Liu Ru opened her eyes and looked at the snow-white ceiling above her head.
Then there was no more nostalgia in bed. She got up, got dressed, and carefully traced her eyebrows and put on makeup in front of the mirror - this was what Su Ziye taught her.
In Su Ziye's words, beauty itself is a powerful weapon in a woman's body, and makeup is the best protection and maintenance for this.
Su Ziye taught Liu Ru meticulous makeup techniques in detail. After all, he himself was a top disguise master, and the makeup materials he used were all of top quality.
The reason why Liu Ru can repeatedly surprise everyone is that in addition to her natural beauty, makeup is also a very important part.
As for the people who could achieve or even surpass this effect without makeup at all, Liu Ru thought about it - probably only the Third Highness.
But His Highness the Third Highness is the kind of child who makes people jealous even to the point of being completely jealous.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"I'm still putting on makeup." Liu Ru said quietly.
In fact, in the past, Su Ziye and Liu Ru chose to live in the same room. On the one hand, it was convenient for plotting. On the other hand, Su Ziye's training for Liu Ru was all-round and blind, which also required long-term getting along day and night.
After such a long time, Liu Ru had actually vaguely understood that Su Ziye even regarded her as his first student to a certain extent. However, the age gap between the two was too small, and Su Ziye had never expressed this. , so for the time being, the most accurate description of Liu Ru should be that he is a follower of Su Ziye.
"The meal is ready, come out and eat." Su Ziye said outside the door, and then said nothing.
Liu Ru couldn't help laughing when she looked in the mirror.
Look at yourself in the mirror smiling very happily.
Su Ziye is really a very strange person, Liu Ru often thought this way before.
I think about it less now, but sometimes I still have such emotions.
In fact, he treated everyone with great respect. As for Liu Ru himself, he often felt like he was treating a guest.
For example, he would get up early to cook for Liu Ru, and then come over and ask him to eat like an old lady. For example, he would knock on the door outside.
It was hard to imagine that this was the cruel young man who had brutally nailed more than a hundred Imperial soldiers to death in the frozen wilderness.
Liu Ru has never really liked anyone. There was a moment when Liu Ru thought that she would never like anyone again.
But when this boy entered her world, she was more or less shaken.
But soon, Liu Ru realized that Su Ziye had never liked her, and she would not really like Su Ziye.
The relationship between two people may stay in this strange but harmonious subtle logic.
With this in mind, Liu Ru put some final touches on her face, stood up, and pushed out the door.
…
…
Today's breakfast is steamed buns.
Meat buns.
Food made by wrapping fermented dough with delicious fillings and then processing it with hot steam.
Snow-white and plump, it looks extremely alluring.
His Highness the Third Prince had already picked up a steamed bun that was still a little hot and carefully took a bite, as if he felt a bit burned. Liu Ru looked at Su Ziye who was wearing a white apron: "Are you going out today?"
Today is June 4th, and there are still two days before the start of Ye Ye's third trial.
In principle, there was no need to go out, but everything still had to be arranged by Su Ziye.
Su Ziye picked up a bun, took a small bite, and poured a little bit of balsamic vinegar and chili into it with a spoon. He took a big bite and said, "Yes."
The Third Highness looked at Su Ziye's actions and wanted to imitate him, but he stopped when he saw the red sauce.
"Where are you going today?" Liu Ru asked.
"It's not you going out today, it's me going out." Su Ziye said with a smile.
"Why?" Liu Ru looked at Su Ziye: "Aren't we together?"
The reason why they were separated yesterday was because two people only had one ticket, so only one person could enter the Hall of Stars.
But today is different.
"Because I want to do something that only Liu Ru can do. As for you, you still need to stay at home and continue special training." Su Ziye looked at Liu Ru and said with a smile: "Special training about the third trial."
Liu Ru nodded: "Then pay attention to safety."
"You shouldn't say this to me." Su Ziye looked back at Liu Ru and smiled: "You should say it to them."
"Who?" Liu Ru asked.
"You'll find out tonight." Su Ziye took another bite of the bun: "Maybe I can give you a test?"
"Let me think about it." Liu Ru pinched her temples: "Yesterday I got the real questions of the third test, and I appeared in front of them with my true face, so now I am innocent and guilty of carrying a treasure."
"And because neither Liu Ru nor Su Ziye can check their backgrounds, if I appear on the streets of Ye Ye today, I will definitely accept the corresponding test."
"Correct answer." Su Ziye nodded and said, "And I also have to go through some specific procedures, so going out today is not considered a deliberate fishing trip."
"I trust your judgment." Liu Ru looked at Su Ziye and said. "I'll wait for you right here."
"I can continue to play chess with Third Highness."
Hearing these words, His Highness the Third could not help but nodded.
She still prefers the company of others.
Although even if there is no one to accompany her, it will not have any impact on her.
"The Third Highness still has to go to class, and you have to continue special training. However, you can play chess during the break. I will put the chess box in the usual place." With that said, Su Ziye stood up and walked to the inner room.
Liu Ru looked at his figure and did not follow up.
She just looked back at His Highness: "Can you describe to me how he disguised himself as me?"
His Highness thought for a moment.
Then he silently raised the clipboard.
"Indescribable."
…
…
You Lie stood quietly in the middle of the street in Ye Ye City.
The scorching sun soared in the sky, illuminating people's shadows almost into a short line.
But there was no shadow of You Lie.
The pedestrians walking around seemed not to notice him at all. He seemed to be a ghost floating here.
Of course he's not a ghost, he's just waiting for someone.
Soon, a blond girl in white appeared in front of him. The girl was tall and graceful. She was a beauty that could attract passers-by's attention. However, in You Lie's eyes, she was just prey.
At that moment, You Lie began to move. He almost stretched his body into a long invisible black line in the sunlight. One second he was still standing in the distance like a ghost, but the next moment he was almost there. When he stood in front of the blond girl, he could directly see her ice-blue eyes.
He reached out and grabbed the girl's wrist, and then with a strong force, the two of them disappeared from the street almost simultaneously.
This scene was hardly noticed by anyone, and even if someone did, they just thought they were dazzled.
And in a dark space, You Lie's shadow appeared there silently, as well as the girl's wrist in his hand.
"Hello, Miss Liu Ru." You Lie said hoarsely, with a little joy and cruelty.
"Where is this?" Even though he was suddenly attacked, Liu Ru showed considerable composure.
"As expected of Miss Liu Ru, if she were an ordinary noble girl, she would either be screaming or crying at this time." You Lie looked at the prey in front of him and said with a smile.
Liu Rujing looked at the man in front of her. He looked about forty years old and had two obvious scars on his face. Although he looked calm, there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
Even though it was midsummer, You Lie still seemed a little too hot.
Especially in this dark space, where the temperature is almost still around sixteen degrees.
"Where is this?" Liu Ru repeated his question, still very calm.
"Don't worry, this is still Ye Ye City." You Lie licked his lips and said, "As we all know, the security of Ye Ye City is handled by the Snow Burial Society. No matter who it is, no one is willing to work in Ye Ye City or the Snow Burial Society. There was a conflict, so some special methods were derived.”
"These methods were given to you by Dark Star, right?" Liu Ru looked at You Lie and asked.
"The lady knows more than I thought." You Lie did not deny it: "In this case, please let the lady know more."
"What do you want?" Liu Ru looked at You Lie: "I don't know if I can give it to you."
"Yesterday, the lady took something away from the Hall of Stars. In fact, that night, there were many people waiting outside, wanting to catch up with the lady, but the lady never left. Maybe it was Carotes who provided it for you. "I have received protection, but I'm curious, why did this protection disappear today?" You Lie said hoarsely.
"Perhaps this kind of protection is no longer needed." Liu Ru said with a smile.
"I believe that Miss has already read the contents of that thing, so it doesn't matter even if you don't bring it with you." You Lie didn't hear clearly what Liu Ru meant for a while, but he still said to himself: "Miss, please bring it with you." I will leave the questions for the third test to you, so that I can ensure that the young lady will suffer less torture."
"Okay." Liu Ru nodded, then raised his left hand: "Here."
In her hand was a newspaper with a crimson border.
"Are you kidding?" You Lie looked at the other party a little angrily.
"I'm not kidding." Liu Ru smiled: "The first thing I did when I went out was to buy the Feixin Diary published today."
"Do you want to take a look?"
You Lie felt that the other party didn't take her seriously at all. She had obviously been caught in this place where no one cared about her even if her throat was broken, but the other party was still so calm and even dared to laugh at herself.
His expression instantly became ferocious: "Miss, you seem to have made a mistake."
Saying this, he instantly raised his right arm, and a black shadow instantly appeared in his hand, and then drew a cold line in the air.
In the next moment, a thin line of blood will appear on the bridge of Liu Ru's nose.
This is the mark made by the dagger.
But he never expected that before the next moment came, Liu Ru quietly took half a step back.
You Lie's dagger slashed in the air.
You Lie was stunned for a moment.
Liu Ru looked at him with an intriguing smile on his face: "I said, no one will hear you even if you scream here."
You Lie was shocked when he heard this. Before he could react, he saw Liu Rujing clenching her fist. In the next moment, she had crashed into You Lie's arms and punched You Lie in the chest. Chest.
You Lie didn't see her movements clearly, but at that moment he felt that his ribs were almost broken.
He had clearly withstood a huge blow, but his body was not knocked away by a single punch. It seemed that all the power was completely absorbed by his body. This was a very sophisticated fighting skill that required extremely fine control and use of power.
At that moment, You Lie couldn't hold back and knelt on the ground.
"You can't hold it back after just one punch. Qingyi's killer is so weak." Liu Ru mocked with a smile, while her movements did not stop.
The girl bent down, holding the other person's right hand with one hand, and gently broke it on the wrist with the other hand.
Just like breaking sugar cane, she broke You Lie's forearm.
You Lie's screams immediately echoed throughout the dark space.
At the same time, a black dagger also fell to the ground.
Liu Ru also picked up the dagger.
"Who is the Winter Singer who fell here? He is so uncivilized. Does anyone want him?" Liu Ru said as he kicked You Lie away from him who wanted to speak.
He hit the edge of the dark space, and then slowly fell to the ground from the air, while Liu Ru put the dagger into his arms contentedly: "Since no one claims it, I can only reluctantly accept it."
You Lie lay quietly on the ground, as motionless as a dead dog.
It's not that he can't move, it's that he doesn't want to move.
Even if he tried hard, he couldn't figure out why things took such a turn of events.
Everything was obviously going according to his plan, so why did something go wrong in the end?
Still such an outrageous deviation.
He didn't want to get up, because if he did, he would be doomed to continue being humiliated.
In this case, it would be better to lie on the ground.
He had already been punched to break his ribs and then broke his arm. Why was there any need for such a fight?
And just when he was acting like an ostrich, Liu Ru's footsteps had already come to him step by step.
"Do you need me to kill you?" Liu Ru asked quietly in front of him.
"Will you let me go?" You Lie said somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"You didn't cause me any harm, and I even picked up a spiritual weapon dagger." Liu Ru said lightly: "It's too late for me to thank you, why won't I let you go?"
"Of course, if you need me to kill you, please beg me and I will not refuse."
"Then please let me go, Miss. I promise that Qingyi will never cause any trouble to Miss in the future." You Lie promised without hesitation.
"Your guarantee doesn't have much effect, but since your attitude is still correct, that's it for today."
Saying this, Liu Ru bent down and quietly held You Lie's unbroken left wrist with his hand.
"Okay, take me back."
…
…
On the streets of Ye Ye City, Liu Ru and You Lie reappeared in the sun.
"Thank you." Liu Ru politely thanked You Lie and put the Fei Xin Diary into You Lie's hands.
"Take it back and give it to your young master." Liu Ru said quietly, then let go of the other party's wrist and continued to walk forward as if no one was watching.
It's like nothing happened.
You Lie squatted on the ground in pain, losing the Winter Singer. He no longer had the ability to hide under the sun.
He opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, and at the same time, a member of the Snow Burial Society wearing white uniforms appeared in front of him: "Sir, what happened?"
You Lie looked at the newspaper in his hand in silence, and then slowly spoke.
"What, nothing happened."
On the first page of the crimson-edged newspaper, there was this headline written in the largest font.
"Excuse me, Feixin Gym exclusively reports on the real questions of this third test."
"The first test question is."
"Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum."
