Chapter 144

Although it can be seen from observation that this elder sister is a good person, she is actually so completely defenseless... Is she not afraid at all because she knows there are many people around her protecting her?

Or is it that the eldest sister had a special story when she was young and was someone who had experienced many big things?

The system was puzzled and wanted to discuss it with Baiji again, but Baiji had already turned on the Do Not Disturb function for it.

Didn't you see her acting here?

Like a quail, he followed his elder sister silently, and accompanied her to buy vegetables before being taken home by her.

The people in the dark were very afraid of Baiji, but for some reason, no one stepped forward to remind the woman.

This ambiguous attitude made Baiji and the secretly observing system even more confused - does this mean he cares or not?

"I'm sorry, little girl. My house is not very big. I have to inconvenience you for a while. Can you live in this house first until you find your father?"

The old communities built in the last era are mostly inhabited by ordinary people of advanced age, as well as tenants who come to study nearby for convenience.

Although it looks shabby from the outside, there are quite a lot of rooms inside.

There are four bedrooms and a living room, and my eldest sister’s master bedroom has its own small bathroom.

It can be seen that the internal area of ​​the house is actually not small, but two of the rooms are partitioned by myself.

There are more rooms and more furniture. Although it looks cozy, it does seem a bit stuffy.

Baiji took a quick look and found no signs of men living in the house. Although the other three rooms were decorated in different styles, it was clear that they were all occupied by girls.

Two of them should be occupied by Xia Youlan and Tian Ruoruo now.

"Do you have daughters?" Or three, divorced and raising children? Are those people in the dark her ex-husband's people, or her daughter's...

"No ah."

Baiji:?

"You mean these rooms? Oh, I decorated them myself. They look nice, don't they? I don't have any big hobbies on weekdays, but I like to do decoration, and sometimes I can arrange it when guests come to my house."

Baiji curled the corner of his mouth, stepped over the small stool with his long legs, and sat down in the corner of the living room.

The eldest sister put away the vegetables and meat, and cut some fresh fruit for Baiji. When she came out of the kitchen, she saw Baiji sitting on the small sofa in a daze.

"Hey, why are you sitting there? You can sit here. Come here, come here."

It was the first time that Baiji met such a warm-hearted elder sister, and he sat down stiffly.

"My name is Liu Yan. You look quite young, probably in your early twenties. Just call me Aunt Liu." Liu Yan patted Baiji's little hand and gave her a look that said "I understand."

Baiji: ...What do you mean? What do you know?

System: Haha, early twenties, hahahaha.

"You don't have to worry too much about your father. Have you contacted the police station? People nowadays have many means at their disposal. They will definitely find him for you." Liu Yan had a loving face, and the way she looked at Baiji was not like an elder looking at a child, but more like an older generation looking at a grandchild.

"It doesn't matter if you can't find it, you can just stay here, I won't chase you away." Liu Yan said, as if she thought of something, her expression changed, "It's been a bit chaotic outside lately, if you have nothing to do, try not to go out alone. Don't worry, I won't charge you any money, I just like the hustle and bustle. Besides you, I also have two girls staying here temporarily, you can keep each other company on weekdays."

This is what the spiritual world is like. It would be fine if everyone had a spirit, but as long as ordinary people exist, there will be oppression and secrecy.

Isn't it the case in the ordinary world as well? This situation is even more prevalent in the spiritual world.

"...Thank you." Bai Ji didn't know what else she could say. This woman kept talking intermittently. Not only did she say everything she wanted to say, but she also said a lot of things she hadn't expected. She arranged everything for her very well. What else could she say?

It seems like everything went particularly smoothly this time?

Before there was Liu Qing and Jiang Zhu, and now I've met Liu Yan. At least I won't suffer in terms of accommodation this time.

But the bottom line is, as long as you don't go into the woods, in modern society as long as you have money, you don't have to worry about living badly anywhere you go.

Because Liu Yan was too enthusiastic, Bai Ji refused for a long time before getting rid of her and came to the room prepared for her by Liu Yan, intending to wait for Tian Ruoruo and the others here.

Considering Tian Ruoruo's strange ability, she may have known that she was here by now, but she didn't know why she was led here.

Is it because of this city? The city of sin... but it looks no different than any other small city so far.

"Why does it have such a...novel-like nickname? Who would call a city the Crime Capital just because of the crime rate over the years?"

〖Well...but its crime rate is really high. Before leaving this time, I went to the official office for background check. Although it is called a city, this place is equivalent to an independent small country. It is not subject to any supervision. The mayor is changed every three years.〗

Baiji raised his eyebrows. "They change every three years? Who organizes this? Don't these mayors have any organizations or backers behind them?"

〖…It is said that a group of gangsters came here to claim the throne a few years ago. Since they were not good people, they only recruited new people at first. It has only gradually evolved into what it is now in modern times. And regarding the mayoral election, the mayor cannot be re-elected.〗

"Have you seen who the current mayor is?"

It's true, even after investigating this far, even though they knew the mayor had little to do with them, the system at the time still took a look at the mayor's information.

[Honey bean.]

Eh? Wait, that name.

Baiji:……

system,〖……〗

Baiji: "I don't think this is a human. What do you think?"

〖……〗It didn’t know, it really just took a glance.

-

When Tian Ruoruo and Xia Youlan came back, they brought a lot of things, mostly food and a small part of clothes.

Liu Yan said it was a big expense but her face showed a happy expression. Although she could afford to support these three girls, people are kind-hearted and will definitely feel resentful if she gives unconditionally for a long time.

But now it won't happen. What does this mean? It means that the two girls also remember her and don't really take her efforts for granted.

This is a positive, two-way effort!

Baiji knew it when the two people entered the community. As they walked into the residential building, the people in the dark obviously began to stir, but they seemed to be hesitating about something and did not make any move.

Baiji: “This is really…”

The three of them were talking in the living room, and it was very lively. Baiji didn't want to join in, so he just planned to wait until they returned to their rooms before taking any action. Unexpectedly, he waited for fifteen minutes, and Liu Yan didn't even say she was there, let alone going back to her room to rest.

Shouldn’t this topic be the first focus?

Unable to wait any longer, Bai Ji stood up and opened the door. The noise was not loud, but her room faced the living room, so the two people who were temporarily staying in the living room stopped talking the moment they saw her.

Liu Yan stood up and rubbed her hands on the scarf in front of her abdomen. "Oh, look at my memory. I forgot to tell you that this girl is Bai Lan. She is here to look for her father. She will live here with you for a while."

"Bai, Bai Lan?" Last name Bai?

Xia Youlan's heart skipped a beat, but what she didn't know was that Bai Ji's heart was also beating wildly when he looked at her...

But this time, Skull Gardenia seemed very quiet, so quiet that it seemed as if all the previous times were her illusions, and in fact, Skull Gardenia had never appeared.

Hmm...it seems that warnings are effective? She thought that Skull Gardenia wouldn't care.

On the other hand, for Xia Youlan, all the information about Baiji was told to her by Shouguang. She herself did not know much about Baiji, not to mention that Baiji now had some disguise in his appearance.

But when she heard the last name "Bai", she subconsciously tensed up.

——Is it her? Baiji, isn't the woman next to her looking for...

"Miss Bai, are you looking for your father?" Tian Ruoruo's misty eyes were clearly out of focus, but they could accurately fall on Bai Ji's face.

Bai Ji knew that she must have figured out his identity, and Xia Youlan next to him would probably know it too.

"…Yes, but I have a clue now."

Tian Ruoruo smiled and nodded, without any abnormality, as if she didn't understand Baiji's words, "Really? That's great."

Even Xia Youlan noticed that something was wrong between the two, but Liu Yan was still enthusiastic. After hearing Bai Ji's words, she was happy for her. "Really? That's great. If you need anything, just tell me. If you encounter any difficulties, you can find me in time. I have a wide network of contacts and will definitely be able to help you."

Baiji tilted his head slightly and said, "Thank you." Wide network of contacts?

Because Liu Yan was there, Bai Ji couldn't tell Tian Ruoruo directly, so he could only wait until Liu Yan went to bed at night and then sneak into Tian Ruoruo's room.

"Good evening, dear."

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Xia Youlan tied up in the corner with her mouth blocked. She was struggling constantly. When she saw Bai Ji coming in, her face was full of surprise.

Baiji: “…” She knew that Tian Ruoruo knew everything.

At this point, Tian Ruoruo came to Xia Youlan and loosened her restraints. "Wait a minute, don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you. I just need you to be quiet for a while."

Is this a way to calm people down?!

Baiji leaned against the wall with his hands clasped over his chest. Tian Ruoruo took out the thing from Xia Youlan's mouth, and just before she started to scream, he put something back in with his index finger, causing Xia Youlan to shut up instantly, and the scream she was about to scream turned into dry heaves.

"Okay, now you can be quiet." Tian Ruoruo stood up and wiped his fingers with tissue paper. "Now it's time to talk about what's between us, dear."

Baiji curled her lips and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Can you please stop calling me dear? Sister, I really don't know you well." And she had noticed it ten years ago, and Tianma also told her later, that Tian Ruoruo didn't seem to be very good at recognizing people's gender?

Tian Ruoruo sighed and said apologetically, "Sorry, did I upset you? I'm a more traditional person."

Tradition? Calling a same-sex person dear all the time, while carrying a life, doesn't seem like it no matter how you look at it.

Baiji thought she was talking nonsense, "Okay, just stop yelling next time. What do you want to do by bringing me here? Can you tell me now?"

Tian Ruoruo frowned slightly, "Dear...you seem to have a lot of opinions about me."

Baiji: "Can you please stop talking nonsense?" After saying that, Baiji glanced at Xia Youlan. She was still retching and looked very painful. It was not known whether it was because of what she had just eaten or if she wanted to vomit it out by retching.

Tian Ruoruo pursed her lips, looking weak and vulnerable. She stood between the greedy Baiji and the embarrassed Xia Youlan, making her look like a little white lotus who had strayed into this place.

"Okay, since you don't want to hear this, I won't bother you anymore. Let's talk about business first and deal with personal matters later." Tian Ruoruo said with a look of reluctance on her face, looking at Baiji as if she was looking at a heartless person.

But who will follow you in the future?

Baiji licked his upper teeth and swallowed the words that were about to reach his throat. He didn't want to argue with her anymore.

"Baiji wants to deal with the problems left by Master Kuzhi now, right? He loses control when he sees Xia Youlan. If Xia Youlan falls into the hands of the enemy, it will definitely be a big problem."
