"Let me remind you that it's best not to block my way." Bei Minzhu said in an imperative tone.
Su Yao only raised her eyelashes lightly: "Don't interfere with each other."
Seeing her so indifferent and arrogant, completely disregarding her mermaid royal family, Bei Minzhu's eyes flashed coldly: "I and Dugu Jiu are already engaged, I hope you keep your distance from Dugu Jiu. I don't object to him having friends of the opposite sex, but if he has any inappropriate thoughts, I will never let him go."
Before Su Ziyu could respond, Zhu Yan was the first to retort, "Bei Minzhu, this is not your Water Tribe Palace. Don't act so arrogant. It makes you look ridiculous."
Bai Ze leaned against the wall not far away, not even glancing at the Fourth Princess. His expression was indifferent. "When the Master was in the Qi Temple, even if the Mermaid Queen requested to see the Master, she still had to wait to be summoned. Who do you think you are?"
"Oh, no matter how much I talk about it, it's all from my past life... Today, Su Yao is just a Chinese medicine practitioner in Xiaoyao City. He is no longer the one in the Qi Temple..."
"The Fourth Princess is right. Now I am just Director Su of Su Yao's Chinese Medicine Clinic."
Su Yao responded, contrary to his usual behavior. Bai Ze and Zhu Yan immediately understood their master's intention and said nothing more.
Deliberately distancing himself from Su Yao in the previous life meant that he did not need to fulfill the promise made in the previous life.
Especially the agreement with Bei Lanye...the blood marriage contract.
Bei Minzhu, who was originally a little proud, quickly reacted and immediately tried to make amends to avoid causing a big disaster.
Never offend the third brother!
She pretended to be calm and said meaningfully, "By the way... Third Brother misses you very much."
Su Ziyu immediately felt the air suddenly turn cold.
His eyes turned and he saw Liu Yuting appear in the room.
Su Yao still looked calm, as if the words 'I miss you very much' had nothing to do with her.
"He has come to the human world too?" Her voice was indifferent.
"I didn't say anything." Bei Minzhu said with a half-smile: "You can guess for yourself."
"Leave."
She waved her sleeves, the beads jingled, and the water guards followed like the receding tide, making the corridor seem a little crowded in an instant.
As she passed by Su Yao, the fragrance was overwhelming.
But at this moment, Bai Ze suddenly spoke up: "Using water monkeys to scare away other guests and free up rooms is a tactic that is uniquely domineering and tyrannical of the 'nobles'."
Bei Minzhu paused, turned around and smiled: "Do you have evidence?"
His eyes were calm: "No evidence is needed, you know it in your heart."
Her eyes flashed, but she said nothing more and turned away.
After they walked away, Su Ziyu muttered softly, "Sister, she deliberately came to live with you in the B&B. Is she trying to provoke you?"
Su Yao raised her eyes slightly: "She is testing whether I will become her enemy."
"So what are you going to do?"
Purple eyes were deep: "Let's see how she acts next."
…
Night falls quietly, and the entire ancient city is shrouded in the shadow of primitive mountains and forests. The blue bricks and gray tiles seem to be whispering, and the forest breeze is mixed with moisture and the breath of time.
The B&B is located in a corner surrounded by mountains. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is an endless forest. The forest is surging with thousand-year-old legends: it is said that there is an ancient tomb and treasure hidden under this mountain forest; it is said that the lost artifact of the fairy world is somewhere in the forest.
"You don't know, do you? Let me tell you, there's actually a spiritual vein beneath this city. Originally, it was an ancient city of hidden monks. Later, after several wars, it was abandoned."
B&B owner Ke Chunliang was holding a cup of hot tea, half leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, talking excitedly.
Su Ziyu held onto the teacup and asked with a smile, "Boss, how many times have you said this?"
Ke Chunliang chuckled and pointed out the French window. "There's a rumor that a great demon hides in that primeval forest over there, sealed away in a secret realm. And there's even more outrageous rumors... Some say the elves' paradise lies deep in the mountains."
The two young men at the table next to them looked up. As Zhou Lingyu and Zhou Qilin from Bureau 79, they would only curb such rumors and not let them spread.
Zhou Qilin jokingly asked, "Boss, are you talking about a strange novel?"
Ke Chunliang laughed: "Well, tourists love to hear this anyway!"
As they were talking excitedly, a pale-faced female employee ran in, leaned close to Ke Chunliang's ear, and whispered hurriedly, "Boss, something bad has happened! Something's happened to Xiaotian..."
Ke Chunliang froze, nearly dropping his teacup. "What?!"
"She went to the woods to pick mushrooms... and she didn't come back... We found her... under an old fir tree."
"Dead?" His face turned pale.
"Hmm...his face...is scary..."
Su Ziyu was shocked, remembering the female employee named Xiaotian who had brought him coffee yesterday and died today!
He immediately stood up: "Boss, my sister is a doctor, maybe she can help."
Ke Chunliang murmured and shook his head: "...He's dead... Doctors are useless."
"She's also a medical examiner."
He suddenly looked at Su Ziyu, his eyes filled with surprise and a hint of anxiety: "Really? Your sister... is really good at seeing?"
"able."
Su Ziyu nodded: "I'll go and invite her now."
At this moment, Zhou Lingyu and Zhou Qilin exchanged glances and whispered, "Did you hear that?"
"Well, dying suddenly from stepping on mushrooms, and with a scary face, this doesn't seem like an ordinary accident."
"We have to go and see."
Ten minutes later, a cordon was set up at the edge of the forest on the back mountain.
The searchlight illuminated the dim woods, and everyone stepped aside to make way.
Su Yao approached the body. It was a young female employee, about twenty years old. She was lying on a pile of wet leaves, her eyes wide open, her lips blue, and her fingernails digging into her palms.
Zhou Qilin was puzzled: "There are no external injuries..."
"Not on the surface." Su Yao squatted down, his slender fingertips lightly placed on the woman's wrist, his pulse was cold.
