After taking his seat, Mu Wan secretly glanced at Gaoyue Jun from time to time.
She is so beautiful that even women can't help but want to look at her more.
This table is either big or small, with five fixed glazed chairs at just the right distance, so that acquaintances won't feel too far away, and strangers won't feel too close. On the high rock wall behind, a wider stone platform protrudes, decorated with unknown plants. It looks like a seat or a couch. It should be the place where Satsuki-kun usually rests. Only now, she was sitting with them. Next to Shanhai was Shi Wuqi. She and Gao Yuejun were separated by an empty space, which made them appear far away.
A few graceful butterflies picked up the teapot and helped them pour water. Spirit Butterfly is small but very powerful. Phosphorus powder on the wings was shaken off into the quilt, and the liquid in the cup turned light blue. The two of them didn't dare to touch the cups, but Shi Wuqi didn't know how many more cups he had in front of him. Shanhai looked at him repeatedly and was basically sure that he was the person he was.
"When did you come?" Mu Wan asked him, "Do you know...how long have we been looking for you?"
Her tone hesitated for a moment, but Shi Wuqi just shook his head and said lightly: "Not long after, we chatted for a few words. She knows that you are looking for her, and she also knows about Wan Guizhi."
The two looked at Satsuki-kun again. I don't know if it was because of the color tone or the environment, but she still smiled slightly, but it still made people feel cold.
"Don't worry, you two. I won't make things difficult for you like Wu Yin did, nor will I speak like a lion like Shou Gongduo. Those kids just like to mess around. If you have any questions, just ask them. As for the exchange, it’s easy to say.”
As expected, every move they made was watched by Gao Yuejun. Mu Wan looked at Shan Hai. He had no intention of speaking, but she speculated that Shan Hai was destined to ask about Wan Gui Zhi's whereabouts. He made a gesture of invitation, indicating that she should talk about herself first.
"I think you may all know our problems." She asked tentatively.
Satsuki-kun shook his head.
"I will never know what I don't tell you personally. Things in this world are done by some and watched by others, but no one can guess what's going on in my heart."
Mu Wan took a deep breath. The cold air chilled my lungs.
"I want to know, where is the leader of the Xue Yan Sect?"
"So, what do you give in exchange?"
"What do you want?"
"What do you want to give?"
At this time, Shi Wuqi suddenly said: "You have to exchange it for something equally important."
Mu Wan knew this subconsciously. She thought for a long time, wondering if there were any other important items on her body. Although it was important to reveal the leaves of the paper umbrella, she could not move forward without it. Maybe Shikigami can, but Tengu can't give it, and it can't be given. She had saved Bai Di's life once and was very loyal, so she couldn't bear to part with him. Not to mention Han Shui Ji, it's not clear who replaced her - not to mention that in comparison, the master is more important than asking about the whereabouts of the shikigami, which is what she has been running for.
...Maybe there are important things. She vaguely felt that if she exchanged this cheap thing, Satsuki-kun would agree - she had this intuition.
Whether she wanted to part with it or not...she couldn't tell clearly. That thing is very ordinary. If it were those people under her, they would definitely look down on it, but Gaoyue-kun couldn't be sure. They all clearly realized that she was not a money-grubber. Mu Wan was very hesitant. This thing was prepared for her by her parents. She has been carrying it with her since she was born, and rarely pays attention to it. But if you suddenly want to give it to someone else, it’s really hard to get it out.
Satsuki-kun just stared at her. Mu Wan was very entangled in her heart, and the movements of her hands were also slow. She slowly stretched her hands to her waist.
The sachet is missing.
First there was a brief blankness in his thoughts, followed by a burst of panic. Even though it was cool here, she still felt hot on her face and anxious. She groped around in panic, but couldn't find the sachet.
Shan Hai seemed to have guessed what she was looking for, and he asked tentatively:
"Did you...lost it on the road?"
Shan Hai didn't mention anyone's name, but Mu Wan knew it. Her movements froze and she responded dryly, maybe.
Lord Gaoyue pursed his bloodless lips and smiled slightly.
"If you can't give it to me now, it doesn't matter. I can indeed tell you the whereabouts of your sect master - your master. As for what you were going to exchange... just treat it as having been entrusted to me, and I will take it myself. Got it."
Mu Wan didn't know what she meant. He was stunned for a long time and asked awkwardly:
"So you are... willing to tell me?"
Lord Gaoyue nodded slightly and stretched out four slender, onion-like fingers.
"I can answer you in four words."
"Please!"
"No more."
The other two people heard Mu Wan make a short "ah" sound, but they didn't even hear the tone clearly.
Shi Wuqi said cautiously: "Are you saying that he...is dead?"
"This is no longer the case." She still repeated these four words.
They didn't dare to breathe, let alone look into Mu Wan's eyes. She didn't know what it meant. She didn't say dead or where. She didn't say alive or where. How to understand these four words? Does it mean anything else? Something else... a pertinent meaning? Mu Wan was not sure. He just felt that his eyes were sore but he could not shed tears, and his throat was swollen but he could not speak. She preferred to believe that Gao Yuejun deliberately lied to her because she couldn't pay her - but it didn't seem like it.
Is he dead? It's not that she hadn't thought about this possibility, but when she heard such an answer, she still felt dizzy, as if a hornet's nest had been knocked over in her head, her ears were buzzing, her mouth was numb, and her eyes were having trouble seeing. .
"Mu Wan..." Shan Hai called softly several times before she heard him calling her.
"Oh, it's okay, it's nothing." She suddenly sat up straighter, her bright eyes widening, "Shan Hai, please ask, don't you have something important?"
It was hard to tell whether she was changing the subject on purpose, or trying to ward off an overwhelming flood of emotion. Now there is barely a dam blocking it. If the atmosphere continues to be silent, she will definitely be overwhelmed by this terrible silence.
"Um……"
Shanhai responded. After that, he took out something and placed it on the table, making a crisp collision sound. Several people looked at it and found that it was a black and smooth jade ring.
Mu Wan quickly wiped the water stains from the corners of his eyes and immediately asked him: "Isn't this... is this not with Aluan..."
Shi Wuqi only heard Aluan mention it before, but this was the first time. He stood up, stretched out his arm, touched the wrench, and looked at it. Immediately, he pushed the wrench to the side. The ring rolled all the way across the table, spun around, and stopped right in front of Satsuki-kun.
"Hei Yu's finger ring... Hei Yu and Bai Qiong are made from the same jade material. It is indeed rare to see this kind of jade without any impurities."
Maybe it’s worth finding out the whereabouts of Mankishi.
Satsuki-kun picked up the ring and looked left and right. He seemed to like it.
"It's interesting stuff, so what do you want to know?"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Shan Hai's mouth.
"I want to ask you... what is the purpose of the person who stole Wangui's will?"
Almost subconsciously, everyone opened their mouths slightly.
A surprising question.
It sounds a bit confusing at first, but after a little thought, you can realize that this question is very beautiful and amazing.
The answer to this question must be to kill two birds with one stone.
Lord Gaoyue glanced sideways slightly.
"I don't know who I am."
The air is quiet again.
Shan Hai's pupils dilated slightly. He didn't expect this answer, and so did everyone else. They all felt that Satsuki-kun knew everything and should not answer like this. Shan Hai tried to find the answer in her eyes, but her eyes were still so quiet, with no emotional fluctuations, as if she had just stated an ordinary and trivial matter.
Or maybe she knows but doesn't want to say it for some reason. This is also possible.
Shan Hai quickly considered all possibilities. If she decided to keep her mouth shut, it would be difficult to pry it open. Originally, he thought that after learning the thieves' motive, they could deduce the answers to many questions. In addition to regaining Wanguishi, they could even do more. But Satsuki-kun's answer made his plan ineffective.
Shan Hai put it bluntly:
"Are you serious that you don't know, or are you inconvenient to say?"
Shi Wuqi felt that this was indeed difficult to figure out. If he were an ordinary businessman, he would do his best to find ways to take money out of his customers' pockets. But in Satsuki-kun's case, the nature is different - the thing she asked for has no value to herself at present - even if no one knows the reason for doing this, maybe some magic can be used, after all, sustenance Emotional things are the trigger for many spells, and objects that have been used for a long time can also induce the spirit of mourning. Some things can even find ways to learn their master's secrets. He didn't know if Satsuki-kun wanted to get anything from them, but if he didn't answer this question, what he could get would be very limited. This is not what a businessman does.
So she is not a businessman? it's not true. At least among businessmen, she is the most intelligent type. The roles of villains were all played by her men. However, does this mean that she is kind?
"I really don't know," she said sincerely, "at least not now. We need time."
Shan Hai's eyes never left the black ring. Not because it's important - of course, it's important - but more importantly, Satsuki-kun's attitude. She didn't seem to want to let go, still playing with it with her slender fingers and her eyes wandering around. At this time, a spiritual butterfly came from nowhere and landed on the back of her finger, fluttering its wings gently and flying towards the bridge of her nose.
Then, it shook its wings and flew away briskly.
"If you insist on knowing... I can go check it out. Originally, the matter was not settled, so I shouldn't have accepted anything. But if you have other things to do and want to leave here, I will use this finger to report the news."
Lin Shanhai looked at her, their eyes were both terrifying and silent, and the silence could only read nothingness.
"If you ask where Wan Guizhi is now... you have to go east."
