In the driving seat, Chu Long said.

"Are you going home? Missy."

Hearing that Jingcheng nodded, he looked out the window.

As for Zhou Tianqian's invitation to say another day, it's not an excuse, but Jingcheng does have important things tomorrow.

It is an important matter concerning whether Jingcheng can return to the imperial capital smoothly.

Thinking of this, Jing Cheng couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking deep in his eyes.

---

In the early morning of the next day, after Jingcheng packed up and dressed, he walked out of the room and prepared to go downstairs for breakfast.

When she went down the stairs, she saw the maid who was diligently cleaning the living room.

But it was not the usual Lu Ling, but Shen Shuxue.

After seeing Jingcheng, Shen Shuxue hastily put down the tools in his hand, stepped forward respectfully and bowed.

"Good morning, miss."

Hearing this, Jing Cheng didn't say much, just nodded, then walked to the dining table and sat down.

Seeing this, Shen Shuxue couldn't help but sighed desolately in his heart, and then started cleaning.

Breakfast will start soon, and there are still three standard people on the table.

Because today was a rest day, Lin Nan was not wearing her school uniform, and sat beside Jing Cheng, eating slowly.

Wen Xian secretly glanced at Jing Cheng from time to time, feeling a little guilty for no reason.

After all, she was really afraid that Jingcheng would ask the question in the room yesterday again, otherwise, how would she answer, it would be impossible to really say what she said to Ouyang Shaoye!Then she is still alive!

Seeing that Jingcheng seemed to have forgotten about this matter, she never had the intention to ask, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After breakfast, Jing Cheng chatted with Lin Nan for a few more words, asked her about her school situation and how she felt about learning painting, and then came to the study.

But looking at the books neatly arranged on the shelves, she didn't intend to read them, but sat on the seat with calm eyes, as if she was waiting for something.

9 month 13 day.

According to the description in the original text, this is the exact time when that incident happened, and it is also a precise date that is rarely mentioned in the novel.

But the exact date is not because of this incident, but because Ouyang Shaoye is going on a date that day, so I remember it. After all, seriously, this incident has nothing to do with the current protagonist group. It happened to happen on that day That's all, the original text only mentioned it lightly.

So Jingcheng only knew that this incident would happen today, but he didn't know how long it was today.

This also meant that she could only wait, waiting for that call to arrive.

Time passed slowly, from daytime to dusk, even if he sat all day long, Jingcheng did not show any signs of anxiety, but was like a patient hunter.

Finally in the evening, the phone rang.

It was her father calling.

"Boss... your uncle... left at noon."

94. Sleepy Dragon

This is what Jingcheng is waiting for.

The death of her uncle, Jing Sixing.

Although this incident can be said to be a family grief in the Jing family, in fact, there is not much space in the original text, and it is even just a superficial mention.

As for Jing Cheng, he only suddenly remembered about Jing An Yao's coming-of-age ceremony.

Probably because in the current stage of the plot, although Ouyang Shaoye and Jing Anyao are not considered to have mutual affection, they can be regarded as friends, so Jing Anyao naturally notified him about the coming-of-age ceremony.

However, when inviting her over the phone, Ouyang Shaoye keenly sensed that she was in a wrong mood. After asking, she found out that it was her father who suddenly informed her that her uncle had passed away yesterday.

As for the so-called yesterday in Jing'an Yao's mouth, it happened that the exact date was rarely mentioned in the text, because Ouyang Shaoye was going on a date on this day.

So although the article doesn't describe whether Jing Cheng knew about this matter, after all, she is only a villain female supporting role who only appears when the protagonist is pretending to be in a fight, and she doesn't have much role in the show on weekdays.

But since someone from Jing Anyao has informed her, someone will definitely notify Jing Cheng.

That's why Jingcheng waited patiently.

Because this seemingly insignificant matter, which has nothing to do with the plot, is the opportunity she was waiting for, the opportunity that will happen shortly after Jing An Yao's coming-of-age ceremony.

Listening to Jing Shen's hoarse words like a dilapidated bellows, Jing Cheng was silent for a moment and asked.

"Uncle...how did you get there?"

The cause of Jing Sixing's death was not described in the plot, so it's natural that Jingcheng didn't know, but presumably it wasn't a vendetta. After all, the Jing family is notoriously protecting the weak.

And the facts were indeed as she had guessed, Jing Shen sighed long after hearing this.

"The old problem is gone..."

His extremely hoarse tone was a bit indescribably heavy. Even though he was in a high position and was used to too many intrigues, his heart gradually became cold, but every time he experienced this kind of life and death between relatives, he still felt sad.

Although... the relationship between him and Jing Sixing was not too harmonious.

Maybe it was because of the thought of these touching scenes, Jing Shen couldn't help but said to himself on the phone.

"I remember the old man used to always say that his heart is higher than the sky and his fate is thinner than paper... Alas, maybe this is a relief for him."

After finishing speaking, Jing Shen, who was full of mixed emotions, let out a long sigh.

Hearing this, Jing Cheng also recalled his own uncle.

Jing Sixing, the seventh child of the second generation of the Jing family, also the younger brother of Jing Shen, was congenitally weak and sick since childhood, and there was no cure for it.

In Jingcheng's childhood memory, he was always skinny and thin, sitting in a wheelchair as if he could be blown away by the slightest breeze. Perhaps it was because of his congenital misfortune that he had an extremely weird and cynical personality. It's convenient to lose your temper.

And whenever he sees children headed by Jingcheng, he will scold and drive them away impatiently.

At that time, Jing Cheng didn't understand very well, he just thought that this uncle hated them.

But when he grows up a little bit, he can vaguely understand, maybe when he sees children like us playing and playing with healthy hands and feet, he will also be stung... After all, he also wants a healthy body.

So it's not so much that he hates us children, it's better to say that he hates himself.

In short, as Jingcheng grew up and left his childhood, it is said that Jing Sixing, whose situation became more and more serious, also moved to the old house to recuperate, and he rarely saw this uncle again after that.

So Jing Cheng, who didn't have a deep relationship with him, naturally couldn't empathize with Jing Shen at this time, it was just a little emotional.

After all, with the means of the Jing family, it is not difficult to get access to the cultivation book... This also proves that even Chaofan cannot recover from Jing Sixing's situation, or it can be said that it is because of Chaofan that he can be hanged for so long.

And Jing Shen, who had been silent for a long time recalling the past, spoke again.

"Are you really.. wanting to come back? Boss.."

Perhaps because of Jing Sixing's death, Jing Shen once again experienced the feeling of the departure of a close relative, which also caused him to hesitate a little, and wanted to persuade Jing Cheng to give up this idea.

Jingcheng said lightly.

"Ah."

"Can you tell me.. the reason why you are so stubborn.. wanting to... come back?"

Of course Jing Cheng knew exactly what Jing Shen was asking about, and also understood what he was worried about, so after pondering for a moment, he spoke slowly.

"It's still waiting for me to settle my things and the account left by my mother's incident."

Even though he had speculated about the reason for Jing Cheng's return, Jing Shen frowned tightly after hearing her confession. After all, he really didn't want Jing Cheng to stir up this mess.

"This matter..has turned over...you..."

But before he finished speaking in an admonishing tone, he was interrupted by Jing Cheng's indifferent tone.

"This matter has not been turned over here."

Hearing that Jingshen's words froze, even though Jingcheng's tone was indifferent and devoid of emotion, as a father, Jingshen could still hear the killing intent and hostility in it.

Immediately he sighed, for some reason, he sighed more often today.

That's right, how could he not know the character of his own daughter.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak, and in the end he just said something suddenly felt lonely.

"After 1 month... it's your uncle's funeral... and this is your... only chance to come back."

This is the opportunity that Jingcheng was waiting for. In the original text, not long after Jing Anyao's coming-of-age ceremony ended, Jingcheng didn't go, but Jing Anyao went to the imperial capital to attend the funeral.

Because on the day of the funeral, all the immediate family members of the Jing family will go to express their condolences, which also means that Jing Cheng has an absolutely legitimate reason to go back, and no one can stop him.

It was precisely because Jing Shen knew this that he hesitated so much on the phone just now.

Immediately, the two stopped talking, but just before hanging up the phone, Jing Cheng told Jing Shen what he had asked yesterday from the three members of the Killing Temple and the location, and stated that they were the ones who were assassinated last time. made.

Hearing this, Jingshen didn't say much, but said he would deal with it.

Although it was just a seemingly random sentence, the people in the base areas revealed by the poisonous cat have already been sentenced to death at this time.

After hanging up the phone, Jing Cheng did not leave the study immediately.

Jingcheng is trapped, trapped in Tianhai. As long as she is here, she will seem to be bound by countless invisible chains. No matter what she does, she will not be able to escape the limitations of this place.

She looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, the room was not turned on, and the light was dim, and her eyes hidden under the fine eyelashes were unspeakably cold and dull.

You should sleep well, and wait for me to go back for revenge.

95. The Palm of the Revolving Lantern

Now that the funeral will indeed take place as usual as in the text, Jingcheng's last worries will naturally dissipate.

After all, before this, she couldn't guarantee that this would happen. What if there was a butterfly effect due to her time travel?It's like the plots of Huadu Kuangshao and the Strongest Killing God are now rotten.

So before receiving this call, Jingcheng didn't dare to be 100% sure.

But it's different now.

So what should be done now is to deal with the things that need to be prepared before going back during this one-month buffer time.

Jing Cheng sat in the study like this, his eyes full of thought.

It is impossible for her to return to the imperial capital empty-handed like this, including the previous idea of ​​integrating Tianhai's resources, which is actually preparing for it.

However, her so-called integration does not refer to forces, nor does it mean gathering all the forces of Tianhai for her use. It refers more to people, who are available and have training value.

To put it bluntly, Tianhai is still too small. Even if the power of the so-called four giants in Tianhai is moved to the imperial capital intact, it will not be noticeable at all.

So there is no need to recruit these forces whose upper limit has been fixed, not to mention that Jingcheng had better not be too ostentatious before returning to the imperial capital.

After all, if on the eve of returning to the imperial capital, he suddenly began to solicit influence, this is completely known to Sima Zhaozhi, and it will arouse the suspicion of some people and hinder it.

So what Jingcheng wants to bring back are people, those who have great potential but only lack a stage to display their value.

And Jingcheng's vision is extremely high. In Tianhai, where the three protagonists were born in the early stage, there are very few capable people who can really catch her eyes.

There is no doubt that Mo Qingzhu is among them, and then there is Zhou Tianqian who showed great value in a certain event in the mid-term, and the unexpected Chu Long is barely counted as one, and the last one has not been met yet.

That's right, excluding the capable people and strangers that Jingcheng may not yet know, only these four people can catch her eyes.

Of course, there is also Long Aotian's cool article, it is impossible for someone to cover up the light of the protagonist. Most of the characters in the article are like the halo of Jiangzhi, just seeing it is enough, let alone recruiting, how stupid you think cup.

And among these 4 people, Mo Qingzhu, who is the most outstanding, has not responded since the conversation that day, and until now.

But Jingcheng was not impatient, and waited patiently.

In short, these things can be slowed down first. What Jingcheng should consider most at the moment is safety.

Because after returning to the imperial capital, she is destined to have a relatively weak transitional period, so during this weak period, she must have at least one hole card that can protect herself, and have a way to deal with it when she is overturned. Do things without hesitation.

After all, she didn't go back to play.

Although Chu Long is ridiculously powerful enough, he still hasn't been able to break away from the realm of human beings. As for the practitioners around Jing Cheng, he will only protect her once at present.

So after thinking for a long time, Jingcheng still felt that he had to rely on himself.

"System." She called out from the bottom of her heart.

Immediately thereafter, the familiar startup sound sounded.
