Chapter 132: Linglong Pavilion, Xue Mei
After sending Yu Shanshan and Song Wei away, Lin Yue drove the car on the way home, looking at the familiar street scene flying outside the car window, Lin Yue felt more and more lonely, things are not people!
When the car drove to the intersection near his home, Lin Yue saw a man standing at the entrance of the subway station in the distance, who looked very much like Ouyang Qi, the man glanced at Lin Yue from a distance, and then turned around and entered the subway station.
Seeing this, Lin Yue hurriedly got off the train and rushed towards the subway entrance, but when she arrived, the man had long since disappeared.
"Ouyang, was that you just now? Why don't you wait for me to leave? β
Lin Yue stood at the entrance of the subway in frustration, watching the people in front of him come and go, and muttered. After a while, she slowly turned and walked back.
Lin Yue has encountered a situation like this many times, and every time he is disappointed.
In fact, in the past four years, Lin Yue has never heard from Ouyang Qi, he seems to have disappeared from this world, if it weren't for Tang Chuan and Lin Yue's repeated assurances that Ouyang Qi is still alive, Lin Yue would have collapsed a long time ago.
In order to find Ouyang Qi, Lin Yue also created an organization, Linglong Pavilion, which is mainly used to buy and sell various news, and sometimes accepts some other commissions. Another courtyard house she bought in Kyoto was used as the headquarters of Linglong Pavilion, usually because of her busy studies, Lin Yue did not stay in Linglong Pavilion, she asked Xue Mei to help her take care of it, and Linglong Pavilion also cultivated a lot of professional talents underneath.
Xue Mei is a poor woman, three years older than Lin Yue, when she graduated from high school, she met a boy, not long after the two fell in love, Xue Mei became pregnant, the boy didn't want to take responsibility, so he left her and disappeared.
Disheartened, Xue Mei returned to her hometown, and she wanted to give birth to this child and raise it alone. But her parents thought she was ashamed, so they cut off relations with her, and Xue Mei ran away from home in a fit of anger and came to Kyoto alone to work hard.
One day, Xue Mei was on the way to work, because of long-term malnutrition, she fainted on the side of the road, resulting in the premature birth of the child, Lin Yue happened to pass by at the time and sent her to the hospital, Xue Mei was bleeding heavily when giving birth, and almost lost her life, but Lin Yue rescued her, but unfortunately, the child was not saved.
Xue Mei, who lost her child, once thought about suicide, but it was Lin Yue who persuaded her and let her regain her confidence to live.
After Lin Yue returned to the car, she rested her head on the back of the seat, closed her eyes, and sat quietly for a while, and after she felt calm, she started the car and drove in another direction, she was going to Linglong Pavilion.
At this moment, Lin Yue was eager to know if there was any news of Ouyang Qi in Kyoto recently, and whether that person was Ouyang Qi just now.
Lin Yue parked the car in front of the courtyard, she opened the door, got out of the car, and hurriedly entered the courtyard.
"Pavilion Master, why are you here at this time?"
Xue Mei, who was preparing for lunch, had just come out of the kitchen with the dishes when she saw Lin Yue walking in with a serious face.
"Sister Mei, has there been anyone who looks like Ouyang Qi in Kyoto recently?"
Lin Yue walked up to Xue Mei and stopped, and asked out loud.
Xue Mei looked at Lin Yue, didn't answer, turned around and entered the main room, put the dishes on the table, and sat down. Lin Yue saw that Xue Mei did not answer her question, nor was she in a hurry, she followed Xue Mei into the house, pulled open the stool on the dining table, sat down, picked up the chopsticks in front of Xue Mei casually, took a mouthful of the dish and put it in her mouth, and ate it.
Xue Mei looked at Lin Yue, who was eating fragrantly, shook her head helplessly, got up and went to the kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks again.
"What's wrong? Did you see someone who looks similar to Young Master Qi again today? β
Xue Mei gave Lin Yue a broccoli, put it in the bowl in front of Lin Yue, and said softly.
Lin Yue's hand in the vegetable paused, nodded slightly, and did not speak.
Xue Mei knew that Lin Yue had been looking for a man named Ouyang Qi for the past few years, and she also knew that Linglong Pavilion was built for him, and she understood the importance of Ouyang Qi, so when looking for someone, she didn't dare to relax for a moment.
"By the way, Pavilion Master, when our people went to Country M to do a mission a few days ago, they accidentally got a piece of news, which seems to be related to Young Master Qi."
"Oh? Country M? Let's hear it. β
Lin Yue put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the water cup on the side, took a sip of water, and motioned for Xue Mei to continue.
"The people who came back heard that on a remote island in the United States, there is a mysterious organization called the Temple of Killing, which specializes in the sale of murder, and has never missed, and it is rumored that the helmsman of the Temple of Death is mysterious and no one has seen his true face. However, recently, it was rumored that the boss of the Killing Hall was a 19-year-old Oriental man, who happened to be the same age as Young Master Qi, so his subordinates guessedγγγγγ β
The more Xue Mei spoke, the lower her voice became, and even she couldn't say it anymore, because the news sounded even more unreliable.
In the past few years, Lin Yue has experienced this situation no longer knows how many times, she has already gone from excitement at the beginning, to disappointment, and then to the current calm.
"Got it, if you have a chance to send someone to investigate, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case."
Lin Yue took a piece of paper, wiped her mouth, then stood up, walked to the sofa, sat down, leaned back, leaned on the back of the sofa, looked at the roof, and thought.
"The Hall of Destruction!"
"Master? How did you get here? Looking for Sister Mei? β
At this time, a big boy wearing a school uniform walked in from the outside, one meter seven and five tall, about the same height as Lin Yue, carrying a black backpack on his back, sweating profusely, at a glance, he knew that he had exercised vigorously, and the chest of his clothes was soaked with sweat and stuck to his chest, this person was Lin Yue's apprentice, fifteen-year-old Fan Yuchen.
"Going to play at noon?"
Lin Yue didn't even have to think about it, he knew why he went.
"Hehe, isn't it Friday, I'll go play for a while after school early."
Fan Yuchen handsomely threw his backpack on the sofa, then sat down at the dining table, picked up the cup that Lin Yue had just used, and raised his head to drink.
"Wow, it's so hot!"
Fan Yuchen took a sip, then quickly turned his head and spit it out, sticking out his tongue, and kept fanning his hands, like a very hot puppy.
"The! How old are you, and you're still so frizzy. β
Xue Mei hurriedly got up and poured him a glass of cold boiled water and handed it to Fan Yuchen.
Fan Yuchen hurriedly took the water cup, raised his head and drank it, and after a few sips, the cup was empty.
Fan Yuchen, who drank the water, rubbed the water cup nervously with both hands, looked at Lin Yue and stopped, after he took a few deep breaths, he finally mustered up the courage and said to Lin Yue:
"Master, I'd like to discuss something with you."
"That~Master~ I don't want to go to high school anymore~ I want to go to the army with you!"
After Fan Yuchen finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Yue cautiously.
After Lin Yue listened to Fan Yuchen's words, he didn't say a word, picked up the backpack on the sofa and threw it at Fan Yuchen, and then looked at him sharply.
"How old are you? Don't think about these things all day long, let me finish high school well. β
"Master, then you are going to be a soldier, what if I miss you?"
Fan Yuchen saw that Lin Yue disagreed, so he said to Lin Yue with an aggrieved face.
"Your master is old, and it will definitely not work without someone by his side, and after I go to the army, I will definitely not be as free as I am now, so the burden of taking care of him will fall on your shoulders."
Lin Yue patiently comforted Fan Yuchen. She knew that this apprentice had worked hard in the past few years, and in order to find Ouyang Qi, she often ran around, and she walked for several days, and the master had no one to take care of, so it was all up to Fan Yuchen.
"Okay then."
Fan Yuchen picked up his backpack and walked away dejectedly.
"Pavilion Master, you're a little too harsh on Yuchen. His parents died early, and it was not easy to come this way. β
Xue Mei looked at Fan Yuchen's back and said with some distress.
"Sister Mei, comfort is reserved for the dead, at his current age, if he doesn't knock a little from time to time, it will be too late to plant a heel in the future."
Lin Yue closed her eyes after speaking, she still thought about what she would report to the army next week.
