Shen Junhan held her face in her hands and looked at the gifts they brought in for Pei Zhiyi happily. "Xiao Pei, I'm really happy for you. In the future, more and more friends will care about you."

Pei Zhiyi picked up a gift and looked at it, and he really didn't feel much.

"Is this another way to become friends? I keep sending her gifts, but she never appears in front of me."

Shen Junhan wasn't quite sure about this. "From my understanding, she probably wants to give her friends what she thinks are the best things. This might be another way to make friends."

Shen Junhan is different from this. She is not so rich that she can send so many rare treasures at once.

Pei Zhiyi nodded lightly and said nothing more.

the other side

Yue Jiang just watched Yue An quietly rummaging through things, wishing he could give away all the good things in the house.

"Is the freshman you're talking about so good?"

Yue'an poked his head out from among the treasures, his face filled with joy and excitement. "She's so beautiful, and she has a kind of cool cuteness. Most importantly, although I haven't fought her, I can feel that she is indeed as strong as the rumors say. Although her personality seems to be a little awkward, I really have a good impression of her."

Yue'an has an arrogant personality and looks down on most people. This is the first time Yue Jiang has heard her speak so highly of others.

"If I have time, I'll go meet her."

"Don't!" Yue An rejected his sister's dangerous idea without a second thought. "You crazy cultivator, I'm afraid you'll want to fight the moment you see her. You'll affect my impression of her!"

Yue Jiang: “…” Sometimes people’s silence has a sound!

"Yue'an, I've been too nice to you lately. Are you itching for it again?"

Yue'an chuckled a few times, "Sister, can't you wait until I really become friends with her before going? Why do you have to make trouble now? Besides, your first place position is almost overtaken by that guy, and you don't think about improving your own strength. Instead, you are here to care about me making friends. It's a bit unprofessional."

Speaking of that guy, Yue Jiang's expression immediately became serious.

"That guy has been acting really weird lately. His cultivation has improved so quickly, it's almost like he's not a normal person."

Moreover, every time we met, the gloomy atmosphere around that guy became stronger. Although it was not good to speculate badly about him, I always felt that he was practicing some not-so-good secret technique to forcibly improve his strength.

"That seems to be true." Yue'an paused his busy work. "He used to be quite optimistic and cheerful, but lately it seems like there's always a dark cloud hanging over his head. Sometimes when he looks at me, I feel like I'm being stared at by a venomous snake."

Yue'an suddenly thought of a possibility. "Sister, father said that things have been uneasy in the capital lately. Many people have died inexplicably, and their deaths were extremely tragic. Could that guy be related to this?"

Yue Jiang shook her head, "I don't know."

Yue An pursed his lips. "That guy is quite good-looking, but a little too good-looking than the average man. Probably only the Imperial Master can rival him in looks. I used to be quite optimistic about you and him, but if he really does something bad, then he's not worthy of you."

It doesn't matter if your strength is a little poor, what's important is your character.

Yue Jiang rolled her eyes. "If you could put all that energy you put into your random affairs and your idleness into cultivation, your current strength would definitely not be much worse than mine."

Yue'an silently covered his ears and started again.

Yue Jiang looked at her sister and shook her head helplessly. Suddenly, she thought of that guy and the recent murder in Wangdu. She decided to take some time out to go back home in the next few days to see what the situation was.

"Behave yourself in the academy these few days and don't cause any trouble. I'm going back home."

"I know, I know. Go back without worry."

~

The serial murders that occurred in the past few days have caused an uproar in the entire capital. Ordinary people's families are extremely worried, fearing that they will be the next to die.

Shen Junhan has always been well-informed about these gossips. As soon as he had found out everything, he went to tell Pei Zhiyi.

"One theory is that so many people died during their open and covert struggles for power because the Human King's children were fighting for power."

"Another theory is that a powerful evil creature has infiltrated the royal capital. This evil creature cultivates by absorbing human vitality."

There are so many different opinions that it is naturally difficult to distinguish between true and false.

"Xiao Pei, if it were you, which statement would you support?"

Pei Zhiyi hesitated for a moment, took a sip of water, and then answered, "The second one."

Because Bai Ze and Qilin did feel a bad aura these two days, even Yao Lingling became listless because of this bad aura.

"I think it's the second one, too." Shen Junhan couldn't help but shudder. "Evil creatures usually target weaker humans, but they're in the dark, and we're in the light, so we don't know who they'll target next."

I heard that the Immortal Guard Division has been extremely busy these days, and the Human King has also issued a death order, requiring them to solve the case as soon as possible.

Weak people...

It can also provide vitality training...

Pei Zhiyi suddenly slapped the table and stood up, scaring Shen Junhan.

"What, what's wrong?"

Pei Zhiyi shook his head and said, "I'm going to be out for a few days. You stay in the academy and don't walk around."

Shen Junhan nodded blankly, "Don't worry. But you should be careful too."

Pei Zhiyi didn't even have time to say hello before his figure disappeared immediately.

"Who are you thinking about? Why are you so anxious?"

Pei Zhiyi, who was thinking about someone, had quickly arrived at the Imperial Master's Mansion. Everyone in the Imperial Master's Mansion knew Pei Zhiyi, so they did not stop him but welcomed him in warmly.

"Miss, please wait a moment. The Imperial Master has been summoned by the Human King and has not returned yet."

"When did he go?"

Seeing Pei Zhiyi's anxious expression, the servant immediately replied, "He's been gone for a long time, but it's really strange. He should be back at this time on weekdays, but he hasn't come back yet today."

Before anyone could finish their words, Pei Zhiyi disappeared like a gust of wind.

The servant stammered and silently swallowed the words he had not finished saying.

Pei Zhiyi ran towards the palace in the royal capital and happened to meet Gu Xizhou's returning carriage on the road.

I don’t know why, but only when I saw it with my own eyes did I feel completely relieved.

"Gu Xizhou."

The carriage stopped. Gu Xizhou heard a familiar voice and immediately opened the curtain. "Benefactor?"

Pei Zhiyi nodded and then got on the carriage.

"Did my benefactor come to see me specifically?"

Pei Zhiyi: "..." Can this be admitted so directly?
