"I didn't expect you to maintain your health at such a young age." Ximen Xue shrugged, then blinked at Ye Qing and said, "How afraid of death must you be?"
"Tch!" Ye Qing rolled his eyes and asked, "I don't believe you are not afraid of death!"
Afraid?
Ximen Xue asked herself in her heart. In fact, she didn't know the answer. After all, she had never experienced the threat of death.
She didn't know what it would be like. It was impossible to assume what kind of mental state she would be in if one day she really faced the threat of death.
It was difficult to answer, so Ximen Xue could only shrug.
Ye Qing glanced at her and said slowly: "No one in this world is not afraid of death. In fact, I am no exception. When faced with the threat of death, we must quickly find a way to defeat it."
The fear caused by death leads to death and rebirth.”
Ximen Xue glanced at Ye Qing and said with a smile: "Do you care about me?"
In fact, Ye Qing didn't even know what was wrong with him. He actually talked about death with Ximen Xue. This shouldn't happen!
Is this kind of reminder a sign of concern?
have no idea!
But one thing Ye Qing knew was that Ximen Xue might face death threats.
After all, the person behind Ximen Xue is investigating the four great masters of the country. If something goes wrong, it could be fatal.
As his adopted daughter and apprentice, can Ximen Xue avoid it?
Because he knew this, when Ximen Xue mentioned the word death, Ye Qing couldn't help but remind this girl.
Maybe, this is concern.
However, Ye Qing absolutely does not admit that this is the kind of relationship between a man and a woman, but only because he is grateful to the person behind Ximen Xue.
Ye Qing shrugged and said: "It's a kind reminder. After all, you have helped me somewhat from yesterday to now. This can be regarded as a reward."
"Is it just a reward? That's really disappointing!" Ximen Xue responded with a shrug.
"Hmph...what else do you think you can do?" Ye Qing curled his lips, then raised his hands and said, "I won't talk to you anymore, I have to go back to sleep!"
After saying that, he followed Jiang Hailu back to the car. In fact, today's trip to the racecourse was really unnecessary.
But there was no other way. Who told him to think of the subsequent plan on the road?
Ximen Xue didn't pester Ye Qing anymore, but drove away alone. Of course, she didn't go back to the teahouse. Well...she lived on the third floor of the teahouse, so it was both her shop and hers.
Home.
At this time, she drove to the opposite side of the ruins of Lao Ye's house, which was the canteen opened by the scarred man.
She had always been curious about the ruins opposite the canteen. Why didn't the government clean up the ruins and auction them off for commercial development? Even if it wasn't for commercial development, it would be nice to build a square or something.
Well...it's better than just letting it go to waste, right?
In her opinion, having such a place in the center of Kyoto really affects the appearance of the city.
Obviously, she didn't know that the ruins were the old residence of Ye Qing's family. Well... the scarred man had never mentioned this to her.
Moreover, the residents opposite the ruins all moved in later, so no one really knows why the ruins are abandoned.
Well... there used to be no homes across from the ruins, but after the murder of the old Ye family, the government auctioned off these lands one after another for development.
Obviously, when the old Ye family was still there, considering the status of the old Ye family, the government did not sell the land opposite the Ye family manor, but planted a forest. Now the trees are gone, and what appears is a forest.
Commercial and residential buildings.
The scarred man rented a remote storefront under a commercial building and opened this small shop.
To be honest, this canteen is too remote and business has never been good. Perhaps it is for this reason that for more than ten years, the owner has only rented the shop to the scarred man. There is no other way, except for him, no one else comes to rent.
To the owner, this scarred man is quite good. He pays the rent on time every year and takes the initiative to increase the rent by a certain percentage every year.
To be honest, the owner has always been curious. Most of the canteens opened by the scarred man are losing money, so why does he keep renting them?
Although it was strange, he couldn't stop people if they were willing to rent. After all, if the scarred man didn't rent, no one would care about this facade.
Ximen Xue turned back and took a deep look at the ruins of the Ye family. Such behavior made her a little strange. What happened to her?
I have come here many times, and every time I come here I only take a quick glance at it, but I have never taken a deep look.
However, she didn't know what happened today. She just wanted to take a look at the ruins riddled with holes. To be honest, a familiar feeling arose deep in her heart.
But this feeling was a bit ethereal and she couldn't grasp it.
Shaking her head, she turned and walked into an alleyway next to the canteen.
Soon a heavy voice sounded in the alleyway: "You are here!"
"Yeah!" Ximen Xue nodded.
She was not frightened by the sudden sound in the darkness, but nodded with a normal expression.
Hmm... This voice is so familiar to her. Isn't it the voice of the person behind her?
And every time they came, they always talked in dark alleys, so she was used to the sudden sounds.
"Why are you here so late?" the scarred man asked in confusion.
The light was too dark and Ximenxue couldn't see the scarred man's face. If she could see it, she would definitely be able to detect the care on the scarred man's face.
"I went to see Ye Qing today." Ximen Xue answered the question.
However, the scarred man understood what she meant and asked thoughtfully: "Did he do something else?"
"It's nothing!" Ximen Xue shook his head and said, "I just went with him to go through the procedures for transferring the rose garden with Qin Feiyang, and then went to the racecourse. Well... those two wanted to plot against him.
The guy was locked up there."
"Isn't this quite normal?" The scarred man asked in surprise. If he was just reporting Ye Qing's whereabouts, Ximen Xue didn't need to make a trip. After all, he had instructed Ximen Xue to report only major matters before reporting them. This kind of trivial matter wouldn't matter.
It is necessary to report!
"I feel strange." Ximenxue said.
"What's weird?" the scarred man asked again.
"He specially drove to the racecourse in the suburbs to take a look at the two guys. He neither interrogated nor did anything else. He just took a look and left." Ximen Xue said thoughtfully.
"It's really strange to come here for a special trip and then leave after just one look." The scarred man also said with some confusion.
