After the sword bone was taken away, the reborn elder sister went crazy killing

Pei Zhiyi calmed down and said, "Yes, I came here specifically to find you."

Gu Xizhou seemed to be a little dazed as he didn't expect Pei Zhiyi to admit it so directly.

"So, what's the matter that made you come to see me specially, benefactor?" Gu Xizhou couldn't hide the smile on his face. Maybe he felt a little strange to see Pei Zhiyi so direct for the first time, so he couldn't help but joked, emphasizing the word "specially".

Pei Zhiyi knew that Gu Xizhou was happy, but he didn't quite understand what he was happy about.

"I came all the way to see you, why are you so happy?"

Gu Xizhou hummed, "Normally I'm the one who goes to find my benefactor. It's rare that my benefactor comes to me on his own initiative, and he comes to me specifically. Shouldn't I be happy?"

Pei Zhiyi was puzzled. "But generally speaking, if someone comes to see someone specifically like this, they probably want to ask for something or need help with something else. This isn't a good thing, right?"

Gu Xizhou was silent: "..." After saying that, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

However, Gu Xizhou has a way to deal with wood, "But this also depends on the person. If it is a benefactor who comes to me, even if he needs my help, I will still feel very happy."

Pei Zhiyi's face turned red instantly, and she subconsciously touched her hot face. She didn't know why she reacted so strongly.

"It's nothing, actually. However, I heard some bad things happened in the capital recently. Was the Human King summoning you today also because of the recent strange murders in the capital?"

"My benefactor also knows about this?" Gu Xizhou looked thoughtful. "This matter has a very wide impact. The Human King is furious and has ordered the Immortal Guards to find the truth within seven days."

"I just heard about it." That's why he was worried that something might happen to Gu Xizhou, so he rushed over in a hurry.

But...why should she worry about something happening to him?

In fact, the two of them were not very close friends, they were just close because of the life-saving grace and the return of the life-saving grace.

Pei Zhiyi attributed this to the fact that he would still need him in the future, so he couldn't make the relationship too awkward now.

After this back-and-forth conversation, coupled with Pei Zhiyi's strange reaction, Gu Xizhou could already guess why she came to see him.

"So, my benefactor was worried about me, so he came looking for me?" Gu Xizhou thought. This wooden man seemed to have come to his senses without him noticing. "My benefactor might have gone to the Imperial Master's Mansion first, thinking I would be there, but when he found out I wasn't there, he came here to look for me and was relieved to see me, right?"

Gu Xizhou's questions were too urgent. For the first time, Pei Zhiyi realized that his mouth was useless and he couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.

"...Yes." It's not shameful to admit it. Pei Zhiyi has always been bold and responsible.

Gu Xizhou raised his lips, and a little more color appeared on his beautiful but pale face. It was obvious that he was very happy.

"Besides coming to see me, benefactor, do you have anything else to do today?"

Pei Zhiyi shook her head. She planned to rest for a few days before doing the mission at the Princess's Mansion. After all, she couldn't push herself too hard. So she had nothing else to do when she came to see Gu Xizhou today. She planned to return to the academy after confirming his safety.

"Then how about I take my benefactor out for some relaxation?"

"Relax?" He still wanted to relax at this hour? But Pei Zhiyi didn't refuse. "With the capital in such a mess right now, are you planning to go out and relax?"

Gu Xizhou nodded slightly, and then calmly closed the distance between him and Pei Zhiyi. "Actually, I'm not here to relax, but I've found some clues about this matter in the royal capital, and I need to go out of the city to verify it. It just so happens that I haven't seen my benefactor for a long time, so I thought of inviting him along."

Long time no see?

Didn’t we just see each other two days ago?

Pei Zhiyi touched his head, always feeling confused about what Gu Xizhou said.

"Row."

Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well follow Gu Xizhou to see what happens to him on the way.

It's always safer to have yourself by your side.

We left the royal capital and headed north until we arrived at Rhine City.

"Rhine City?" Pei Zhiyi had never heard of it or been there. It seemed that his knowledge was too shallow in the past.

"It's spring all year round here. It's the habitat of the elves among humans."

Gu Xizhou got off the carriage first, stretched out his hand, and waited for Pei Zhiyi to get off.

Pei Zhiyi took a look and felt that it was still not good, so he jumped down himself.

Gu Xizhou was not discouraged. After all, Mu Tou had finally gotten the hang of it, so he couldn't push her back too hastily.

"Each race has trade exchanges, but for tribes like elves and dwarves, if they live in their own ancestral lands, trade is very inconvenient. Therefore, the Human King specially allocated several cities for these special races to facilitate our daily transactions."

Pei Zhiyi nodded. It seemed that Ren Yang had indeed made many achievements.

"You said that the incident seems to be related to this place, right? But I remember that the elves have always been peace-loving, simple and proud, and they disdain to associate with darkness."

"My benefactor, not everyone is fixed." Gu Xizhou couldn't help but touch Pei Zhiyi's head. "Human nature is complex. You may know a person's face but not his heart. Little do you know that other races are the same. No matter who they are, as long as they have selfishness and desires, if they can't control them, they will go astray if they are not careful."

"That's exactly what they said." Pei Zhiyi nodded in agreement. "Anyway, I'm here with you. Do whatever you want. No one will dare to do anything to you."

It is rumored that the weapons of the elves are bows and arrows, and they have the most talented archers among the six tribes. If you have the chance, you can see them in person.

"Then I will trouble you to protect me more this time."

"no problem."

Pei Zhiyi and Gu Xizhou entered the city together. Perhaps because of their outstanding appearance, they quickly attracted the attention of the elves, who already loved beauty.

"Is this a human? Are there such good-looking humans among the human race?"

"They are as beautiful as us elves, not like humans at all."

……

Pei Zhiyi touched his ears. It was understandable that he praised them for their beauty, but why did he also praise himself?

"My benefactor is a little shy?"

Pei Zhiyi tilted his head, caught off guard when he met Gu Xizhou's gaze, looking down at him. He quickly looked away, feeling a little uncomfortable. "That's not the case. After all, everyone who has seen me always praises my good looks. I've gotten used to it after hearing so many compliments."

Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Yeah, you're right. When I first met you, I also thought you were very beautiful."

Pei Zhiyi's face turned red again.

"What are we going to do now?"

"Now, let's find a place to live." Gu Xizhou took Pei Zhiyi's hand, held it tightly, and explained: "In order to avoid the risk of being noticed by the elves in the future, my benefactor and I should help each other and pretend to be a loving couple in front of outsiders."
