Chapter 56: The Puzzle
Seeing that Yu Xiaocao stopped eating, the other two also put down their chopsticks and looked at her worriedly, as if they were waiting for Yu Xiaocao to speak. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ๏ฝiqugeใ ๏ฝ๏ฝfo
Yu Xiaocao didn't know how to speak, hesitated for a while, and said slowly: "Nangong, I, I have something to ask for, will you help me?" โ
Her tone was so light that she couldn't hear what was going on in her heart. In fact, it was she who didn't dare to act too eagerly, for fear that Nangong Yuying would think she was begging.
With Nangong Yuying's character, in the face of other people's begging, I am afraid he will not refuse. Yu Xiaocao didn't want to embarrass him.
"Miss Yu, it's okay for you to say it directly, if you can help, I will definitely help."
"Nangong, can you help me find a demon?" Word by word, ask cautiously, and try not to trace the expectations in your heart.
After hearing this, Nangong Yuying's heart shook slightly.
She actually asked him to help find a youkai.
But...... He doesn't have any magic cultivation in his body, and he doesn't have a magic weapon, how can he help her?
Moreover, he hadn't even seen a real youkai, so how did he know where to find it.
Nangong Yuying's eyebrows wrinkled together, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.
Is this girl giving him a problem?
However, this girl usually avoids him, and today she came to him in despair, and nine times out of ten she encountered a problem that could not be solved.
What was it that made her show such sad and sad eyes.
He had to figure out this key issue first.
A slight smile, bright and sunny.
He said, "Miss Yu, tell me first, what happened to you." This monster thing, I think you are an insider, how can you ask me a layman to help? It's a bit confusing. โ
Yu Xiaocao bit her lip and replied with a little choked up, "Nangong, the people in the bookstore have all been killed by monsters. โ
Saying this fact made her heart tremble, and then, her little body seemed to tremble.
Her hands were on her knees, clenched into fists until the joints turned white.
"They were all killed by a peach tree demon named Hongying. I want to find her and avenge the lives of a dozen people in the bookstore. โ
Miss Yu...... I didn't expect such a tragedy to happen in the bookstore...... But why did you think to come to me? โ
"Because, last time Liu Jin was helped, he was caught. Nangong, you must have some way to find Hongying, right? โ
Nangong Yuying looked at Yu Xiaocao's eyes, without blinking, he actually shook his head, and he didn't know how to answer.
Should he tell her about Liu Jin, he didn't do much. All he did was to go to the emperor and ask the emperor to send a secret organization he had formed to deal with the matter.
Therefore, what really caught Liu Jin was an organization called "ๅญ (bรจi) star".
This organization was established by the emperor's order, and there are only three people in the organization, and no one has ever seen their true faces, let alone know their origin and existence. These three people only obeyed the orders of the emperor alone. Their mission was mainly to help the emperor find exotic beasts, elixirs, and teach some supernatural science.
If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor knew that Nangong Yuying liked Taoism to the point of being almost crazy, and had quietly told him about the existence of this organization, and allowed him to join it and follow the three of them to study what he was interested in, Nangong Yuying would not have known.
When he learned of the existence of this organization, he was very excited at first, thinking that he was finally going to meet the legendary master, but after seeing it, he was very disappointed.
The three of them were tightly wrapped from head to toe, only revealing two eyes, and in the dark secret room, they stood coldly in front of Nangong Yuying, staring straight at him with ghostly eyes, as if they were messengers from hell, with a dark aura, which made him very uncomfortable.
So, before he joined, he quit the organization.
If it weren't for Yu Xiaocao's request for help, Nangong Yuying would not have begged the emperor to send this secret organization anyway.
Could it be that this time we have to use the power of the stars?
He always felt that the star gave him a very evil feeling, not the kind of decent family that her mother had described. If you can, it's better to keep it in touch.
But...... He couldn't bear to let Yu Xiaocao bear all this alone.
There was silence, and the air turned oppressive.
Nangong Yuying hesitated for a while before he spoke: "Miss Yu, I can't guarantee that I will help you find out the news, I can only say, I try my best, is it okay?" โ
Yu Xiaocao's eyes suddenly darkened.
When Nangong said this, did he mean a euphemistic refusal?
Qin listened a little unhappily on the side, and said in a not very good tone, "Okay, okay, no, no, we don't understand what it means." โ
said that Nangong Yuying's face was blue and white for a while, and he was very embarrassed.
Yu Xiaocao glared at Qin and said, "Qin, how did you speak." Then he turned his head and apologized to Nangong Yuying.
Nangong Yuying is not a stingy person who holds grudges, smiled faintly, and said, "It's okay, it's okay", and the matter quickly turned over.
He persuaded Yu Xiaocao to live in peace in Nangong Mansion. And promised that he would give him a day for this matter, and he would give Yu Xiaocao an answer regardless of whether there was a result or not.
Yu Xiaocao knew that Nangong Yuying had his own difficulties, and he didn't bargain, so he agreed.
Thinking that Yang Zhiyun was still in the bookstore, people were crazy again, so she asked Nangong Yuying to help inquire about Yang Zhiyun and whether he had any relatives and help him find a place to live.
This request is not difficult, and Nangong Yuying readily agreed.
Nangong Yuying greeted the maid and was about to take the two of them back to their rooms to rest, when Yu Xiaocao suddenly remembered a very important matter, and said nervously, "No, I have to go back to Asakusado!" โ
Nangong Yuying was taken aback by her, and her eyes were puzzled. What made her so nervous?
"I had an appointment with a friend and promised to wait for him at the bookstore for three days, I was afraid that if he didn't see me after waiting, he would mistakenly think that I had missed the appointment, and I had to go back and find a way to tell him that I was here."
It turns out that it's such a trifle.
However, the person who can make her remember it so much must be very important in her heart.
Thinking like this, Nangong Yuying felt a little bitter in his heart.
But he still comforted gently: "It's okay, I will send someone over to guard it, and I will not miss everyone who passes by, so you can rest assured." โ
"Hmm...... Thank you, Nangong. โ
Nangong Yuying stretched out his hand and gently rubbed her hair, "Silly girl, say thank you to me, have you forgotten, we are a demon hunting duo, we share weal and bene, and we have experienced life and death together, why do you see me like this." โ
Yu Xiaocao was teased by him, and finally showed a slight smile on his face.
What is the "monster hunting duo", obviously they once only caught one Zhang Qing together, and they said it so exaggeratedly, "sharing hardships and hardships" and "experiencing life and death", if they met a real monster, they wouldn't have known how many times they died.
The two chatted vigorously, completely ignoring whether these remarks had caused harm to a demon around them.
Anger brewed in Jean's eyes.
Nangong Yuying just touched Yu Xiaocao's head, making him feel uncomfortable like a cat scratching.
Also, what is the "monster hunting duo", is it for him? Does that mean he's been left out? If he's a demon, can't he be with them?
This nasty man!
Do you want to grab the grass with him?
No way! Don't give!
