Chapter 520 A Pillow of Fresh Breeze
After one stick of incense.
Under Wei Changtian's repeated questioning, the remnant soul finally said everything he needed to say.
The next moment, the Xuantian Sword turned into a residual image and returned to the Star Scabbard.
The fire flickered and silence returned to the secret room.
"call"
After exhaling heavily, Wei Changtian slowly sat down on the wooden chair, rubbing his forehead continuously.
He felt a slight pain in his head.
Not only psychologically, but also physiologically.
Zhuang Zhiming, Elder Qingtai, the Council of Elders, the residual soul... The whole thing is not difficult to understand, but the chaotic and intertwined crisis hidden behind it suddenly makes Wei Changtian feel as if he is walking on a tightrope.
It is obvious who Elder Qingtai is.
Wei Changtian could not think of any other possibility except Xu Suisui.
So, there are five elders in total, and now three of them are in Daning? ?
The area of the C-3 Division only accounts for one twenty-second of the world, but the number of elders accounts for three-fifths? This doesn't conform to mathematical probability! But it's also true, after all, I am now the "protagonist".
According to the logic of story writing, there must be "coincidence" before there can be "contradiction".
It is not difficult to understand if you think about it this way. Wei Changtian does not know what the original plot is like.
But there was one thing he was sure of—
That is Xu Suisui is trying hard to change his "destiny".
Because if she had not traveled through time, the original Xu Suisui and Xu Quan's sister would never have been able to steal the remnant soul's token.
So, what exactly does she want to do? Just to earn system points?
Then why did she keep saying that she was helping me? And she even left such a "sincere and heartfelt" letter? Also, what was Zhuang Zhiming's purpose? Zhuang Zhiming was going to visit me the day after tomorrow. How would he test me then?
“.”
Looking at the Kuilong token in front of him, Wei Changtian did not move.
As he was thinking, a bold idea suddenly came to him.
How about killing Zhuang Zhiming?
If he could kill the latter and seize his token, he would immediately occupy two seats in the Elders' Council.
wrong.
The most crucial token of Elder Qingtai is still in Xu Suisui's hands.
Besides, Zhuang Zhiming is definitely not that easy to kill.
Although he had exchanged for a "Divine Strike Talisman" when he killed "Yan Luo" in Fengyuan before, but it was useless, and now he has 700 system points left, which is enough to exchange for another Divine Strike Talisman.
But if Zhuang Zhiming has enough life-saving items on him, then the two divine strikes are not safe.
Besides, I have to keep the system points for when I go to Huailing, they will be of great use, and it would be a waste to use them on this matter.
Wait a minute, there's no rush.
The disadvantages of killing Zhuang Zhiming far outweigh the advantages, and it is not time to break up. [Three days later, at midnight, there is an important matter to discuss]
After taking another glance at the small words on the Kuilong token, Wei Changtian sighed softly.
Alas, the real crux of the problem lies in Xu Suisui.
Maybe I shouldn't have let her go at that time. The beginning of the Xu hour.
When the new moon rose into the night sky and bright lights were lit outside Wei's house, Wei Changtian finally returned home from the Freemasonry.
The chef hired from "Baichuanlou" is highly skilled, and the exquisite bowls and plates of all sizes are filled with delicious dishes of all colors, aromas and flavors.
But Wei Changtian ate without any appetite, as his mind was still filled with the images of Zhuang Zhiming and Xu Suisui.
I just drank a bowl of chicken soup, ate a few bites of vegetables and a small bowl of rice.
Putting down his chopsticks, Wei Changtian walked straight out of the dining hall and headed towards the backyard under the moonlight.
He was a little absent-minded along the way, so he didn't realize he was in the wrong place until he saw the small courtyard gate in front of him.
There are now five small courtyards in the backyard of the Wei residence, three of which are occupied by Xu Qingwan, Liang Qin, and Lu Jingyao, and the other two are idle.
As he had just gotten married, Wei Changtian had of course been staying at Liang Qin’s place for the past few days.
As a result, I have unknowingly come to Comrade Xiao Xu again.
“.”
After hesitating for a moment, he did not leave, but walked straight into the yard.
Walk through the breeze-filled yard and into the dark room.
Just as Wei Changtian was using his inner strength to light a few candles, a slight sound of footsteps was heard outside the house.
Of course it was Xu Qingwan who hurried back without finishing her meal.
"Changtian, what's wrong with you?"
Pushing the door open and entering the room, Xu Qingwan walked over quickly and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't you eat much just now? Did something happen?"
"Nothing, just a little tired."
Wei Changtian replied sullenly, kicked off his boots and lay down on the bed: "I'll lie down for a while."
“.”
Comrade Xiao Xu looked at Wei Changtian, who was lying on his back, with a worried look on his face, and it was obvious that he had something else to say.
But after hesitating for a moment, she still said nothing.
Outside the window, the clear Milky Way is like a bridge scattered with many pearls, twinkling with starlight from the depths of the universe on the last sultry night of late autumn.
However, Wei Changtian, who was lying in bed with his clothes on, did not feel hot at all. Instead, he felt a sense of coolness.
This gentle cool breeze slowly blew away some of the irritability in his heart.
He closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare relaxation. After an unknown amount of time, Wei Changtian slowly opened his eyes, wanting to explore the origin of this cool breeze.
Then he saw Xu Qingwan leaning against the head of the bed, gently waving a small palm-leaf fan in her hand.
Comrade Xiao Xu must have maintained this posture for a long time. Now his eyes are slightly closed and his face actually looks a bit tired.
"Why? Are you tired too?"
He sat up with a smile and took the fan very naturally.
Wei Changtian fanned the two of them personally, and jokingly said, "You are at least a fifth-rank, how come you get tired just by fanning?"
"Hmm?"
Xu Qingwan rubbed her eyes in a daze. It seemed that she was half asleep and half awake just now.
"A-Are you awake?"
"Yeah, I feel better after lying down for a while."
Wei Changtian turned his head to look at the copper clock in the corner and found that he had been lying there for nearly two hours. "Go to sleep if you are tired. It is getting late anyway."
"You go to sleep first."
Xu Qingwan yawned a little: "Hehe, I still have some accounts to look up."
"Check the accounts?"
Wei Changtian was a little surprised: "Is Yingfengsheng so busy?"
“Yes, there are many things.”
While talking, Comrade Xiao Xu forced himself to sit down at the table and took out a thick account book from his small bag.
She lightened the lamp a little, opened the account book, and then looked back at Wei Changtian with some concern.
"If you think it's too bright, just draw the curtains."
"I'll try to be as quiet as possible. If you're still disturbed, tell me and I'll check again tomorrow."
“.”
Although he was worried that it would disturb Wei Changtian's sleep, he still had to look at the account book. It was obvious that Comrade Xiao Xu was really anxious to "handle the work."
When Wei Changtian looked at her, he suddenly felt an emotion he had never experienced before.
I am tired, but isn't Xu Qingwan tired too? As the shopkeeper and major shareholder of Yingfengsheng, this is equivalent to the general manager and chairman of a large enterprise in the previous life.
Therefore, the things Comrade Xiao Xu needs to deal with every day are probably far beyond his imagination.
But Wei Changtian never heard her complain.
In fact, it’s not just Xu Qingwan.
Including Liang Qin, who practiced hard every day; Ning Yuke, who was busy with the country's political affairs; Chu Xianping, who was always trying to give him advice; and Du Chang, who lived and ate with the Tengu Army.
Even Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen who were far away in the capital city holding Ning Yongnian back, as well as countless ordinary Freemason gang members. Who among all these people had an easy life?
And compared to his own situation, their situation might be even more dangerous.
And who among them has ever given up because of this?
“.”
Looking at the candle lamp not far away and Xu Qingwan's thin back leaning over the table, Wei Changtian suddenly understood something.
He had always thought that he had given these people a "better life", but now he suddenly realized that without these people who shared his worries and even risked their lives for him, he would not have what he has now.
So, what qualifications do I have to complain about the world because of a little difficulty?
"Bang!"
It was like a wake-up call, and the knot in my heart caused by Kuilong's incident suddenly dissipated in an instant.
Wei Changtian looked at Xu Qingwan's figure again, then smiled and lay down again.
He did not advise Comrade Xiao Xu to go to bed early and leave the "work" until tomorrow.
And he would never sigh again because of those damn Zhuang Zhiming and Xu Suisui.
If you have trouble, do your best to solve it. It's that simple.
Now, sleep! "."
After making up his mind, Wei Changtian, in a good mood, quickly closed his eyes and entered the dream path to practice.
After a while, Xu Qingwan, holding the account book, also sat down beside the bed.
While she continued to flip through the account book in the flickering candlelight, she raised the small palm-leaf fan again and slowly fanned Wei Changtian.
In fact, Comrade Xiao Xu could have asked a maid to do this.
But she always felt that taking good care of Wei Changtian was her duty as a wife, and it would be better not to let others do it for her.
“Hoo~Hoo~Hoo~”
A bright moon over the stream and a cool breeze on your pillow.
Be humble and modest, and adapt to the times.
While flipping through the account book, Xu Qingwan once again looked at Wei Changtian who was "sleeping" soundly.
She saw that the latter's frown had relaxed, and she smiled softly as well.
