“But…” Bai He wanted to say something when she reached the door, but Bi Yu pulled her aside and quietly gestured with her lips. Following Bi Yu’s gesture, Bai He realized that there was a faint blue light in Mo Tian’s palm, so she had to give up.
Bai He Biyu sighed, left the room, and closed the door behind her...
“Sigh, we can’t help with this here. Why don’t I go to the kitchen and prepare something nice to eat? Maybe they’ll need it later.” Seeing that Baihe didn’t look too good, Biyu helped her to the other bedroom. “You should go and rest first. I’ll call you for dinner later.”
"Okay!" Bai He nodded, walked to her bed, and lay down on her back.
“Sister, if you heard what I just said, please don’t be angry,” Biyu said as she entered the living room, standing in front of the coffee table and glancing back at Wan’er’s bedroom. “I hope everything goes well.”
"Click-click!" Not long after, the sound of a key turning came from the keyhole of the living room door. As the door opened, two people walked in one after the other, both looking travel-worn.
Mercury, walking ahead, muttered as she changed her shoes, "Hey, it's really strange. You know, Wan'er, she's actually with that Liu Chang'an."
"I told you, you're just a mortal with eyes only. That's not Wan'er at all, just a demon who looks like her. And you actually thought of going to greet her?" Slinging his shoe aside, Su Gong walked in, angrily sitting down on the sofa by the door. He looked around the living room. "Huh, the living room light is on, and there's someone in the kitchen. Looks like they got home earlier than us today..."
"What are you talking about? You're back!" Biyu came out from inside, carrying a few side dishes. "The food will take a while. I just learned how to cook, so we can't rush it."
"Little girl, you look good today. Is there good news? Where's that other little girl?" the uncle asked.
"You mean my sister? She's exhausted, so I told her to rest first," Biyu sighed.
"Oh, I see. You seem to be in good spirits." Uncle looked at Biyu, stood up, and walked to the dining table.
“I’ve always been healthier than him since I was a child,” Biyu said with a hint of pride.
“Something’s not right, young lady. You look strange. You seem more relaxed than usual, but there’s also a hint of unease in your expression…” Uncle seemed to have noticed something.
"Oh dear Uncle! Are you telling someone's fortune or something?" Biyu found it somewhat amusing.
"Hey! This door seems to be stuck." Mercury reached out and pushed against the door to Wan'er's bedroom. Uncle was about to say something, but Mercury interrupted him.
"Stop pushing it, it's probably sealed by spiritual energy." Biyu sat down on a chair at the dining table. "Just... just don't worry about whether it can be opened or not. Anyway, Wan'er is protected by the Longyan, so nothing will happen. I'm more interested in what you said when you came in. You said you'd give me some advice. Where did you find a woman who looks like Wan'er?"
"Okay, I'll tell you about this, and we can discuss it together to see what's really going on."
"Hurry up and tell me, I can't wait any longer," Biyu urged.
“Well, today we went out to look for clues, just like usual, and we came across the gate of a dilapidated factory…” Uncle Mercury sat down, his eyes gazing at the family photo across from him…
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." A rat scurried out of the sewer, and on a sudden impulse, seeing no one around, Uncle casually pointed with his pipe.
