Lord Shuangyue made a new friend - a beautiful peacock.
However, even though they were friends, they just looked at each other a little awkwardly. To be precise, only Shuoyue-kun felt embarrassed. She wanted to condemn this monster, because it was him who had caused a lot of trouble for her work before.
"You..." Lord Shuangyue pondered for a moment, "The peacock spirit who sold Resentful Eclipse earlier was you, right?"
Kong Lingbei raised his eyebrows: "Do you recognize me? Well, it's nothing new."
This attitude made her a little angry. I heard from an informant before that the Peacock Spirit was indeed a respectable person, but when I saw her with my own eyes, I really felt a little arrogant. People with ability have a temper, but Lord Shuangyue
She knew many capable and sensible people, such as the man next to him, so his behavior was enough reason to displease her.
But there is no way, he seems to have a good relationship with the Master of Bones.
"When did you two... meet?"
"We've known each other for a long time." Shi Wuqi said with a smile, "But we haven't met a few times. We just walked together for a while recently."
"It's this guy who caused a lot of trouble." Lord Shuangyue said, not politely, "The Hungry Ghost Blade named Resentment was tossed around in his hands. Originally, when I heard the news, I just thought
I thought it was a mountain king who was doing these shameless things, but I never thought he was a well-known local lord. Just for these petty profits, do you know how much trouble you have caused?"
Kong Lingbei was not happy. He was always the only one who blamed others, and he was never scolded by others. He immediately retorted: "Penny gain? Do you know how much money those fools are willing to pay for this sword?"
Silver? Of course you know how important money is in the human world, so I won’t say more. Today’s human beings
The territory of our country is constantly expanding. In order to adapt to your life, many monsters are also trying their best to make money. Of course, I am different from this group of worthless guys. I am only responsible for making profits. As long as I have enough money, even if
You can also have a great say among monsters. Don’t you humans often say that money can make ghosts go around?”
"Sell it, snatch it back, and kill people to silence them. Is there anyone who does this kind of business? The word profiteer is not enough to describe you."
"Tsk. Do you think there is any decent person who can buy this sword? But there have never been any decent people who have the courage to spend huge sums of money to buy it, seal it up, and protect it. If there is such a person, I will not only sell it at a low price
, and I was willing to help him. But everyone I dealt with had ulterior motives and didn’t even bother to think of a good excuse. In this case, I think
It doesn't matter if they take advantage of others. Anyway, if this weapon falls into their hands, there will definitely be bigger troubles. Then won't you Six Paths Impermanence come to wipe the mess? I'm responsible for monitoring the flow of the sword and dealing with the troubles between humans and demons. By the way,
Charging a reasonable fee and reusing waste, doesn't this save you some trouble? You should thank me instead of just shirking responsibility."
"you……"
Mr. Shuangyue was really furious. He was a mountain king or a lord. He was just a second-rate dealer. He just looked better and dressed more neatly. They were all used to deceive others and confuse people.
"You also know where the sword is now! Aren't you able to control its whereabouts? Why did it fall into the hands of the Wuyong clan?" Lord Shuangyue said dissatisfied, "If you hadn't sold the sword, I wouldn't have.
There is no need to fight for unnecessary robberies with distasteful colleagues, and the sword will not escape from the Death Shadow Pavilion, and neither will I..."
Nor will I meet Xue Miyin.
Shuoyue-kun's words stopped abruptly. No, you can't say that. At least saving someone's life is a good thing. If she hadn't been able to go to the depths of the ravine, she wouldn't have been able to rescue her. No matter what the situation was now, she would have done it back then.
She never regretted her good deeds. If she did not save her, she would have hated herself at that time.
"Then you should also blame the late shadow pavilion for poor supervision." Kong Lingbei disagreed, "Besides, it was you who stole my things. It was my people who intercepted the buyer, and the sword should be recovered by us in the end. You
Isn’t it a shame that you’ve stolen other people’s things and are still here to plausibly say it?”
"Since when did Resentment become your thing?"
Kong Lingbei was a little puzzled. He asked: "Why not? Anything should belong to whomever it is in. No matter if it is sold by me or stolen by others, as long as it is in whose hands
, I recognized that it was this person's object. Doesn't that person own the object at the moment? I can snatch it back, and it will be my thing again. Just like now, of course I agree that the sword is useless
The blue thing—or the dog, whoever. It's not you or me."
Mr. Shuangyue wanted to say something more, but Shi Wuqi stretched out an arm to stop him. He picked up the tea with the other hand and drank it in one gulp. Fortunately, the small teahouse was lively enough that the noise of others could drown out their quarrel.
Otherwise, if others heard this conversation clearly, they would definitely be frightened. Shi Wuqi waved his hand and said to Lord Shuangyue:
"Monsters have their own concept of monsters. They are just different from yours. There is no right or wrong. Now that the matter has come to this point, it is meaningless for both of you to settle these old scores. How long are you going to argue about these old sesame seeds and rotten millet matters?
Do you want to disturb Uoyuki-kun? That would be really embarrassing."
When it came to Lord Maoyue, Kong Lingbei became quieter and sat upright again. Lord Shuangyue really didn't want to argue with him, so he kept silent about it and stretched out his hand to pour another cup of tea. Shi Wuqi reacted quickly,
He picked up the teapot earlier than she did and refilled the water for her. The tea was still hot, white smoke was rising, and the fragrance of flowers mixed with the fragrance of tea filled the air.
Indeed, as Lord Shigetsutsu said, there is a small town in this direction. When he first arrived in the city, Lord Shigetsuki was still skeptical of his words. There were too many people here, and it was really difficult to find anyone. Maybe he was just teasing.
Just herself. However, before she left, she saw this
A monster in rather eye-catching clothing. Although others could not recognize the identity of Kong Lingbei's monster with the naked eye, Liudao Wuchang's eyes could. She followed him for a few steps and saw Shi Wuqi. This sudden reunion made her
The two of them were more or less surprised, so they came to this teahouse to rest.
Before meeting Lord Shuangyue, Shi Wuqi also met another person. He had no intention of coming to this city, but Kong Lingbei insisted on coming because he had an appointment with Lord Maoyue to exchange information here.
Since he was meeting Maoyue Jun, Shi Wuqi thought it would be okay to stop here for a while. As expected, he saw his old friend Long Miao, and Kong Lingbei was a little surprised that they knew each other.
Wu Qi was not stupid, and it could be seen that his attitude towards Long Miao was not friendly, but he did not say much. Long Miao told them that Mao Yuejun went to see the flower show in the north of the city, and would come after a while, so that they could
First, find a place to rest nearby and inform her yourself. This statement sounds... indeed like what Uoyuki-kun would do. When Shuoyue-kun saw the two of them, they said goodbye to Takimiao.
"Sometimes I feel that the world is very small, because there are always many coincidences." Shuangyue Jun said.
"Looking at the long river of time, this can't be considered a coincidence. For hundreds or thousands of years, it will become a common thing to bump into one of the many friends I have known in a certain place."
"I just said that the underworld bell keeps ringing, so it turns out there is more than one person."
"Who else did you meet?"
Mr. Shuangyue opened his mouth, paused, and said reluctantly: "Who else can it be?"
"Oh, him." Shi Wuqi smiled, "I don't care about him anymore. You are still worried about him after all these years."
"It's not that I'm holding a grudge, it's that some people are determined to remain stubborn."
"Okay, you're right."
Kong Lingbei glanced at them, suddenly stood up and left his seat.
"Where are you going?" Shi Wuqi asked him.
"You guys are so boring chatting. I'm going out for a walk. I'll see when the egret spirit comes back."
The drunkard's intention was not to drink, but Shi Wuqi did not expose him and let him leave. After he left, it would be easier to say something.
"Sorry, about that girl...I have only heard bad rumors recently."
"It's okay, there's nothing to apologize for." Shuoyue-kun smiled reluctantly, "What I learned is not much better...I heard that she was with a monster."
"I have something to tell you." Shi Wuqi's tone became serious. He took out the cat's eye stone, held it between his thumb and forefinger, moved closer, and whispered to Lord Shuangyue: "Through this thing, I
I learned about her past. You didn’t tell me some of it, but I guessed it pretty much. This cat’s eye stone can make me
Seeing what she went through - it was all inhuman treatment. What she suffered may be much worse than you think. Don't think that she is fragile. Instead, she is able to survive until now, which is what surprises me.
.Also, at that time, you did blame her wrongly. She was not the one who killed the musician, but Sanhua'er's cat."
"..." Mr. Shuangyue paused for a moment, "No, I didn't blame her. I had... stopped blaming her a long time ago. I just felt strange, but in the end I thought about it clearly. I'm afraid it was Amiao who did it. It was because he wanted to
Avenge yourself?"
"It guessed what Miss Xue would do for it. Killing people as revenge was not its original intention. In fact, Miss Xue did have murderous intentions, but the cat was a step ahead of her to prevent her from becoming a murderer.
Crime. Although, she already is."
"I just hope she's fine."
"She can't get better." Shi Wuqi was so straightforward, "She places you in her heart much higher than you think. So the extent to which you disappoint her is far greater than you expected."
Mr. Shuangyue suddenly raised his arms and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, don't say it. I have already been taught a lesson by you. I guess what you saw just fulfilled what you said... I will remember it all.
But, I don’t want to hear you repeat it again…”
"Don't you dare to admit it? Or don't you dare to face it?"
