Chapter 262 [Qi Jingchun is shocked]
For some reason, it has been raining frequently in the town recently, and the temperature difference is extremely large. It seems that something has changed.
It may be sunny one moment and raining the next.
The sunshower was very heavy, coming and going quickly, which was different from the small town.
It was cloudy and rainy in the early morning.
The girl had a good sleep last night, without any nightmares. She was in a good mood after waking up.
It has been three days since Li Chengqian left that day.
I don’t know where he went.
She was not in a hurry and didn't look for it.
The contract is still there, which means everything is safe.
There's no point worrying.
Moreover, now she had an inexplicable fear of that unfathomable young man from the bottom of her heart.
The contract was probably partly the reason, but more of it was due to his changes.
The most obvious thing is that the character of the mind has changed.
Chen Pingan used to be kind-hearted, but of course, that kindness could also be seen as useless.
Nice to everyone.
But it is different now. He is a little more cold and solemn.
That kind young man seemed to be gone forever, and now he has become cruel and ruthless.
Zhigui suspected that the disappearance of the locust tree might be closely related to him.
You can't say this casually.
As long as the contract exists, she is God's pet and cannot be separated from it.
Unless the young man is willing to terminate the contract.
The rain is not heavy and it is cool, so there is no need to bring an umbrella.
Early in the morning, the girl woke up early, walked across the alley, and visited the small shops on Xinghua Lane.
I bought some fresh vegetables. As for the rest, although I didn’t buy anything, I was still in a good mood.
Jumping all the way, happy and light.
Dragons have a very long lifespan. Compared to humans, they still haven't reached adulthood even after a thousand years.
The nature of the mind is naturally different.
Relatively speaking among humans, Zhigui has just reached adulthood this year.
It's not surprising that this child behaves like this.
She grew up in the countryside, like a girl with the scent of green grass. Her style was completely different from those ladies from wealthy families who lived in high-roofed houses and deep courtyards.
After buying some things, I entered Niping Lane. It was still early and there were almost no people around at this time.
In the small town, Zhigui has never been able to fit in with those people and prefers to be alone.
To the people in the small town, it is naturally unpopular.
Turning the corner, she saw the scholar in Confucian robes standing with his hands behind his back, obviously waiting for him here.
"Why are you looking for me if you don't teach in the private school? Isn't it better to keep your distance?"
The cheerful mood that was bouncing around disappeared in an instant, and his brows furrowed, showing a little more anger.
She hated those who couldn't beat her the most.
If you can beat him, there is no need to hate him, just kill him.
Qi Jingchun, the only scholar in the town, a serious Confucian scholar, dressed in a long gown, looked at the girl in front of him.
The girl spoke coldly:
"Whether you want to fight or preach, hurry up. I'll take over."
She is still the same, not changed at all, the middle-aged scholar sighed.
"Chen Ping'an seems to have disappeared from the town, and his life or death is unknown. Did you do this?"
The girl had a basket of vegetables on her arm. The vegetables inside were very fresh and covered with dew, obviously having been picked just this morning.
He tilted his head and laughed sarcastically, "Do you think I did it? After all, he is just an ordinary person. Whether he lives or dies, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, Mr. Qi, right?"
The scholar, who was always in a good mood, frowned slightly and stared at the girl in front of him, obviously feeling a little angry.
"Yes, I did it. His meat was delicious and I ate it. So, you want to avenge him and kill me?
Actually, if you want to kill me, you don't need to find any reason. It's a waste of time."
Very angry.
Mr. Qi, whom the girl mentioned, did not take action immediately because of a word.
Although the girl was very angry, she would not eat anyone.
He could judge what was true and what was false. However, there was indeed no trace of Chen Pingan in the entire town.
Leaving the town would be impossible.
"You seem to care about him a lot." Zhigui looked up, and the sky was filled with raindrops. "If I had known that you cared, I should have killed him."
Qi Jingchun suddenly smiled, "I now believe that it is not you, but since you have a contract with him, there are some things you still need to think carefully about."
"I don't need you to teach me!" the girl said coldly, "You should think about it yourself, how to use your saintly heart to save the town from the backlash of heaven. I think you are a fool, maybe you will stand up for it."
Mr. Qi smiled slightly, shook his head, and spoke with the most hateful words, with a hint of dissuasion.
Of course, he understood the subtle hint of advice in the girl's words.
The middle-aged scholar stood with his hands behind his back, and the raindrops fell on his face, feeling cold and icy.
"I came here today for another reason. I advise you to be more careful after you escape from this cage. It will not benefit anyone.
Especially after you and him embark on the path of cultivation, whether you become a pair of Taoist companions or not, you should restrain your sharpness and not act arrogantly.
This is not a threat, but some heartfelt words from me at the time of parting, and can be regarded as a kind reminder. "
"Then I thank you for your advice!"
The girl's voice was cold.
Who wants to be his Taoist partner?
She is still a maid now.
Next, if they couldn't agree on anything, they would just fight.
Zhigui had long wanted to beat up this middle-aged scholar.
I know I may not win, but I still feel uneasy.
When you are alive, there are some fights that you just have to have.
Even if I can't beat him.
Facts have proved that this shameless Confucian scholar is indeed very powerful.
She lost.
"You have a contract with Chen Pingan, so you naturally know whether he is alive now. Give me the answer."
"Dead!" She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said hatefully.
Hearing this, the scholar smiled.
However, amid the continuous rain, that smile suddenly faded.
He also put down his hands that were standing behind his back.
The girl bent down to pick up the scattered vegetable leaves on the ground and carefully put them into the basket. When she looked up, she saw Mr. Qi, who looked as if he was facing a great enemy, and her heart was shocked.
Looking behind him, a young man in white was standing there quietly.
The continuous drizzle did not touch him, as if he was avoiding something strange.
He just stood there, giving people the feeling that he was close at hand, yet far away in the horizon, very unreal.
What's even more terrifying is that the two of them didn't even notice when he arrived.
The same is true when looking at Mr. Qi Da's reaction.
In the alley, the atmosphere suddenly froze.
For a moment, there was silence.
"Chen Pingan?"
Qi Jingchun looked the person in front of him up and down and was shocked.
Just now, he didn't realize when Chen Pingan arrived.
There was not a trace of breath fluctuation, silently, coming and going without a trace.
To others, this would not be strange.
However, with his current level of cultivation as a saint, he was not aware of this at all.
That's not right.
Very wrong.
They say ghosts move silently, but there are traces to follow.
If a ghost approaches, he will notice it from ten miles away.
But this person...
Chen Ping'an is still Chen Ping'an, but it seems he is no longer the same person.
"you……"
The middle-aged scholar frowned and remained silent, thinking for a moment.
