"Am I in deep trouble? Why am I back in this game after being in one last one? I'm just an innocent bystander! Instead of investigating where those evil spirits came from, you keep asking me questions. What? Do I look like a psychopath?!"
With shackles on her hands, Lu Xiaoyao glared angrily at the NPCs from the Patrol Division sitting in front of her, as well as her unjustly accused boyfriend!
After months of no news, they suddenly brought me in for questioning, seemingly "putting righteousness before family."
Because she was truly innocent this time, Lu Xiaoyao spoke with great conviction and without a trace of guilt.
"Please tell me again what you just saw, fairy."
Unfortunately, they weren't buying it.
They were all cultivators, and they knew all too well that cultivators possessed a myriad of methods and that people were extremely complex.
Who knows if the girl in front of you is a real girl or some old monster from a family that's hundreds or thousands of years old?
Besides, the evil spirits in the city today might very well have been deliberately created by others.
While demons themselves can corrupt humans and turn them into evil spirits, some unorthodox practitioners can do the same.
Julian, who had been sitting silently to the side the whole time, probably knew that he had offended Lu Xiaoyao badly, so he didn't participate at all.
He's been in this inspection office for over three months. Doesn't he know how complicated and offensive the procedures are?
If he makes a good impression, once Lu Xiaoyao is released, he'll take three months' salary and a washboard to apologize.
Sure enough, Lu Xiaoyao became even more agitated upon hearing this.
"Haven't I explained it three times enough? What exactly do you want?"
“But the things you said three times were different.” The NPC taking the statement was also aggrieved. “The first time, you said you encountered it by chance; the second time, you said you rushed to the scene as soon as you heard the noise; and just now, you said that when you arrived at the scene, the matter was almost over.”
The NPC who was taking a statement nearby dutifully showed Lu Xiaoyao what he had just recorded.
"No... I mean I accidentally heard a noise and immediately wanted to rush to the scene, but by the time I got there, the matter had already been mostly resolved! These three statements are not contradictory!"
"Your fourth version is different from the previous ones."
Lu Xiaoyao: ? ? !!
You guys are going to drive me crazy!
...
"Were there any in Linjing City just now?"
Mingyi, who had left earlier, returned to his wife and daughters. Mingmei and Meijiu sat obediently on the table and chairs that Mingyi had taken out.
While obediently eating the snacks Mingyi had prepared that morning, Mingmei secretly listened to the conversation between the two. She vaguely heard that Mingyi had also discovered a very gloomy and evil aura, which was why he followed them out of the city, but he lost track of them.
Unexpectedly, Mingmei and her two companions also encountered an attack in the city, and the time interval was very short, suggesting that they had discovered that they could not delay Mingyi for long.
"What do you think is going on with this evil spirit, sister?"
Mei Jiu was also eavesdropping, just like Mingmei.
However, when Mei Jiu asked her, Mingmei shook her head as if she didn't know anything.
"I wonder if Father and Mother will find out?"
"Really? I have a feeling it's unlikely." Hearing Mei Jiu's compliment, Mingmei's lips twitched unnaturally.
Right, otherwise what are these players doing here?
Even Mingmei had a feeling that these inexplicable outbursts might just be the beginning.
Sigh~
Mingmei sighed softly, only to see the other three members of the family all looking at her.
Bright and beautiful: =. =?
"Why are you sighing at such a young age?" Mei Shi patted Mingmei's head. Mingmei was startled, looked up at Mei Shi, and saw her smiling gently as she said, "Don't worry, your father and I will take care of anything. You two can do whatever you want without any worries, except for things that are utterly inhumane."
Even though she knew the person in front of her was an NPC, she still couldn't help but feel her eyes getting a little wet.
It seems that her parents have never had many demands on her.
Besides sending her to school =.=
In short, it was an indescribable feeling that slowly spread from the bottom of my heart, until it reached my eyes and made them feel a little sore...
But before she could continue feeling moved, a gust of wind blew, and tears streamed down her face. The NPC Mei Shi in front of her exclaimed with surprise, as if her persona had completely collapsed, "Oh my god!! Mei Mei is crying! Ah, Mei Mei is crying, that's rare!!"
Mingmei: ...
Although I subconsciously felt that this NPC ruined her mother's character.
Thinking about it again later, she felt that her mother could do anything without ruining her public image.
After that, Mei Shi and Ming Yi completely avoided talking about the two children again. When they returned to Jingyun Mountain, Ming Yi went directly to the sect leader again. Mei Shi took the two children back to their own peak. On the way, they met Mu Chen carrying pastries.
"Oh, you're the one Ah Ming mentioned who likes to make pastries?" Mei Shi wasn't surprised to see Mu Chen. She had already heard about it these past two days. Seeing him standing at the entrance to their mountain peak with pastries in hand, it was clear he was there to visit.
"Perfect timing, let's go up together." Mei Shi's enthusiasm made Mingmei glance at Mu Chen a few more times, and when she did, Mingmei's eyes suddenly lit up.
[Wow! This isn't Xie Chen~ It looks like Mu Chen!]
[To...] Gui Gui was completely speechless this time.
[My God, did Mu Chen just recover from Xie Chen's body?]
Gui Gui: [...]
No, they've been recovering for a long time now.
Has your pastry making improved?
Mei Jiu turned to look at Mu Chen first. Mu Chen showed the pastries to Mei Jiu and saw that they were new designs. Mei Jiu nodded in satisfaction and said, "As expected, with Father's guidance, you have improved very quickly. You've even come up with new designs."
[Huh? When did Xiao Jiu start contacting Xie Chen in private?]
Gui Gui: [No, I didn't do it in private...]
【Ah, that's because I haven't gone down the mountain enough...】Mingmei began to reflect on herself, and then wondered if Mu Chen had been "awakened" for several days and was deliberately blocking her way today.
No, I need to find some time tomorrow to see Mu Chen and ask him about his situation.
Gui Gui remained silent, ignoring Ming Mei's words.
It had heard it countless times, but the tomorrow the host spoke of seemed to never come.
Last time, Mingmei wanted to stay up all night to find Mu Chen the next day, but the moment she saw Mu Chen the next day, her memories seemed to be deleted under certain conditions, and the beginning of her desire to reunite with Mu Chen once again became their first encounter.
Gui Gui wondered if Mu Chen had noticed that Ming Mei's eyes had gone from surprise to confusion, and then back to surprise again.
However, the meanings of these two surprises are completely different.
At this moment, Guigui was struggling with whether or not to tell her host again today that she had forgotten Mu Chen countless times.
