"Since Mr. Fan wants something from me, why do you want to confront me with swords like this? Maybe you know something?"
The man's expression did not change at all, but his heart was filled with waves. He was not sure whether this woman was the person in the rumors, but the characteristics of the two people were consistent with the rumors.
And the reason why he carefully mobilized extremely limited forces to restrict the two people's movements without the superiors being aware of it was because in the previous investigation, all the people who had exchanged faces with this woman had a bad death!
It was a mysterious thing in the first place, but the curse-like ending was cast in a strange tone. After all, this method was a deviant approach, and he was not completely sure. How could he dare to meet the two of them so easily?
?
He spent almost all the power he could mobilize to stay on guard for more than a month before he completely grasped the movements of the two of them, and finally caught them in this small town on the edge of the country. However, in the end he still had a grudge, so he had to let people
Only when the person you want is held hostage with a sword can you show your face.
It's not that he cannot die, but he must not lose his life in vain before completing his great cause!
Seeing Fan Li's calm expression, Dongfang Yaoyao became interested - just watch this person, although he is not a prince, and he is still a person with a lot of experience, but in the future he will also make achievements that are beyond the comparison of ordinary people!
But she couldn't tell the more specific details. What she was doing was against the will of heaven, and it was quite good to be able to penetrate it to this point. If she continued to look closely, she would be punished by heaven.
And that he was able to calmly grasp the whereabouts of himself and Gui Ming and successfully intercept them, which is enough to show that he is different from ordinary people in such a strategic plan, not to mention that he is not like those fools in the Demon Hunting Association who know everything about him and can do what they want.
It was quite beyond her expectation to reach this point.
It's just that... although this person has a strong character, his love path is still complicated and confusing. Looking at his face, it is obvious that the love disaster is near.
A trace of amusement suddenly arose in her heart - the man in front of her was quite interesting, and he would do whatever it took to achieve his own goals, so she would play with him... It wouldn't hurt to see what the final outcome would be!
"Haha~~~" Dongfang Yaoyao changed his posture, stretched, and continued, "Since you want me to help you change your face, and you also want to tell the truth about your identity and purpose, I will leave the words here -
—”
The moment she raised her eyes, she appeared behind Fan Li, gently stroking his neck with one hand.
"These tricks of yours are not enough for me! So if you show me a superior attitude, it is a deterrent to others. In my opinion, you are just a clown!"
A kind of murderous aura that was almost condensed into substance beat in his neck. Fan Li believed that as long as this woman wanted, she could slit her own throat at any time!
But the killing intent locked on him dissipated in an instant, and the woman's charming appearance only looked terrifying.
And she snapped her fingers, and the guards who couldn't move at all were instantly released from their restraints. Gui Ming also stood up, and a burst of energy came out of his body, knocking the weapon in the opponent's hand to the ground in an instant.
The two people's strange actions only lasted for a moment, and they defeated all these evil-minded guys, and Fan Li completely believed in the authenticity of her words.
Fan Li could only sigh softly and slowly revealed his identity and purpose.
After the man finished explaining his purpose, Dongfang Yaoyao burst out laughing——
"It's so interesting! It's so interesting that you asked me to change my face!" She turned around and patted Fan Li on the shoulder, "Okay, bring the person you like, and if you wish, I will give her unparalleled beauty!
"
Fan Li didn't know how he fell in love with Dongfang Yaoyao, but at least he didn't arouse the woman's dislike and successfully obtained a promise from her. Even without any proof, he felt that this woman would not easily abandon him.
Promise of.
Since this is the case, there is nothing to worry about.
After three months, Fan Li has been looking for a suitable partner——
She does not have any background that is easy to control, and she must have talents that can please the princes and nobles. Most importantly, she must obey him... But Fan Li knows that such a woman is not easy to find.
"Damn...the man who abandoned me...or that ugly daughter...go to hell!!"
In a dark cabin, a woman holding a wine jar was cursing and pouring wine into her mouth. The whole house stank, with the smell of leftover food and vomit everywhere.
The woman fell asleep holding the wine jar, and the wine jar dumped on the ground submerged the candle flame. In an instant, the flames spread, and within a moment, black smoke came out of the house.
Shi Yiguang also returned from the Huansha River today carrying a large basin of clothes, but he saw a scene that he had never expected.
The warm house that had never been given to her had been submerged in the raging sea of flames, and the neighbors who were still shouting for water to put out the fire came to her.
"Yi Guang! With your house burned like this, I think your mother is hopeless! You'd better prepare for the funeral as soon as possible!"
The old man, who usually took good care of Shi Yiguang, looked at the woman's lost state and was filled with sadness.
"Boom——!!!"
The wash basin in Shi Yiguang's hand fell directly to the ground, and the basin of clothes was scattered all over the floor. The water wet her shoes, but she didn't notice it and knelt down facing the fire.
"how so……"
Fan Li heard that there was a girl named Shi by the Huansha River who was good at singing and dancing but was very ugly. He thought that if he could meet her once, he would be able to know her true identity, so he brought Dongfang Yaoyao and Gui Ming to his door.
.Unexpectedly, when they found Mr. Shi’s residence, all they saw was a house that had been burned down recently——
"Old man...what...what's going on?"
Fan Li didn't know how the family's residence that he had found out so much turned out to be like this, so he had no choice but to ask the old man next door who was still helping Shi Yiguang -
"Oh, can't you see this?" In order to hide their whereabouts, the three of them did not wear ostentatious clothes, so the old man did not see their true identities. "They were cheated! And they even burned people to death!"
Fan Li immediately became alert and quickly stopped the old man and asked: "Who was burned to death?"
He came all the way here, don't just burn the person he's looking for...
The old man also felt that it was strange. The combination of these three people looked very strange. Fan Li didn't look so stunning under a pair of stunning men and women, but it still couldn't cover up his deep temperament, and Shi Yiguang definitely wouldn't know such a person.
Since she is not an acquaintance, why do you want to ask her closely about her affairs?
Seeing that something was wrong with the old man's expression, Fan Li also guessed the suspicion in his heart, and quickly excused himself: "This... the fire is burning so hard... I just asked more, if it's not convenient to tell me...
"
The old man thought it was normal, and since he was already enthusiastic, he quickly dispelled his doubts and spoke again:
"What's the inconvenience? Well, there was only a mother and daughter left in that family. The mother was originally a very virtuous person, but after the man ran away, she started drinking heavily and became drunk every day for three days!" The old man said to Shi Yiguang!
She was also very sympathetic to her experience, "The daughter of that family, although she is really not likeable, she is really a kind girl. She is kicked and kicked by that crazy woman every now and then... I won't say it anymore.
It’s gone! Even if the crazy woman dies, it doesn’t affect Yi Guang, so it’s a good thing!”
Fan Li was not very touched after hearing the cause of the incident. In such an era of war and chaos, such things were not surprising, but his attention was still focused on the matter of searching for the person - "Miss Yiguang you are talking about,
But your surname is Shi?"
The old man nodded. He was not surprised. After all, it was widely known in the neighborhood that Shi Yiguang was ugly and frightening.
He had never seen Shi Yiguang take off his veil, but thinking that the little girl usually helped him with things and had an excellent figure and voice, he was very disdainful of the rumors of judging people by their appearance. He had worked hard all his life and never saw anyone.
Yes, but it is true that there are not many people as kind-hearted and gentle as girls from the Shi family.
After all, most people in this world have evil intentions hidden under their beautiful appearance, but there are not many women like Shi Yiguang.
"Yes, Yi Guang usually not only dances for those young masters outside for fun, and gets such a meager reward, but also makes money by making clothes for other people when he comes back. He is already very poor, and all his money is given to that crazy woman.
I used it to buy wine, but now my house has been burned down, what a miserable life it is!"
The old man walked away on crutches. Fan Li was still thinking. When he wanted to ask where Shi Yiguang was now, the old man had disappeared.
But Dongfang Yaoyao sneered——
"We are really on time when we come. It just so happens that people are in dire straits right now. I think Shi Yiguang meets your standards quite well. Why don't you give it a try first?"
Fan Li did not refute immediately. He also felt that Shi Yiguang was indeed a good seedling that could be cultivated. At least judging from the current situation, there was a high possibility that he could take advantage of the situation and take advantage of this woman.
Shi Yiguang fell into Fan Li's arms unpreparedly. Although the woman's face was not pleasing to the eye, her soft body was truly graceful. Fan Li, who was holding her body, was also frightened because the woman's body had already
He was completely leaning on himself. After all, he was still a normal man. Such treatment was really heart-wrenching. When he got closer, he could smell a soft fragrance.
Shi Yiguang also immediately pushed Fan Li away, but still held his hands on his chest, as if a woman was taking advantage of a man. After she realized it, she quickly withdrew her hands, her face red as blood under the veil.
"I, I, I...I didn't mean it!"
Her fingers were also very delicate, as if a small animal was scratching his chest. Fan Li's face also flashed an imperceptible blush, which completely turned into anger under Dongfang Yaoyao's evil smile.
.
"Have you had enough fun? What good will it do to you if you offend other girls?!"
Anyway, Dongfang Yaoyao was bored all the way, and Gui Ming listened to her advice and was strict in some aspects, which was really boring. After this, the only fun left was teasing Fan Li.
It's not that he doesn't understand the style at all, this is an opportunity for Dongfang Yaoyao to take advantage of. So in the past few months, he has done many things that are completely beyond Fan Li's expectations. It's a pity that it is really harmless.
That's why the man didn't completely collapse.
It's just that the man in front of me may only have an impression of him now as "a beautiful female gangster".
The woman in red still retorted sarcastically, her eyebrows fluttering wildly——
"Oh, isn't that what you said? Besides, you are the one who is rude to others, and you are the one who makes moves!"
Fan Li almost rolled his eyes in anger at Dongfang Yaoyao. She was the one who suddenly pushed him over, and now he was at fault.
Wouldn't it be even more inappropriate for him to just watch her fall in front of him?!
Just when Fan Li was thinking about how to punish Dongfang Yaoyao, who looked dishonest even at a critical moment, Shi Yiguang suddenly bowed and saluted——
"Many...thank you three for helping me. There are no words to repay your kindness...Yi Guang has nothing to repay now..."
As a result, Dongfang Yaoyao also looked at her with very explicit eyes, and what he said was indeed extremely misleading——
"Since you want to express your gratitude, Miss Shi might as well make friends with us, so that we can get to know her better!"
"Eh?" Shi Yiguang raised his head and looked at Dongfang Yaoyao, but he could only see calmness and clarity in her eyes.
Because of her face, few people have come close to her since she was a child. They all avoid her, and no one wants to be friends with her. Who wants to have a close relationship with such an ugly woman?
?It’s good if it doesn’t make you sick!
And now, are three people with apparently extraordinary backgrounds actually taking the initiative to be friends with me?
Shi Yiguang only felt that what he experienced in this short day was really worth all the fantasy in the first half of his life. It felt a bit unreal.
As a result, Dongfang Yaoyao didn't miss any opportunity and pushed Fan Li's shoulder with his elbow——
"Actually, he is the one who brought us to you! If anything, the one I want to know most about you is Master Fan Li!"
Shi Yiguang is not a little girl with no eyesight. Even if Dongfang Yaoyao's words are easily misunderstood, she won't think too much about it. Fan Li is a man of extraordinary bearing at first glance. She - just with her face,
She doesn't deserve it! How dare she think about anything unnecessary?
"That being the case, Mr. Fan can do whatever he wants from me. As long as it's within my ability, I won't refuse!"
Even though she knew she couldn't help much, the kindness shown by others was worth such a promise from her.
But she never imagined what would happen next, let alone what she would encounter.
And Gui Ming, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke——
"We appeared so accidentally, you never doubted that... this was just a premeditated design?"
But Shi Yiguang was just stunned for a moment, and then followed his heart and gave an answer——
"I don't think you are bad people, and I don't have any designed value, right?"
The inferiority complex rooted in his bones was clearly revealed at this moment, and Gui Ming was stunned for a moment, and then became noncommittal.
"Who can say for sure? Even if it's not available now, maybe it will be soon."
"Miss Shi, did your home burn down due to flooding today... Why don't you stay with us today until--"
Fan Li could now confirm that this girl was the one he was looking for, so he didn't waste any time. He planned to take her to the inn where he lived first, but the other party immediately shook his head and rejected his kindness.
"No, I still have a temporary residence at the place where I danced before. I'll ask the other party to dance and live there until I find a new place. It won't be a big problem!"
She had already accepted the other person's kindness, and now she was asking someone else to provide her with a place to live. Not to mention it was useless. Although she didn't have much so-called self-esteem, she would not choose to accept Fan Li's charity as long as there were other ways.
Fan Li did not expect that she would be so resistant to his help. He felt that he had hurt her, but he did not know how to resolve the embarrassment, so he had to remain silent. Dongfang Yaoyao saw the subtle atmosphere between the two and actually proposed
——
"I really want to appreciate your dancing, Miss Shi. How about we go there with you first?" He walked to Fan Li and winked, "And we are not worried about you going there alone, so we can't go there together."
It’s safe!”
Shi Yiguang felt that there was no good reason to refuse Dongfang Yaoyao's proposal, and after looking at the woman's earnest eyes, he agreed.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
The four of them walked through the graveyard, then through the flowing stream, and then through the noisy market, and finally came to an elegant and unique small courtyard. Although it was elegant, it was extremely low-key and luxurious. It could be seen that it was definitely not an ordinary small courtyard.
The open design also makes people feel that it is a quiet place for enjoyment. It is obviously a place where elegant young men usually hang out and hang out. Fan Li also likes the atmosphere here very much. He thought that Shi Yiguang would perform in a place of dust, dust and fireworks, but he didn't expect it.
It is such a pure place.
And a woman who looked old but still had charm walked out of the room at the deepest part of the courtyard. When she saw Shi Yiguang walking slowly, she quickly stepped forward and held the woman's hand.
"Yi Guang! I heard Uncle Liu say that your family has trouble... your mother still..."
Shi Yiguang nodded, his eyes dim, and he held the woman's hand, trying to draw some warmth from her body.
"It's okay, the person has been buried. These are some friends I met before. I brought them here for you to see..."
Aunt Xu thought that although a woman like Shi Yiguang could not make friends at all, there should not be many people who could appreciate her... But she never expected that she would bring three friends at a time, and three of them
Still such an amazing person!
Fan Li obviously has an extraordinary temperament, and the appearance of Dongfang Yaoyao and Gui Ming is really shocking. Putting aside the extremely handsome beauties like Dongfang Yaoyao, a deep and beautiful man like Gui Ming is really too beautiful.
not enough!
Aunt Xu looked at the three of them in a daze, and she didn't react until Shi Yiguang pulled her arm.
"Oh oh oh! This...Yi Guang! You have such an excellent friend, why didn't you introduce him to me earlier?"
Of course, Aunt Xu could see that the three of them were of prominent status and it was impossible for them to stay and work in her restaurant, but being able to get to know such noble people would be a big help to her business.
But fortunately, since the three of them have an unusual relationship with their top dancer, I think it will definitely bring a lot of positive influence.
This place is usually a place to receive noble ladies, and because Shi Yiguang is extremely good at dancing and has a good figure, the seats are really full during the performance, and the noble ladies often come from afar.
Invite Shi Yiguang to their house as a guest.
As for the previous rumors, they were completely fabricated by those who were jealous of Shi Yiguang's reputation. Not to mention that although Shi Yiguang looked unpleasant, she was a dancer with real skills, not someone who relied on makeup to attract people's attention.
The gaudy stuff is comparable!
Although this is not the first time for Aunt Xu to see Shi Yiguang dance, she is always amazed by her performance. Her graceful figure, her touching dancing posture, and her smooth singing voice are all treasures that can make people enchanted and addicted.
?
This girl made Aunt Xu proud, and even won applause from everyone with her own abilities!
As for her other abilities and qualifications, you still need to meet and examine her carefully before you can make a decision!
In a corner of the mass grave, Shi Yiguang was sitting on his knees in front of the newly added grave, looking dejected.
Even though this woman drinks alcohol all day long and often beats herself, she is still his biological mother and has given him care...even if it was only for a very short time...
I remember when my father was still alive when I was a child,
But if the person is gone like this, how can I not be sad?
After such an accident, she, an orphan, couldn't even raise the money to pay for her mother's funeral...
While the woman was feeling sad, there was a sound of horse hooves, and then a group of people jumped out of the deep forest.
When a group of bandits saw Shi Yiguang alone, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they dismounted their horses, forcing Shi Yiguang to retreat continuously.
"You...what are you going to do?" Her figure was still beautiful even though her face was covered, and her voice was also extremely sweet, which immediately made these guys horny.
But one of the bandits looked at Shi Yiguang and knew that she was a well-known ugly girl. After dismounting from his horse, he and his companions started talking -
"Out here in the wilderness, I thought I met a pretty little lady, but I didn't expect it to be that ugly ghost!"
"Ugly ghost?" His companion was stunned for a moment, then remembered the rumors nearby, and his expression became teasing, "Oh oh oh! Is that the ugly ghost Shi Shi who is said to be able to scare people out of their wits?"
But the man who was still determined to be evil walked forward and looked at Shi Yiguang's body with almost licking eyes——
"If you don't look at the face...the figure and skin are top-notch...there is still value in enjoying it!"
As he spoke, the man licked his lips and moved closer, his eyes becoming unscrupulous.
The woman turned around and was about to run away, but her arm was grabbed, and the man came over to her with a leering face, smelling of alcohol.
"Don't come here...don't-!!!"
Shi Yiguang pushed hard, and the man suddenly fell to the ground. Several other bandits were also angered by the woman's resistance, and they surrounded him.
"Stop!!!" Fan Li shouted loudly, stopping the men who were about to hold Shi Yiguang hostage, "You are too arrogant to do such a thing in broad daylight!"
"Who do you think you are?! Stop minding my own business!" As he said that, the gangsters took out their weapons, but Fan Li did not flinch at all. At this moment, Shi Yiguang was helped up by Gui Ming.
She had never seen such a handsome man, who looked like a god, and Dongfang Yaoyao who appeared next to him was so beautiful that she felt ashamed.
It wasn't like she had never seen beauties before, but it was truly unprecedented that she could be as flawless as the two people in front of her.
Men are like dark jade, deep and restrained but overflowing with brilliance; women are like bright flowers, beautiful and charming with an irresistible fragrance.
Although the man who was the first to speak out to help him was not as good as the other two in appearance, he still had an extraordinary aura that no one could ignore.
Why do these three people appear in such a place, and why do they help me?
Shi Yiguang couldn't figure it out, but what happened next was far beyond her imagination.
Just when those men's weapons were about to fall on Fan Li, a gust of black wind blew by. In an instant, those men lost consciousness and fell to the ground. There was a muffled sound of weapons and bodies hitting the ground. But the three of them were still standing.
On the spot, the woman even casually kicked the gangsters who lost consciousness for a moment, showing a look of disdain.
Dongfang Yaoyao didn't even bother to take action against these bandits, and Gui Ming also looked disgusted. The two of them didn't want to get involved too much with mortals, and now they just took action to help Fan Li fulfill his promise.
Shi Yiguang's veil was also taken off in the fight just now, and a pitted face was exposed. The woman covered it almost subconsciously. Although the two people she just faced had no expression on their faces, they obviously didn't.
So pretty.
The woman felt even more that her ugly face had offended the two of them, and she apologized repeatedly——
"I'm sorry...I...I didn't mean to..."
The moment she raised her eyes, Fan Li had already picked up the veil she had dropped on the ground. He didn't mind the strange look on her face at all, and gently and carefully helped her put all the sources of confidence and strength in her ears again.
"It's fine, it's okay. Are there any injuries?" Fan Li also helped her to dust off the leaves and dust on her body, "It's better for me not to worship alone in a place like this. I can handle my mother's death."
I understand, but a woman should not walk alone in the wilderness."
His gaze didn't shy away at all, and he looked directly into her eyes. This was the first time she looked at a man like this, and she couldn't see any disgust or hypocrisy in Fan Li's clean and deep eyes.
What kind of pure kindness was that? There was no sarcasm, no disgust, no unnecessary emotions, and it was not a disguise to get close to her.
What Shi Yiguang didn't know was that just such a look made her give up all the enthusiasm and all the love she could give in this life, but she failed to receive any sincerity or feedback.
Just like a moth, it flutters towards the only light that is the heart of this life, but is burned to the ground!
"me……"
Indulging in such a rare look, Shi Yiguang was suddenly exposed for a moment, swinging his arms in a panic, while Dongfang Yaoyao was also amused by her innocent reaction.
"Oh, oh, oh~" She patted Fan Li's shoulder mysteriously, deliberately closing the distance between the two of them, "Is it possible that this girl is interested in you? Our Mr. Fan is so charming~~~"
Fan Li just knocked off her outstretched arm and coughed twice——
"It's just basic greetings. Besides, I have just escaped from danger, so please stop making trouble!"
After getting along with each other recently, Fan Li has finally figured out Dongfang Yaoyao's behavior. To put it bluntly, she is a female hooligan who acts frivolously! Not only does she act recklessly, but she is also extremely pampered. Even a good appearance cannot hide her true nature as a hooligan!
And Gui Ming looks like a gentleman, but in fact he is just a dull gourd who obeys his master, and his obsession with Dongfang Yaoyao has even reached a pathological level!
Paralyzed by the beauty of these two people, Fan Li didn't have any unnecessary feelings now. Instead, he felt that ordinary women like Shi Yiguang were the ones he should get in touch with.
"Okay, okay! As long as I don't make trouble!" The woman smiled sinisterly and pushed Shi Yiguang hard, and she fell towards Fan Li unprepared.
