The older wizards were also evasive and did not give an answer that satisfied Zheng Qing.
On Tuesday evening, before the evening class started, Zheng Qing went to Sanyou Bookstore to ask his husband directly what the leaf was for. But as expected, the bookstore was empty. There was dust accumulated on the windows.
It seems to be an inch thick, and the dark world behind the glass is in sharp contrast with the brightly lit pedestrian street night scene.
He raised his fist and hammered the door hard twice.
No one answered.
The young wizard was filled with anger and fear. He took out his brush, dipped it in cinnabar, drew a circle on the glass, and then left a big word "dismantle".
…
…
"——So I'm telling you, old man, it's not okay to leave this store to Xiao Qingzi."
In the glass window, the yellow fox looked at the large vermilion characters outside, with a look of gloating: "Perhaps as soon as you left, he hung the contract of the bookstore on the opposite side and sold it at the Wandering Bar. Isn't there that saying, "Zi sells his land"
I don’t feel bad! Look, he wants to demolish your shop while you are still alive!”
It was answered by a long purring sound on the recliner.
Half a moment.
The teapot boils.
The owner of Sanyou Bookstore seemed to have just woken up, yawned a little, and snorted: "——Selling a bookstore? If this bookstore can be sold, do we have to wait for him to take over? I have sold it long ago! This is it.
The shell on the back of the snail, what the child inherits is not the bookstore, but the identity of the store manager."
"whispering sound."
Huang Huali seemed to disagree with what he said: "How long have you been visiting this store...hundreds of years? Thousands of years? When I met you, you were the store manager, and I never saw the bookstore owner coming out.
If you overdo it, even if you follow the rules in the "Code", this store should be yours."
The old man on the recliner opened his mouth and was about to say something. He suddenly came back to his senses and slowly closed his mouth under the flashing eyes of the tabby cat. He swallowed the words "who wants this shabby shop" that had already filled his throat again.
Enter the stomach.
"It's a pity that when the store was handed over to me, the Alliance didn't have the "Code" yet." He sighed with a half-smile, and his slightly unreal figure swayed slightly with this sigh.
The yellow raccoon's face suddenly dropped.
"I don't care, I'm going to be the store manager!" It spread its two furry hind legs like a naughty child and sat on the edge of the window sill, its tail flapping wildly.
The bookstore owner curled his lips: "No, you don't want to, you just want to see the world outside the door..."
"Is it wrong to explore the unknown?" Huatao said confidently and puffed out his chest.
"That's why I can't leave the bookstore to you."
The owner of the bookstore glanced at the cat meaningfully: "The owner of the bookstore can have a cat in his heart, but the owner of the bookstore cannot be a cat... Just like learning magic, it is very necessary to maintain a certain degree of curiosity, but when curiosity becomes instinctive
When things go wrong, it’s easy to go astray.”
…
…
If Zheng Qing were nearby, he would definitely sneer at what he said.
Because not all cats are curious.
Just like the one in front of him.
"——Why do you have to investigate the purpose of this leaf?"
The white jade cat squatted under a blooming platycodon flower, and taught the black gem cat a serious lesson: "You have been groping for a day and haven't found that this leaf has any bad effect on you, so don't worry about its use.
Many old-school wizards have this style. They prefer to maintain a certain balance between chance and destiny... In short, your husband will not harm you. Just like this platycodon, since it can bloom freely on campus
, it must not be some monster, because I know that the school will not allow poisonous flowers to bloom freely."
The black gem cat glanced at the beautiful purple flower and sniffed.
Under normal circumstances, platycodon should bloom in the sunny grass in late summer, not under the dense forest in late spring. But this 'wonderful flower' blooms openly under the cat fruit tree in late spring. Where can I explain it?
"It's not all without its disadvantages."
It raised its paws, touched the regular script leaves in front of its forehead, and muttered: "I feel like I have turned into a monster... Do you know what it feels like to be awake all day without feeling sleepy? It feels like my worldview is slowly collapsing.
!”
"It's not that exaggerated."
The white jade cat moved forward, as if he wanted to see the leaf more clearly: "——Everyone's worldview is collapsing every moment, but it is also being rebuilt every moment. Everything must be good.
I think maybe because you didn’t choose to travel to Gaowei, my husband gave you a gift in exchange..."
Because the little white cat was a little too close, the black cat seemed to be under a restraining spell and did not dare to move.
But its mouth was not sealed.
"Instead of this leaf?"
The black gem cat rolled its dark white eyes and looked up, as if he could see his own forehead this way: "——He might as well give me a few super powerful talisman bullets, one that can send away a legend.
kind."
"Then you accidentally shot Lao Yao to death?" Bai Jade Cat was speechless: "Just like you accidentally severely injured Chromano, or accidentally broke the inner city of the Black Prison?"
The black gem cat's face suddenly turned red.
That is to say, its body is a black gemstone, so its red color is not obvious.
"Those were all accidents." It murmured.
"Some things, if they happen once, it's an accident, if they happen twice, it's an accident, but if they happen a third time, it's not an accident." The white jade cat glanced at the black gem cat: "I don't think your husband has given you more power.
The talisman bullets were probably used to prevent the third accident from happening."
The black cat didn't like hearing this.
It coughed loudly twice, as if a small insect had flown into its throat.
"Speaking of accidents—"
It's mind was spinning rapidly, and it changed the topic calmly: "Yesterday, um, no, today is already Wednesday... It was the morning before yesterday, when I went to Sanjijian to deliver the talisman bombs, I accidentally met Lin Guo. He is now with
He joined Dr. Duzem’s new project and also wore a black robe. Do you still remember the black sheep he saved using alchemy? I don’t know how Professor Duzem helped him transform it, and it looked exactly like a living thing!
"
The white jade cat's face didn't show much happiness.
Instead, he showed a hint of worry.
"Ling Guo?"
She murmured and shook her head: "I was negligent... Qingqiu Mansion has gained a few new playmates recently, and Li Meng rarely plays with Lin Guo... It's naturally a good thing that he can wear a black robe.
But we cannot be careless. After all, he is a member of the Forgiveness."
"What are you careless about?" Black Cat blinked, not knowing why.
The white jade cat gave him a serious look: "Although Dr. Duzem has regained his freedom now, don't forget what he looked like when we first met him... I don't want Lin Guo to become like him in the future.
