Gu Huaiwei has excellent hearing.
Sometimes, she doesn't want to hear too clearly or see too clearly. She always believes in being ignorant and living from day to day.
But she was too sensitive.
You pretend to be confused about some things, but you are clear about them in your heart, and you have to swallow the bitter taste of it yourself.
Gu Huaiwei didn't look back. She raised her foot and walked into the dark corridor.
The housekeeper is responsible for funeral arrangements.
Outside the castle, red roses are in full bloom.
These flowers are the only life force in this dead castle. The red petals sway in the wind, and the bright color looks like it is stained with blood.
Only Gu Huaiwei and her father attended the funeral. Gu Huaiwei wore a black tight dress. She took off the jade bracelet she had been wearing on her hand. She was dressed in plain clothes without a single piece of jewelry.
Dad was also wearing a formal suit.
The two of them stood a little distance apart and didn't speak.
Gu Huaiwei presented the last bouquet of flowers.
The mother in the coffin was very quiet, as if she was asleep. Gu Huaiwei placed the flowers in her arms and whispered, "Rest in peace in the next life, and we will never see each other again."
Dad didn't cry when he presented the flowers.
His eyes were just a little red, but he remained silent and didn't say anything.
Perhaps silence is the biggest cry.
Quiet, yet deafening.
The butler closed the coffin.
The main work of the funeral is presided over by the housekeeper.
Because there were not many people, the funeral process was simple.
After Mom's death, Dad's mission was declared a failure. He saw clearly that Gu Huaiwei would never hand over the power he had obtained from the small dimension, so he no longer wasted his energy trying to portray his father.
He became a stranger.
He left the castle without even saying goodbye.
Gu Huaiwei's companions are still at the foot of the mountain.
Not wanting to waste too much time waiting in the castle, she took out the blue feather and went to the butler, asking, "This is a token from the castle's owner. When can I see him?"
The butler placed the velvet cake and black tea from the dining cart in front of Gu Huaiwei. He glanced at the blue feather and said something that was not related to Gu Huaiwei's question: "I thought the young lady would ask where your father went."
Gu Huaiwei was stunned: "The mission failed, didn't he leave?"
The housekeeper never said a word of unnecessary nonsense since Gu Huaiwei came to the castle. She was a little surprised that she could chat with Gu Huaiwei like this today.
The housekeeper's gaze lingered on Gu Huaiwei's face for a moment, then he looked away and smiled, "Miss, you really are just like the legend."
He only said half of his words.
What is the legend?
Gu Huaiwei felt that Leyuan must be saying bad things about her behind her back.
The housekeeper seemed to see through her depression and explained respectfully, "Legend has it that the young lady has a strong character and is the seventh chosen one."
"I'll take that as a compliment." Gu Huaiwei pinched the base of the blue feather and rubbed it gently, spinning the feather between her fingers. "Now I just want to see the person who arranged all this behind the scenes."
"It will take some time. Before that, you can tell me if you have any requests. I will treat you well."
Gu Huaiwei asked again: "Can I pick up my friend and go up the mountain?"
The butler shook his head: "The masters only invited you."
"Okay."
That night, the butler left the room after delivering dinner. The butler never appeared late at night. Gu Huaiwei did not go back to bed to rest. She took advantage of the dark night and strong wind to leave the castle and meet her companions at the foot of the mountain.
There is no signal in the castle.
Not only that, the sound transmission notes cannot be used.
Gu Huaiwei and Sister Jin had not seen each other for some time, and worried about accidents, they went down the mountain in the dark.
Coming to the castle yard, the red roses in the garden swayed in the evening breeze, emitting a faint fragrance.
Gu Huaiwei thought that her father had already gone back to report.
But I didn't expect that my father secretly picked a large bunch of roses and leaned against my mother's grave to talk to her dead mother.
He is very lonely.
Those who remained in Paradise were all alone.
Paradise does not belong to humans.
All they had was each other.
When my father is deeply moved, he will secretly wipe away his tears.
He didn't let outsiders see his tears.
Only when it is late at night and everyone is asleep will I tell the most important person about my grievances.
Gu Huaiwei walked lightly.
She used the flowers in the garden to hide her figure.
After leaving the castle, she used her spiritual energy to shuttle through the jungle and quickly went down the mountain.
There were no obstacles along the way.
Gu Huaiwei came to the foot of the mountain, where they parted.
As expected, no one was found.
The feeling of uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger.
Xiling Ling and Sister Jin are human beings, so it's normal that they don't stay here all the time.
Maybe they found a suitable place to live nearby and waited for Gu Huaiwei to contact them.
But the semi-finished product is different. Gu Huaiwei told him to wait for her here.
Semi-finished products do not require eating or drinking.
At most, some unlucky person passing by here will be swallowed by his body.
Gu Huaiwei was looking for someone nearby.
There were signs of a fight not far away.
Gu Huaiwei found a pool of blood under the broken branch.
This was the blood from Xiling Ling's body. She had smelled this smell before and could tell it apart.
They must have been attacked.
Gu Huaiwei was just about to take out the compass and follow the guidance of the blood to find their traces.
Suddenly, two slippery tentacles wrapped around Gu Huaiwei's mouth and waist respectively.
Gu Huaiwei instinctively drew her sword, and the blade drew a cold light in the air. Swiftly, accurately and ruthlessly, it stabbed straight at the tentacles that were attacking her.
