After several matches, all participants took a break at halftime, and the butler informed Qiu Shui to come down from the high platform that everyone was watching.
Qiu Shui breathed a sigh of relief and quietly disappeared from people's sight along the path.
Qiu Shui went to the backstage lounge to rest. She sat on the sofa, and Rou Ya, who had transformed into human form, came in with some pretty snowflake candies and a glass of water.
She placed the candy in front of Qiu Shui, who then floated in the air with a smile.
“Miss, someone outside brought these white candies. It’s a man wearing tennis clothes, about twenty years old. He seems to know you,” Rouya said softly.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shui picked up a snowflake candy and put it in her mouth. The sweetness melted in her mouth, and she was very familiar with this taste.
After thinking for a moment, she remembered the familiar source. In Heian-kyo, the guild leader and his shikigami ran a dessert shop, and the pine nut candy there tasted just like this.
The president is here?
Thinking of this, Qiu Shui was overjoyed. This was undoubtedly the best comfort for her. Nothing had changed here, and she was not alone.
Thinking of this, she comforted herself, yet a layer of sorrow welled up in her heart. She had been hiding these past few days; it was time to find out about the Blackwater.
If she can't even take good care of the shikigami left behind by the black water, how can she live up to her reputation?
At the same time, she also thought of her children in Heian-kyo. What were they doing now? Were they thinking of her too?
Qiu Shui thought silently.
Just then, a beeping sound rang in her ears.
"Miss, the eldest young lady is calling." Rouya said calmly after a moment of surprise.
Qiu Shui glanced at her bracelet, answered the phone more calmly than her, and straightened her body to prepare for her elder sister's lengthy criticism and lecture.
Unexpectedly, Luo Xiaoyu's phone call only gently told her to take care of her health and safety, without mentioning anything about what happened before.
After blankly agreeing to her request, Qiu Shui hung up the phone and remained in a delicate state for a while.
Things are different now.
"It seems the appearance of the healing 'witchcraft' has solved a lot of trouble for you, Miss," Rouya said with a smile, having overheard their conversation.
Seeing Qiu Shui's surprised gaze, she continued, "From now on, Miss will no longer have to worry about using witchcraft beyond her physical limits, as long as that person is there."
Hearing this, Qiu Shui felt very conflicted. After a while, she asked in a complicated tone, "But wouldn't it be inhumane for us to do this?"
Rouya smiled slightly, not changing her opinion, "That person is a black witch, and black witches cannot be compared with humanity."
She said it gently.
Upon hearing her words, Qiu Shui felt a sudden chill, as if she had returned to the day she saw those dark, murky corpses in the underground power plant in Tianxi City.
When did she instill this kind of thinking in Rouya?
Qiu Shui remained silent, reflecting on herself. Just as the atmosphere grew tense, another phone call came in.
"It's a call from Tianma Xingke."
Rouya transferred the call to her again.
"Hello? Is this Qiu Shui?"
The voice of Tian Ma Xingke came from the other end of the phone.
"yes."
I just saw you. I'm so envious of you! Where are you now?
"I am here……"
After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Shui asked in return, "Where are you? I'll come find you."
"I don't know where I am."
A frustrated voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's alright, don't move, I've found you."
Qiu Shui looked at Luo Yi's map and said.
After hanging up the phone, she got into the flying car and flew towards the supermarket where Tianma Xingke was located.
There they found the traveler, and after several months apart, he was still as handsome and energetic as ever.
A woman stood beside him, wearing heavy makeup, staring at him with a strange expression.
Who is this?
Qiu Shui heard the woman ask the traveler.
“She’s my friend, the person we just met. She lives here,” the traveler explained briefly.
Upon hearing his words, the woman looked up and sized up Qiu Shui.
Her skin was pale, clearly not due to the prominent blue veins; she was very slender, and her poor coordination was evident in her gait.
This is not a strong witch.
As she sized up Qiu Shui, Qiu Shui was also sizing her up.
Qiu Shui keenly noticed that her right arm was injured. Although the loose clothing covered some of the wound, the blood seeping out was very obvious.
"Are you injured?"
Qiu Shui asked hesitantly.
Upon hearing this, the woman awkwardly clutched her worn-out clothes. Unlike the carefree traveler, she clearly disliked being too close to Qiu Shui.
Tian Ma Xingke waved his hand, took a small bag from the woman's hand, walked to Qiu Shui's side, and said goodbye to the woman.
"I'm leaving now," he said.
The woman asked him, "Are you staying at her house tonight?"
Tian Ma Xingke nodded, a smile spreading across his face, revealing a set of white teeth.
"Don't worry about me, sister-in-law. My friend is very reliable."
Upon hearing this, the woman turned back several times as she left, finally disappearing reluctantly in front of the giant supermarket.
Watching her departing figure, Qiu Shui asked curiously, "Is she your sister-in-law? Your own sister-in-law?"
"right."
Tian Ma Xingke sighed.
"She's injured. What happened to you on the way?" Qiu Shui asked as she walked toward where the flying car was parked.
The traveler shook his head.
"She just tripped and fell."
"Not going to the hospital?"
Before getting into the car, Qiu Shui asked.
