Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words
Chapter 396 The Mask of the Past
The woman spoke, a faint smile on her face as she listened to Soichiro Hoshimi's story.
"Training room? Isn't that where she used to go when she was little? Now that she's become a Void Hunter, she shouldn't need to go to the training room anymore, right?"
"Can it still bear it?"
Hoshimi Soichiro was a little curious when he heard this, but the woman just smiled gently at his gaze and then explained:
"The training room isn't necessarily for practicing martial arts. It's indeed a place of important memories for her. If it weren't for that, it wouldn't have been preserved until now."
"makes sense."
Listening to the woman's words, Hoshimi Soichiro nodded, then sat aside and said
"Tell Ya to come over. I need to find out what's going on with that moving hole. I can go over there this afternoon and talk to them about it."
The woman nodded after hearing what Soichiro Hoshimi said, put her coat away, and walked towards the training room.
The woman walked through the corridor and into the small garden. The huge mansion of the Xingjian family was rather quiet.
At this moment in the training room, Xing Jianya was sitting quietly cross-legged on the ground, with her long hair falling like a soft waterfall.
Xing Jianya was lowering her head, her eyes were clear with a faint light, and she was holding a strange mask in her hands.
She lifted the mask with one hand and rubbed it with the other hand, feeling the slightly rough texture washed away by time, her expression dazed.
Her thoughts were drawn into distant memories.
Just a dozen seconds later, a slight sound of footsteps came from outside the training room. Xing Jianya's ears moved slightly, and then he came to his senses.
She turned her head to look at the door, and the woman's figure came into view. The two looked at each other, and a smile appeared on Xing Jianya's face.
"Mother, why are you here?"
"Your father is back and wants to know more about the moving hole. He said you've done a great deed again this time."
The woman sat down next to Xing Jianya, her clothes hanging on the clean floor. She looked at Xing Jianya with a hint of pride in her eyes.
Listening to her mother's words, Xing Jianya was stunned at first, and then after understanding what her mother was saying, she shook her head helplessly.
"Mother, I didn't do anything about this incident. I just went to take a look. In a sense, I was just taking the blame for someone else."
If it weren’t for Xuan Li, how could the problem of the moving hole be solved so easily?
As for his subsequent disappearance, Hoshimiya knew that he did not want to be exposed, so he took the credit for this task in the name of Air Anti-Aircraft Section 6.
After all, after the void disappeared, only Anti-Aircraft Section 6 was at the scene. Even if they did not take the initiative, without exposing Xuan Li, this matter would fall on Anti-Aircraft Section 6 anyway.
"Top skill?"
Ya's mother widened her eyes slightly, but she did not think that her child was a person who was greedy for credit. Firstly, her character was not like that, and secondly, her achievements were already countless.
"Well, there are some important people involved."
Xing Jianya nodded, feeling a little hesitant about whether to tell her mother about Xuan Li's existence.
After hesitating for a while, she still didn't speak. Perhaps it would be better to let Xuan Li take the initiative when everything was clear.
The woman next to her saw that Xing Jianya had fallen silent, and thought that she was not in a position to talk about the details, so she wanted to talk about something else, and her eyes fell on the mask in Xing Jianya's hand.
"Why did you come to the training room? What, are you thinking about him again?"
The woman covered her mouth and chuckled twice, then said
"Come to think of it, I still vividly remember the adorable expression on Miyabi's face when he got hit on the head by the wooden sword..."
When the words fell into her ears, Xing Jianya couldn't help but think of what happened before. Her face turned red and she felt a little helpless.
She was indeed a little ignorant at the beginning and was taught a lesson many times. To be honest, because of this, she now wants to see Xuan Li more often, but she also feels a complicated "timidity".
"But I have to say, apart from being mysterious, he's a very good teacher..."
The woman's eyes were bright as she recalled the past. Interesting memories came to her mind and she couldn't help but smile.
"Well, and that accident..."
Ya looked at the wooden sword hanging on the wall, which was the wooden sword her mother mentioned "using to hit the head".
When she was learning, the man held the knife and guided her step by step.
The woman nodded, and seeing Xing Jianya looked dazed, she decided not to continue. After all, every time she talked about this, she couldn't help but mention his sudden departure without saying goodbye.
And every time this happens...
The woman's eyes fell on Xing Jianya, and she was a little surprised. Ya didn't seem lonely at all, but seemed happy instead?
What's happening here?
Xing Jianya's mother was a little confused, and after Xing Jianya came to her senses, she stood up, put the mask aside, and then looked at the woman.
"Mother, this is a secret between us. You must never let Father know..."
Xing Jianya's mouth corners slightly raised, changing her previous serious look, blinked playfully, and opened her mouth to remind.
"Don't worry, I've kept it a secret. For so long, your father didn't know anything."
The woman raised her hand and pulled it in front, indicating that she was zipping herself up, with a smile on her face.
Compared to the way Hoshimiya's father gets along with him, the way she gets along with Hoshimiya is undoubtedly more easy-going.
When Miyabi was a child, she had always worried about certain problems, but later, the problems were solved, and she was able to watch Miyabi grow up to where she is today.
To be honest, she no longer has any worries.
"Let's go, mother. Didn't you say that father is still waiting for me?"
"I'll have to explain this to him later, but we also need to speak with one voice outside..."
Xing Jianya called out, then walked towards the door, talking about how to tell her father, but her mind was thinking about other things.
"Wuwei" didn't know how, but through the demon spirit, she was able to judge the details, and she no longer had to doubt it.
After all, he had beaten the knife up in some unknown way, and it had become obedient since then...
But right now, she still has one biggest doubt.
How are the two... connected?
It seems that the Fire Gatherer is a special being, so it is normal for him to have a long lifespan. Now it seems that Xuan Li is actually very likely an old man living in a young body?
If it had been longer, there would have been more than just the old man.
Shocked by her own thoughts, Xing Jianya quickly shook her head.
"By the way, we can go find that Qingyi woman later. I heard that Xuanli's martial arts were taught by her..."
"Master and disciple..."
"Tsk, then wouldn't that mean I'm..."
"Ya, what are you talking about?"
A voice came, interrupting Ya's murmur. After she came to her senses, she waved her hand quickly.
"No, nothing, mother, let's go."
Looking at Xing Jianya's back, the woman showed a hint of suspicion on her face.
This girl...what's going on?
Weird...
