Chapter 338: Desert Forest 24
Su Qingyun went to Xu Xinghe's room again. Xu Xinghe was not sleeping. Instead, he took out a gun and loaded the magazine.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I'll check the gun, in case there's a problem when I need to use it."
Su Qingyun sat down next to him, thought for a moment, and decided to tell Xu Xinghe the truth. She said, "I sent Ye Jian to check near the bridge today because I smelled a familiar scent."
Xu Xinghe put down his gun and listened to her carefully.
Su Qingyun continued, "This incident occurred when he and I were acting alone, so I didn't explain it to you specifically."
Xu Xinghe put the gun into the space and asked Su Qingyun, "What is that familiar aura?"
Su Qingyun described it to him as "a sweet scent similar to the fragrance of flowers."
"Is Ye Jian looking for something?"
Su Qingyun nodded.
Xu Xinghe asked, "What is it?"
"I promised Ye Jian not to tell anyone else. I'm sorry, Xu Xinghe. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I promised Ye Jian. I hope you can understand."
Xu Xinghe nodded. He reached out and tucked a tuft of hair that fell on Su Qingyun's forehead behind her ear. He said very gently, "As long as you explain it to me clearly, I can understand anything. If you don't want to talk about it, you can tell me you don't want to talk about it, and I won't ask any more questions. But I don't want you to treat me as an outsider and be on guard against me."
Su Qingyun took a slight step back because of Xu Xinghe's action of helping her to pin her hair. This small action was noticed by the sensitive Xu Xinghe. He stopped his raised hand in mid-air and looked at Su Qingyun with a faint gaze.
Seems a little sad.
"Are you rejecting me?" he asked.
"No, no." Su Qingyun waved her hand and explained, "I'm just not used to people being so nice to me. Maybe it's because I've been in the dungeon for too long and I've forgotten how to get along with people."
"But I treat you well because I like you."
Su Qingyun really had no way to respond to this, so she had to get up and walk out.
"It's getting late, you should go to bed first."
She stopped at the door of the room and couldn't help but say, "Xu Xinghe, don't say such things in the future. We are just friends, and I don't want our relationship to be awkward."
Xu Xinghe also stood up and replied, "I understand. I won't say it again. It's enough for you to know my feelings."
Su Qingyun nodded and went out.
Huang Xiaoya pulled Ye Yi to eavesdrop at the corner of the corridor. When she saw Su Qingyun returning to her room, Huang Xiaoya came out from her hiding place.
She crossed her arms and said thoughtfully, "Our master is in trouble now."
"What trouble?" Ye Yi asked.
"Didn't you see?" Huang Xiaoya pointed at Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian's room, "Both of these bosses like our master."
Yoruichi said nothing.
Huang Xiaoya glanced at Ye Yi and shook her head helplessly, "I forgot that you are a ghost without desire or love. You don't understand the love between men and women at all. It's useless to tell you all this."
"I know."
Huang Xiaoya was surprised. She didn't expect Ye Yi to say that he knew.
"What do you know?"
"They both want to protect their master, want to be valued by their master, and hope to spend the rest of their lives with their master." Ye Yi's eyes slowly became longing, and finally he smiled.
Huang Xiaoya asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing. If the copy disappears, you and I will be trapped in the offering card forever. The rest of the master's life will have nothing to do with us. Do we still need to worry about her now?"
Huang Xiaoya was really surprised. She touched her head and said to herself, "Oh, why didn't I think of this possibility?"
She asked Yoruichi, "Yoruichi, if the copy really disappears, what should we do?"
"We shouldn't have existed in this world in the first place. Disappearing or not disappearing makes no difference to us. The only difference is..."
Ye Yi looked towards Su Qingyun's room.
The only difference is that he can no longer protect his master.
The Contract God does not need to sleep.
So when everyone was resting, Huang Xiaoya was responsible for cleaning up the dishes, washing clothes, and looking after the potatoes and mushrooms she planted.
Huang Xiaoya felt that if the copy disappeared, as long as the owner gave her a safe house, she could spend a long time happily.
Ye Yize sat cross-legged on the sofa, guarding this safe house.
When the sun was about to set, Su Qingyun was awakened by a knock on the door. She got up and opened it.
Standing outside the door was Huang Xiaoya. She said that something happened outside the safe house, and Ye Yi went to check it out.
"What's going on?"
"Someone is active near our safe house."
Su Qingyun hurried downstairs. In the room, Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian also got up. When they heard the footsteps, they both opened the door.
They also ran downstairs.
Outside the safe house, the scorching heat was still there.
Ye Yi stood under the eaves, looking straight ahead with a sharp gaze.
"Did you see who it was?" Su Qingyun asked him.
"Not a living person."
If they are not alive, they are dead. It is not even eight o'clock yet, and the indigenous people in the ancient city will not come out. Could it be that there is a third type of people active in this ancient city?
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the heat wave almost knocked Su Qingyun over.
Su Qingyun took two steps back, and finally Ye Jian came out and supported her.
"It's windy?" Ye Jian frowned and looked outside.
The wind did blow, and it not only brought heat waves but also blew up yellow sand.
The visibility in the sky was very low, and even the big tree not far from the safe house was only a vague shadow.
Xu Xinghe also walked out of the house. He looked around and said to Su Qingyun and Ye Jian, "This is very ineffective for our actions today."
Yes, today they are going to find a building with a red cross inscribed on it in the old city.
"Just now, some non-humans came to check our safe house." Su Qingyun told the two of them about Ye Yi's discovery.
She said, "It seems we can't stay here for long. We must find a hidden entrance tonight, otherwise it will be even more troublesome tomorrow."
Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian nodded.
When the three of them returned to the safe house, Huang Xiaoya had already brought out dinner. She asked Su Qingyun with concern if anything was wrong outside.
"It's okay." Su Qingyun sat down pretending to be relaxed.
Su Qingyun was actually thinking about one thing, which was whether to take Huang Xiaoya away tonight.
If they find the entrance tonight, they may not come back and can directly enter the dungeon with Huang Xiaoya.
But if they took her away, what if they couldn't find the entrance and wanted to return, would this safe house still be their safe house?
Explore what will happen if the safe house is not placed in the ancient city according to the rules.
But if it cannot be recycled, it may no longer be yours once released.
Because this is a copy, a place you will never return to once you have experienced it.
After thinking about it, Su Qingyun felt that the best option was to let Huang Xiaoya continue to stay in the safe house. After they found the entrance, they would send Ye Yi back to pick her up.
Just waste some time.
