Chapter 44: Indifference
"Are you going to the secret realm?" Coming out of the post station, Mu Ying asked Ling Gu.
Ling Gu shook his head, and then went to Baiju Mansion to pack drunken crabs for Bai Yu, as well as some small snacks - they were all sent back to the Shuaifu to distribute to the little hairballs all the way.
After returning to the Shuaifu, Boyan and Mu Ying also returned to the mansion in advance, and when Ling Gu arrived at the main hall of the Commander's Mansion, Bai Yu had just finished listening to Qin Qian's report. Seeing him come in, Qin Qian owed slightly, smiled and left.
"I promised to bring it to you." Ling Gu put the drunken crab on the table and called the green bead on the side: "Green bead, bring the dishes." β
"Yes."
Bai Yu looked at Ling Gu, stretched out his hand to pull Ling Gu to sit down, and asked, "Didn't you sneak away to play in the secret realm, did you have something on your mind?" β
Ling Gu glanced at Bai Yu before he said, "Qin Qian has already told you about the post station." β
Bai Yu nodded.
Ling Gu continued: "How is Beast Lan a person? β
Bai Yu smiled: "It depends on what the standard is." Why don't you start by saying what you think? β
Ling Gu said calmly: "Today, the Ma family made trouble, and smeared the Shuai Mansion in and out of words. It stands to reason that this is a good opportunity, if I were Beast Lan, even if I couldn't follow the smear, I would drag the Shuai Mansion into the water. However, Beast Lan's behavior was diametrically opposed. He is very protective of the Shuaifu, and he is not shy about the dark day, and implores the city's citizens to agree. He also killed the leader of his subordinates, and willingly ruined the prestige and face of the Eastern Beast Kingdom. I don't understand why he did this, I don't think he's a good guy, after all, now things don't know anything at all, and he killed his men. So, what is his purpose? β
"Gestures. The king of the Eastern Beast Kingdom has been paralyzed in bed for many years, and he is about to die. Bai Yu said: "And if Beast Lan wants to become the king, Bermuda City is undoubtedly the best supporter." β
"Just kidding, I can't think of supporting them." Ling Gu reached out and pinched Bai Yu's ear, and gently tugged: "Don't go around in circles with me, what's the situation?" β
Bai Yu let him be presumptuous, and said: "I don't know, anyway, the Eastern Beast Kingdom has not been at ease. The previous king was a reckless man, but now the beast Lan is a strategist. β
Ling Gu let go of his hand and rubbed his two fingertips, always feeling that the action just now had a strong sense of immediacy. However, he quickly ignored this feeling and frowned, "It means that he is difficult to do?" β
"He can't turn flowers in Bermuda." Bai Yu said with a smile.
"Then is the cause of Ma Jihao's death still investigated?" Ling Gu asked, "His death must be abnormal, and the timing is too coincidental." β
"Priest Mingyue has left Ma Jimi's flesh and blood, wait for her news." After Bai Yu finished speaking, Lu Zhu had already brought tableware and wine.
"Let's eat. If you still want to go to the secret realm, go for it. Bai Yu said particularly tolerantly.
Ling Gu shook his head: "I don't have a mind at this time. Has anyone found a treasure in the secret realm? β
"I haven't heard the news yet, but as far as the news sent back by Wei Yuan is concerned, the aura of the secret realm is weak, and it is connected to the mountain behind the Taiyuan, and it is about to be assimilated. It must have been something that poured into the Central Realm three hundred years ago, but now it is just a coincidence. β
Ling Gu was even less interested after listening to it. Ate two drunken crabs, and then obediently went to the back garden.
Ling Gu didn't cultivate, but leaned on the shell of Xiao Wu, the name of the Xuan Turtle, in a daze.
He wanted to ask Bai Yu if those forces in the city really didn't plan to take care of it. But as soon as he saw Bai Yu's eyes, Ling Gu couldn't ask anything - he had seen Bai Yu's eyes looking at Bermuda City and those city citizens, which were like gods and Buddhas looking down on living beings, but they had nothing to do with compassion, only indifference. And when Bai Yu looked at those people in Shuaifu, his eyes were like sun-dried cotton, soft and warm.
Ling Gu felt that he probably knew why, Bai Yu had been trapped here for more than three hundred years, and this place was a cage for him.
No one will have feelings for a cage.
But.
"Those people worship Shuaifu too much, and they blindly believe and worship Bai Yu." Ling Gu said to himself: "Bai Yu ignores them, but others will not ignore them, and if it falls into the hands of others, it is a knife." β
"Whoa." Xiao Wu rang lazily, its voice was like a heavy bronze bell, long and long, listening to it a few times, people's hearts can calm down.
"Forget it, it's the right thing to do to adapt and improve your cultivation." Ling Gu shook his head, stood up and patted the turtle shell to say goodbye to Xiao Wu, and then went to the grass where he often went to meditate and practice.
Ling Gu sat all night, and when he came out of the back garden, it was already the next morning.
Bai Yu sat at the stone table in the garden, beckoned when he saw him come out, and then put the egg in Ling Gu's hand: "Go take a bath and have breakfast, and then take the child out for a walk." β
Ling Gu lowered his head, looked at the egg in his hand, and then looked at Bai Yu: "Take a walk?" β
Bai Yu nodded: "Forty-nine days have passed, and his own spirit has been condensed, and now he can perceive the outside world." Basking in the sun, walking, feeding spiritual power, cleaning. The more meticulous and thoughtful he is, the more lively and healthy his soul will become. β
Ling Gu was surprised, and then responded happily: "That's okay, I'll take him around more, and the lively child can withstand the toss." β
Bai Yu: "......"
"How many days do you have to finish?" Ling Gu asked.
Bai Yu immediately smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Miss me? β
What does this mean, looking at Ling Gu's reddish ears, I understand. Although he was busy with cultivation and didn't focus on that matter, it had been more than a month, and his enthusiasm for cultivation had faded a lot. The sweet temptation of "first love" has been played enough, and then the physiological needs of an adult able-bodied man show sharp corners, lust and lust stand up, and the spring breeze stays everywhere.
"Huh." Ling Gu tilted his head, his ears still red. He pulled the corners of his mouth, licked the canine teeth with the tip of his tongue, stared at Bai Yu and said with a wicked smile: "Who thinks who is not sure." β
Bai Yu stretched out his hand to hook Ling Gu's waist, and his silver eyes darkened a little ink: "Actually, I'm not so busy." β
Ling Gu stretched out a finger, poked Bai Yu's shoulder and pushed the person away, grinning, how arrogant he looked: "But I'm busy." β
After speaking, Ling Gu hummed a song and left, not caring about sleeping, just so willful.
Ling Gu's standard configuration for today's guards is still Boyan, because Bai Yu said that the eggs should be sunbathed, so Ling Gu used a translucent cloth pocket to pack the eggs and hang them on his chest. It looks very stupid, but Ling Gu doesn't feel it at all, he holds his head high, and he is very proud.
Walking with Boyan is actually very boring, no talking, no expression, Ling Gu has not dispersed far and has forgotten Boyan's storage zΓ i, which is one step behind him.
There are too many people on Ssangyong Street, and the surrounding streets are not as deserted as usual. Ling Gu wandered blindly for a while, and saw a few people in white robes not far away, who were talking to Qin Qian in civilian clothes, and then Qin Qian handed over a stack of paper-like things in his hand to the elite soldiers next to him, and walked away with those few white-robed people.
Ling Gu didn't think about it at the time, and lewdly tiptoed to followβhe saw that those white-robed people were all sisters, and they looked quite good!
