"Let's go, one old and one young, we'll go meet those evil spirits." The old woman smiled as she bent down and held Gu Qingyi's hand. Her palms were warm, and the calluses on her hands made her palms tingle. Gu Qingyi didn't know why, but she suddenly felt safe as she held onto her hands like this.
"I …" This was a feeling that he had never experienced before, not even when he was by his master's side.
Her master had raised her up and taught her wholeheartedly.
However, he was a man after all, and he had a strange temperament. He had always been cold and detached. Even though he protected his little brother, he had never spoken a kind word. Every time he felt wronged or bullied, he would mock and ridicule him and secretly beat up those people who bullied him, but he would never mention about it in front of him.
Sometimes, even if he took the initiative to ask, he would only vaguely take it and pretend that nothing had happened.
For a long time she thought this was the way to express her feelings. After that, when he met that person and that person did not conceal his actions at all, it would be impossible for him to not be shocked.
Perhaps it was because of this that he was able to step into the trap set up for him, step by step, without him knowing it.
And at this moment, a pair of calluses were holding their hands. This sort of firmness …
"It's not early anymore. Should we leave it at this hour?" With a smile, Gu Qingyi did not refuse. She knew that she really needed help, that she did have a lot of evil spirits that she needed to clear out. In her previous life, she had been instigated by these people to take a step at a time into the dead end, and since the heavens had given her the chance to come again, she would definitely not repeat the same mistake again.
And this old man was the first step.
However, it was getting late, and she had plenty of time, so she was in no hurry.
The fact that that man had not appeared today already showed that everything had changed, so she could slowly scheme.
"It's better to choose than to strike. With this old servant here, little miss need not be afraid."
"Then, alright."
It was as though she had long been waiting for him to appear. Seeing how determined the old woman was, Gu Qingyi didn't persist any longer.
Furthermore …
To be honest, she was a little nervous in her heart. Even now, the little girl still hadn't returned. She was a little worried that Gu Xi would see through her.
But thinking about it, it shouldn't be possible. No matter how amazing Gu Xi was, she was just a child that had just turned ten …
"Are you telling me or not!?" What benefits did Gu Qingyi give you to harm Young Master Xi? If you say it obediently, then ignore what happened today. Not only will I not punish you, I will even heavily reward you. "
Lian Feng Yue suppressed the anger in her heart. With a smile that she thought was kind, she looked at the little girl kneeling on the ground. In order to not alert her, she didn't immediately go find Gu Xi, but had someone bring the little girl back from secretly giving gifts to Gu Xi. However, she didn't expect this little girl to be so young, only five or six years old.
"No, little miss didn't ask me to harm Young Master Xi." The little girl straightened her back and kneeled on the ground. However, there was no fear in her eyes as she directly met with Feng Yue's gaze. Her black and white eyes were filled with appraisal.
"No?" Without it, what did you send Young Master Xi? "
He thought that she was just a little girl, so he coaxed her for a bit before obediently opening his mouth. However, he didn't expect her to be so stubborn. Lian Feng Yue's expression instantly darkened as she gnashed her teeth while glaring at her.
