Chapter 12

Yao Yue almost wanted to turn around and leave, but she was unwilling to do so. The protagonist of the topic, Shan Shan, arrived late when the two sides were in a stalemate.

No matter who it was, the first thing they saw when they saw Zhong Ming was the silver mask on his face, followed by the pair of eyes that were aloof and revealed a suppressed emotion.

[Side Quest: Calm the Wrath of Palace Master Yao Yue]

[Quest Description: Palace Master Yao Yue is coming in force, why? Is it because of an unexplained misunderstanding, or because of a past event that she has hidden deep in her heart? What will you choose?]

The unexplained misunderstanding refers to the way the letter was delivered - this is indeed unexplainable, so Bu Zao does not intend to explain it at all. Keeping the misunderstanding like this will help shape the image of Wanwulou as unfathomable.

But what does "the past event hidden in the heart" mean? Bu Zao is confused about this.

There seems to be no such plot as "Yao Yue's thoughts" in the game.

Chongming stood in the open space and looked at the group of uninvited guests, frowning fiercely: "Are you here to challenge me? Get out of the way."

No one would be happy to see a group of people blocking the main entrance. The eldest disciple was obviously unhappy. He was neither sympathetic nor considerate. His frown showed his obvious displeasure.

Sikong Zhaixing was gloating over the misfortune, and Lu Xiaofeng's mouth twitched. Did Chongming know or not know Yaoyue's identity?

Yaoyue turned around and looked at Chongming.

At this moment, there was no system prompt sound, because a few years ago, when the third disciple landed in disguise, he had met the two palace masters of Yihua Palace.

In other words, Palace Master Yao Yue has been included in the Jianghu Figures Illustrated Book, and her whereabouts are clear without the need to collect information through the Wanwu Building.

Yao Yue's eyes looked like she wanted to give Chong Ming a hard slap, but then she thought of something, suppressed her anger, and said unceremoniously: "Hurry up and let me in."

Chong Ming stepped forward, and the disciples of Yihua Palace made way for him. He was dressed in black among the white clothes, like ink on paper, very conspicuous.

Yao Yue did not move, and Chong Ming passed by her, squinted at her, and asked: "Are you dissatisfied with the information I provided? Wuqing is very satisfied."

Yao Yue frowned and said nothing, followed Chong Ming into the yard surrounded by the disciples of Yihua Palace, and followed him all the way to the study.

Chongming closed the door without saying a word. It was obvious that although Yaoyue came with such force and they didn't even say a few meaningful words, there was an unspoken understanding between them. Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong Zhaixing and the disciples of Yihua Palace who were locked out by him looked at each other.

Sikong Zhaixing: "To be honest, who does he think we are?"

Lu Xiaofeng pondered: "I'm curious too."

[The system generates the same doubts as the game characters.]

In the study, Yaoyue and Chongming looked at each other across the desk, and a heavy atmosphere filled the air.

"What do you think of me that you want to settle accounts with me?"

Chongming looked at her unhappily.

Yao Yue: "Your men broke into Yihua Palace."

Chong Ming: "So"

Yao Yue: "So you don't even take Yihua Palace seriously."

"..." Chong Ming picked up a book, lowered his head to flip through it, and asked casually, "So what can I do to mend your useless self-esteem?"

The rebellious senior brother is a traitor from head to toe. Yao Yue's condescending attitude will only bring worse attitudes.

Bu Zao is a dedicated and professional player. No one can compare to his senior disciple in terms of darkness and twistedness.

[The system expressed appreciation for the player's dedication.]

...

"You are looking for death!!"

Yao Yue's angry shout came from the study, followed by a chaotic sound of bangs and clangs, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and it was very lively.

Lu Xiaofeng immediately went forward to check the situation, and Yaoyue happened to open the door from inside the house and met Lu Xiaofeng's eyes.

Yaoyue's eyes were jumping with anger and murderous intent.

Chongming was not seen in the study, the window was wide open, the table and chairs were in disarray, and the pages of the book were flipping in the wind.

Lu Xiaofeng was wondering in her heart, and Chongming came out from the back of the house, flapping his messy clothes, with an unexpected expression and a frown.

Yao Yue mocked, "You look so proud climbing through the window."

"Your actions only prove that what I said is correct," said Chong Ming, "You are angry because of shame."

Yao Yue laughed in anger, "Are you really not afraid of death or are you fighting to the death?"

Chong Ming made a "tsk" sound, looking extremely impatient, but he wanted to continue talking. You didn't need to think to know that he would not say anything nice.

Sikong Zhaixing gloated on the side, "There are no windows outside for you to climb through."

Although he didn't know what Chong Ming said, it must have been something unpleasant to hear. Doesn't this man know what it means to judge the situation and take it easy?

"Shut up," Chong Ming said mercilessly. Sikong Zhaixing shrugged. The fact that Chongming was forced to climb over the window by Yaoyue was even more interesting. He ignored Chongming's impolite words.

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

Although he didn't do anything, he didn't know why he felt a little tired.

"Why don't you two talk about it again," Lu Xiaofeng advised.

Yaoyue took action not long after the study door was closed. Lu Xiaofeng thought that the two of them might not even talk about the most critical points.

Lu Xiaofeng's words made Yaoyue's expression ease a little. She came to see Chongming for something else besides settling accounts.

Bu Zao was confused. He knew Yao Yue's whereabouts, but he didn't know what was in her mind. So what on earth was the "worry" in the mission description?

If he had to find a reason, it could only be related to the third disciple's vest.

Chong Ming stood under the eaves in silence, his face gloomy, and Yao Yue stared at him.

"..." Chong Ming said coldly, "I don't want to listen to nonsense this time."

He passed by the Yihua Palace disciples and walked into the study again. Yao Yue closed the study door behind him.

Outside the house, Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing looked at each other with the Yihua Palace disciples.

Sikong Zhaixing commented: "A boring drama."

The Yihua Palace disciples' eyes were as sharp as a knife. Lu Xiaofeng said quickly: "Shut up."

"Shut up!"

Yao Yue heard everything clearly through the door.

The two voices rang out almost at the same time. Sikong Zhaixing widened his eyes, surprised that he was yelled at.

Is it wrong for him to tell the truth?

*

The two people in the room were speechless. Chong Ming bent down and lifted the table. His face was expressionless, and an unpleasant breath emanated from his body.

"I want you to find someone." Yao Yue came straight to the point with an arrogant attitude.

"A living person or a dead person?"

Chong Ming didn't look at her, but bent down to pick up the table and chairs, looking perfunctory and indifferent.

Yao Yue was very angry, but after the uproar just now, she was too lazy to think about it: "I don't know whether she is dead or alive, and I haven't seen her for seven years."

Bu Zao: Hmm... Hmm

Was it not long after this time seven years ago when he just landed? Could it really be related to the third disciple's vest?

Chongming put a pile of books on the table and looked up at Yao Yue opposite.

Yao Yue continued: "She had a red teardrop mole under her right eye. She was about eleven or twelve years old at the time. She was a pretty girl. Seven years ago, she and I dealt with Wei Wuya's persistent beating. If you are really powerful, you should start from what happened seven years ago."

At this point, Yao Yue sneered: "I won't tell you any more information, and I don't want to tell you."

... Bu Zao was shocked.

He didn't care about Yao Yue's embarrassment at all, after all, he was himself. Just

based on those few sentences, it can be concluded that the person Yao Yue was talking about was the third disciple in disguise. He did meet Yao Yue when he first landed, and he did do some impressive things -

"Red Tear Mole"

Bu Zao was surprised, but Chong Ming still reacted as a traitorous senior brother when he heard the characteristics of the younger junior brother.

He repeated the characteristics of the person Yao Yue was looking for.

Yao Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling a little strange, Chong Ming said indifferently: "You don't want to tell

me your name, origin, or whereabouts, you have to give me one." Yao Yue said coldly: "Are you deaf? I don't want to tell you, I am making things difficult for you."

"It sounds nice, if you don't know, just say you don't know." Chong Ming's tone was the same as hers, "Useless self-esteem."

Yao Yue's eyes looked like she wanted to chop him into pieces.

Bu Zao said it without any guilt, he didn't leave any information at all at the beginning, just to be mysterious so that they could meet again in the future.

So this is why Bu Zao is puzzled. He didn't do anything bad at the beginning, and he and Yao Yue have only been together for a few days. Why is Yao Yue still thinking about him after seven years and planning to find the third disciple through Wanwu Building? Is the impression too deep?

Let alone other things, at least Yao Yue's desire to find the third disciple through Wanwu Building was not within Bu Zao's expectations.

[By the way, I can understand that my skills can't find this part of the content. After all, thoughts are secrets that can't be heard or seen, but why did you say it so vaguely in the task description?] Bu Zao raised a question, [It won't go wrong if you describe it more clearly.]

The system's answer is more like AI customer service than before: [Dear player, appropriate vague descriptions help improve the game experience.]

[I thought the new mode would not focus on this part of the game experience. 】

After all, Bu Zao, as a player who has played a single-player game once, is familiar with most of the plots, and is very clear about the characters and related events.

In other words, there is no need to blur the mission description for him.

【The mission descriptions related to the player's actions after landing seven years ago will be blurred.】The system said, 【In order to make the player's gaming experience exciting.】

Bu Zao: 【……】

Wait a minute, how could he remember what specific shit he did back then? What the hell is excitement?

〖The system expressed understanding of the player's silence.〗

After chatting with the system, Bu Zao fell silent, and Yao Yue, who was standing opposite him, was also silent.

Yao Yue seemed to be recalling something, with a distant look.

After "Calming Yao Yue's Rage", a new task popped up in the game bar, "Yao Yue's Missing Person Request". The description was vague, but Bu Zao knew the person involved clearly.

→【Accept】or【Reject】

... So is it necessary to deal with it vaguely?

Bu Zao wanted to confirm the position of the Third Disciple Vest in her heart, so she asked: "You have remembered him for seven years without even knowing his name. Is he an enemy... or a benefactor?"

Yao Yue looked unhappy. Everyone was polite to her and kept their distance, but Chong Ming had a bad attitude since he met her, and the tone of his question to her was even more impolite.

"Neither an enemy nor a benefactor, just a passerby."

The past scenes flashed in Yao Yue's mind.

A pretty girl with a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye smiled at her in the cave on a rainy night. The flames jumped between the two of them, their shadows swayed on the stone wall behind them, and cold wind and rain blew in from outside the cave.

- And the scene when the other party smiled and rejected her invitation.

After many years, maybe she has already died.

Yao Yue calmed down and asked: "Will you take this business?"

Chong Ming looked at her as if to say "Is there any need to look for it since there is nothing?" Yao Yue glared at him.

"Take it." Chong Ming said.

This is simply the simplest business in Wanwu Building. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fortune falling from the sky. There is no need to hesitate at all.

The main reason why the eldest senior brother betrayed his master was because of the master, the head of the sect. The relationship with the junior brothers is complicated, but not bad.

- This is the master-student relationship in the Salted Fish Sect. Therefore, it is reasonable for Chongming to meet his junior brother in the future.
