"Heh, you're quite good at making up lies. You haven't even lived for twenty years, but you're talking like you've lived hundreds of years longer than me," Bai Zhiyu said in a muffled voice.
Su Chen opened her eyes wide and feigned surprise, saying, "Oh, you're not drunk? Your logical thinking is still quite clear."
"Why did you drink so much?"
Bai Zhiyu chuckled, "You don't know?"
Su Chen frowned. "What should I know?"
Bai Zhiyu carefully observed Su Chen's expression before whispering, "Xiao Tan is dead."
"Dead?" Su Chen was slightly taken aback, but after all, she was neither the original owner of this body nor the person who grew up with Xiao Tan.
Bai Zhiyu: "Yes, she was already dead when I saw her."
"You want to avenge her?" Su Chen regretted her words as soon as she spoke, realizing that she had asked a pointless question.
He then asked, "Do you know who killed her?"
Bai Zhiyu: "He is a demonic cultivator."
Su Chen: "Which demonic cultivator?"
"I don't know."
Su Chen: ...
Su Chen was getting a little tired of standing, so she simply moved a chair and sat down in front of him. "So what's the purpose of you drinking here? To drown your sorrows?"
“If you want to avenge her, what you need to do now is not to drink in the tavern. You need to go to heaven and earth to find that enemy.”
"Are you trying to put your mind at ease now? If so, then pretend I said nothing today."
Bai Zhiyu remained silent for a long time before putting down the wine jar she was holding.
Su Chen knew he had taken her words to heart, but some people might forget what they promised when they were drunk, so she decided to come back to him tomorrow to pour cold water on him again.
Su Chen instructed the tavern waiter to arrange a room for Bai Zhiyu, and then left.
Jin Yu, who had been barely noticeable all day, tugged at Su Chen's sleeve. "Sister, aren't you afraid you won't be able to find him tomorrow?"
Su Chen: "I'm scared, but I can't keep watching him in the restaurant forever, can I?"
Jin Yu: "Why? Is it because you don't have enough money to stay at the restaurant?"
Su Chen's thoughts: What he said was so hurtful.
"Do you... feel a bit better? Like, clearer?" Su Chen felt that Jin Yu didn't seem as stupid as she had been a couple of days ago, and could even think about problems now.
Jin Yu lowered her eyes. "My sister thinks I'm stupid."
Su Chen: "I didn't, I didn't, don't cry! If you cry in the street, it'll look like I did something to you."
"Sister..." Sure enough, when Jin Yu looked up, there were glistening tears in the corners of her eyes.
"No, no, no, turn off the tap." Su Chen's face scrunched up like she was constipated. "You're crying for no reason. I'm starting to wonder if you've recovered and are just teasing me on purpose."
Jin Yu closed her eyes and wailed, "I didn't..."
Su Chen was in a real bind. There were indeed few people on the street at night, but precisely because there were few people, everyone would look over when Jin Yu cried like that.
Su Chen couldn't stand this "brat," so her solution was to forcibly pull him away by the wrist.
When they reached a place where no one could be seen, and listened to Jin Yu's sobbing, Su Chen felt no emotion whatsoever.
Su Chen said expressionlessly, "Don't cry. I asked you if you were a little clear-headed back then because I wanted to know if you had found your shattered soul."
"Doesn't my sister think I'm stupid? She wants the old me back then."
Su Chen sneered, "Yes, I am. Because I don't want to face you without your memories. I'm just that selfish. Are you satisfied?"
