[Magic Moment] Feather of the Night

The weather in Notting Harbor changes as soon as it says it will. It was sunny just a moment ago, but when I walked out of Bai Yue's branch hall, it turned into a drizzle.

I wandered the streets of Notting Harbor without an umbrella, letting the rain wet my long black hair.My snow-white mage robe was stained with rain, sticking to my body wetly.I must be very seductive like this, because as soon as a middle-aged man who was drunk under the eaves saw me, he swept all over my body lustfully, showing a lewd smile on his side.Normally, I would have made him unable to eat, but today, I just quickened my pace and walked past him indifferently.

The sound of the waves is getting louder.

It turned out that I unknowingly walked the old path two years ago and came to the beach again.

The waves crashed against the reef, making a clattering sound.The raindrops hit the waves, and they were swallowed by the waves without even a ripple.I walked up to a rock, which looked familiar, but after careful consideration, I realized that this was the place where I hid when I followed those people two years ago.I recalled Chen Xia, his hearty smile, masculine appearance and long fiery hair.

At that time, I made an agreement with him to meet in two years.

At that time, I also felt that two years is such a long number.

But in a flash, two years have passed like this.

I found myself in a daze in the rain.

Clothes were already soaked by rain.

Suddenly want to see him.

Seeing the hearty smile blooming on his face again, hearing him speak.

That white building still stood alone in the wind and rain.

I went to the door and rang the bell.

Jingle Bell.

Jingle Bell.

Jingle Bell……

No response.I stood in a daze in a daze.

until a hand rests on my shoulder.

The fingers are cold, and the cold feeling penetrates into my skin through the cloth.This person is so unaware that with my current perception, I didn't realize his existence at all.

A trace of vigilance flashed in my heart, I turned around abruptly, Feng Yin turned into a blade, and slashed at the person passing by.

[Cross Slash], the eighth-level Fengyin synthesis skill.At such a short distance, and under the effect of the acceleration of the time crystal, I am sure to chop any enemy below level [-] into meat paste.But it was such a powerful blow that it was ineffective against the person in front of him.

The cross cut brushed past his body and flew over, blasting away a piece of sand.

He didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.

I took a step back and slammed the door.The visitor raised his head, and I saw a silver-white smiling mask covering his face, which was indescribably weird.

His long silver-gray hair was well maintained, loosely tied behind his head with a dark green ribbon, and the long silver strands danced in the wind.

A person I seem to have met somewhere, but I just can't remember it for some reason.

One thing is certain: judging from the adroitness with which he avoided my blow just now, I was far from being his match.

"What are you going to do?" I looked at him warily.

He raised his chin slightly, his voice was cold and strange: "What are you doing standing here?"

"I want to find the owner here."

"Chen Xia left Nottingham half a month ago to go to Erling to participate in the selection competition." The masked man looked at me, and there was a strange light in the blue pupils.

Tryouts.I almost forgot.

Two years ago, Chen Xia and I made an agreement to see each other in the trials.

Chen Yu's original plan was to ask me to go to Tianling to get the staff and then go to the capital Erling's competition.

I turned my face away to avoid his gaze. Although he didn't show any hostility so far, for some reason, I felt the nameless oppression and threat in front of him: "If this is the case, I won't stand here stupidly It's raining."

I hurried past him.

He quietly watched me walk away, and then he didn't see any movement, and the next moment he reappeared in front of me.

"Are you Master Lan?" I recognized his space shuttle just now, and I was quite surprised.

He didn't answer.

"Why are you in my way." I tried again, unsuccessfully, to move away from him.

"Where are you going."

"Use. You. Control." I hissed these three words through my teeth.

"Heh. Heh." He smiled softly, and stretched out his long and thin fingers to play with the waterfall-like hair, "You are going to Erling to see your master Chen Yu, aren't you? That guy, when you are not around If you steal your mouth, you will be angry if you see it."

There was a touch of slack in my eyes, but now it has completely disappeared.

"How do you know my master is Chen Yu?"

"I know a lot of things, what's so strange about knowing your master."

"Also, what did you mean by what you just said?"

"It's literally." The Laughing Man smiled maliciously, "He told you to leave for Erling from here, and he will wait for you there in three days. Isn't it?"

"So what?" I felt like I was being manipulated by him, which was absolutely uncomfortable.

"Haven't you ever wondered what he was doing during the few days you were gone?"

"what do you want to say in the end--"

"Don't worry, don't worry," before I could react, he had put a slender white finger on my lips to stop me from speaking.The cold touch on his lips made my heart tremble inexplicably, but he acted nonchalantly: "I know what he told you. He said that when you went to find the staff, he would go to Erling to sign you up for this year's trials, and then in There's waiting for you. He's lying. He's not in Oring, he's in Ciri."

"...What does this have to do with you?"

"He has been living in Yanfu since the day you left him."

"Stop harassing me, okay—"

"With your mother."

It took me a long time to understand what he was talking about. "You are talking nonsense!!!" I was so angry that Feng Yin swished back to my hand and pointed at the tip of his nose, "I warn you: if you say another similar word to slander my mother and my master, I will kill you!" You look good!!!"

"You look so cute when you're angry." He folded his arms and looked down at me, his nimble blue pupils reflected his fascinated look.

"You're crazy!!!" I felt my face was burning hot, I didn't even need to look to know I was blushing, "Do you realize what you're talking about!!!"

"I'm sober." He smiled slightly, but looked at me with more ambiguous eyes.

"Don't, don't... don't look at me with that kind of eyes, okay, as if I'm a dim sum." I said this sentence without thinking about it.God, what the hell am I talking about... I want to slap myself hard as soon as the words come out of my mouth! ! !

"Huh?" He was slightly stunned by my question, I couldn't see his expression through the mask, but thank God, the strange look in his eyes finally disappeared.

I was greatly relieved.

"So, you don't believe me?" He tilted his head to look at me.

This man is absolutely insane.

Rivalry with madmen is not in my tradition.He is stronger than me, he talks crazy, and he can't hide, what should I do?You can't let him speak ill of my master and mother, right?

"If you don't have evidence, don't just talk about it." I replied.

This had some effect: the teasing in the Laughing Man's eyes disappeared.Just when I thought I had gagged him and was smug about it, the hand he had touched my lips reached out and suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing, you—" I was protesting loudly when a wonderful halo of blue and black intertwined spread out from his body and enveloped me.

My vision suddenly became confused.

I seem to have fallen from a high place...

Whoops!it hurts! ! !

I fell so badly that I struggled to sit up staggeringly. The ass that hit the ground first was painful.The bright sun shines on my body, it is warm, I look up, just in time to see the trees in the Furui forest covered with a golden layer of sunlight.

Fury Forest? !

Could it be that I have already returned to Ciri Town?

I got up and rubbed my eyes.Yes, I am indeed at the edge of the Forest of Fury.That masked weirdo actually used a teleportation spell to transport me here.

Wait...what about others?

I looked around and there was no sign of him anywhere.

He just walked away.

It came inexplicably, and it went even more inexplicably.

I scratched my head, and subconsciously walked along the forest path towards Siri Town.

The sun is gradually setting to the west, and it is dusk.

The burning clouds in the sky are too beautiful to behold.

A crow croaked and flew overhead.

Bad omen.

I passed a clearing in the woods and stopped suddenly.

Five years ago, ten-year-old me stood here watching a 13-year-old girl say goodbye to me and disappear into thin air.

These years, I don't know if she is doing well?

We said we would see each other again, but to this day, we have never missed each other since we parted ways.

I sighed and moved on.

I originally planned to set off from Notting Harbor to the capital directly after getting the staff, but the appearance of this smiling man disrupted all my plans.I must hurry to Aino's teleportation point, and from there rejoin Nottingham.I was already very tight on time, but this is fine, I must be late.

But then again, it's getting dark, anyway, being late is a sure thing, and I don't care if it takes a day or two, why don't I go home today and rest for a night, and leave for Aino tomorrow?

It happened that I hadn't seen my mother for more than half a year, so I went back to see her and talk to her today.

Ok, deal.

My footsteps suddenly became brisk, and I trot all the way back to the door of the house, and I jumped into the fence lightly without saying hello.

Since my father passed away, my family's situation has been worsening day by day. If Master Chen Yu hadn't rescued our mother and son, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to keep this mansion.There used to be a dozen or so servants in my family, but now more than half of them have left, and only a few loyal ones stayed, and Yinger, my mother's personal maid, was one.As soon as I turned into the yard, I saw her watering the flowers. Suddenly, I walked behind her quietly and covered her eyes abruptly.

"Ah—" Ying'er screamed, and the kettle in her hand fell, and I caught it quickly.

"it's me."

"It turned out to be the young master!" Ying'er pressed her chest, her chest heaving violently, "Master, you scared me to death! Don't be so scary in the future, please!"

"I'm really sorry, I didn't expect you to be so scared. I definitely won't do it next time." I replied, "Where's my mother?"

Ying'er dodged my gaze: "She...she didn't know that you would come back today, so she should have already slept. You can look for her tomorrow."

"Impossible, I don't know her temper yet, and she will never sleep until the next watch. Take me to see her."

"Master, it's really not possible..."

"Why?" Suspicion suddenly arose in my heart, "What's wrong? What happened to her?"

"It's okay..." Her evasive demeanor only made me more suspicious, "Oh, don't ask, you must be tired after a day of running around, so hurry up and rest. I'll clean up your room—"

"No, I won't go to rest until you make it clear." I insisted.

"Please don't ask, young master!" Ying'er's eyes were filled with anxious tears, "It's inconvenient for her! There's——" In her room, she covered her mouth in panic.

She slipped up.

"Inconvenient?!" I repeated these three words in disbelief, and looked down at the panicked maid, "What's inconvenient? You said she has it in her room. What's there?"

The words of the smiling man suddenly flashed through his heart like lightning.

I think I know what the second half of her sentence is.

"You mean 'there's a man in her room,' don't you?” I asked her, trying to look relaxed.

From the look on her face I could tell I was right.

The fiery heart suddenly became colder than a glacier.

My voice was already trembling, but I still tried my best to maintain a relaxed expression: "Then, may I take the liberty to ask who is the person who is talking to my mother in Wushan?"

"Young master, don't be so eccentric, Ying'er can't bear it..."

"Say it quickly!!!" My face suddenly sank, my eyes showed a fierce look, and I asked viciously.

"Your...your master," Ying'er replied tremblingly, "Chen Yu."
