Chapter 27: Lingyun Garden

"I see, Yaya, you're a gold-level Soul Eater. After leaving the hall, Zishu Kaoru took a few juniors around the royal courtyard, and by the way, led Yaya and Yan to the master bedroom and guest room with them respectively.

"Yes, Auntie. In her opinion, even the first step of "grandpa" has been called, what else is there to dare to call?

"What are you shouting auntie, hahaha, Sister Anya and I are already very different in age, and now we are only twenty-five years old, Yeya, you look almost twenty, right?" Zishu Xun smiled: "If the age difference is not big, it's okay to call me sister." ”

"I'm eighteen years old. Yaya also laughed, maybe because of her youth, ordinary people would always think that she was about twenty years old when they looked at her temperament, but she wouldn't feel angry about it: "Wouldn't it be all messed up when you call my sister." ”

"Out of the way, out of the way. Zishu Kaoru waved his hand and motioned for Yaya to call him like this: "Sister Anya and I, it's because the age difference is too big, so I feel embarrassed every time I call my sister." ”

They came to the back garden, which is basically the area where the Zishu family stays, and Zishu Kaoru and his party were assigned guest rooms along the corridor all the way, "This is Yanhe", "This is Alston's", and they just walked and talked. Yaya's room is on the side of the master bedroom, which is an independent courtyard, which is quiet, and second, it also reflects Yaya's identity - the next head of the family, unique.

"I just didn't expect you to be so interesting to form a team, the joint team of the three major families also surpasses Sister Anya's configuration in a sense. After assigning a room to Yan and them, Zishu Kaoru walked to the residence with Yeya, and said with emotion: "Yeya's room is Sister Anya's residence at the beginning, and we don't come to this courtyard often, so the placement in Sister Anya's room has not changed anything, but of course, Sister Anya is Yaya's mother, you can change the layout of the room as you like, and Sister Anya will not blame." ”

Yaya realized that although Zishu Kaoru had a smile in every sentence, almost every sentence was inseparable from Zishu Anya. To be honest, for Yaya, she doesn't have the slightest memory of her mother in her mind, listening to Zishu Kaoru's mention, it's fake to say that she is not curious, but she is also a little sad in addition to curiosity. She knows that everyone is born with parents, and whether they are alive or not, they always need parents to produce people. Over the past eighteen years, she has fantasized countless times about what her parents were like, but eventually gave up because she couldn't think of the results. Now that she's about to go to her mother's house to live, an inexplicable worry suddenly rises in Yaya's heart.

"Sister Kaoru, can you tell me about what kind of person my mother, Zishu Anya, is?" Yaya was a little apprehensive when she said this, and she didn't know why.

"Sister Anya, haha, because the age difference is too big, I can't remember it clearly. Zi Shuxun nodded: "When I was a child, Sister Anya took us out to play, and someone always said that we were Sister Anya's children, and Sister Anya was very angry, so she would give them the middle finger." Haha, Sister Anya is a very unruly person. ”

"Sister Anya has never been in love within the scope of our cognition, maybe she talked but didn't say anything, that's why we have you. Zi Shuxun said: "Sister Anya sometimes behaves like a man, even stronger than a man, just like when we were children when we ate canned food, Brother Deming couldn't open it as a boy, Sister Anya flipped the bottle, slapped it at the bottom, snapped, and the can was opened." ”

"Haha, it turns out that my mother is such a person. Yaya suddenly felt that this was very different from her imaginary mother, who she had imagined was a gentle person, a little jade, and a decisive attitude, but in the end she was a gentle and gentle woman. Listening to Zi Shuxun's introduction, she found out that her mother might be a man's wife.

"But Sister Anya also has a careful side, which is probably why Uncle Patriarch likes her so much. Zishu Xun thought for a while and then said: "Sister Anya lost her mother at a young age, only the patriarch uncle is a close relative, I still remember that annual meeting, the patriarch uncle drank too much, Sister Anya snatched his wine glass, and drank all the liquor with a gurgling, everyone was stunned on the spot, hahaha." ”

In between speaking, through the corridors, Ye Ya and his party have arrived at the door of the courtyard, and Ye Ya glanced up, Lingyun Yuan. Top Gun's Lingyun, the name really doesn't look like a yard where a girl should live. Zi Shuxun explained that the former director of this courtyard was the owner of this courtyard, a merry prince hundreds of years ago, he loved beauty and loved the country, and after abandoning his beloved for the sake of the country, he was depressed and unwilling to live alone in this mountain courtyard. Lingyun Yuan was once the place where his beloved lived, but it was also the place where the woman hanged herself. In the end, the prince not only did not get the country, but also lost the beauty, and he was martyred with the beauty in this Lingyun Garden.

"Isn't that a ghost house?" Yan He shuddered, although as a native of country Z, he had never heard of this almost wild history story, but he was a little worried about Yu Yeya, two people died in this courtyard, and it was a hundred years ago, if it was a cup of soul due to resentment again, it would be difficult to do. But Yaya seemed to see through his concerns, and only patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mother must have chosen this place for a reason." ”

"Yes, Sister Anya likes this small courtyard very much!" Zishu Kaoru led the three of them into the courtyard, and from the moment he stepped into the courtyard, Yaya felt a sense of disobedience, as if there was really a ghost here. As a soul eater, I don't believe that there are ghosts, all the demons and monsters in the world can be explained by cup souls, but it makes no sense that only she can feel it, and the other three ...... Yaya stole a glance at the other three, including Koshu Kaoru, who might be of a higher rank, and none of them reacted unusually.

"Sister Kaoru, what level of Soul Eater are you?" Yaya asked.

"Eh, I just got into a diamond. Zishu Kaoru was a little confused, as if she didn't understand why Yaya asked so rhetorically.

Even a diamond-level Soul Eater couldn't sense the abnormality, and Yaya was almost 100% sure that this cup soul might be a red-level cup soul, and its concealment ability was one level stronger than that of Jidan. Night Ya looked around, pretending to look at the scenery, every grass and tree in this courtyard was a place where Yaya's soul was very likely to possess him, but the spiritual power felt one by one but couldn't feel anything. Strange to say, this is the mansion of the Zishu family, and just a few Venerable Zishu Wu and their Venerables are enough to suppress all the cup souls, clear them or make them dare not make a mistake. This cup soul may also be a remnant of life, living in this courtyard where no one has lived for a long time. Yaya decided to keep quiet, she had information about her abilities, and she could find this hidden little guy when she was alone.

"Then my task of taking you to familiarize yourself with the environment today is over, wait a minute, I have a tea party, I have to go out, you three little guys just stay here and talk about the world or something!" I don't know if Zishu Kaoru really doesn't know that there is a cup of soul here, in short, she seems to be in a hurry to go out, and after saying this, she left Yaya and walked out of the courtyard alone.

"Yaya, your face isn't quite right. Alston asked, a little worried.

Perhaps because of the secret possession of the night arrow, Alston felt that the Hildo family had always been ashamed of the Zishu family in some things, so he had been silent just now, trying not to speak, first, for fear of causing any more disputes, and second, he had no shame to face the people of the Zishu family. It's ridiculous to say that these disputes are all caused by his father, but his son is responsible for all this. Alston gritted his teeth, and when he returned to country A or San Sildo, he would definitely start a verbal dispute with Ray Hildo.

But maybe you don't need to wait until you go back to country A, tomorrow is Yaya's introduction meeting, and Ray Hildo will definitely be there.

When twilight fell, the lights in the courtyard began to turn on one by one, but fortunately, the Zishu family had carried out a series of renovations and decorations in this courtyard, and it was not to the point that it was necessary to walk with candles at night. The dim light reflected the faces of the three people under the street lamp, and with the light of the setting sun, Yaya's expression was very serious, she couldn't feel where the strangeness came from, and she didn't want to get rid of the most perceptive Yanhe, so she could only shake her head under Alston's inquiry, indicating that she was okay.

"Okay, I'm going to go and see what my mother's room looks like, this is my boudoir now, you boys don't come in, go out and go out. Nightya shoved Alston and Yanhe and drove them all out of Lingyun Garden.

"Are you really okay?" asked Yanhe, turning his head. He had a hunch that Yaya was hiding something from him, but he couldn't ask directly. Yaya has always been an assertive girl, and there is always nothing wrong with her decisions.

Yaya shook her head, she knew that the two big boys in front of her were worried about her, but she thought that the strangeness she could feel must have something to do with her, and it was better not to make a noise until she saw through this relationship.

Seeing off Alston and Yanhe, Nightya turned around and walked back to Lingyun Garden, concentrating on perceiving the strangeness of the place, but she noticed a hallucination by the willow trees and the lake in the courtyard.

It was a woman who looked very similar to her, sitting under a willow tree feeding the koi in the lake, and she had a book next to her, the name of Yaya was not clear, but she could know that it was her mother, Zishu Anya. The woman seemed to enjoy the tranquility of the place, and was not afraid of the haunted mansion in the slightest. Traces of her life here can be found almost everywhere, under willow trees, by the lake, on stone tables. The woman eventually walked into the master room, and Yaya followed, crossing the threshold.

Antique, the configuration here can hardly see the traces of modernity, except for the switch of a few lights at the entrance is also related to the electricity of modern civilization, the other configurations almost all imitate the life of the ancients. The study on the right hand side is full of ancient scrolls, and the brush and ink table on the desk is a skill that Yaya does not know, and this room is cleaned, and I don't know if it is to commemorate that Anya has been finely cleaned, or it was cleaned to welcome her arrival. The master bedroom on the left-hand side is an ancient bed with the curtain down, and this bed may have slept not only with Zishu Anya, but also with the beloved of the prince who once lived here.

Yaya closes her eyes to feel the aura of the once human presence here, only to be interrupted by a call.

"Anya?"

Yaya instantly turned her head to look behind her, and next to the table and chair for the guests, a dark figure in the shape of a woman appeared.

It is the cup soul, the cup soul with the red core, because of the precipitation of time, it has become powerful, lingering, will hide the breath, will transform into a human form. It, maybe it's her, probably the beauty who hanged here a hundred years ago.

"Anya, why did you come back so late? I listened to your words and hid well without anyone finding out. The dark shadow said this, like a weak girl, telling her eldest sister that she was obedient.

Yaya understands that this cup soul is the cup soul that Zishu Anya has been helping to hide, and maybe when Zishu Anya went out to do her last mission, he told her to hide well.

But why? Why did her mother leave the soul alone, and even raise her?
