22. Dark Tide (Medium)

The master and the servant looked at each other silently, without a sound, without any response, and the dark room became more and more quiet.

Just when Ji Haiyun thought that Zhang Hanguang would not respond again, he opened his mouth calmly, but what he said was not an answer, but a question.

"Haiyun, you really don't remember?"

"What do you remember?"

The inquiry about the cause and effect made Ji Haiyun confused.

"Her name."

Feeling that this question was very unbelievable, Ji Haiyun couldn't help frowning: "Old man, I only saw her for the first time yesterday, and that name is also the first time I've heard of it, how can I say 'remember'?" ”

Sighing silently, Zhang Hanguang's eyes were burning, word by word.

"It's only been eight years, and you've forgotten that name?"

"Old man, what are you talking about......

Before he finished speaking, the voice behind him disappeared into the air, and Ji Haiyun's eyes widened.

"'Zhang Longqian'...... 'Dragon'...... 'Diving'?!" Finally realizing what Zhang Hanguang meant, Ji Haiyun let out a short cry of sorrow from the depths of his throat, "...... eight years ago? No...... Right? ”

"That's her."

But it was impossible, and she didn't...... Unless......" raised his eyes in disbelief, but saw the solemnity and affirmation in Zhang Hanguang's eyes, Ji Haiyun's heart fell to the bottom, "Is this really the case?" That...... Old man, what did you ask me to come here for? You're ...... Aren't you afraid I'll kill her? ”

The deep voice was clearly a dangerous tone, but Ji Haiyun's eyes were almost maddened with grief.

"Before seeing her, the old man also thought about why not kill her directly, but the result ......" Zhang Hanguang smiled lightly, as if laughing at himself, "Haiyun, the old man knows very well that you won't do anything to her." ”

"So what? Did your old man send me to her like a punishment, just so that I could protect her growth? ”

Saying that, Ji Haiyun laughed self-deprecatingly, because he knew that this was impossible.

Sure enough, Zhang Hanguang immediately denied it.

"No, it's to wait for that moment." The white-haired old man sighed softly, and looked into the distance with vicissitudes of life, "Waiting for the moment when fate begins to turn again." ”

Taking a deep breath and exhaling a long breath, Ji Haiyun's expression was still calm, but his voice trembled slightly: "Old man, don't you think this is too cruel?" ”

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Hanguang spoke quietly.

"Cruel or not...... The old man has no time to take care of it, this is fate and responsibility, Haiyun, you should understand. ”

It was a helpless but unconfused voice.

Ji Haiyun lowered his head slightly.

“…… Yes, Haiyun understands. ”

Looking at Ji Haiyun with an expression hidden in the shadows, Zhang Hanguang sighed secretly, no longer said more, the figure between his hands disappeared quietly, the glowing Yaozhu became transparent again, and the room returned to darkness.

The bad premonition finally became a fact, and Ji Haiyun sat quietly on the edge of the bed, motionless.

Fate, responsibility, he understands it, of course he understands.

It is precisely because of this understanding that I hope that such a fate, such a responsibility, will disappear from that person forever.

But at this moment, he still came here involuntarily and came to Zhang Longqian's side.

It's like he's going to push his fate with his own hands one day.

How ridiculous!

In the darkness, there was a few inaudible calls, as if it was calling someone's name, it was a clear and precious voice, but it was like crying.

Anxiety and sorrow, all the negative emotions are quietly spreading in this darkness, which is suffocating.

Under the same dark night, another place has a completely different atmosphere.

In the single-family hut in the shade of the trees, there was a bright white light in the hall, which made the space of no one white and cold, and one of the rooms inside was pitch black, and the only light source was a faint red light that flickered on and off a few cigarette butts.

A few cigarette butts flickered for a long time before a guilty voice sounded.

"I'm sorry, Boss Guan, it's rare for you to come once, but I can only report this kind of news to you, I didn't expect Ji Haiyun to ...... No, it's all my poor thinking that has led to nothing in the past few days, it's all my responsibility, please lower the punishment. ”

The cigarette butt farthest away from the others flickered, and it seemed that someone had flicked the ash of the cigarette, followed by a tough male voice.

"Xue San'er, it's no wonder you, after all, who would have thought that Ji Haiyun, who disappeared on weekdays, would suddenly appear? Not to mention that you sent six subordinates, even if you, the fourth child, and the second child together, you can't be his opponent. ”

Boss Guan's voice sounded with a slight lazy smile, it seemed that there was really no meaning to blame, Xue San was relieved at this time, and listened to Tian Xingzhen on the side.

"But Ji Haiyun is too weird here, right? He is a family heirloom spell, and he is a person who has obtained the qualification of a mage a long time ago, so he has nothing to do with the academy at all, and he has hardly appeared in the Dao Law Realm, except for rumors about his strength, others don't even know what he looks like. Such a mysterious young master of the Ji family suddenly appeared for a mortal woman, this is also outrageous, right? ”

The six boys sent over said that Ji Haiyun claimed that the woman was recommended by Hanyang Zhenren, so he also followed to protect the woman. Do you believe this? ”

After Xue San finished speaking, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded.

"Didn't you hear today's rumors?"

"Rumors?"

Tian Xingzhen and Xue San's voices were a little puzzled, but they heard that Boss Guan opened his mouth with some interest.

"Second child, let's hear it."

"Yes. This rumor came from the first-class class, that is, the junior class that the mortal attended, and said that she was most likely a big man who had come to the academy with a hidden identity. ”

Saying that, the second child told the "basis" of this rumor again.

It is clearly a mortal born but the talent is ridiculously high, and the strength is strong enough to win with the middle student one-on-five, and the two powerful families of the Zhang family and the Zuo family among the five major families have a close relationship, and there is an unfathomable strength of the Sui Hu by his side.

Except for the victory of one against five, which was more or less a trick, the other facts are really irrefutable, especially the profound "Sui Hu", although no one among the junior students recognized it, it was obviously Ji Haiyun.

Xue San really couldn't understand: "I can actually treat the young master of the Ji family as a follower, what is the identity of that woman?" ”

Tian Xingzhen took a hard puff of cigarette before he spoke gloomily: "Before, I was still wondering if she was from Liu Raftersong's side, but now it seems that I guessed wrong?" Is she actually from some family? ”

The second hoarse voice sounded again: "Impossible." has the ability to treat the young master of the Ji family as a family with his followers, and there is only the Zhang family in the entire Dao Law Realm, if the woman is born in a family, Ji Haiyun will never appear. ”

"Then is she a member of the sect? But will Hanyang Zhenren send all the young masters of the Ji family out for the sake of the people of the sect? ”

Listening to the detailed argument of the three people, Boss Guan suddenly laughed, and the three of them immediately stopped their voices and waited quietly for Boss Guan to speak.

Extinguishing the cigarette butt in his hand, there was an obvious smile in Boss Guan's voice.

"You guys, you've put too much thought into her 'identity'."
