Chapter 105: The Pen of the Old Man
Update time:22--9
When the eldest sister saw Li Yu's nonchalant look, the angry look on her face became more obvious. Although she had lost her status in the Huaxian Tower, as a middle-level employee in the organization, it was difficult to retain her own identity.
It's still possible. "Do you want to get out on your own or do you want my help?"
It had only been a few breaths since Li Yu was awakened, but the beating objects on the table were still making subtle trembling sounds. In the blink of an eye, he probably understood what had happened. "I'm outside.
Wait!" He said as he passed by the eldest sister and went straight to the living room.
"Who brought you in?" Before Li Yu could step out of the door, the eldest sister's suppressed angry voice sounded again.
Li Yu turned around and smiled at her, "Don't you already understand?" As he said that, his eyes passed by the window on the side inadvertently, "Oh, it turns out it's not dawn yet. I didn't sleep well just now, so this is not the case.
I'm sorry to disturb your rest. If I get up late tomorrow, remember to call me in Room 1, Tianzi." When he finished speaking, he had already turned to the living room.
When Li Yu turned around, the anger on the eldest sister's face had mostly calmed down. She was indeed furious when she entered the door, and the slap she slapped on the dressing table was originally aimed at the person on the chair. She was still secretly thinking
It's strange that with Li Yu's current cultivation level, he was waiting there motionless, as if he expected it.
She would definitely stop. After sitting down in front of the dressing table, her face was already filled with doubts. This little trick was like a prank. Neither Li Yu nor herself would be easily fooled.
That's right, what is his intention? While he was pondering, Li Yu's voice came to his ears again.
"By the way, I forgot to give you something." Li Yu took out an object from his arms and shook it in the air.
The red candle in the room was about to burn out. While the long candle wick brought out wisps of light smoke, the light naturally became much brighter. The moment Li Yu raised his hand, the eldest sister recognized it. She didn't even wait for Li Yu to come over.
, said directly, "This is not my thing."
Li Yu arrived in front of the dressing table in a few steps, stretched out his hand, and handed the scroll to the eldest sister. "Didn't you stare at it before? I took it out of that building with great difficulty. Look..." He said with an eager expression.
Look at the eldest sister.
"If you have something to ask, just ask directly. Why bother beating around the bush?" The eldest sister did not accept the scroll. "This scroll was originally made by an old friend of mine. He has disappeared for a long time." As she spoke, her expression darkened.
He was obviously infected by the past. This surprised Li Yu. "You must have seen that painting?"
Li Yu nodded and placed the scroll on the dressing table, "Is this the clue he left?"
"I don't know, whether it's true or not, it's already too late." The eldest sister murmured to herself, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a look of regret flashed in her eyes.
Li Yu's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered a person. To be honest, this person was actually somewhat related to him. He had never heard anyone mention that person's name, and no one dared to say it, otherwise he would be criticized by the eldest sister.
Punishment. Xin Sixty-four, this is the code name he has used, and that person has also used it. To be precise, this is the code name of that mask.
"Are we going to the headquarters tomorrow?" Li Yu asked tentatively.
The eldest sister waited for a while before reacting. It seemed that some things that happened today had a great impact on her. "Yes, you go to rest early, and I will naturally find you tomorrow." She said and picked up the scroll on the table.
, and put it gently into the dresser drawer.
"In that case, why not lend me the mask I wore before? It might be useful tomorrow. It seems to say Xin Sixty-Four on it."
The eldest sister was shocked when she heard this, and the hand that closed the drawer trembled. This inadvertent movement made Li Yu feel certain. "No, no matter how good the disguise is, it is useless." She said, staring blankly into the bronze mirror.
His eyes were like looking at a stranger.
When Li Yu saw this, he had to go out. Although he said he got the answer, he felt as if he didn't get it. This feeling was very strange.
"That's all, just take this mask and think about it." Li Yu stopped at the door again, grabbed the thin thing in his hand with his backhand, said thank you softly, and went out.
And go.
The eldest sister still looked distracted and sat in front of the mirror without moving.
Although he had already made up his mind, Li Yu still glanced at the lintel of the door when he went out. As expected, it was empty, and he couldn't even find any traces.
Except for the cold wind blowing lightly outside, the Huaxian Tower was completely silent.
Standing at the door of Tianzi No. 2, Li Yu turned his head and looked at the opposite side. Sure enough, there was a wooden sign of Tianzi No. 1 on the door frame. But it was different from the one he saw before. There were no flowers and decorations. It was just an ordinary wooden sign.
That's it. If I have to say there's something outstanding about it, it's probably just those three words.
"Bang", there was a slight sound, and the door opened. Li Yu paused at the door for a while, feeling nothing. He looked back at the house number of Tianzi No. 1 again, and he walked straight into Tianzi No. 2.
This guest room was no stranger to him.
I don’t know who left this room last. There was a window facing the door that was not closed. Through it, I could see the hazy scenery outside. The world was unclear and not dark, and it was not far from dawn.
======================
Early on the next morning, Li Yu was awakened by a slight knock on the door, but it was a maid with a delicate face, holding a wooden basin in her hand, as if she had come to help him get up. "Master, the carriage is already waiting downstairs.
.”
"Where's the eldest sister? Is she also downstairs?" Li Yu asked casually.
The maid came over and put the wooden plate on the stand aside. Her cautious eyes did not dare to look at Li Yu. "Is the young master talking about the seventh girl? Not yet, she has just gotten up."
"Seventh girl?" Li Yu didn't know what these maids called the eldest sister, so he just hummed vaguely. After washing up casually, he went out and walked downstairs.
It was still early at this time, and there were only a few maids cleaning downstairs, and Uncle Kong hadn't come yet. He waited downstairs for a while and saw the eldest sister walking downstairs. Judging from the appearance,
, she has returned to her original appearance.
"Let's go!" Li Yu greeted and walked out the door, where a rather luxurious carriage was waiting quietly.
After the eldest sister came out of the door, she turned back and looked at the Huaxian Tower carefully before heading up the carriage.
