Grudge Breaker

Chapter 329: Heavy Mist
"Boss, save me~~ Look at the hair that was tied up for me, it's all falling off!"

"I can't take it anymore... Boss, cough cough cough!"

While yelling and baring his teeth, Xiao Biezhi stretched out his little claws from the Immortal Binding Rope and reached out to Song Weichen. He looked so shameless and servile that even the phantom spirit that he "gave birth to" could not help but feel disgusted with him.

"You're addicted to playing, aren't you?"

"Meatball, you are neither a fairy nor a monster. This rope can't trap you at all."

Song Weichen was merciless and used "heart sounds" to poke Xiao Biezhi's spine.

She was not unfamiliar with the Immortal Binding Rope. It had been placed in the Cangyue Pavilion of the Cangyue Mansion before. The pavilion was full of precious artifacts and magical weapons. The big bird had taken her there countless times.

Therefore, Song Weichen naturally knew that this magic weapon could only bind fairies, demons, and monsters. For a puppet like Xiao Biezhi, who was created through his own cultivation and with the help of the power of puppet control, the Immortal Binding Rope could not restrain it at all - it was all an act.

"Hey, big sister, just tell me how my acting is? Am I definitely the leading male role?"

Seeing that he was exposed, Xiao Biezhi laughed inwardly, which was completely different from his outward cries of pain.

"I have to act miserable so you can blame me. Besides, I also want to see if this pretty lady will feel sorry for Shushu."

After saying that, Xiao Biezhi simply screamed, kicked his little legs, stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes, pretending to be dead.

……

Song Weichen was terrified by this "rat catching game", but he couldn't just leave it there.

"Miss Shanhu, this is my phantom spirit, here to deliver information to Lord Cangyue. Please let it go."

Seeing that it was the white-robed venerable who came to visit, Shanhu did not dare to neglect him. She immediately ordered the servants to untie the fat rat. She personally held the rat in her arms and walked to Song Weichen to bow deeply.

"I didn't know it was a spiritual object in the Venerable's house. I'm sorry for the offense."

As she spoke, she stretched out her arm, but the little thing seemed to be growing on her chest and didn't move at all. It turned out that he had secretly hooked his fingernails on the collar of her clothes.

Little pervert!
Song Weichen cursed inwardly and reached out to pinch the base of its tail. The fat mouse was ticklish, especially at this spot. It immediately howled, jumped up and scurried onto Song Weichen's shoulder. At the end, it did not forget to act cute towards Shanhu.

"My pretty sister, the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. Next time Shushu comes, don't tie me up again. If you want me to hold you..." Before he could finish his words, Song Weichen, who could no longer bear it, took back the puppet.

"Well, Huanling talks too much. I'm sorry to make Miss Coral laugh."

Coral smiled and nodded, not caring, her attention was all on Song Weichen.

"Your Excellency should have stayed outside the mansion for quite a while today, right? Since you are here, why don't you just let me know, but instead use your spirit to sneak into the mansion when I open the door?"

Song Weichen was stunned. How did she know?
Following the peripheral vision of Coral, I looked at my boots and instantly realized - I was exposed.

Although she was wearing a white robe, the white moon boots on her feet were still the same pair as when she wore women's clothes. The cold dew in the Wangchuan River was deep, and frost was inevitable if she stayed there for a long time. The layer of white frost on the surface of her boots must have been there for at least two hours.

……

As expected of Gu Cangyue's personal maid, she has such terrifying insight.

Since she was found out, Song Weichen was too lazy to pretend anymore. However, she really couldn't think of a suitable excuse, so she just sat down on the armchair and asked back,
"Miss Coral is so smart, why don't you guess why I didn't pass on the message?"

"This……"

Coral was stunned. Why did this guy use a boomerang when he spoke? Did he kick the ball back?

But she was just a maid after all, and couldn't ask back. She hesitated for a while and said, "Is it because of that girl?..."

"Ah... ah yes, yes! It's because of her!"

Song Weichen slammed the table.

"What's wrong with you? The True Lord doesn't care. Is it appropriate for a dignified Cangyue Mansion to stop a weak woman at the door in the street? I was too embarrassed to come here, and I have been waiting in the dark, fearing that the girl would be embarrassed."

"That's why I let Phantom come in to deliver the information, but he was kidnapped by you guys, so I had to show up."

Song Weichen's fabricated expression at this moment seemed to be cast in the same mold as Xiao Biezhi's. As expected, like rat, like owner.

It was an extremely far-fetched explanation, but Coral seemed to accept it - or maybe she simply didn't want to delve into it.

"Your Excellency does not know this, this is exactly what the True Lord meant."

"No matter how noble or relative you are, I will thank you for your visit."

After Shanhu finished speaking, she bowed to Song Weichen.
"I respectfully escort Your Excellency out of the palace."

……

"What? Not even me?"

The whole play was performed, Song Weichen was full of official airs, and his voice suddenly rose a degree,
"I am his appointed assistant supervisor, and I have something important to discuss with you about the case!"

"Your Majesty..."

Shanhu was about to say something but stopped herself. She signaled everyone to leave with her eyes. After everyone had left, she knelt down in front of Song Weichen.
"Your Excellency, please go back. We won't be able to see each other."

"My lord...My lord, he is different from before."

"You saw that girl just now. The master used to protect her like his own heart. Now he won't even see her, so how can he see others..."

"How is the True Lord different from before?"

Song Weichen keenly caught the loophole in Shanhu's words. She helped Shanhu up from the ground and pulled her to sit on the chair beside her.

"Good sister, tell me the truth, what happened? As the supervisor, I have the obligation to share your worries."

Shanhu's eyes turned red, and she looked like she had a lot to say, but all she could say was mumbles.
"I can't see it, I can't see it."
.
"I can't see anyone, big sister. As soon as I entered the backyard, it was all foggy. I can't see a thing!"

The little unique heartbeat entered Song Weichen's ears. It turned out that taking it back to control the puppet was just a pretense. The little thing had been quietly released to find Gu Cangyue.

"This mist smells fishy and black! Big sister, are you sure the person you are looking for is really here? It looks weird and scary..." "Big sister, why don't we go back and call dad to come back, something is not right here..."

"Big sister, how about I hum a song for you? I always want to hum when I'm nervous!"

"Big……"

The chattering heartbeat of Xiao Biezhi suddenly stopped. Song Weichen felt a little panicked for no reason and wanted to call it back to control the puppet, but he couldn't connect with it after trying several times, as if it was blocked by some unknown barrier.

……

"No! I have to go to the backyard!"

Before she finished her words, she rushed out as if she knew the way. She was not only worried about the big bird, but also the little meatball!

"You can't go! Someone come! Stop the Venerable!" Coral, who had reacted, hurriedly chased after him.

Song Weichen now has a magical power close to Class B. Although the servants of Cangyue Mansion have strong magical powers, it is not easy for them to stop her, not to mention the identity of the White Robe Master of Sichen Mansion. No one dares to stop her. It seems that they can enter the backyard as long as they turn around the corridor.

She ran wildly in the corridor, but her memory went back to a long time ago.

“This is my favorite place,” he said.

At that time, he had just met Gu Cangyue, and he brought her to the backyard of Cangyue Mansion for the first time. There were winding corridors and flowing water, and in the distance, there were layers of mountains and fog, and the sound of birds singing. There was no excessive and luxurious decoration, but instead an atmosphere of scholarly style. Looking at this scene, one could understand the owner's mood.

It was also at that time that she was certain that the "notorious" him was not a bad person.

But why did Xiao Biezhi say that there was a thick and smelly fog in the backyard? What happened to Big Bird?
……

"puff!!"

Song Weichen, who was running wildly, suddenly spit out blood uncontrollably, and her legs went limp and she fell to the ground - she felt that just now, Xiao Biezhi was hit hard by something and could no longer gather into a shape, turning into a ball of scattered gas and sinking back into the puppet control unit.

The power was so brutal that it could actually pass through Xiao Biezhi and injure Song Weichen from a distance.

Song Weichen felt as if his chest was burning, and he couldn't stand up after trying several times.

Could it be... that it was really Gu Cangyue who did it?
"Sir!"

Shanhu arrived and saw Song Weichen lying on the ground with blood coming out of his mouth. She quickly pushed aside the guards who were surrounding him and helped him up.
"Call the palace doctor! Call the palace doctor quickly!"

“…No, that’s not necessary…”

Song Weichen looked at the end of the corridor which was just around the corner, where the backyard was.

She held Shanhu's arm, her eyes full of pleading.

"Let me take a look... just a look..."

"Your Excellency, why are you doing this?"

"Oh! Anyway... I'll help you over there."

Coral glanced at the guards, and everyone retreated tactfully.

One step, two steps...

Song Weichen finally saw clearly, how could this be the backyard of Cangyue Mansion?

At the end of the corridor, just a few feet away, it was obscured by thick black fog, like a barrier or a curtain wall, exuding a dangerous atmosphere that said "no one is allowed to enter and anyone who trespasses will be killed."

Song Weichen remembered that there was a tall banyan tree near the corridor in the backyard. It had been growing for many years, with lush branches and leaves, and was evergreen all the year round.

Looking in the general direction, I really saw a few banyan tree branches sticking out of the thick fog - the branches were dead and jagged, giving off an ominous look.

……

"Cang Yue?"

She called out tentatively.

It was quiet all around, but there was a thick fog and the air pressure was low.

The burning in his chest became worse, and the sweet taste in his throat surged again. Song Weichen closed his eyes and tried to stay awake.
"Forget it... let's go."
.
Above the black water of Wangchuan.

Song Weichen sat weakly on the board of her flying mount, the "electric scooter", with her back leaning against the handlebars of the scooter, barely maintaining her flying balance.

She didn't expect that Xiao Biezhi was responsible for driving when she went there, but she was alone when she came back. The little guinea pig was left with only a group of scattered energy sinking in the virtual world of controlling puppets.

She didn't expect the backyard of Cangyue Mansion to be in that state, and she didn't expect that after all this trouble, she didn't even get to see the big bird.

Thick fog gradually rose in Wangchuan, and flying became more and more difficult. I remember hearing someone say a long time ago that the weather in Wangchuan was related to Gu Cangyue's mood.

Song Weichen stared at the thick fog with wisps of black air floating above the black water. I guess he was not feeling well either...

"Cough cough."

She coughed up blood again, the burning pain in her chest did not subside. She reached for the medicine bottle with trembling hands, but touched something else instead - the glass bottle containing her poems and a thousand paper cranes hanging on the blue magnolia tree in the courtyard of Cangyue Mansion.

That was after the commander took her away, Song Weichen quietly released his alien-hand brother from the puppet to help her "send" it back.

She couldn't explain why she stole it, but it seemed that this was the only thing left in the entire Cangyue Mansion that could prove that the pure and passionate man she had met, who treated her like a treasure, was not an illusion.

There was another pain in his chest, his hands began to tremble and lose strength, and the glass bottle fell into the black water of Wangchuan River.

"don't want……"

Song Weichen subconsciously reached out to grab it, but he forgot that he was on a scooter without Xiao Bieqi to drive, and he lost his balance for a moment!
If the little meatball was still there, even if she fell, it would be able to drive and catch her steadily, but now...

The surroundings were filled with fog, and Song Weichen fell silently into the black water of Wangchuan like a piece of rag...
