Four Lifetimes Dream

A hint of disappointment flashed across Luo Ci Yan's eyes:

"So...what do you care about?"

He thought she would be angry about him hiding his identity, but she said she didn't care.

This was originally a good thing for him, but he really hoped that she cared...

"A person's life or death!" She only cared about his life or death, and nothing else was worth her concern.

Luo Ciyan's eyes were filled with bitterness: "That person must be very important to you, right?"

Li Sheng thought for a moment before replying: "To be precise, his life is very important to me!"

“…”Is there any difference?

"By the way, who is the woman living in that yard over there?"

Li Sheng had actually wanted to ask this question for a long time. There was clearly no one living there a month ago, so how come there was a woman there now?

"According to Senior Xi, we rescued her on the roadside. Because she wasn't smart enough, her master expelled her from the sect. Now she has no place to live, so she's staying here temporarily." Luo Ci Yan explained.

"Who is her master?"

Li Sheng was a little curious about this master. Most people would only accept a disciple as a disciple after they saw a certain special skill of the person.

So why did this person accept her as his disciple when he knew that she was not smart? It would be fine if he accepted her, but in the end he expelled her from the sect. Isn't this a prickly thing?

Is he taking revenge for something?

"I heard from the seniors that her master seems to be the new sixth elder of Lingyue Peak, Sui Rong."

It’s a coincidence that, if you count strictly, they are from the same school!

"..." Lingyue Peak actually had a new sixth elder appointed. How come she didn't know about this?

Li Sheng was a little tired, so she stayed in Jueyuan Valley for one night. The next day, as soon as she went out, she ran into that woman!

"Morning, Miss Qi!" The woman greeted Li Sheng with a smile on her face.

"Good morning!" Li Sheng also replied politely.

She was not curious about why the woman knew her name. She had been here for a day, so it was normal for her to know her name.

After all, with Luo Shuanghan as the big loudspeaker, it’s hard for her name not to spread!

"Miss Qi, my name is Yue Xian. We hit it off right away. I just so happen to have some morning tea prepared. I wonder if Miss Qi would be so kind as to accompany me?" Yue Xian invited with a smile.

"Okay, then thank you Miss Yue!" Upon hearing this, Li Sheng became interested, smiled brightly, and agreed.

"Let's go!" Yue Xian walked forward, took Li Sheng's arm affectionately and walked towards her room.

"I didn't expect Miss Yue to be such an elegant person. This painting looks so lifelike!"

When Li Sheng entered the room, the first thing that caught her eye was a painting, and she couldn't help but sigh.

But Yue Xian was not happy to receive the compliment, instead she looked bitter:

"Miss Qi, you are the only one who can make me happy. My master said that I have no talent for painting and expelled me from the sect!"

"That can only mean that your master has a bad eye. But Miss Yue, why is it that the woman in this painting has only her body painted, and her face barely painted?"

Li Sheng was puzzled. Almost every part of the beauty's body in the painting was painted to perfection, except for her face, which only had a pair of eyes, as if they had just been painted on.

"I've been wanting to finish this painting for some time, but unfortunately I've never had any inspiration. However, after seeing Miss Qi today, I think I know how to paint next!" Yue Xian looked at Li Sheng, then at the painting, still smiling gently.

"Me?" What do you mean I get inspired when I see her?

If this is true, then wouldn't everyone who meets her become famous?

Seeing that she was puzzled, Yue Xian explained, "I have always wanted to make a perfect painting to impress my master, and now I think Miss Qi is that perfect person. If I had met the girl earlier, this painting might have been completed long ago!"

If she had met Li Sheng earlier, she wouldn't have had to waste so much effort before.

"Miss Yue, you are so flattering. However, no one is perfect, and paintings are no exception. Miss Yue should not be too harsh on herself!"

Li Sheng smiled and took a sip of the tea. It tasted just average, nothing special.

"Miss Qi is right, but I still want to do my best to do the best I can!"

Yue Xian also took a sip of tea and said seriously.

"Then I wish Miss Yue all her wishes come true in advance!"

Li Sheng didn't say anything more and just quietly ate the pastry in his hand.

I have to say, although the tea was not very good, the pastries tasted very good, so Li Sheng ate a few more pieces.

Afterwards, the two chatted about some random things. When they saw that it was almost time, Li Sheng stood up and said goodbye and left.

"Why did you go to her room?"

Li Sheng had just come out and was caught by Luo Ci Yan before she had time to return to her room.

"Miss Yue invited me to have morning tea, so of course I have to go to her room!"

Li Sheng answered truthfully with a faint smile on her face and a hint of playfulness in her calm tone.

"You look like you're having a good time."

Luo Ci Yan was a little unhappy. She was so happy when they met for the first time. He had never seen her so happy in all the time he had been with him!

Li Sheng nodded: "It's okay!"

After being idle for so long, she finally has something to do, and she is very happy!

Luo Ci Yan: "..." Just a morning tea, is it worth her being so happy? What a loser!

"The two young heroes are finally back!"

The two had just returned to Su City, and before they even set foot in the government office, they met Gao Wu on the street.

"Mr. Gao, how is your hand injured?" Li Sheng's gaze fell on the back of Gao Wu's hand, and saw that a layer of skin had been scraped off, leaving several red scratches.

Out of curiosity, Li Sheng asked, logically speaking, for a person like Gao Wu, everything would be done by his subordinates, so how did he get injured?

And the wound has been treated. If you look closely, it should be a few scratches.

"I don't know what happened, but a wild cat suddenly broke into the mansion yesterday, and I was scratched by it accidentally. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious!"

Gao Wu explained it indifferently.

"Then my lord, you must be more careful in the future!" Li Sheng nodded and gave a kind reminder.

"Your Excellency seems so anxious, what happened?" Luo Ci Yan asked.

"Today, another murder occurred. I am searching the whole city for the murderer!" Gao Wu sighed sadly.

"It just so happens that you two have returned, so why not come with me? I'm sure with you here, this matter will be much easier to handle!"

"Sir, could you take us to see the dead?" Upon hearing that someone else had died, Li Sheng's expression became serious.

"Of course you can, but Miss Qi, it's better not to go!" Gao Wu looked at Li Sheng, thought of the tragic condition of the deceased, and advised her.

"It's okay, just lead the way, sir!" Li Sheng smiled politely and continued.

She had read the death records of those women before, and they were quite scary, but nothing that could scare her had yet to appear!

"Okay!" Seeing that Li Sheng said so, Gao Wu didn't say anything more. He turned around and took the two of them to the morgue.

When they saw the dead, those grown men dared not look directly at the tragic scene.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties and had maintained a well-maintained figure. However, what was hard to look at was that not only was her face unrecognizable, but her head was also smashed to pieces!

How should I describe that tragic scene? It looked like a watermelon falling from a height and then smashing to the ground, bloody and mangled.

Seeing this situation, many yamen runners could not help but ran outside to vomit. As the leader, Gao Wu was naturally embarrassed to leave like those yamen runners. He just turned around and couldn't bear to look at the corpse again.

In fact, Luo Ci Yan was a little worried about Li Sheng. As a girl, she must be scared when seeing such a bloody scene, right?

As it turned out, he was overthinking it. Li Sheng looked calm and was observing the corpse very seriously!

Later, throughout the whole day, Gao Wu dragged the two of them to arrange the capture of the murderer, and it was not until nearly late at night that they were able to return to their rooms to rest.

After returning to the room, Li Sheng felt more and more that something was wrong. He always felt that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong.

So she simply changed into a nightgown, avoided all the guards, and went to the morgue again.
