Chapter 20: Rooftop Encounters
On the second day after the selection was over, Cha Ji ran all over the streets and alleys of the capital according to the roster checked by Xuanyuan Jimo, to invite the girls who had already been selected. When Chayoshi came to the girls' house, their parents were very surprised, they had no hope of being selected, and when they saw the large chunks of gold that Chayoshi had put down, they waved their hands again and again, and said, "I can't do it, I can't help it, it's already a great blessing to be able to stay in the Psychic Pavilion, and how can I collect two more cashiers!"
For them, being able to send their daughter to Xuanyuan Jimo's side at a young age is equivalent to finding a super powerful backer for their daughter, not only that, but the daughter is still their own, and it also saves a huge amount of parenting costs, following Xuanyuan Jimo in Tongling Pavilion, that kind of life is a hundred times better than at home, and even more exciting than sending it to the palace, from now on, their parents can also stand up among neighbors, relatives and friends.
The candidate was quietly decided, and Hongyuan and Qingping were very angry after knowing it, and they had a feeling that they were used by Xuanyuan Jimo, and they came and went when they were called, but they really didn't dare to do anything about Xuanyuan Jimo, considering that they themselves would need to use the Tongling Pavilion in the future, and they would not continue to pursue this matter.
As for the benefits brought to Xuanyuan Jimo by the big celebrities of these two capitals, in addition to attracting some high-quality little girls with backgrounds to participate in the election, there is only trouble left. How to say it? A strange and staggering rumor began to arise in the capital, that is, the owner of the Tongling Pavilion, who has always been mysterious, actually revealed his special habit - pedophilia, saying that those little girls who were selected were undoubtedly in the mouth of the sheep, otherwise you ask their parents, even their parents can't tell what is the specific purpose of Xuanyuan Jimo's selection of those little girls into the cabinet, what to read, what to read, what to practice?
Especially those powerful people who have been dug up by the Tongling Pavilion, their own daughters and granddaughters can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour when they lose the election, and the old grudges and new hatreds are counted together, which fuels the spread of rumors.
At first, Xuanyuan Jimo didn't care, but then it became more and more intense, and it actually spread to the palace, Xuanyuan Jimo guessed that it must be the people he arranged who have been ineffective over the years and neglected to take care of the relationship in all directions, which caused today's embarrassing situation, so he secretly summoned them to reunite.
This rumor is nothing to Xuanyuan Jimo, but this business has to be done, and the rumors can't be left alone, as for where to reunite, Xuanyuan Jimo has to think about it, and the preferred location is, of course, novel and fun.
The 5-year-old girls who were selected had already been temporarily admitted to the Psychic Pavilion, and the reason for this was because they would be sent to the paradise of Baihua Island, ten miles away from the capital, in a few days.
There are a total of twenty girls in this group of girls, since they came to the Spiritual Pavilion, the pear vortex has changed a lot, she is no longer as sullen as before, immersed in the thoughts of missing her parents in Zhuyu Town, and started a normal life, and temporarily put aside her hostility towards Xuanyuan Jimo, she began to integrate into these girls, open her heart, and welcome a new life.
It's just that occasionally in her spare time when she has nothing to do, she still misses her parents and Tang Wuyi. Tang Wuyi should have already gone to Kunlun! At this time, she would take advantage of everyone's sleep, climb up to the roof of the Tongling Pavilion in the moonlight, and look at the general direction of where she came from, no matter how much she raised her feet, she could only see one rooftop after another, extending to the sky in the distance.
Sitting on the roof of the Psychic Pavilion, the pear vortex will often be shocked by the prosperity and magnificence of the capital, she has never seen such a dense building, the rows of high and low, each other's roofs, dense, countless, there are so many people, it must be very lively, I don't know how it compares with the most lively street in Dogwood Town, she has never been to those markets outside the Psychic Pavilion, and she doesn't know what kind of pear vortex the capital is during the day, it should be because she has no chance to climb up during the day, she can only sneak out at night when there is no one, and she has to risk being densely populated by other girls, but no one has done it for the time beingγ
Ritsuki felt that the night in the capital should be much better than the day, she could see the carved buildings not far away, lit with colorful lanterns, and faintly heard the music of the song and dance orchestra, and she could also see the warm lights emitted by those regular streets, faintly glowing under the cover of the roof, if you expand your vision, it will be even more spectacular, the lights stretch throughout the capital, some even do not go out all night, if the moon is dark, those lights will appear more obvious, if the moon is bright, the whole city is transparent.
Pear Vortex is a little glad that the roof of the Psychic Pavilion is relatively high in the buildings of the capital, otherwise even if she stands up, she will be overwhelmed by the tall buildings, and now she has an excellent line of sight, so she can better see the city, enjoy the brilliant lights and calm silence of the city at night, which is completely different from the night in Dogwood Town.
The air at night in Dogwood Town is the fragrance of flowers and trees, there is the atmosphere of grass, the fragrance of flowers, the cold feeling from the forest, those familiar smells in addition to the stars in the sky belong to the happiness and freedom of the pear vortex, there is no such here, there is the breath of fireworks that make people feel lively, and a trace of loneliness and hesitation, under the black pressed roof, the hidden bustle and prosperity make her feel strange and curious, since she has come here, the pear vortex intends to embrace them with open arms, no matter what will greet her, she must learn to be strong, she believes that one day she will return to her own town, and even she will have the opportunity to meet Tang Wuyi, no matter what, she has to have hope and live well.
Thinking of all this, she actually wanted to cry, she had never considered these things before, it all came too suddenly, she hugged her arms tightly, hoping to give herself some warmth, this time she had been on the roof for a long time, she felt a little cold.
When she looked up from between her curled legs again, her eyes were filled with tears, and she reached out to try to wipe them away, feeling that she shouldn't shed any more tears.
In the haze, she saw two familiar figures on the roof in the distance, two white foxes, sitting side by side motionless, and they appeared at some point. Rivortex was very excited, they really followed her, she stood up again, wanted to shout and greet them, as soon as she opened her mouth, she quickly covered it, or not to make a sound, she raised her hands and waved at the pair of foxes.
After a long time, the two foxes reacted, one of them stood up and looked at the pear vortex, and the other kept keeping its original posture and did not move, but kept wagging its tail!
The two foxes seemed to feel the call of the pear vortex's heart, and set off to run here, the moonlight shining on the hair on their backs. At first, they stepped on the roof, striding meteors, sassing like flat ground, and then the speed became faster and faster, wings appeared on their backs, and the pear vortex suppressed their desire to scream, and they actually had wings on their backs.
Pear Vortex has even begun to fantasize about herself sitting on the back of one of them galloping in the air, flying like a bird, what kind of feeling is that, they are getting closer and closer, and she is about to break away from the control of the Psychic Pavilion and return to Dogwood Town? This is too simple, can she escape from Xuanyuan Jimo's palm so easily? Pear Vortex is excited and nervous.
Suddenly, with a click, the two white foxes were bounced back by something more than ten meters away from the pear vortex, and the two foxes reversed in the air and fell heavily under the roof, and there was a painful fox cry.
The corners of her mouth twitched, her fists clenched, and she gritted her teeth and spit out two words.
"Despicable!"
That is the shelter cover that Xuanyuan Jimo has set up within a radius of more than ten meters from the Tongling Pavilion, and it is not just to guard against these two white foxes, all the fairies and monsters with spells can be guarded against, if they don't pay attention, they will crash directly without using mana, just like these two foxes, but all fairies with a little brain can sense it in advance and will not collide, and the spell with high spells can even break the shelter, but whether it is installed or intentionally destroyed Xuanyuan Jimo will feel it.
Li Vortex only felt a black shadow pass in front of him, and Xuanyuan Jimo stood on the eaves where the two foxes fell, looking down at their miserable situation condescendingly, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and put on a disgusted expression.
"You'd better bear with it, be careful that your identity is exposed, and you will be captured by these sleeping residents!"
The two foxes stood up from the rooftop, surrounded Xuanyuan Jimo, and made a defensive gesture.
"I won't hurt you, as long as I ......" Xuanyuan Jimo paused, looking at the two foxes with an incomprehensible smile on their faces, "As long as you don't make trouble for me anymore." You'd better be careful, I've heard that there have been demons in some parts of the human world lately. I mean, if you are discovered by those demons, I believe that the Heavenly Realm will soon find out, and there will be a lot of unnecessary troubles at that time, you should take these into account, after all, your duty is to protect her, isn't it?" Xuanyuan Jimo pointed at the pear vortex, and the two foxes looked at the pear vortex: "That's right. Our job is to protect her from any harm. β
"But you are more exposed than Pear Vortex, she is just an ordinary person now, no one will find her, and you are different!"
The two foxes felt that what Xuanyuan Jimo said was very reasonable, this was indeed what they should pay attention to, they nodded, and looked at the pear vortex not far away again.
"Then leave! It's better not to show up again. β
The two foxes took a few steps back and made a gesture of leaving, but their eyes were still on the pear vortex, and their eyes were full of reluctance.
"We'll leave, but it's impossible not to show up!"
After saying that, the two foxes walked away without heading, and soon disappeared into the moonlight.
Xuanyuan Jimo appeared beside the pear vortex, still calm as water, and in the moonlight, his face was even more charming.
Pear Vortex saw that there was no bun on his head, loose hair, and he was casually tied to the back of his head from both sides of his face, slightly messy, she was also the first time to see Xuanyuan Jimo like this, but it made her feel different, it turned out that Xuanyuan Jimo would sleep like ordinary people, when this thought appeared in her mind, Pear Vortex was a little disdainful of herself, she shouldn't have the idea of worshipping him, and she shouldn't pay too much attention to him, right?
Xuanyuan Jimo seemed to notice that the pear vortex was looking at him too much, and seemed to be thinking about it, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know what he was doing, but he didn't pay attention to it.
"Again, you'd better dismiss the idea of running away, you can't run away!
Pear Vortex came back to his senses and heard Xuanyuan Jimo's words, but before he could answer, Xuanyuan Jimo left.
Then she heard Xuanyuan Jimo's voice behind her, "You've stayed long enough, go back!"
