Chapter 627: Weird Attitude
"I see!" The judge nodded and then said, "It's just a small matter. Of course there's no problem."
"I wonder who the ghost the girl is looking for is?"
"Yi Huai." Zhong Nianyao spoke directly, "He died just a few days ago. I have something I want to ask him. I hope the judge will be accommodating."
"Yi Huai?"
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, the judge's face changed slightly, and then he said, "I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter, young lady. Please forgive me."
The judge's answer was not what Zhong Nianyao had expected. After a pause, she spoke, "Judge, I just want to ask Yi Huai a few questions. This doesn't conflict with the rules of your underworld, right? Can't you be flexible this time?"
The judge's behavior was a bit strange. At first, he had clearly agreed. But after hearing Yi Huai's name, he immediately changed his mind. It seemed that the key to this problem still lay with Yi Huai.
"What happened to Yi Huai's soul?" Lu Yichen asked directly, "There's something wrong with his soul, isn't it?"
Hearing Lu Yichen's cold words, the judge trembled subconsciously, his whole body was shocked, and his expression became serious.
Not daring to hide anything, he immediately continued, "Indeed, Yi Huai's soul has disappeared. We in the underworld have also sent many ghost messengers to search for him, but we still don't have any clues."
"What? Disappeared?"
Zhong Nianyao's voice rose several degrees in shock, "How is this possible! Yi Huai just died not long ago, how could his soul disappear!"
After clearing his throat, the judge continued, "This matter is indeed bizarre. A few days ago, the ghost messenger from our underworld came to capture Yi Huai's soul when he died."
"Normally, after death, people will remain beside their corpses for a while, waiting for the ghost messenger from the underworld to come and take their souls away, so that they can enter the underworld and reincarnate again. However, the ghost messenger did not find Yi Huai's soul. More importantly, it was as if Yi Huai's presence had completely disappeared from this world."
"Has it completely disappeared?"
A glint flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes, and then she smiled and nodded, "If that's the case, then forget it. However, Judge, I'm still very grateful for your special trip today."
The sudden change in Zhong Nianyao's attitude caught the judge off guard, and he almost couldn't retract his shocked look.
However, he quickly gathered his thoughts and said, "I'm sorry, girl, I can't help you with what happened today."
"No, it's me who's bothering you." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head, then suddenly changed the subject, "Come to think of it, the judge was really polite when he treated us! If I didn't know, I would have thought we knew each other before!"
I'm afraid it's more than just acquaintance, because the judge's attitude is really strange. Before, she had already noticed that the judge was too respectful when treating her and Lu Yichen. Moreover, this was not intentional, but revealed unintentionally, just like -
It's like a habit that the body is born into.
The judge actually apologized to her for not being able to find Yi Huai's soul today.
No matter how you look at it, this seems wrong!
"Girl, what are you talking about!" The judge's expression remained unchanged. "How could we have known each other before?"
Although there was no change in his facial expression, if you looked closely, you could see a hint of panic flashing deep in his eyes.
"Well, our ghost messengers from the underworld are searching intensively for Yi Huai's ghost. If they find him, they will definitely arrest him and bring him to you for an explanation." The judge smiled and continued, "If you encounter him in the human world, please lend us a hand."
"Of course." Zhong Nianyao nodded with a smile.
"Since everything is fine, I'll leave first."
After saying this, the judge hurried away. There was even a hint of panic in his steps, as if something terrible was chasing him.
Only after the judge disappeared from sight did Zhong Nianyao turn around and look at Lu Yichen beside her. She smiled sweetly and then said, "Yichen, what do you think of what I just said?"
Suddenly seeing Zhong Nianyao's brilliant smile, Lu Yichen was distracted for a moment. After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, he subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"
"Yichen, what are you thinking about!"
Zhong Nianyao reached out her hands, pinched the flesh on both sides of Lu Yichen's cheeks, rubbed them, and then spoke, "Have you forgotten what I just said? Tell me, what are you thinking about? I'm right next to you, and you still have the mind to think about something else."
Feeling the slight sting on both cheeks, Lu Yichen just found it funny. He did not resist and let Zhong Nianyao's hands mess with his cheeks, his eyes full of tenderness and pampering, "Apart from you, what else can I think of!"
Zhong Nianyao suddenly felt her cheeks getting hot, but she quickly came to her senses and curled her lips, "Yichen, I find that you are really getting better at talking!"
"Oh, really?" Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows, then grabbed Zhong Nianyao's hands that were still playing tricks on his face, "So do you like me like this?"
"Of course I like it." Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "No woman doesn't like to hear nice words. But, speaking like this really doesn't suit your character!"
"As long as you like, I can learn to change." Lu Yichen chuckled and said, "In the future, I will say more good things to you."
Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "Just be yourself. There's no need to change anything for me. I think you're great the way you are!"
Lu Yichen smiled and didn't dwell on the topic any further. However, only he knew what he was thinking.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Zhong Nianyao shook her head and continued, "I just said it was the judge's attitude. Don't you really think it's strange?"
"Actually, it's not just him, there's also the Black and White Impermanence and the others. Sometimes I always feel that their attitude is very strange, but I can't seem to put my finger on why. However, when they face us, they seem to be somewhat... um... respectful!"
"Really?" Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows, "Maybe you're just thinking too much!"
