Chapter 132 We Lived a Few Days Less Than Them

“…”

It was past 12 o'clock in the night and the entire ship was extremely quiet.

Jian Yue followed Ji Huaiyu obediently, and the two of them returned to the top floor one after the other. Ji Huaiyu had a tall and straight figure and steady steps. Jian Yue followed behind him, and the two of them returned to the box on the top floor one after the other.

The lights are on.

Ji Huaiyu returned to the study and sat down. Jian Yue noticed a plate of walnuts on the table not far away. It should be sent by the kitchen to please Ji Huaiyu, but he did not eat it.

Perhaps Jian Yue's gaze was too intense.

Ji Huaiyu's voice came slowly: "If you are hungry, go and eat."

Jian Yue was really hungry, so he nodded without any hesitation and said with a smile, "Okay!"

After sitting down happily, he looked at Ji Huaiyu slowly. Ji Huaiyu's eyes fell deeply on him. Jian Yue couldn't swallow the walnut that was at the edge of his mouth. He coughed belatedly. He thought of many excuses along the way, but they were choked when he looked at Ji Huaiyu.

Ji Huaiyu whispered: "Why risk your life to go to the third floor?"

Jian Yue hesitated and said, "Well, because I'm hungry..."

Ji Huaiyu looked at him.

Jian Yue finally gave in under the man's gaze. He lowered his head, sighed softly and said, "Because I want to check something."

The words fell.

Ji Huaiyu did not show any surprise, but just responded lightly: "Yeah."

This time, it was Jane who was more shocked.

no……

Why is this your reaction? Xiaoyu, you are too calm. You accept it too quickly!

However, Jian Yue didn't seem too surprised by Ji Huaiyu's calm eyes. You know, no matter which world they are in, whether it is Leng Li or Shen Yushu.

They are all absolutely smart and wise.

I always thought I had concealed my little thoughts very well, but in the end, they were already exposed.

Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "I didn't mean to check on them. I received a message from a crew member telling me that the director's chef Li's kitchen requested a large amount of live fish from the cabin, but the restaurant hasn't sent out much fish food in the past few days. I felt... there was something wrong."

Ji Huaiyu glanced at him and said slowly: "Do you know why?"

Jian Yue was a little nervous, choked up, and asked, "Why?"

There is a feeling of being about to uncover the answer to the riddle, and being tipped off by a top student in advance. It is so exciting. Is this what it feels like to get something for nothing? !

Not only him, but the audience in the live broadcast room were all nervous and excited.

Ji Huaiyu said calmly: "Because he needs to make a movie and set up props."

Jian Yue: “…”

Audience: “…”

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Jian Yue coughed lightly and said embarrassedly, "That's it."

Ji Huaiyu raised his eyebrows. His eyes were silent and dark, like a bottomless pool of water. He stared at Jian Yue and said, "What do you think it is?"

Jian Yue choked up and thought to himself, "It's not that I have paranoid delusions, Xiaoyu. That puppet wants to catch me alive every day, so I have to be on guard!" He hesitated whether to file a complaint or not. The consequence of filing a complaint would be to be sent to the hospital for examination or to get a leg up.

Then I heard Ji Huaiyu say: "But this is not the only reason."

Jian Yue's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Very good!

He knew he wasn't worrying too much!

Ji Huaiyu opened the document on the computer on the table and said, "The ship will dock in a few days. Wangyuan Island is the birthplace of the puppet-controlling school. All ships and puppets that want to land on the island must offer sacrifices to their ancestors. Those fish are for the preparation of the sacrifices."

Jian Yue was a little excited, gesticulating with joy, and said, "Is this the story written in the script? Is this story true? The story of the ancestor who controls the puppet show fighting against the evil and cursed puppets, then finding the secret book left by the ancients, destroying all the puppets to gain divine power, and then founding a sect?"

Ji Huaiyu: "...Butler Wang."

Jian Yue blinked: "Hmm?"

"Read less storybooks." Ji Huaiyu said expressionlessly, "Science is the primary productive force."

Jian Yue: “…Oh.”

hateful!

He was originally a good materialistic young man who grew up in a happy environment, but he was educated by the people in the horror copy! !

Ji Huaiyu looked at Jian Yue who was grinning, and he finally said: "It's not all false. Originally, I shouldn't have told you about this, but since you will soon be a member of the Ji family, you have the right to know."

Jian Yue's attention is no longer focused on the fact that he will soon become a member of the Ji family. Isn't this nonsense? He and Xiaoyu are made for each other, it's only a matter of time!

Now he has other problems.

At this moment, Jian Yue was shocked, and he asked anxiously, "How can this story be true?"

"The story of the puppet-controlling sect is true." Ji Huaiyu sat in front of the desk, tapped his slender fingers lightly, and said slowly: "The Ji family is the last generation of this sect, but it was lost by Ji Huaisheng's generation."

Jian Yue asked, "He doesn't want to learn?"

Ji Huaiyu said: "I won't let him learn."

Jian Yue almost choked: "...Oh."

The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help laughing when they saw his cowardly look:

"Hahaha, this conversation between the two is really funny."

"Mr. Ji crushed me in all aspects."

"Butler Wang has never been so honest."

"But the boss is giving him a hint!!! What a lucky boy!!"

Ji Huaiyu glanced at him calmly and said slowly: "My master's wife told me before she passed away that all members of the puppet sect are not allowed to control puppets after leaving Wangyuan Island, let alone use puppet control for personal gain. For him, the world outside the island is what he wants more."

Jian Yue could also understand.

In fact, the plot of this novel is already very clear. Ji Huaisheng is a person who is born to yearn for freedom. This can be seen from the fact that he became a movie emperor. How could it be possible for him to stay on the island for the rest of his life!

but……

Members of the puppet sect are not allowed to leave Wangyuan Island, and are not allowed to use puppet-controlling techniques to harm others outside the island.

But the more Jian thought about it carefully, the more they realized that from Aya's boyfriend to Wei Yu, all of them had been harmed by the puppets to varying degrees, which proved that someone in the outside world was doing evil.

It turns out that no matter where you are, as long as there is greed, there will be people doing evil.

Jian Yue couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "What if someone breaks this rule? Will there be a punishment?"

Ji Huaiyu was handling official business smoothly. Even if he was doing two things at the same time, he would not get confused. The sharp tip of the pen scratched across the document. After hearing Jian Yue's words, he said calmly: "No."

Jian Yue was shocked: "Ah?"

Ji Huaiyu then stopped writing and looked at him, slowly saying, "According to the Ji family's genealogy, there were a total of 15 disciples on the list, all of whom died in a fire a hundred years ago. Except for my master and his wife, there were no survivors, so they did not formulate any punishment. After his wife died of illness, my master was heartbroken and followed her. There are no disciples who can control puppets on Wangyuan Island now."

Jian Yue thought to himself that since the two elders said they would not make a plan for such a big matter, their extraordinary mentality was amazing!

He complained in his mind.

He turned his grief and anger into motivation and chewed a few more walnuts. The amount of information was too much, he needed to replenish his brain, because the body was the capital of revolution!

Just thinking about it.

Then Ji Huaiyu said, "They are so confident for a reason. The art of controlling puppets is very laborious. It is difficult for ordinary people to perform ordinary puppet shows with superb skills. If they want to master it, they need to pay a huge price. The reason why the ancestors of the Ji family were able to do it in the past is because Wangyuan Island itself is the birthplace of spiritual wood. The wood made there is unique and is the best among all the woods in the world."

Jian Yue said: "Then it would be better if someone else took the spiritual wood out."

Ji Huaiyu seemed to have guessed that he would say this. He said, "Because of the characteristics of the land and soil, the spiritual trees will wither once they leave the island."

The locust trees on Wangyuan Island cannot leave the island.

Jian Yue finally understood why the Ji family stipulated that disciples who practiced the art of controlling the locust tree were also not allowed to leave the island. This was not only for Mu Tou's sake, but also for the disciples' sake.

So……

How did the person who was doing evil outside do it?

Jian Yue felt that mysteries were emerging one after another, and in this confusion, he heard Ji Huaiyu's voice, which was calm to the point of being indifferent. However, in this calm tone, Jian Yue felt the danger hidden under the calm undercurrent: "Of course, if there are people who really violate the rules of the sect, I will clean up the mess on their behalf if necessary."

Clean up the house.

These four simple words seemed to carry with them a tremendous chill.

There was such a moment.

Jian Yue raised his eyes and looked at the cold-faced man sitting in front of the desk. He always felt that Ji Huaiyu knew something. This cruise trip might not be as simple as making a movie for the ancestor of the Ji family to commemorate the puppet show.

Maybe the players are the simplest people on the entire ship.

Jian Yue weakly took a bite of a walnut and weakly lit a candle for himself and the other players.

The good news is that, at least for now, his and Xiaoyu's positions do not conflict, their goals may even be the same, and those who are stirring up trouble behind the scenes are their enemies.

As Jian Yue bit the walnut, she always felt as if she had overlooked something.

The bell for break rang outside.

It's midnight.

Ji Huaiyu said: "It's too late, you should go back and rest."

Jian Yue subconsciously nodded and said, "Okay."

He walked towards his lounge and heard Ji Huaiyu say, "You are going back to my lounge."

Jian Yue usually lived here when he had nothing to do, so he naturally didn't think there was anything wrong. After Ji Huaiyu said this, he finally realized what was going on and asked curiously, "But I used to live here too."

not to mention!

Those puppets he fooled are still in the corridor!

In order not to be considered strange by others, he took off his eye patch. Now no one knows where he threw it. It would be uneconomical to ask him to go back now.

Jian Yue said honestly: "Why can't it work now?"

Ji Huaiyu reminded him: "Before Huaisheng was away, I let you live here for your safety, but now he is back, I am afraid it is not appropriate for you to live with me."

Most people might back off.

But Ji Huaiyu saw that Jian Yue looked righteous, so he waved his hand, as if to reassure himself, and said, "What's the big deal? He has lived on the island with others for more than a month and I didn't care. After the banquet tonight, he disappeared again after chasing someone. If you count carefully, we have lived there for a few days less than them! Uncle, you can't allow the officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps!"

Ji Huaiyu: “…”
