After splitting into two groups, Ji Xingzhi, Xiao Moyan, Yu Xu, Zhou Zheng and a dozen people from Liuyun once again encountered the man in black. This time, Xiao Moyan seemed tired of hiding and did not notify everyone in advance to leave.
When the men in black arrived, Ji Xingzhi, Xiao Moyan, Yu Xu and Zhou Zheng were drinking tea in an ordinary teahouse outside Changxin City. They were as leisurely as if they were from other worlds, as if the fight outside the teahouse had nothing to do with them.
The owner of the teahouse was a tall and thin middle-aged man. He was very timid and had already squatted under the table with two waiters. He was still trembling and was obviously very scared.
The teahouse was quiet and silent, but outside it was filled with murderous intent.
Compared to Xiao Moyan's coldness, Ji Xingzhi's leisurelyness, and Yu Xu's confusion, Zhou Zheng was a little uneasy. He kept hesitating whether to go out to help, but was afraid that he would make things worse.
After all, the strength of the Liuyun people has been obvious to all in recent days. If even the Liuyun people cannot be dealt with, it will be useless even if Zhou Zheng goes out to help.
Although no one except Xiao Moyan and Ji Xingzhi knew the true identities of Bai Xiu and his men, in the eyes of Ji Ruhua, Luo Bai and others, Bai Xiu and his men were all subordinates of Xiao Moyan.
The teahouse was very quiet. Yuxu lowered her eyelids slightly, looking at the smooth tabletop. She was neither humble nor arrogant, neither annoyed nor aggrieved. She simply said, "It's not me."
Other than that, there was no explanation.
Although Yu Xu's mind was sometimes a little confused, she was not stupid. She knew that Ji Xingzhi and others regarded her as a spy sent by Shuizhou State. She had no evidence to defend herself. At this time, it would be better to make her attitude clear and say nothing instead of saying too much.
Yuxu's words seemed to melt into the air and disappear without a trace. Xiao Moyan, Ji Xingzhi and Zhou Zheng didn't say a word and tacitly ignored Yuxu.
After a moment, Yuxu's head drooped even lower. Ji Xingzhi was sitting next to Yuxu. From the corner of her eye, she could clearly see Yuxu's hands clenched tightly on her legs. She was biting her lower lip, which had lost its color, as if she was afraid.
It's not the kind of fear of being exposed that makes you fight to the death, but simply the fear of death.
Seeing this, Ji Xingzhi calmly took a sip of tea, moistened his slightly dry mouth and throat, and said indifferently, "It's indeed not you."
When Yuxu heard these words, she suddenly raised her head, feeling as depressed as if she had been heartbroken. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and her face was filled with surprise and subtle joy. "Do you believe me?"
Looking at Yuxu who seemed to be overly excited, Ji Xingzhi shook his head mercilessly and said, "I don't believe it."
It’s not Yuxu this time, but it may have been the case in the previous times.
Yuxu looked at Ji Xingzhi with some confusion, and asked blankly, "Why? Didn't you say it wasn't me?"
Ji Xingzhi thought for a moment and said, "Just because it's not you doesn't mean I won't suspect you, unless you have a way to prove your innocence."
Hearing this, Yuxu couldn't help but feel crestfallen. If she had a way to prove it, she would have done it long ago. Why would she wait until now? Being suspected for no reason, and having to rely on those who suspected her, this feeling was really frustrating! If she knew who the real spy was, she would definitely return the injustice she had suffered double.
"Wait until Shuizhou meets my father, and see if you still doubt me..." Yuxu muttered in a low voice.
