This was the first sentence Zhuo Yi said to me after I recounted my conversation with Shen Shi.
But Shen Shi was still in the room at that time, so she didn't say anything clearly and just made insinuations: "Yu Chi is not a kind person. I have never seen her do anything good to others. She gave away such a necklace for no reason, saying that there was nothing in it." I definitely don’t believe it.”
"Yes, there must be some tricks, but we don't know how."
I tapped my fingers on the table: "But that's not what we should be discussing now. Since I already have the necklace, I feel it would be a pity not to do something with it."
"It's okay to make a fuss, but you have to figure out who is making a fuss about whom."
Zhuo Yi leaned his elbows on the table, stroking his hair there.
In fact, what she meant was very clear, that is, she didn't trust Shen Shi and felt that she was lying.
I thought the same thing, so I told Zhuo Yi, "You two sit here for a while. Come on, Shen Shi, follow me. I'll find a place for you to rest first."
"Ah, okay."
Then she put her feet down from the sofa, stood up and straightened out her somewhat messy clothes: "You haven't told me where this place is or the hotel you are staying in?"
"That's right. Don't ask. It's definitely safer than your home anyway."
I opened the door and turned back to ask Zhuo Yi: "Has the room been arranged? Find someone to lead the way. I will send the girl back to rest first."
"Ah, you two can just go directly."
Zhuo Yi's answer was a little perfunctory, and he shouted outside the door: "Hey, who is that at the door? Take Gu Yan to find a quieter room, far away from the chapel."
"yes."
A demon cultivator standing at the door responded, then stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Gu, let's go this way."
Later, I took Shen Shi behind her. She didn't say a word along the way, and she didn't say anything about raising her head to see what was going on here. She didn't know what she was thinking about.
I asked her: "What's wrong? You haven't recovered from the phone call with your mother just now?"
"Well, I'm not in a good mood."
"There's nothing you can do about it. Your mother is so old and you are an adult. She is free to do whatever she wants. If you don't like her, then don't get too close to her in the future."
In fact, I didn't want to persuade her, I just comforted her casually, and then quickly brought up the next topic: "Then we have agreed on what happened just now. I will let you stay by my side, but you have to cooperate with me when I need you. , that’s no problem, right?”
Shen Shi lowered her head and replied: "No problem, I'll just do whatever you tell me."
I said 'hmm' and nodded: "But there is one thing I have to tell you in advance, that is, staying with me is not as safe as you think, and may even be a little dangerous.
If you really encounter something difficult to deal with, if I am too busy to take care of you, your life may be in danger, so you must think carefully, if you can't accept it, I will send you back."
Only then did Shen Shi raise her head.
She looked at me and asked: "Do I think I am safe at home? To be honest, I would rather be killed than be scared to death by those messy things. I can't stand this kind of mental stimulation."
That’s all she said, and I had nothing more to say: “Okay, I’ll take you around for a few days, but what, when will we get there?”
"That's it right here."
The demon cultivator stopped at the door of a room, took out the key and opened the door: "You two, please come in."
I took the first step in.
This is a not too big room, just like a hotel double room, with a bed, a table, and a separate bathroom. The only difference is that all the rooms here have no windows.
I touched the wall and turned on the light in the room. Then I said to Shen Shi, "Just rest here for the night. I'll come and call you when I go out tomorrow morning."
Shen Shi stood at the door without moving.
She hesitated for a few seconds, then raised her head and asked me: "You won't wait until I wake up tomorrow morning to find that you are gone, right?"
"If you insist on thinking so, then I can only tell you that it's not necessary."
I smiled at Shen Shi: "If I really don't want you to stay by my side, I can knock you unconscious and throw you home now. You won't be able to find where this place is anyway, what do you think?"
"That's okay."
Shen Shi felt relieved and sat on the bed after walking into the room: "I have one more request..."
I didn't even give her a chance to finish my sentence: "Don't expect me to stay here with you all night. That's absolutely impossible. I still have things to do, so I can't waste all my time on you."
"But I..."
"Are you scared?"
I turned back and glanced at the demon cultivator standing at the door: "You don't have to go anywhere tonight, just stay at the door of her room and report to me in time if there is any trouble."
"Understood, I will help Mr. Gu take care of your guests."
The demon cultivator nodded to Shen Shi: "If you have anything to do, just ask me."
He expressed his position here, and I turned around and asked Shen Shi: "Do you think this is okay?"
This time, Shen Shi's mouth was finally blocked.
She sighed softly: "Hey, I'll trouble you then."
"Then I'll leave first. You can take a shower and rest early."
After saying these words, I backed out of the room. As soon as the door was closed, I leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette, lowered my voice and said to the demon cultivator next to me: "Brother, I'll keep her in mind tonight. Whenever there is a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy in the room, you should come immediately and report to me. Do you hear me clearly?
Also, if she says she can’t sleep and wants to go out to relax or something, that’s fine, but you must follow her every step of the way and pay attention to her every move at all times, sorry to bother you.”
Before the demon cultivator could respond, Zhuo Yi's soft voice came from behind me: "You are very cautious in doing things, Gu Yan."
The demon cultivator immediately saluted, but I pulled him: "Keep your voice down, don't alert the woman inside."
Then I turned back to Zhuo Yi and said, "There's nothing I can do. I'm afraid of being cheated. If I'm not careful after all this, my life may be gone one day."
"It's better to be cautious."
Zhuo Yi came over and glanced at the door of the room: "Although there is no evidence, why do I always feel that she is from Tianxin Island, or simply from Yu Chi?"
"It's normal, don't talk about you, I don't feel confident at the moment."
I took out my lighter and lit the cigarette. I raised my finger and pointed to the corridor: "Let's take a walk and chat while we walk?"
