Bai Shiying swears.

She doesn't believe Yun Zheng's nonsense anymore!

Originally, she could have no expectations, and her blood was hot, but someone gave her anticipation, and in her expectant gaze, she confidently took out a unique ancient book thick enough to smash her, and gave her a meaningful smile.

“…… Is that what you're going to surprise me? ”

Thank you, I don't know if I'm happy or not, but I'm definitely surprised.

Yun Zheng put this book, which was very heavy in both thickness and weight, on the ground, only to hear a muffled bang, fortunately there was no dust here, otherwise both of them would have to be disgraced, Bai Shiying's face was like dead ashes, frowning eyebrows could kill ten Yun Zheng, looking at the legendary level of the lone book in front of her whose thickness had reached her waist, as if she saw her bitter enemy.

solemnly put Bai Shiying's hand on it.

It was unbelievable that Yun Zheng could still keep his face unchanged, maintaining his usual gentleness when facing Bai Shiying: "I have understood, human beings say that knowledge is power. ”

"So in the days I left, I went out of my way to find this ancient book, which records everything from the beginning of heaven and earth to the present day, and when you memorize it backwards, you will be able to become stronger!"

If you just look at his expression, people who don't know may think that he is saying something emotional.

The voice is full of emotion, and the expression is very in place.

However, as the protagonist of the close-up experience, Bai Shiying feels that the fist is full of powerful and unknown power!

"Do you believe that I will shoot you to death with it?"

When he was a child, the old master of the Bai family was angry and unsuccessful in persuading him to learn, and now the demon emperor Yun Zheng took out an unprecedented ancient book to persuade him to learn in person.

"Don't you like this gift? I went out of my way to find it. Yun Zheng's face showed three points of grievance, three points of incomprehension, and three points of crying, of course he was not afraid of being beaten, what happened to let the kitten scratch a few times, he was willing.

Bai Shiying's face couldn't understand what was in the demon's head.

'Smack! ’

An incomparably crisp slap slapped away the big hand that was forcibly holding her paw on the ancient book, Bai Shiying was frightened by the sound, and she didn't use much force......

I was looking over with a little nervousness.

But I saw someone covering his hand and looking at himself in disbelief: "I'm dedicated to you, and you actually beat me?!" ”

Bai Shiying opened her mouth, a touch of guilt welled up in her heart, and she hurriedly said, "That, I'm sorry...... I ......"

"Sure enough, what they said is right, human beings beating people is a sign of love, and if you hit me, does it mean that you love me hopelessly?" The smile on Yun Zheng's face was not fake, he smiled very happily, and he covered his hands with the meaning that no one would be allowed to touch them for the next few days.

Bai Shiying: "? ”

"You have to commit this cheap, right? Yun Zheng, don't be too outrageous!! She was still feeling guilty here, thinking that it was indeed her who started hard, Yun Zheng was not wrong, no matter what, this original history is unknown, but it can be taken out by Yun Zheng, it is definitely not a fake orphan book made up blindly, she should be grateful.

But—

I can't help it!!

Why did she think that some people changed their temperament, from unreliable at the beginning to gradually reliable, and suddenly used the cruel reality to tell her not to think about it, the nature of people is unchangeable, the devil is deep-rooted, terminally ill, it can't get better!

"Hmm~ So, don't be sad."

Just when Bai Shiying was so angry that the top of his head was about to smoke, suddenly, a big hand behind him fell lightly and rubbed it soothingly.

Yun Zheng's gentle and smiling voice accompanied by a deep and pleasant voice said slowly, invisibly as if endowed with magic power, soothing the restlessness in people's hearts.

"Although you are very good no matter what, I am selfish, and I still don't want to see you unhappy."

"Yun Zheng ......" Bai Shiying's heart moved slightly, she looked back, and the man who met her eyes was deeply imprinted in the depths of her eyes at this moment.

She took a deep breath, and a smile slowly bloomed on her face: "Thank you......"

The voice just started.

A light on the top of the head.

"So, turn your anger and anxiety into motivation, I'm sure you'll be able to read it soon, and if that's not enough, I'll have a few more — huh? Kitten what are you going to do? ”

"What to do ......"

Bai Shiying was furious, his reason was gone, he was burned, and he didn't care if he could beat it or not, so he pounced directly: "You still moved me!" You bastard!! ”

……

Enough of messing around, Bai Shiying was so angry that she returned to her room and took several deep breaths before finally suppressing the blood pressure that rushed to her head.

"As long as you can run, you can run for a while, can you still run for a lifetime? Scold! ”

The sound that fell was full of coldness from gritting teeth.

Yun Zheng didn't know where to go again, but this time it was different from before, he had never said where he was going to go when he left before, but this time he was clearly running away but he was still leisurely and beaten so that she could go to Fengxing Auction House after the matter was dealt with, and he was there.

Not to mention how much information there is without saying a word.

Bai Shiying expressed great shame that she couldn't catch anyone even if she was about to twist into a twist.

"Leave him alone."

Bai Shiying swept away the mess in her mind, and her eyes fell on the envelope that she had just taken out of her sleeve and placed on the table.

The envelope has a plain appearance.

It's so thick that it's hard not to wonder what's inside.

Bai Shiying actually read it, and at this time, her eyes still revealed three complicated colors, she only read one of the pages, and she couldn't control it anymore to find Rong Chenxi, but the moment she saw people, she knew-

This trip by myself came in vain.

Rong Chenxi is a container, and he will throw it away when he runs out.

She actually expects a blinded outcast to tell her the truth?

Bai Shiying's fingertips rubbed the white envelope thinly, and the hanging eyelashes trembled slightly to cover the emotions in her eyes, this is a very old, maybe a long time ago, an envelope from a long time ago, which records that some of them are familiar to her, because they fit perfectly with her previous life, and some are strange, because she is clearly there, but there is no trace of memory in her mind.

"My Memory ......"

Erased?

Still didn't dare to say it.

Bai Shiying couldn't help but take a deep breath again, facing the thick stack of letters, each page in it was followed by some small notes, and after being connected, it was very easy to get a complete process.

It's because I've seen a part of it.

That's why I don't know what the parts that haven't been connected in series at the back.

Ultimately.

Bai Shiying gritted his teeth.

Reach out and move the last part in front of you.

This look is a whole night.

Until dawn.

Bai Shiying, who was sitting at the table, didn't move, her whole person was like a statue that didn't know whether she was alive or dead, if it wasn't for a breath, it was no different from a dead thing.

'I have controlled Bai Shiying, according to the method you gave me, she is now obedient to me, and no one in the Bai family can see it, this method is gradual and not only the person who is recruited will not be aware of it, but the people around her will not be suspicious because of her gradual and traceable changes, so we are one step closer to our plan! ’

'Before I used the soul control technique on her, I tried it with white smoke......

'Bai Ruyan can only be regarded as a substitute, if there is a mistake, this method is not suitable for human beings, at least it should not destroy Bai Shiying's divine soul, so the immaculate experience will be greatly reduced! What is needed above is a complete and immaculate body! ’

By the way, the whereabouts of the white family are still unknown. ’

'If he falls into the Endless Forest, there will be no way to live!' But it is very strange that since he disappeared, no one in the entire Tanglin has remembered this once dazzling eldest son, only his sister Bai Shiying, and even in the memories of these people...... The Bai family, only Bai Shiying is left! ’

'Don't startle the snake, he should have used it...... So it can be done seamlessly, and it's not bad to let this development continue, look at the ...... 's children struggled, and I don't know how to feel hehehehe! ’

It is a blurred handwriting.

Bai Shiying was sure that there was nothing on the paper on the letter, there should be handwriting here, but she couldn't see it clearly!

"Can't see?" Bai Shiying picked up the letter with the Bai family's son, and couldn't help but feel a trace of anxiety between her eyebrows, but she still couldn't see the handwriting after looking through it for a long time, and it seemed to be obscured by something.

"What's going on, the paper is all in good condition, and there are no traces of smearing, but the handwriting is unreadable?!"

……

Early the next morning, the first rays of sunlight of the morning swayed on the earth, dispelling some of the night's coolness.

But the genius is bright.

But the streets of the capital were already full of people.

On the makeshift platform that had been erected overnight was a man with a disheveled head, dressed in a robe made of the finest royal fabrics, which was ironic to match the scene at this moment.

"That's him! Rong Chenxi, he is simply a disgrace to the royal family! ”

"I almost ruined my country, and killed so many people, don't let him go, Rong Chenxi must die! Let this scourge die!! ”

"Daddy! Mother!! Did you see it, it was this scourge that made you leave early, I didn't expect to be able to witness the death of the enemy in front of me so soon, and your two souls in the sky can finally rest in peace! ”

There was a lot of noise, but no one thought it was noisy.

A word of spittle and stars are about to drown Rong Chenxi on the stage, and people's angry and hateful eyes seem to turn into blunt knives, as if they want to cut off a piece of meat on Rong Chenxi's body.

Rong Chenxi couldn't move.

From the perspective of outsiders, he is a sinner who is still holding on to death, but only Rong Chenxi himself knows that he doesn't want to shout? He obviously couldn't shout!

It's rare to get up early in the morning.

Bai Shiying stood in an attic and looked ahead, from here, he could take in the process from top to bottom.

"You're here."

Now hearing this voice, Bai Shiying will not forget what the owner of this voice is called, even if she forgets what she is called.

She was obviously surprised, turned her eyes sideways and looked at the person who slowly walked to her side, and her expression softened: "Fourth uncle...... Also interested in these? ”

This kind of obviously is the time to watch the excitement.

If it had been before, I am afraid that I would not even be able to see Bai Yueze's shadow.

When people appear on such occasions, it is really no less than seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

Bai Shiying glanced at her mouth secretly, she began to not wait to see her own good fourth uncle, why can she be ghosted?!

The inner entanglement made Bai Shiying mutter, anyway, as long as she didn't reveal anything on the surface, the fourth uncle wouldn't know anything.

As for...... The voice of the heart is eavesdropped on by someone.

Last night, under her coercion, I finally learned from Yun Zheng how to control the power of the contract, how to say it, Yun Zheng dragged the contract in his hands It is not unreasonable, and he only leaked a trace of white Shiying felt a thousand pounds!

That's a real weight!

But fortunately, she endured it, the tolerance of the flawless body was ridiculously strong, and the benefit was naturally - she finally didn't have to worry about her heart always leaking, fortunately, she didn't think anything strange recently......

"Occasionally."

Bai Yueze's expression didn't have much emotional ups and downs, but when his eyes swept over Bai Shiying, a trace of doubt and surprise inevitably crossed his eyes.

Breath.

Gone?

Someone erased the presence of that breath!

In the Xuanling Continent, he didn't even know that there was a second person......

"Shi Ying went out again last night?" With the idea of temptation, Bai Yueze was careful with his words, meeting Bai Shiying today was obviously not as nervous as last night, this was a good start, and he didn't want such a good start to be suddenly stifled by him.

I didn't expect to hear my name.

A touch of cunning flashed in Bai Shiying's eyes, and she pretended to be puzzled: "No, I haven't gone out since I came back, why did the fourth uncle ask that?" ”

Yun Zheng said that the person who left the breath actually had no ill will towards her, which Bai Shiying could not guarantee, but Bai Yueze, who left the breath, should have wanted to protect her, which must be true.

So some people say they don't care.

In fact, the action is still very honest.

Bai Shiying couldn't help but comfort herself secretly, how to say that she is also a good chess piece in Bai Yueze's hands at present, and the place where she can be useful is different.

"Hmm." Bai Yueze didn't say much.

It doesn't matter, as long as ......

Suddenly.

Bai Yueze and Bai Shiying's very "coincidental" eyes collided together.

Bai Yueze frowned: "You? ”

"What?" Bai Shiying pretended to be puzzled.

Bai Yueze's eyes were strange: "You did it?" How did you do that? Why can you do it? ”

The doubts were forced out three times, and it can be seen that the shock brought is not a little bit.

Bai Shiying withdrew her gaze at this time and looked at the grand scene under the execution ground again.

I don't know how long it has been.

She said softly: "Everyone has a little secret, isn't the fourth uncle too?" I'm impressed, but don't do it next time, I don't like to be watched in the name of protection. ”

A soft sigh.

It really shook someone deep in the hearts of those around him.

Bai Yueze's gaze suddenly became complicated.

"Shi Ying, you are surprising me more and more." Bai Yueze suddenly laughed.

There was no expected reaction, Bai Shiying still felt strange, shouldn't Bai Yueze leave directly at this time?

"Yes, then this is the beginning of the surprise, there is still more time to come, isn't the fourth uncle shocked every day?!" Bai Shiying said calmly.

The two didn't know at this time.

Bai Shiying's words quickly came true in the near future, and for a long time to come, Bai Yueze's hands trembled every time he saw the information from Qinglan Academy, for fear that there would be some exciting news written on it that would subvert him for more than thirty years.

However, for a certain Miss Bai who left Tanglin, the final way to break free from the shackles must be to expose her true nature!

It's not a bit of a trick, it's too much to say.

At this time.

Bai Yueze was amused by her determined tone, he nodded happily, and there was a great chance of recovering before the two had a showdown, but there was a faint touch of imperceptible connivance in his tone: "Okay, I'll wait." ”

The two of them were speechless again.

Bai Shiying will not miss today.

She wants to watch, watch how Rong Chenxi fell miserably in front of her!

The hatred for Bai Ruyan is nothing more than that.

And the hatred for Rong Chenxi, since last night, Bai Shiying has climbed to a peak again!

It turned out that her self-righteous likes in her previous life were all calculated by others step by step, Bai Shiying suddenly felt that she must be very ridiculous when she fell into the eyes of others, and she was a lover as far as she could see, but she was the only one who believed it.

"How can you spare you if you do this......" Bai Shiying muttered in a low voice.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

However, at this moment, there is a very cold and cold meaning, Bai Shiying's eyes did not have a trace of emotion, she looked down from a high place, and inevitably met the eyes of Rong Chenxi, who was forced to kneel on the ground.

How to describe it?

Begging for mercy? Let her let him go, or is she begging for a pleasure?

“……”

Bai Yueze's eyes moved slightly, and when he saw that the hands of everyone in the audience lit up with sharp short knives, these short knives did not look like ordinary short knives that ordinary people could sell, unless someone provided them.

The blade is very sharp, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like cutting iron like mud, and it is only blood, bones, skin and flesh that must be able to cut the thickness as thin as a cicada's wings.

"Woooooooooooo A piece of rag was pressed and forced into his mouth by the soldiers guarding the side, and Rong Chenxi's eyes were about to split.

Seeing this scene, his heart was already cold and even lost his mind, how could he not see what this was going to do?

It's because I see it, I know it, I know it, so I struggle desperately!

Of course.

Now that he is a wasted person, no matter how hard he tries, it will not help.

Generally speaking.

Sebu, for the kidnappers, he doesn't want people to shout, so in this situation, it seems that there is no difference whether a dying person makes a sound or not, there is only one reason - to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide!

"Bite your tongue and kill yourself? You can't die by biting off your tongue. On the pavilion, Bai Shiying shook his head.

Folk misinformation.

I thought that I would die immediately if I bit off my tongue, but in fact it won't, most of those who die by biting off their tongue are dying of excessive blood loss, as long as the wound is treated, even if the ordinary person dies, he can live a few days.

Bai Yueze's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "How do you know?" ”

"Well, because I've seen it many times?" Bai Shiying felt that Bai Yueze had no other meaning when he asked this sentence, it was probably the same as the daily elders asking you, it was the same as eating today.

"I've seen it many times." Bai Yueze understood, bowed slightly, and a touch of interest appeared on her face: "During the period when I didn't pay attention to you, you had a very rich life. ”

It is not uncommon to bite your tongue and commit suicide.

But it's definitely rare.

"There's no way, I always stand at the front of the scene unexpectedly and am forced to watch, I want to die for a long time, the one who has no tongue is louder than the one with a short tongue, and I have to make a bunch of demands, what can't be saved, this loss is even if I am refining ......" Bai Shiying said to herself unconsciously, and suddenly said a certain word, and her voice stopped abruptly in an instant.

She snapped back to her senses.

He touched the tip of his nose a little embarrassedly, and finally forced a dry smile: "It's nothing, nothing, it's probably some vexatious people." ”

Finished.

She's floating!

Why is it that at this time, staring at Rong Chenxi and being fascinated forget what year it is?

Bai Shiying wanted to hold her forehead very much, but after thinking about it, this action might be even more misunderstood, so she just endured it and didn't raise her hand.

"Okay~ Some vexatious troublemakers, I don't know what kind of vexatious troublemakers can give our Miss Bai a headache." The smile in Bai Yueze's eyes was mixed with a hint of teasing: "Does anyone in the Tanglin Kingdom dare to talk to you like this?" Wouldn't you be too bold, you are the future heir of the Bai family, one of the five major families, unless you are your peers, you are also one of the five major families, right? ”

Bai Shiying's cold sweat slid down, her eyes closed and opened, and her face did not change: "Yes, it is one of the five major families!" But who I can't say, to prevent the fourth uncle from announcing personal vendetta in the future, I must think about the safety of my patients! ”

"I can't see that Shi Ying is still very responsible."

"Haha, that's ......"

"Your grandfather said that you secretly became an alchemist and scared him, Bai Ruyan was cured by you, I have seen that elixir——"

Bai Yueze narrowed his eyes slightly as if he was thinking, and after a while, in Bai Shiying's involuntarily wide-eyed eyes, he nodded slowly: "Not bad." It's not partiality, it's really good! ”

"Whether it is the color of the pill or the other herbs that are integrated into it, the clever use of medicinal properties can successfully confuse all the people who have seen the pill and believe it to be true, and I was thinking when I saw it."

"This should be the degree of refining alchemy to the extent that it is possible to refine such an ordinary, but in fact, it is hidden and evocative and not ordinary elixir, it is difficult in just a few years, even if the genius is very talented, it takes time to hone to have such an ability."

"I've thought about whether to throw an olive branch to such a person, try to see if she is willing to come to me and use it for me, it's a waste to be able to use it in such a place!"

It's all Bai Yueze saying.

He didn't name him, he didn't name him.

But this is just the second half of the time that was not pointed out, it was said earlier that he saw the elixir with his own eyes, and the elixir was still what she and her grandfather said at the time that she had refined it herself.

What does it mean......

The fourth uncle has too many eyes, she doesn't want to stand here anymore!

"I'm going down, fourth uncle, if you still want to see the scenery, take your time, I'll go first." Bai Shiying didn't even bother to make up an explanation, she wouldn't answer.

Even if it's her.

So what?

Isn't it good that the Alchemist Association is still alive, and she is not needed now, if Bai Yueze wants to, he can go to that heaven and bring one back, isn't this better than the Xuanling Continent?

Bai Shiying's main focus is not listening, the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out, she is really a pig.

Just walked in front of Bai Yueze.

And Bai Yueze, who was ruthlessly thrown in place by her, laughed even more.

In the hearty laughter, there is no restraint in anything!

Bai Shiying, who was halfway through, heard the movement behind her, and suddenly the corners of her mouth twitched a few times, and her feet sped up.

The execution ground went well.

There was no scream, except for the violent struggle that could only be felt at close range, and Rong Chenxi, who was blindfolded and gagged, could only feel this despair in the dark.

'Poof'!

At this time, he can already be regarded as a blur of flesh and blood.

How could Bai Shiying let him die, until the last moment, she would never allow him to die!

"Miss!" The Bai family guards on the side saw Bai Shiying coming, and hurriedly made way of a passage.

Bai Shiying didn't go up, but stood directly below Rong Chenxi, watching the sharp blade wander on his body with great pleasure, pieces of flesh and blood fell from him one after another, if he cut it into too large pieces, he was afraid that one Rong Chenxi would not be enough to fill the city.

The voices around him were much quieter, and many people noticed Bai Shiying.

They didn't bother Bai Shiying, but they just looked at this Miss Bai with real admiration and gratitude, Rong Chenxi was captured by Bai Shiying, and the reason why the disaster in the capital can be calmed down, according to the announcement issued by His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, thanks to Bai Shiying, who destroyed the sacrificial array in the palace, otherwise the people in the city would have to die even if they lived!

Rong Chenxi is simply extremely vicious!

Not only does he want to destroy the Tanglin Kingdom, he wants to create a bloody capital, and he doesn't even plan to let go of the people who survived, even at the last moment, he is still thinking about how to kill them!

For such a scourge, it is just a slight stroke of the knife, and it is difficult to understand the hatred in the heart.

I don't know if it's a tacit understanding.

The people who came to the stage behind invariably suspended their movements.

They are waiting, Bai Shiying is only here at this time for Rong Chenxi, if it is the eldest lady of the Bai family who personally takes action to end the scourge of Rong Chenxi, even if it is not their turn, there will never be any complaints.

"Rong Chenxi, are you feeling okay?" Bai Shiying smiled slightly, her smile was not bright and strong, nor was it the kind that did not smile, just the right arc slightly evoked her good mood at this time: "Oh yes, I should ask another question, do you like the farewell gift I prepared for you?" ”

What is a farewell gift?

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

However, in the next second, it was invariably understood in an instant.

What happened to Rong Chenxi is only now...... Uh, so, the farewell gift that Bai Shiying said was a knife for the survivors of the capital, which made Rong Chenxi suffer from a thousand knives?

Bai Shiying was a little regretful: "I won't kill you, although I want you to die more than anyone else, but you have to live until a certain moment realizes that you can die at the end - without my permission, if you want to die, it's just a delusion!" ”

I don't know if I was stimulated by her words.

Rong Chenxi's body trembled, and then, he suddenly broke free from the soldiers behind him who suddenly rushed up to escort him, and the whole person fell to the ground in embarrassment, and he clearly heard the clicking sound of the dislocation of the bones.

However, this pain is not worth mentioning at all compared to the pain on the body, and it can't even hide the pain caused by those wounds.

He couldn't be unconscious.

Because this is also Bai Shiying's handwriting.

She prepared a lot for this "gift", including the Recovery Pill that kept him from being unconscious and continued his life, as well as the high-grade Holy Healing Pill.

No one knew why Bai Shiying had so many pills in her hands.

When she asked, she just smiled and didn't say anything, and others didn't dare to ask more.

At this time, Rong Chenxi's arm was already under the white bones, and someone even moved a knife in his face first, so a hideous big hole was so clearly placed in front of everyone's eyes, if he was a person who was afraid of going crazy before, but at this time, his eyes were shouting hatred, and he wanted to leave a few more holes in Rong Chenxi's body!

"You want to say?" Bai Shiying understood his intentions.

He wanted to talk.

But......

"Are you asking the wrong person?" Bai Shiying's eyes were strange, and she suddenly approached and whispered: "I know everything, I know what you did to me back then, this gift can be said to be a farewell gift or a reward for you who racked your brains at the beginning, don't you think it's earned?" ”

"It's just like this once in a lifetime, but I prepared these pills specifically for you, especially for you."

Bai Shiying slowly stepped back.

She raised her hand and waved it slightly, so the person who stopped approached him step by step with a cold light in his eyes again, and the guard directly pulled his hair and carried him back.

The sound of the blade piercing through the flesh suddenly sounded again, and these sounds were very familiar to Bai Shiying...... She also experienced it once, it hurt, it hurts, it hurts......

There is no stop.

Bai Shiying turned around and left here.

Originally, Ye Junyi was worried that someone would make trouble here, but Bai Shiying felt that it was missing, that person knew that he should not make trouble at such a time, once he provoked public anger, then what they would have to face was not the Bai family and the Ye family, but the entire capital!

Whether it's the Lin family or the Chen family, they may not stand in line, but for now, they will definitely not let themselves suffer, and they need to beware of someone taking advantage of it without paying attention, which is not easy!

……

Yejun Yi waited for a long time, and when he saw a figure finally appearing in front of the road, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're here!" Yejun left a trace between his eyebrows, and it was obvious that he had been frowning for a moment during the time just now: "Where have you been?" I've been looking for you, and I didn't see you when I went to the Bai family. ”

Bai Shiying shook her head slightly, she pointed to the road behind her, and her eyebrows raised slightly: "Ye Sanshao thinks, where did I come from this direction?" ”

Ye Junyi was stunned.

He finally frowned again: "You...... Went to see Rong Chenxi? What's so nice about that guy, it's a dead man anyway, it's better to ......"

"What's wrong?" Bai Shiying asked.

I always feel that there is something in Ye Junyi's words.

Ye Junyi pursed his lips, he shook his head slightly: "That's it, it's all over, if I talk about that incident again, look at someone's face can be black into a pot background, right?" Bai Shiying? ”

Bai Shiying: "......"

"You can try and see if you can still be alive." Bai Shiying smiled slightly, and then explained: "It's just a matter of wrapping it up." ”
