Wanqi Siling
Chapter 539 Lingering
After listening to Changuang's riddle-like answers, Mingmei saw Mei Shi reach out and touch his bald head.
Mingmei: ==
Great, that's so like her persona.
Changuang wasn't annoyed that Mingmei touched his little head; on the contrary, he always had a polite smile on his face.
If Mingmei had a poker face as a child, Mingmei felt that Changuang probably had a mask face, wearing one expression all day, and if he didn't like it, he could change to another one.
"Amitabha..."
Mingmei: ...
Mei Shi: ...
Mei Jiu: ...
They waited for a long time, but they didn't really want to hear that sentence.
"Ahem! Never mind." Mei Shi saved face for herself and turned her gaze to Mei Jiu, asking, "What exactly happened? Why did the Red Silk I gave you go berserk?"
As Mei Shi asked, Mingmei's gaze fell on the inconspicuous red silk ribbon in Mei Jiu's hair bun. It was a protective treasure that Mei Shi had specially crafted for Mei Jiu, and it would never be used in normal circumstances.
What's more, Mei Jiu is still so young.
"I was just standing with Luo Yao at the time, and that bad guy suddenly wanted to attack me and Luo Yao, so I..." Mei Jiu scratched her little head, looking like she also regretted it. She can't control the power of the Red Silk yet.
"I was wrong, and I apologized to Lianhua Temple, but they also have to explain to us." Mei Jiu's thoughts are still very clear.
On the one hand, Mei Jiu also admitted that she was wrong, but on the other hand, the incident was caused by a Lianhua Temple disciple. Mei Jiu's side is easy to explain, but what about Lianhua Temple?
A disciple of yours, possessed by a demon and invaded by evil spirits, silently slaughtered the sects affiliated with Bibo Yao Mountain?
Even if Hundred Herbs Sect is indifferent to the world, the sect leader is still a Yuanying, and there are several Jindan cultivators under his command, all of whom were killed by your foundation-building disciple?
Are you kidding me?
Therefore, the main reason Mei Jiu and the others stayed here this time was not because she had committed a crime, but because the matter was too complicated. The sect leader of Bibo Yao Mountain was even afraid that something might happen to Mei Jiu on the way back.
Now that Mingmei and Mei Shi have come, they are also happy to let her go, but Mei Jiu doesn't want to leave. She directly grabbed Mei Shi's leg and shouted, "Mother, let's help Luo Yao's master catch the real culprit?"
As she spoke, Mei Jiu turned to look at Changuang, who happened to be absentminded. Seeing that the direction he was looking in was Mingmei, a trace of doubt flashed in Mei Jiu's eyes.
Mingmei noticed Mei Jiu looking at her. She raised her head to look at Mei Jiu, and when she saw Mei Jiu pouting at her, Mingmei turned her head and saw Changuang looking at her.
"Please help my temple, Immortal."
Mei Jiu had just thought that Changuang was in a daze, but he answered so smoothly. He turned to look at Mei Shi and bowed, asking for help. This made Mei Shi quickly avoid him, saying, "You little monk, your elders haven't spoken yet, and you're asking me for help. Be careful your elders hear and spank you!"
Although Mingmei didn't want to take on this brain-burning task, in the end, the others at Lianhua Temple actually listened to Changuang's suggestion.
It's just...
"Ah? Can't go back?"
Lu Xiaoyao originally thought that she would just come to Bibo Yao Mountain for a while and then go back, but it turned into a short stay.
How many days has she been secretly down the mountain this time?
Lu Xiaoyao secretly squatted there and counted with her fingers what punishment she would receive when she went back. Before she could sort out the hundreds of rules for disciples of Jingyun Mountain, she heard Mingmei's voice coming from behind her, suddenly saying, "If you make a great contribution, you will naturally be forgiven."
"Huh?" Lu Xiaoyao turned her head and saw Mingmei wandering around here alone, and she was also curious, looking at her and asking, "Why are you here?"
"Just wandering around, the scenery here is also very unique."
Mingmei's words were true. Mei Jiu is a restless person, and with Luo Yao also there, the two of them disappeared without a trace. Mingmei herself was relaxed, and after walking around, she ran into Lu Xiaoyao's mutterings.
"Are you serious? As long as I make a contribution?" Lu Xiaoyao looked at Mingmei with suspicion. Mingmei is not old, but her words are quite attractive.
The rules of Jingyun Mountain are actually quite strict.
"Yes, you are a disciple under my father's command. As long as my father speaks, if there is a legitimate reason, you won't be punished too much, right?" Mingmei coaxed her, encouraging Lu Xiaoyao to actively participate in the investigation of this case.
This investigation seems to involve player missions, as long as it's triggered properly...
Just as Mingmei was thinking about how to make Lu Xiaoyao's participation more reasonable, Lu Xiaoyao's game backend received a message, and she immediately said, "Don't worry! Leave it to me!"
Seeing Lu Xiaoyao suddenly agree, Mingmei didn't say anything, just turned around and said, "Then let's go."
"Go where?"
"To my mother's place."
When Mingmei brought Lu Xiaoyao to express her intention to help solve the case, not only were the people from Bibo Yao Mountain there, but also the second group from Lianhua Temple who came to pick up people, including Changuang.
Changuang stood in the group of adults and seemed particularly inconspicuous, but he was also particularly eye-catching.
At least, Mingmei saw him at a glance.
She and Mei Jiu would be driven out to play by Mei Shi on the grounds that they were children, but he, who was about the same age as her, sat there obediently and participated in the event. This is the difference.
Mingmei's gaze was undisguised, and Changuang naturally saw her. Those light-colored eyes looked at Mingmei, and rarely, Mingmei noticed that the corners of his mouth were raised a little more than before, with a gentle smile, and he nodded slightly at her, making Mingmei a little confused.
Guigui also felt a little confused.
It seems to have discovered something amazing.
[Host, do you remember Changuang from before?]
[What are you talking about?] Mingmei was speechless at Guigui's words. [He used to stay in Jingyun Mountain for a while, and my sister and I knew almost all of them who were the same age.]
[But you just don't recognize Mu Chen.]
After Guigui finished speaking, Mingmei was a little unconvinced. She had just brought Lu Xiaoyao in and then simply pretended to be stupid, relying on Lu Xiaoyao to not go out. Hearing Guigui mention Mu Chen, she was a little embarrassed and said, [Then don't I know him now? But was he like Xie Chen before? That feeling doesn't give me a good impression.]
Guigui: [...]
It was its fault, it hadn't reminded Mingmei about her and Mu Chen today.
[Host, are you thirsty? Are you hungry?]
[I'm fine.]
Mingmei was listening to the things that Bibo Yao Mountain had investigated based on the things that the Lianhua Temple disciple had confessed before his death. Suddenly, she heard Guigui ask herself this and frowned.
[What are you going to do?]
[Ahem~ the following story is a bit long, I want to make sure I'm not interrupted...]
