“Pah—”
The glass fell to the ground and shattered instantly, and the sound instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw Yujiao looking at the ground with her head down. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but her voice was a little unstable.
"Sorry... I didn't hold the cup steady for a moment."
As he said this, he was about to squat down to pick up the debris on the ground.
Tian Jianmu grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't use your hands. Get a broom later..."
But after feeling the woman's slightly trembling body, the rest of his words were instantly stuck on his lips, and his brows slowly frowned.
...What happened to Yujiao?
He hesitated and said... "You..."
Yujiao gently pulled his hand away and turned her face away in silence.
"I'll go find a broom. You guys have breakfast first."
Watching the woman's back as she left, Tian Jianmu was slow to react and withdrew his hand. Then he looked suspiciously at Yu Li opposite him, with the suspicion in his eyes undisguised.
Yu Li: “…” Why are you looking at me?
But in fact, Yu Li herself felt confused.
She just smiled at Yujiao, but after she was stunned for a moment, her eyes suddenly turned red and she looked like she was going to cry in the next second.
Yu Li looked thoughtful, her fingertips tapping the handrail, her eyes sliding across the broken glass on the ground.
…
On the other side, Bai Jingmo was called back by the demon ghost.
Compared to the last time, he stood farther away this time.
He didn't think there was anything wrong, but the demon was furious.
"Bo Jingmo! Why are you standing so far away!?"
The man looked up but did not respond to its question, and no emotion could be heard in his voice beneath the mask.
"You violated the rules yesterday."
Hearing this, the demon became even more angry, "I violated the rules!? It was that woman who violated the rules!! She actually ate your food as well!!"
"My rules don't state that you can't help your partner eat." Bai Jingmo said in a cold voice, "But after you came out yesterday, those people have become wary of me. They started to distrust me."
His tone was calm, yet full of blame.
"So, it was all because of you yesterday that I didn't kill anyone."
As soon as the words came out, Yaogui was stunned at first, and then his tone was a little flustered, "Is this my problem? I didn't mean it, Bai Jingmo, who asked you to date that woman."
The vines wrapped around the tree trunk slowly loosened and stretched towards the man little by little.
The demon ghost's tone was resentful, complaining and dissatisfied: "I don't even mind you being with that woman. We have to regroup today. You can't let that woman find an opportunity again, otherwise I will be angry..."
The man remained silent, but the demon was still unsatisfied. It lowered its voice with deliberate temptation.
"Bo Jingmo, I don't want to hurt you. We are obviously the same kind. As long as you give me your body, I can give you eternal life."
Bai Jingmo's eyes shone, and he said coldly: "Put your vines back."
Seeing that the vine was still approaching, black air suddenly stretched out from behind him and cut it off without hesitation.
"Ah——!" The demon screamed miserably, "What are you doing!!"
"I've already warned you, take it back."
The demon ghost felt both pain and anger, especially when it saw the man was always so indifferent to it. It smiled coldly.
"Bo Jingmo, maybe I've been too nice to you recently, and you've forgotten that your heart is still with me."
"I think I might have to teach you a lesson."
As soon as the words came out, Bai Jingmo was stunned at first, and then a sharp tearing and shattering pain swept through his body. His eyes widened slightly, and he groaned, bent over and covered his heart, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his back teeth were clenched.
Damn, this demon still has his heart hidden.
No wonder he always felt his body was weird.
As if pleased by the man's painful appearance, the demon laughed, "Bo Jingmo, I told you, I gave you life, so you have to listen to me obediently, understand?"
Under the mask, Bai Jingmo sneered silently.
He endured the intense pain and straightened his back, "If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Having said that, he was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait!" The demon suddenly called out to him.
It said sinisterly: "Since you said those people are wary of you, then I will help you. You are not allowed to fail again."
Hearing this, Bai Jingmo narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, his mask shone in the sunlight, and his lips curled up.
"OK."
…
When he returned to the villa, Bai Jingmo met Yujiao standing outside.
The two looked at each other, and the man calmly looked away.
Just as he was about to walk around Yu Jiao, the other party suddenly said, "Bai Jingmo, can I ask you something?"
Bai Jingmo didn't stop until Yujiao called out a name.
"Do you know Limu?"
The man paused but did not turn his head.
Yu Jiao looked at his back, her voice trembling: "...You must know the relationship between Yu Li and Li Mu, right?"
There is a black moon on Bai Jingmo's body, he must know something.
The masked man turned his head, his dark eyes without a trace of emotion, like a dark ancient well.
"Why should I tell you?"
As if she had expected Bai Jingmo to say this, Yu Jiao quickly said, "As long as you tell me, I will tell you everything about Deva."
She just wanted an answer, wanted to hear that definite answer.
But the man just calmly refused: "But I don't want to know."
He raised his eyelids and said indifferently: "You can investigate me or kill me, I don't care."
Yu Jiao cleared her throat and spoke hoarsely:
"But...what if I say that everything Deva does now is because of Limu?"
Bai Jingmo's movements suddenly stopped, and his eyes were filled with gloomy emotions.
"…Limu?"
In a corner where no one noticed, his fist hanging by his side was slowly tightening.
