"It doesn't hurt to tell you, the night before yesterday, that is, the day before the assessment, I hadn't slept yet, I heard a knock on the door, after opening the door, there was no one outside the house, only footprints and an amethyst earring that fell in the snow, I didn't care at first, but until the day of the assessment, I saw the exact same earring on Princess Violet. ”

"At that time, I had a conjecture in my heart, but after I went back, the earrings had disappeared, and there was no evidence so far, of course, you can not believe it, after all, this is just my words, not enough to win people's trust, not to mention that I am not a noble prince, people are soft-spoken, or maybe I am really worried, that kind of earrings are actually very common. Xiao Shu told everything he could say to his promise, and there was nothing to hide.

"Amethyst Earrings...... This is not common, amethyst is an extremely scarce mineral, just a little bit is worth a million, it is a symbol of the royal family, even a prince is not allowed to accessorize, if this is the case...... ”

Promise frowned and thought carefully, as the son of the duke, he knew far more than Xiao Shu in this regard, he didn't need to take such a big risk to deceive himself, plus the night crow was seriously injured, a terrible conjecture came to his mind.

If the other party is in Lingwan, under the nose of the clouds, he injured the night crow, and successfully dropped the moon and violet, the only doubt is the night crow, if he knows the truth, why not say it?

Unless the other party even has the ability to control the Night Raven, or...... The Night Raven is their man, but if so, who is the one who hurt the Night Raven?

Thinking of this, the promise couldn't help but think of Xiao Shu and Mo Qiunian's delay in coming today, the injuries on Mo Qiunian's body, and Teacher Rose's words, "His spiritual martial realm is far higher than you think." ”

In this way, everything makes sense, the conjecture that is infinitely close to the truth emerges in Promise's mind, he almost deduces the approximate based on Xiao Shu's words alone, plus what he has seen and heard, and also understands Xiao Shu's difficulties, if all this is true, then he really has no way to debunk it, as he said, there is no evidence, and words alone are not enough to win people's trust.

"Teacher Xiao, I have a question, do you live with Mo Qiunian?" Promise asked the last doubt, as long as it was confirmed, then his conjecture would be completely established.

"He lived with me in the faculty dormitory at number 73. Xiao Shu was a little surprised, the idea of the promise was really fast, and it had already been deduced to this point in just a few words, and even the part he didn't plan to say was guessed.

"Since that's the case, then I know, Teacher Xiao, please rest assured, I will take care of this matter to the end, but I want to know, Teacher Xiao's words about the safety of every student are still counted?" Promise asked as he looked directly into Xiao Shu's eyes.

"Count. Xiao Shu said with a smile.

"That's good, in a while, it's the school prom, I'll go to it, and Yue and Ziluo will go too. "The promise didn't intend to tell others, the people haven't been rescued yet, the first to provoke the city is boiling, and the most dangerous ones at that time are Yue and Ziluo, in case they are forced to jump over the wall and kill the two, but the gains outweigh the losses.

"I see. Xiao Shu nodded.

The two exchanged glances and left the alley.

Xiao Shu doesn't trust Zero, and he won't trust Zero who has only seen one side, for the spirit sealing spell on this spirit puppet, he didn't put hope on Zero's body, Zero's words can be seen as good intentions, or as a threat in disguise, and the last thing he Xiao Shu cares about is a threat, treat people with sincerity, he will inevitably return the favor, but this kind of practice is useless, it will only make him feel disgusted.

Even if the promise does not appear today, he will find another way to rescue Yue and Ziluo, regardless of identity and status, it is good to be worthy of his heart in life, he Xiao Shu can't control all the things in the world, but the things around him still have to be managed, the other party hurt Mo Qiunian, and he has already touched Xiao Shu's bottom line.

Back in the dormitory, it was empty, Rose took Mo Qiunian to re-bandage the wound, Mo Ling'er wanted to come and follow, Xiao Shu didn't pay too much attention to it, and was about to go to the so-called dance party when there was a knock on the door outside the house.

When I opened the door, it was none other than Mo Qian, who was caught by Xiao Shu that night, dressed decently and luxuriously, with brown curly hair exposed under the black hat, and his pale face and sunken eyes made him look much older than his actual age.

"Who was I at the time, it turned out to be classmate Mo, it's only been a day, why be in such a hurry, there is time. Xiao Shu thought it was who, this was the door-to-door delivery of money, and naturally he was smiling, as if he had seen a lamb to be slaughtered.

"That...... Mentor, can you let me go in first. ”

Mo Qian's cheeks twitched slightly, his two hands were in his pockets, listening to Xiao Shu's tone, he was so hated that his hands were itchy, but he couldn't beat it, his handle was caught in his hand, as long as he said it, those people wouldn't care about the truth or falsehood at all, and it was impossible to give him a chance to defend himself, I don't know how many people were hostile to their family, not to mention that this is the truth, even if it is fabricated, the other party can make it a fact, and make himself speechless.

"Come in. Xiao Shu smiled and stepped aside.

As soon as he entered the room, Mo Qian took off his hat, took out a ring and handed it to Xiao Shudao, "Mentor, I really can't take out 100,000, and I only have 80,000 yuan to borrow from east to west, or ......."

"Eighty thousand is not impossible, but I want to ask you some questions, as long as you tell me the truth, the remaining twenty thousand will be counted. Xiao Shu was not in a hurry, but sat down.

"What's the problem?" Mo Qian asked rhetorically with a puzzled face.

"Judging from your actions, it's definitely not the first time you've done that kind of thing, but the night before yesterday, why did you make a mistake? Why did you follow me after you missed? Even if you missed, you could have escaped by yourself, wouldn't you? And if your target was in the student district from the beginning, how could you pass by me?" Xiao Shu looked into Mo Qian's eyes, but unfortunately, he was disappointed, and Mo Qian's eyes did not change.

"It's normal for this kind of thing to miss, even if I'm familiar with Lingwan, but there is always an accident, I was found out at the time, I was a little panicked, I saw you running away, and I thought you were stealing like me, where do you know...... As for why I passed by you, it was because someone was chasing me before, I couldn't help it, I was chased all the way here, and then he seemed to be thrown away by me again, I was relieved, to be honest, is the person who chased me all the way mentor you?" Mo Qian explained, but threw the question back to Xiao Shu.

Xiao Shu completely understood in his heart, no wonder he didn't find out before, the other party knew about Mo Qian's actions that night, so he used him to lure him away, and then took Mo Qiunian away unknowingly.

But he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and if that night was like this, then now?

Ignoring Mo Qian, Xiao Shu stood up and opened the door, the sky was completely dark, and the towering Bailing Spire was staggered between twenty and twenty-one, the dance had begun, and it was obviously this time, but Rose and Mo Qiunian had not returned, and Mo Ling'er did not know where to go.

"What's wrong?" Mo Qian asked puzzled.

Xiao Shu ignored him, and kept reviewing everything that happened today in his mind.

Is it a coincidence that I saw Moon and Shiro halfway?

Is it a coincidence that the promise was eavesdropped on the sidelines and was discovered by himself?

What about Mo Qian's arrival at this moment?

All this seemed so natural, but Xiao Shu felt more and more wrong in his heart, since the afternoon, he seemed to have been deliberately separated from Rose and Mo Qiunian, including the proposal to go to the ball, the time became inexplicably tight, and every step seemed to be deliberately arranged.

Invisibly, the threads are connected, treating him Xiao Shu as a puppet, manipulating it wantonly, whether he is intentional or unintentional, it seems that it is expected by the other party.

It seems that not only does he not trust Zero, but Zero also distrusts himself, and letting Mo Qiunian go is just a delaying tactic, he knows very well that when he finds the spirit sealing spell on the spirit puppet, it is impossible to tell Yu about it, but he also guessed that he will not stop there.

It's just that what the purpose of doing this is, Xiao Shu can't figure it out.

"Mentor, that ...... I'm still in a hurry to go to the ball, it's not just Lingwan's ball, many families from the North Wind City will come, I can't be late, or I'll be counted out again. Mo Qian said a little anxiously, he rarely dressed so formally, all the money on his body was given to Xiao Shu, and he hoped to ask for some from his father tonight for his living expenses.

"Prom...... Many Maisons...... Do you mean, the king will come too?" Xiao Shu seemed to have grasped a key point, but it seemed that something was missing.

"Yes, tonight's dance party will probably not end until the early hours of the morning, like us, our parents are in North Wind City, even if we don't want to participate, it's impossible, since the Moon Prince and Princess Ziluo are Lingwan's students, of course the king will also participate. Mo Qian said.

"Will you participate?" Xiao Shu asked the last question in his mind.

"No, Mr. Yu never participates in the prom, you should know, if Mr. Yu shows up at the prom, where will we boys still have a chance...... Eh, where are you going, mentor?" Before Mo Qian finished speaking, Xiao Shu had already rushed out like a fly, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

"What's going on with this person, inexplicable. Mo Qian was confused, but he didn't bother to care, and put the ring on the table, for fear that someone would steal it, and when Xiao Shu didn't admit it, he locked the door from the inside, and then jumped out from the balcony on the second floor.

"Is this your second warning?" Xiao Shu already understood the other party's intentions.

Tonight's Lingwan was particularly noisy, most of the people were full of smiles on their faces, immersed in the atmosphere of the ball, only one person's face became more and more solemn, and as time passed, the other party gave Xiao Shu two choices, and Xiao Shu also made his own choice.
