There seemed to be a storm in Pei Ling's heart, and memories about Ji Wu flooded into his mind instantly!

He has been here in Pengyingguan for at least one day!

The clear scene in my memory is that it was raining heavily at the same time as it was now, with thunder and lightning, and Ji Wu came to Pengyinguan alone to take shelter from the rain... No!

There is more than one person on the other side!

Pei Ling couldn't remember the other people. He didn't know if they were the people in front of him, but there was no doubt that the scene in front of him was extremely familiar to him.

It seems this is not the first time I have seen it!

In addition, there is still a trace of his sword energy in Ji Wu's sword.

This is exactly the same as in memory!

Because he was too frightened, he didn't listen to a word of what Ji Youzhong said next.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Ji Youzhong's slightly suspicious and wary voice sounded in his ears.

Pei Ling suddenly came to his senses and said immediately: "I am not the owner of Zheng Jingshan Mountain, but I am here to take shelter from the rain."

As he spoke, he let the door open, showing that he had no hostility.

Seeing this, the Ji family looked relieved. Ji Youzhong raised his hands towards Pei Ling again, exchanged a few words of greetings, and then protected his eldest daughter inside.

The front hall of this Taoist temple was quite vast, but Ji Youzhong and his party were very cautious and chose a corner to stay.

Before long, they managed to light a fire, and the soaked people gathered around it to keep warm.

In the meantime, the maid seemed quite lively and wanted to chat, but was sternly stopped by Ji Youzhong.

So next, the hall only heard the "crackling" sound of firewood burning, and no one spoke.

In order to dispel their vigilance, Pei Ling pretended to watch the rain and stood outside for a while, holding his breath and listening to what was going on inside.

Seeing that they were silent all the time, he slowly walked inside.

He sat cross-legged in the corner opposite to the Ji family and observed secretly.

Later, he discovered that Ji Wu didn't seem to recognize him at all.

In addition to being the captain of the guard and instinctively alert to Pei Ling when he was at the door, this mortal began to organize a series of trivial matters after entering the palace. Even if Pei Ling walked in from the outer door, he only glanced at it.

, confirmed that he did not mean to cause trouble, and continued to urge his subordinates to watch the fire.

"He has my sword energy, so I can think of him?" Pei Ling thought to himself, and suddenly thought, someone else is here!

Not long after, along with a burst of curses, there was a burst of kicking footsteps outside the door, and three people filed in.

These three people are all casual cultivators in the Qi training period. The one walking at the front is wearing a yellow robe and has green hairpins.

Upright; the last one is an old dwarf with red hair and a brown robe, who looks rather sinister.

After seeing the appearance of these three casual cultivators, Pei Ling frowned.

That subtle sense of familiarity came to my mind again...

He was thinking attentively, and vaguely seemed to hear the three casual cultivators discussing in low voices how they accidentally entered the Taoist temple. After that, they looked at the Ji family for a few times, and when they saw the eldest daughter of the Ji family, they laughed.

Decided to stay for now.

Upon noticing this scene, Ji Wu's expression became solemn!

The three newcomers are very strong!

It was so strong that the opponent didn't even have to take action, but it made him, the most powerful guard in the Ji family nursing home, feel heart palpitations!

This made Ji Wu instinctively feel uncomfortable.

And what worries him the most is that he noticed the interest flashing in the other party's eyes when he saw his eldest lady just now...

After a while, Ji Wu suddenly turned his head and whispered to Ji Youzhong. After that, he got up alone and walked towards Pei Ling.

"What's the matter?" Pei Ling noticed and asked immediately.

Ji Wu walked up to him, glanced at the three casual cultivators quietly, and then said in a low voice: "Sir, it's dark and it's raining. It's too lonely for you to be here alone. Why don't you come to our place?"

Come and warm up by the fire? When we go out, we can take care of each other."

Pei Ling was confused, whether it was his previous memories or what he saw now.

The Ji family are all mortals, and they are also escorting the delicate eldest lady, so they are very cautious up and down. Even after entering the palace for such a long time, they dare not let the people below speak freely, which shows that they act carefully.

At this moment, Ji Wu's words and deeds clearly showed him to be wary of the three people and very fearful of them.

But why do you trust him so much, a stranger?

To put it bluntly, aren't you afraid that when he gets close, he will suddenly get violent and take their eldest daughter hostage?

After pondering for a while, Pei Ling simply asked directly, whispering: "We are strangers to each other, why do you feel so relieved about me?"

Ji Wu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said subconsciously: "I don't think the young master is a bad person, so I came here to invite you. If the young master is unwilling, then forget it."

"Okay." Pei Ling was thinking about how to start with Ji Wu. Naturally, he would not miss this opportunity at this moment. He immediately agreed after hearing this.

So, he stood up and followed Ji Wu to the fireside where Ji's family was.

When the rest of the Ji family saw Pei Ling, they immediately looked wary. Some of the nervous guards even subconsciously touched their hands to the swords at their sides. The threat was palpable.

"Sir, my name is Ji Wu, and I am the guard captain of the Ji family, a wealthy family in Lanke City." At this time, Ji Wu said, "The person just now is the steward of the Ji family, Ji Youzhong."

He introduced his guards one by one, and finally said, "I am waiting for this trip to escort the eldest lady Ji Shuang'er back to Ji's family in Lanke City."

"The woman beside the eldest lady is my maid Xiaoxia."

Pei Ling nodded while listening, but after carefully recalling it in his mind, he had no impression of these people at all.

He was very confused in his heart. Ji Wu seemed to have special trust in him in the Ji family, but the others looked at him very defensively.

If that's the case, why let Ji Wu invite him over?

With this in mind, Pei Ling and Ji Wu chatted for a few words and then started practicing.

It was obviously not the first day he entered Pengyinguan. Due to his severe memory loss, Pei Ling could not remember when he broke through to the late stage of foundation building.

But in this situation, if your cultivation level can be improved by one point, then it will be improved by one point.

However, there are outsiders present at this moment, so there is no telling what accident may happen.

Therefore, for the sake of caution, Pei Ling did not use system hosting, but silently performed the exercises on his own to hone his true energy.

Time passed slowly, and soon, the sky became dark.

In the hall, except for the fire raised by Queji's family, the faces of the three monks were immersed in the dimness. Looking at the shadows, they could not be distinguished, and they had a ghostly atmosphere.

This made the Ji family feel a little instinctively uneasy.
