Xiaolan shrank up and rolled to the side. She only felt the cold and sharp feathers of the golden bird scratching her cheek. There was another burst of pain. A wound appeared where the golden bird's feathers had touched, and it soon burst open.
Come on.
This is no ordinary bird!
Jinque's attack missed, but it did not hit the ground with huge momentum as Xiaolan expected. In that half second, Jinque's wings rolled up, as if there was a mass of air supporting it.
Likewise, the golden bird swam smoothly across the ground, and then rushed towards Xiaolan.
The golden bird was glowing with golden light, as if it were plated with gold...
Wait, gold plating?
Is it possible...
Xiaolan jumped out of the way and looked in the direction of Xu Ye out of the corner of her eye.
Xu Ye was still standing there, folding his arms and looking at Xiaolan who was running away in panic.
He held a spirit-locking whip in his right hand, but his left hand was empty.
Where is the other spirit-locking whip?
Xiaolan was lying on the ground, swung her arms suddenly, and her soul-locking whip collided heavily with the golden bird, making a harsh metal collision sound.
This golden bird is Xu Ye’s other spirit-locking whip!
This is Jiu Tan's one-step detection method - Linghua Detective.
Xiaolan saw Jasmine use this trick. At that time, she turned her spirit-locking whip into a cute little golden man named Oscar, and asked Oscar to carry out the survey work on their behalf.
At that time, Jasmine had sacrificed two spirit-locking whips in exchange for an Oscar. Xu Ye could actually use a spirit-locking whip to summon the spirit detective, and... his spirit detective was so fierce.
, so different from Oscar!
Xiaolan grasped the spirit-locking whip in her hand.
How about trying to summon Oscar yourself?
Xiaolan recalled what Oscar looked like and quickly gave up the idea.
Forget it, Oscar doesn't look like a combat model, so he has to pay for a whip in vain.
Xiaolan was thinking about what to do when she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening from downstairs, and then the door was slammed shut.
It must be Auntie Long who ran out to bring in reinforcements.
Wait, Auntie Long! You should be able to come over and help...
No, Auntie Long's life bug is afraid of Xu Ye. Now it seems that the poor spider may be afraid of the golden bird lurking behind Xu Ye.
Xiaolan knocked the golden bird away again, took two steps back with the reaction force of the two contacts, and raised the spirit-locking whip to point at the golden bird.
Give it a try and see if you can get rid of the splinters on the golden bird.
"Unloading the Spirit Detective!"
Before the golden light emitted by the spirit-locking whip could reach the golden bird, the golden bird's light flashed and then disappeared.
But this is not the result of Xiaolan's move.
"bundle."
Xu Ye said softly, and after Jinque disappeared, another spirit-locking whip returned to his hand.
It was he who put away the gold bird himself.
Xiaolan was panting, but Xu Ye was calm and calm. The two looked at each other and were silent for a while.
"I didn't expect you to know how to use the Spirit Remover," Xu Ye smiled softly, "Did Jasmine teach you?"
Xu Ye's eyes were soft. Compared with just now, he seemed to be a different person. No, it should be that he seemed to have changed back to his original self.
What the hell is he doing?
"What do you want to do?"
Xiaolan didn't show the slightest fear, and walked decisively to Jasmine's bedside. She lowered her head and looked at Jasmine on the bed. Seeing that she was breathing evenly, she felt relieved.
Hearing Xiaolan's question, Xu Ye's eyes darkened, but only for a short second, and he recovered quickly.
He did not speak, but lowered his eyes and looked deeply at Jasmine.
Xiaolan looked at Xu Ye and then at Jasmine. She always felt that there was something complicated in his eyes, which contained a hint of unbearability and a hint of... coldness.
The roots of Xiaolan's hair suddenly felt cold.
"What are you going to do to Jasmine?!"
Before he came in, Xu Ye summoned the spirit-locking whip. Was he planning to use the spirit-locking whip on Jasmine?
Xiao Lan first thought, maybe he wanted to take advantage of this moment to kill Jasmine and usurp the position of the head of the Nine Detectives, right?
But...it seems that the current Jiu Tan has no need to usurp the throne...
"Do you know Jasmine?"
Xu Ye did not answer Xiaolan's question, but looked up at Xiaolan and asked softly.
learn?
"I...of course I understand." Xiaolan didn't feel guilty.
"Oh?" Xu Ye asked, "Then what do you think Jasmine wants most?"
Xiaolan's heart began to spin. She was familiar with this trend of asking questions. It was not the first time that she had been led in this way. She felt that the next second, she would be led into some kind of brainwashing discussion.
Fortunately, I have had the experience of being fooled countless times. Although I haven't thought of a countermeasure yet, I at least know not to fall into the trap again.
"What do you think it is?" Xiaolan also crossed her arms and asked.
"I'm asking you."
"Since you asked me, you must have the answer in your own mind," Xiaolan said bluntly, "Why don't you tell me first."
Xu Ye sneered, but really didn't refute, and said, "What Jasmine wants most is dignity."
Oh, great, now it's my turn to raise my level of thinking.
"I don't think so," Xiaolan said, "Jasmine has indeed worked very hard to play the role of the head of the Nine Detectives. She may have only had this goal in her previous eighteen years of life, but what she really wants is not this."
"Then you said, what is it?"
"What Jasmine wants is peace," Xiaolan said. "This is what I know about Jasmine, and I am sure that this is the real Jasmine."
"Calm..." Xu Ye murmured for a while, "Calm and dignity are not in conflict."
Um?
"The dignity that Jasmine wants is dignity under calmness, and the peace that she wants is peace under dignity," Xu Ye said, "Not only do they not conflict, they can even be said to be unified."
etc.
Xiaolan was a little confused.
"You...what do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is that I want to give Jasmine what she wants," Xu Ye said in a stiff tone, facing Xiaolan, "Give her dignity and peace."
What's the meaning?
Xiaolan lowered her head and looked at Jasmine.
"Why pay it back?"
Xu Ye's body seemed to be shaking a little. He took a breath and said, "You are so smart, think about it yourself."
Dignity, and peace.
dignity.
calm.
Xiaolan's heart sank, and she felt like her internal organs were suddenly twitching into a ball.
Her eyes widened instantly, she pointed at Xu Ye in disbelief, and shouted loudly.
"You're going to kill Jasmine!"
Xu didn't say anything, but Xiaolan knew that this was the correct answer.
"Calm down!" Xiaolan scolded angrily, "I will give you this peace and dignity, do you want it?!"
Xu Ye shivered even more violently. He slowly put down his hands. When Xiaolan was already ready to fight, he loosened his hands and threw the spirit-locking whip to the ground.
