My first reaction when I came to this place was that we had entered an illusion.
But when I looked at the faces of Lu Xiaohong and Hao Jingde, I realized that I was wrong.
I have read some texts and records about parallel spaces before, but their descriptions are different from our current situation. Logically speaking, parallel spaces should not have the phenomenon that our original world is night, but here it is day.
In just over ten minutes, the world we live in has changed from late night to daytime, and it is noon, which is a bit strange.
Lu Xiaohong squinted his eyes and looked at the ancient city, his face a little solemn. He probably had the same confusion as me.
"Let's swim ashore first and then talk!" Lu Xiaohong looked back at us and said.
Fortunately, no one was left behind, and neither Shi Xian nor Chen Laizi made any special moves.
Probably because of fear of Bai Yao, maybe because of other reasons.
Regarding Shi Xian, I have always been a little confused about why he behaved so strangely. First, he threw Dongzi into the water on the pretext of leg cramps, and then he ran to attack the strange fish with a human face when we went down to the Black Rock Pond.
Afterwards, I thought about it carefully. At that time, Lu Xiaohong and I had almost sunk to the bottom of the pond, and the strange fish with a human face was very close to me and Lu Xiaohong. At the same time, there were many human faces swimming around us.
Strange fish.
If he attacks the strange fish with a human face, it is very likely that the fish will attack us. Lu Xiaohong and I are farther from the water than him, and our chances of escape may be much smaller than his.
Maybe the leg cramps he had when he left Dongzi behind were just faking.
If he threw Dongzi in the water because Hao Jingde had a bad tone in front of him, which caused him to hold a grudge, then what was his purpose in wanting to kill Lu Xiaohong and me?
Could it be that he had long been bribed by the lame ghost-faced man?
The salary and income in Tianshi Mansion are extremely high. Lu Xiaohong has only been in Tianshi Mansion for a year, and has already become a proper diamond king. Shi Xian should have entered Tianshi Mansion long ago, and his status is only
Under my father Xiao Han, logically speaking, it shouldn't be money that can be used to bribe him.
For the Tianshi Mansion, those people in Lame Ghost Face were first-rate barbarians who were not worthy of recognition. Since money cannot buy Shi Xian, then what exactly was he bought by?
While I was thinking, I followed Lu Xiaohong and swam toward the shore.
Lian Ruowei swam to me at some point and suddenly whispered in my ear: "Shitou was not like this before. He took good care of all of us. Every time he went on a mission, he would rush to the front, worried that we would
Injuried."
I was stunned, not quite understanding why Lian Ruowei suddenly said this to me.
Although Xiao Han is my father, he rarely talks to me about the Tianshi Mansion.
To Tianshi Mansion, I am completely an outsider.
"Hu Ling, after we find Master Xiao Tian, if, I mean if, Shi Xian doesn't do anything stupid again, please don't tell Xiao Zun about the things he did before, okay? He has lost a person now.
Only one hand, if Xiao Zun knew..."
Lian Ruowei's face turned red when she said this, and her eyes were filled with anticipation and confusion. When she saw me turning to look at her, she couldn't say any more.
"Master Lian, you know, in fact, I am just an outsider to your Tianshi Mansion, so no matter whether I can forgive him or not, I will not talk or interfere at will regarding the affairs of your Tianshi Mansion and Shi Xian's affairs.
." I thought for a while and said.
I didn't say the last half of the sentence. I wasn't the only one who saw what Shi Xian did during his trip. I didn't have to mention it, but I couldn't help others not mentioning it.
"I know I know!"
Lian Ruowei spoke quickly, looked at me a few times, and muttered: "Actually, I just want to give him a chance to change his ways. As long as you tell Master Lu Tianshi, he probably won't tell Xiao Zun.
You will be able to retire from the Tianshi Mansion in half a year to recuperate. There was originally a rumor from above that Shitou could replace Xiao Zun, but I didn’t expect him..."
My father will be able to retire from the Tianshi Mansion in half a year?
I never heard him mention this, maybe he wanted to give me a surprise.
Hearing Lian Ruowei say this, I felt even more worried and distressed. He would soon be able to enjoy the blessings at home and no longer have to deal with life and death. I never expected that his whereabouts would be unknown at this juncture, and his life or death would be uncertain.
Seeing that I was silent, Lian Ruowei nervously called me again: "Hu Ling?"
I came back to my senses and looked at Lian Ruowei, "Did you just say that Shi Xian might take over my father's position?"
"Well, this is the rumor coming from above, but Xiao Zun's recommendation is still needed. As long as Xiao Zun recommends it, then this matter will basically be inevitable." Lian Ruowei nodded slightly.
Seeing Lian Ruowei's affirmation, my heart sank. I thought I probably knew why Shi Xian did what he did.
Maybe Lu Xiaohong and Lian Ruowei also knew that they were just willing to give Shi Xian one more chance.
"Master Lian, have you ever thought about it, your Tianshi Mansion is an institution that represents justice. If a person with evil intentions takes over my father's position, what will happen in the future?" I looked into Lian Ruowei's eyes and said.
.
Lian Ruowei was stunned for a moment, her eyes lowered, and she stared at the water without saying a word.
"Actually, Lu Xiaohong should have known that Shi Xian's thoughts were not pure. He chose not to expose Shi Xian because he probably wanted to give Shi Xian a chance to change his ways just like you. But whether Shi Xian can seize this opportunity or not depends on
It depends on him, but to be honest, I would rather you or someone else take over my father's position than Shi Xian. In any case, Lian Tianshi, although you have a good relationship with him,
But while we still don’t know why he suddenly became like this, you must be prepared." I said.
"My father won't let me stay in Tianshi Mansion for long. He hopes that I can return to Kyoto and join politics like him." Lian Ruowei said with a somewhat depressed expression.
It turns out that Lian Ruowei is actually a second-generation official, which I didn't expect. Apart from the impression of the first meeting, I rarely see the unruliness and willfulness of a second-generation official in her.
"Don't you want Master Lu to take over your father's position? Or maybe your father is more inclined to recommend Master Lu." Lian Ruowei then asked me curiously.
I smiled, glanced at Lian Ruowei and said: "Maybe the Venerable Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion is a very important identity to you Celestial Masters, but I am just an ordinary person. I don't think so. I believe that Lu
Xiaohong would not think so either.
My father spends more than half a year traveling around, and I have been living with the care and worry of separation for a long time, so I don’t want my boyfriend or future husband to be like my father, who is always away without company.
My time."
Lu Xiaohong, who was swimming in front of us, turned back to look at me at this moment, and smiled at me lovingly.
I guess he listened to everything that Lian Ruowei and I said word for word.
Suddenly I felt a little hot on my face.
Even the expression on Ruowei's face was a little unnatural. She twitched her lips at me and swam quickly towards the shore. This chapter has been completed!
