Both worlds are like dreams
Chapter 23 King Han Xi Returns to the Capital
Xue Huang didn't know what Wei Yunzhou and Mo Ruilin talked about. When it was dark, Mo Ruilin came to find Gu Qinglan and said that he was going to write a case-closing file. Then the two left Jinxiu Tower together.
However, Wei Yunzhou left without even saying hello. She coaxed Luo Ning for a long time before she finally got some information out of her. She said that Wei Yunzhou had clues about the murderer and had already gone to investigate.
Xue Huang had to admire the powerful intelligence network of Shanhemen, and learned the whereabouts of Wei Yunzhou. She did not hesitate, and jumped out of the window regardless of the cold rain outside.
She was like a ghost, traveling through the rainy night, and finally came to a dilapidated courtyard in North Lane.
However, she did not see Wei Yunzhou, but saw a familiar person.
The Black Evil of the Black and White Evils was setting fire to the yard. The other party had obviously discovered Xue Huang, and his eyes were slightly cold, "It's you again."
"Why are you here?" Xue Huang asked.
"Nothing to do with you."
"What's your name?" Xue Huang smiled. "You didn't tell me your name the last time we met."
“No one who knows my name will survive the next day.”
"Are you sure?" Xue Huang was very puzzled. "Did you answer the same way when Shen Congfeng asked you?"
Black Evil: "..."
"Then why did you set the fire?" Xue Huang continued to ask.
Why so many questions? The man in black felt helpless. Are they familiar with each other?
"It's rare that you and I don't have to fight today, why don't we sit down and talk?" Xue Huang said with a smile.
The man in black didn't know how to respond to her.
At this moment, the sky cleared after the rain. She was dressed in white, standing on the tree branch. The few rays of moonlight from the dark clouds cast a cool and soft glow on her body. Any light lost its color behind her. Her eyes were as clear as ice, clean without a trace of impurities. Bai Yu also had a pair of such eyes, but unfortunately he could only follow her into the endless darkness behind him. That was their fate and they could not escape.
"Go now." He said coldly. "Today's matter ends here. I won't show mercy next time we meet."
"Really?" Xue Huang raised an eyebrow, "Do you think you can beat me?"
The man in black lowered his eyes and said, "You can try." He really couldn't beat her. But he couldn't lose in terms of momentum. As a killer, he had to be prepared to put life and death aside.
Xue Huang smiled and said, "Since you are so pretty, I won't embarrass you today. Go now."
The man in black was stunned, unable to understand her thoughts, but the mission had been accomplished, so he used his Qinggong skills to leave.
Xue Huang looked at the blazing fire, which was not extinguished by the rain at all, but gradually engulfed the dilapidated house. She was confused, wondering what Phantom's conspiracy was.
After searching for a while and finding no trace of Wei Yunzhou, Xue Huang had to go back to sleep.
She slept until the next morning, stretched herself, got up, washed up, took breakfast from the kitchen and went to find her second uncle, Luo Ning was also there. The two of them seemed to be drinking tea, and when they saw her, Luo Ning smiled gently, but Wei Yunzhou said that he didn't know her at all.
She came close to him, "Uncle, have you eaten?"
Wei Yunzhou glanced at her. He was already accustomed to her casual eating habits.
Luo Ning smiled and asked, "Did you run around again yesterday?"
"That's not the case," she said with a smile. "I went out for a walk and found that the black demon from the Phantom was burning a dilapidated yard. I don't know what his intention was."
"His name is Changfeng." Luo Ning said. "The one in white is Baiyu."
"You can find out all this?" Xue Huang asked in surprise.
"The Black and White Devils were also quite famous in the martial arts world before." Luo Ning smiled. "It's not difficult to find out these things."
"Is there any progress on Situ Yue's death? Who killed him?"
Luo Ning glanced at Wei Yunzhou, and after getting his consent, he said, "The remnants of Beiyuan."
"It's really them. Why? Revenge?"
"Situ Yue's death is just the beginning." Wei Yunzhou said. "It will make Bei Ling's court more complicated."
"I don't understand." Xue Huang said.
Wei Yunzhou rolled his eyes at her and said, "Eat."
"Uncle, don't you have anything else to say?"
"What do you want to know?"
"For example, what did Situ Yue want from me? For another example, did the remnants of Beiyuan kill Situ Yue to silence him?"
Wei Yunzhou looked at her, his dark eyes like the unfathomable seabed, "I thought you would ask more directly."
"If you're not going to answer, then what's the point of me asking?"
"This matter ends here." Wei Yunzhou said.
"So, Situ Yue's death was just Bei Yuan's revenge?"
Luo Ning said, "Xue Huang, I know you want to avenge Yue Zhu, but Cang Ying Men and Situ Yue are dead, this matter is over."
Xue Huang remained silent, a hint of doubt flashed through her mind: Is it really that simple?
At this time, Gu Qinglan came hurriedly.
"What happened?" Xue Huang asked puzzledly.
"Prince Han Xi returned to the capital to report on his work. Shen Congfeng advised His Highness to thoroughly investigate Situ Yue's death, and His Majesty agreed." Gu Qinglan said.
Wei Yunzhou thought thoughtfully, "Situ Yue's death touched upon many secrets."
"What do you mean?" Xue Huang asked.
"Don't worry about it." Wei Yunzhou said bluntly.
Gu Qinglan said: "Situ Yue has a close relationship with Mo Yunchen and Shen Congfeng, but Shen Congfeng suddenly asked His Highness to investigate this matter. This is unreasonable."
"They must be trying to frame His Highness." Xue Huang said. "What are your plans? Do you need help?"
Gu Qinglan said: "Now that Mo Yunchen has returned to the capital to report on his work, you should stop running around."
She raised an eyebrow, "I'm not afraid of him! Tell me where you want to go, and I'll go with you."
"Just stay still!" Wei Yunzhou reached out and grabbed her collar, "This is not something you should be involved in!"
“No, no, no,” she yelled, “Brother Qinglan, you have to take me with you.”
"I'm not going anywhere." Gu Qinglan said with a smile. "I came here specifically to tell you that King Han Xi is returning to the capital."
"It's just a small matter, why bother you to come here in person?" Xue Huang said with a smile, "But of course I'm very happy that you came."
Gu Qinglan smiled but said nothing. It would take a while for the whole Shangyang City to know about the big event of King Han Xi returning to the capital. But when he heard the news, he immediately thought of the feud between Xue Huang and King Han Xi, so he hurried to inform her.
Seeing that the two seemed to only have each other in their eyes, Luo Ning smiled meaningfully and said to Wei Yunzhou: "Sir, the people below have brought back some news. Come with me to take a look."
Wei Yunzhou didn't even raise his eyelids and said, "You can handle these things."
"This is related to Situ Yue, you should go and take a look." Luo Ning said with a smile.
Wei Yunzhou finally realized what Luo Ning meant. Seeing Xue Huang diligently stuffing snacks into Gu Qinglan's mouth, his face darkened and he stood up and left with Luo Ning.
"Eat more," Xue Huang said with a smile, "This is especially delicious."
"Okay." Gu Qinglan said. "There's a new preserved fruit shop near my home. Next time you come, I'll bring you some to try."
"Okay." Xue Huang said.
Gu Qinglan looked at her and knew that she was not the kind of person who would be immersed in sadness. But in fact, all these things were weighing on her heart, she just faced them in a different way.
"Can you play chess?" he asked.
Xue Huang nodded.
"How about we play the next game?"
"Brother Qinglan, you are known as the chess master. I am afraid I am no match for you."
"It's okay." Gu Qinglan said with a smile.
Xue Huang moved Wei Yunzhou's chessboard, not realizing that this was Wei Yunzhou's room. She occupied it with peace of mind, and then played Go with Gu Qinglan.
However, Gu Qinglan's chess skills were far superior to Xue Huang's. She had no chance of winning at all and had to think for a long time before making each move.
The two of them were in a stalemate for more than an hour, but Xuehuang refused to admit defeat and continued to play chess seriously.
Seeing how hard she was trying, Gu Qinglan gave her a step without leaving any trace. Unexpectedly, Xuehuang saw it immediately. She smiled and said, "Brother Qinglan, you let me on purpose."
"You figured it out." Gu Qinglan said with a smile.
"Although I am not good at chess, I still have some vision."
"We've been playing chess for almost two hours. Are you hungry?"
Xue Huang rubbed her stomach and said with a smile: "Now that you remind me, I do feel a little hungry."
"Then let's end this chess game here first. I'll take you somewhere." Gu Qinglan said.
"Where?"
"Follow me and you'll find out." Gu Qinglan said with a smile.
Xue Huang nodded and followed him out the door.
The expelled Wei Yunzhou was finally able to return to his room. His dark face showed a hint of interest the moment he saw the chessboard, and he immediately immersed himself in the chessboard.
