Chapter 357 Concealment
Early the next morning, Tao Zi got up early, which was rare for her. The maid brought her two sets of clothes, one bright red and one pink. She directly chose the bright red one.
When I arrived at the lobby with the little fox in my arms, Han Yueshan and the others were already chatting there, looking quite relaxed.
"Senior Sister!" Xi Jing was the first to look over, her eyes curved, "Wow, Senior Sister, this dress looks so nice."
"Xi Jing is also very beautiful." Tao Zi walked over and touched her head, put the little fox next to Jiao'er and the little phoenix, then looked at the gentleman and bowed to say hello.
The gentleman smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. Let's have breakfast first and talk about other things later."
She should be.
After breakfast, Yue Qingya and the Thousand Needle Doctor took Xi Jing and the others away, and suddenly there were only three people left in the lobby.
The master pointed to the seats on both sides and asked them to sit down. He said, "I asked someone to calculate yesterday, and the answer given by the Heavenly Dao is that Tao Zi is Wuyou."
Cheng Wuchou looked even more worried, and said, "I'm afraid that after seeing us discover the truth, they simply stopped hiding it."
The gentleman sighed softly and said, "I've been thinking about this over and over again. I always feel that the way of heaven would not do these things for no reason. I'm afraid there are deep waters here."
Tao Zi turned the teacup in her hand, somewhat nonchalantly.
He looked at her and asked, "Xiao Zi, do you have any ideas?"
She said, "Is it really the will of heaven to deliberately mislead my brother?"
"In terms of emotion and logic, Heaven would never do such a thing."
Cheng Wuchou frowned and said, "But all the clues point to Tiandao. Could it be that someone is impersonating Tiandao?"
The gentleman shook his head and said, "It is almost impossible to pretend to be the way of heaven."
Tao Zi took a sip of tea, which was a bit bitter. She frowned, put down the teacup, and said, "Which is more likely to be greater, pretending to be the Heavenly Dao or having selfish intentions?"
The gentleman pondered for a long time, his expression showing a rare sense of helplessness: "Maybe...it's all quite outrageous."
She suddenly remembered what Jiao'er had said when she came here, and said, "Jiao'er said something before, roughly to the effect that the weather had changed. Could it be related to this?"
Hearing this, the gentleman's expression suddenly changed. He stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, then said solemnly, "I'm going to be away for a while and will be back soon. You guys wait here first."
Watching him leave in a hurry, Tao Zi hesitated and asked, "Brother, didn't you tell the teacher?"
Cheng Wuchou was a little embarrassed for once and said, "Brother, I forgot."
Not long after, the maid came in to pour tea. Tao Zi keenly noticed that there was something wrong with her cup of tea. She took a sip and found that it was actually sugar water.
Feeling the sweetness in her mouth, she felt a little complicated. She knew that it was her husband who asked her to change it, but she didn't know how he noticed this.
Cheng Wuchou changed the subject and asked, "Why aren't you wearing the pink one?"
She thought for a moment and then asked, "Don't tell me you chose that suit."
Instead of answering, he asked, "Isn't it pretty?"
Tao Zi gave a heartfelt reply: "Too pink."
"Girls, pink and tender are so beautiful."
Hearing these mysteriously familiar words, Tao Zi took out a large pink hammer tied with a pink bow and asked herself, "Do you think this pink hammer looks good?"
"Uh... pink is so nice for girls."
She put the hammer back with a wooden face.
At this time, the gentleman also came back with a pile of letters in his hand.
When Cheng Wuchou saw the letters, his expression changed and he said, "Sir, do I need to let Anu know about these letters?"
Seeing that even his address had changed, Tao Zi immediately shifted her gaze to the letters.
The gentleman's answer was rather strange: "I don't know."
She hesitated and said, "Sir, what are these letters?"
He walked back to his seat and said gently, "This is written down with everything we calculated."
Cheng Wuchou immediately explained: "The Cheng family and Xujiamen have their own ambitions. Ah Zi, you don't have to worry about it."
Tao Zi nodded in understanding and said, "I know. I can't even handle my own problems, so how can I care about other things?"
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The gentleman glanced at Cheng Wuchou before continuing, "I just collected all this information and found some signs that something is amiss. Wuchou, take a look."
Obviously, he didn't intend to let Tao Zi see the contents. Although she was curious, she didn't ask too many questions.
The letters were clearly divided into two categories. After Cheng Wuchou flipped through them one by one, his expression gradually became serious. He said, "Something is indeed wrong. Some of the words in them now seem quite contradictory."
Tao Zi looked over and asked, "For example? Can you tell me?"
He thought for a moment and said, "There's a message here that's two hundred years old. It says to save people, and the ones to be saved are you and me. But isn't it the way of heaven that tempted that sect to take action?"
She didn't ask what the master had done that actually involved the then young brother and sister. She just said, "The people sent by that sect are from an alien race."
"It doesn't matter, because the person who gave the order is indeed from the mainland."
Cheng Wuchou flipped through it again and said, "It seems there are no other contradictions."
Hearing his judgment, the gentleman smiled and said, "That being said, it's better to be cautious."
Tao Zi listened to their conversation and asked, "Heavenly Dao—let's assume for now that it was Heavenly Dao who was behind this. Why would it stop you, brother, from finding me? What is it about me that Heavenly Dao cares about?"
"That's the problem." The gentleman's eyes were bright. "If we figure this out, we might understand the meaning of the change in the world."
She rubbed her forehead, feeling that today's conversation had achieved nothing.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Wuchou said, "Azi, go back and rest first. I will talk to the teacher later."
Tao Zi agreed and got up to leave.
After she left, Cheng Wuchou lowered his head and read the letter over and over again.
The gentleman advised gently, "Wu Qiu, don't look at it anymore. No matter how much you look at it, you will come to the same conclusion."
He handed the letter back to Mr. Yu with both hands and said with a wry smile, "Everything that's wrong is related to Ah Zi. But, sir, Ah Zi's fate was supposed to be one of prosperity, happiness, and peace. The setbacks in her childhood should have been her only hardship. How did it turn out like this?"
The gentleman stared at the letter and murmured, "Who knows? I'm curious too."
Cheng Wuchou endured it again and again, and finally said: "Sir, I have a request."
"you say."
"Can you not involve Ah Zi in this? She already has enough hatred, I don't want her to have any more obsession."
The gentleman smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought of letting her get involved in this situation, but there is no grudge. This is not something I can control."
Cheng Wuchou pursed his lips and whispered, "Sir, is reviving the royal family so important? So important that you're willing to become a mortal with no chance of reincarnation just to survive until now?"
