Chapter 108: The past is dead

Views:

Xiao Qingyao is an ectoplasmic superpower. Her superpower is called "The Beacon that Stops Lies" - as long as she stares into someone's eyes, a spherical ectoplasm will float above the person's head, which will change color depending on the truth or falsehood of the words.

silence. The sphere is the primary color of the ectoplasmic body.

The truth. The sphere turns green.

lie. The sphere turns red.

Ambiguous or not involving truth or falsehood, the sphere turns yellow.

When Wu Chan said that he would not take the initiative to retaliate against Xiao Tianqiu's two sons, the "light" above his head turned green. Xiao Qingyao was slightly disappointed because of this.

"I'm tired." Xiao Tianchou said, "Push me back."

Green light.

"Okay father." Xiao Qingyao said.

Behind the small door of the study room is a short corridor.

"This Wu Chan can't stay long." Xiao Tianchou said.

"Kill him?" Xiao Qingyao asked.

"Why should Yao'er ask questions knowingly? If he could be killed, why would he be in such trouble today?" Xiao Tianchou said.

"Then drive him out." Xiao Qingyao said.

"Yeah." Xiao Tianchou nodded.

Xiao Qingyao couldn't remember when her father was only willing to say a few more words to her when she was pushing her away - because then her father would have a legitimate reason not to confront her face to face. eyes, "the beacon that blocks lies" cannot be used.

His father must be defensive and afraid of him. If it weren't for the two unsatisfactory sons who wanted to evade his rights, his father would not reuse him.

Enter the bedroom.

The real maid brought in a glass of milk.

Whenever he spends a lot of energy, it is Xiao Tianqiu's habit to drink a glass of milk, and he will also take a nap afterwards.

The maid helped him get on the bed, and then waited quietly for Xiao Qingyao to leave.

It was also Xiao Tianqiu's habit to hold a naked girl in his arms before he could fall asleep.

Xiao Qingyao said: "Father, I will go out first."

Xiao Tianchou nodded kindly: "Okay."

Yellow light.

Xiao Qingyao held the pillar-shaped door handle in her hand and was about to leave the room. She suddenly asked: "If I had provoked Wu Chan, would my father still ask him to intercede like today?"

Xiao Tianchou said without hesitation: "Silly boy, of course you can."

Xiao Qingyao said: "Thank you, father."

She left the room.

If she was asking her father a question just now, she would be worried that her father would look away or change the subject if he was caught in her eyes. This behavior itself would be the answer and would cause an embarrassing situation between father and daughter, so she turned her back to her father. Ask questions so that your father will speak.

Through the polished cylindrical metal door handle, Xiao Qingyao could see the blurry figure of her father, and—

red light.

Wu Chan came out of the city hall.

Lianrou leaned against the stone pillar at the gate with her arms crossed.

"Wherever you go, I'll take you there."

Wu Chan said: "No need."

Lianrou said: "This is the center of Gate No. 2. You have to walk a long way to go anywhere."

Wu Chan said: "Is it guilt?"

Lianrou took a step forward and looked up at Wu Chan: "Can't we just talk to each other like old friends? We have to carry guns and sticks."

Wu Chan said: "I saw you in the old city."

Lianrou said, "You actually think of someone else as me. I'm sad."

Wu Chan said: "I made no mistake. I saw you in the scarlet phantom sea."

Lianrou's heart tightened: "You, what exactly do you want to say."

Wu Chan said: "In the illusion, I killed you once, and I don't want to kill you a second time. What you said last time in the Gong Family Martial Arts School was right. The old friendship between us has long since ceased to exist."

Lianrou froze on the spot and watched Wu Chan leave.

When Wu Chan returned to the Gong Family Martial Arts School, he was just in time for lunch.

Gong Tiantian said in surprise: "Boss, they released you so quickly?"

Wu Chan asked back: "The city hall didn't take care of my job. You look very disappointed."

Gong Tiantian said: "Yes, they called you over so early in the morning. They should give you lunch anyway. That's the city hall, and their lunch should be unlimited beef."

Wu Chan said: "..."

Gong Yingxue pretended to have a straight face and pinched Gong Jingsheng: "It's all your fault."

Gong Jingsheng pretended to be in pain: "Ouch, ouch, it hurts. My dear, how did I offend you?"

Gong Yingxue said: "Your daughter, a good little girl, only thinks about food. You are not used to it."

Gong Jingsheng said: "What's wrong with eating? No matter how much you eat, you won't gain weight."

Gong Yingxue said: "Whether my daughter grows fat or not, it's up to me."

Gong Jingsheng smiled and said: "Of course, my wife is unparalleled in beauty. If my daughter can inherit one-tenth of her beauty, she should have fun while sleeping."

Gong Yingxue shyly punched her husband's arm: "I hate it. What are you talking about in front of so many people?"

Everyone: So you two still think we are alive! ! !

Her parents suddenly became disgusted, which made Gong Tiantian, a daughter, embarrassed and embarrassed. But what she couldn't bear the most was: "Dad, please tell me clearly, why I only inherited one-tenth of my mother's beauty!"

Wu Chan sat down next to Shen Jin.

"Their family is very happy."

Shen Jin nodded: "Yes."

With just one reply, Wu Chan noticed subtle changes in Shen Jin.

what happened

Before he could think about it, Gan Xiaoyi asked: "Boss, why did the city hall invite you to go? It's definitely not a big deal to let you go in such a short time. But if it's not a big deal, then the scene in the morning would be too scary. "

Wu Chan believed that there was no need to tell the real intention of the city lord Xiao Tianchou, because in many cases, knowing more was not a good thing. He easily made up a white lie: "To put it simply, they knew that I had brought back a lot of good goods from the old city, and they discussed that I must sell the corpse of the evil spirit to the city hall, not to others."

Gan Xiaoyi didn't believe it: "Is it that simple?"

Wu Chan said: "After all, I am the man who split the fangs of a whale-level monster. That's why the morning is so grand."

Gan Xiaoyi said: "Then you agreed?"

Wu Chan said: "Why not?"

Gong Tiantian turned her head and said, "In other words, our allocation has been fulfilled?"

Wu Chan said: "Sell the corpse of the evil spirit and you will have it."

Gong Tiantian said: "Happy!"

The spherical hell mandala next to the stool, with the tips of two petals uncovered above its head, applauded: "Zee-chee-chee-chee!"

Gong Jingsheng said with a smile: "Congratulations to brother Wu for returning from the old city safe and sound, and congratulations to the people in the city hall for being safe and sound this morning."

Wu Chan knew very well that the lie that could deceive Gong Tiantian and Gan Xiaoyi would definitely not be able to deceive Gong Jingsheng.

He said: "Thank you, Brother Gong, and thank you, Brother Gong, for letting me stay temporarily during the corpse wave."

Gong Tiantian said: "Boss, the wave of corpses has passed, why do you still mention this matter?"

She didn't understand Wu Chan's words, but Gong Jingsheng did - Wu Chan already knew about the past events of Gong's martial arts school.

His smile did not change, and he said through Gong Tiantian's words: "Yes, the matter is over. Brother Wu, you don't have to take it to heart anymore."
