Chapter 24: Something Happened
The man in black did not answer the girl, but reached out and summoned a black ancient knife, turned around and swept it, and slashed at the girl. The girl seemed to have been prepared, flew upside down into the air, waved her sleeves a few times, dissolved all the sword qi of the man in black, and fell to the ground.
"I didn't expect that after many years of not seeing you, your skills have increased a lot! But--all these years, I haven't slacked off! Shangguan Youyou, for the sake of the senior brother, I will finally advise you to hand over the landlord's token, otherwise it will ......"
"Otherwise?"
Although Shangguan Youyou looked young, there was no fear on her face, and she was even a little not angry, she took two steps forward, looked at the man in black and said calmly: "Uncle Shi, or should I call you Black Tornado?" For Grandpa's sake, if you stop here, I can still let you go as I did in the past, if you are obsessed again, today, I will clean up the portal!"
"Phew! You're not worthy! You're just a girl picked up by your senior brother, you are not qualified to take over the position of the landlord at all, those old immortal stubborn spirits, but you can't pass my level!" The black tornado glared at Shangguan Youyou viciously, he looked quite majestic, and he started a fire, and his momentum was even greater.
However, Shangguan Youyou snorted coldly: "Black Tornado, I think you are an elder, I have repeatedly tolerated you, and I have not pursued you for colluding with outsiders to be unfavorable to the Void Styx Mountain over ......the years."
"Collusion with outsiders?hahahaha......" Black Tornado laughed wildly, "The Empty Styx Mountain has guarded the Night City for more than 2,000 years, but 30 years ago, your grandfather gave the Night City to the demons, and you are embarrassed to say that I colluded with outsiders? You and your grandfather are the traitors of the Empty Styx Mountain, no, you are the sinners of the Empty Styx Mountain!"
The black tornado swung the black ancient knife again and slashed at Shangguan Youyou, and the powerful sword qi seemed to be overwhelming and accompanied by the power of absorbing the scroll. Shangguan Youyou looked at the sword qi that swept in, her face still remained calm, this time, she did not dodge, but stood quietly in place, looking at the black tornado.
Seeing that Shangguan Youyou did not resist, the black tornado was a little happy at first, thinking that this time he would definitely be able to kill Shangguan Youyou with one sword, but when he saw Shangguan Youyou's calm eyes, he was suddenly a little stunned, and a trace of inexplicable unease flashed in his heart.
"No way, she must be bluffing, she can't take my knife!"
The black tornado shouted in his heart, but he didn't believe it himself, although his knife was fierce and domineering, but he only used seven points of skill, he had fought with Shangguan Youyou more than once over the years, with his understanding of Shangguan Youyou, Shangguan Youyou could definitely be easily avoided.
"Why? Why didn't she dodge......?
The black tornado seemed to have guessed something, and when he saw Shangguan Youyou's eyes, he suddenly felt a little more frightened, and the momentum he had before had long since disappeared.
"Bell!"
With a crisp metallic sound, the knife qi slashed out by the black tornado seemed to hit something, and it disappeared after a few fluctuations, only a little residual strength around the two of them fell to the ground, raising a little dust.
The black tornado looked at Shangguan Youyou, who had floated in front of him at some point, with her right hand firmly grasping the blade of the black ancient knife.
Castle
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Chu Tiancheng hurried to Alina's room, intending to find Elina to continue to track down Derek's whereabouts.
Ever since he had absorbed that mysterious power in that underground laboratory, he had been curious about what was in that display case, and he was eager to know what it contained, why was it contained, and what was that mysterious power?
Alina's door was not locked, and Chu Tiancheng opened the door directly and went in, however, unfortunately, Alina happened to take a shower at this time, dried her hair, and was about to change her clothes, just took off the bath towel, Chu Tiancheng pushed the door and came in.
"Aliana, are you alright, it's not that you don't like ......"
Before the word "makeup" was spoken, Chu Tiancheng was stunned. The two looked at each other, and Alina reacted first.
"Look!"
Chu Tiancheng exited the door as if he had escaped and slipped back into the room.
"I'm going to strangle a gourd baby, she, she, she's not going to be angry, is she? God, I'm not going to be killed!"
Chu Tiancheng leaned against the door and patted his chest, his heart was beating so badly, where did he think that Alina would change her clothes and not close the door?
"Well, don't you blame me completely? Besides, we've slept together, so it's okay to take a look, right?"
In the past, when he had nightmares, Alina often came to his room in pajamas that were thin into the wings of the cicada, and would even carry him to sleep, but although he said so in his mouth, he didn't think so in his heart, after all, he knew very well that it was different, if he wore it, he wore it, and if he didn't wear it, he didn't wear it, and the nature was different.
"Still, Alina is in good shape...... Oh yes, it's all this time, what the hell am I thinking?!"
Chu Tiancheng slapped his face vigorously with both hands, but when this kind of thing happened, he really had no experience in dealing with it. However, thinking of the experience, he really remembered the embarrassing thing that happened outside the school that day with Xie Lu.
"Could it be that I have to spend a day with Alina like I did with Xie Lu?"
Chu Tiancheng shook his head, Alina and Xie Lu are different, he knows what Xie Lu means to him, and he doesn't want to develop that kind of relationship with Xie Lu, but Alina is different, Alina is his guardian, like a sister and a mother, how can he compare with Xie Lu?
But although she is like a sister and a mother, after all, she is not a sister or a mother, and there is a difference between men and women. Thinking of the difference between men and women, he suddenly thought again, Alina had never slept with him in his arms before, and this time it shouldn't be too "don't", right?
"Knock knock ......"
Just when Chu Tiancheng was thinking nonsense, Alina knocked on the door outside: "Tiancheng, are you okay, we should go." β
"Okay, okay, okay!" Chu Tiancheng opened the door in a panic, only to see Alina standing calmly at the door as if nothing had happened.
"Then let's go!" Alina reached out and patted Chu Tiancheng on the shoulder, and the two disappeared in place.
Dark group general monitoring room
Ji Wuying sat on the monitoring table and watched the little bees with relish, not noticing Alina's arrival at all.
"Smack!"
Alina walked straight to Ji Wuying's side, pressed the screen switch, and the big screen immediately went black.
"OMG, take away your broken claws!Snowgirl, I can tell you, you've played too much this timeβ"
Ji Wuying thought that Murong Lianxue did it, and slapped Alina's hand away with one hand, reopened the screen, and wanted to continue, but it was too late, only to see the words Game Over pop up after an explosion on the screen. He was so angry that he slapped the keyboard and stood up, wanting to settle accounts with Murong Lianxue, but found that it was Alina standing next to him, and he swallowed it back before he finished his cruel words.
"Alina, the ...... I really didn't know it was you, I thought it was Xiaoxue...... Well, did you have breakfast? I'll make instant noodles for you......"
Alina didn't mean to delve into it, looking at Ji Wuying's embarrassed appearance of fleeing in a hurry, she couldn't help but smile, at this time, she couldn't help but remember the way Chu Tiancheng escaped from her room just now, and a strange emotion suddenly flashed in her heart, it was a long-lost emotion, at this time, her heartbeat also accelerated a lot, and she secretly glanced at Chu Tiancheng behind her.
Chu Tiancheng was still pondering Alina's thoughts, although Alina had been acting like nothing had happened, but what happened was what happened, he always couldn't help but think about it in his heart, he couldn't help but feel weak, he felt Alina's gaze, he didn't know how to respond, so he simply pretended not to pay attention, and casually took the materials that he moved from the laboratory yesterday and pretended to flip it up.
Lonely men and widows, living in the same room, the atmosphere is quite awkward. At this moment, the door was slammed open, and Murong Lianxue hurriedly ran in from outside, out of breath, and said nervously to Alina: "Alina, something happened!"
