At ten o'clock in the morning, I slept until I woke up naturally.
When she went downstairs, Lingxi was sitting on the sofa watching TV, holding a bag of potato chips in her hand, chewing slowly, feeling happy.
Seeing me coming down, she waved and said with a sweet smile: "I read a book all night last night, and I will help you look up the details of the Heart-Eating Gu Insect. My shoulders are very sore right now, can you help me rub it?"
"Uh..." I subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Doesn't such an intimate gesture of rubbing shoulders pull me into the "fire pit" again?
I have finally made up my mind to "keep a distance" from Lingxi. It has only been one night, and all my previous efforts have been wasted?
I hesitated and hesitated.
But looking at Lingxi's expectant eyes and her attitude of wholeheartedly helping me get rid of the poisonous insects, I really couldn't say no to her.
I could only carefully sit next to Lingxi and help her squeeze and rub her shoulders, pretending to be natural.
"The technique is very professional." Lingxi put down the bag of potato chips and said, "I have two pieces of news here, one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
I was attracted by the topic of Lingxi, adjusted my sitting position and said, "Is it related to the heart-eating Gu worm?"
"Smart." Lingxi praised.
I paused with my hands for a moment and thought: "Let's hear the good news first. If I feel better, it will be easier to accept the bad news later."
Lingxi patted my hand and motioned for me to continue kneading it: "Good news, there are clues to the whereabouts of the female Gu. The auction will be held at Liulice Pavilion at nine o'clock tomorrow night."
"So fast?" I was surprised and couldn't help but said excitedly: "Kunlun disciples do things very quickly."
Lingxi shook his head and said: "To be honest, the female Gu clue this time was thrown out of thin air and has nothing to do with the Kunlun disciples."
"I received a call from Pei Chuan this morning. Like me, he has doubts about the clues about the female Gu."
"But whether it's true or false, we have to participate in this auction and wait until we get clues."
Lingxi seemed to be too tired. He leaned back slightly and leaned half on me. "Maybe it's Chen Xuanjun's trick again, just waiting for us to jump down."
"Then I won't go." I said bitterly, "It's really a coincidence that this female Gu clue came from me. It's probably a ghost."
Lingxi closed her eyes in comfort and said with great enjoyment: "There are no ghosts, it's just a matter of spending some money."
"What if it's true?"
"Liu Li Pavilion is the most famous auction house. The items auctioned by them must be authenticated by experts."
"Since you dare to conduct an auction in a grand manner and clearly target us, the self-destruction sign should not be, well, half-truth or half-false."
Lingxi said with a mocking look: "Kunlun is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others. If Liuli Pavilion dares to take the clues, it must have a trump card to prevent me from settling the accounts after the fall."
I responded, "What about the bad news?"
"Bad news?" Lingxi exhaled irritably and said with trembling eyelashes: "Zhixia told me that Lu Zang's assistant has disappeared."
"Huh?" I said, not understanding the situation: "This has nothing to do with me, it's not bad news."
Lingxi sat up straight with slightly red cheeks, opened her eyes and said angrily: "I just praised you for being smart, but now you are stupid."
"Do you still remember what happened on Zhixia's birthday party?"
Lingxi said: "Your fate and luck were leaked in Lu Zang's study."
"There are a lot of people outside trying to find out your identity."
"The Lu family is the only breakthrough."
"Lu Zang's female assistant has been with him for many years and must know something about his life extension."
"If someone catches her and pries something out of her mouth..."
Lingxi turned to look directly at me and said, "Only six people entered Lu Zang's study that day, you, me, Pei Chuan, Lu Zang, and Zhou Wanjie, who has the destiny of being a glutton."
"The last one is Lu Zang's female assistant, his niece Guo Ting."
"At this moment, the group of people who are inquiring about your identity should have figured out your identity."
"Although they haven't been able to determine your fate yet, it's obvious that you must have aroused their suspicion."
Lingxi said with distress: "You are like a huge delicious cake, and a group of people want to divide you up."
"What, what kind of carving up method?" I said with fear in my heart: "Kill me?"
