Master 81

  This is a cozy and elegant coffee shop. The female singer's voice is like a gentle stream that flows into everyone's heart, making people feel calm and serene.

  Near the floor-to-ceiling window, two women sat face to face, with long hair down to their waists. One was as cool and clear as a lotus flower in full bloom, while the other was warm and elegant, with a pair of eyes as deep and mysterious as the vast ocean. Occasionally, when she smiled, her face lit up like a bright crescent moon, radiant and breathtakingly beautiful.

  It was Ye Huanxi and Xiao Qingzhu.

  Every time people pass by them, their eyes always linger on the two of them for a moment.

  Ye Fenxiang carefully sized up Xiao Qingzhu, whom she had not seen for a long time, and sighed unknowingly in her heart. Although it had been many years since they last met, Ye Fenxiang still understood her.

  Xiao Qingzhu has changed a lot.

  "Qing Zhu, how have you been?" It was a long time before she finally asked just this one sentence.

  Xiao Qingzhu was taken aback, the soft sunlight filtering through the beaded curtain fell on her body, and the small spoon stirring the coffee in her hand paused for a moment. Her head was slightly lowered, and her downcast eyes covered up her inner thoughts, making Ye Huanxi unable to fathom them.

  "Lu Fei has been very good to me." Xiao Qingzhu raised her head again, and her eyes were still clear and calm, as if nothing had changed. She smiled at Ye Huanxi and said calmly.

  Although Xiao Qingzhu's words were good, Ye Huanxi's heart suddenly skipped a beat for some reason. Xiao Qingzhu's calmness made her feel somewhat unnatural, and the calmness was a bit too distant.

  It was as if nothing could stir up waves in her heart.

  This unnaturalness made Ye Huanxiu's eyebrows furrow, she knew that Xiao Qingzhu must have experienced a lot in these days, otherwise how could she change so much. Although she was also quiet and gentle in the past, it would only make people feel close to her. With her, Ye Huanxiu, there wouldn't be any feeling of estrangement. Those eyes were deep, but they didn't seem as cold and indifferent as they did now.

  After Zixiang Qingzhu left, she knew that everyone's heart was thinking of her, but among so many people, she was the one with the most identity and status to meet Zixiang Qingzhu.

  And so this meeting came about.

  "Qing Zhu," Ye Huan Creek was silent for a moment, and finally hesitated to say what was in his heart, "Leaving Tai Guang, is it really the right decision for you?"

  Xiao Qingzhu's eyes flashed a hint of pain, but in the next instant it was well concealed. Even Ye Huanxi, who was meticulous in her thoughts, didn't notice, and she nodded slightly, as if responding to Ye Huanxi's words.

  The longer she stayed with the Peng family, the more she felt that her decision was correct. She was by Du Shulin's side, and Du Shulin would protect her. She was Du Shulin's Achilles' heel, but she was just an ordinary person, not even capable of trussing a chicken. Anyone could use her to threaten Du Shulin.

  She didn't want to be a burden on Du Sulin and let Du Sulin get hurt while protecting her.

  The terrifying thing about Peng Haotian is something that ordinary people can't even imagine.

  She leaned her body against the back of the chair, looking a bit weak. Leaving Du Si Lin might be the only thing she could do. But all this, Xiao Qingzhu buried in her heart, without telling anyone, including Ye Huanxi.

  Because she never thought of getting anyone's understanding, this was just her own love for Du Shilin, which had nothing to do with others.

  Ye Fengxiang was right, Xiao Qingzhu has changed a lot. Nowadays, she seems to have let go of everything, including herself. But there is only one thing that hasn't changed, and that's the three words "Du Siling".

  "Qing Zhu?" Seeing Xiao Qingzhu's sudden decadent appearance, Ye Huanxi worriedly opened her mouth.

  Xiao Qingzhu shook his head and suppressed the waves in his heart caused by Du Siling, saying: "I'm fine."

  How could nothing be wrong? Peng Luo Fei got drunk and made a scene all night, this whole night, she almost didn't close her eyes in peace. The wound on her hand was treated by the best person called by Peng Luo Fei, but she could still feel the waves of pain coming from under the gauze.

  Her heart is now like an old tree on the verge of withering and falling asleep, even she herself doesn't know what can stir up some ripples in her heart, perhaps only Du Si Lin can.

  Seeing Xiao Qingzhu's appearance, Ye Huanxi sighed silently in her heart. Xiao Qingzhu's disguise was good, but how could she not see through it? But should these things be told to Du Siling?

  Xiao Qingzhu obviously didn't want Du Siling to know.

  "You just left and didn't even contact your sister Xi, I remember that." Ye Xiqi said with a hint of anger, giving Xiao Qingzhu a white eye.

  Xiao Qingzhu smiled apologetically and called out in a low voice, "Xi Jie."

  Ye Xuan Creek still had a blaming expression, sighed and said: "In the past few days, Seventeen and Taiguang have all left. Jingji Fangfeng's couple is loving each other very much, I've become an idle person with nothing to do."

  Xiao Qingzhu's usually calm eyes suddenly had a hint of sparkle, "Did Silin leave?"

  "Uh-huh." Ye Xuan nodded and responded with a sound, "She went to Xiangxi with Seventeen."

  "Xiangxi..." Xiao Qingzhu silently recited the name of this place in her heart, and the image that had been suppressed in her mind once again emerged. A hint of tenderness flowed out from her eyes, which even she herself did not notice.

  Ye Xuanji couldn't help but notice it. Her eyebrows and eyes finally revealed a hint of a smile.

  Su County

  "Ah ha!"

  Dong Shuanghe listened to Du Siling's nth sneeze, shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Someone must be thinking of you, day and night, missing you, don't deny it!"

  As the person involved, Du Sulin was even more helpless. Why did he keep sneezing inexplicably?

  Lan'er couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Du Si Lin's helpless expression, which made her feel extremely good.

  "Wait a minute—" Just as Du Sulin was about to retort, Dong Shuanghe stretched out his hand and blocked the way between Du Sulin and Lan'er.

  The two of them stopped in their tracks and followed Dong Shuanghe's gaze, but there was no one in front of them. However, as they looked around, the expressions on both of their faces changed simultaneously.

  But soon, Du Sulin's expression returned to normal, and he exchanged a glance with Dong Shuanghe, saying lightly: "Nothing, I made a mistake."

  Dong Shuanghe understood Du Siling's meaning and nodded. The three of them chatted again, and the atmosphere relaxed once more.

  The suburbs of Su County are picturesque, truly a rare scenic spot. Du Shilin and the other two people arrived here after leaving Heyang, playing in the mountains and waters all the way, feeling quite carefree.

  Not long after, Du Sulin suddenly pushed Dong Shuanghe away from her side, and she herself put her hand on Lan Er's waist, quickly retreating around her. A black shadow flashed by in the next instant from where the three originally stood.

  Du Sulin's face sank as he coldly said: "You've come, so you've come. Why must you still hide and show only a corner of yourself? It's not like I haven't seen you."

  There was no response around, but an unusual silence, even the birds' chirping seemed to have disappeared.

  Suddenly, Du Sulin made a sideways movement, and a yellow talisman flew out like a sharp sword, actually inserting itself into the trunk of the tree.

  Applause erupts.

  Du Sulin and the other two looked in the direction of the sound source, and it was a young man with a suit and tie, looking handsome.

  "It's no wonder he's a descendant of the Du family." Gao Sheng praised, in the past, he had only heard that the generations of the Yin and Yang Tian Shi family, the Du family, were renowned for their skills. Today, seeing it with his own eyes, it was truly impressive. Just that one move of shooting the yellow talisman into the tree trunk was enough to make people gasp in amazement.

  Du Sulin sneered, the corner of his mouth curled up in an arc, and he taunted: "Do all zombies nowadays like to dress so fashionably and do things like hiding their heads and showing their tails?"

  Gao Sheng laughed and said, "Let Taito Shifu see the joke, Gao Sheng didn't have any ill intentions." What a joke! Among these three people in front of him, none of them were his match. Especially Du Sulin, in the zombie world, as long as it wasn't an opponent who could withstand the pressure, it was simply effortless to push forward.

  "What's your reason for following us?" Du Sulin's face was as cold and unyielding as a thousand-year-old glacier, making people feel pressured just by looking at him.

  Gao Sheng nodded and said politely: "I just hope that you can stop investigating the few murder cases in Xiangxi."

  "Hahaha...!" Lan'er picked a orchid flower and covered her lips, as if she had heard some huge joke, and burst out laughing. "Mr. Gao is really good at making jokes, but I have to say, I love your sense of humor!" Her smile was radiant, her voice as gentle as autumn water, charming and captivating, stirring people's hearts.

  Gao Sheng's face stiffened, and he immediately added: "I wasn't joking."

  What a calamity! Du Sulin muttered to himself in his heart, and from his somewhat unnatural expression, it could be seen that he was not slightly affected by Lan Er.

  "Are you saying that several murder cases in Xiangxi were done by you?" Dong Shuanghe asked, standing beside him.

  Gao Sheng said: "As for the case of Xiangxi, I'm sure you all have already made your guesses. Why make things difficult for Gao Sheng?" He revealed a somewhat bitter smile and added at the end: "Gao Sheng is just a small pawn after all."

  Du Sulin didn't know why Gao Sheng had such a bitter and helpless expression, she thought maybe she was wrong, but at the moment she didn't think much about it. She coldly said: "What's the difference whether you know or not? You can't just take people's lives as nothing, right? And those dead souls are being detained by you, they can't even reincarnate, how can we not investigate further? Besides, with so many people involved, is it only you, Gao Sheng, who has the guts to come out and see me?"

  Gao Sheng heard this and his expression changed, for a moment he didn't know how to respond to Du Si Lin.

  "High-rise, Master Cai was right, you're still too softhearted!" Du Siling's voice had just fallen when a loud and clear voice rang out from the trees not far away.

  Immediately afterwards, there were faint footsteps, and judging from the sound of the footsteps alone, it was clear that there were many people.

  The appearance of Shi Tou almost overturned Du Si Lin's impression of zombies. The zombies she had seen, except for the low-level zombies without thinking, were all high-level zombies that attached great importance to their image.

  And the one in front of him... Wearing a tattered coarse linen garment, unkempt and disheveled, with a sturdy and robust physique, his bald head alone was at least over 1.9 meters tall, a good half a head taller than Du Sulin.

  If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Du Sulin would have absolutely imagined that a muscular and burly man like him could jump down from a high place as lightly as a dragonfly touching water, almost without making a sound.

  The stone just stood in front of a few people, and its massive body brought a sense of pressure to everyone. A person so big, probably wouldn't feel pain no matter how hard you hit him? However, he just seemed to say... Master?
