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

Can lovers be pretended?

However, rarely, Pei Zhiyi did not refuse.

"So they are a couple. I was just about to make a move."

"Have you forgotten the rule that elves are not allowed to marry outsiders? Besides, even if you like someone, they may not like you back."

"But they are so beautiful. I think the Elf King will allow it under these circumstances."

"But unfortunately, the good-looking people are already a couple."

……

Pei Zhiyi and Gu Xizhou walked hand in hand along the way, and words like "I like you" kept coming to their ears.

"Did you know this would happen?"

Gu Xizhou pretended not to understand, "What is it, benefactor?"

Pei Zhiyi's words were stuck in his throat. He looked up at Gu Xizhou, who seemed very happy. Forget it, he decided to shut up.

"I've met the Imperial Master."

Before the two of them found the inn, the elf in charge of Rhine City had already received the message.

"Master, you have come from afar, why didn't you even say hello to us so we could welcome you?"

The one who came was Lingshu, the eldest son of the Elf King. Lingshu was the son of nature and was in charge of Rhine City. It was said that he would be the best choice for the next Elf King.

"I was just strolling around, so I didn't mean to disturb His Highness."

"Master, what are you talking about?" Ling Shu was very respectful to Gu Xizhou, and his elf ears were jumping with joy because of his master's joy.

"Although the inn in Rhine City is nice, it's still not worthy of the status of the Imperial Master. If Imperial Master doesn't mind, please stay in the main city with me."

"This..." Gu Xizhou looked at Pei Zhiyi. In Lingshu's eyes, it seemed that Gu Xizhou was seeking the consent of the woman next to him.

This is the first time that I have seen such a close woman around the National Master, and the National Master seems to have a special feeling for this woman.

Ling Shu understood and turned to Pei Zhiyi with a slight bow. "This person must be a good friend of the State Master. If he is a friend of the State Master, he is also a friend of my elves. If you don't mind, please stay in the main city with the State Master."

Pei Zhiyi didn't expect that the topic suddenly turned to himself.

However, Gu Xizhou didn't seem to disagree. It must be more convenient to do things after moving in... Pei Zhiyi simply nodded, "Since you have invited us so sincerely, we will naturally obey your order."

Lingshu was very happy that this human woman was very sensible.

"You two, please follow me."

Gu Xizhou tightened his grip on Pei Zhiyi, his eyes full of approval. He communicated directly with Pei Zhiyi along the way: "The strange murder case in the royal capital is very likely related to Ling Shu, but I don't have any definite evidence yet, so I will stay in the main city with him and we will act accordingly."

Pei Zhiyi nodded imperceptibly. "I don't think he looks like an elf who would do such a thing, because he has a strong natural aura that makes people want to get close to him. Moreover, he has a very high status and outstanding strength. Logically speaking, he should not have such a motive."

But Gu Xizhou also said that some people can only be judged by their appearance but not their true heart. Just by looking at them or by your first impression, you will never know what kind of person they are.

"The more powerful a person is, the more likely they are to hide their true nature. So, since we are so close to the water, we may need to stay here for a while."

"Now that I'm here, I'll follow your arrangements."

It was impossible for Pei Zhiyi to abandon Gu Xizhou and leave halfway. After all, his secret guards were just a bunch of useless show-offs. If he left, the elf prince was not a good person, and Gu Xizhou would be in real danger.

Tsk, he's already a sickly person, if this accelerates his death...

Forget it, I can’t say such unlucky words.

The two followed Lingshu into the main city. Lingshu directly arranged a large hall for them. "I see that you two have a close relationship, so I took the initiative to arrange for you two to live in the same place. You don't mind, right?"

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Xizhou looked at Pei Zhiyi with a smile, and then thanked Ling Shu: "I have troubled you very much, Your Highness."

"No problem. The elves' blessing festival will be held someday. The Imperial Master can bring your good friend to watch the ceremony."

"We actually happened to catch up with the elves' annual grand gathering. It seems we came at the perfect time."

Ling Shu smiled and said it was fate. "It's getting late, so let's not disturb the Imperial Master and your friend to rest. If there's anything you need, just tell the people below to do it."

"Thank you."

Ling Shu turned around with a smile, but the moment he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared and his eyes became meaningful.

"The aura around him has changed." Pei Zhiyi noticed the change in Ling Shu.

"Your benefactor can even notice such a subtle change?"

Pei Zhiyi nodded, "He's just a bit sensitive to certain things. He has murderous intentions towards us. If he really wants to kill us, he'll probably do it on the Blessing Festival he mentioned."

Gu Xizhou seemed to be thinking about something. "It's okay. Just take a good rest today. I'm a little tired after traveling all the way."

Pei Zhiyi nodded and still very cautiously set up a protective formation for the hall.

"I'll practice tonight, you get some rest."

Lingshu returned to his bedroom. As soon as he stepped in, the door behind him closed by itself.

"Why did Gu Xizhou come?"

Ling Shu was also very surprised, so he was a little irritated. "How did I know he would come?"

"We must not keep him here. He will hinder our plans."

"I know." Ling Shu's originally gentle temperament suddenly became irritable, becoming completely unlike him.

"But I can't tell the true strength of the female swordsman next to him. If I act rashly, I'll only be exposed early. So I plan to act on the day of the Blessing Festival. There will be many people around, and no one will know if two people die."

"But that female swordsman killed many of us in the Holy War. Her strength should not be underestimated. How do you plan to deal with her?"

Ling Shu frowned: "Is she the female swordsman who showed her prowess during the Holy War?"

"Yes."

The black fog slowly surrounded Lingshu, and the next second it transformed into a graceful black elf, forming a strong contrast with Lingshu's extreme whiteness.

"The incident in the capital was too big a deal. That old bastard, the Human King, would definitely not let it go, so he sent Gu Xizhou to investigate. I just don't know why, given that the matter was so covert, they ended up investigating us. Could it be that your puppet in the capital has been exposed?"

"Impossible." Ling Shu pushed aside the black elf's hand covering him and walked towards the throne. "I have carefully nurtured that puppet for many years, and I only awakened him this year. Besides, he has been integrated into the human race for so long, how could he be exposed so easily?"
