Chapter 13: Difficult Girl
Β·
Yuan Huang replied categorically: "Master, he has traveled all over the world. β
This is a rhetoric that he has already thought of on the road, and it is the best choice at the moment. The laws of this continent are very capricious, and no one cares about killing a passerby, but killing a big man is a big trouble for the sky. The fact is that Yuan Huang inadvertently cast a terrifying celestial magic and blew up the prophet and his party to the point that there was not even a single scum left. He didn't want to be wanted. But then again, since there were no witnesses and no corpses left, it was up to him to say whatever he wanted.
Xiao Youxiang couldn't hide her surprise when she heard this: "Huh? So suddenly? Why? β
"Master is a top-level prophetic archmage, who has penetrated all kinds of mysteries, and even if he says what he thinks, no one will be able to understand it. How would I know? Yuan Huang shrugged his shoulders and pretended to have a helpless expression, "Actually, I also thought it was very sudden, but that's the way it is." β
"In which direction?"
"I didn't see it. He only said, "You go check the meteorite, I'm going to travel all over the world, don't come to me," and then sent me to the place where the meteorite fell, and when I came back, there was no trace of Master. β
Xiao Youxiang's face was full of suspicion when she heard this, tilting her head and blinking her eyes continuously, in disbelief.
"I don't believe it. I'm going to tell my father. β
"Of course."
Yuan Huang was very calm, because there was no proof of death.
He had to be sure that the Prophet was not dead, or he would be the biggest murder suspect if he was still alive. is not only because he is worried about getting into trouble for murder, but also because Xiao Yuxiang's father is a prophet's inseparable friend, and the father and daughter should not know the truth the most. It is not difficult to imagine the anger of the Teleportation Emperor after learning of the death of the Prophet.
He originally wanted to ask why Xiao Youxiang came over today, not the Teleportation Emperor himself, but in the end he decided that it would be better to talk less and send the other party away as soon as possible.
"The Prophet's mana has been restored?"
"Since the meteorite fell, Master has been able to predict the future again. He looked very shocked at the time, and then decided to travel all over the world, very suddenly. I guess I see a very exciting future, right? As an apprentice, it is inconvenient for me to speculate. β
"What happened to the meteorite?"
"I checked."
"Take me to see it?"
"I'm sorry, but Master told me not to bring anyone there."
"What's the matter with this staff? What the Prophet left you? β
"I can only answer that it is related to meteorites, and it is also what the master told me to keep it secret for the time being."
Yuan Huang's answer was like a stream, because it was a rhetoric that he had thought of on the road before. The more Xiao Youxiang listened, the more strange she felt, but she couldn't find a flaw, and her mouth was pouting.
Nailed it?
Yuan Huang couldn't help but secretly show a triumphant smile.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Youxiang suddenly pointed to Yuan Huang's pocket and asked, "That's the artifact fragment of the prophet, right?" Why is it in your hands? β
"This, this is ......"
Worst.
Yuan Huang was surprised to find that the artifact fragments that had been hidden in the depths of the pocket unknowingly ran to the edge of the pocket, revealing a part of it. Against the backdrop of a dirty torn cotton jacket, it shows a glossy cyan color that is hard to ignore. Probably caused by the demon wolf when he fell to the ground. Fortunately, the other piece was not found.
He didn't think of anything about artifact fragments in advance, so he could only break them in a hurry.
"This artifact fragment is a gift left by Master before leaving."
After that, Xiao Youxiang showed a suspicious expression, which seemed to be the most unbelievable one she had heard among the many words: "Are you sure, it was given to you?" β
"Of course it was given to me." Nonsense, it's not a gift, can it be a relic that Yuanhuang killed the prophet and then picked up from under the pit?
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely."
Yuan Huang's heart gradually lost his confidence, because he didn't know anything about the artifact fragments. Why is Xiao Youxiang so suspicious, could it be that a sentence missed the filling?
He stared at each other, and the other party stared at him.
After a long time, the other party completely made Yuan Huang stupid with just one sentence - "I know." Well, you're my fiancΓ© from now on. β
"What!"
"FiancΓ©."
Yuan Huang held his forehead and waved his hand again and again to stop Xiao Youxiang from continuing. He was a little confused. How did things suddenly come to this point? I was talking about the artifact fragments just now, why is it a lifetime in half a second?
Indeed, Yuan Huang admits that he has some affection for the other party, but it is only to the extent that he has occasionally laughed a few times in the past three years. In addition, after chatting with him just now, I realized that Xiao Youxiang has an aggressive momentum to get to the bottom of it, which is very difficult. It stands to reason that it would be a happy thing to suddenly have a young lady who wants to be a wife, but ah but! While pies fall from the sky, there are traps waiting on the ground, which is common sense. Besides, because Xiao Youxiang is the daughter of the prophet's sworn friend, it is inevitable that the East Window incident will happen, and it will be too late for Yuanhuang to hide! I couldn't be glad about that.
"Why did it suddenly become a marriage contract?"
Xiao Youxiang was a little surprised when she heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Didn't the prophet tell you anything?" β
Didn't say any! Yuan Huang's cheeks twitched, and he swallowed this sentence back, just shaking his head.
"So, did I give you artifact fragments without saying anything?" Xiao Youxiang pressed her finger to her chin and thought for a while, then smiled, "Reason, keep it secret." β
!
Even if Yuan Huang has a good impression of Xiao Youxiang, there are more reasons to refuse this marriage contract. He clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply to Xiao Youxiang, meaning "Grandma, don't play with me", then brushed the other party's side, pushed the door and walked into the wooden house.
"Yuan Huang, can you put on the artifact fragment and let me see it?"
Ignore it and go straight to the study.
"Would you like to put it on and let me see it?"
Ignore it, burying your head in rummaging through books about artifact fragments and celestial palaces.
Seeing that she was being ignored, Xiao Youxiang snatched the book from Yuanhuang's hand, crossed her waist and asked, "What are you doing?" People talk to you. β
Yuan Huang looked extremely impatient: "I really have something urgent, you can talk about it later." β
"Nope." As she spoke, Xiao Youxiang pulled out the artifact fragments in Yuan Huang's pocket, and handed them to Yuan Huang with her jade fingers stacked on top of each other, "This is more important than anything else, you must wear it right now." β
Alas.
Yuan Huang sighed deeply, took the artifact fragment, sat directly on the ground from a squatting position, shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Okay, good, but you see, when Master gave me the artifact fragment, he didn't leave the lanyard with it." It's just such a bare slate, even if you want to wear it, you can't help it. β
Xiao Youxiang heard that Yuan Huang was slightly relieved, and became happy: "That's easy to say, I know where the prophet will put the lanyard." After all, I sent the spare lanyard. With that, he turned around and bent down to rummage through the chests and drawers. Looks like you really know.
β¦β¦ The scenery is good, and it is estimated that a boy can be born.
No, no, now is not the time to think about this.
Yuan Huang stared at Xiao Youxiang's back and stopped what he was doing. He noticed that the other party was very obsessed with "putting on the artifact fragment", and many of the previous questions could be prevaricated in a few words, but this time he did not give up, and it seemed that there was something else hidden.
"Xiao Youxiang, I want to ask, what will happen if I can't wear the artifact fragment?"
"Oops, how is that possible!" Even if he turned his back to him, he seemed to know that Xiao Yuxiang was laughing, "There are only two situations in which the artifact fragment changes hands. Either it's a gift, or it's been in an ownerless state for a long time. Since the Prophet left you the artifact fragment, of course you can wear it around your neck. Otherwise, it's robbed. β
Forehead?
β¦β¦ Forehead?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Forehead!
"Sure enough, it's here." Xiao Youxiang finally turned out a lanyard from the inside of the drawer, carried it with both hands, handed it to Yuan Huang, and said with a smile, "Now, here you go, lanyard." β
It's just an ordinary rope with special hooks at both ends, but in the eyes of Yuan Huang at this moment, it has become a terrifying existence like a gallows rope.
