After practicing the ruthless way, the little sister is too strong

The journey was not smooth, but fortunately, we finally arrived in Qingning City safely.

Xia Ling found an inn with a relatively quiet environment and a good environment, paid half a year's rent, and let Gu Yuanzhou live there.

Just in case, he even hired a waiter to take care of his daily life.

Although Gu Yuanzhou did not want to trouble her like this, he could not resist Xia Ling's persistence and finally let her arrange it.

After a busy day, Xia Ling finally finished his work and stretched his muscles. He looked at the room which had become clean and tidy after some tidying up and finally felt much more pleasing to the eye.

Pointing to the table, he said, "Brother, the first row contains bone healing pills. Take them together with the pills from yesterday, and the injury on your leg will get much better."

Gu Yuanzhou responded in a low voice: "...Thank you."

"Why are you being polite?" Xia Ling didn't care much. He glanced at the sky outside the window and remembered that he still had to hurry back.

He quickly said, "Brother, it's getting late. I have something else to do so I'll leave first. I'll come see you again in a few days. Have a good rest!"

Gu Yuanzhou was a little worried, but he still reminded him, "Be careful."

Junior sister’s sword-wielding skills are indeed somewhat... unique.

"Okay! Don't worry!" After Xia Ling responded, he picked up the magic sword on the table and rushed out of the inn.

"..."

Gu Yuanzhou leaned against the window and watched Xia Ling's departing back.

He didn't close the window until her figure completely disappeared from his sight, blocking out the overly glaring sunlight.

Glancing at the spirit stones and various medicine bottles on the table, the emotion in Gu Yuanzhou's eyes faded visibly.

He walked forward holding onto the wall, put them into the wooden cabinet carefully, and then, as if he had lost his strength, he slid down the wall.

He felt ashamed of his junior sister's one-sided dedication.

But the funny thing is that even if he gave up everything, he would not be able to repay this favor.

Now, the only thing he can do is probably to serve as a witness and testify for her, which is a trivial thing.

Besides...what else can he do?

"Ah……"

A self-deprecating laugh was heard.

Gu Yuanzhou ignored his image and sat on the ground with one leg bent.

He lowered his head, like a white bird stuck in the mud, unable to struggle, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of haze.

Time will pass by unintentionally.

When Xia Ling hurried back to Guyun City, it was already completely dark.

It was probably around midnight.

The front yard of the inn is closed, and if you want to go in, you have to trouble the waiter to watch over the door.

For fear of attracting other people's attention, Xia Ling gave up the idea and walked to the back door of the inn, preparing to climb over the wall and then sneak into the inn quietly.

The main idea is to come quietly and leave quietly without disturbing anyone.

suddenly!

A voice that pretended to be gentle but could not hide its coldness sounded faintly.

"Where have you been? You're back so late."

Xia Ling, who was about to climb over the wall, was startled and turned stiffly towards the sound. He saw Jiang Ci leaning against the branch of the only old tree outside the courtyard.

He was dressed in purple, with his black hair falling messily on his shoulders, and he was lying on his side with one hand supporting his head. He looked lazy and his posture was casual.

The moonlight shone on his body through the narrow cracks in the night, making his golden eyes look even more dazzling, just like the stars in the sky.

It is true that: The moon is the fairy in the sky, and you are the most beautiful woman on earth.

It's quite nice. If the full score is 100, Xia Ling would definitely give it 101 points.

But now is not a good time to admire the beauty of my senior brother.

Xia Ling gave an awkward but polite smile, "I didn't go anywhere. But you, Fourth Senior Brother, why are you still not asleep so late?"

He would take off the white veil that covered his eyes when no one was around, so that his pair of golden pupils would still shine in the night, but at this moment Xia Ling would rather he covered his eyes.

At least this way I won't see that look in his eyes that says 'you'd better tell the truth'.

Xia Ling thought for less than two seconds before deciding to tell the truth. "I just went to meet a friend! I met him in Yinmiao Sect before."

If it was just a simple Fifth Senior Brother, he would believe whatever she said.

But it’s different for the fourth senior sister. Her lame lie would probably be exposed immediately as soon as it came out of her mouth.

It is better to put it out in the open to avoid having to cover up lies later.

Jiang Ci didn't show any emotion, and didn't ask any more questions: "Guyun City is a bit chaotic, try to come back earlier next time."

Hmm? Just let it go like this?

Xia Ling was delighted and quickly responded, "Okay!"

Fourth Brother is a very nice person!

He wanted to find an excuse to slip away, but Xia Ling suddenly remembered the doubts that had been lurking in his heart since yesterday.

He raised his hand to set up a soundproofing array, then looked up at Jiang Ci.

"Fourth Brother, you can also see the light emanating from the raw stone, right?"

He also used the words 'you too' that day, probably because he could see it himself.

However, she observed at that time and found that in addition to her, Sister Jiang seemed to be able to see the various colorful lights emitted by the raw stones.

But other passers-by, including the fifth brother, should not be able to tell the difference at all.

"..."

Jiang Ci put away his lazy attitude and jumped down from the tree.

He stood a few steps away from Xia Ling and pointed at his eyes. "I benefit from this pair of eyes, and you..."

And what about her?

Could it be that her eyes also have some special abilities?

Xia Ling saw that he stopped talking halfway. Originally, she was just asking out of curiosity, but now she was eager to know the answer.

At this moment, she just wants to advise the whole world: Don't keep people in suspense!
