Chapter 128 Training 06
"Strange. Where did you put it?"
Jiang Yuelu's eyes wandered and he took a step back uncomfortably.
But Xia Yi took a step closer naturally and came close again.
Jiang Yuelu discovered that he didn't consider him as an outsider at all, and even had a strange possessiveness of "you are my property". With the simple idea of "since you can't find it, I'll help you", he touched Jiang Yuelu all over, not realizing how intimate this was.
Xia Yi frowned: "I remember that I hung it around your neck for you last time."
He glanced at the young man's exposed neck. The scarlet eyes and aggressive gaze made Jiang Yuelu's hair stand on end. He hurriedly called out to stop, "I know! I know what you are looking for. I will do it myself!"
Xia Yi was suspicious: "You found out so soon? Are you sure?"
Jiang Yuelu said hurriedly: "Tears, huh? I'll find them myself."
Fearing that the ghost would come again, he used both hands to quickly pull out a pendant from his collar.
It was a small copper box with two round beads sitting neatly inside. This scene of "tears side by side" pleased His Majesty the Ghost King. He no longer cared about why Jiang Yuelu pushed him away just now. He naturally thought that Jiang Yuelu was his.
"The finishing touch to a painting is the same with the bluebird. Only with eyes can it come alive and take you and me back." Xia Yi looked at him sideways, "What are you standing there for? Go quickly."
"If you keep disappearing, I can't guarantee that I can hide it from the academy."
Jiang Yuelu was very surprised, "You actually came here without telling the academy?"
Xia Yi snorted coldly: "So what if it is."
"Nothing... You're just not the way I imagined you."
He also thought that according to Xia Yi's self-willed and bad taste, he might do something arrogant like coming to the academy on the opening day, and might even take away Dean Kong's hat in public and say, "Wizards, show some courage and don't let your dean work himself to death. Look, he has no hair at all."
"Puchi." Jiang Yuelu was amused by her own imagination.
Xia Yi: "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Yuelu would never tell him and just shook her head obediently.
Xia Yi frowned, "Don't play innocent again. This trick used to work on me, but it doesn't work now. I haven't lived in vain all these years."
"Also, if you want the academy to conduct a thorough investigation of you and delay the time to find them next time, then I don't have to bother hiding it from the academy and trying to deceive those stupid wizards."
Jiang Yuelu was scolded with a bashful look on her face. After hearing this, she couldn't help but ask, "So... you did this just for me?"
Xia Yi blushed and yelled, "Go and do the eye-opener!"
Jiang Yuelu raised her hands in surrender: "Okay, okay..."
The moment the round teardrops were embedded in the bluebird, its whole body changed. Emerald flames flowed downward from its eyeballs, like the grassland in the evening being blown in one direction by the wind. It quickly recognized its master and lay down obediently at Xia Yi's feet.
What surprised Jiang Yuelu was that it also showed friendliness towards her.
Xia Yi sat with his back to him, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said, "The green fire came from me."
Jiang Yuelu: "...So?"
So of course he won't show his teeth at you!
Xia Yi certainly wouldn't say such straightforward words, but he has his own way of communicating.
"Ji Hongcha once tried to sit on it, but was kicked down by it."
Jiang Yuelu sighed: "She must be pissed off."
"Some of you wizards also overestimated your abilities and suffered even worse fates than her." Xia Yi mocked them unceremoniously, "Her entire body was burned black. I heard she became a laughing stock in the academy."
Jiang Yuelu said "ahhhhhhh" perfunctorily, feeling the wind blowing, and thinking: Why is he telling me this? Wait... He suddenly understood.
"What if Tong Mian wants to sit on it?"
"Him? No."
"Dean Kong?"
"climb."
Jiang Yuelu smiled and affirmed: "So besides you, I am the only one who can be accepted by this blue bird." He thought to himself, it turns out that I am unique.
Xia Yi: “…”
Jiang Yuelu became absent-minded, slowly plucked the flaming feathers on the blue bird's back for a while. After his thoughts were seen through, Xia Yi stopped talking. The man and the ghost sat quietly in the dark night sky. The lights of thousands of homes seemed like the Milky Way on the ground, flowing into the distance, and it seemed that they would never stop.
After a while, Jiang Yuelu stammered: "You just said that next time we go to Ghost City..."
Xia Yi: "What? Speak louder, I can't hear you."
He wanted to ask Xia Yi if he had any news about Yan Fei's three siblings. But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them naturally. First of all, Xia Yi didn't like him to mention these things. Secondly, Xia Yi's identity was the Ghost King, which meant that no matter how good their relationship was, there would always be a chasm between them.
Jiang Yuelu sighed, "It's okay. When can we arrive?"
But when Xia Yi heard this, he turned around and looked at him for a long while, "What do you want to ask me?"
Jiang Yuelu was speechless: "Didn't I ask you this?"
Xia Yi looked at him more closely, and Jiang Yuelu felt that his eyes were like a volcanic eruption, with sparks falling all over his body. He looked away uncomfortably.
He heard Xia Yi say, "Yan Fei."
Jiang Yuelu: “!”
"I don't know where they are for now." Xia Yi said, "The ghost world is not like the academy, where everyone loves each other like a family, nor is it like the wizards, who are organized and disciplined. Those who can become city masters are all born evil. I feel annoyed when I see them, and they should feel the same when they see me. It's just that I am suppressed by my strength, so they dare not act presumptuously in front of me."
He suddenly spoke a long speech, leaving Jiang Yuelu unable to react.
His thoughts were still immersed in the two words "Yan Fei" that Xia Yi said.
He suddenly realized that this was the first time he had heard Yan Fei's name from someone else in such a long time. In the mortal world, everyone had to avoid the deceased relatives of the current boss, not to mention that he was a suspected arsonist.
After he came to the academy, no one knew about it or mentioned it. Even Dean Kong and others who knew about his past would only say from a distance, "There is news about your brothers and sisters."
Yan Fei and the others were like three wandering souls drifting far away.
Only their elder brother Jiang Yuelu still remembered them.
But now, he heard it from Xia Yi's mouth.
"You're daydreaming again." Xia Yi was helpless. "No matter whether what I said is important or not, you always have a way of daydreaming. From the past to now, it has never changed."
Jiang Yuelu opened her mouth and said, "I'm listening."
"Forget it. I don't want to bother you. Lest you say I'm like an old woman again."
Xia Yi said: "Whether you heard it or not, I will only say this once. I didn't find where Yan Fei and the others are, so I can only make a guess. The biggest possibility is that it is related to Wu Yeming."
Jiang Yuelu nodded, "It's the same as the academy's speculation."
Xia Yi smiled meaningfully, "Not surprising. For the Wizarding Union, which claims to be righteous, there is no better example to make an example of a traitor than Wu Yeming. They should hold a swearing-in ceremony with him every year, saying that this is the common enemy of our wizards... or something like that."
Jiang Yuelu thought for a moment, "Maybe they will say this is the scum of all of us wizards."
Xia Yi laughed, "That's right, that's right!"
Xia Yi stopped laughing halfway, coughed a few times solemnly, stole a glance at Jiang Yuelu, and found that he was not paying attention to him, then continued: "By the way, I haven't heard from Wu Yeming for a long time. Not only him, but the other two have no news either, as if they are all dead."
The other two?
Jiang Yuelu remembered what the old scroll had said.
Above the four ghosts of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, there are three more ghosts. Above them, there are two evil ghosts.
Xia Yi looked at him, "Have you heard of the three ghosts of greed, anger and ignorance?"
Jiang Yuelu shook her head, "I've only heard of three of them, but this is the first time I've heard of this name."
"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of them. These names were all made up by that group of wizards, along with joy, anger, sorrow and happiness." Xia Yi curled his lips, "I have to say they are really capable, these names are very fitting. You've seen Jin Muxi, that kid loves pleasure. The kid born from the same womb as him is even more bizarre, he's in sorrow and pain from morning till night, crying endlessly."
Jiang Yuelu couldn't help but imagine a guy from NetEase Cloud Music who was emo from morning to night... Is this sorrow?
He nodded, "It's indeed very vivid."
"According to this logic, greed, anger, and ignorance can also be used to extract the characteristics of the three ghosts? One is greedy, one is angry, and one... is crazy? Then who is Wu Yeming...ah." Jiang Yuelu covered his mouth.
Xia Yi looked at him, "What's wrong?"
He said awkwardly: "I can't ask you for information openly."
Xia Yi snorted, "Who do you want to ask secretly? There is no one more suitable than me in the world. Even your powerful Vice President Tong would not know what happened after Wu Yeming left the academy."
"Then...can you tell me?"
"Wu Yeming is greedy."
"Greedy? That's true." Jiang Yuelu joked, "He has both the identities of a wizard and a city lord. Do you think he is greedy?"
Unexpectedly, Xia Yi didn't respond to his words. Instead, he glanced at him and said, "You are a wizard, but you are still hanging out with me, the Ghost King. I think you are even more greedy. You have lost your memory and are black-hearted."
Jiang Yuelu was scolded so much that she dared not say a word.
"But you just told me that, is it okay?"
Xia Yi exclaimed, suddenly realizing, "You have been hesitating since just now. It turns out that you want to ask but dare not. I just thought you were afraid to talk to me, but I didn't think of this. Do you think I would not tell you these inside stories because of our different status?"
Jiang Yuelu nodded.
He was hit on the forehead and heard an angry curse in his ears: "You, you deserve to die. You are going backwards the more you live!"
Jiang Yuelu was in so much pain that she saw stars and almost burst into tears. No matter how good her temper was, she couldn't help crying, "You, you... I, I... It hurts so much!"
He could have blurted out 10,000 non-repetitive swear words, all of which he had learned from his experience in the orphanage, but facing a boy who was younger than him (even in appearance), he really couldn't say it. What was the difference between this and swearing at Yan Fei and the others?
Jiang Yuelu didn't want to teach the child bad things, and even less did she want to repay kindness with revenge.
So he swallowed back all the dirty words, which turned out to be more painful than the pain on his forehead. He endured the pain and a physiological crocodile tear flowed out from between his fingers.
He was shocked himself.
What a joke! He hadn't cried in such a long time! He actually...he actually cried because of a little brat hitting his head!
Jiang Yuelu turned his head away quickly because he didn't want to be seen by him. But all his actions were under Xia Yi's control. The arrogant Ghost King was about to teach him a lesson, but he unexpectedly saw a small piece of transparent water mark passing by, which made the Devil King stunned.
"You, you're crying?"
Jiang Yuelu’s inner thoughts: Fuck.
"I don't."
A better answer than saying one thing and thinking another slowly appeared on Jiang Yuelu's forehead. A red mark was glaringly obvious on his fair skin.
After seeing this, Xia Yi panicked, "I, I...I didn't mean it."
"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Yuelu said hurriedly: "It doesn't hurt, it's nothing."
About a quarter of an hour later, Xia Yi finally recovered. Jiang Yuelu felt exhausted. He was the one who was hurt, but Xia Yi was the one who was hit hard... Was he born to be a child slave?
Jiang Yuelu said, "I'm not worried about the difference in status between you and me. On the Jin Muxi ship, I heard a ghost mention that you were delayed and couldn't come. Xia Yi, I'm going to tell you the truth, don't be offended, you are not omnipotent, there are some things that even you can't do, which means that there are indeed difficulties in this world that can stump you."
"What if telling me this information would cause you trouble?"
"I don't want to embarrass you, nor do I want to put you in danger... You said that we were friends before, right? Friends shouldn't cause trouble to each other, and think it's right."
Xia Yi listened in silence for a long time before nodding again and again, "I'm still not very experienced in being your friend."
Such strange words, spoken from the mouth of such a strange ghost, seem extremely normal.
He was determined to explain everything to Jiang Yuelu.
"But I'm telling you these things not just because we have a special relationship. I'm sure you've heard that wizards have an ancient god who issues oracles, and there's a similar one in the ghost world. I have an inexplicable but deep relationship with that god, and not long ago, He woke up."
Jiang Yuelu was surprised, "You... saw it?"
Xia Yi shook his head and said, "No. He is just like the ancient gods of the academy. I cannot meet him or look him in the face. I can only stay awake in the face of those infecting whispers."
Jiang Yuelu: "Then how did you know... I'm not doubting you, I'm just a little curious."
Xia Yi smiled slightly, "I was just looking for a chance to tell you about this. After you... left, I traveled all over the earth, met some people, and established other human relationships with a few of them. One of them is my current teacher. He taught me a lot about humans."
Jiang Yuelu: "Is this teacher also a ghost?"
Xia Yi nodded, "Yes. It was because of him that I was able to establish a connection with Him. The teacher said that He has awakened, so He must have awakened."
"He conveyed some... well, in your words, it's the Ghost Oracle. The Ghost Oracle didn't say that I must stop you or kill you." Xia Yi thought of those muddled but extremely sweet mumblings, and a trace of confusion emerged from his brows, "Even..."
Jiang Yuelu couldn't help but ask: "Even?"
"Even, it's like letting me help you." Xia Yi looked at him.
"Help me?" Jiang Yuelu thought about it and shuddered as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
