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 Shuangyue-kun felt embarrassed. She wanted to reprimand the monster because he 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 in person, I really felt a little arrogant. Talented people have tempers, but Shuangyue-kun knows many capable and sensible people, such as the person next to him, so this person's behavior is enough reason to displease her.
But there is no way, he seems to have a good relationship with the Hundred Skeleton Master.
"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 thrown 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 has always been the only one to blame others, and he has never been scolded by others. He immediately retorted: "Penny-farthing? Do you know how much money those fools are willing to pay for this sword? You know how important money is in the human world, so I won't say more. Today's human beings The territory is constantly expanding, and in order to adapt to your life, many monsters are also trying 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 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 and courage to spend huge sums of money to buy it and seal it up and protect it. If there is such a person, I will not only be willing to sell it at a low price , and I am willing to help him. But everyone I deal with has evil intentions, and they don’t even bother to think of a good excuse. In this case, I think it’s okay to take advantage of others. Anyway, this weapon will definitely fall into their hands. If there's going to be bigger trouble, why don't you Six Paths of Impermanence come to wipe your ass? I'm responsible for monitoring the flow of swords, dealing with the troubles between humans and demons, charging reasonable fees, and reusing waste. Isn't this going to save you some trouble? Huh? You should thank me instead of shirk responsibility."
"you……"
Mr. Shuangyue was really furious. What kind of mountain king, what kind of lord, he is just a second-rate dealer, he just looks better and wears smarter clothes. They are all methods to deceive others and confuse people's hearts.
"You also know where the sword has gone 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. I don’t have to fight for unnecessary fights with my disgusting colleagues, and the sword will not escape from the Death Shadow Pavilion, and neither will I..."
Nor will he meet Xue Miyin.
Lord Shuoyue's words stopped abruptly. No, you can't say that. It's a good thing to at least save one life. If she hadn't been able to get to the depths of the ravine, she wouldn't have been rescued. No matter what the situation is now, she never regretted her good deeds. If she didn't save him, she would hate herself at that time.
"Then you should also blame the Death 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 I stole other people’s things, and now I’m still here to plausibly say it. Isn’t it a shame?”
"Since when did Resentment become your thing?"
Kong Lingbei was a little puzzled. He asked, "Why not? Anything should belong to the person in whose hands it is. Whether it is sold by me or stolen by others, as long as the thing is in whose hands, I will recognize that it belongs to that person." Object. Isn’t that person the owner of the object at the moment? I can snatch it back, and it will be mine again. Just like now, of course I agree that the sword is Wuwulan’s thing - or that day dog, Anyone. It’s not you or me.”
Lord Shuangyue wanted to say something more, but Shi Wuqi stretched out one arm to stop him, and picked up the tea with the other hand and drank it all. Fortunately, the small teahouse was lively enough to allow the noise of others to drown out their quarrels. Otherwise, if this conversation were heard clearly by others, they would definitely be shocked. 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. At 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."
Mentioning Lord Maoyue, Kong Lingbei became quieter and sat upright again. Mr. 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, picking up the teapot earlier than her and filling up the water for her. The tea was still hot, with curls of white smoke rising, and the fragrance of flowers mixed with the fragrance of tea filled the air.
Indeed, as Lord Xueyue said, there is a small city in this direction. When he first arrived in the city, Shuangyue Lord was still skeptical of his words. There are too many people here, it is really difficult to find someone, maybe he is just teasing me. However, before she left, she saw this monster in a rather eye-catching outfit. Although others cannot recognize the identity of Kong Lingbei's monster with their naked eyes, the eyes of Liudao Impermanence can. She followed him a few steps and then saw Shi Wuqi. The two of them were more or less surprised by this sudden reunion, so they first 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 Mao Yuejun, 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. Shi Wuqi was not stupid. It could be seen that his attitude towards Long Miao was not friendly, but he didn't say much. Long Miao told them that Lord Maoyue had gone to see the flower show in the north of the city and would not come back for a while. He asked them to find a place to rest nearby first and then inform her himself. This statement... does sound like something Uzuki-kun would do. When Lord Shuangyue saw the two of them, they said goodbye to Long Miao.
"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. Over 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?"
Lord 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 resentful, 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 didn't care about drinking, but Shi Wuqi didn't expose him and let him leave. After he leaves, some things will become easier to say.
"Sorry, about that girl...I have only heard bad rumors recently."
"It's okay, there's nothing to apologize for." Shuoyue Jun smiled reluctantly, "What I learned is not much better... I heard that she is with a monster."
"I have something to tell you." Shi Wuqi's tone became serious. He took out the opal, held it between his thumb and forefinger, moved closer, and whispered to Lord Shuangyue: "Through this thing, I learned about her past. You didn't tell me some of it, but I can guess it." Almost. This cat's eye stone allows me to see what she went through - all inhuman treatment. What she suffered may be much worse than you think. Don't think she is fragile. On the contrary, she can endure Now, that’s what surprises me. Also, at that time, you did blame her wrongly. It wasn’t her 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 figured it out. I'm afraid it was Amiao who did it. It wanted to Avenge yourself?"
"It guessed what Miss Xue would do for it. Killing people as revenge was actually not its own intention. In fact, Miss Xue did have murderous intentions, but the cat was just a step ahead of her to prevent her from becoming a murderer. Crime. Although, she already is."
"I just hope she's okay."
"She can't get better." Shi Wuqi was so straightforward. "She places you in her heart much higher than you think. So the degree 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?"
"I admit it! I'm just not ready yet."
"You have to face it."
