I sat on the couch for half an hour before I came to my senses, and although the lights were already on and the heating in the air conditioner was still available, I didn't feel any warmth.

Zhang Xiaofei has already left, she felt my fear and immediately drifted away, I have to say that she is still a pure and lovely girl, even if she has been in the world for eleven years as a ghost, she still maintains a kind attitude, which has to be admired by me.

"Drink some bars, maybe you'll be more comfortable," Wu Yue's voice sounded, and I came back from my still thoughts, glanced up at him, and took a long sip of wine from my neck.

Wine is something that sometimes works, at least I've drunk a little now, and the chill around me has dispelled a lot and slowly returned to a normal state.

After I was able to think normally, I opened my eyes and asked Chu Junxi, who had already sat back opposite, "How did you do it?" ”

At this time, I could already think of the end of the daydream, it was Zhang Xiaofei who made a noise from the room, but Chu Junxi obviously didn't want Sister Zhang's mother and daughter to meet, maybe he still minded that his wife's death was inseparable from Sister Zhang's strong personality, so he stopped her so ruthlessly.

But how did Sister Zhang learn that her daughter's ghost was still in the world, and she tried her best to get close to Chu Junxi, just to see her daughter again?

"A secret technique of the Wu clan," Chu Junxi has probably decided not to hide it from me anymore, since even Zhang Xiaofei has called it out, naturally there is nothing to hide, "I found this secret technique from a broken ancient book, and I spent a lot of energy hiding her in the world, all these years, I have been trying to find a way to bring her back from the dead, but in vain, it is really a failure." He smiled wryly and poured a large sip of red wine on his neck.

I listened with a little tightness in my chest, and somehow I thought of Ling Kai in my head.

He was born a wizard, and he is still an alternative wizard with his own ghost eyes, does it indicate that he may have supreme mana, and may be able to help Zhang Xiaofei be reborn?

But I quickly thought of Liang Xiaoxi's words before, and felt that this kind of thing going against the sky was bound to pay a heavy price, how could I put Ling Kai in a dangerous situation? Hurriedly brushing away this ridiculous idea, I hesitated and asked, "Do you know anything about Sister Zhang's death?" ”

Chu Junxi shook his head, "I'm sorry, we really don't know the cause of her death, I know you doubt me, but she is Xiaofei's mother after all, I won't kill her to hurt Xiaofei's heart, what do you think?" ”

His words are not unreasonable, since he tried his best to keep his wife's ghost away, he naturally really loves her, how could a person who still has true love in his heart kill Sister Zhang in such cold blood, so that Xiaofei hates him for the rest of his life?

But if it wasn't for Chu Jun's past, why did Sister Zhang die?

I suddenly felt that the mystery in my heart was deeper, and I really couldn't think of any other reason.

The three of them were silent for a long time before I raised my wrist to look at my watch, and saw that it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and I couldn't help but think of Yun Zhi's safety, so I hurriedly put down the wine glass in my hand, and asked Wu Yue when I got up, "Mr. Wu, I'm sorry, I may have something at home that needs to be dealt with, can I ask you for two days off?" ”

He moved back into the couch, still looking at me in a leisurely posture, and asked with a smile, "Of course, but don't mind telling me what's wrong?" ”

"I'm sorry, it's a family matter."

"Okay, you go back, I'll talk to Zhao Zheng."

"Thank you, Mr. Wu, thank you, Mr. Chu, for explaining to me tonight, I think I believe you." After finishing my remarks, I thanked them with a smile and hurried out the door.

Not long after passing through Merlin, I felt a flash in front of my eyes, Ling Kai's figure floated in front of me like a ghost, he couldn't help but press me into his arms, and asked in a deep voice, "Where have you been?" Why can't I find your breath? ”

His voice was low and heavy, with unconcealed tension and worry.

I was stunned for a moment, and felt that the cold aura on his body was even worse, probably because he had stayed in the night for too long, and there was still a little cold plum fragrance on his body, and my heart was warm, and I smiled, "I'm fine, I just went to ask the leader for leave, have you been looking for me?" ”

He slowly pushed me away, his calm eyes slowly looking at the position behind me.

I followed his gaze, behind the snow-white plum forest, the red building was half hidden and half visible, and the hazy light was permeated in the night, revealing a strange loneliness and cold silence, which was in stark contrast to the unbearable heat in the small building, and I felt some emotion for no reason.

"Let's go, let's go back first," I grabbed Ling Kai's hand, wanting to go back with him, but I pulled but didn't pull, I looked up and saw that he was still staring at the small red building, there was an inexplicable aura surging in his eyes, that breath felt a little dangerous, I asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" Ling Kai? ”

Listening to my name, he finally came to his senses and shook his head at me, without explaining anything.

When we got back to my room, he watched me pack up and asked, "Do you need me to go back with you?" ”

"No, it's not very far, I won't leave until tomorrow morning, you better stay here to help Captain Sheng solve the case, I also hope to find Sister Zhang as soon as possible, and find out the real culprit for her and Xiao Ai, so that they can leave with peace of mind."

He fell silent and did not speak for a long time.

The reason why I have confidence is also because I have tasted cultivation for the first time, and I want to continue exercising and improve my ability as soon as possible when I go back, so that I can not only protect myself earlier, but also protect the people I want to protect in the future, such as Yun Zhi and Ling Kai. Although he is also very powerful, I am always a little worried about him, especially after learning about his mysterious background, and I have the urge to protect him in turn.

Maybe his character is destined for me to take the initiative, instead of waiting for him to save me again and again and be affected for me. Just like Hua Yan, if it weren't for my incompetence, she wouldn't have turned into a vampire monster, and she is still sealed in an abandoned factory outside the city, this matter has become an eternal pain in my heart, and I can't bear the same thing anymore!

But I didn't want Ling Kai to know about this, because he didn't want me to have any contact with these Xuanmen spells, which could be seen from the matter of the Xuanguang Mirror, he probably just wanted me to live a peaceful life and not change anything because of any impact on the events around me.

But he didn't really understand, I didn't want to be a burden and a burden to him, and I didn't want to wait powerlessly every time something happened, which was not pleasant.

When I finished packing up, I saw that he was still sitting motionless outside the window, his eyes were calm, and I didn't know what he was thinking or nothing at all.

I remember asking Jiang Hongming this question before, and his answer made me understand a truth, men and women are different, most of them are not as sentimental as women, sometimes they look motionless as if they are contemplating, in fact, their minds are blank, they don't think about anything at all, it's just that women are too careful.

So, I walked over to him, reached out and wrapped my arms around his cold neck, and said to him gently, "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself." ”
