Chapter 137 Night Candle Rules 15 "You are so beautiful."
Huo Wei, wearing a red windbreaker, stood next to Wu Yu, coldly looking at Nanmen Jue.
The boy they first met in the Snow Maiden's Ghost Realm personally led Nanmen Jue and the others to the shelter, but Nanmen Jue suddenly attacked and killed everyone in the shelter.
Everything happened very quickly. Nanmenjue blew up the stadium with two rockets and checked to see if anyone could escape alive. She was sure she didn't see Howe at the time, and she thought Howe had also died in his sleep.
However, no one expected that Huo Wei would actually survive. Not only did he survive the massive purge by Nanmen Jue, but he also successfully left the Ghost Realm and is now back here.
Upon seeing him appear, everyone except Ying Yao, who didn't recognize him, changed their expressions. Given what Nanmen Jue had done, everyone knew that his appearance here now meant no good!
"Yo, long time no see." The ghost who had escaped from the previous ghost realm gave Nanmen Jue an undisguised malicious smile. "Ex-husband."
Upon hearing this title, Nanmen Jue already understood what he was planning.
Wu Yu had been warned once before because of Nanmen Jue, and he harbored resentment towards Nanmen Jue. At this moment, he completely lacked the friendliness he had shown when he first visited. He still wore a smile, but his eyes flashed with a cold and vicious light.
“Mr. Nanmen, given that someone claims to be your wife and the mother of your child, and points out that your previous explanation of being a single parent was a lie, and that the real reason was that you abandoned your original wife after having an affair, I have brought people here to investigate the situation with you.” Wu Yu adjusted his glasses. “Please answer truthfully.”
Upon hearing this explosive plot, the three people behind him were stunned. Mo Gui's face turned extremely ugly, and he stepped forward to argue with them.
"Are you blind? Didn't you see he's a man..."
Wei Chongru pulled him back, "Don't go crazy! The rule here is that anyone can have any identity. Let Brother Nanmen handle this himself!"
Nanmen Jue, upon hearing her own absurd actions, showed no expression whatsoever. She had been watching Huo Wei the whole time, but now turned her gaze to him. "How do you plan to investigate? I say it's fake, he says it's real, who do you believe?"
That's what she said, but Nanmen Jue had already guessed how things would develop next. She sighed inwardly, it seemed that she couldn't escape this second warning no matter what.
Sure enough, Wu Yu said, "What you say doesn't count, and what he says doesn't count either, but you two have a 'daughter,' so whoever's statement your daughter agrees with, that statement will count."
Upon hearing this, both Wei Chongru and Mo Gui looked as if the sky had fallen.
Go ask Yu Wanyan who's in charge? She'd love for Nanmen Jue to die!
Things had unfolded so predictably that Nanmen Jue almost laughed. She turned her head and asked, "I'm asking you, my dear daughter, who do you agree with?"
Everyone turned around at once. Yu Wanyan stood at the doorway looking this way. The room wasn't soundproof, so she must have heard everything that had been said earlier. At this moment, she looked at Nanmen Jue, her face revealing nothing.
Wu Yu stepped forward and said warmly to Yu Wanyan, "Little girl, now that I'm here, you can tell the truth and expose the true face of this abusive father! Don't be afraid, this is the Harmony Community, with the most comprehensive laws for minors! Go ahead and speak, don't be afraid!"
His eyes gleamed with urgency. It was all Nanmen Jue's fault! If it weren't for him, how could he have received a warning for no reason? Thinking of this, his face almost contorted, and he was about to step forward and grab Yu Wanyan's shoulders, "Speak! Tell the truth!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yu Wanyan deftly sidestepped Wu Yu's outstretched hand and gave him a disgusted look.
“Nanmen Jue is not lying,” she said.
"You can leave once his true colors are revealed... Huh? What did you say?"
Not only was Wu Yu stunned, but everyone was also taken aback, including Nanmen Jue.
What did Yu Wanyan say? Nanmen Jue wasn't lying? Does this mean she's on Nanmen Jue's side?
This person, who was determined to kill Nanmen Jue and turn her into a puppet, actually helped Nanmen Jue at this crucial moment?
Nanmen Jue herself couldn't believe what she had just heard. She blinked, looked at Yu Wanyan, and repeated her words, "I said Nanmen Jue is telling the truth, that person is lying, I don't know him, okay?"
Her face showed deep impatience. If she hadn't refused to cooperate with the investigation, who knows if she would have been labeled a bad person? She wouldn't have come out at all.
"...Huh?" Wu Yu hadn't reacted yet.
Nanmen Jue gave Yu Wanyan a deep look, then turned to look at Huo Wei.
Huo Wei was unaware of the relationship between Yu Wanyan and Nanmen Jue, and probably assumed from the beginning that they were teammates. Therefore, he was the least surprised by this situation, and even gave a bright smile when he saw Nanmen Jue looking at him.
“…So, Mr. Howe lied.” After a long pause, Wu Yu reluctantly announced, “Mr. Howe, please come with me.”
Huo Wei gave Nanmen Jue a provocative look, mouthed "There's plenty of time," and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute," Nanmen Jue suddenly said.
The two people who were about to leave stopped in their tracks.
“He is indeed my ex-wife,” Nanmenjue said calmly. “Now I’ve decided to forgive him and let him stay and live with us.”
"...Huh?" Wu Yu was confused again. "But your daughter said..."
"Oh, he left right after our daughter was born, so she doesn't know him," Nanmen Jue fabricated the lie without batting an eye. "I do know him, don't you think, ex-wife?"
Huo Wei didn't say anything, but he didn't deny it either. He lowered his head, his long eyelashes drooping down, looking guilty. Wu Yu was completely confused.
"You three...are you messing with me?" He seemed to have used all his strength to avoid the urge to swear. He forced a smile and said through gritted teeth, "Then I wish you a long and happy marriage."
After saying that, he turned and left angrily.
Before the footsteps had even faded, everyone sensed something and turned around in unison. The strange boy had reappeared at the doorway.
"Hove, you've fabricated lies to frame others. This is your first warning."
He was like a high-level NPC who issued a quest, and then disappeared automatically after speaking, giving no one time to react.
After the eerie atmosphere disappeared, only a few reincarnators and one Hovi remained in the room. For a moment, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was strange.
Yu Wanyan glanced at everyone, then turned and went into the house, slamming the door shut with a standard "bang".
“Mo Gui, you should go back and study too,” Nanmen Jue said.
Mo Gui opened his mouth, then nodded, glanced warily at Huo Wei, and squeezed past him.
Wei Chongru gave a wry smile, "Minors shouldn't be home alone, I'll go keep him company."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Ying Yao did not move, but Nanmen Jue was very familiar with him and could clearly see that his body changed from tense to relaxed.
With only Howe left, he couldn't possibly have any impact on the two of them.
This guy looked calm just now, but his mind was probably racing.
Nanmen Jue slightly curled the corners of his mouth, but when he looked at Huo Wei, his expression flattened again. "What you're doing is very unwise. Once you're warned twice, the third time you'll be wiped out."
“I know,” Howe said nonchalantly.
Nanmen Jue frowned. "Then why did you tell such a lie?"
In Nanmen Jue's view, such a lie, which was so easily refuted, was tantamount to playing with one's own life.
"Why?" As if he had heard a hilarious joke, Huo Wei suddenly burst into laughter, bending over with laughter until his eyes were red. "Because you're all thugs who kill without hesitation! Because I'm too weak to avenge Tang Shi and the others! Yes, this plan is stupid, this lie is flimsy, and of course you'll band together... But what if? What if this lie really kills you? What else can I do? I want to kill you! What else can I do?"
The boy's clear voice was shrill and piercing, a mix of crying and laughing, "How could you do this? So many people... Aren't you afraid of retribution? No, I'm the one who should be punished, I led you all there! I led you, the murderer, there! I'm the sinner of Wuchun Town, it's me..."
As he spoke, the boy raised his hand in a frenzy and slapped himself without hesitation. When he tried to slap himself a second time, Nanmen Jue grabbed his wrist tightly.
Huo Wei raised her tear-filled eyes, smiling at Nanmen Jue with unbridled hatred. "Do you know how I survived? That night I went out. I wasn't in the shelter, so I survived... I hid from you, eked out a living, and actually waited until the Ghost Realm disappeared, even watching you enter this place... It was fate that let me live, fate that made me live on the burden of those lives, so I could take revenge on you! Nanmen Jue, I will definitely kill you, I will definitely..."
Before he could finish speaking, Nanmen Jue chopped at the back of his neck, knocking him unconscious.
Nanmen Jue caught his limp body and looked up at Ying Yao in silence.
Ying Yao was also looking at her. Nanmen Jue couldn't see his eyes, and she thought he was going to ask her questions or offer comfort. However, Ying Yao said, "When you chose to do this, you were prepared to face the consequences. If you still think it's the right thing to do, then I won't stop you."
Upon hearing this, the feeling that something had been tightly binding Nanmen Jue's heart suddenly eased, allowing her to catch her breath.
She smiled, and a hint of red appeared at the corners of her eyes.
She carried Huo Wei to the sofa, her voice a little hoarse, "Keep an eye on him, I'm going to talk to Yu Wanyan."
Nanmen Jue didn't see it. Ying Yao's hand moved almost imperceptibly, as if he wanted to touch the corner of her eye, but he suppressed it and just nodded to reassure her.
With him watching over her, Nanmen Jue naturally had nothing to worry about. She glanced at Huo Wei's tear-streaked face, then turned and pushed open Yu Wanyan's door.
Yu Wanyan sat at the table with an open book in front of her. The room was dark, with no lights on. She stared intently at the book, a scene more eerie than anything else.
Nanmen Jue pulled up a chair and sat down next to her. She suddenly spoke up: "Disturbing my studies might get you a warning."
“I call this tutoring,” Nanmenjue said.
Yu Wanyan looked up at her, her expression suddenly froze.
Her face was pale, with a reddish tinge at the corners of her eyes. The paleness made her even more radiant, and the radiance made her even more captivating. At this moment, Nanmen Jue exuded an indescribable aura than she usually did, despite her seemingly invincible appearance.
Why are you helping me?
"you're so beautiful."
They both spoke at the same time, then fell silent at the same time.
