The younger sister knew that her words had touched her brother's pain point.
"I know I can't give them my parents' things, but we should listen to them. Our own survival is the most important thing."
Shaohong ignored his sister's words at all. In his eyes, protecting his parents' relics was the most important thing. If he couldn't do this, he would be ashamed of his status as the eldest son.
"Stop talking." Shaohong waved his hand to his sister, indicating that he wanted to be quiet.
Shaoqian understood what her brother meant and walked aside. It was impossible to say that Shaoqian didn't want to protect her parents' relics, but what she was more concerned about was her brother who had changed because of it. The original brother was a just and kind person, but now in order to become stronger He doesn't hesitate to hurt everyone, including himself. Now his brother has become extremely stubborn and feels irrational.
("One day I will know the truth about my parents' death.")
Such a voice echoed in Shaohong's heart. He would never let his parents die inexplicably.
.....................
Kumu knew that the suspicion of the Hall of Light would not be eliminated so quickly. Even if his identity was not discovered, the suspicion would be turned in another direction, such as the relationship between characters.
Kumu reminded himself to be more careful with strangers and unfamiliar people in the days to come.
Kumu packed himself up and prepared to go to school. Relatively speaking, once he got to school, there wouldn't be so many troublesome things. The Hall of Light would not blatantly track down an uncertain suspect to the school.
After adjusting his appearance, Kumu was still unclear about the visit of the Investigation Department. Kumu vaguely remembered the two people he defeated at the Investigation Department. The Investigation Department probably came for that matter.
(“It’s so nerve-wracking.”)
Deadwood Annoyance is now on the tracking list of the two major forces. Regardless of whether it is good or bad for him, Deadwood does not want it.
Deadwood won't reveal his identity in the short term, but he has to think about his options just in case.
Walking onto the street heading to school, Kumu was going to go see Master Canglan.
"Um?"
Dead Wood saw a beautiful figure appearing in front of him. Shelley was waiting for Dead Wood on the road that Dead Wood must pass. This was the only time she could get out of the abyss, so Shelley used this pitiful time to find Dead Wood.
"What's wrong."
While Kumu continued to walk his own way, he asked Shelley's purpose politely.
Shelley came to the dead wood playfully, not caring about the indifference shown by the dead wood.
"I know you have many misunderstandings about me. I was forced by the abyss."
Shelley told himself that he had no choice but to succumb to the abyss. It was not his intention not to help Deadwood at that time.
Kumu nodded, "Understood, then why are you looking for me? Aren't you afraid that Yin Abyss will find out?"
According to Shelley's explanation, Kumu felt that Shelley should cut off contact with him.
"You'd better come to me less often. I don't want to deal with the abyss anymore."
Kumu couldn't help but quicken his pace. If Yin Yuan saw a woman like him together again, he would be in trouble again.
Seeing Dead Tree quicken his pace, Shelley also trotted up.
"I'm here to tell you to let you know that I'm not that kind of person."
Shelley repeated her purpose of coming to see dead wood. She still hoped that dead wood wouldn't hate her so much.
Deadwood can't be said to dislike or like Shelley, but he just won't show up at any time, which will make Deadwood more troublesome. This is something that Deadwood, who is already very troubled, doesn't like.
Kumu ignored Shelley and came to Master Canglan's restaurant, and Shelley followed Kumu here.
"Are you going to eat?"
Shelley asked when he saw Dead Tree coming to the hotel.
Shelley looked at the empty store and felt that the restaurant was not running well. However, Deadwood came here. Shelley felt that there must be other reasons.
Kumu walked to the kitchen and called Canglan, "Master, why don't you come out when someone is outside the door?"
Kumu opened the kitchen curtain and saw the extremely busy Canglan.
Looking at the huge amount of dead wood and ingredients in front of him, he understood that Canglan had taken a big order regardless of his health.
"Whose banquet did you accept? I'm afraid you'll force yourself not to rest."
He came over to take a look just because Canglan was afraid that he would be overworked. The result was as expected.
Now Kumu is going to school and cannot help Canglan.
Canglan had no spare time to answer Kumu and still worked hard, telling Kumu the reason while stir-frying.
"This is an order from the Hall of Light. I have to accept it, and the reward is still very high."
"Are you doing it for so much money? You're just doing it for cooking."
Kumu knew his master very well, he was the kind of person who felt uncomfortable if he didn't cook for a day.
"You still have to go to school today, so go quickly."
Knowing that Kumu was just dropping by to see him, Canglan didn't want to delay Kumu's study.
Shelley listened to the conversation between master and apprentice. Although he didn't understand it very well, he could tell that the two had a good relationship.
("Why is he silent to me? He feels worse than his master.")
Shelley sat outside and waited for the dead wood to appear.
"Why is there a banquet in the Hall of Light?"
We must be clear about the purpose of the Hall of Light.
"It seems to be a celebration of the next head of the family's birthday and growth."
Canglan didn't know very well, after all, he only cooked.
("This young master should be that guy.")
Kuangmu, the young master of the Guangming Hall, had an impression that he had to force others to compete because he was out of his mind at that time, and even got into trouble with the Guangming Palace. The memories of that day make Kumu feel ashamed just thinking about it, and his normal self would definitely not be like that.
From what Canglan told Kumu, Kumu knew that the last few days were probably Zhengwen's birthday, and the previous activities should also be partly responsible for this.
However, due to his own reasons, Zhengwen probably won't have a happy birthday this time.
.....................
After talking to Canglan, Kumu reluctantly left the kitchen. If he wasn't cooking, he couldn't stay in the kitchen for a long time and disturb the chef.
Kumu walked to the front hall, then went straight to the door to leave.
Occasionally, he turned his head and saw Shelley, "Why haven't you left yet? If it takes too long, won't Yin Yuan come looking for you?"
Kumu originally thought that he would leave as long as he ignored her as a woman, but he actually followed her for so long, even waiting for him here.
"It's okay. I told him that I would be late at school today because I had to help my parents."
In Shelley's view, Dead Wood is a manifestation of fear of the abyss. After all, in Shelley's perception, Dead Wood is an incompetent person defined by the machine.
"Don't worry, he won't find out."
"Okay, let's go."
Deadwood urged Shelley to leave here quickly. At this time, Deadwood had an ominous premonition.
("Yin Yuan is not going to be crazy, right? If he is, he has nothing to do with this woman.")
Kumu Gang and Shelley were stunned when they stepped out of Canglan's restaurant.
Right in front of the restaurant stood the person Kumu wanted to see the most right now.
At this time, Yin Yuan was sweating profusely and panting. It looked like he had been exercising for a long time.
Seeing the Yin Abyss, Shelley's words were incredible. This was the path chosen by Deadwood. He had never been to the Yin Abyss several times, let alone once. The appearance of the Yin Abyss here could be described as a miracle. .
Kumu observed Shelley's expression and knew that she didn't know why the abyss appeared here.
When he walked around in the morning, he didn't notice anyone following him. When Shelley followed him later, he found no trace of anyone else. Combined with Yin Yuan's tired look, Kumu knew that Yin Yuan ran directly over, and Shelley was at a loss. If he knew it, then he would not tell Yin Yuan the location. So far, there was only one possibility.
Kumu touched his whole body with his hands and found nothing suspicious, so this thing might be on Shelley's body now.
After a rough guess, Kumu's face was calm. He had done nothing wrong and there was no need to be worried.
On the other hand, Shelley now wishes she had the ability to fly and fled the scene immediately. If Yin Yuan catches her this time, she will definitely not end it with a few words. Shelley knows her fate very well, but she doesn't want to accept it.
Ku Mu crossed his arms and said calmly, "Yin Yuan, you must have installed something like a tracker on Ji Dong or in the items on his body."
Kumu's words shocked Shelley and also Yin Yuan. Shelley had no idea that Yin Yuan would install a tracker on his body.
Shelley stared into the abyss with a mixture of disgust and anger.
When Shelley's eyes met Yin Yuan's eyes, he directly spoke angrily, "Don't look at me like a victim, and don't look at yourself. If it weren't for you, I would do this?"
Yin Yuan's words made Shelley retract his eyes and hide behind Kumu. Regardless of whether Kumu would care about him or not, at least now there was a harbor around Kumu that could give him a sense of shelter.
But the next moment this sense of shelter disappeared.
Kumu stepped aside and let Shelley out. Kumu told Yin Yuan, "Ji Dong came to me on his own and has nothing to do with me. Do you believe what I say?"
Yin Yuan smiled coldly and gloomily, "What do you think? You two came out of a restaurant and said it was okay. Do you believe it? Do you remember what I told you? What will happen if I see you and Shelley together again? Bar."
