Chapter 17 After abandoning the rebellious villain 17 Little Lingwu, walk faster.
Every time Zhuge Xianyu left and disappeared, it was at the Shuiyue Bridge near Jinghua Village.
After breakfast, everyone went directly to Shuiyue Bridge.
Liushui Bridge is an arch bridge made of stones. Due to years of disrepair, it is covered with moss. In addition, a better bridge was built not far away, so this bridge has gradually become abandoned.
Zhang Ningyan yawned and muttered, "This bridge doesn't look any different. How could it disappear right after it reaches this point?"
Chu Xiangzhi stood beside Fu Wei and chuckled, "That's a good name, Mirror Flowers and Water Moons. I wonder if you would have thought this place was fake?"
"You'll know if you give it a try." Fu Wei raised his hand, and ripples like flowing water spread out from his palm, gradually spreading to the surroundings, leaving a faint trace of spiritual power.
Chu Xiangzhi: "How is it? Is there any problem?"
Fu Wei: "There is residual spiritual power, which should be the trace left by the head of the Zhuge family."
Chu Xiangzhi: "That should be correct."
Fu Wei: "It must be that Patriarch Zhuge noticed someone was following him, so he set up a sleight of hand here to conceal his whereabouts."
Zhang Ningyan rubbed her eyes. She had stayed up late the previous night and had gotten up too early today. Now she was sitting by the bridge, feeling extremely sleepy. She propped up her chin and asked idly, "So where are we going now?"
Fu Wei: "Let's go to Jinghua Village first and find Su Moli."
There is no trace of Shuiyue Bridge, so the real problem is probably Jinghua Village.
Zhang Ningyan jumped off the bridge and urged, "Then let's go quickly and come back early. I want to sleep a little longer."
Chu Xiangzhi rubbed Zhang Ningyan's head and said helplessly, "Did you secretly play with your phone yesterday and didn't go to bed early?"
Zhang Ningyan: "No."
Chu Xiangzhi: "Really?"
Zhang Ningyan curled her lips and said with a sad face, "Okay, I just played a little bit, but you are not allowed to complain to my master, otherwise she will definitely beat me up!"
Fu Wei couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Ningyan heard it, her eyes widened, and she pitifully grasped Fu Wei's sleeve, saying softly, "Big brother, you won't tell my master either, right?"
Chu Xiangzhi was both amused and confused. He pulled Zhang Ningyan away from Fu Wei and said, "Brother, you have never met your master. How could you complain to your master?"
Zhang Ningyan: "What about you?"
Chu Xiangzhi: "Let's put it this way, this won't happen again."
The three of them walked along in a noisy manner.
Chu Xiangzhi and Fu Wei walked side by side, Zhang Ningyan was jumping in front. They stood together like a family. Feng Lingwu had been following Fu Wei silently since he woke up this morning. He didn't say a word, only his eyes wandering over Fu Wei.
Now, looking at the dazzling scene, he just lowered his head silently.
In the past, he might have been Fu Wei's only one, his apprentice whom he held in the palm of his hand, and the person closest to him in this world.
But not from now on.
He has a friend named Chu.
Maybe he should be a better apprentice and not cause him so much trouble.
But why does his heart hurt so much?
It was like thousands of knives cutting his heart.
Feng Lingwu walked silently with his head down.
How he wished Fu Wei could turn around, look at him again, stop and hold his hand like before.
But no.
Just when Feng Lingwu was feeling more and more sad, suddenly, a familiar voice called out.
"Little Lingwu, walk faster."
At some point, Fu Wei stopped. He stood ten meters away from him and looked at him. Behind him was a dense green forest with mottled shadows of trees. The sunlight fell on his body. Fu Wei, whose lips were shining with golden light, had a faint smile on her face and waved at him.
Chu Xiangzhi and Zhang Ningyan had already walked a long way and were now looking back at him and Fu Wei.
Did Fu Wei stop and wait for him on purpose?
Feng Lingwu felt warm in his heart, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked knowingly, "Why did you stop?"
In fact, he already knew the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to hear it from Fu Wei herself.
Fu Wei was quite amused. She stretched out her hand towards him and said softly, "If I don't stop, Little Lingwu will be so upset that she might even lose herself."
Feng Lingwu's cheeks flushed: "I won't lose it."
But he didn't deny being sad.
Feng Lingwu knew that Fu Wei understood what he meant.
Fu Wei was helpless against his stubbornness and said with emotion, "What if it's really lost? Where can Master find a disciple as obedient as you? I'm afraid he'll cry himself to death here."
As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow at Feng Lingwu.
There is a kind of bewitching feeling that makes people unconsciously fascinated.
Feng Lingwu's heart skipped a beat, and the sadness and grief that had just arisen in his heart disappeared.
"It was you who abandoned me." Feng Lingwu expressed his thoughts in a muffled voice, full of grievance. "You are with him, and you don't want me."
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I almost lost my little apprentice. So please ignore me and let me cry alone. It would be best if I faint here."
As Fu Wei spoke, she pretended to wipe away her tears. Her acting was so fake.
The last bit of resentment in my heart also disappeared, and I shouted helplessly: "Fu Wei."
Fu Wei smiled and said in a stern voice, "That's treasonous. Call me Master."
Feng Lingwu didn't answer, but suddenly stepped forward, mustering up the courage to hook Fu Wei's finger: "You will never leave me, right?"
Fu Wei affirmed: "Of course."
Feng Lingwu: "Okay, I believe you."
Fu Wei raised his hand and flicked Feng Lingwu's forehead, saying helplessly, "You kid, you've been good at everything since you were little, except that you like to daydream. In the future, think less about random things, and that way your cultivation will improve."
Feng Lingwu retorted: "I'm just preparing for a rainy day."
He's not just imagining things, he's just afraid.
Fu Wei: "It's a good habit, but think less about it next time."
Feng Lingwu didn't answer, and then asked: "Master, can you lead me away?"
Fu Wei hesitated.
After all, it's really weird for two grown men to hold hands.
Feng Lingwu lowered his head and said silently: "It seems that Master is not afraid of losing me. Just now, because Master Chu Xiangzhi lost me..."
"Stop." Fu Wei knew that she was negligent just now, and quickly begged for mercy, taking the little ancestor's hand. "Little ancestor, don't be so angry. Master can't coax you anymore. Is this okay, huh?"
Feng Lingwu's cheeks flushed, hesitating for a long time without saying anything, and finally nodded obediently: "Okay."
Fu Wei: "Be good——"
This whole scene was seen by Chu Xiangzhi and Zhang Ningyan who were not far away.
Darkness surged in Chu Xiangzhi's eyes, and negative emotions overflowed in them. He stared at the hands of Fu Wei and Feng Lingwu. He was full of jealousy and murderous intent towards Feng Lingwu, and he also had a possessive and determined attitude towards Fu Wei.
It's obviously just a fake, how dare he keep pestering Fu Wei like this.
He really doesn't know his place.
Zhang Ningyan, who was standing aside, was laughing happily and didn't notice Chu Xiangzhi. She said nonsense, "Chu Xiangzhi, do you think they look quite good together?"
Chu Xiangzhi said coldly: "I don't think so."
Zhang Ningyan said innocently, "Really? But they really look like a couple, they even hold hands when they walk.
couple?
A word of advice woke Chu Xiangzhi up from his dream, which reminded him of the story of Zhuge Xianyu and his apprentice, so that Chu Xiangzhi looked at Feng Lingwu with a different look in his eyes.
The look in Feng Lingwu's eyes when he looked at Fu Wei was not right. It was not like the look of a disciple looking at his master at all. Instead, it was like the look he gave to Fu Wei himself.
Almost instantly, Chu Xiangzhi understood the secret.
Feng Lingwu actually dared to betray his master and ancestors, and showed such a romantic relationship to Fu Wei.
It's simply outrageous!
…
Su Moli's home is in Jinghua Village.
After all, he was from the Zhuge family and was Zhuge Xianyu's direct disciple. Whether it was the art of mechanisms or the art of divination, his level was among the best.
In the past few years since he was driven out, Su Moli has relied on these things to tell people's fortunes and ward off evil spirits, and to catch ghosts and monsters. He has become quite famous in this area.
Moreover, I heard from the old men and women at the entrance of the village that Su Moli was doing very well. He lived in a small villa, which was magnificent and looked like a small palace. It was the first of its kind in Jinghua Village.
So they just asked casually and found out where Su Moli lived.
From a distance, they saw two iron golems standing quietly at the door of Su Moli's house. The gate was not locked and was slightly open, and water could be seen bubbling out of the fountain inside.
As for Su Moli, he should be in the villa.
"Is anyone there?" A voice mixed with spiritual power penetrated everything, but there was no movement in the villa.
Several people looked at each other and took a few steps forward. Who knew that as soon as they crossed the line, two iron golems attacked them. Fortunately, Fu Wei was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He pressed his hands on the left and right iron golems and immobilized them.
Zhuge An looked at Fu Wei in disbelief: "Excuse me, who are you?"
Without waiting for an answer, the mechanism at the door started again, the golden formation started running, and countless spiritual arrows shot towards Zhuge An like a beautiful rain.
"Be careful." Chu Xiangzhi quickly stood in front of Fu Wei and Zhuge An. A hexagonal ice flower-shaped ice shield blocked the spiritual arrows and kept all dangers out.
Zhuge An: "Thank you."
Chu Xiangzhi: "You're welcome."
Feng Lingwu looked towards the yard and frowned, "Master, there seem to be quite a few traps in the yard. If we force our way in, we'll probably get hurt."
Fu Wei said softly, "Then let him out."
As the voice fell, the rain of spiritual arrows that had been blocked outside by the ice shield changed direction under Fu Wei's control and all flew towards Su Moli's house. At the critical moment, the door opened.
Fu Wei's control over the spiritual arrow has been perfected, and he immediately collected the arrow.
Su Moli seemed to have just woken up, his clothes were disheveled, and there were a few scratches on his neck and face. They didn't look like they were made by cats or dogs, and no one knew how they were there. When Su Moli looked at Fu Wei and the others, his eyes were full of impatience, as if he was particularly impatient because his sweet dream was disturbed.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Fu Wei: "The one sent by the Zhuge family to investigate the case."
Su Moli sneered and said nonchalantly, "So he's from the Zhuge family, but what does that have to do with me?"
Fu Wei said softly, "Originally, it had nothing to do with you, but this time it's different. Something happened to the head of the Zhuge family. He's now unconscious. As his only disciple, it's only right that you go and see him."
Su Moli said calmly: "I don't want to."
Fu Wei frowned.
Feng Lingwu whispered, "Didn't they say that Su Moli is obsessed with Zhuge Xianyu and is completely infatuated with him? Now it seems that they are not so much master and disciple, but more like enemies?"
Fu Wei: "It's really strange."
Zhuge An: "But during the years when Su Moli was driven out of the Zhuge family, I was wandering around and didn't know the specific grudges. But I swear, I didn't lie about my love for her."
Fu Wei: "Okay."
Although Zhuge Xianyu drove Su Moli out, he still kept the sea of jasmine flowers. It didn't seem like he had made the most extreme decision.
No matter it was old grudge or old love, upon hearing that Zhuge Xianyu was unconscious, one should have shown some different emotions.
For example, gloating, or worrying and fearing.
It can't be that Su Moli is indifferent.
Su Moli urged impatiently, "I was kicked out by him a long time ago. No matter what happens to him, it has nothing to do with me, so don't come looking for me again. If you have nothing to do, just get out of here!"
After saying that, Su Moli turned around and prepared to go back to the house to continue sleeping.
Fu Wei thought for a moment, looked at Su Moli's back, and suddenly said with a smile: "Don't you care about Zhuge Xianyu's life or death?"
Su Moli said without turning his head: "I don't care."
Fu Wei: "What if I say he's dying?"
Su Moli finally responded and turned around: "What do you mean?"
"To be honest, Patriarch Zhuge is gravely ill and in imminent danger of dying. I'm afraid his life will be over in the next few days. If you still can't let him go, why not come to see him in person tomorrow? Otherwise, just pretend we haven't been here yet."
After saying that, Fu Wei signaled Feng Lingwu and the others to follow him and left without asking Su Moli anything else.
After they walked away, Zhang Ningyan couldn't help but ask, "Is Patriarch Zhuge really going to die soon?"
Fu Wei: "Of course not, I was lying to him."
Feng Lingwu was puzzled: "But why did we lie to him?"
Fu smiled and said, "Because I'm testing him. I want to know if he has any relationship with the head of the Zhuge family, and to see if he really doesn't care about Zhuge Xianyu as much as he appears to."
“It’s a process of elimination.”
Feng Lingwu understood: "Are you going to do this?"
Zhang Ningyan raised her hands in confusion and said, "No, what's the process of elimination? I don't understand."
Fu Wei rubbed Zhang Ningyan's head and said mysteriously, "You'll know in the evening, but before that, you need to do something for me."
Feng Lingwu: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Ningyan said excitedly: "Is something going to happen? I'm so excited, tell me quickly!"
Chu Xiangzhi also cast a puzzled look.
Fu Wei motioned for them to come closer, and then told them his plan one by one.
