"Hua Shi."
Just as Hua Shi was holding the cat and muttering to himself, Fang Wei suddenly called out his name.
Ever since he first met Hua Shi and acted as his system, Fang Wei had never called him by his name directly, but usually used "host" instead. That was because he wanted to disguise his identity. However, now that he called out Hua Shi's name directly, Hua Shi was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment.
He blinked and looked at the white cat in front of him, and it took him a while to realize that the voice came from Liu Qishuang.
Why did Liu Qishuang suddenly call out his name? Did he not want to use the identity of the system anymore? Then what did he want to say by speaking in such a formal voice?
Could it be that... he doesn't want to be with him anymore, so he no longer treats this system as a showdown with him?
Then can he still stay with Liu Qishuang in the future?
He hasn't even had time to gain the other person's favor and make her like him!
Fang Wei had no idea that in just this short moment, Hua Shi had thought of so many things just because of his address. He just felt that since everything had been guessed and things had progressed to this point, he had nothing to hide, so he simply said it out loud. He said, "If I say I..."
Before he finished his words, Hua Shi suddenly hugged the white cat and screamed "Ah", forcibly stopping Fang Wei's voice.
Fang Wei was almost suffocated by his sudden movement, and quickly struggled in his arms, pushing him with her claws to get out of his arms.
Hua Shi refused to let anyone leave, pretending he hadn't noticed, and quickly changed the subject, "It suddenly occurred to me that our Senior Wen Zhong's demonic symptoms have improved a lot. I don't think I've seen him become so fierce recently!"
Fang Wei thought it was funny, but ignored him and continued, "I want to tell you..."
"No!" Hua Shi simply shrank into the corner, curled up into a ball, closed his eyes and said, "I don't want to listen!"
Fang Wei: “…”
Although he didn't know what the other party was thinking, he was interrupted by Hua Shi several times when he tried to speak, and in the end, he couldn't say anything more. He could only get out of Hua Shi's arms with difficulty, sighed and said, "Don't cover it, I won't say anything."
Hua Shi loosened his grip a little, and seeing that the white cat was standing on his knees, it seemed that he really had no intention of continuing to talk. He then blinked and asked carefully, "Are you angry?"
He had acted impulsively just now, and now he finally began to feel guilty and regretful.
But Fang Wei was not really angry. There was no reason for him to be angry over such a small matter. He said jokingly, "Are you afraid that I will be angry and you won't listen to me?"
Hua Shi felt even more guilty. His eyes wandered around and he said in a weak voice, "I'm just a little nervous and not ready yet."
Fang Wei said: "Then I'll wait for you to be ready."
Hua Shi let out a soft "oh", knowing that the other party was going to continue as before.
He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately made an equation in his mind. As long as Liu Qishuang didn't reveal his identity, he would always be his system. As long as he was a system, he would continue to stay with him and would not go anywhere.
As long as he stays with me...
Hua Shi scratched his cheek, forcing down the corners of his lips that were about to curl up. He quickly forced himself to get his messy thoughts back, otherwise he felt that if he continued to think about it, he and Liu Qishuang would probably get married.
He quickly stood up and tidied up the clothes that were soiled during the training just now, then carefully lifted up the white cat in front of him, and then said: "It's almost time, let's go eat something first. I wonder if the other seniors have finished their conversation."
Fang Wei said: "It should be over."
Hua Shi continued his words: "Then I can go find Senior Wen Zhong..."
Fang Wei asked curiously, "Do you like Wen Zhong very much?"
Hua Shi became alert almost immediately, and shouted reflexively: "I don't like Senior Wen Zhong! I only like Liu Qishuang!"
Because he reacted so quickly and his voice was so loud, even Fang Wei couldn't help but be stunned and just looked at him in silence.
Hua Shi: “…”
He calmed down and realized that he had overreacted, so he made a bitter face and quickly explained: "What I mean is, it's not that kind of love, the real love. I only like Liu Qishuang."
This didn't seem to be much of an explanation, because Fang Wei hadn't misunderstood anything in the first place.
Fang Wei had actually gotten used to Hua Shi confessing his love to him every other day. He replied with a smile, "I know."
Hua Shi was stunned: "Ah?"
His cheeks felt slightly hot because of Fang Wei's words. Was this Liu Qishuang's response to him?
However, Fang Wei did not repeat this, but only asked in a low voice: "I said Wen Zhong, you seem to like getting along with Wen Zhong more than others?"
Hua Shi didn't want to let go of the topic, but unfortunately Liu Qishuang didn't seem to want to repeat it, so he could only nod and answer honestly: "Yes, because as long as you are not possessed by the devil, Senior Wen Zhong seems very reliable. He is a senior who is particularly good at taking care of people, and he is not as stern as Senior Bai Heng."
He felt it was inappropriate to say this, and quickly added: "Of course I'm not saying that Senior Bai Heng is too fierce when he has a stern face. I just think that sometimes I feel a little scared."
Fang Wei nodded softly, and after thinking about it, she realized that it was indeed the case. Not only Hua Shi, but all the other guardians in Fengyu Palace a thousand years ago were indeed closer to Wen Zhong.
Hua Shi continued, "And Senior Wen Zhong is also a very good cook. I still remember the dishes he cooked last time."
Fang Wei asked, "Are you not afraid of them now?"
Hua Shi was still chattering to Fang Wei about food. Hearing this, he suddenly stopped, scratched his head and said, "Actually, I think there might be some misunderstanding about what happened back then. I don't think Senior Bai Heng is the kind of person who would kill innocent people."
Fang Wei listened to Hua Shi's words in silence. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Hua Shi thought for a moment and then continued, "There are other seniors who don't seem to be as bloodthirsty as the rumors I heard at the time."
Seeing that Liu Qishuang did not respond, Hua Shi kept guessing what the other party might be thinking. In fact, he had already realized that the relationship between Liu Qishuang and the evil people seemed to be a little different from the rumors. As the former master of the spiritual way, Liu Qishuang maintained close contact with them, which made him feel strange. But when he thought of the hidden undercover identities of several predecessors in the spiritual way, it seemed normal again.
However, thinking of the man who almost killed Liu Qishuang, Hua Shi couldn't help but frown: "But the evil master Fang Wei is definitely not a good person."
Fang Wei: “…”
While the two were talking, Xuan Shuzhi had already come out from the hall they were in before. Hua Shi blinked at Xuan Shuzhi at the door, and habitually leaned over to look behind him.
Xuan Shuzhi raised his eyebrows and said amusedly: "What are you looking at?"
Hua Shi responded: "Is Senior Yi Zhan not here?"
Xuan Shuzhi: “Hmm?”
Hua Shi opened his eyes and replied innocently, "Because Master is always accompanied by Senior Yi Zhan, I always feel like something is missing when Senior Yi Zhan is not here today."
Xuan Shuzhi pretended to be angry and patted Hua Shi on the head: "You are becoming more and more disrespectful now."
Hua Shi was not afraid of Xuan Shuzhi at all now. Seeing that the other party wanted to scold him again, he immediately held the white cat and pushed it in front of Xuan Shuzhi.
Xuan Shuzhi and Fang Wei looked at each other, until Fang Wei shook her head helplessly. Xuan Shuzhi said to Hua Shi with a mixture of anger and laughter: "You're looking for help now?"
Hua Shi's eyes became more and more innocent, and he kept shaking his head while holding the white cat.
After enough of the fuss, Xuan Shuzhi put down his hands and said seriously, "Alright, I just came to see your progress in training. It's rare that Lu Yao is here. Wen Zhong said he would cook for him, so he has gone to work. You've almost finished your training, so take a rest first and go out for something to eat."
This hit the spot that Hua Shi wanted. Hearing that there was food, he was very happy and ran out immediately: "I'll go help!"
His figure disappeared quickly, because he was going to help, so naturally he didn't bring the white cat with him.
So Fang Wei and Xuan Shuzhi were the only ones left in the room, staring at each other in silence. Xuan Shuzhi looked in the direction where Hua Shi disappeared and whispered, "Evil Master, you have spoiled this kid too much, haven't you?"
Fang Wei said calmly: "Just let him do as he pleases."
After all, he was the one who deceived first and had to rely on Hua Shi for rescue, so he never treated himself as a teacher in front of Hua Shi and always took special care of him in many places.
Xuan Shuzhi stroked the fan in his hand and said thoughtfully: "But without setbacks, it is difficult to achieve great things."
Fang Wei did not respond, because at this time Hua Shi hurried back for some reason. He returned to the room and picked up the fallen Lingsha Sword, then raised his head and said to Xuan Shuzhi: "Master, Sect Master Yi Zhan is waiting for you outside. Did you quarrel with him again?"
Xuan Shuzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry about the elders' affairs."
Hua Shi said: "I'm almost twenty years old."
Xuan Shuzhi said coldly: "I am more than a thousand years old."
Hua Shi realized that when it came to the issue of age, he probably wasn't even a fraction of anyone else in this space, so he quickly stopped the topic, smiled, turned around and asked Fang Wei: "Do you want to go to the kitchen? I think I'll perform better if you watch me from the side."
Although she knew that Hua Shi didn't need to perform at all and that he could only pass the plates while Wen Zhong was busy, Fang Wei still accepted Hua Shi's invitation, skillfully jumped onto his hands, and then climbed onto his shoulders.
Hua Shi looked at the white cat sitting on his shoulder, turned around and left the house with satisfaction.
That night, everyone had dinner in Yunxiu Bi's space. Wen Zhong prepared a table full of delicious dishes and placed them by the lake outside Yunxiu Bi's palace. Everyone drank under the moonlight. Xuan Shuzhi didn't like drinking, and he threw away his wine glass after a while. He followed Yi Zhan and whispered something to him.
Bai Heng and Wen Zhong forced the unconscious Jiang Tingwan to drink. After getting Jiang Tingwan half drunk, Wen Zhong took out a flute from somewhere, got in front of Jiang Tingwan and asked him to play it. However, Jiang Tingwan had no idea what the flute was used for. He took the flute and threw it into the lake. Bai Heng immediately stood up to retrieve it, but was stopped by Wen Zhong. In the end, Wen Zhong took off his coat and went into the water to retrieve the flute.
On the other side, Lu Yao and Hua Shi were sitting at the table, talking to the white cat. Lu Yao seemed determined to compete with Hua Shi for Fang Wei's attention, and neither of them was willing to give in. As long as Fang Wei gave one of them a look, the other would immediately try to attract attention.
In the end, Hua Shi finally took advantage of the time when Lu Yao was forced to drink by Bai Heng and finally managed to hide in a corner with the white cat, where he had some peace and quiet for a while.
Then he turned around and looked at Xuan Shuzhi and others who were laughing or drunk by the lake, and suddenly remembered the scroll he had seen on the seventh floor of Lingge before.
