The light and rhythmic beating sound of the hand in the corner of the wall came from the clock.
A moment ago, the slight charming atmosphere was rapidly dissipating, and a brief silence was plunged into the study. Whether it was a male witch or a witch, it took a little time to clear his thoughts again. In just a short time, Su Shijun took the lead in restoring his calmness.
"I'm not injured."
Compared to before, the witch's voice seemed a bit dry at the moment, and seemed to be a little annoyed: "It was just a little conflict with the wandering wizard...it was within the scope of the alliance."
"Why are you going to cause trouble for him?" Zheng Qing asked in a low voice.
"Because he is the most informed."
Su Shijun picked up his arms and leaned against the wide high-backed chair, looking confident: "Although there is no evidence, everyone knows that he is a black wizard. When I was in school, the bar was illegally trading dragon eggs... The black wizard always knows another black wizard. I bet that he must have had a connection with those crows... It is absolutely right to look for him!"
The witch's answer confirms the news Zheng Qing heard in D&K.
He couldn't help but take a step forward and asked impatiently: "How do you know that the crow is still there? Didn't the Sancha Sword and the school issue an announcement? The Crow Organization has been completely eliminated?"
Su Shijun rolled her eyes very beautifully.
"That kind of official documents can only bully ordinary wizards below the registration level." She curled her lips and showed a disapproving expression: "The fall of a great wizard is enough to give all aspects a reasonable explanation... As for the crows, I don't know if they really exist."
"and you……"
"I'm standing up for you!"
The witch finally realized that she could not expect Zheng Qing to understand the deep meaning behind her reserve, sighed and replied in a very straightforward way: "You are already the male owner of this mansion. This is a fact that Bouji Island or the entire wizarding world knows. If you are attacked and I don't care about it, then what's the relationship between us? I must express your statement at the banquet that night in a clearer way that everyone can understand."
When Zheng Qing heard the words "Male Master", he felt the urge to escape again.
He subconsciously touched the ancient and heavy bookshelf beside him, as if he wanted to find a trace of his mark as the owner of the mansion, but apart from the coldness at his fingertips, he could not find a true sense of belonging.
The maid brought two cups of hot milk into the study, and then quietly left.
In the light blue applique crabapple-style porcelain cup, a thin layer of milk has condensed on the surface of the warm milk. Zheng Qing held the cup and bowl and licked the layer of milk like a kitten. I wonder if it was due to psychological factors, but he felt that today's milk was particularly sweet.
It was not until the wizard licked the layer of milk that the male witch reorganized her fragmented thoughts clearly.
"I heard you smashed the Wandering Bar... Isn't this a little intense?" He was worried that Su Shijun's overreaction would arouse dissatisfaction from others.
"fierce?"
The witch sneered: "This action is already very gentle. In fact, the best and most direct choice is to smash the office building of the First University Working Committee. They must know who the crow is. But given my special identity, I am worried that this action will make people mistakenly think that the Yuexia Parliament intends to declare war on the school, which will break the delicate balance of power that maintains the entire alliance... So we can only settle for the second best and smash a small wanderer. No one will have any objection."
Zheng Qing had no doubt about this.
"The fight against the black wizard is the greatest consensus in the entire league," he nodded in agreement: "Doing this can really prevent others from making misjudgments..."
Su Shijun seemed very satisfied with Zheng Qing's attitude, picked up the cup of bowl, sipped a small sip of milk, and snorted softly: "If they hadn't crossed the red line first, this wouldn't have happened."
"Red Line."
Zheng Qing murmured, repeating the word, and suddenly sighed heavily: "I still can't accept it. Why does the school tolerate the existence of those crows? This is not a sober decision made by a rational organization. When a banana tree has wilt, the owner of the orchard should burn out the banana forest as soon as possible to prevent all other banana trees from being infected by fungi... Not only the sick leaves, but also its branches, trunks, roots, and even the soil that carries its growth. The thousand-mile dike collapses in an ant hole. Isn't this the truth that everyone understands?"
"The words "reason and sober" have nothing to do with any organization."
The witch seemed not to want to continue this boring topic, and her fingertips hit the armrests of the chair, and changed the subject: "Did there be any abnormalities in your body these days?"
Zheng Qing shook his head and suddenly felt that the milk in his hand was no longer fragrant: "Sometimes, I really doubt whether I am delirium as others said."
Su Shijun raised his slender index finger and shook it: "All wizards who do research know that they should not deny their intuition at will, do not easily shake their beliefs, and do not ignore any sudden abnormalities... Carefulness is the best partner for safety... The Chinese New Year is coming soon, do you want to bring Dongdong to wish your husband a New Year?"
She was reminding Zheng Qing to ask her for help in a vague way.
The boy showed a bitter smile on his face.
In fact, he has been to Sanyou Bookstore for four or five times in the past few days, but he has never seen any signs of the opening of the bookstore. If he had entered the first university, he would have thought that his husband had something to go out, but now he can read from this silent answer that his husband should not intend to interfere in this matter, but rather wanted to solve it himself.
When the boy thought that his eyebrows might turn into two soft tentacles, he couldn't help but feel depressed.
That's when.
He felt a little itchy on his neck, and he couldn't help but shrink his head and pull his collar. For a moment, he thought that the fantasy in his mind had become reality, and he began to grow tentacles on his body, but when his fingers touched the target object, a subtle and familiar magic came back along his fingertips, he immediately realized what it was.
He lowered his head, and unexpectedly, a light green paper crane was trembling out of his collar. The paper crane's two short wings intertwined left and right, climbing up his shoulders with difficulty, trying to peck at the boy's earlobe.
Before Zheng Qing could react, a breeze flashed through his ears like a fine rope.
The owner of Qingqiu Mansion reached out and grabbed the wings of the paper crane.
"Memorandum?" The witch raised her eyebrows, turned her fingertips of magic, and casually took apart the little paper crane that she was trying hard to resist.
Zheng Qing blinked, still thinking about what he had forgotten.
"Buy a bouquet of flowers for Jiang Yu on the first day of the Lunar New Year (Valentine's Day). Tell me. The first reminder on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month." Su Shijun narrowed his eyes, pronounced it very clearly, and even the brackets and three periods were not omitted.
Ps, this paper crane memo must have been written before, I forgot which chapter is specific_(:3"∠)_
