Chapter 78 He's Back...
Chapter Seventy-Eight: He's Back
The woman just stared at Ling Hao without saying a word.
Ling Hao raised an eyebrow, looked at Zhui Ming, and said, "Shouldn't suspicious persons who appear at the murder scene be handed over to the authorities?"
Zhuiming paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
"Here you go." She turned around and stepped forward, pressing on the other person's acupoint. With a flick of the snow-covered blade in her hand, she sent the person flying towards Zhui Ming.
Because her acupoints were sealed and she couldn't move, the woman had to lean forward like a zombie. The men from the Divine Marquis's Mansion quickly stepped forward to support her, and then bound her hands with chains. They were already experienced in this; anyone from the martial arts world had to be tied up tightly, otherwise they might try to escape.
Solving cases should definitely be left to professionals, so Linghao doesn't plan to get involved. Of course, the main reason is that now that Wuhua is gone, she doesn't know who the real culprit is, and she can't just make someone up, can she?
So after recounting what she and Mingyue had encountered on the lake, she left with Mingyue. She thought to herself that since she was still in Kyoto, she could still be of help if needed.
Seeing Ling Hao and the others leave like that, Chu Liuxiang hesitated.
Zhui Ming smiled and said, "Chu Liuxiang, would you like to help?"
Chu Liuxiang asked, "Would Third Master be willing to let me help?"
"As long as you're not a murderer, of course you can."
“That’s fine then,” Chu Liuxiang replied. He paused, then asked, “Zhuiming, who is that young master? How come he can summon people from the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review?” If the Divine Marquis’s Mansion and the Six Doors had to appear because of their duties, then what about the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review?
Not only that, everyone in the government offices treated that young master with utmost respect. Chu Liuxiang was genuinely curious and desperately wanted to know. He was inherently a very curious person; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten involved in so much trouble. Only a curious person would repeatedly investigate to find out the truth.
Zhuiming just smiled and didn't answer Chu Liuxiang's question. Instead, he talked about who the wounds on the corpses came from and how to determine the order of death of the five people.
Seeing this, Chu Liuxiang understood. He knew, but he couldn't say. This only fueled Chu Liuxiang's curiosity.
Jin Jiuling, who had been ignored, remained silent, simply asking the people from the Six Doors for help. However, he was secretly plotting how to make contact with the young master from earlier. That token belonged to the Emperor; his status was certainly extraordinary.
Kyoto is a murky place; without a powerful backer, one can easily be swallowed up by its turbid waters. He may be overlooked now, but that may not be the case in the future.
"Achoo!" On the other side, Gongzi Mingyue, who was following behind Linghao, sneezed.
"Mingyue, have you caught a cold?" Linghao immediately turned around and asked with concern.
"No, I'm fine," Gongzi Mingyue replied with a smile. "Ah Hao, you've finally decided to talk to me."
"Huh?" Ling Hao was taken aback. "Why am I ignoring you?"
“Yes.” Gongzi Mingyue nodded. “You’ve neglected me all the way here.”
Ling Hao smiled helplessly, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something and didn't notice for a moment. How about this, I'll make you double-skin milk pudding, okay? It's a kind of dessert, and you like sweet things, right? Maybe you'll like it."
Her cooking skills are actually just average; her food is barely edible, but some of her desserts are alright. Since she didn't have anything particularly impressive to offer as an apology, she could only make desserts.
“I like everything Ah Hao makes.” Gongzi Mingyue smiled immediately and reached out to grab Ling Hao’s sleeve. “Ah Hao, I’m your best friend, right?” For some reason, he felt a vague unease deep down when he met Ah Hao again this time.
Therefore, he needed to confirm with Ling Hao again and again the feelings between them.
"Of course." Linghao reached out and patted Mingyue's head.
When Ling Hao reached out her hand, Gongzi Mingyue lowered his head, only raising it after she removed it. He smiled and said, "That's good then, I..."
"Boom—!" A thunderous roar echoed from the horizon.
Gongzi Mingyue's expression was rather unpleasant, and he muttered, "Why is it raining so much in Kyoto?"
Ling Hao thought of Gongzi Yu and couldn't help but ask, "Mingyue, don't you like rain?"
“No, not exactly.” Gongzi Mingyue shook her head. “It’s just that I don’t know why, but I really dislike the moment it rains, especially rain at night. That’s what I dislike the most.”
So that's how it is! Ling Hao finally understood that the reason Mingyue and Gongzi Yu switched places was because of the rain that night. So before, when they were still on the road, Gongzi Yu was still Gongzi Yu, not Mingyue. Until last time, it happened to be raining at night, they switched places, and she just happened to witness it.
"Ah, let's hurry back." Young Master Mingyue frowned slightly. "It's getting dark, let's go back quickly." He had never liked rain before, but for some reason, he disliked it especially this time.
"Okay." Ling Hao grabbed Gongzi Mingyue's hand and led him onto the roof. With a few leaps, they cleared two rooftops. She also wanted to get back quickly; if they changed outside, then…
"This is so much fun!" Young Master Mingyue jumped around on the rooftop with Ling Hao, finding it extremely entertaining. Of course, it was also because she was with Ling Hao; anything seemed fun when she was with her.
Upon arriving at the villa, Linghao led Young Master Mingyue ashore. It was already dark, with only a sliver of light remaining on the horizon. She pulled him inside, saying, "Let's go in..."
The rain had already started falling, landing on Linghao's face. She turned around abruptly and saw Mingyue, who was still smiling obediently at her, looking somewhat confused. But at that moment, his expression changed. Those eyes, now filled with a sinister light, had changed hands; they were no longer her Mingyue's.
Ling Hao instinctively released the other's hand, took a step back, and turned to stand face to face with him. How could this be? Why so fast this time? Why did it have to rain at this particular moment? It rarely rains in Kyoto. Where's Mingyue? He was suddenly switched; is he scared?
Linghao's mind is currently a jumbled mess, but it's almost entirely filled with images of the bright moon.
Gongzi Yu watched as Ling Hao released his hand, watched her take a step back, and watched her eyes, devoid of any joy. He couldn't help but sneer, "What? Disappointed to see it's me?"
Why is Ah Hao treating him differently when it's clearly him? Is he really not even a fraction as good as that idiot? Gongzi Yu felt as if a thousand thorns were piercing his heart.

[Wuxia Crossover] Starting with a knife to the heartless man
Cui Yuheng transmigrated, bringing with her a system. The moment she opened her eyes, she found herself in the face of the Fairy Mochou, at her ex-lover's wedding banquet. Hearing the system's demand for hatred points, she performed a heart-cleansing surgery on the unfaithful man with a single stroke.
This level of hatred is absolutely enormous. Cui Yuheng smiled.
What was supposed to be a short trip turned into an endless journey, and the number of times this unfaithful man had stabbed her in the back increased, while his methods became more and more restrained. Cui Yuheng continued to smile in response.
An ex-lover who abandons his old love to marry a new one? That's a death sentence.
A monk who seduced a woman and then abandoned her? He's been stabbed.
A coward who abandoned his older sister for his younger sister, only to then give the younger sister away in return? He deserves to be killed.
One slash, one kill; if that's not enough, a few more slashes. Cui Yuheng slashed through world after world, her swordsmanship becoming more and more skilled, her smile more and more radiant, and the system's need for hatred points increasing accordingly.
On his way to the final battle, Bai Yutang inexplicably embarked on a series of strange journeys. The people and events in each world were different, but there was only one person. Regardless of her identity, she never changed in his eyes.
Note: Similar to quick transmigration martial arts novels.
[Wuxia Crossover] Wandering the Martial World with a Pot and Ladle
When An Yujing was bound to the gourmet system, she jumped for joy. Haha, she's finally getting her comeuppance! She knew she couldn't transmigrate without a cheat system. Even if it's a little late, it's better than nothing.
System: Um, host, how about we celebrate a little later?
An Yujing: ?
Poor An Yujing, the system has the wrong world. This isn't a safe and peaceful gourmet world; this is a martial arts world, and her mission is to become a world-renowned chef.
An Yujing: ...
Since she was already here, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and do the task. However, in the world of martial arts, one couldn't become famous solely through food, so she had to find another way. Sigh, what a predicament.
He opened a food stall in Bianjing. One day, Leng Xue accidentally stumbled upon it while chasing a murderer. After that, he could often be seen at the food stall.
The Female Magistrate of Liaozhai
Mu Wenqing was a county magistrate during the Xia Dynasty. He was often praised for his integrity, decisiveness, and fearlessness in the face of ghosts and gods, and was also commended by his superiors.
Mu Wenqing smiled but remained silent. It wasn't that she wasn't afraid of ghosts and gods; she was terrified of monsters, truly. But when all the ghosts she saw were miniature versions of Perler beads, then there was nothing to be afraid of. Even their attacks felt like being hit with Perler beads; she could even dismantle them like Perler beads, so there was even less to be afraid of.
A miniature version of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio made of Perler beads—you'll know what I mean when you try it! (in a Jianbing Guozi accent~)
