Chapter 468: Pretending
It is hard to imagine that these people, who may stab each other at any time, can sit together to eat.
Speaking of which, Elder Chu is now also working part-time as the guardian of Wenren Sejue.
Because the holy places of astrology are all weak, their protection and defense work has always been outsourced to Jueya. This time, when the master of astronomy heard that Chu Yi was also coming to Jiuqu Shuozhou, he quickly sent his son to Jiling, so that he could at least catch a ride with Chu Yi.
So Elder Chu inexplicably got an extra job.
He is not partial. In his eyes, both people are roses with thorns. When someone wants to break them, you have to stop them. When the rose wants to prick someone, you have to adapt to the situation. When the roses want to prick each other, you just have to carefully take out the melon seeds and watch coldly.
At this moment, Wenren Sejue was being bullied by Chu Yi. There was no one behind him and everyone was just watching the show.
When I was in a very embarrassing situation, it was thanks to Zhuanzhuan that he showed up in time.
A piece of rosemary tea cake was carried by the magic energy and gently placed in front of Chu Yi.
The sound of timely rain came.
"I heard that every household in Yueyao Kingdom likes to eat rosemary tea cake during the New Year, so it is called Yueyao Kingdom Cake. I wonder how well the cake I prepared will fare in the eyes of the prince? Is it as good as the one prepared by the imperial kitchen in the palace?"
Whenever Xingjun saw Bu Jinglian, he felt wary that she might be plotted against at any time.
It is true that there is a psychological shadow.
He concluded with experience: "I found that these scheming people are particularly fond of attacking people's hearts, such as Ling Yuanlong and Zhuan Zhuan, who all come up with something to make people nostalgic."
Zhu Jiu deeply agreed with this.
When a person is away from home and suddenly sees the iconic food of his hometown in a distant and unfamiliar place, many memories will inevitably emerge in his mind.
Especially for someone like Chu Yi who lives a happy and fulfilling life in the royal family.
A question arose in Xingjun's mind.
Then again, his mother was gentle, his father was kind, there was only one empress, Yueyao, in the harem, Chu Yi had only one biological sister, and all the people loved their genius little prince...
So why does Chu Yi, who was born in a happy family, have such a mean and arrogant personality?
Zhu Jiu: "He has it, but the problem is that he hasn't enjoyed it."
He was sent to the cliff before he had even crawled on the ground for a few days. Lacking family love, his personality is always a little abnormal.
Back to the point, Chu Yi was indeed attracted by the rosemary tea cake. Although he did not show any nostalgia or surprise, he sat back, tasted a few bites, and said indifferently as usual: "It's okay."
But his hands did not stop, and he showed off one-third of it elegantly and quickly.
Several people:"……"
Zhu Jiu's comment is: "This generation of young people are all pretending, which makes people want to do it."
All in all, Zhuan Zhuan successfully helped Wenren Sejue out of trouble.
When their eyes met, Wenren Sejue saw the sincerity and friendliness in her eyes.
He is familiar with this. Generally speaking, people want to ask him to tell their fortunes, no, astrology.
I appreciate it. I can't help but help a little.
Wenren Sejue never took this seriously, but he was more interested in the other party's "busyness", so he showed a half-hearted smile.
Bu Jinglian felt that she was very lucky. After sitting in the store for a while, she found an opportunity to get close to Wen Ren Se Jue.
……
Bu Jinglian and Yue Shangxian have many conflicts, but it is not worth showing them here, so the two ignore each other.
She also knew that Zhu Jiu had a special identity, so she didn't look down on him as she did when they first met yesterday, and was very polite.
The few of them had just finished their meal, and before they could even waste a moment, they received a series of life-threatening messages from Shuai Guo.
Shuai Guo: Are you there? Are you there?
Zhu Jiu: Not here.
Shuai Guo: Is it time to go inspect the Demon Hunting Department? It's getting late.
This is probably the first case in history where the mindsets of the inspector and the inspected were swapped.
To be honest, apart from wanting to investigate the murderer who carries the Cinder Night Strange Fire, I don't want to go anywhere else.
Zhu Jiu was very confused: Why are you so looking forward to it?
Shuai Guo and Zhu Jiu are old acquaintances who know each other very well. They didn't hide anything and told the truth: I'm not expecting it, it's the people in the union who are anxious. Everyone is trying hard to prepare for the surprise inspection. If you come earlier, they will finish earlier and relax earlier.
Zhu Jiu will definitely not let Shuai Guo down for his sincerity.
She said: I turned on the loudspeaker.
Everybody heard it.
Shuai Guo: ...
Despite Zhu Jiu's painstaking efforts, the situation felt suffocatingly awkward.
Thinking of the romantic scandal between Bu Jinglian and Shuai Guo, Zhu Jiu said secretly: Zhuanzhuan heard it too.
Shuai Guo thought for a moment and said hesitantly: Sister-in-law, it is better not to discuss such confidential matters in front of irrelevant outsiders.
Zhu Jiu didn't say anything. She would not take the initiative to expose someone's true identity, as she believed that one should not do to others what one does not want others to do to you.
If you don’t know, forget it.
Just as he was about to talk about something else, Bu Jinglian sneered: "Who is an outsider? Shuai Xiaoguo, do you know who I am?"
Don't forget that just because she is just passing by, she is a true disciple of the Demon Sect and almost became the chief. She is of the same generation as Chu Yi and others.
Shuai Guo: ...
He hurriedly said: Sister-in-law, I really misjudged you. I put you in my pocket but you kicked me into the ditch!
Then he quickly cut off the message.
Zhu Jiu found it strange. She discovered that Shuai Guo seemed to be quite afraid of Bu Jinglian.
……
After preparing himself mentally ten times, Zhu Jiu still stood with the young man at the Demon Hunter Guild Square. Shuai Guo had been waiting for a long time. When he saw them, his eyes wandered for a moment, as if he was searching for something, probably just looking around.
Only after he discovered that Zhuanzhuan was gone did he breathe a sigh of relief, imperceptibly to the naked eye.
It feels like a scumbag who has done something wrong and is afraid of revenge from his ex-girlfriend.
Zhu Jiu secretly decided to find out the gossip behind this when he had the chance, and then suddenly pointed to a cloud ladder that was descending above.
"Look at the surprise my sister-in-law has prepared for you!"
Shuai Guo looked up and saw Bu Jinglian, who was in high spirits and standing tall on the cloud ladder.
The fiery red lotus blossomed on her dark black clothes, and at first glance it was as if one could see fire breaking through the darkness in the inky abyss.
The two, one up and one down, face each other, as if it is the embodiment of "a glance that lasts a thousand years".
Zhu Jiu felt that the people present were indeed a bit redundant.
After Bu Jinglian stood still, Shuai Guo also came back to his senses. A suspicious blush appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared as if it was an illusion.
"Why are you here?"
"I feel that Yue Shangxian doesn't know how to entertain guests, so I applied to accompany her. The elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect have approved it. What's the problem?"
Um, are we going to arrange this right in front of the waxing moon?
Yue Shangxian glanced at Bu Jinglian indifferently without expressing anything.
It seemed that if his name wasn't in the other person's words, he wouldn't even look at them.
Zhu Jiu thought that one should look at the owner before beating a dog, so he smiled and said, "Nonsense, Yueyue is sincere, friendly and hospitable, we like her the most."
Several people:"……"
Pan An is in the eyes of a cat's lover.
You're not ashamed to tell lies with open eyes!
Elder Chu rolled his eyes, and Wen Ren Se Jue curled his lips sarcastically.
Chu Yi said coldly and sarcastically: "Well, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that there was such a big person."
Only a hint of a smile flashed across the corners of the moon's lips.
……
A group of people entered the Demon Hunting Department. The internal passage was the same as that of the Deduction Department next door. The silver-white corridor was cold and long, with many corners.
Shuai Guo was diligently introducing the internal divisions when an alarm suddenly sounded, echoing throughout the Demon Hunting Department.
Zhu Jiu didn't understand what was going on. Shuai Guo was stunned for a moment and his face changed drastically. "Not good! This is a high-level alert!"
"There must be a demon that has escaped control and disappeared in the Demon Hunting Department!"
Without saying a word, he rushed out. Zhu Jiu and the others followed him in a daze. However, when they reached the door, they saw that the isolation formation was fully activated and no one could get out.
Shuai Guo held his head and sighed, "It's over. In order to prevent the demons from escaping and causing casualties, the Demon Hunting Department has been sealed off."
