the deaths of at least eleven other disciples at the peak were directly related to this person.

It's just that this person is cautious, he kills and plunders across regions, and the targets he chooses are often very precise, so he doesn't cause irresolvable trouble.

After all, this kind of thing often happens in the secrets of Seven Blood Boys. As long as it is not done out of line, and as long as there is no strong person to pursue it, then in Seven Blood Boys, various departments will not take care of it.

For example, in Zhou Qingpeng's case, if there was no human relationship between him and Xu Qing, then he would be dead this time.

The mute's investigation was very detailed. In addition to these, he even found out the current location of Li Zelin and his recent connections.

"Wu Jianwu was accepted as a follower by the First Peak Wu Jianwu. At this moment, Wu Jianwu went to Zhimeng Tower upon invitation. With whom he made an appointment, we can't find out through investigation, but Li Zelin is guarding him outside Zhimeng Tower."

Xu Qing nodded and handed the jade slip to Xu Xiaohui, who was very nervous.

After Xu Xiaohui quickly took it and examined it carefully, her breathing was obviously rapid, especially when she looked a little pale at the end and looked up at Xu Qing with a bitter and hesitant look on her face.

"Uncle Xu, this matter..."

The contents of the jade slip not only let her know the murderer, but also the murderer's background. She was not sure whether Xu Qing would continue to help.

"Let's go." Xu Qing looked as usual. After speaking calmly, he walked forward, with the mute leading the way. Xu Xiaohui was stunned, looked at Xu Qing's back, took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and followed.

Zhimenglou is a restaurant.

It can be regarded as one of the most prestigious restaurants in the entire port area. It is very large and has many people coming and going on weekdays. Compared with the restaurants in the Ministry of Coastal Defense, Zhimeng Restaurant is obviously of a higher level.

In particular, it mainly contains spiritual food. Eating more on a daily basis can not only strengthen the physical body, but also have the effect of dissipating foreign diseases. Although it is very slight, if it is like this for a long time, the effect is still OK.

At this moment, in a very luxurious private room on the second floor of Zhimeng Building, three people were sitting there.

If Xu Qing were here, he would find that he knew all three of them.

One is Wu Jianwu from the First Peak. Sitting opposite Wu Jianwu is the pale-faced captain. At this moment, the captain is no longer invisible, and there is no lack of anything in his body, at least from a wide perspective.

The injuries have also healed.

The last one was a sighing old man. This old man was the innkeeper on Banquan Road.

In fact, to be precise, there are not just three people here, but also a snake.

The snake was very big. It was wrapped around the beam of the private room and half of it was hanging down. It was dangling there by itself, as if it was playing with itself out of boredom.

Occasionally, he would stick out his tongue at the captain, or make a grunting sound, as if he was asking something.

The captain looked up at the big snake with a smile.

"Ling'er, are you missing someone?" "Gulu, gulu!"

"In this case, how about you give me ten bottles of the heterogeneous mist you collected last time, and I'll help you call out that kid and let him stay with you for a day. It's fair and reasonable."

The captain spoke with a harmless look.

The big snake's eyes suddenly lit up, and the old man at the inn beside him quickly stopped him.

"Chen Erniu, you have gone too far, you just lied to me, why are you even lying to children now!!

Wu Jianwu, who was sitting on the side, glanced at the captain coldly, picked up the wine bottle, put it in his mouth and took a big sip, and spoke indifferently.

"Right and wrong are fair, and people are greedy. They will be killed one day. The captain blinked, took out an apple from his arms, took a slow bite, and looked at Wu Jianwu with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"Xiao Jianjian, although you just came out of seclusion today and don't know what big things are happening outside, and you don't know how powerful I am now, I still want to tell you that if I were the master uncle, I would definitely beat you up for talking. Words." Wu Jianwu raised his eyebrows.

"You wink and look at me inexplicably, you are a heroic man who is thundering and cracking from the sky!"

"You don't have to hold me up when talking. I promised my uncle that I won't beat his disciples. Don't worry, I won't beat you." The captain said with a smile.

The old man at the inn nearby patted his forehead when he heard this, and looked helplessly at the captain and Wu Jianwu.

"Okay, okay, I'll invite you here today. I have three things to say. I'll finish them quickly and then leave quickly. I'll be annoyed when I see you..." the old man in the inn sighed.

"First, Wu Jianwu, the time for the promise your master owes me is almost up, but I can't be at the Seven Blood Boy recently, so I will strengthen the seal of the inn before I leave. You tell your master to send someone to take over as soon as possible. Otherwise, if something happens, it has nothing to do with me.”

"Second, Chen Erniu, I can strengthen your seal three times. After three times, I can't do it anymore, so you have to find other ways to suppress it as soon as possible. The stronger the divinity, the better, otherwise... it If you live, you may not be you anymore." The old man looked at the captain with deep meaning.

The captain's expression was as usual, still smiling, as if he didn't care.

But if Xu Qing were here, based on his familiarity with the captain, he would see that after hearing the old man's words, the captain turned the apple in his hand and did not eat it.

"The third thing is what I said before. I have to leave for a while. Ling'er is going to build a foundation. She is quite special. I want to take her to the ancestral land. I'm afraid it will take a few years before she can come back."

"Gulu gulu!" The big snake stopped shaking and spoke anxiously to the old man. The old man glared.

"You are still thinking about that boy named Xu. Are you not afraid that he will eat you?"

"Gulu!!" The big snake glared without flinching.

Seeing the big snake like this, the old man sighed, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to get more wrinkled.

"I think Xu Qing is pretty good, and he matches Ling'er very well." The captain coughed and showed encouragement towards Ling'er.

Ling'er was immediately happy, swaying around quickly, and even spit out a vial filled with heterogeneous mist and gave it to the talking captain.

The captain took it and put it in his arms, with a smile on his face.

"It's a perfect match, and I think Xu Qing can actually be our Ling'er's male favorite.

"Gulu?" Ling'er was curious and seemed to be asking what a male favorite was.

Just as the captain was about to explain, Wu Jianwu on the side heard them mention the name Xu Qing. His eyes were fixed, and his body suddenly straightened up from lazily leaning on it before, and his expression became even more solemn.

"Who is the true image in the world? Have you ever looked back to be the same person?"

The captain and the old man looked at each other. "Can't understand."

"I do not understand you."

Seeing this, Wu Jianwu became anxious and breathed quickly. Seeing this, Wu Jianwu became anxious, breathed quickly, and gritted his teeth.

"The Xu Qing you are talking about is the Xu Qing who was just promoted to Foundation Establishment in Seventh Peak some time ago? The one who looks very demonic? Are they the same person?" Wu Jianwu spoke quickly.

"Yes, Xu Qing is my deputy director. Do you know him?" The captain's expression was half-smiling again.

"I haven't known each other for ages, God..." Wu Jianwu snorted and was about to speak when the captain said something faintly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know him. He's back too. I'll ask him to come over and meet you, or I'll take you to find him and get to know him."

Wu Jianwu's eyes widened, he took a deep breath and stood up.

"How can I go there if I have a great elixir at home? We will meet again someday if we are destined."

After saying that, he turned around to leave, but the moment he turned around, an astonishing pressure suddenly erupted from the street outside the private room.

This sudden fluctuation caused Wu Jianwu's expression to change, while Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she opened the window and looked outside.

Captain: "I was dragged out by Xiao Mengxin to beg him for a monthly ticket... Just give it to me if you can. I'll withdraw first. Kill me if you can." Ancestor of the Vajra Sect: "Dear beauties, all of you are senior readers. , Jianghu is in urgent need, please vote for me. I haven’t been out for a long time. I’m worried that if this continues, I won’t die in the hands of Xu Qing, but in the hands of the eard demon... I don’t want to die, I I want to accompany you till eternity."

Shadow: ".·····Monthly ticket·····Afraid..." Ling'er: "Gulu, gulu!"
