Chapter 98: Leaving the Valley(2/2)
"Back. Gone again."
"Where has he gone?" I became a little anxious.
"How do I know? Shouldn't you know better than me?"
He slapped the coffee table next to him, looking very angry.
"I thought... he would come back, and Miss You Ruojun..."
"Shut up! Don't mention her name!" Boyi got angry and glared at us.
Cang Li stood up slowly, and I immediately felt a chilling air around me.
I quickly stood up, walked to Cang Li, and grabbed his sleeve.
"Huh!" Boyi sneered again, seeming to be contemptuous of us.
"Then let's say goodbye first." I pulled Cang Li and turned around to leave the main hall. I happened to meet Ying'er walking in with a tea tray. I smiled at her and turned around to leave.
After leaving Bo Mansion, I felt quite emotional for a while.
What exactly happened in these years?
Cang Li and I walked around the familiar mountain road and returned to the wooden house near Quexian Waterfall. Originally, I wanted to go back to Zhuoyun Xiaozhu, but I saw that Cang Li was reluctant. Maybe there were many sad memories. I was led out consciously, but he still didn't dare to face it. Therefore, I waited with a bit of luck when he arrived at this wooden house that was far inferior to Zhuoyun's small house.
I still pushed open the door of the wooden house with a bit of nervousness. After a brief hesitation, and when I was sure that there was indeed no other life in the house, I crossed the threshold and walked in.
Familiar furnishings, I just flicked away the accumulated dust yesterday. This place has been deserted for a long time.
"A mortal actually lives so close to the entrance of the Demon Realm." Cang Li walked into the house immediately after him and said casually.
"He doesn't know about the entrance to the Demonic Realm, or even the existence of gods and demons."
Cang Li suddenly stopped and turned to look at me, then nodded and said nothing.
"If he hadn't met me, maybe he could have lived a normal life without having to experience so many things beyond his knowledge."
"Or maybe he was killed by the demonic energy at some point." Cang Li added abruptly.
I was speechless for a moment and stopped replying because I remembered the scene when Zhi Fen became a demon. Probably he was not in the cabin at that time.
At nightfall, I couldn't help but return to Bo Mansion. Cang Li didn't follow me, because he really wasn't used to having too many mortals around him.
I knew that person was not in the house, but I suddenly wanted to see another person.
I first sneaked into the sealed courtyards and walked around. Except for the dilapidated scenes overgrown with weeds, there was nothing else. Even the flower beds and walls that were damaged during the original fight had not changed much.
Then, I walked around Boyi's courtyard and found the inner courtyard where many shrubs had been planted. It was also a dilapidated scene, but the courtyard door was not locked.
Not here?
I went to Boyi's former residence and several other courtyards, but found nothing new, except for the courtyard where Boyi lives now. Could it be that he would place her in his own residence?
After making random guesses, I had sneaked into the small courtyard to the southeast. The lights in the main hall had been turned off, and only the east wing still had a glimmer of light. I approached carefully and quietly leaned against the window that was not completely closed.
Although I have cast a concealment spell, I still don't want to make too much noise.
I saw the furnishings in the house through the gap in the window, but soon realized that this should be a woman's room. I turned my gaze, and sure enough I saw Ying'er sitting by the bed sorting clothes.
The east wing is actually occupied by Ying'er, so where does Boyi live?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was movement from the west wing.
I quickly ducked and dived in that direction.
I came to the window of the west wing, but found that there was no light at all, and I couldn't feel the breath of life. Isn't Boyi here?
"elder sister?"
The protruding voice from behind startled me, and I quickly confirmed again that I was indeed casting a spell. But as soon as I turned around, I met Ying'er's eyes, and she could obviously see me.
"Ying'er, can you see me?"
"It's so late, why is sister here?"
I simply removed the hidden curse, but the way she looked at me didn't seem to change.
"I want to come and see an old friend." I didn't know how to explain my intention.
"Sister, why don't you come back during the day?"
"Brother Boyi doesn't seem to welcome me, so I had to come quietly at this time."
"Who do you want to see, sister? I'll take you there. But there aren't many people in the house, including the servants."
"Can we come to your room and talk?"
Ying'er was a little surprised, but still nodded in agreement.
I came to the east wing with her and chatted for a while. She didn't seem to remember those things when she was a child. She only remembered that she was a wandering beggar who was picked up and brought back by Ruyuan and I. But I
I'm really curious as to how she could see me under the concealment spell.
"Ying'er, do you know where Yun Zhong is?" After going around the topic for a few times, I still asked with a bit of luck.
But Ying'er shook her head helplessly and said: "Master Meng left many years ago and didn't say where he was going. Before leaving, he only left me in the care of Master Boyi. I remember that they already had something to say at that time.
We had an argument, and when he left, Hero Boyi seemed very angry. But he was very kind to me, and always took care of me as a young lady in the house."
"Then who else is there in this mansion now?"
"Who do you want to meet, sister?"
"Actually... I don't want to see him, I just want to take a look from a distance."
"Then who does sister want to see?"
I hesitated for a moment and finally said it: "You Ruojun."
"You Ruojun?" Ying'er looked confused, "There is no such person as You Ruojun in this mansion!"
"Isn't there such a person?" I tried to recall the past scene. When Ying'er was sent back by us, it seemed that she had not really met You Ruojun. Could it be that You Ruojun also left?
"Then besides you and Boyi, is there anyone else living in this mansion?"
"The others are just the servants and maids who take care of our food and clothing."
This made me even more confused.
"What about Jishu? Have you heard of this person?"
