Chapter Seventy-Five: Different Pupils

The room fell silent as the stool suddenly turned into a pile of debris, and with that eerie crunching sound.

Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu looked at each other, their expressions were strange, the difference was that Shen Shi seemed to think of something in surprise, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, while Zhong Qingzhu had a trace of embarrassment in his eyes, and a faint flush gently swept over her fair cheeks, as if adding a bit of liveliness and charm to her beautiful face.

After a while, Shen Shi coughed and said casually, "Uh...... The stool was broken for a long time, as if it had been eaten by insects, and I don't usually sit on it. You said that Yuanshimen, a big business, actually picked the door so much, and didn't even change a bad stool, it's really stingy!"

Zhong Qingzhu slowly straightened up, listened to Shen Shi's words, for some reason, the slight redness on his face seemed to be a little thicker, and then glared at Shen Shi, bit his lip, and said, "It's my own fault, I haven't controlled my spiritual power yet, what are you doing in the weird Yuan Shimen?"

Shen Shi scratched his head, smiled dryly, and said, "Isn't this trying to find a scapegoat, the first reaction is to think of it." ”

Zhong Qingzhu glanced at him angrily and stopped talking, Shen Shi smiled, patted the edge of his bed with his hand, and said, "Sit here." ”

Zhong Qingzhu hesitated and shook his head, and said, "Forget it, don't wait to ...... this bed."

Halfway through speaking, she suddenly had a bright face again, took a deep breath, and suddenly saw that Shen Shi's expression was a little strange over there, and for some reason she suddenly became a little annoyed in her heart, and said angrily: "You seem to be smiling there, what are you thinking in your heart?"

Shen Shi smiled: "You won't want to know what I think. ”

Zhong Qingzhu took a sip, but suddenly became a little curious, and said, "What do you think?"

Shen Shi said solemnly: "I saw your appearance just now, and suddenly thought of ......"

"Okay, don't say it!" Zhong Qingzhu suddenly interrupted Shen Shi's words, his cheeks suddenly turned red, which was very different from her usual cold appearance on weekdays, even Shen Shi, who had several birth and death experiences with her and knew her very well, was the first time to see her like this, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

Zhong Qingzhu finally didn't sit on Shen Shi's bed, but moved another stool from the side, and then sat down carefully. There was no accident this time, and it could be seen that Zhong Qingzhu was relieved after sitting firmly, thinking about it, it might not matter if she broke a stool, but if she really accidentally collapsed the bed where Shen Shi was lying, the consequences would ......

After sitting firmly, Zhong Qingzhu looked up and saw Shen Shi staring at him, and suddenly thought of Shen Shi's somewhat strange smile before, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. However, after this short episode, the atmosphere between the two of them was unconsciously relaxed, and the indescribable distance that was originally absent when they first met also dissipated at this time.

Shen Shi stood up, just wanted to speak, and suddenly heard a movement around him, but Xiao Hei, who had been sleeping heavily, woke up without knowing when, shook his head and stood up, first glanced at Zhong Qingzhu, muttered a few times in his mouth, and then jumped off the bed, shook his body and ran out of the door by himself, not knowing that he had slipped there to play.

Zhong Qingzhu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and suddenly said, "Xiao Hei doesn't seem to like me very much?"

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Don't pay attention to it, this guy is very weird, and sometimes he doesn't have a good face for me." ”

Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, and didn't say anything more, then raised her eyes to look at Shen Shi, but reached out to touch her arms, and after a while, she took out several ruyi bags one after another, and put them side by side on the bed in front of Shen Shi.

"When you came out of the secret realm, you were still unconscious, and you and I were separated after leaving the country, and the scene must have been chaotic after coming out. I'm worried about what you've worked so hard to get, in case someone takes advantage of it...... And," she paused, lowered her voice a little, and said softly,

"Moreover, there are a lot of Ruyi bags on your body, in case someone sees it, I'm just afraid of ...... I'm afraid there will be some unwarranted speculation. ”

Shen Shi pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "What you said is very true, thank you." ”

Things are indeed as Zhong Qingzhu said, he was unconscious that day, and naturally he was unable to cover up or collect the objects on his body, and how could ordinary people carry a lot of ruyi bags? If this is seen, I am afraid that anyone will think of whether Shen Shi snatched these ruyi bags from others in the secret realm of asking heaven.

This kind of fratricidal private affairs have been repeatedly banned in the past, but the secret realm of asking the heavens is isolated from the inside and outside, so no one has any way and no evidence to prove anything, in that secret realm, it is really you who live and die, and no one will leave a living mouth. However, if such a big flaw is left for no reason, Shen Shi is afraid that it will be endless trouble in the future, because among so many people who have died, there will naturally be countless relatives, friends and even seniors, and it is difficult to say that it will not be suspected of Shen Shi's head if he can't find the enemy, and he can't tell whether the dead person died in a dangerous accident or was killed by his companions.

There are so many wishful bags, will one of them be owned by his friends, senior brothers and younger brothers?

Shen Shi's gaze swept over those wishful bags, and he didn't immediately reach out to take them, while Zhong Qingzhu remained silent after putting down those wishful bags, and after a long while, she suddenly said softly:

"Do you believe me?"

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and glanced up at her with some surprise, only to see Zhong Qingzhu's expression calm, with a pair of bright eyes, staring at him, and in the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be a bit of complex and difficult to see faint light.

"Of course. Shen Shi laughed, his smile was gentle and casual, and said, "After all, we are also people who have been born and died together a few times, how can we not believe you?"

Zhong Qingzhu's eyes lowered slightly, and the muscles on his fair cheeks seemed to tighten slightly for a moment, and then calmed down instantly. She raised her eyes again and stared at Shen Shi, as if a thousand words flowed in her heart in an instant, but in the end she only smiled slightly.

Her body leaned forward slightly, and a white and silky palm gently brushed the ruyi bags on the bed, but her eyes kept looking at Shen Shi, her expression seemed to be a little casual, but her eyes seemed to be very solemn, and she said in a low voice:

"These things are yours, I ...... I haven't seen it, and I won't be greedy for ink. ”

The room seemed to be quiet again, Shen Shi looked at her quietly, Zhong Qingzhu's eyes reflected his face, and after the two looked at each other for a while, Shen Shi suddenly laughed, nodded, and said with a smile:

"Needless to say, I believe you. ”

Zhong Qingzhu's body slowly straightened, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and slowly, a knowing and relaxed smile was revealed.

※※※

In the dead of night, the stars are already lit up, dotting the night sky.

When Zhong Qingzhu walked out of Shen Shi's room, she gently closed the door, she closed it carefully, looking a little afraid that she would make a noise to Shen Shi in the room, or that she would accidentally break the door again.

The night breeze was blowing, there was a little coolness, Zhong Qingzhu stood quietly at the door for a while, slowly walked two steps out of the corridor, walked out of the shadows under the eaves, and looked up at the night sky.

A faint silver starlight fell on her quiet and beautiful face, and her black hair fluttered faintly in the wind, as if with a hint of mystery. She looked up at the boundless sky, the vast expanse of the world, and when no one knew, suddenly there was a strange change in her bright eyes.

The originally clear and bright pupils suddenly flashed a strange light, and suddenly turned red at a certain moment, and then there was a stirring, like ripples in the sea of blood, the tide ebbed and flowed, and the red light quickly faded, and after a while, another pair of strange eyes condensed.

The eyes were vertical, deep and dark, as if bottomless, like ...... A pair of serpent's eyes.

The night wind howled, and suddenly a strange sound came from the depths of the courtyard, Zhong Qingzhu's body shook, his eyes instantly returned to normal and turned to look, but he saw that the courtyard was secluded, pitch black, only a few branches of grass and flowers and leaves trembled, as if swept by the night wind.

She stood silently for a while, the darker the sky deepened, only the low chirping of insects from an unknown place was quietly heard, she took one last look at the night sky, and then quietly turned around and left quietly.

In the dark and deep courtyard, it was quiet for a long time, and suddenly at a certain moment, there was a sound of rope in a dark grass, and then a black figure jumped out of the grass, it was Xiao Hei.

The black fur on its whole body made it seem to blend in with the night in this gloomy courtyard, except for its sparkling eyes at the moment, which seemed to have a strange light, swept across the courtyard, and then stared coldly at the path out of the courtyard.

The night breeze blew again, the flowers and plants in the courtyard trembled, and the sky was gloomy.

※※※

This year's Four-Righteous Conference started a little tragically, and the number of disciples who died in the Secret Realm of Asking Heaven was really a little more. Even with such a strong and profound foundation of the four major sects, it is a little unacceptable.

However, the facts are the facts, and no matter how difficult it is to accept, they can only hold on to it, so after the initial anger, shock and sadness, the four major sects quickly calmed down and began to deal with the aftermath.

At the same time, it was obviously not a decent thing for the other three major sects to stay in the Yuan Shi Sect for a long time, so on the seventh day after the end of the trip to the Wentian Secret Realm, those who should have left still left.

Completely different from the lively and joyful scene when leaving in the past, the scene at the end of the Sizheng Conference this time was quite cold and solemn, and there was hardly any celebration ceremony on the scene, and one by one the powerful real people silently began the return journey with their disciples.

In the past few days, Shen Shi's injuries have healed very quickly because of the powerful medicinal power of the Luo He elixir that Old Man Pu begged for, and he is basically walking without hindrance at this moment. He also looked at the Ruyi bags that Zhong Qingzhu returned one by one afterwards, and indeed as she said, the contents of the Ruyi bags had not been touched at all, and it seemed that she had indeed not moved, including those incomparably precious black dragon flesh and those of his most precious Yin Yang Mantra scrolls.

In addition, after the injury was roughly recovered, Shen Shi tried to run the spiritual power to practice a few times, and the previously damaged dantian had begun to recover, but the fact that the realm had dropped by one layer was also unchangeable. But what surprised Shen Shi a little was that in the originally empty dantian, after he tried to re-collect the spiritual power and gather it into the dantian, for some reason, the ancient sword of killing immortals, which had always been secretly concerned about him and was extremely mysterious, suddenly appeared in his dantian like a ghost, magically reappeared in his dantian, and before that, even if Shen Shi checked his whole body, he couldn't find where this strange sword was.

In addition to being stunned, Shen Shi was also a little lucky, although he still didn't understand the mystery of this Immortal Killing Ancient Sword, but it was obviously a great thing to reappear.

In this way, with the opportunity that almost no one noticed, and perhaps many people regarded him as an unlucky guy who entered the Wentian Secret Realm and not only did not get the opportunity, but the realm regressed, Shen Shi followed the large army of Ling Xiao Sect and embarked on the way home.

And when he was on the floating immortal boat, when he looked away from afar, he clearly saw that Zhong Qingzhu's quiet side, who had gradually become accustomed to and controlled his spiritual power in the past few days, had been surrounded by a heavy crowd, like the stars and the moon.
