Yu Siqi, who had left the workshop, came next door, where Luo Ning, dressed in a loose robe, was packing food. When he noticed him coming with an empty bowl, he raised his head and asked, "Do you want to serve rice?" There's still some in the pot over there, go get it yourself. ”

"No... No, I'm here to return the bowl. Yu Siqi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I've eaten enough." I heard that you made this meal, which is not bad! ”

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment."

Luo Ning opened his mouth slightly, as if he was very happy. Then he seemed to realize that his present appearance was a little frightening, so he hurriedly lowered his head and went on with the work at hand.

"I'm sorry, I forgot that I only had this set of bones left. Please put the bowl in the sink over there, thank you. ”

"It's okay, is there anything I need help with?" After Yu Siqi did so, he returned to Luo Ning's side and asked.

"Thank you for your kindness, there are indeed some things that are inconvenient for me to come out on my own, but I have asked the priest to deal with it, and I think with his ability and tongue should be able to solve it properly." Luo Ning said without raising his head.

After listening to Luo Ning's words, Yu Siqi vaguely understood why Father An wanted to talk to Gong Chen alone. Combined with the unnatural expressions he had seen from Gong Chen before, he roughly understood what was going on. As he was gradually sorting out what was going on, Luo Ning pointed above him and said, "By the way, it looks like you should be free now." Why don't you go upstairs and shout for the tax for me... Wan Jie, it's almost time to leave for somewhere else. ”

"Upstairs?"

Yu Siqi looked in the direction he was pointing, and found that a straight ladder was hanging down from the inconspicuous small opening. When he stretched his head over, Yu Siqi found that he could only see the wooden roof, but nothing else. But since it was something that Luo Ning asked him to do, it was probably not dangerous.

Since the stairs are not very long, Yu Siqi, who had just eaten a full meal, climbed to the top after dividing five by two. Accustomed to looking left and right, it didn't take him much time to find Wan Jie. It turned out that she was now sitting upright in a chair by the window, as if enjoying a good time alone.

The golden sunlight shone on Wan Jie's body through the painted square glass, and I don't know if it was the light. Her current side face looks quite a bit holy in it, and people dare not approach it easily.

Isn't it a little offended that you are in the past? For his own reasons, Yu Siqi, who was hanging on the stairs and was undecided, did not move for a while. Until Wan Jie's voice came into his ears: "Since you are here, why don't you dare to step forward?" Am I that scary? ”

was said by the other party, Yu Siqi naturally couldn't escape directly. Descending the stairs to the ground, he walked slowly to the other party and said, "It's not that I'm afraid, but for polite reasons, I don't want to be too offended." ”

"It's okay, for the sake of you've helped me before. I'm not going to worry about your status, after all, you're just an outsider, and you're not familiar with our rules. Wan Jie moved her gaze from the window to Yu Siqi and said, "After talking so much, I haven't asked your name yet!" ”

"Yu Siqi, my name is Yu Siqi." Yu Siqi actually wanted to avoid the other party's gaze, but for some reason he didn't realize it.

"That rough boy with a bow is called Gong Chen, what an uneducated guy." Wan Jie still looked at him directly, not at all uncomfortable.

Although Yu Siqi didn't want to deny the evaluation given by the other party, when it came to his friends, he still hoped that he wouldn't be so 'harsh'. Therefore, he tried to defend Gong Chen: "He is actually very cultivated, but he is used to giggling with us, and he hasn't corrected it for a while." ”

"I'm in a hurry to intercede for each other, it seems that your relationship is really good." Wan Jie inadvertently brushed her long hair and said, "Sometimes I really envy you mortals who can make friends. ”

'Mortal'? Why did these two words sound so harsh, but Yu Siqi then remembered that the other party seemed to be really the 'god' here, so he didn't care about it anymore. After all, if you turn your face directly, the follow-up communication may have to be terminated early.

'Let me let you be a god on high again.' Yu Siqi thought for a moment, and then said, "Don't you have any friends?" ”

"Friends?" Wan Jie sneered, supported her head with her hand, tilted her head and said, "God is lonely, not to mention who do you think dares to be friends with me here?" Don't forget, even my own biological father lost the courage to look at me after I was chosen to be the Three Pillars. ”

"Speaking of what it was like to be chosen, it sounds a little weird." Yu Siqi's curiosity was hooked by the other party's words.

"You should be able to guess that I wasn't born to be a god, after all, I have a father who has lost even my flesh and blood, and in fact, I have a mother who is always scheming with others." Wan Jie said in a cold tone: "But this time the Heavenly Cup did not summon her, which is a wise move, after all, she is as ordinary as the other civilians in the village." In fact, it seems a bit too radical to say this now. You know, when I was your age, I was just a mortal, and I dreamed of finding a prince charming all day long. But just as 'gold always shines,' when our family and other neighbors went to the sanctuary to worship. We had no idea that the Mistress was there, and it seemed that she had deliberately stayed there because of something particularly important. ”

When Wan Jie said this, her expression changed, she became a little excited, and she didn't know if it was her own illusion, Yu Siqi vaguely saw some moist liquid condensing in her eye sockets.

Then she added: "I still remember that it was a glorious moment that changed my ordinary life, just a word, a look, and a finger. It's as if the woman in white who came out of the painting just stood there, and I was ashamed of everything. Not to mention that when she spoke, the words like fairy music were always vivid and unforgettable. ”

"So you're like this?"

Yu Siqi waited for a long time and found that the other party was already intoxicated with the memories of the past, so he asked casually.

"What do you mean by 'becoming like this'?"

Wan Jie seemed to be quite mindful of Siqi's words, but fortunately, she was in a good mood now, so she didn't care about Siqi's 'radical words'.

Yu Siqi, who realized that his words didn't seem to be appropriate, hurriedly appeased the other party with a more euphemistic expression, and could be regarded as fooling the past. Then, Wan Jie spoke again. This time, she seemed to have returned to her usual facial paralysis expression, and said in a cold tone: "By the way, do you have something to look for me, after all, I don't think you look like the kind of person who will talk to me on purpose." ”

"Hmm... Ronin let me tell you you're almost ready to go. ”

Although Yu Siqi regretted that he couldn't find out more news from the other party, this exchange was relatively successful, at least enough for him to share it with Father An.

"In that case, let's go down." Wan Jie quickly stood up and walked towards the staircase. Yu Siqi noticed that she was probably in a much better state than before because she had had a good rest.

Just as they were about to reach the staircase, Wan Jie, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned her head and said to him: "No matter what, thank you for being willing to talk to me, I think this is probably one of the reasons why Luo Ning called you up." ”

Wan Jie's sudden move made Yu Siqi feel that the other party might not be really cold-blooded and ruthless, but just suppressed his emotions because of some kind of change. Of course, this is only his personal speculation, and there is no real basis. If you have time to discuss it with Father An, you may be able to gain something.
