Chapter 97: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions

There is no shortage of people in the world who hide their ears and steal the bell, and those who want to deliberately cover up what they do not want to be known by outsiders will one day unmask themselves. If people don't know what they can't do unless they do, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and when you are busy covering up what you do, you should never forget the old saying: the wall has ears.

Wuxin stood at the door of Ruyi's room with the bowl full of food, but he didn't push the door in for a long time, nor did he reach out and knock on the door. He knew why Ruyi suddenly left in a negative mood, but he didn't know how to explain it to Ruyi, and to be honest, now he was almost all focused on investigating the murderer of Shangguan Yunjie, and he had no time to talk about his children's private affairs.

Just when Wuxin was in a dilemma, Ruyi's voice came from the room, as if she had expected Wuxin to stand in front of her door at this moment.

"Come in. Ruyi's voice came out of the room, revealing a trace of helplessness and forbearance. Three simple words, but it warmed Wuxin's heart, he knew that Ruyi understood the pain in his heart now. Without further hesitation, he reached out and gently pushed open the door and walked in.

At this time, Ruyi was sitting at the table in the center of the room with his back to the door, and when he heard Wuxin pushing the door in, he lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes with the corners of his clothes, as if he had just cried.

Wuxin took the bowl of food, walked behind Ruyi, who had his back to him, handed the bowl to Ruyi, and said slowly: "Hungry, eat something." He didn't know how to alleviate the embarrassment between the two at this time, so he could only say this wordless of concern straightforwardly.

Ruyi didn't look back, still turned his back to Wuxin, and said with a slight choked voice: "Do you still know how to care about me? Why don't you go to your little lover?" It turns out that all women in the world are inevitably jealous, even women like Ruyi.

I didn't know what to say when I was asked by Ruyi's words, and I didn't know what to do with my hand hanging in the air, so I hesitated for a long time before I said helplessly: "She's just a friend of mine, not like you think, do you have to let me take out my heart and show you to believe it?"

Ruyi turned around suddenly, glared at Wuxin, and said coquettishly: "Take it, take it out and I'll see!" said and took the bowl of food that Wuxin held in the air, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a chuckle that he tried to hide.

She has forgiven Wuxin, from the moment Wuxin stood at her door with a meal, all the grievances had disappeared, but she felt that she had a trace of willfulness that she shouldn't have.

Unintentionally looked at Ruyi, who lowered her head and started eating, and looked at the tears in the corners of the girl's eyes that had not been wiped off, and silently felt a trace of unbearability and self-blame in her heart, she could give very little, which really seemed a little cruel to her.

Unintentional gentleness, in this world, may only be able to experience Ruyi, although sometimes this gentleness is a little overbearing.

A seemingly entangled misunderstanding disappeared like this, and everything entered the original track again. I didn't know that Ruyi was just a little grumpy, and she wouldn't be entangled like other worldly women. Ruyi also knows that Wuxin is not the kind of person who is as she said and shows mercy everywhere.

After a while, Wuxin retreated from Ruyi's room, holding the porcelain bowl that was originally full of food, but was empty at this time, and turned around and walked towards his room.

Just as he turned around, he suddenly saw a person standing in the corridor not far away, looking at him. This person is Murong Xue's eldest brother, Murong Baili.

Wuxin glanced at Murong Baili and walked straight to his room, not intending to stop and say hello. He and Murong Baili really didn't have any topics to talk about, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't intend to know Murong Qianhe and Murong Xue, it is estimated that the two would not have any intersection.

Just when he passed by Murong Baili unintentionally, Murong Baili spoke. I saw him look at the hall on the first floor of the inn outside the corridor railing, and said slowly: "She must be very important to you." Although he didn't look at Wuxin talking, what he said was indeed said to Wuxin.

Wuxin could also hear it, so he stopped, turned his back to Murong Baili, and said lightly: "All the people around me are very important to me. He didn't answer Murong Baili's words directly, and there was no need for that.

Murong Baili laughed and continued: "If you already have someone else in your heart, then please stay away from my sister and don't break her heart, otherwise I won't let you go." When he said the last few words, there was a hint of coldness in his tone.

Wuxin listened to Murong Baili's words, frowned, this was the first time he heard such serious words from the gentle Murong Baili's mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said lightly: "From beginning to end, I just regarded her as an ordinary friend, now and in the future." With that, he continued to walk forward, without stopping.

I didn't know that Murong Xue, the righteous brother, was not as simple as just treating her as a sister, probably everyone could see it, and she was the only one who was still in the dark.

Murong Baili turned his head, looked at the room behind him, and then looked at the back of the unintentionally leaving, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. What he didn't expect was that a hand that originally held a knife picked up a bowl for a woman at this time, which shows how important this woman is to him.

In the room behind Murong Baili, a person was leaning on the crack of the door, biting his lip tightly, tears couldn't stop flowing down his cheeks, and the corners of his clothes were about to be torn by her.

This person is Murong Xue, and the position where Murong Baili is standing is outside Murong Xue's door. The conversation between Murong Baili and Wuxin just now, Murong Xue heard it word for word, and Wuxin's words were like a sword, deeply inserted into her heart. Perhaps, this conversation was deliberately let by Murong Baili to be heard, otherwise how could it happen so coincidentally in front of her door.

After putting the bowl back in his room, he left the inn and headed out into the street. A pair of eyes appeared in the corridor on the second floor behind him, staring at him tightly, it was Murong Baili who was still staying in front of Murong Xuefang.

After a period of calmness, Ruyi and Murong Xue had both recovered from their sadness, and each left their rooms and came to the hall on the second floor, where Nangong Chu and Murong Baili were also in this hall at this time, and the two of them were talking about something without a word. With the arrival of Ruyi and Murong Xue, the two gradually fell into silence, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward.

Just when a few people felt that they were about to be overwhelmed by the oppressive atmosphere, they came back from outside without intention. Seeing that all four of them were sitting in the hall, they were stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, found a place, and sat down.

Murong Xue watched Wuxin come in without saying a word, and sat down without saying a word, never looking at herself, she couldn't help but touch the string in her heart again, forcibly endured the sadness in her heart, and took her eyes away from Wuxin's body, hiding a trace of hope under her pretended stubborn face.

Nangong Chu first broke the situation of falling into an embarrassing situation again, waved his hand and called Xiao Er of the inn, ordered some dishes, asked for a pot of wine, and joked that he wanted to get drunk, but none of the people present accosted him, which made the atmosphere even more depressing.

When Xiao Er brought the prepared meal, a figure appeared at the staircase of the hall on the second floor, and this person was none other than the god hunting Tiexiong.

Seeing Tie Xiong coming, Wuxin hurriedly stood up, bowed slightly to Tie Xiong, and said, "Uncle, what's the matter?" Although Wuxin has always looked arrogant, he is the only one who is polite and respectful to himself.

Tie Xiong glanced at the people in the hall and said with a smile, "Are there guests?" said and looked at Murong Baili, who was sitting not far away, intentionally or unintentionally.

"En," Wuxin responded, pointed to Murong Xue and Murong Baili who were sitting on the side, and said lightly: "These two are the sons and daughters of Murong seniors. ”

When Tie Xiong heard this, he immediately said with a smile: "It turned out to be a pair of children of Brother Murong, forgive the old man, I have been friends with your father for many years, but I have never had the opportunity to meet you, I didn't expect to meet here today." As he spoke, he looked at Murong Xue and Murong Baili who were sitting on the chair, with a kind attitude.

Hearing Tie Xiong's words, Murong Xue stood up and bowed to Tie Xiong without speaking. On the contrary, Murong Baili, who usually did not speak much about Murong Xue, opened his mouth and said: "Junior Murong Baili, this is the younger sister Murong Xue, I have seen Tie senior, we often hear my father mention the deeds of my predecessors, and we really admire it." ”

Tie Xiong smiled and nodded, motioning for Murong Baili and Murong Xue to sit down, then turned to look at Wuxin, put away his smile, lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid you don't have time to eat this dinner." ”

Wuxin was stunned for a moment, and asked lightly, "What's wrong?"

Tie Xiong looked around and said cautiously: "My subordinates have reported that someone has seen the person in the costume and the black veil on his face you said appeared in the capital. ”

"Where?" Wuxin asked eagerly, his eyes widened.

"I have sent this man to a ruined garden in the west of the city, and I have come to take you to inquire about it. Tie Xiong looked around and said cautiously.

Wuxin nodded, turned to look at Nangong Chu who was sitting on the side, and said solemnly: "I have something to go out for, you stay here, don't go anywhere, be careful." As he spoke, his eyes moved in the direction of Ruyi, signaling Nangong Chu to take care of Ruyi.

Nangong Chu nodded after listening to Wuxin's words. Although the conversation between Tie Xiong and Wuxin was very low, as a master like Nangong Chu, he could still vaguely hear the conversation between them. Also heard this passage clearly, in addition to Nangong Chu, there was also Murong Baili who was sitting on the side.

Soon, Wuxin left the inn with Tetsuo. The remaining four people were silent, ate a few bites of food hastily, and then returned to their rooms, probably because of the sudden departure of Wuxin, everyone had lost the interest in eating.

Not long after everyone returned to their rooms, the back window of a room was suddenly gently opened, and a figure came out of the window, disappearing into the alley on the side of the street. Since it was dinner time, there were not many people on the street, and no one noticed the figure that suddenly jumped out of the window.

But one person found out that at the moment when the figure rolled out of the back window, there was a person standing in the window of a room next to him, watching the figure disappear into an alley silently, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. The person standing at the window is none other than Nangong Chu.

"Where did he go, what happened?" Ruyi, who was sitting at the table, asked slowly, as if he was asking himself, and as if he was asking Nangong Chu who was standing by the window.

Nangong Chu looked at the sparsely populated streets, looked at the direction in which the figure disappeared, and said slowly: "It's okay, probably Tie Xiong found some clues." He didn't say anything about the conversation between Wuxin and Tetsuo, or the scene he had just seen.

After leaving unintentionally, Nangong Chu came to Ruyi's room, lying that he was bored in his room, but he actually deliberately stayed in Ruyi's room to protect Ruyi.

Before leaving Wuxin, he had hinted that he should take care of Ruyi, and his demeanor was cautious, as if he was secretly telling him that danger was around him, and he didn't understand everything at first, but when he saw the figure just now, he seemed to understand everything......
