Fated Marriage: Underworld Boss Comes - C72
I persuaded Zhou Xi Xi to rest in her room for a while longer before heading to Xia Mingyuan’s room.
“Master!”
I softly called from the door and heard Xia Mingyuan entering before daring to open the door to enter.
“Sit down.”
When I walked in, I found Xia Mingyuan was reading again, and I noticed that he had been reading too much lately, even when he was eating.
Although he had read a lot in the past, he was far from being as exaggerated as he was now.
“Last night, I thought about it carefully. Although the Fang family has already broken the Fang family line, we have a rough understanding of each other’s background. Both of us have a mutual understanding, and they will definitely come again.”
“Come? What is it? Do you mean they’ll come back to my house? ”
After Xia Mingyuan carefully thought about it, Gina had already been exposed. Although no one would believe it if it was told to the police, to mages, they all had their own circles. Since Jenna had just become a demon, he still needed a lot of elixirs and magic items. Some things that couldn’t be done by himself would definitely be bought from the mages in the circle.
For the time being, he had not told his friends about Gina. He was luring Gina to silence him.
“Gina knows that as long as I’m alive, his position as a demon will be in danger. He’ll definitely think of a way to get rid of me.”
I didn’t know what Xia Mingyuan was planning, but he seemed very confident. I nodded, hoping that things would go as he said.
“Then, Master, should I prepare something?”
Xia Mingyuan thought about it for a moment, then handed the cinnabar mirror to me.
“Feng Tian Yu was punished when he returned to the underworld last night. Chu Tiangran is still uncertain of his injuries, and neither the Twin Pendants nor the Parasol Tree Array have any way of ensuring your safety. So you should keep the red mirror on you at all times, understand?”
I nodded my head as I knew that Xia Mingyuan’s idea was extremely dangerous. Just as I was about to receive the cinnabar hand, I withdrew it.
“What will you do if I take the cinnabar mirror?”
Xia Mingyuan shook his head, indicating that he didn’t mind, and forced the cinnabar mirror into my hands.
“Remember, keep it safe. Alright, you can go now. I’ll read the book again.”
I nodded and left his room.
Xia Mingyuan’s constant reading reminded me, and I went back to my room to take out the book I had been reading. I had previously relied on the small spell I learned in the hospital to escape calamity.
I followed Xia Mingyuan to read, and after dinner I watched for a while. Zhou Xi pestered me for a while before I went to bed.
I didn’t sleep well last night, and I’ve been reading all day, so I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow. I thought I would be able to sleep more comfortably tonight, but I had the same dream as last night.
I started sweating profusely once again, carefully observing Zhou Xi in the darkness. If it was just one night like this, then I could understand that I was being too careful, but this kind of situation had already occurred for two whole nights already.
I shook my head and decided not to sleep. I took my book and cell phone and went into the living room. As soon as he turned on the light, Xia Mingyuan opened the door and walked out.
I looked at the phone in my hand and realised that it was already 4 in the morning. It was already so late.
“Teacher, why are you still up so late?”
Xia Mingyuan carefully observed my expression and felt that it was a bit haggard. When he saw that I was still holding the book in my hand, he thought that I had been reading for a long time …
“Every morning at this time, I have to get up and do morning lessons.”
I nodded. I thought he was still awake, but I didn’t think he was.
“Your expression doesn’t seem to be very good. Don’t read too late either. Pay attention to your body.”
I was about to tell Xia Mingyuan about my dream, but I stopped myself. Isn’t saying these words the same as suspecting happiness?
Originally, she was already suspected because of the record, but if Xia Mingyuan were to investigate and find out that I was being overly suspicious, I would probably never have the face to meet anyone again.
“Alright Master, I understand. Rest assured.”
Xia Mingyuan nodded, and without another word, he returned to his room.
Xia Mingyuan and I were reading at home and waiting for Gina to come to our door. But how can everything be as we expected?
We waited at home for a week, but no one came, and according to Xia Mingyuan’s conjecture, Gina had a special pill that he should have consumed a long time ago, and hadn’t bought it from any mage.
“Master, do you think he’ll find someone else to buy it for him?”
Xia Mingyuan shook his head. He was naturally worried about this problem, so he had long since instructed the mages in the cities to distribute the ammunition, as well as his own informants. They had even informed the black market that this ammunition was not to be sold during this period of time.
“Then what happened?”
While Xia Mingyuan and I were deep in thought, Zhou Xi rushed out with his laptop in his arms.
After confirming that she was going to live in my house, Zhou Xi asked her friends to bring her personal belongings over. Now and then, she would ask her colleagues at the police station to give her some information about the case.
“I have something to say.”
Xia Ming had a foreboding look on his face. He didn’t feel like there was anything good to be done, and now that things were not as good as he had expected, he was extremely annoyed and didn’t want to hear about it from her.
After glancing at me, he was prepared to head back to his room and ask a few other Daoists that he was familiar with.
“Don’t go. Wait for me to finish!”
Zhou Xi saw that Xia Mingyuan was about to leave, so he quickly pulled him back, looking extremely nervous. Seeing Zhou Xixi’s expression, it seemed that the matter was indeed rather urgent. Xia Mingyuan finally decided to stay after speaking a few words of persuasion for her.
“What is it?”
“A colleague from the police station recently sent me some cases and asked me to help investigate. I feel that there’s something wrong with these cases and I want you to take a look at them.”
Captain Long had been working with him for a long time, so if he found a case involving ghosts, he would naturally call him. Now that there was no news from Captain Long’s side, it was clear that the case was just an ordinary one.
“In this case, I still believe in Captain Long more.”
Xia Mingyuan’s meaning was that he didn’t want to waste any more time listening to Zhou Xixi, so he casually pointed at me.
Zhou Xi was so infuriated by Xia Mingyuan’s attitude that his brain felt like it was going to suffocate. He could only hold onto his laptop and immediately return to his room. However, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to put more emphasis on the overall situation, so he didn’t force Xia Mingyuan to look at the computer and directly spoke up.
“A lot of female students jumped off a building in a school!”
Hearing this, Xia Mingyuan frowned as if he had thought of something, and he pinched Zhou Xi’s arm.
“All girls?”
