Yu Qirong had originally made all preparations for the battle, but in the end, the Leng family was truly peaceful.
The red wedding characters posted everywhere and the red lanterns hanging high diluted the feeling of dead silence and added a bit of festive atmosphere.
The servants of the Leng family came in and out, cleaning the room where Yu Qirong was going to live. They also replaced the red quilt and red candles, making it look like a new house.
"Do we need to prepare so early?" Yu Qirong sat on a wooden chair, his slender white fingers tightly grasping the red wine cup on the table. He glanced at the butler Leng who was supervising next to him, "When is the agreed wedding date?"
Ordinary people would probably show some fear when being looked at by eyes of different colors, but Butler Leng treated him like an ordinary person and said respectfully, "The wedding date can only be announced after the Taoist priest has matched the horoscopes, but the master wants it to be as soon as possible."
Yu Qirong himself doesn't know his own destiny.
It was probably the Rong family that provided Rong Qi's identity information.
"Until the horoscopes are matched, please don't leave the Leng family. If you get bored, you can ask the servants to find you some fun things to do." Seeing that the arrangements for today were almost complete, Butler Leng waved to call everyone else away, and then he seemed to remember something and continued, "Your servant has been arranged by the Leng family to stay in the restaurant in Yeyun Town. Don't worry too much about him... This is the custom of our Leng family, please understand."
It sounds like a threat.
Yu Qirong moved her fingertips, she didn't expect her performance to be so obvious.
It was too late that night when I entered the Leng family, and I went to bed without making any preparations. I haven't seen A Fei since I woke up in the morning. Even the people serving him have been replaced.
If the copy is almost over and I still can't find A Fei, it will be difficult to take him back with me.
Steward Leng: "In order to ensure the smooth progress of the wedding, the Taoist priest specially asked his disciple Taoist Xie to help. If you have any requests, you can also tell this Taoist Xie."
Hearing this familiar surname, Yu Qirong's heart moved. He looked up and saw Xie Yi, wearing a yellow Taoist robe, stepping over the threshold and walking in. He bowed in a formal manner and said, "Hello, Young Master Rong."
Yu Qirong raised his chin and responded softly: "Yeah."
"The Leng family still has other places that need to be decorated, so I won't disturb Young Master Rong's rest." Butler Leng held the door handle with both hands and reminded him again before closing the door: "Young Master Rong is not very familiar with the Leng family, so it's best not to run around."
After making sure that everyone outside had left and there was no one eavesdropping, Xie Yi closed the window that he had opened to peek, and glanced at Yu Qirong who was sitting at the table, "Why are you so calm?"
Yu Qirong propped up his chin with one hand and put the index finger of his other hand into the wine cup, making it circle on the table. His wine-red eyes fell on Xie Yi's Taoist robe and he asked lazily, "Is there anything I should worry about?"
Xie Yi: "I peeked into my master's things and found out that you are not going to marry Leng Yunchao, but their eldest young master Leng Yunxing who has been dead for more than two years!"
Yu Qirong: "Oh."
Anyway, I almost guessed it.
Seeing him so calm, Xie Yi became anxious. He took the wine cup from Yu Qirong's hand and said to himself, "Why is it that other people's C-level copies are not so exciting? Could it be that... they found out our purpose and deliberately want us to die here?"
"Who discovered... the system you were talking about?" After hearing the words of thanks, Yu Qirong became interested and asked.
"Shh!" Before Yu Qirong finished speaking, Xie Yi raised his index finger, his eyes widened, put down the wine cup, and raised his hand to cover Yu Qirong's mouth, "Don't say anything."
Yu Qirong looked at the hand that was about to fall on his lips and mercilessly opened it, "The system can't monitor our conversations, otherwise my identity would have been exposed long ago."
"The system can't reach out so far, but it still has a group of obedient dogs." Xie Yi didn't seem to mind when his hand was opened. He rubbed his red arm against his Taoist robe and continued, "The more difficult one should be the internal traitor."
"Oh," Yu Qirong nodded in sudden realization after hearing the word "dog," "Are you talking about Tang Xingfei?"
Hearing this name, Xie Yi seemed to be allergic and felt uncomfortable all over. "Can you please not mention him? We in Chenxing are quite disgusted by him... But he is an obvious traitor, and there are also those who have been secretly bought by the system."
Yu Qirong didn't care about their attitude towards Tang Xingfei. He had his own way of judging people. "Don't talk about these useless things. Let's talk about how they work for the system first."
Seeing that Yu Qirong was interested in this topic, Xie Yi didn't intend to hide it. He moved a stool to have a long talk with Yu Qirong, "They are equivalent to the ears and eyes of the system. They will regularly transmit what they see and hear to the system... We have taken several actions in Shenxing because the system knew about this, so Tang Xingfei dealt with our people."
"Ah," Yu Qirong seemed to remember something and calmly announced to Xie Yi, "I have seen Tang Xingfei in this book."
"?" Xie Yi's eyes widened in disbelief. As soon as his butt touched the stool, he bounced up as if there was a spring installed on it. "Has the system known about this operation?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head frantically, denying his previous guess: "It's impossible. We are just doing a C-level copy. Why would the system be so anxious to deal with us? Unless..."
"Unless the method you are thinking of is really feasible." Yu Qirong dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote three twisted characters on the table - Tang Xingfei, and continued: "Tang Xingfei is the Leng Yunxing I want to marry."
"Escape the marriage." After hearing what Yu Qirong said, Xie Yi suddenly grabbed Yu Qirong's wrist while she was writing, and dragged a long tail behind the word "Fei". "Whenever Tang Xingfei makes a move, he will never fail."
Xie Yi: "You are getting married in the afterlife. If the date is set later, it will be fine. But if it is earlier, before we complete our mission, we will probably die at the hands of Tang Xingfei."
Xie Yi felt a little pain from the pulling, Yu Qirong frowned, pulled back his arm, and massaged it carefully with his other hand.
Not hearing Yu Qirong's response, Xie Yi seemed a little anxious: "... You don't want to leave, do you? In fact, my primary purpose this time is to see if the guess about the time core is correct. Now it seems to be true. There is no need for us to continue wasting time here. Not to mention your identity..."
"Where are we going?" Yu Qirong asked back.
"Anywhere will do. There are still four days until the end of the mission. Let's just find a place to hide!" Xie Yi suggested.
"Don't you want to find that time core anymore?" Yu Qirong raised his eyebrows, with a somewhat intriguing expression on his face.
Xie Yi hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "But Tang Xingfei is in this book."
"You, can't die." Yu Qirong tapped his chest in gratitude, then tapped his own, "I, can't die either."
Xie Yi didn't know where his confidence came from, but seeing that Yu Qirong looked like he was planning something, he subconsciously became alert and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about whether to ask you to write an IOU." Yu Qirong said without hesitation.
"?" Xie Yi didn't know what he owed.
Yu Qirong: "How about this, if Tang Xingfei wants to attack you, I save you and you give me... one million points?"
Xie Yi was shocked: "So many! I don't have any!"
"So poor." Yu Qirong frowned, "Then half price, 500,000, after tax."
"..." Xie Yi could hear his disdain, and once again experienced Yu Qirong's true nature as a profiteer, "Where do you get the confidence to escape from Tang Xingfei's hands?"
Yu Qirong raised his hand and picked up the wine cup again, holding it tightly, his expression unchanged, and without making any sound, but a layer of red powder gradually fell on the table.
Xie Yi: “…” He forgot that he was an NPC that even the system had to spend a huge amount of money to offer a bounty for, not a human.
If no one can escape Tang Xingfei's "law enforcement", then probably the only one who can escape is Yu Qirong, who is not a human.
After a long silence, Xie Yi took the initiative to find a pen and paper and started writing an IOU.
After the IOU was written, Xie Yi kept the thin piece of paper close to his body. Although it was something that he needed to accumulate points for, he felt more at ease after having it.
He sat down, and even wanted to continue discussing with Yu Qirong: "Do you have any ideas about the time core?"
Yu Qirong moved his position, away from the wine cup that had turned into powder, and said casually: "Maybe a little, but we need to see it with our own eyes."
"Really?" Xie Yi's heart was agitated. He originally just wanted to live, but now he was greedy and wanted to get more. "Then when are we going to get it?"
"No." Yu Qirong refused.
gratitude:"?"
He asked in confusion: "Why?"
"What will happen here after you take away the time core?" Yu Qirong asked.
The answer is clear, this place will probably collapse as well. And no one knows what will happen to the copy that has lost the time core. Collapse is not a good word, and the greater possibility is that everything will be annihilated.
"..." Xie Yi stammered twice, not quite convinced, "But you crashed two copies, didn't you..."
Xie Yi still doesn't know how Yu Qirong caused the copy to crash, but it is obvious that he was doing the same thing as them.
Yu Qirong's solution was to transfer all the NPCs in the entire copy, but this C-level copy was so large that it was beyond his imagination. He had no way of taking everyone away, and naturally he did not want to destroy the original ecology here.
"If I find out, I will take you to see it, and you can build your own time core based on it." Yu Qirong compromised and threatened sternly: "But don't even think about moving, otherwise our agreement will be invalid immediately."
The best thing about gratitude is knowing when to stop.
Thinking of the rumors about Tang Xingfei, he immediately agreed, "Then what else do you need me to do next?"
Yu Qirong pondered for a moment, and there were indeed a few things he needed to do.
This is the fourth day staying at the Leng family. It is said that the Taoist priest who thanked Yi has already matched the horoscopes and also calculated the auspicious time for the wedding. It is exactly the day when Yu Qirong's mission will be completed, which is tomorrow.
Yu Qirong allowed the servants of the Leng family to try on new clothes for him for his wedding. The bright red color did not make Yu Qirong look gaudy, but gave him a sense of loneliness and coldness, which made his already fair skin look even colder.
The Leng family spent a huge amount of money on this marriage, including not only new clothes for the woman, but even a phoenix crown and veil.
At this time, he was no longer avoiding Yu Qirong and placed it on the table carelessly.
Yu Qirong glanced at the dazzling ornaments on the table. Not only did she not feel any resistance, she was also a little curious.
I have long been curious about the wedding attire of the ancients that I learned about in Chinese class. This time I experienced it myself and found that the style was indeed strict and complicated. Even the little golden phoenix on it was carved to be lifelike.
Butler Leng was very satisfied with Yu Qirong's understanding of the situation. He nodded, with a hint of genuine joy in his tone: "I will send someone to pick up your servant tomorrow. It's more comfortable to have your own people."
Yu Qirong glanced at him and felt that his words implied that he wanted A Fei to serve him for the last time.
But it’s a good thing. At least I can see A Fei again and take him with me.
But in this case, some things need to be done in advance.
"Master Xie also brought something, which is also necessary before the wedding." Butler Leng made way, Xie Yi walked over, and hesitantly took out a piece of red rope from his sleeve.
Yu Qirong took a look, his expression did not change, but his eyes became slightly stern.
There was visible black mist on the red rope, and it was obvious that it was not a good thing.
Butler Leng had no intention of leaving. Instead, he stood aside, as if he would not leave without Yu Qirong.
In the stagnant air, Yu Qirong paused for only a second before stretching out his arm in the direction of gratitude.
The bright red satin slid down, revealing an arm as white as cream.
Xie Yi swallowed his saliva, hesitantly tied the red rope around Yu Qirong's arm, and watched his performance anxiously.
He secretly read a lot of things from his master and knew that this thing was very sinister and would do no good to people anyway. He wondered if it would do any harm to an NPC like Yu Qirong.
But Yu Qirong couldn't tell anything at least from the surface. He even covered himself with his sleeves easily, let them hang down naturally, and turned to look at Butler Leng.
"Young Master Rong will be married to our Leng family tomorrow. In any case, he can be considered a member of our Leng family. Today, you can walk around the Leng family under the protection of Master Xie." Seeing that Yu Qirong was submissive and obedient, Butler Leng was somewhat happy and showed a rare sincere smile.
After saying this, he waved and walked out.
Yu Qirong's originally normal complexion turned pale in an instant, and his pointed chin looked even more pitiful. He slightly moved his fingers that were wrapped with red ropes, and immediately felt a piercing pain.
"Are you okay?" Xie Yi saw Yu Qirong's face change drastically, and he quickly closed the door, squatted down and pulled Yu Qirong's sleeve, "I stole a pair of scissors and will help you untie it right away."
Yu Qirong stepped back and the cold sweat on his face slid down his almost perfect face. He said calmly: "No, I can still be useful."
