I don't know where a cold arrow came from, directly killing the jailer.
The jailer's eyes widened and he fell to the ground unwillingly.
Sheng Yi froze in place, his face splattered with blood.
Tuoba Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Yi'er, are you okay?"
Sheng Yi shook his head stupidly, "I'm fine."
Tuoba Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
"Yi'er, this guy is just a lunatic. Don't pay attention to him. Let's keep walking."
Tuoba Zhu walked in front, and Shenyi followed behind.
Finally, the two arrived at their destination. From the outside, they saw a particularly ordinary small courtyard in front of them.
Tuoba Zhu looked at Sheng Yi with a sweet smile, "Yi'er, I'll let you live in this place for the time being. When the matter is resolved, we can return to Kyoto right away."
Tuoba Zhu took a few steps forward, but found that Shenyi showed no sign of following him.
She couldn't help but tremble, could it be? Did she find anything? But soon, this idea was rejected by Tuoba Zhu.
Shengyi held up the hem of his clothes and followed closely behind Tuoba Zhu.
The two of them walked all the way from outside the courtyard to the courtyard. Sheng Yi pretended to say casually, "Auntie, it's really hard for you and your brother. You actually found so many servants to take care of me."
When Tuoba Zhu heard this, he said in a joking tone, "Of course, after all, you are the princess."
Kindly smiled back but said nothing.
Arriving at the door of a house, Tuoba Zhu knocked on the door four times. When the door opened from the inside, Tuoba Zhu walked in.
Sheng Yi followed closely behind, and the door was quietly closed the moment the two entered.
The layout of the room looked like a study. There was a person sitting on the chair in the middle, with his back to them.
The man only showed a pair of big, well-jointed hands, playing with the feather fan in his hand.
Tuoba Zhu stood in front and saluted the man respectfully. "Young Master, I have already brought you."
Before he finished speaking, Tuoba Zhu, who had not yet straightened up, was directly pinched by Sheng Yi.
Sensing the undisguised murderous intent in Sheng Yi, Tuoba Zhu panicked: "Sheng Yi, what are you going to do?"
"It's been really hard for you to accompany me all the way through this acting." After Sheng Yi finished speaking, he mercilessly broke the fake Tuoba Zhu's neck.
Until his death, the fake Tuoba Zhu did not understand why Shenyi followed her to the young master's residence since he had already seen through her tricks.
After dealing with the counterfeit, Shengyi wiped his hands in disgust, and then looked at the man sitting on the chair without any concealment.
A subtle friction sound resounded in the silent space. The man on the chair slowly stood up and met Sheng Yi's eyes.
"It's you!" Sheng Yi recognized the man in front of him at a glance. It was the man who made the clay figurine with him that day.
The man was quite curious: "How can you be sure it's me at a glance?"
Sheng Yi snorted, "Don't think that no one will recognize you if you change your mask. Those eyes of yours are unforgettable."
The man's hand slowly touched the mask, seemingly surprised. "These eyes of mine are unforgettable? Why?"
Sheng Yi didn't answer the question. After Zilaixue took a bench and sat down, Sheng Yi patted his stomach politely and said he was hungry.
The man smiled angrily, "This is my territory. As a hostage, shouldn't you be afraid?"
Sheng Yi tilted her head and asked, "Why should I be afraid?"
The man was caught off guard and choked. After living for so many years, this was the first time he met someone like Sheng Yi who was not afraid of death.
A flash of interest suddenly emerged in his heart, and the man became curious about what Shenyi would do next.
The servant opened the door and brought several plates of pastries. He picked up a piece of cake and put it into his mouth with good intentions. While eating, he did not forget to complain, "The pastries made by your cook are much worse than those in the palace. Remember to change them to better ones next time." cook"
Men have gradually become accustomed to Genyi's shamelessness.
After having a good meal and a drink, the man brought up the question again.
Sheng Yi burped in an inconspicuous manner, with a lazy smile on her lips that was exactly the same as Feng Yan's.
"No matter who is doing anything, there will be seven emotions and six desires in their eyes, whether they are sad or happy, happy or sad, but you, your eyes are empty and lifeless, without any brilliance, like a pool of stagnant water."
"It seems that nothing in this world is worthy of entering your eyes."
The man frowned and didn't speak for a long time, but his eyes stayed on Sheng Yi's face for a long time.
Sheng Yi continued: "From the outside, you are no different from ordinary people, but if you look closely, you will find that you are different everywhere. Other people's emotions and desires all emerge from the heart unconsciously, but you are not. All the seven emotions and six desires are just pretense.”
"If I'm not wrong, you have been ruthless and desireless since you were a child. For some reason, you began to guess the expressions on normal people's faces and imitate them. Tell me, my guess is correct."
After a long while, the man's voice without any emotion sounded, "I didn't expect that we have only met twice, but you are the one who understands me best."
Sheng Yi picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip. "Hasn't anyone ever told you that your acting skills are terrible?"
This sentence seemed to open up a vent for the man that had been sealed for a long time.
The man seemed to have regarded Shenyi as his confidant, and he slowly told the story that had been buried for a long time.
"To sum it up, we have already had a connection before you were born. My mother was a maidservant of the eldest princess. By chance, she married my father."
"For some reasons, my father loved my mother very much, and he also loved me very much. But as I grew older, my mother discovered that I was different from ordinary people. I had no emotions, no tears, no laughter. I don't know when From then on, my parents began to distance themselves from me, and finally even abandoned me."
The man's calm attitude was as if he was telling someone else's story, but that was his advantage.
Sheng Yi completely forgot about her situation. She put her chin on her hand and continued to ask curiously, "What happened next?"
The man spoke a cruel truth: "No one can control my destiny, so I killed them all."
Even though she was already prepared in her heart, Sheng Yi was still shocked by what the man did.
Those were his biological parents. They would take action as soon as they were told. It would be too scary to be ruthless and desireless.
Enduring the discomfort in her heart, Sheng Yi locked her sharp eyes tightly on the man in front of her.
"When you did it, did you really have no reaction in your heart?"
The man shook his head, his tone was like a child's, and asked simply, "Then how should I react?"
