Adam asked Xia Shao to guess whether Hu Jiayi learned black magic or white magic in the UK. Xia Shao was too lazy to guess the reborn genius magic stick. Adam is a more convoluted person than Gong Muyun. To do one thing, there are eighteen twists and turns. Fortunately, Gong Muyun understood her temperament. The two of them usually talked or met and greeted her like old friends. Gong Muyun often went straight to the topic and rarely went around her. And Adam obviously didn't know enough about Xia Shao's character. She didn't like to be plotted by others, and she didn't like to be controlled by others.
When Xia Shao heard what Adam said, her expression turned cold. She didn't even guess, she looked directly at Hu Jiayi and asked, "What did you learn?"
Adam raised his eyebrows lightly, and there was a surprised and strange light in his blue eyes. It was obviously surprising that after so many years, it was rare to meet someone whose thinking and pace were not influenced by him during conversations.
Hu Jiayi's face was as white as paper because she heard about the grievances between Xuanmen and the Adam family. She came back to her senses when she heard Xia Shao's voice and said, "I, I have learned both."
Um
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows. Hu Jiayi took Adam back to Qingshi for the New Year. It is obvious that the relationship between the two is extraordinary. Xia Shao also saw that Hu Jiayi had a crush on Adam. Although she had only been studying for half a year, she couldn't tell which sect he was from. But Xia Shao had already guessed in her heart that she was learning black magic. Otherwise, she would not have met Adam only half a year after going to England, and she would not have a good relationship with him to bring him back for the New Year.
But Xia Shao really didn't expect that she would learn both.
"When I first arrived at school, there was a talent test, and it turned out that I was one of the few people who could learn both kinds of witchcraft. In the past six months, I have learned a little bit of both," Hu Jiayi said.
Xia Shao frowned slightly. She didn't know much about the talent for learning witchcraft, but she also knew that it was rare to be able to learn both black and white witchcraft.
Adam smiled and nodded, "Yes. Half a year ago, when Yi Xin entered school, I was one of the people who was shocked. What I want to say to Miss Xia is that Yi's talent is rare, even in my family. In my memory, we can only learn one sect of witchcraft since we are born. Our qualifications and talents are innate and cannot be changed. In my family's thousand-year history, there are only two people with talents like Yi. One of them is currently He is still alive as Albert Raphael Obikris.”
Albert Raphael Obikris—the old head of the Obikris family! An old wizard who was awarded the title of earl by the British royal family and a respected master of white witches.
This news shocked Xia Shao, but she also felt that after Adam said so much, this sentence should be the real topic!
"This is the secret of our family, and only those of our black witch lineage know it. The Earl began to study black witchcraft when he was thirty years old, and has been unable to extricate himself since then. His enthusiasm for black witchcraft surpasses everything else. He is a European The famous master of white witchcraft, but black witchcraft is even more powerful than my father. He is a genius that the Obikris family has never seen before. All the witchcraft recorded in the family's ancient library, he has been around for nearly half a century. The research in Lidu has been completed, but there is only one legendary necromancy technique that is the most powerful in the world. Miss Xia must not know that the person who ordered my father to lead the tribe to besiege and kill the founder of the noble sect was the old earl. For this reason This black magic parchment has traveled to Southeast Asia."
Xia Shao was shocked when she heard this, but there was no expression on her face. She just raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? Really."
"I don't need to lie to Miss Xia. I also know that Miss Xia will not believe what I say. You will definitely investigate whether what I say is true. Therefore, if I tell the truth, I am not afraid of your investigation." Adam He lowered his eyes and smiled, his long eyelashes covering his eyes, and his voice sounded a bit deep.
"Back then, my father was ordered to participate in the siege in order to get this parchment. But it failed in the end. Mr. Tang lost his trace. Master Tongmi gave my father a discount on the parchment and only gave him This parchment is written in Hebrew, so it is very difficult to study. This defect makes it even more difficult to study. In the past ten years, the old earl has sent my father and generals to The Master of Esotericism contacted him many times and offered many benefits but could not get back the half of the scroll. In the past ten years, because of studying the necromancy on the parchment scroll, the old earl had become mentally crazy. He started from three years ago He had not seen anyone else before. The outside world thought that he was old and unwell. In fact, only we knew that he had fallen into madness and wanted to develop necromancy before his death. Apart from this incident, he had no knowledge of the outside world. I don’t care anymore.”
Adam's voice was a little low, and he didn't frown, but Xia Shao could feel the change in his mood.
Somewhat heavy.
heavy? Xia Shao's expression remained motionless, his eyes meaningful.
If what Adam said was true, he was just telling her that his father was not the mastermind of what happened back then. The mastermind is the head of the Obikris family. The fact that he was able to tell her the family secrets and push the old earl out showed that he didn't have much affection for the old earl.
Since he has no emotions, what makes him heavy
Xia Shao always felt that this news seemed to be that Adam wanted to alleviate his father's crime, but she always felt that there was something hidden behind his purpose.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Adam, for telling family secrets to an outsider like me." Xia Shao's expression did not change greatly from beginning to end.
Adam raised his eyes and just smiled, as if he couldn't hear Xia Shao's sarcasm, and only said: "I still said the same thing, that is my father's reborn genius."
"Although the mastermind cannot be forgiven, the crime of Eagle Dog may not be light. What do you think?" Xia Shao glanced at Adam and stood up, "It was Jiayi who brought you here today. I will give Jiayi face and not do anything to you." . But I hope you leave as soon as possible, otherwise I can’t guarantee whether I will break my promise this time.”
After saying that, Xia Shao pulled Xu Tianyin over and the two were about to leave.
"Xiao Shao..." Hu Jiayi stood up at this time, walked out of her seat, came over to hold Xia Shao's hand, bit her lip and said: "I'm sorry, I don't know these things... but my parents thought you would go home for dinner at noon today. , they have been preparing since yesterday. Can you... can you go? "
Hu Jiayi's words sounded very complicated, but she gave Xia Shao a serious look. After all, they were good friends in high school. They had been together for two years. As soon as Xia Shao looked at Hu Jiayi's eyes, she knew that she had something to say to her. So, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "Okay. One thing comes to one, it's better not to let your parents work in vain."
Hu Jiayi nodded desperately and glanced at Xia Shao gratefully. Only then did Liu Xianxian stand up from the side. She had just said a lot, but she didn't understand a word of it, and now her expression was the most baffling.
At this time, Xia Shao was not in the mood to explain. Seeing that it was noon, she agreed to go to Hu's house for lunch.
Hu Jiayi originally drove to the airport to pick up Xia Shao today. One car was just enough for several people, but Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin took a car to follow behind and did not want to sit with Adam. Hu Jiayi's face turned bitter, but she drove ahead and led the way without saying anything.
Xia Shao had been to the Hu family's villa before. It was Hu Jiayi's birthday. That night, Xia Shao had a fight with Yan Laosan and even set up a feng shui bureau near the Hu family's villa. This feng shui bureau has not been solved, and it has been in the Hu family for the past few years.
When they arrived at Hu's house, Hu Guangjin and his wife welcomed them out warmly. When they saw Xu Tianyin coming, they were surprised and a little at a loss, so they quickly invited them in to entertain them. The atmosphere at lunch was quite good. Except for Xu Tianyin, everyone else can act.
It was not the first time Hu Guangjin had seen Xu Tianyin's coldness, so he didn't take it to heart. Xia Shao and Hu Jiayi's mother were chatting very animatedly, and they couldn't understand what happened in the morning. Naturally, Hu Jiayi didn't want her parents to worry. Although her smile was a little unnatural, she could still act well. Where the acting was unnatural, Liu Xianxian smoothed things over from the side, constantly enlivening the atmosphere and drawing the attention of Hu Guangjin and his wife to her. But she tried to smooth things over, but Hu Jiayi and Adam never interacted during the meal, which still aroused doubts between Hu Guangjin and his wife.
"Look at you, you invite friends to your home for dinner, and you don't know how to treat them well?" Mother Hu glared at Hu Jiayi, and then used a pair of new chopsticks to put food into Adam's bowl. It was obvious that Adam was quite charming. , even women of Hu’s age were killed.
Hu Guangjin obviously also liked Adam, and smiled at Xia Shao: "This is a friend Jiayi met in England, the nephew of the old Count Obi Kris."
"I've seen it before." Xia Shao nodded and smiled naturally.
After finishing the meal, Mother Hu said: "You guys have been flying all morning, are you tired? The rooms have been opened for you. Go and have a rest and talk again in the afternoon. Lao Hu and I prepared Western food in the evening. "
Originally, Xia Shao planned to stay in Qingshi for two days and stay one night at Hu Jiayi's house to have fun. This was agreed with the Hu family in advance. Hu Guangjin and his wife had already prepared the room, and even prepared the dinner menu a few days ago.
Xia Shao didn't say much after hearing this. She just nodded and thanked Hu's mother with a smile, and then went upstairs with Xu Tianyin.
Sure enough, after a while, Hu Jiayi knocked on the door and entered the house.
Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin were sitting on the sofa in front of the window drinking tea. Seeing Hu Jiayi come in, Xia Shao smiled and sighed, "Come and sit. You really gave me a surprise this time."
Hu Jiayi was already very conflicted. After hearing this, she bit her lip and looked remorseful, "I'm sorry, Xiao Shao. I didn't know that your master had a grudge against Adam's family."
"I didn't tell you. He who doesn't know is not guilty." Xia Shao smiled, stood up and pulled Hu Jiayi over, asking her to sit opposite Xu Tianyin. He handed her the tea and was silent for a while before saying: "I heard When you arrived in the UK, you never told your family what happened at school. What, the school is very strict? "
Hu Jiayi hugged the tea cup and nodded, "It's very strict, the boarding system. You can't leave the school, and people are watching you when you make phone calls. You don't know, the atmosphere there... is very dull, even more boring than when we were in high school. And the control is very strict."
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, then lowered her eyes and smiled, "I remember you said at the beginning that you were going to England to pursue your dreams and freedom. But now it doesn't sound like you are very free."
"Yeah." Hu Jiayi nodded, "It's quite different from what I imagined. I used to be just interested in Western mysticism and wanted to know more about it. But only when I got to school did I realize that it was not like that at all. In my case, In the eyes of those classmates, learning witchcraft is a very serious matter. There are very few Orientals in the school, and even if the British want to study in the school, not everyone can get in. I learned about this school before At that time, I only knew that it was the only wizard school in the world, but after I went there, I realized that this school was run by members of the Obikris family."
Xia Shao was not surprised by this. Apart from members of this family, were there any other families in Europe who had this qualification? Besides, in modern times, wizarding schools sound like entertainment for the public. How can the government issue a school license to someone who has no background
"But the Obikris family has a system of inheritance from generation to generation, and only their own people can learn advanced witchcraft. Most of the students in the school are witchcraft enthusiasts, and the teacher is a member of the Obikris family, Adam... He is my friend, but he is also my mentor in black magic. Because of my high talent, I could learn both black and white magic during the entrance test, so I met Adam and received his personal guidance. I I have known Adam for half a year and met his father once. His father is a very gentleman and kind old man. He has a very different impression from the dark wizard. I originally thought that I would give you a surprise, but I didn’t know..." Hu Jiayi He lowered his head, feeling depressed.
"Kind people may not make mistakes, and kind people can also be killers." Xia Shao smiled, looked at Hu Jiayi, and remembered the carefree girl in high school who dressed up as a little witch on her birthday. She was the only daughter in the Hu family, and Hu Guangjin and his wife taught her well, and she did not have the arrogance and squeamishness that often characterizes rich daughters. What she saw in her was her sincerity for her friends and her pursuit of ideals. But unfortunately, she was too well protected and too innocent after all, "Jiayi, I can see that you like Adam, right?"
Hu Jiayi suddenly raised her head, her cheeks suddenly flushed, but then she shook her head violently, "That's not why I said good things about black wizards to you. What I said is what I saw! When I was in school, I taught white witchcraft The tutors in the school feel much more proud. The Obikris family will select three outstanding students in the school to work for them every year. Although they are only peripheral personnel, the benefits are great and the competition is fierce. My talent has been obtained I have received a lot of attention, and many people have regarded me as a stumbling block. In the past six months, if Adam had not been with me often, I might have... been plotted against me countless times. He is really powerful! Because he reminds me every time, I learned a lot of tricks to protect myself from witchcraft.”
When Hu Jiayi talked about Adam's greatness, she smiled unconsciously, feeling a little excited, a little longing, and a little grateful. Xia Shao raised her eyebrows in understanding.
When she was in Qingshi No. 1 Middle School, Hu Jiayi was considered a beauty in the eyes of boys. She was indifferent to how many young men from Qingshi Quan pursued her. This time it seems that he has ignorant feelings for Adam, but how much of this feeling is really between a man and a woman
Hu Jiayi didn't notice, she still said: "Because of this, we became friends. When I learned about you in school, I told him..."
And told him...
Hu Jiayi didn't say anything. She just said this and her expression changed! The ground turned pale.
She sat on the sofa in a daze and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin looked at each other, but Hu Jiayi stood up with a huff, her face turned pale, and her voice became deeper, "Xiao Shao, I remembered something important, I'm going to go out first!"
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Xia Shao looked at the closed door and thought for a while, but did not open her eyes.
Hu Jiayi left Xia Shao's room, turned around in the corridor, and came to a room. She opened the door and walked in without knocking!
In the room, Adam was also sitting on the sofa in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside the Hu family villa. He said he was looking at the scenery, but the place where his eyes fell was exactly where Xia Shaobu's peach wood exorcism formation was used. Hu Jiayi opened the door and came in angrily. Adam turned his head to look at her. He just sighed at her impolite behavior of coming in without knocking. He always had a flawless smile with a hint of helplessness and joked: "Fortunately I didn't sleeping."
Hu Jiayi ignored his joke and looked straight at him. She had always been carefree, but now she had mixed emotions in her eyes, including anger, hurt, and disbelief, "Adam, you used me?!"
Adam didn't seem surprised by her question or her mood at the moment. He just sat on the sofa and looked at her with a faint smile.
"I told you a lot about Xiao Shao. She is my friend, and I also regard you as a friend. I thought she was a Feng Shui master and you were a wizard. You will also become very good friends! But, you You didn’t tell me about the grudge between the family and the Xiaoshao Master Sect, and you agreed when I said I would take you back to see her. You just wanted to see her, and you used me to get close to her?!" Hu Jiayi stared angrily. Adam's eyes were filled with hurt. For half a year in England, he was her mentor, but he guarded her like a knight. Witchcraft and all the conspiracies against her were because of his presence and had never affected her. Because of his presence, she could learn her favorite witchcraft with the purest heart. During the past six months, she had always maintained her original heart and was not polluted by the environment. She is still the same person, she was once lucky to have him.
However, if all of this was a lie and was deliberately used for today, how could she feel so embarrassed!
"What is your purpose? Let me tell you, I will not allow you to hurt my friends! Absolutely not!" Hu Jiayi said angrily.
Adam sat on the sofa and looked at Hu Jiayi's red eyes quietly without saying a word. It wasn't until she had finished venting her anger that he lowered his eyes and smiled. The light outside shone on the side of his face, half of which was in shadow, making it difficult to see clearly.
