The Spirit World

Chapter 584: Forced Cause and Effect

【Flandar City】

The evening sun is so soft that it seems to be about to melt in an instant, diving below the horizon to greet the moon.

"You are such a joker, little girl." The man in the black hat became happier and even laughed happily: "You have been arguing with me for so long just to tell me, a poor fellow who has not yet bought the product and is watching the product disappear before my eyes, not to buy things from the buyer again."

"He's a thief! He's a thief! I told you! As long as you don't buy, no one will steal valuable things to sell! The source of the goods is unknown! Do you understand? I have told you many times! This is not a legitimate transaction! There are no buyers who buy things through improper channels! There will be no one who steals and sells! I am advising you!"

Chen Lin almost gritted her teeth as she looked at the man in front of her who was wearing a top hat and laughing. The man had white hair and long sideburns.

Only then did Chen Lin really notice his appearance. He did not have a ferocious look, but rather an ordinary look. He was even more handsome than others, or in other words, he had an elegance created by his exquisite attire.

"Ah... Although you said so much, I didn't buy it... Right, I have nothing now~" The man propped his cane on his legs, opened his palm with interest, and looked at the woman who was still arguing: "As long as I didn't buy it, why do you have a reason to teach me a lesson... I don't understand your logic~"

Although he said he didn't understand what Chen Lin said, the man was still laughing, and the more he looked at Chen Lin's angry expression, the happier he laughed.

But the smile was without showing any teeth, which made Chen Lin even angrier.

"Ah! Don't you people have any sense of self-awareness? Buying other people's stolen things, don't you have an even a little bit of shame and conscience?" Chen Lin hammered his palm hard, while Bai Cai listened helplessly and started eating the instant noodles he took out of his schoolbag.

It opened the bucket of noodles, tore open the oil packet, vegetable packet, and salt packet, looked at the two people who were still arguing, placed its palm on the bucket surface, and a column of scalding water slowly flowed from its palm onto the noodles. It sighed, covered the noodles with oil paper, propped up its handsome cat face, and lay on the roof with its legs crossed. The water from the instant noodles slowly rose into the sky, and slowly and silently set along with the sunset.

"Ah~ It was stolen~ But that person didn't say it was stolen~ How do you know that it's yours? I thought you were chasing him because you were his friend... If you were their accomplice, then it would make sense~"

The man in the suit said something rude and scary: "If you are not his accomplice, why don't you chase him now? Instead of teaching a poor fellow like me a lesson here? It's really bad. The thief is crying thief."

Chen Lin stared at the man in the suit, and the wind seemed to freeze because of her stare. But the man in the suit didn't buy it at all, or rather, it was inconsistent with his behavior of scolding Gorman just now. He was now completely a gentleman with a cold face and a fake smile. Now he looked like a scary person with three faces.

At that time, Chen Lin was not so angry anymore. She felt that it was completely unreasonable. Telling such a person that there was no buying and selling and no killing was simply nonsense. He would even feel sorry that he didn't buy it.

"You are just a woman. My father told me to stay away from unreasonable women. Some of your twisted ideas are really unheard of by me. As expected, women are just not presentable." The man in the suit straightened his cane, took a symbolic look at it in front of his eyes, and then touched it to the ground with a clear "beep" sound.

He looked at Chen Lin, no longer with a playful, mocking smile, but with naked disgust and annoyance.

"Hey!" Chen Lin stomped his feet and stepped forward, glaring angrily.

"Anyway, you ruined my business, and then you come to scold me not to do such business again. It's really boring. I thought you could say something that I really need to refute..." The man in the suit began to turn around, and Bai Cai finished his instant noodles, picked up the cup and took a sip of the soup.

"What? Don't you think you did something wrong? I will catch the thief! But if I find out that the next buyer is you! Just wait for me! No matter what you say! I will teach you a lesson!" Chen Lin stood where she was and punched forward fiercely. Of course, she could only punch the air and it was impossible for her to do anything to hurt him.

They don't have any grudges against each other...

However, the man in the suit wanted to buy Chen Lin's stolen things, which made Chen Lin a little bit unacceptable. Such improper and helpless behavior. Why! Why buy other people's lost things! Really!

No buying, no killing! Don’t you understand such a simple truth?

Accomplice! What happened to the woman! Aa ...

She would definitely have to have a quarrel with this unfair buyer, otherwise she would definitely not be able to control her anger. Just like now, she could only look at Bai Cai who didn't say a word to help her and get angry.

"I can't help it..." Bai Cai put the noodle bucket in the trash can, patted Bai Bai's cat-like hands, and snorted to express his dissatisfaction with Chen Lin's silly behavior: "You don't chase the thief, but you are here to educate this person... You are stupid. And you still want me to speak for you. It's my fault for embarrassing you here."

Bai Cai snorted and jumped onto Chen Lin's shoulder. Chen Lin, with a gloomy face, flicked it with his fingers and let it fly in the air.

Chen Lin looked at the man in the suit who had walked away, turned around silently, and put the bow behind his back.

"It's nothing, actually. You can't ask others not to buy it, and I can't say it's your fault that you lost the Lucky Obelisk. If you want to blame someone, just blame me...right? I didn't take good care of you."

Watching Chen Lin slowly lowering her head, Bai Cai also felt the grievance of this girl.

She may not be right, but she did nothing wrong. It is reasonable for her to even blame the buyers for her stolen things...

This is not the first time that she has been so impetuous.

"Blame me... Did you hear me?" Bai Cai flew to Chen Lin's shoulder again and sighed: "Next time, let's not care about anything and just beat them up first, okay? Okay?"

Chen Lin sighed, lowered his head, and walked slowly on the streets of Flandre at dusk. There were many pedestrians, most of them were returning home.

"OK?"

Bai Cai saw that Chen Lin was not in a good condition, so he slowly flew to her. Seeing her snow-white face becoming gloomy at this moment, he supported his waist and shouted loudly: "Is it okay - silly girl -"

Seeing that Chen Lin hadn't responded yet, Bai Cai jumped onto Chen Lin's shoulder again and sighed helplessly: "Ah, ah, is this kind of thing difficult for our little fairy? No way?"

"Of course I'm not stumped!"

Chen Lin responded to Bai Cai softly. She looked at the people rushing around her. To the strangers in this strange world, she was completely homeless.

Wherever you go, it’s the way home.

Perhaps, this is also a kind of loneliness in the world...

The thing that homeless people hate to see the most is the sunset, because when the sun sets, the lights in every household are lit, but not a single light is lit for themselves.

"When my strength is restored, I will take you to the wandering world... It will definitely be better than walking. Ordinary places are generally the same, but when you are far away, it is different. There is a saying that in the spirit world, one mountain is a world apart, and one river is two worlds~" Bai Cai saw Chen Lin looking at it, and sat on her shoulder with his arms crossed, and said like a tour guide without stopping: "If you want to go, this is the Principality of Fran. The most worthwhile places to visit are definitely the arena and theater here. Of course, there is also the most prestigious magic academy in the entire spirit world."

"Alright, alright, quickly locate the thief. We have already wasted a lot of time."

Chen Lin impatiently flicked Baicai's cat's head again, telling it to stop talking.

"Ah... on the way to Fran? He ran in the direction of Fran? Very clear." Bai Cai was bounced, tilted slightly, and slowly lay down to rest.

"Why can one of them transform into a knife? Such a big man..." Chen Lin looked at a coachman approaching her, she gently waved her hand and shook her head, and the coachman left wisely. "I can fly... Have you ever seen a cat fly? It is a secret method, which can be regarded as a branch of magic. There are many "power moves" created based on the original spiritual power in the spirit world. In a sense, they are just called differently." Bai Cai began to lick his paws.

"Ah... I'm so tired... When can we collect the seven spirit stones... We have been kept by a thief for so long..." Chen Lin seemed to understand, but also seemed unwilling to listen to Bai Cai talking about those strange terms. Bai Cai was a crazy commentator, and sometimes he couldn't stop talking, so he had to change the subject.

"That's why!" Bai Cai glanced at Chen Lin and lowered her voice, saying softly, "Because you are not used to the spirit world yet... I can't do anything... right... I can only try to protect you. Many things still depend on you. If you stay and have a fight with that person, I can't take you to chase the thief."

"Okay, okay. I got it." Chen Lin touched her belly. Her white long skirt was a little out of tune with this world, but it was not too abrupt. It could only be said that it was relatively cool, but it was basically a long skirt. There were some small wrinkles on the edge of the skirt, and some mud.

"If you really want to infer why I did this, I can only tell you one answer. That is, you still have to find the [Huangyi Spirit Stone] with me. We cannot go our separate ways. No matter what, you can't escape this responsibility."

"Okay, okay! I get it! I get it!" Chen Lin waved his hand and rejected another horse-drawn carriage that wanted to pick up people.

"Fran, right? Which way?"

Chen Lin looked at the cabbage on his shoulder and gestured for it to show the way.

"Go, here." Bai Cai pointed in the direction of Fran.

"Okay, let's catch it sooner and go find the spirit stone sooner, otherwise it will take forever to find it." Chen Lin finally sighed, but she straightened her back, raised her head, and jogged towards Fulan's path.

"I ate instant noodles... Don't you want to eat something?"

Bai Cai looked at Chen Lin, who had only said a few words, and she could feel that her mood was a mess just from that.

However, in Bai Cai's eyes, this kind of situation of being humiliated and then bitten back is just disgusting and will not lead to a real reversal of right and wrong, and there will be no big problem in essence.

"Ah... eating wool..." Chen Lin trotted and snorted: "I'm already full of anger, and I'm still eating."

Although her stomach growled loudly in protest against her master's words, Chen Lin still walked towards the tree-lined path.

The sun had completely set and the moon was rising quietly. Bai Cai looked at the girl and smiled softly, then he lay down and stopped talking.

Under the moonlight, the woman walking on the tree-lined path has a thin figure that is clearly visible. The cool breeze blowing on her long skirt brings a cool touch, and her long black hair is also blown up, passing through the dew in the cool night.

She was silent, and Bai Cai chattered on and on about some little knowledge about the spiritual world. She nodded from time to time, and exclaimed from time to time, but generally did not say much.

It may take some time for her to show her impetuousness again. Take a break.

For example, tomorrow morning.

However, they did not catch up with Gorman, but only found the golden sculpture of a grinning clown - [Obelisk of Luck] - on the corpses of several pigeons.

The process of loss and recovery was so dull that both of them looked at the bloodstains around them and the bloodstains remaining on the slope with suspicion.

"How strange..." Chen Lin looked around, seeing everything motionless, and couldn't figure out why the obelisk was with the pigeons.

"Is his name Gorman...and Golding?" Chen Lin put the obelisk into his schoolbag and zipped it up. Fearing that it would be lost again, he took another look at it, zipped it up again, and patted it appropriately.

"That should be it. I can feel that... Golding's presence is still nearby... and Gorman disappeared... He disappeared on the road." Bai Cai sniffed, glanced at Chen Lin and said, "Why? Gorman's presence has indeed disappeared completely. It can't be..."

"Dead?" Bai Cai was a little shocked.

Chen Lin was also shocked.

"He's just a thief... there's no need to force him to death... ah..."

"what?"

"what?"

The cat's eyes, one yellow and one blue, looked into the star-colored eyes, and both felt it was incredible.

"Are you sure... you're really... dead?" Chen Lin opened his schoolbag and took out the Lucky Obelisk. The clown's mouth was grinning. Although it was made of gold, it was always in a scary grin. I felt a terrible fear...

"Uneven distribution of the spoils? This is the only possibility... There are many cases of brothers turning against each other..." Bai Cai placed his hand on the edge of the Lucky Obelisk, and this time, he really sighed.

"I just... want to get back what's mine... [Yu Xingong] can only kill demons... and can only knock people unconscious..."

Chen Lin touched his nose.

At least, she thought that if someone stole her things, it would be fine to return them to her... right... maybe... no one should die because of it... right... maybe...

This feeling of guilt for causing a murder with my own things is so strange...

She looked at the Lucky Obelisk in disbelief, thinking that such a thing should not happen... At least, stealing should not happen... And there should be no disputes... And even more so, it should not happen...

"It would be better if you could give it back to me sooner... To be honest, it says lucky, but in fact I just have bad luck..." Chen Lin looked at a man in black clothes standing in front of her and slowly squatted down.

She was a little confused...but when they got very close, she realized that she had seen this man before.

Sowing seeds and reaping fruits is reincarnation.

There is no such thing as a perfect match between Chang Yufeng and Chen Lin.

For example, in the time and space of Crow Feather Echoes, his wife was Lilia of the Carolingian family who sponsored him to study in Fran.

There is also a time and space when most people are not married.

If we really want to say that they are a perfect match, it is because one of them is the reincarnation of Chang Yufeng, and the other is a reincarnation who inherited the name of Chang Yufeng, the king of Tianyu Renxin (the superficial meaning). There is a certain characteristic of mutual attraction between the same origin.
