What! The person escaped
"Mr. Xiao, is there anything else you want to buy?" Liu Er asked with his head tilted, holding a lot of bags in his arms.
Xiao Cha covered her head helplessly, the embarrassment on her face almost overflowing.
Just now, Xiao Cha was accompanying Song Liubai to deal with matters in the pavilion... Well, Song Liubai felt sorry for him and didn't give Xiao Cha those densely packed memorials that made him upset at the first glance.
Xiao Cha felt bored, so he casually suggested going out for a walk.
At first he thought Song Liubai would not agree to him, but he saw his expression pause for a moment, then he returned to normal and agreed. Now thinking about Song Liubai's reaction just now, it is really strange.
Although 'Song Liubai' promised him that he could go out and play, he still had to be under surveillance.
Xiao Cha put her hands on her hips and turned to look at Liu Er behind her, her eyes casually sweeping over the strange rune on his waist.
The rune was drawn on the belt with special ink, and at first glance it looked like an eye.
Xiao Cha bit his finger lightly. He knew Song Liubai's nature very well. When he was in the sect, he liked to make little paper figures to follow him around. This strange rune was also part of his way of monitoring him.
"Young Master?"
Liu Er saw that he suddenly stopped and thought that he was interested in something on the stall, but when he followed his gaze, he found that Xiao Cha was looking at the end, which seemed to be his "waist".
At this moment, he suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning.
He had followed the Pavilion Master for many years, and his loyalty was undeniable. But what if the young man the Pavilion Master had his eye on also fell in love with him? What would he do?
I'm afraid I'll be eaten alive.
Liu Er swallowed and was imagining what posture he should use to go to the Pavilion Master to apologize, when the young man suddenly spoke.
"Aren't you tired of holding all these things?"
"Don't you have a treasure like a space bag?"
As Xiao Cha spoke, he pointed at the bag on his waist.
Liu Er realized belatedly that he had just imagined everything. He was young and full of energy, and when he met a young man who was flirting with him without realizing it, his face immediately turned red and he stammered, "Oh, oh, oh, I forgot..."
Xiao Cha sighed and said helplessly: "I know your Pavilion Master is very rich."
"But there's no need. If I just keep my eyes on that item for three seconds, will you buy it for me?"
"The Pavilion Master said he wanted to make you happy." Liu Er explained: "So as long as..."
Xiao Cha was speechless for a moment, and with drooping eyelids, he pointed casually at the roadside, "Do you think I'll buy something for you just because I point at you?"
Liu Er turned his head blankly, his expression instantly becoming unnatural and panicked, and he turned to look at the unaware boy in disbelief.
The person that Pavilion Master Xin brought back had quite strange tastes. It was the first time he had seen someone cheating on Pavilion Master.
"Sir, I can buy it, but I'm afraid our Pavilion Master... well, I'm still worried about you."
What are you talking about?
Xiao Cha slowly realized that he seemed to be pointing at something extraordinary, and then turned his head stiffly to look.
"Do I seem to be disturbing you?"
Huai Zusu was dressed in plain clothes, and his originally golden pupils had turned into a pair of black eyes by some magic. There was a faint smile on his face, as if he was greeting him.
“…”
Xiao Cha immediately withdrew his hand, thinking that he might have not checked the almanac today, so why did he run into this "uninvited guest" as soon as he went out.
Liu Er stared with wide eyes and bit his lower lip, then realized belatedly that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the air.
Liu Er saw that Xiao Cha, who had a good expression just now, now had a hint of stiffness on his face. Although it was quickly concealed, Liu Er, who grew up reading other people's faces and eating their food, instantly understood the meaning.
Liu Er took a few steps forward, blocking Huai Zusu's sight, and leaned slightly, motioning him to go to the other end.
"Sir, you must be tired from walking so far. Why don't you go to the teahouse in front and take a rest?"
"Um."
Xiao Cha withdrew his gaze indifferently.
Huai Zusu stood there with his arms folded, his eyes following the boy but not catching up. The look in his eyes when he looked at the boy was very strange, with tenderness and a hint of deep meaning in it.
"Your Majesty, should we follow?"
"No need. There is someone watching here. I'm afraid he may have known our whereabouts. I just came here to say hello and confirm whether this young man is the one I want." Huai Zusu's hands hanging by his side gradually clenched, and then loosened.
"Your Majesty, is he the person you are looking for?" The demon servant handed over the hat in his hand.
Huai Zusu slowly shook his head, then put the hat on his head. When the curtain was lowered, his stunning golden eyes appeared.
He didn't explain it clearly, but just said vaguely: "When people die in this world, there is only reincarnation, not rebirth."
"Keep an eye on it for me. I want to meet this Pavilion Master in person."
"yes."
*
Xiao Cha sat in a compartment in the teahouse.
There was a cup of freshly brewed, steaming hot tea at hand, and a few pastries in the middle.
Xiao Cha had no interest in food. His palms were clasped on the table. He was thinking, so his thumb kept rubbing the lines on his index finger.
Huai Zusu appeared here, and the person he was targeting should be Song Liubai, but was this the purpose of Song Liubai sending him away?
When Xiao Cha was distracted.
Liu Er quietly took out the things he had just bought one by one, sorted them and put them back.
During this time, Liu Er's eyes kept glancing at the boy's gradually solidified expression.
The Pavilion Master really values this young man, but who is this young man's background? The Pavilion Master seems to have become irrational when he meets him.
"Let's go back."
The more Xiao Cha thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. It just so happened that he also felt that the time he had left to go out today was just enough.
"Sir, are you sure you don't want to go shopping anymore?"
Xiao Cha thought of Huai Zusu's face and shook her head. "If this continues, I'm afraid your Pavilion Master will go bankrupt."
"No, my Pavilion Master has the most money, even though he has nothing else."
Xiao Cha was mentally prepared, but when he heard these words, the corners of his eyes twitched.
He wondered what Song Liubai had done in the past eighteen years. Did he rob the God of Wealth Temple or cause trouble for other sects?
Liu Er thought he didn't believe it and wanted to continue talking.
"Don't say that again."
Xiao Cha held his forehead with one hand and raised his hand to stop him.
"Oh." Liu Er responded honestly without stopping his hands.
Xiao Cha narrowed her eyes as she realized something, and her gaze fixed on Liu Er.
Liu Er has been with Song Liubai for so long, how could he not recognize Huai Zusu.
"That person just now was so strange."
"What's so strange about that, young master?"
"It's just that my eyes... seem a little abnormal." Xiao Cha waited quietly for his answer.
"Ahem, maybe he is from the Western Regions, so his pupils are bound to be different," Liu Er explained with a natural expression.
"Yeah?"
"Can human pupils also become vertical pupils?"
Liu Er raised his eyes and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Taking advantage of his shocked look, Xiao Cha smiled knowingly, propped up her chin with her elbow, and said, "Tell me, what exactly is your good Pavilion Master planning?"
Liu Er pursed his lips.
The boy's appearance was too disguised. When he didn't speak, he looked like a little lamb that could be bullied at will. But when he found out someone's weakness, the madness in his eyes was more bloodthirsty than anyone else.
"You won't tell me?"
"Then I'll ask him myself."
Xiao Cha raised an eyebrow and held the teacup on the table firmly in his hand. He drank it all and waited quietly for Liu Er's reply.
Liu Er was conflicted, with a look of difficulty in making a decision on his face. The words just now really scared Liu Er.
But in fact, Xiao Cha would never ask Song Liubai. If Song Liubai didn't say something, it meant that he didn't want to know. What's more, it was always more interesting to dig out something from other people's mouths than to have them tell him.
"The pavilion has...trading dealings with the demon race." Liu Er bit his lower lip.
The boy was obviously several years younger than him, but he acted in such a mature manner, making Liu Er look down on his elders.
"trade?"
Song Liubai stretched out his arms quite wide.
A trace of shock flashed across Xiao Cha's black pupils. People who came from the Immortal Sect attached great importance to moral conduct. Those who had contact with the demon clan were considered abnormal.
"Don't overthink it, my lord. The Pavilion Master has not done anything to harm the human race."
"More than a decade ago, our Pavilion Master became obsessed with medicine. Although the human race has a vast territory and abundant resources, there are always some things that lack miraculous medicines. That's why we established a business relationship with the demon race." Liu Er explained hurriedly.
This is quite like his style.
However, although Song Liubai's medicine skills are not among the best, he is also a master in the original book. How come he suddenly became obsessed with medicine?
Xiao Cha touched his chin and then asked, "Is that all?"
"Young Master has never practiced cultivation before, so he certainly doesn't know that the demon race is born with a natural talent bonus, but their power is always the biggest obstacle for them."
"The Pavilion Master promised Huai Zusu that he would be able to survive the Mahayana stage and would send him a body-shaping pill every three months."
Liu Er said slowly.
"Then this time..."
Seeing the embarrassment on Liu Er's face, Xiao Cha swallowed the rest of the questions.
Forget it, that’s all I have to ask today.
"Forget it, I'll just sit here for a while." Xiao Cha waved his hand and continued, "But I don't really like the cakes here."
"Then what do you want to eat, sir?"
"I see they sell pumpkin pie there." Xiao Cha raised her hand and pointed to the small stall downstairs outside the window.
Liu Er nodded, put away the things in his hands, and went downstairs.
The teahouse's compartment was so quiet that it seemed that Xiao Cha was the only one left.
"despair--"
The teacup made a crisp sound when it tapped gently on the table.
Xiao Cha slowly raised his head and saw Liu Er downstairs.
He knew that there were many people in the building that Song Liubai had ordered to guard him.
But he still turned around decisively and walked in the other direction of the corridor without mercy.
Some things you have to ask the person in person to know.
