Outside a small courtyard in Huangzhou City, Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was dressed as a scholar, walked outside the courtyard with all kinds of miscellaneous items in his hands when night had just fallen.

She had just bought it in the bookstore in the city, because she had gone out before the sun went down, and now she had come back when the sun had set.

Just before she was about to push the door in, she was suddenly stopped.

"Xiao Zhou, hey, Xiao Zhou, wait a minute."

At that moment, the muscles in Zhou Xiaoxiao's body instantly tensed, ready to attack at any time.

I believe that just by seeing her state, you will know, that's right, the one Qin Zi saw today is her.

And now she's clearly in trouble.

She turned and looked at the person who had stopped her with a smile on her face.

It was a middle-aged woman who lived nearby.

"Aunt Zhang, what's the matter?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao's voice has changed and become a man's voice, although it may be a little sharp as a man, but normal people will not realize that this is a woman, or a girl.

The middle-aged woman known as Aunt Zhang found her, pulled him aside, and even motioned with her eyes for her to put down what she was holding first.

Zhou Xiaoxiao did so, but in this process, her muscles tensed and were ready to burst out at any time, it was not that she suspected Aunt Zhang, in fact, Aunt Zhang had lived here before she came here, but believing that Aunt Zhang did not come to her specially did not mean that she could believe that Aunt Zhang was worth believing.

After all, people are the least trustworthy, what if she is held hostage, what if she is actually someone else's fake?

So even though she put the things in her hand on the ground, she was still vigilant in the process.

Fortunately, it seems that his disguise is still effective, at least Aunt Zhang should have no problem.

saw Aunt Zhang wait for her movements to stop, took her hand, and then stuffed her with a big yellow pear.

"Isn't it a few days before Young Master Xiao Zhou is going to take the Guanlan Academy exam, I just thought about giving him a pear and tasting it. My pear is for Young Master Xiao Zhou, don't steal it! Aunt Zhang didn't forget to advise.

Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled:

"Aunt Zhang, how can I steal it, even if it is given to me, I must give it to the young master to eat first!"

Aunt Zhang'er This is obviously a joke, in fact, I have known this Xiao Zhou for a while, and everyone around me knows that this young man is the scholar of the young master Xiao Zhou, and he usually helps him run errands and buy something.

Xiao Zhou himself is kind, enthusiastic and cheerful, and his hands and feet are quick, he is very diligent, and the young man is also good-looking, except for being a little shorter, everything else is good, and he is deeply liked by the neighbors.

And today, it was obviously because Young Master Xiao Zhou needed it, so he hurried to the bookstore before dark, bought good things before dark, and then rushed back, and now it was already dark.

In fact, a city like Huangzhou City naturally has a night market.

However, Young Master Xiao Zhou, as a young master from other places, naturally uses things of higher grade, and these things can generally only be bought during the day.

For this reason, it is hard for Xiao Zhou.

However, Xiao Zhou didn't seem to feel hard, but felt that it should be.

Aunt Zhang looked at Xiao Zhou's modest appearance, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and she wished that this was her own son.

She looked left and right, saw that there was no one around, took out a slightly smaller pear, stuffed it into Xiao Zhou's arms, and at the same time admonished:

"This is for you, it's a little smaller than Young Master Xiao Zhou, don't let Young Master Xiao Zhou see it, it will make people unhappy."

What can Zhou Xiaoxiao say? She could only shake her head and smile bitterly, and then said:

"Aunt Zhang, you really don't like this, Young Master Zhou treats me very well, he definitely won't care!"

When Aunt Zhang heard this, she continued to teach:

"You know what! Young Master Zhou is the master, let's, that's the subordinate, no matter how good Young Master Zhou is, the person is still the master, the subordinate doesn't dare to offend the master, what if the master is unhappy, what should we do? You have to remember that in the future, in front of Young Master Zhou, you must be careful, after all, such a good master as Young Master Zhou is not so easy to meet, if you make him unhappy, then you will never meet such a good master again. ”

In fact, compared with the young master Xiao Zhou, who is very kind and generous, the neighbors around him like Xiao Zhou more.

This is not because Xiao Zhou is much better than Xiao Zhou, but because most of the people who live here are relatively low-level people, even if they have a little money in the family, in fact, they are just a little higher in status, compared to the identity of the young master of a large family, it is still far worse.

So they prefer Xiao Zhou, who also has a good personality and is very close to them.

In this regard, although they usually have a very enthusiastic attitude when they meet Young Master Zhou, Zhou Xiaoxiao knows that there is an obvious flattery in that enthusiasm.

When facing Xiao Zhou, they are much closer, and they can even give him all kinds of teachings as elders like now.

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Aunt Zhang, who was a master and a subordinate, and didn't know what to say for a while, she could only take the pear in Aunt Zhang'er's hand, then bowed her head to express her gratitude, and then picked up the sundries that had just been placed on the ground, and then pushed the door into the small courtyard.

……

This is the same as the small courtyard she rented recently, here, Xiao Zhou exists as a scholar, and Young Master Zhou, because he doesn't go out often, so others rarely see it.

Nominally, this is the small courtyard rented by Young Master Zhou who is preparing to come to Guanlan Academy to take the exam, and although Xiao Zhou is his scholar, he is actually about to leave after Young Master Zhou's exam-after the exam - after all, Guanlan Academy is not allowed to bring scholars, and even letting scholars live outside the academy is not allowed.

Zhou Xiaoxiao walked into the small courtyard, the scenery here is naturally much worse than the one where Qin Zi and they lived, to be honest, it is just a very ordinary courtyard of ordinary people, and naturally there is no outstanding design and dress.

Fortunately, even though Zhou Xiaoxiao came from Lanxing's superior living conditions, she was not afraid of difficult conditions, but felt that such a place could better show her truest self.

She didn't stop in the courtyard, but locked the courtyard door and walked directly into the house.

In fact, this kind of courtyard door is meaningless to the master at all, and even the door of the inner room is meaningless.

But Zhou Xiaoxiao also knows that if those people know her identity and residence, there is no door to rely on, only her own true strength.

She, Zhou Xiaoxiao, is a powerhouse in the innate realm of martial arts!

Push open the door of the house, walk in, close the door casually, and put all the miscellaneous items you bought on the table.

There was not a handsome young master in the room who was reading hard as outsiders imagined, it was better to say that although the candle in the room was indeed lit, but before she came in, there was a person here.

This is also a matter of course, after all, the so-called Xiao Zhou and Young Master Zhou are both played by her Zhou Xiaoxiao alone.

She even paid special attention to the character design, that is, Young Master Zhou rarely goes out, but Xiao Zhou often goes out.

In fact, the setting of these two weeks is the same, the purpose is to make both young master Zhou and Xiao Zhou, these two characters rarely appear in the eyes of others.

At least in the eyes of those people, the hard-working little Zhou has already gone out, so Young Master Zhou must be at home, sure enough, after Xiao Zhou went out for a while, Young Master Zhou also came out for a walk and took a break.

Although all this is just her acting, normal people will not suspect this.

And if anyone can track it down here, then there is no point in any pretense she has.

Zhou Xiaoxiao took out two pears from her arms, and then threw them aside, she didn't plan to eat such something of unknown origin at all.

At this time, in such a world, she even felt that she should always maintain the attitude of the enemy of the world to look at everything better.

As I said before, although Aunt Zhang is fine, but what if she is coerced, what if she is simply disguised by someone else.

In this era of transcendent existence on the earth, Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't dare to be a little careless, because as long as she was a little careless, what she paid could be her own life.

However, when she saw the two pears, one large and one small, she couldn't help but feel a little ironic.

The young master Zhou who made Aunt Zhang awe and scared was actually the same person as Xiao Zhou, who she regarded as her junior, and they were both women.

It's a bit ironic that she can't help but smile a little.

But behind this smile, there is infinite sadness.

Because she thought of Aunt Zhang'er's appearance of a master and a subordinate.

The saddest thing is that if this is in Blue Star, or even if the place she has traveled to is not here, but the ancient world of Blue Star, she will scoff at this statement.

She may even quietly try to use various methods to awaken the consciousness of these people.

But in such a place, she knew, she already knew very clearly, that this was a place that was different from the blue star, a world that walked on the earth.

Here, freedom and equality are like jokes, even the most ridiculous ones.

Even Zhou Xiaoxiao is a little strange, how did words such as "freedom" and "equality" come into being in this world?

When she was in the Blue Star, she would never give up on her studies at any time, because she had known a long time ago that where, ignorance, was the sorrow of the weak, and only after mastering the power of knowledge could a person become strong.

And here, Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't even dare to tell the story of "Journey to the West" to the neighbor's children.

All because she has understood that in this world, ignorance is the only happiness for the weak.

Because of ignorance, Aunt Zhang can indulge in her master-servant world, and all she has to think about every day is to please her so-called master.

However, she may never understand for the rest of her life what kind of despair her master knows more than she does, and what kind of despair she faces every day—that is beyond the reach of mortals in a lifetime, that is extraordinary power.

Zhou Xiaoxiao sighed tiredly, after coming to this world, this is how many times she has sighed.

Even though she knew that sighing didn't make any sense, she couldn't help it.

Here, it is a fairyland with immortals; Here, too, is a doomsday full of despair!

……

There was no time to continue to be sad, and Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly recovered from that sadness.

She lays out pen and paper on the table, closes her eyes and thinks about it, and then begins to draw on the paper.

The content of her drawings is very simple, or even just a few lines piled up, and there is no beauty in it.

In fact, she is not particularly good at drawing.

But she knows how to copy what she sees on paper.

And what she drew on it was a map.

Of course, this is not the entire map of Huangzhou City, in fact, because of the very chaotic layout, she has no way to do the map of Dongcheng District.

However, she thinks that even the imperial court may not have a map of Dongcheng District that can guarantee the correctness, so she is not too worried, if she really arrives in Dongcheng District, it will completely depend on memory.

In fact, her map is not to let her understand the road, after all, her original memory is very good, after coming here, the cultivation of the innate realm is blessed, and the memory is even more amazing, and the road does not need to be drawn by herself one by one.

She drew the map so that she could understand more things, and she could understand the topography of Huangzhou City more clearly.

In fact, she went out during this time, in addition to the necessary investigation, just to draw a map of Huangzhou City.

Finally, after an hour and a half of struggle, she completed the map of this part of her hand.

She took out the map she had prepared and stitched it together to show the western part of Huangzhou City and part of the eastern part of it.

That's the key to her next move.

These days, she has not slept well since she arrived in Huangzhou City and seen the hidden evils under the city, and every time she closes her eyes, she can see the heart-wrenching scenes.

In order to allow herself to sleep well, she decided to do a cool ticket!

Even if she knows what she is doing now, it is actually useless for the overall situation, but just for the sake of a peace of mind, Zhou Xiaoxiao has already decided - she wants to kill someone!

She cast her gaze on the Huanglong River, which runs through the city.

This section is also known as the Nguyen River.

In addition to the various tributaries in the city, the largest waterway of the Nguyen River is the main road that divides the city of Huangzhou into two urban areas.

And this will be the place where the incomparably grand "Nguyen River Flower Meeting" begins.

At that time, there will be dozens of flower boats along the river.

Once these boats leave the shore, they don't stop until a long time later.

And because it was a flower boat, the speed of the boat in the water was very slow, which gave Zhou Xiaoxiao a chance.

Not only that, the "Ruan River Flower Festival" is the largest event in Huangzhou City, and at that time, the curfew will be very lax.

Maybe in the eyes of some people, at such a grand event, the yamen will expel everyone from patrolling, and the curfew should be called very strict, why does it become very lax in her eyes.

Put yourself in her shoes, how could anyone be her opponent if these yamen are fast.

When the time comes, coupled with the "Ruan River Flower Meeting", there will be a large number of people on both sides of the Ruan River, and when the time comes, you can escape whatever you want, so naturally you don't need to panic.

She kept reviewing it in her head, almost confirming that she had reached the limit of what she could do so far.

Before this, she didn't make any moves to startle the snakes, and it is even possible that those people didn't know that they were eyeing them until now, and when the time came, the success rate would be very high when they did it at the Ruan Hehua Meeting.

Confirming that she had reached her limit, she sighed and rubbed her forehead, she was really tired now.

When she was in Blue Star, she felt that those repetitive, indifferent daily routines were simply boring to the point of exploding.

But only when she really came to such a place where human life was like mustard could she truly feel that her past was living in the happiness that her predecessors exchanged for their lives.

However, if she was given a chance to choose, she thought, she would still choose this kind of life.

At the end of the day, she is not a virgin person.

No matter how miserable the life of the people here is, she herself, because she is already in the innate realm, has been out of the sea of suffering to a certain extent, and may even have the opportunity to peek into a higher realm, and at that time, she may have a longer life and stronger strength.

Compared to having nothing at Blue Star, and even having to be completely attached to her adoptive parents who didn't like her so much, her life will be much better here.

And more importantly, here, her true nature can be released, she can no longer pretend to be a good child, to win the praise of others, she does not need to waste time managing those fake relationships, but only pursue the truth she wants.

Here she will receive her own salvation.

Even if the lives of ordinary people here are very poor, then just try to change them.

She looked at a house on the map, made sure she had the whole map in her head, and then slowly lowered it all into the brazier.

Watching the tongue of fire keep licking the white paper, and finally burned it to ashes, Zhou Xiaoxiao's eyes seemed to flash, the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, and she whispered:

"I'm sorry, I have to kill you for the sake of my peace of mind......"
