This villain has become a ghost

Yue Liuyun didn't say anything.

Because... the moment she blurted out the words, she thought of this.

...At the same time, he also recalled his childhood experiences.

She met many people in this world.

But everyone seems to be walking on the edge of a burning knife, cutting off people's flesh and blood and scraping their marrow with every step.

If the world were a little better, the tragedy that happened to these people would not have happened.

They should live happily.

She suddenly felt...

It really makes sense to work hard to do these things.

Pei Duo saw Yue Liuyun's expression was slightly strange and he was a little confused, so he laughed out loud and said jokingly to ease the atmosphere:

"...I'm just a bandit, so what if I can't read?"

"But aren't you the newly crowned female champion? If you're willing, you can teach me."

Yue Liuyun looked up at him.

Pei Duo just thought that she was going to reject him politely and distantly as usual, or just make a joke and laugh it off.

Unexpectedly, Yue Liuyun nodded and said:

"Okay."

Pei Duo stood there in a daze, his pupils shrinking slightly, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Yue Liuyun picked up the pen and began to write on the paper.

She chuckled and said, "...Although I have a lot of things to do today, Master Pei just helped me grind the ink, so it's okay for me to teach him a few words."

"Shua swish——" She wrote two big words on the paper. The ink was not dry yet and was shiny black.

The girl's hair drooped as she lowered her head to write, making her as charming as in the portrait. Her long eyelashes covered her eyes, as if those evil thoughts were also hidden, leaving only a delicate and delicate scholarly air.

Pei Duo's breathing suddenly stopped, and the sound of his own heartbeat became clearer in his ears, beating heavily and powerfully.

It seemed different from any previous intentional or unintentional approach.

Before, there was appreciation, temptation, admiration, the desire to conquer, the desire to possess, and the desire to exploit...

But it’s not like this now... strange.

Pei Duo closed his eyes.

Yue Liuyun wrote very quickly with a smile in her eyes. She reached out and handed the written paper to Pei Duo.

"It's written. This is your name."

"My name?" Pei Duo opened his eyes and took it, his eyes fixed on the dark characters. He said, "...these two characters are... 'Pei Duo'?"

"Of course not."

The smile in Yue Liuyun's eyes deepened, but he forced the corners of his mouth down and said:

“…This is ‘Er Gou’.”

Pei Duo: “…”

Pei Duo: "Yue Liuyun, I will kill you."

-

Yue Liuyun finally asked this "big Buddha" to leave.

...The letter has been written.

Then she lit it with a candle and watched it turn into ashes.

...The letter was just a cover to help her sort out her thoughts. For the specific matters, she still had to meet Chu Shiqing and Xia Ruzhi in person. However, she couldn't explain it clearly with just a letter, and it also lacked sincerity.

She will set off early tomorrow morning.

It was late now, and she should rest.

In a completely unfamiliar environment, she was not used to turning off the lights, and had been sleeping with the lights on for the past few days. The weather was gradually warming up, and although the night wind was not cold, it might blow out the lights at night.

Yue Liuyun finished cleaning the inkstone, wiped his hands, and stood up to close the window.

However, as soon as I reached the window, I saw a familiar head stealthily peeking out from underneath. The scene was extremely strange and not beautiful.

Yue Liuyun: “…”

"Don't close it, girl, let me in first."

Feng Ning looked around and climbed in through the window at an extremely fast speed. His movements were skillful and his expression was calm, as if he had returned home.

With a "click", in order to prevent people from seeing the scene inside the room clearly, Yue Liuyun decisively closed the window and turned around to lean on it.

She rubbed her eyebrows, as if she was doubting her life.

Why is he everywhere?

She had already come to Wuzhou, but he was still following her.

...Moreover, this man's skills are so amazing that he can sneak into General Qiming's mansion and the bandits' camp. It's hard not to wonder if he has other side jobs.

Yue Liuyun suppressed his shock and asked, "I remember you were sent to Wancheng to carry out a mission, so why are you in Wuzhou?!"

Feng Ning wiped the resentment and sadness from his face.

"...I don't want to do this either, but Your Majesty insists on making me run around everywhere. What else can I do?"

The salary and benefits he expected should be "less work, more money and proximity to the palace."

But ideals are full, reality is very skinny, the boss is very stingy and perverted.

If Nangong Mingzhu didn't have the leisure time, he would have suspected that he was doing the opposite of him on purpose so precisely.

"Alright," Yue Liuyun crossed his arms and asked silently, "...then why did your Majesty send you here?"

At this time, Feng Ning slowly restrained his expression.

He did not answer her directly, but thought for a moment and said something else:

"Young lady, you may not know that before I came here, I first met Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Majesty the Consort."

Yue Liuyun raised his eyebrows slightly.

...No wonder he found himself here.

She nodded and waited for his next words.

Feng Ning pondered and said:

"Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Majesty the Consort have told me that they want to do something and may need my help."

"After learning the details, I discovered that this matter coincided with the task Your Majesty had entrusted to me. I felt... that what I did was right."

"So, His Highness and His Majesty asked me to tell you a piece of news."

Yue Liuyun was slightly startled, a thought flashed through his mind, and he looked at him in disbelief.

As expected, Feng Ning bowed and continued to say seriously:

"...General Qisha and General Changgeng have agreed to your request, young lady."

In other words, it was Feng Ning who persuaded them.

Yue Liuyun lowered his head and remained silent for a while.

She had a complicated expression and did not ask him how he knew it. Instead, she asked another question:

"So...what is the mission he gave you?"

Feng Ning bowed to her solemnly.

He said, "I want my subordinate to give you something."

After saying that, he respectfully placed the things on the table.

Yue Liuyun's pupils constricted and he stood there in a daze.

"I have other tasks to do, so I'll take my leave now."

"I wish Miss... No, I wish Master Yue all the best and success."

The window creaked, Feng Ning came and went in a hurry, his figure quickly disappeared from the window, and the room returned to silence.

A string of wind chimes hung outside the house, tinkling in the night wind.

Inside the house, the oil lamp burned slowly, the flames flickering.

I don’t know how long it took, but the oil ran out, the lamp went out, and the moonlight became dim.

The moon and clouds did not sleep all night.

He just sat quietly beside the wooden chair, staring at the object, not knowing what he was thinking.

From darkness till dawn.
