Chapter 1081 Exchanging Clues.

The first rays of the morning sun poured into the courtyard, adding some warmth to the originally desolate courtyard.

The ginkgo trees in this season had completely lost their green color, and the branches were full of golden brilliance as if they were on fire.

Golden leaves flew all over the ground, intertwining with the green bricks to form a mottled pattern.

A square-faced guard stood outside the door, looking around vigilantly with eagle-like eyes.

At this moment, the door to the courtyard was suddenly pushed open. A yellow dress that looked no different from the yellow leaves on the ground fluttered in. A young girl with a high purple bun crossed the threshold. Her cold eyes quickly looked around.

Seeing miss Xiang 'e approaching, the guard quickly bowed and said, " "Miss!"

The Pink Bride nodded slightly and immediately ordered, " &Quot; Xiao Zheng is ill. I've come to visit him. You can leave first. &Quot;

Without waiting for the Guard's reply, her eyes flashed with a faint dark light.

The guard opened his mouth and was about to reply when he was stunned. He then nodded without any hesitation,"Yes!"

Thus, the guard bowed and strode out of the courtyard without any delay.

Seeing that she was the only one left in the courtyard, The Pink Bride flicked her wrist and the bright dagger that she had sacrificed to the maidservant was immediately held in her palm.

She quickly walked to the door and knocked on it.

"Bang Bang Bang."

There was no movement in the room, as if no one was inside.

The Pink Bride was unmoved. Seeing that no one responded, she simply pushed the door open and entered.

"Squeak."

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

In front of him was a single-seat yellow Rosewood screen carved with Mandarin Duck wood, mountains, rivers, and pavilions. On it, there were lush trees, waterfalls, and clear Springs. Among the clouds and mist, magnificent pavilions were faintly visible.

The winding mountain path led deep into the mountains. Halfway up the mountain, an expert with big fluttering sleeves was walking slowly.

After passing through the screen, the light inside was dim. Even though there was a Palace lamp lighting up the room, and there was daylight shining in from outside the screen, there were still shadows.

However, since she had already recovered a portion of her cultivation, The Pink Bride was not hindered at all and directly walked into the room.

She walked inside step by step while tentatively calling out, " "Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng ..."

Soon, she went around the tables and chairs and came to the curtain.

He saw a snow-green golden tent hanging high in the air, revealing a bed. Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the bed and was putting on a smooth mask that seemed to be made of fine iron.

At this moment, PEI Ling asked in a cold voice, " "Xiao Xiang 'e, why are you looking for me?"

Sensing that the other party's aura was also that of Qi refinement, The Pink Bride sneered. Without any nonsense, she loosened her five fingers, and the dagger drew a snow-colored arc in the air, flying towards PEI Ling immediately.

PEI Ling's fingers were like a knife, aimed at The Pink Bride, and lightly chopped.

Shua!

A domineering and sharp blood-colored saber Qi suddenly flew out.

Clang!

The blade Qi hit the dagger and made a metallic sound. This seemingly ordinary dagger was surprisingly tough. It didn't show any signs of being damaged when it collided with the blade Qi.

However, The Pink Bride's strength was obviously inferior to PEI Ling's, who was at the same level as her. Hence, although the dagger was not damaged, it was instantly sent flying.

The saber Qi's momentum did not decrease as it continued to slash at The Pink Bride.

The Pink Bride lifted her narrow sleeves slightly, and her slender white fingers quickly rubbed a few times as if she was playing the PIPA from a distance.

The daggers that had been sent flying were immediately drawn back by an invisible force and flew toward the saber Qi again.

Clang clang clang clang clang clang ...

After the dagger was sent flying seven to eight times in a row, PEI Ling's blade energy was finally completely worn out.

The Pink Bride staggered back a few steps and did not dare to continue attacking. She had already confirmed the other party's identity!

"It really is master!"

"What clues have you found, master?"

"I've also made some gains ..."

The Pink Bride suddenly asked with a smile, as if she wasn't the one who had suddenly hit him.

PEI Ling slowly retracted his aura and tried his best to suppress his worsening condition. He said calmly, " &Quot; the clue I have now is that the maidservants who appeared at night were all sacrifices that have already been offered. &Quot;

Hearing this, The Pink Bride was not surprised. She had also received relevant memories and immediately knew that PEI Ling was right.

"The mask is the weakness of those maidservants," he said.

"I have already gotten rid of a maidservant."

Hearing this, PEI Ling's expression was calm. He already knew about the mask, and he knew even more than the other party!

His thoughts were spinning rapidly. He shook his head slightly and said, " "Those maidservants are not important. The main point now is the following sacrifice ... How much do you know about the faceless immortal?"

The Pink Bride frowned and said, " "I don't understand at all."

&Quot; however, I should be able to find out some things after the sacrifice begins. &Quot;

&Quot; right, what does master plan to use as a sacrifice? "

"I haven't thought about it yet," PEI Ling replied briefly.

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and immediately said, " right now, I'm trying to find a way to obtain the original memories of this body. &Quot;

&Quot; this is the physical body of the Xiao family's young master, Xiao Zheng. He must be very familiar with the faceless immortal's background. &Quot;

"If we can obtain Xiao Zheng's memories, it will definitely be of great help to us in our upcoming plans."

"Have you also obtained Xiao Xiang 'E's memories during this period of time?"

The Pink Bride's expression did not change. She smiled and said, " &Quot; as expected of master. You've found a clue so quickly. &Quot;

&Quot; however, I'm too slow-witted to think of this, and I didn't obtain any of Xiao Xiang 'E's memories. &Quot;

After that, the two of them talked about some other things. PEI Ling deliberately avoided the topic of the mask and the maidservant, and The Pink Bride seemed to be hiding something as well. Both of them talked about the most basic things that were not difficult to find out.

After a while, seeing that she could no longer hear anything, The Pink Bride suddenly said, " "Master, I still have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

PEI Ling nodded slightly.

The Pink Bride turned around and left.

As he watched her back disappear through the door and sensed that The Pink Bride's aura was completely gone, PEI Ling could no longer hold it in and suddenly let out a heart-wrenching cough.

He quickly took off his mask, but his coughing did not stop. Blood continued to flow out from the corner of his mouth, staining the front of his robe. It was a shocking sight.

After a long while, PEI Ling finally calmed down, feeling weak all over.

"The Pink Bride must have awakened part of Xiao Xiang 'E's memory ..."

&Quot; I purposely said that this is Xiao Zheng's physical body. She didn't notice anything wrong, which means that she doesn't know that our fate has been suppressed! &Quot;

&Quot; she's able to recover a part of her cultivation now. She's walking the opposite path from me. She's turning into Xiao Xiang 'E! &Quot;

"However, this is a good thing for me!"
