Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

The story about Ji De had been circulating for a day, and instead of dying down, the heat was getting even hotter.

Nowadays, the question is no longer whether those who have accumulated virtue will become gods descending to earth, but there are two opinions, discussing whether those who have accumulated virtue will become good gods or evil gods.

I didn't experience his kindness, but he couldn't be called an evil god either. After all, he didn't do any harm. He just stole some people's money, especially those who were rich but unkind or had poor moral character.

Therefore, accumulating virtue for this god is... quite subtle.

The common people present that day could not confidently say that he was a benevolent and righteous god. After all, Ji De had said in his own mouth that he was not kind and would not save all living beings.

There are a few people who say Ji De is kind. Most of them have grudges against the Zheng family or the Yu family. Ji De emptied their warehouses, which can be regarded as a way to vent their anger.

This is why the debate is taking place.

While being debated, Xin Ye and Yan Yiyi were shopping on the street. No matter where they went, they could hear people talking about Ji De, but they pretended not to hear anything.

Anyway, the goal has been achieved, so it doesn’t matter how the world views my virtue.

Today, Hua Murong did not sit in the aisle of the teahouse, but sat in a private room. Hua Bei stood silently beside her, reducing his presence, as if Hua Murong was the only one in the box.

Hua Murong leaned against the window, drinking by herself, her eyes fixed on the street downstairs. She watched the people coming and going on the street, listened to the discussions coming from the people from time to time, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

Ji De is indeed an interesting person. Although he doesn't know what method he used to achieve such miraculous results, and is even less sure of his purpose, it does not prevent him from being interested in this person. To be precise, he is interested in his strange methods.

Unfortunately, Jide was too good at hiding his tracks. Even though he rushed there in time that night, he was unable to find any trace of him, and he escaped right under his nose.

As for what all the guards and yamen runners said later, that things suddenly disappeared in front of them, he was skeptical. Others might not know, but don’t they know it?

There are some hidden families in the world that have abilities that are different from ordinary people. Ji De may be the young people who came out of the hidden families to gain experience.

Therefore, he believes that accumulating virtue is not God.

"Aye, be careful!"

Hearing this voice, Hua Murong's heart trembled. She turned around and saw a young woman with simple clothes and a bun pulling the man next to her and complaining angrily about the carriage that almost hit the man.

The man chuckled and tried to comfort the woman who was about to explode. They walked and talked, and when they turned a corner they entered an alley and disappeared.

Hua Murong came back to her senses from the shock, put the teacup on the table, and jumped out of the second-floor window. Seeing this, Hua Bei hurriedly chased after her and also jumped out of the window.

Hua Murong chased out of the alley and looked left and right at the crowded street. The woman disappeared into the crowd, but the man who was behaving intimately with her was quite conspicuous. After all, it was rare to see a man about eight feet tall in the south.

Hua Murong immediately walked to the left. At this time, the woman who had bent down to choose the items stood up, paid the money and walked forward with the man.

Afraid of missing her news again, Hua Murong used his Qinggong skills and tapped his toes twice, easily passing all the people standing in his way and landed in front of the two of them.

Xin Ye and Yan Yiyi were shocked by the scene before them. They stopped and looked at the man standing in front of them.

The scene that Yan Yiyi expected, where the man slowly turned around and revealed his stunningly handsome face, did not appear. Instead, the man turned around as soon as he stood firm, staring at her with murderous eyes, as if she owed him eight million, so much so that she completely ignored the man's handsome face.

Xin Ye immediately took a step forward and pulled Yan Yiyi behind him to protect her. His face darkened and he did not speak first.

"Yier." Seeing her hiding behind a man, Hua Murong's face became even uglier and his tone became even more unpleasant.

Xin Ye was not sure whether he knew his wife, so he looked down at Yan Yiyi behind him. Yan Yiyi stared at his face and immediately thought of the sketch provided by Youyou. That was the clue she got when she asked Youyou to help her check her memory fragments. Youyou drew the main characters for her.

Among them, there is a portrait that is 70% similar to the man in front of him. To be precise, when the boy in the painting opens his eyes, he is the man in front of him.

Seeing that she had no reaction, Hua Murong still hid behind the man, holding back her anger and calling out again: "Yi'er!"

Yan Yiyi came back to her senses and tugged at Xin Ye's sleeve. Xin Ye bent down knowingly. Yan Yiyi whispered in his ear, "He could be my brother, that painting."

After her reminder, Xin Ye also remembered and looked at the man in front of him carefully again. He was indeed very similar to the boy in the painting.

The reason why he didn't react at first was that he was afraid that the other party would hurt his wife. How could he be so alert that he could not even think of his brother-in-law whom he had never met?

Xin Ye noticed that many people had stopped and gathered together, looking like they were eating melons. He cleared his voice and said, "This is not a place to talk. We are staying in an inn not far ahead. Sir, can you please follow us?"

Although Hua Murong was not happy with what the man in front of her said, she glanced at the people around her and realized that this was indeed not a good place to talk. She nodded slightly and turned sideways to signal him to lead the way.

The couple breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he was easy to talk to.

When the people saw that there were no melons to eat, they dispersed on their own accord.

At this time, Hua Bei strode to Hua Murong and followed her silently.

Although he also noticed that something was wrong with the young lady, he was just a subordinate and had no right to speak since his master hadn't spoken.

The group of four returned to the inn. Two of them put the things they bought aside. Hua Bei was the last one to enter the room. He closed the door on his own initiative and stood at the door without going forward to disturb the masters' conversation.

Xin Ye poured a cup of boiled water from the teapot and placed it in front of the guest and the couple, and asked the guest to sit down: "The waiter will bring the tea in a while. It's hot now, please have a cup of water to quench your thirst."

Yan Yiyi came over and sat down, took a couple of sips of boiled water, and Xin Ye also sat down and drank some water. After walking around for the whole morning, he was indeed a little thirsty.

"Yier, this is your attitude when you see your brother?" Hua Murong looked at Yan Yiyi with a cold face.

When Yan Yiyi heard this, he thought to himself: It is indeed so.

After putting down the teacup, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't remember you. You said you were my brother, but do you have any evidence?"

After hearing this, Hua Murong and Hua Bei were both shocked.

Hua Murong looked at Yan Yiyi in astonishment, her eyes were sincere and she certainly didn't seem to be talking, but there was no guarantee that she wasn't joking. This girl had a criminal record and her ideas for pranks were endless, and the three brothers always fell for it.
