Chapter 40: Yao Ji returns
"Master, Bai Ze is here." Tao He stood outside the candle shade's dormitory, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, and said to the candle shade in the hall.
The dormitory was so quiet that almost even the sound of a needle falling could be heard, and Tao He finished speaking for a while, and then vaguely heard a sound of rustling clothes in the hall, and after a while, the door of the hall was opened, and the candle shade walked out.
Tao He was carrying an oil-paper lantern in his hand, and when he saw the candle coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way for him.
After the Changqing Palace falls at night, lanterns will be lit on the corridor, so as not to let someone see clearly and hurt where the fall hurts after nightfall. It's not just Changqing Palace, it's also the palace next to it. The strange arrival of the palace with candles is strange, and after nightfall, not only is it silent, but the whole palace can hardly find even a trace of light.
The oil-paper lantern in Tao He's hand illuminated the long corridor, but with a glimmer of light, the corridor still looked very dim in the inky night. The two walked for a while, and finally saw Bai Ze at the end of the corridor.
"You're here." Bai Ze turned around, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Candle Yin nodded, took the oil-paper lantern in Tao He's hand and whispered to him, "You go down first." ”
"Yes......"
After Tao He left, Candle Yin slowly approached Bai Ze with a lantern and leaned on the railing: "It's so late, what are you doing?" ”
"Yaoji was taken away."
Hearing this, Candle Yin looked at Bai Ze, and suddenly understood, only to see him sneer, raise his eyebrows slightly, and ask with a hint of mockery: "Do you suspect that I took people away?" ”
Bai Ze looked at the candle shade with a heavy gaze, as if he was looking at it, and he seemed to be pondering. Candle Yin didn't speak, playing with the purse in his sleeve. Fang just casually wore a shirt and came out, which happened to contain the purse that Chongjiang gave him at the beginning. At this time, I had nothing to do, and I began to play casually.
"Candle Yin, you tell me the truth, why did you marry Jiang Er, I don't believe that the abduction has nothing to do with you." After a long time, Bai Ze spoke in a deep voice. The tone is no longer controlled, and it is aggressive.
Candle Yin's hand paused for a moment, and then said unhurriedly: "Legend has it that Bai Ze knows everything, can predict the future and understand the past. Since you suspect that I have something, why don't you cast a spell and find out one or two yourself? ”
"You know that I can't perform secret arts now, so why should I bother to tell you this now."
"Of course I know, but we've been friends for many years, and now you're suspicious of me again......" Candle Yin said and paused, then his eyes sank slightly, and he continued in a cold voice: "Yaoji was not taken away by me, you can go." After speaking, without waiting for Bai Ze to answer, he left here with a lantern.
Bai Ze looked at the direction in which the candle yin left, and in the dark bottomless pupils, there seemed to be an unpredictable emotion like a stacked cloud. He stood there for a long time, until he could no longer see the slightest figure of the candle, and then he left Zhongshan.
However, to his surprise, when he returned to the Heavenly Realm, the kidnapped Yao Ji had already returned to his dormitory, and he didn't know anything about his abduction. Considering the issue of Yao Ji's reputation, Bai Ze did not immediately go to Yao Ji's palace after knowing about it. After all, it's late at night, and he will go to find Yaoji again, I'm afraid there will be bad rumors tomorrow.
Chongjiang only found out about this when he got up on the second day, and he didn't care about anything, so he was busy and rushed to Yaoji. I was going to go with Liuyun, but I didn't find anyone in the room, so I gave up. But when I went out, I happened to meet Bai Ze, and the two went over together.
"What happened last night, Master?" Chong Jiang couldn't help but ask when he saw the pensive look on Bai Ze's face.
"Did Yao Ji come to you yesterday?" Chongjiang nodded and looked at Bai Ze suspiciously.
"Did she say anything strange?" Bai Ze then asked, he had been thinking about it almost all night last night, and he couldn't figure out what Yao Ji meant by that sentence. Why can't Jiang Er and Candle Yin get married, and what is Candle Yin hiding from him? Who took Yao Ji away? All kinds of doubts were planted in his heart like a seed. In just one night, it had already taken root, and he had to figure things out.
"No...... However, if I heard me correctly, something seemed wrong when Yao Ji came to me yesterday, and she told me not to marry Candle Yin. ”
Chongjiang's words made Bai Ze's heart freak in his heart, and he grabbed Chongjiang's hand and asked, "And then?!" What else did she say?! ”
"I didn't ...... No, no more, and then the candle shade came, and she left......" Bai Ze's unusual reaction startled Chongjiang and stammered.
Hearing this, Bai Ze slowly let go of Chongjiang's hand, and his eyes fell into deep thought. At this time, he had stopped and looked at the white clouds in the air. Chong Jiang stood aside obediently, not daring to disturb him. But she also had doubts in her heart, she was not stupid, and naturally understood that Bai Ze would not ask these questions for no reason. And Yao Ji has just been taken captive, and now Bai Ze is asking this, which is obviously related to Yao Ji's abduction.
"Let's go to Yao Ji first." After a long time, I saw Bai Ze come back to his senses and said in a deep voice. Chongjiang nodded, and the two continued to walk towards Yao Ji.
Because the news of Yao Ji's abduction last night spread throughout the Nine Heavens, today's Yao Ji's palace is full of people, and there is an endless stream of immortals who come to visit. Chongjiang and Bai Ze had something to do, so they waited until there were fewer people to go to Yaoji.
"Yaoji!" Seeing Yaoji, Chongjiang hurriedly ran over, looked at Yaoji carefully, and asked nervously, "Are you okay?!" ”
Yao Ji shook her head, her always cold face with a hint of doubt at the moment. She looked at Jiang and asked with a hint of uncertainty in her tone, "What happened last night?" Why am I not impressed at all? ”
Chong Jiang looked at Yao Ji in shock when she heard this, and then looked at Bai Ze, she didn't expect this to be the case, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"You don't remember anything?" Bai Ze suddenly spoke at this time, and his tone was unprecedentedly serious.
"I don't remember...... And I remember staying in my dormitory last night and not ......going anywhere," Yao Ji said, suddenly covering her head, a faint look of pain on her face.
"Yaoji, what's wrong with you!" Chongjiang hurriedly supported Yaoji and looked at her worriedly. She vaguely understood that Yao Ji was afraid that someone had tampered with her memory. She believed that Master would not lie, and that Yao Ji knew nothing about last night's events, and the only explanation was that Yao Ji had been tampered with......
