"Thank you for telling me this." Chenxing said politely, "Next, I have some questions. It's a personal problem...but not really. If possible, I hope you can tell me everything."
Long Miao thought for a while and nodded slightly. He was not absolutely assured of the woman in front of him, so it was difficult for him to truthfully tell everything he knew. All he can guarantee is to try not to lie.
"This can be a sensitive subject."
"You want to ask Utsuki-kun about it?"
"Yes, Qinghe Canhua." She said, "I will inevitably uncover some scars. I will treat you as a good relationship."
"If you say that, I'm afraid you have no intention of stopping asking questions." Long Miao smiled and said, "You can just ask. I have a lot worth saying about what happened that day."
"What did you see? Many people must have asked this question, and you even took the initiative to ask it."
"certainly."
So Long Miao told Chen Xing exactly what happened that day, as well as She Zishu who was listening. How he fought against the evil evil angel of that village, and how he rushed to the nearby mountains to look for traces of Uoyuki-kun. There was actually a long gap between the two events, as he was exhausted and briefly unconscious after the battle. He just struggled to wake up before dawn.
"When you woke up, the Evil Angel of Obscenity was still in the village?"
"Of course she has left. I think I succeeded in driving her away, or... in fact, this village is no longer of use value. Rather than fighting me to the death, she would rather get rid of me as a trouble and find the next target. .”
"You are very self-aware."
"Chen Nuxia, this is not a compliment. If you didn't mean it, just pretend I didn't say it."
"Then just think of it as a joke." Chenxing doesn't seem like someone who can joke. Her assessment of Long Miao's strength can be said to be accurate, but she chose the most unpleasant way of expressing it. "In short, after you leave there, immediately set off for the nearby hills to find Utsuki-kun's whereabouts, and then..."
"Then the scene I saw was no better than Ruyue-kun at the moment." Long Miao interrupted her.
"Maybe Cyan Xiangmei will be more separated."
"...Whatever you say."
Long Miao didn't want to argue with her. Of course he knew that Chenxing was the holder of the Liuli Heart and had it for hundreds of years. This sensitivity to "peers" is even stronger than the intuition for discovering magic weapons. He didn't want to make the scene too ugly, although it was unpleasant enough as it was. The woman in red just stood aside from the beginning to the end without saying a word. She was like a piece of furniture that belonged to this old house.
"We come from the village you mentioned." Zishu said suddenly.
"Is it……"
Long Miao seemed a little surprised, but not too surprised. He didn't smell the lingering scent of that place, because several people were covered in a special floral fragrance that he couldn't identify. But since they said so, it's not impossible.
"We fought against the traps she left behind. Those broken branches and leaves continue to absorb the power of the villagers." Chenxing stared into his eyes, "It seems that you are not so decent. Compared with the lives of those poor people, you are the most important person." What I care about are familiar people.”
She Zishu suddenly said: "Don't say that. Maybe he thought the village was fine. When we went there, the oleanders were well hidden. He might have thought that the matter was over, so he left with peace of mind. Bar?"
"No, I didn't." Long Miao said suddenly, "Just like Chen Nuxia said."
She Zishu showed a puzzled look: "Eh? You are really strange. Wouldn't it be better if I said it? Even if it's not the case, you can admit it as I said. In this way, you will look genuine. A good person."
"'Looks like' is a good word, but I don't bother telling such lies. To be honest, the life and death of people in the world have nothing to do with me. It was Lord Uoyue who taught me how to regard the entire world as my own. Part of it. I still don't understand what she said, but I'm at least willing to try to understand, to try to think in that way. So when the source of my thoughts is threatened, I should throw away some of the rest. I Not putting the framework I’m built on at risk, it’s that simple.”
"Simple? Your definition of simplicity is really different from mine."
"Then what do you think of Heroine Chen?"
"ah……?"
Chenxing didn't expect that he would turn around and general Yijun, but it wasn't like she hadn't thought about it. She paused for a while and then said to Long Miao:
"I have no interest in the safety of human beings. But the idea is not as troublesome as yours."
"What do you think?"
"There are too many people." She repeated, "Too many, not just now, but from the past. It should be said that this is a despicable and greedy species. Of course, this is true of all living things. Survival and reproduction are the first priority. It's instinctive. It's just that as one of them, I am particularly aware of all this. I am a businessman and have always been - I have been destined to this fate since I was born. There may not be absolute fairness in business. But all transactions will be established to meet the needs of both parties to varying degrees. Although there is no business, but in my opinion, this is the least despicable way. Money disguises high-sounding excuses and saves a lot of trouble. Even so , people still pretend to hate it.”
Long Miao looked at her and said nothing for a while. Not only did he fully understand this statement, he even supported the vast majority of it. But for some reason he always thought that this woman's ideas should be refuted. Why? Because Utsuki-kun definitely doesn’t think so. Unknowingly, she had exerted a subtle influence on him, and he gradually chose to accept it. If it were his past self, he would definitely believe that he would meet someone like Chen Xing too late, but now it's completely different.
"I respect your thoughts." In the end, he just said this.
There were too many irrelevant topics that even She Zishu couldn't listen to. Although the words of the conversation between the two were simple to her, the connotation was temporarily difficult to understand. She had to get the conversation back on track and get them on with what they were supposed to be talking about.
"Sorry for digressing." Chenxing said quietly, "I believe what you said. In fact, I determined your location through...the feathers on your body that I found in the mountains. You are very lucky, you have never leave."
"Bad luck for me. Not just me, but the other six realms of impermanence."
"So... have you seen with your own eyes that Yingyue-kun hurt Uoyue-kun?"
"Of course not. I said, I won't be able to make it by then."
"He fainted." Zishu reminded them "intimately".
"Is there a possibility: there is someone else who hurt Uoyue-kun, but left a message that made others mistakenly think it was Yingyue-kun."
To be honest, Long Miao was a little annoyed.
"What do you mean? Do you want to say that Uoyue-kun is lying to me?"
"That's not what I meant. Maybe she was also misled." Chenxing raised her hand to show that she had no ill intentions. She noticed the half-demon's anger. "My personal habit is to be more divergent and questioning in everything. If I offend you, I should apologize."
"No need." Long Miao said coldly, "There's no sincerity anyway. I used to be like you, but not now. Don't always feel that the whole world wants to lie to you and harm you."
"You must have been protected by Uoyuki-kun for too long."
"you--"
"Okay... then, it was Lord Yingyue who did it. Did Lord Uoyue say these words himself?"
"I said it myself." Long Miao tried to calm down. "The greedy evil spirit teamed up with her, framed her, and took the opportunity to take away the amber. Lord Maoyue's head... has been torn into pieces. For example, Lord Yue even more, 'dispersed' '. As the night passed, her tongue recovered, and she just said the name. I don't know if she couldn't say more, or if she was afraid that I would act impulsively. It wasn't until she rested for a long time without Amber that she finally told the story. Tell us the truth as it is."
"you?"
"Ah, yes." Long Miao realized what he said, "There is also a peacock spirit. He is a lord, and he is also..."
"Kong Lingbei?"
"you know?"
"I can only say that I know." She said, "I checked and found out that my father...had tried his best to be deceived everywhere, and finally got the important magic weapon, Liuli Heart, from him."
"This... is really unexpected."
"I don't know him." Chenxing shrugged, "After all, I've never seen him before. However, he must be a businessman with some skills. I like to deal with such a guy, whether he is a monster or not."
Long Miao didn't know how to evaluate it.
There was a long silence, and the three of them were each thinking about their own things. Occasionally, from the next room, the sound of discussion between Bai Skeleton Master and Ling Huan can be heard, but the loud part is only temporary, they seem to be chatting in good spirits.
Finally, Chenxing spoke again.
"You have already, on behalf of Lord Maoyue, admitted Yingyue Lord's rebellion. I originally wanted to ask Lord Maoyue to confirm again, but time may not allow. The noisy girl from the Ye family fell ill on the road and was delayed for a while. "
"You still care about humans." Taki Miao teased.
“She was important — in every way.”
"Let me tell you something you may not like to hear. That child seems to have some kind of demonic nature. Is it because of ghost hands?"
"Even you know about the ghost hand. Apart from that, is there no other reason?"
"Oh." Takimiao said perfunctorily, and then said, "I hope you can go see Uoyuki-kun. Since you can't stay and take care of Kisaragi-kun for me, I can't get there for a while, so I'd rather entrust you with it. Of course, you It’s up to you to decide, I don’t mean to force you or beg you to do anything.”
"Where is she?"
"It's not far." Takimiao added, "And there should be someone around her to help. I mean...that peacock monster."
Chenxing fell into deep thought and didn't know how to make a decision. She was already in a one-on-one meeting game. It was a good thing to be able to omit steps, but she couldn't omit too much information. In fact, she already knew clearly that it was impossible to expect Mr. Yingyue to tell the truth to her. But what exactly is Guixiangu’s plan? Why did she drag herself into all this? She is still very concerned about her own affairs. And people like Uoyue-kun might be able to bring her some unique insights.
Although their ideas may not be compatible.
"Do you have any idea where Mr. Yingyue is?"
"I don't have any clue. But Uoyuki-kun may know something. I didn't mean to trouble you, let me explain it first."
"knew."
Anyway, apart from that, Chenxing himself doesn’t know what else to do.
