When Fang Wei's consciousness returned to Xuanling Pavilion from the Abyss of Disaster, four hours had passed since he left. Due to the considerable effort he had expended, Fang Wei was still a little tired when he returned. His consciousness sank into Hua Shi's soul, and he felt that the other party's soul power was like the sun, emitting endless warmth, which actually made him feel as if he had recovered a little.
He didn't say anything, and noticed that Hua Shi seemed to be walking outside at this time, passing by the courtyard he used to clean, and heading towards Lingge.
Calculating the time, Hua Shi should have finished practicing and lay down in his room tired by this time. But today he refused to stay in the room. What was he going to do?
Fang Wei was puzzled and was about to ask, but the person who was walking forward suddenly stopped, blinked at the air, and asked tentatively in his mind: "System?"
Fang Wei knew that Hua Shi must have called him many times after he left, knowing that he was not around for the time being. However, he did not expect that he had just returned and had not even had time to speak, but Hua Shi could actually sense his presence.
He asked, "Did you know I was there?"
Hua Shi's eyes suddenly lit up: "You're really back!"
Fang Wei was still curious: "How did you know I was here?"
Because of Fang Wei's reappearance, Hua Shi is in a good mood now. He raised the corners of his lips and said with some pride: "I don't know why, but I suddenly seem to be able to sense your presence. Maybe I have a special feeling for you?"
Fang Wei originally thought it was strange, but after hearing Hua Shi's random words, she immediately thought that he just happened to see it.
Hua Shi was still mumbling: "You scared me to death just now. I called you for hours but you ignored me. This time it took much longer than before. I thought..."
Fang Wei listened to him halfway through his words and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Hua Shi lowered his voice, a little lacking in confidence: "I thought you were going to abandon me."
Hua Shi lacked confidence because he knew that Liu Qishuang had never promised to stay by his side forever, so his current worry was just wishful thinking. But when Liu Qishuang disappeared just now, his worry and fear were real.
He didn't know how to express these emotions to Liu Qishuang, nor did he want to turn his concern into a bondage, so he said this for only a moment before he immediately added: "Just now I almost went to Master and the others to find a solution. No matter what, I'm glad you're okay."
He did not ask Fang Wei why she had disappeared for a while. He just quickly recovered his composure and said with a smile, "Since everything is fine, let's go back." He stretched his arms and yawned, "I'm so tired after practicing all day."
Fang Wei looked at Hua Shi's actions and was hesitant to speak. In the end, he did not tell him the reason why he left. After all, no one could help him now, and telling him would only cause more trouble for others.
Hua Shi had hurriedly run out of the room earlier, and now turned back slowly. He had originally planned to rest early, but an accident happened accidentally on the way.
On the way, he was spotted by Bai Heng who had just returned from fishing. Bai Heng picked him up and went together with him to find Wen Zhong to grill fish.
Ever since Wen Zhong cooked last time, Hua Shi, who had seen Wen Zhong's cooking skills, liked this senior even more. He would go there on time every day to eat. Now, when he heard Bai Heng say that he wanted to grill fish, the person who was just saying that he was tired immediately became energetic and even took the initiative to push Bai Heng to go to Wen Zhong.
Wen Zhong, who had returned to normal and was no longer possessed by the devil, was in an overly good mood. When he saw Hua Shi and Bai Heng coming over with fish, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and started to get busy.
While Wen Zhong was grilling fish, Bai Heng held the jar of wine and drank while watching Wen Zhong's movements, her eyes lingering inadvertently on Wen Zhong's sweaty forehead and neck, and the half of his strong forearm that was exposed.
Hua Shi squatted beside Wen Zhong, doing his duty as a good helper, constantly helping to add fire and pass materials. However, while working, he never stopped talking.
"Senior Wen Zhong, can you put more of this?"
"What is that? It smells so good! Can you put a little more?"
"Oh, and here's this! You can't take this!"
"Senior, can you make two more dishes with less spicy ingredients? It would be best if the taste is lighter. Oh, and..."
As he was talking, the good-tempered Wen Zhong hadn't gotten annoyed yet, but Bai Heng interrupted him and asked, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Hua Shi also realized that he seemed to have disturbed Wen Zhong. He scratched his head and apologized quickly, then explained in a low voice: "I want to bring two skewers of grilled fish to the white cat when I can enter the space. I heard that cats like to eat fish."
Fang Wei, who was listening to their conversation: "..."
Before he could express his opinion on the matter of cats eating fish, Bai Heng on the opposite side had already stood up and said, "Then get a few more. If these are not enough, I will go catch some more."
Wen Zhong had already started grilling fish for Mao. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "That's enough. No need to go any further. There's enough food here for several people."
Fang Wei: “…”
He looked at Hua Shi who was eagerly waiting for the grilled fish, and after a while he couldn't help but whispered: "I'm not a real cat."
He just happened to be in the form of a cat.
Hua Shi squatted beside Wen Zhong, feeling warm under the light of the grilled fish. He smiled and replied in his mind, "I know, but I want to give you all the good things."
Wen Zhong was grilling fish here, and soon the fragrance attracted other people. Wen Zhong's identity is still a wanted demon in Hanxi Sect, so his affairs in Xuanling Pavilion are naturally still a secret. Xuan Shuzhi specially left the innermost courtyard of Xuanling Pavilion to Wen Zhong, and ordered all other disciples not to get close, so although many disciples smelled the smell now, no one dared to break in without permission.
The people who were able to come in were naturally Xuan Shuzhi, Yi Zhan, Jiang Tingwan and others.
These people were not polite to Wen Zhong at all. After they came, Yi Zhan blatantly snatched away the two skewers of grilled fish that Wen Zhong had just grilled, ate one himself and passed one to Xuan Shuzhi. The two of them ate, one boldly and the other politely. There was also Jiang Tingwan who looked at Wen Zhong eagerly and soon took a skewer from him.
However, the two skewers that Wen Zhong had grilled for Fang Wei were still there. After everyone knew who they were for, they all understood each other very well. Even when they were fighting over the remaining skewers, no one touched those two skewers.
The courtyard suddenly became lively. Hua Shi looked at Yi Zhan and Bai Heng who were glaring at each other and insulting each other, and realized that the seniors who usually looked steady actually had such a side.
He sat nearby, eating and watching the fun, and said to Fang Wei in his mind, "The seniors look so childish now."
Fang Wei responded casually, thinking that compared to them, Hua Shi seemed a little more childish.
However, Hua Shi had no such awareness at all. He looked at the movements of the seniors over there, and then said mysteriously to them: "I have already seen it."
Fang Wei asked, "What?"
Hua Shi relied on the fact that others couldn't hear his thoughts, so he said without any hesitation: "I can see the relationship between Senior Bai Heng and Senior Wen Zhong."
He spoke in a mysterious way, as if he had made some remarkable discovery. After Fang Wei finished listening to him, she couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Well, what is their relationship?"
Hua Shi said, "Senior Bai Heng comes to Senior Wen Zhong every day. At first, I thought she just came to practice sword skills with Senior Wen Zhong, but now it seems that is not the case at all. Apart from the first two days when she practiced sword skills with Senior Wen Zhong, she was just chatting, drinking and eating at other times. Occasionally, she would take Senior Wen Zhong out to play in disguise." As he said this, he looked at Wen Zhong, who had finished grilling and was pouring wine for Bai Heng. "And Senior Wen Zhong is the same. Although he usually looks friendly to everyone, his eyes are different only when he faces Senior Bai Heng. He is gentler than to anyone else. And it was the same when he was possessed by the devil. When he was possessed by the devil, he was not afraid of anyone, even my master. No one could calm him down. He would only calm down in front of Senior Bai Heng."
Of course, besides Bai Heng there is also Fang Wei, but Hua Shi thinks that these are completely different reasons.
Fang Wei listened to Hua Shi's words and asked with a smile: "So?"
Hua Shi said confidently: "So they are actually a couple, right?"
Fang Wei did not hide it: "Yes."
Hua Shi was stunned: "You knew it a long time ago?"
Fang Wei said: "Everyone knows, except these two."
Hua Shi finally understood. He looked at Wen Zhong and Bai Heng, who were behaving intimately, and couldn't help but blurt out, "I thought they had been together for a long time, but they haven't said it out loud yet?"
I have to say these two are really good at holding back.
On the other hand, Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan were getting close to each other without caring about the presence of others.
Hua Shi looked at this scene and couldn't help but say, "So it turns out that there are only couples here, so Senior Jiang is alone, right?"
He deliberately excluded himself by saying this.
He said this deliberately because he wanted to see Liu Qishuang's reaction. However, after waiting for a long time, Liu Qishuang neither confirmed nor denied it. He didn't know whether she didn't want to say more to him or tacitly agreed with his words.
Hua Shi originally had many thoughts in mind, but he gradually became a little flustered when he didn't hear a response. He coughed lightly to break the silence, and then asked softly: "Although my master is calm, he likes Senior Yi Zhan who is impulsive and irritable. Senior Wen Zhong is gentle and steady, but he likes Senior Bai Heng who seems difficult to get along with. Does this kind of thing happen suddenly without your will? What if you can choose? What kind of person would you like?"
When he finished speaking, he couldn't help but clench his fingers with his folded hands, trying to suppress the anxiety in his heart.
Fang Wei could naturally understand what Hua Shi meant. He whispered, "You shouldn't ask me this question."
He is now just a system in front of Hua Shi, and the system cannot answer such questions.
Hua Shi suddenly felt a little regretful. The last time Fang Wei wanted to explain his identity, Hua Shi interrupted his explanation.
Hua Shi was unwilling to let go of this opportunity and still took the initiative to ask: "If you were not a system, what kind of person would you like? What do you think..."
What do you think of... me?
Hua Shi said this in his heart.
