Chapter Eighty-Nine: The White Rose in the Dark

Previous Chapter

"Boom. ”

The clay bowl landed on the wooden table with a soft, muffled sound. The shopkeeper and owner gently put the beef noodles that had just come out of the pot in front of the girl and said.

"Guest, you want beef noodle soup. ”

The girl looked at the crystal clear broth in the bowl and the noodles in the soup with bright eyes under the cloak, gently picked up her chopsticks, picked up a few and put them in her mouth.

Seeing the girl begin to eat, the man unbuttoned his apron again, turned around and prepared to go back to the kitchen to clean up.

"It's not bad, but it's still much worse than what the imperial chef in the palace makes. ”

After chewing and swallowing the noodles in her mouth, the girl put down her chopsticks and said without emotion.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was stunned, he stopped, turned to look at the girl, and had an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Guest officer, I am speechless about what you say, how can my small shop be compared with the dignified imperial kitchen. ”

The shopkeeper took off his sleeves, picked up the burning stick leaning against the wall, and walked towards the back kitchen separated by the wooden planks, but his vision remained unwavering from the cloaked girl beside him.

"Then, there's no need to waste time eating, let's solve it quickly, I have to go back to see her. ”

The girl put down her chopsticks, pushed the pottery bowl away, and stood up. The black cloak that had been hanging on the chair fell, making a gentle grinding sound.

At this moment, the whole room fell into a deathly silence, except for the creak of the door slowly closing.

"Heh, is it better to strike first? ”

Even if she didn't look behind her, the girl knew that the enemy was moving. So she lifted her cloak and threw it at the beams.

。。。

"Well, it's so full!"

Yu Qinglian gently put the delicate bamboo chopsticks on the plate, leaned on the wooden chair, and let out a satisfied murmur in his mouth, and then asked the four people sitting in the same seat.

"What do you think of this meal? ”

"Thank you Miss Yu, this is really the best meal we have ever eaten in our lives!"

At this time, the delicacies on the table were almost wiped out, and everyone leaned back in their chairs, savoring the delicacies.

"You two don't have a pestle there, come and sit down here!"

Seeing that everyone was satisfied, Yu Qinglian suddenly leaned back and said towards the empty rear.

"Hmm, Miss Yu, there's no one there!"

Su Qingyu picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth, and looked behind Yu Qinglian, but no one could see it.

"It's just the technique of concealment, if your Divine Soul cultivation is strong enough, I'm afraid that you can find the two of them with a little Divine Soul Exploration. ”

Yu Qinglian straightened his leaning body and explained to Su Qingyu and the others who were looking at each other. But, after a while, there was still no one on the chair beside her.

"Hurry up, don't be careful, they're all your future subordinates anywayβ€”these are the four I told you about who will be members of the Dark Guard-Reveal Keeper. ”

After Yu Qinglian said such words, two men finally appeared behind her, bending down and saluting Yu Qinglian.

They are the twin walls of Ji Guo's secret guards, Huang Yuewu and Sima Rong. Aside from their identity as the leaders of the secret guard, the two of them, as students who graduated from Tianyan Academy three years ago, can be regarded as famous, and at the age of twenty, they have reached the peak of the Mixed Yuan Realm, and they are also the best among the previous students of Tianyan Academy.

However, in this way, the two proud sons of heaven were still extremely respectful in front of Yu Qinglian.

"Sister Yu, are these four what you saw with your own eyes?"

The long-haired man, Sima Rong, pulled out the chair next to Yu Qinglian's seat, crossed Erlang's legs and sat up, and asked Yu Qinglian with a hippie smile.

"That's right, these four are definitely cultivable materials, and when they are admitted to Tianyan Academy to practice for a few years, they may be even stronger than you now. ”

Yu Qinglian picked up a piece of snowflake cake with two fingers, put it in his mouth, and said to Sima Rong.

"Huh, is that a high rating?"

Hearing these words, Sima Rong's eyebrows raised, and his eyes swept over Liang Yansheng and the others around the table.

Feeling Sima Rong's gaze, Su Qingyu and the four of them laughed embarrassedly. Especially Mu Furong and Liang Yansheng, the two of them have heard of the names of Sima Rong and Huang Yuewu, these two people are in the first and second positions on the previous wizard list, and in their generation, they are the same level of wizards as Chu Mohua and Yue Qingshan.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, we still have to learn more from our predecessors. ”

Liang Yansheng and Mu Furong said no, and raising them and these two real Tianjiao to a unified position really tormented them.

"Yu. Sister, let's talk about these inconsequential things in my spare time, let's get down to business first. ”

Another short-haired man, Huang Yuewu, frowned slightly, interrupting everyone's conversation, and at the same time glared at Sima Rong, who had just picked up the snowflake cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

The pressure exuded by Huang Yuewu from the inside out made Liang Yansheng and the others all stand up on their backs for a while, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense, and even Sima Rong almost dropped the dim sum in his hand to the ground.

"Well, okay, then you can report the situation first, and we'll have a little more heartβ€”no delay anyway. ”

When everyone was affected, Yu Qinglian smiled casually, picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Sima Rong. And the moment Yu Qinglian spoke, the force that oppressed everyone to the point that they couldn't move suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Bah, you guy, you actually touched the threshold of the Open Heaven Realm?! Moreover, even if you want to, you don't need to use this half-hung inner heaven and earth, you can't even control the target of the attack, it's a shame!"

After getting rid of the shackles of pressure, the first thing Sima Rong said was to mock Huang Yuewu, although it sounded inexplicably sour.

"But, isn't your half-hung inner world still easily unraveled by Sister Yu? ”

Hearing Sima Rong's words, Huang Yuewu's cold and angular face was flushed with an incommensurate flush, he turned his head slightly, escaped the ridicule of his old friend, and began to talk about business to block Sima Rong's mouth.

"Ahem, cough, that, we listened to Sister Yu's words, and when you returned to the city, we will investigate all the suspicious people, and we have found a total of two suspected spies, and now we have sent someone to investigate the details of the two. ”

"Who was sent?"

Yu Qinglian interrupted Huang Yuewu's words and asked him. She was very concerned about this mission, after all, in her understanding, the entry into the city of Youxiong City was extremely strict, not to mention the eyeliner of her secret guards and intelligence department, it was impossible to hide in this city for so long without being discovered - but, such a thing happened.

"Don't worry, it's Mei who sent out. ”

The corners of Sima Rong's mouth raised, took the words, and said with great confidence.

"Then don't worry, since it's her. ”

。。。

Before, when the girl appeared, the man knew that it was not easy for this person who could escape the detection of his soul.

And when he heard the girl's words, his whole body was stiff - this girl was from Ji Kingdom, and moreover, it was coming straight at him.

He didn't have time to think about what was wrong with his seamless lurking, and in the face of a menacing enemy, he could only strike first.

However, the maiden threw her cloak at Kong, revealing her previously hidden head, which was a short white hair, as white as snow, and on top of her head, a pair of wolf ears of the same color.

The moment she took off her cloak, she swung her right arm behind her, easily blocking the burning stick that smashed into her back, and the force of her counterattack even staggered back the attacking man.

"Mobei, barbarian!"

Repelled or something, it doesn't matter anymore. When the man saw the girl's pair of wolf ears, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in disbelief. He knew that in the face of this special group of people, even if it was just a girl, he had no chance of winning at all.

"Hmm, let's say, who are you from, you actually know the Mobei barbarians. ”

The girl turned her back to the shopkeeper and said coldly, after all, there are not many people who know about the existence of this race.

"I have no comment, if you want to take your life, just come. ”

To the girl's question, the man replied resolutely. There's no way he's going to betray his organization, a belief he's held since he's been a part of itβ€”so he's decided, let's fight to the death.

"Then I can only wipe you out. ”

Facing the man who was about to give it a go, the girl did not turn around, but slowly raised her hand. Suddenly, the man's vision was dyed black.

Black is not an adjective, but a real flowing black.

The black cloak that floated in the air turned into a black source, quickly engulfing the small hut.

Here, there is no longer a trace of light, there are no fingers left, only the figure of the girl can still be seen clearly.

The vision was filled with the sudden darkness, but the man did not panic, even though he could not see his own face, but he knew that he was smiling.

"Born in darkness and continuated by life, we awakened beings in darkness will redeem this filthy world with the fire of the Holy Lord, and even if we die for it, our souls will eventually return to the Holy Lord and become the fire of salvation. ”

The man whispered to himself, mobilized the spiritual power of his whole body, and gathered it on the burning stick in his hand. Those gray spiritual powers suddenly burned, yes, they burned, like flames. But the light of the flame was swallowed up by the darkness that enveloped all sides.

"Ahh!!!h

He lifted the burning stick and rushed towards the girl, the skin in the flames crumbling, but he did not hesitate.

"Hey, life-burning spiritual skills, it seems that your organization is not a good one. ”

The girl turned and looked at the man who rushed forward with some pity, her lips lightly furled. Then, she raised her hand again.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let your important organization be ruined. ”

In the invisible blackness, it was as if something had come out of it, engulfing the man's fiery body with nothing left, not even making a sound.

"So, rest in peace. ”

。。。

In the small noodle restaurant, it is still exactly the same as before, and most of the remaining bowls of beef noodle soup on the table are still steaming. It's just that in this noodle shop, there is one less person, and there is a burning stick.

"What a pathetic man. ”

The girl looked at the empty room, sighed slightly, and sighed with emotion.

She reached into the air, took the black cloak that had fallen from the air, put it back on her body, and turned to leave.

"Hmmm... ”

At this time, she suddenly saw the noodle soup on the table that was still nine points full, and fell into deep thought.

This bowl of noodles is actually quite good, if the ingredients are better, it may not taste worse than the imperial chef in the palace - and to this extent, the person who plays the role of the noodle restaurant owner must really like it before he thinks about it.

Perhaps, for this reason, the girl pulled out the bench and sat down again, picked up the noodles with chopsticks, and put them in her mouth.

After the noodles were finished, the girl looked at the soup in the bowl and pondered for a few more seconds, then picked up the clay bowl and drank it until the bottom of the bowl was empty.

Putting down the clay bowl and wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, the girl stood up and disappeared into the darkness in the corner.

At this point, the noodle restaurant has finally finished serving its last guest.
