Chapter 2: Picking up a sister

"Surely no outsiders broke in during your stay?"

The sharp eyes of the chief manager Ji Guangcheng seemed to be able to pierce people's hearts, and in the face of his questioning, the head of the guard, Ling Gang, was a little hesitant. The guards guarding the Spirit Pool were his most loyal subordinates, and they couldn't have lied, but ...... Where did the pile of dirty laundry left at the scene come from?

It's a puzzling question......

"I've asked them all...... It is true that there are no outsiders intruding!" Ling Gang hesitated again and again, and finally decided to report the truth, "From the front gate to the spirit pool, there are six cordons along the way, and there are thirty-five checkpoints, and no abnormalities have been found that day...... As for where this basin of dirty laundry that appeared in the spiritual pool came from, I ...... Unexplainable!"

Unexplainable......

Hearing Ling Gang say this, Ji Guangcheng's brows became a mess. There are too many unexplained problems in this bizarre incident.

Obviously, there is still a year before His Royal Highness the Son of Heaven will be born out of the cocoon, why is it suddenly advanced?

The entire Lingxiao Palace is heavily guarded, why are there outsiders in the Lingchi?

If no outsiders break in, where do these dirty clothes come from?

How could a pool full of spiritual water disappear out of thin air?

There are so many problems that I can't explain......

"Except for you and the two guards guarding the door...... Does anyone else know about His Highness's disappearance in advance?" Ji Guangcheng weighed the pros and cons and thought about it again and again, and finally made a bold decision.

Seeing that Ling Gang shook his head very affirmatively, Ji Guangcheng said in a deep voice: "There is still a year before the Christmas millennium, and this matter must not leak any news. Especially the old guys...... After yesterday's incident, what happened on the Thirteenth Palace?"

"No...... Except that the Kang family sent someone to ask, if there was any damage to the Lingxiao Palace in yesterday's earthquake......"

Although Ling Gang wanted to intercede for the two guards guarding the door, he finally held back. The matter is so big that for the sake of secrecy, I can only silence it!

"The Kang family is in Shangjing, if they don't ask, it won't be normal......," Ji Guangcheng thought for a while and said, "Find an excuse to dismiss those two guards and let them go out to search in secret." You must bring your Highness back to me within a year!"

Hearing Ji Guangcheng's words, Ling Gang finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Let them make meritorious deeds, and they don't have to silence them...... Such an arrangement is indeed the safest, it is impossible for His Highness not to look for it when he is missing, and who can be more suitable than those two guards who know about it?

Ling Gang nodded and turned to leave, looking at his back as he left, Ji Guangcheng sighed secretly......

These guards, including Ling Gang, were all brought out by him, and he would never sacrifice anyone unless he had to.

One year, if it is within this year, His Highness can't find it...... Including him, the entire Lingxiao Palace is to blame!

Zhou Ze didn't know how much trouble he had caused, and he didn't know that this girl who was sticking to him was related to the fate of many people. All he knew was that if he didn't find two more clothes for her and himself...... I'm afraid I can't help but do something worse than a beast!

Although she looks like she is only fourteen or fifteen years old at most, as a girl, she has begun to develop, and she should have ...... It's basically there. And what impresses her the most is that there is an amazing beauty between her eyebrows that transcends her years.

A pair of bright eyes are clear and clear, flickering with unusual agility, as if there is a kind of aura overflowing, a shallow smile, dimples looming on the cheeks, there is a kind of dazzling beauty, white skin is like a freshly peeled egg, delicate and white, people can't bear to look at it directly...... Any mundane gaze falling on her face was a blasphemy.

With such a girl in this small cave, only Zhou Ze was wearing a pair of pants between the two of them...... And she still firmly wrapped her arms around his neck, hanging on him just wouldn't let go.

If it goes on like this, Zhou Ze will simply go crazy!

"Daddy...... Are you cold?"

Feeling Zhou Ze's involuntary trembling, the girl flashed her two big eyes and asked stupidly.

Hearing this inexplicable title, Zhou Ze felt a chill in his heart, and said with a gloomy face: "I'll say it again! Don't call me dad ......."

"That'...... What should it be called?"

This girl obviously has some intellectual problems, but looking at her pure and clear eyes, she doesn't look like she is mentally retarded...... Maybe she just came to the world, and like Zhou Ze, she doesn't know anything about this world.

Zhou Ze frowned slightly, and said, "Brother, I am ten years older than you at most, so I will call my brother ......."

Maybe it's because of the relationship between the peers, Zhou Ze subconsciously has some expectations, or maybe it's a brother-sister relationship, the current state of the two will somewhat suppress some instinct in his heart.

"What's my name?"

After clarifying the "brother and sister relationship" between the two parties, she nodded and asked another question.

Zhou Ze has a younger sister named Xiuyun in his hometown, looking at her smart eyes, he naturally named her - Zhou Lingyun.

After solving the most basic problems such as identity and name, Zhou Ze asked the girl to stay in the cave, and he immediately came out to find a way to solve the most urgent problems.

The first problem is to get two pieces of clothing...... Then it's just about figuring out where you are and finding a way to get home.

When he walked out of the cave, the first thing he saw was a wide red river!

This blood-like river immediately reminded him of the pool of blood. His last memory was that he was swept into a black hole by an undercurrent after diving into a pool of blood...... In this way, the water in the pool should be connected to the river, and why the two of them came to this river can also be explained.

On both sides of the river are two bluestone embankments, and there is a two-meter-high arch cave every few meters above the embankment, which looks like a facility like a breakhole. And the cave he was in was one of them. In order not to make a mistake when he came back later, Zhou Ze drew a mark at the entrance of the cave and climbed the embankment.

"Hmm...... Yes...... Europe...... Oh......"

There was a small forest on the slope, and after walking not far, Zhou Ze heard a strange sound from the depths of the dense forest.

With years of "otaku experience", he immediately understood...... This is someone fighting in this grove!

"Hey...... It's really effortless!" Zhou Ze observed it carefully, and was secretly happy in his heart.

The clothes scattered in the woods were picked up by him one by one, and along the footsteps of these scattered clothes, there was an even bigger surprise waiting for him - it was an open-top sports car parked on the side of the road!
