At night, Mu Wan hid on the rooftop alone and refused to let anyone find her.
Even though Dai Luan repeatedly called her down below to go back and rest, she turned a deaf ear. Not to mention Shan Hai and Wu Qi, they couldn't do anything to persuade her. The cause of the current embarrassing situation was naturally related to what happened during the day.
First, Gao Yuejun said that there was no poison in Xie Hualing's body. It was a joke made by She Ji. When she said this, the audience showed an unprecedented anger. This was stranger than the real poison.
Satsuki-kun said she had no
They couldn't understand whether it was true or not. Even if they asked her repeatedly, she denied it. Mu Wan even asked She Ji to show up for a confrontation, but Gao Yuejun said that he was not here, but she could act as the real pavilion master.
ensure.
When the thought of disaster arises in people's hearts, something more terrifying than poison or plague has already begun to spread.
It’s called people’s words. But people’s words are to be feared.
The second reason is that Mu Wan did not ask Lord Gaoyue for the antidote to the Tengu.
This doesn't seem to be explained by just self-esteem. Mu Wan seemed to have made up her mind from the beginning. Even when she came to the Death Shadow Pavilion, she didn't say a word about the Shikigami. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt
Gao Yuejun glanced at her several times, always with a hint of inquiry - asking if she had any other questions she wanted to say. But the Master of the Dead Shadow Pavilion was very cunning. If you didn't tell her, she wouldn't ask, it would just be like that.
Hanging on each other, no one should let go.
When she was about to leave, Shanhai kindly reminded Mu Wan, but she did not speak. Mu Wan was hesitant at first, but Gao Yuejun did not rush her, and just looked at her with interest.
Lin Shanhai was not stupid, he knew that she had already made up her mind, and Shi Wuqi didn't say anything in front of Gao Yuejun. Dai Luan felt strange, and was about to say something, but was persuaded by Wu Qi's look to go back, and gave up.
.
According to Shi Wuqi's stance towards Lord Gao Yue, he had given Mu Wan enough face. But as soon as he left the Death Shadow Pavilion, he asked faster than Shan Hai:
"Why didn't you say a word about the Tengu?"
"She knows everything. The look in her eyes when Aluan mentioned Gui Tan was meaningful. There is nothing she doesn't know. I don't need to say it. It's just humiliating myself."
"Since she knows everything, why don't you keep asking?" Shi Wuqi frowned, "Are you going to give up your shikigami and your identity as an onmyoji?"
It is not easy to say that Shi Wuqi had been holding it in for a long time and still had the consciousness not to argue in front of "outsiders". But Mu Wan did not appreciate this topic.
"Tengu is different!" she shouted loudly, not caring whether Lord Satsuki could hear it, "it's not an ordinary shikigami, it would be better if it was that simple. Do you know? I have been dreaming these days. In my dreams
The tengu chased me, mouth wide open, accusing me of being unworthy of being a good master and not qualified to be a demon servant. When I wake up, I have to face your accusations. Aren't I tired?"
"But you are avoiding the problem." He hit the nail on the head, "I heard what happened when you returned to Xueyan Valley. I thought you had grown up and could distinguish between right and wrong and be more decisive. But no - from this
In fact, I don't see you growing at all."
"What does it have to do with you whether I grow up or not? Are you my father or my mother? If you were really my brother, I would fight with you now. I can't afford to bet, you know? I can't afford to bet! Mine
Life is worthless, really, worthless. But I don’t want to just
Such an unexplained death! How can I explain to my mother and my brother? How can I have the face to see my father when I'm under Jiuquan? What do you know? You weren't there when we needed you. You didn't participate in our past.
…You don’t understand anything.”
The master and apprentice who tried to break up the fight also fell silent. What she said was true, but it was definitely not Shi Wuqi's deliberate intention. It was a bit heart-wrenching to say this, and it could be seen from Mu Wan's expression that after she finished speaking
I regretted it.
This is so inappropriate. You obviously think you have grown up a bit, how could you make such a childish mistake?
Shi Wuqi didn't speak. The night wind blew over his face, lifting strands of long hair. Speaking of which, his hair had grown a lot. I don't know how long he had been with Miss Qi in that dark world. If there was no one
If he could speak, ordinary people would go crazy very quickly, right? He, the only living person, wouldn't he be fighting for survival and freedom all day long?
His face looked a little tired.
"Well, I don't understand." He took a deep breath, "I have no memory of the past, and I have no impression of my family. I only remember Qi, and I forgot whether she was a human or a monster. Indeed, the joys and sorrows of the world have nothing to do with me.
My thoughts are connected. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those words."
He did not mention the part of Mu Wan's words that really hurt him, and cleverly bypassed the forced separation. In fact, he did not show a trace of blame, and frankly admitted his unwarranted mistake. This made Mu Wan feel even more sad.
Maybe Shi Wuqi had a direct quarrel with her, and the two of them could relieve their anger more. But they didn't, and Shi Wuqi didn't give her this chance.
Even Shan Hai and A Luan couldn't tell whether all this was the perfect acting skills of Bai Skeleton Master or the words from the bottom of his heart.
After that, several people fell silent and returned to the inn in silence. It was already very late when they went back, and they didn't realize that they had spent so much time in the Immortal Shadow Pavilion. They just ordered cold dishes for dinner, but Mu Wan didn't eat them.
He went straight upstairs. Aluan went to call her, but he didn't see her in the room. The busboy said that she ran to the top of the building so that no one could come up to disturb her.
A Luan ran down and reported that Shan Hai felt a little resentful that iron could not turn into steel. He sighed and said that he didn't care about her, you eat what you have. In fact, none of them ate too much.
The night is getting deeper. There is no moon tonight, and the long clouds cover all the light sources in the sky. A few drizzles sprinkled down and fell on her face, which was cold and stinging. Finally, this faint numbness covered the entire face, making Mu Wan
It felt like she was wearing a mask, and her hands felt like they were wearing gloves, and they were extremely stiff. She was not cold, but she just kept sitting on the eaves with her knees hugged for too long.
After a while, the cold feeling completely disappeared. Mu Wan thought she was finally frozen, but it wasn't. When she raised her sore neck, she saw Miss Qi spreading her clothes and building a small shed with her arms.
He covered them inside. He didn't know when they came, but he didn't notice it. Was he too relaxed or too relieved?
Obviously she could borrow an umbrella from the store, but she didn't have one - he didn't have one.
"...Do you want to sit here?"
Mu Wan opened her mouth, and the long silence made her throat hurt slightly. So Miss Qi sat down and put her clothes on her head. Speaking of which, Mu Wan could smell it as long as she got closer.
Aqi has a faint fragrance on her body. It is not an ordinary demonic scent, but a simple fragrance. It may be used for antiseptic measures. It smells a bit like damp wood or mud after rain. It is fresh and natural.
of fragrance.
"I shouldn't have said that before." Mu Wan said, "At least... I didn't mean that."
Aqi just stared blankly ahead and nodded slightly to her speech. Mu Wan was not sure whether Shi Wuqi could really hear every word when speaking in this place. But she didn't want to hold it in any longer, so she continued.
:
"I know this may not be convincing. If you are in a hurry, it will be more or less true. But... it is not, really. I am a little bit complaining. If he was there when I returned to Xueyan Valley, I would have been able to
It solved a lot of unnecessary troubles. But I thought clearly, this is fine, I can't always let them help me solve problems. In this case, I lack the necessary experience and always rely on the strength of my companions to take shortcuts, which won't work."
Ah Qi nodded again, as if she really understood.
Mu Wan also looked ahead, staring blankly at the late-night scenery like her. The residents of Qinglize had scattered houses, and there was no need to build them so high. This inn was the tallest building. Looking around, the misty rain
The outline of the building is a bit illusory, the boundaries cannot be seen clearly, and it is almost half-blended in the night.
They stopped talking and just sat next to each other, waiting for time to flow slowly. After a long time, Mu Wan felt a little sleepy and yawned. She secretly wondered if she would find Shi Wuqi and that person when she went downstairs.
The two of them were hiding nearby, and what should Miss Qi do? Will she follow him down?
Just as she was thinking wildly with her sleepy head, a different shadow flew towards her in the dark scenery.
Mu Wan squinted her eyes and tried to look carefully. Before she could see clearly, the shadows were close enough. For some reason, there were flocks of geese flying past in the middle of the night. Just as she raised her head, someone suddenly came from the geese.
The group fell down. She was shocked and became more energetic.
The man landed neatly in front of her, his steps were as light as a bird, and only made a slight friction sound between the two tiles, which was too weak to be detected.
"Ye Yuejun!" Mu Wan's sleepiness was swept away, "Why are you here?"
Seeing her again, Ye Yuejun's expression was a little complicated, but she was generally happy. She was both comforted and a little sad.
"I didn't expect you to be awake," she said, "I came to take a look at you, just for a glance."
"Well, are you... here to deal with the matter of the ghost girl Thousand Faces?"
Now that he has regained his energy, he rationally told Mu Wan that this was the only thing worthy of Lord Ye Yue's presence.
"...Well, that's right, but it's just along the way. I also know about Sui Wu-kun. The weapon has been recovered by Black and White Wuchang, so don't worry. I originally wanted to find the remaining mask of Ao Oni at the scene, but the fragments seemed to have completely melted
It's in the lava. It doesn't matter, it's not an important thing. I have urgent things to do, so I just came to say hello. You say hello to them for me."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Mu Wan said incredulously, "Meeting you again is like a dream. Since you are in a hurry, I won't keep you here. Alas... Aluan must really want to see you."
"Haha... I miss her too. But seeing you is more important."
Mu Wan still didn't understand what he meant. As he spoke, Ye Yuejun raised his head and whistled, and the circling flock of swan geese dropped something again. A tightly wrapped cloth bag fell into Ye Yuejun's hand. She held it in her hands.
When he came to Mu Wan, he said quickly:
"I'm from Xueyan Valley. Chili and the others are doing well, don't worry. It's just your mother...ah, don't panic, your mother is also very healthy. You should take this thing, Chili asked me to
I gave it to you, and there are letters from them in it. I wanted to quietly put it by your window and leave, but I didn’t expect you to be still awake..."
Ye Yuejun had traveled thousands of miles and traveled a lot, and he made a special trip to see her just to deliver a message from home. This moved Mu Wan extremely. She looked at the package. It was not heavy, and it was wrapped in many layers. It was not square in shape, but
Somewhat long and narrow.
What will it be?
Mu Wan raised her head, and before she could express her gratitude to Lord Ye Yue, she called down a swan goose and hurriedly said goodbye.
