Xi Li: "..."

The two sides went all the way back to the room.

When Zhiyao was about to enter her room, she noticed Xili was still beside her, so she asked nonchalantly, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Xili nodded, so Zhiyao invited her into her room and they sat down around the low table one after another.

"Tell me, what's the matter." Zhiyao spoke first.

After thinking for a moment, Xili opened her lips and said, "Didn't you take a week off? Why are you back so soon?"

"It's done."

"Finished?"

"Yes, I've got what I wanted." Zhiyao said as she took out the Yin-Yang secret book wrapped in layers of plastic bags from the inner compartment of her travel bag and placed it on the table. Then she took out a spirit stone and placed it next to it. "These two are the key items, hehe."

After taking the spirit stone and taking a quick look at it, Xili placed it back on the table and continued to ask, "Did your trip go smoothly?"

"It's not smooth at all..." Zhiyao curled her lips.

After clearing his throat and taking out a can of drink to moisten it, Zhiyao began to tell her what had happened. Xili listened with an expressionless face, and gradually, her eyebrows trembled slightly.

"Are you still going to Rishang Mountain?" Xili suddenly interrupted.

"Yes, he went and brought back a little cutie." As Zhiyao finished speaking, Baiju appeared beside her.

When Xili saw Baiju, she was immediately shocked and her eyes slowly widened.

Although she didn't know the name of the white-haired little girl in front of her, she had a very deep impression of her. She vaguely remembered that she met her at Katashiro Shrine on the way to find Harukawa. In order to get the key to the Tainai Cave under the shrine, she played hide-and-seek with her for a while. However, what she never expected was that Zhiyao not only went to Rishang Mountain, but also brought back the evil spirits from that place.

In front of her was Zhiyao's indifferent expression, and echoing in her ears was a light descriptive tone. Somehow, a flame of resentment slowly ignited in Xili's heart. Then, after learning that Zhiyao had returned to the past and almost died at the hands of a monster, and was almost stuck in the past and unable to come back, the flame gradually turned into a raging nameless anger.

Chapter 149: [Xili is angry]

"You don't know how dangerous it was back then. When I was sprayed by Nu Nu's venom, I thought I was completely doomed and would spend the rest of my life here. But then I happened to meet the Thin Ice Butterfly, which could detoxify me."

Zhiyao continued to narrate with a beaming expression, completely unaware of the resentment in Xili's eyes.

He was in high spirits and took a gulp of the drink. After pausing for a few seconds and preparing to continue speaking, Xili's voice came from the other side.

"What happened next?" Xili's expression was indifferent and her voice was cold.

"Later, I successfully defeated Nu Nu." Zhi Yao was still cheerful and smiling.

"So you went to Higashiyama after all?"

"Of course I went. Didn't I tell you just now..."

When he was about to finish speaking, Zhiyao finally noticed that Xili was abnormal.

Xili still had that masked face that always remained expressionless, but her voice sounded different from before. Upon closer inspection, even her eyes seemed off.

"Uh, Xili, you..." Zhiyao asked cautiously while swallowing her saliva, feeling uneasy in her heart.

"I warned you so seriously, but you didn't take it to heart at all."

"No, I took what you said to heart, really." Zhiyao hurriedly defended herself.

"If you took it to heart, why did you still go to Rishang Mountain?" Xili asked calmly.

"Because I had no choice, I met the old Aso Kunihiko at the Aso family's former residence. I got Shiragiku's hair from him and learned that Shiragiku was waiting for me on Higashiyama."

"That's not right. Didn't you just say that you only found out later? At that time, you didn't know anything, you only knew who the owner of the hair was?"

"Oh yes, I only found out about it later."

"So you didn't have to go to Mt. Hijo without knowing it, but you went anyway, right?"

Zhiyao suddenly felt inexplicably nervous when hearing the questioning tone. He tried to calm down, but when his eyes met Xili's, he couldn't help but avoid her.

The two sat face to face in silence. After a moment, Xili's voice rang out again: "It seems you didn't listen to what I said at all."

This is a fact.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Zhiyao did not make any excuses and shrank his neck timidly.

But deep down, he believed that it was necessary for him to go to Rishang Mountain, so he said calmly: "Xi Li, it was indeed wrong of me not to listen to you, but it is an indisputable fact that Bai Ju is waiting for me there."

"so what?"

"So... I've returned safely, so don't dwell on it and don't make a fuss... uh."

The last sentence was like pouring a bucket of gasoline on a burning fire, turning the nameless anger into a raging fire.

"I'm just being unreasonable?" Xili's eyes widened slightly, and her eyebrows trembled slightly.

Apparently, she accidentally said something wrong, and Zhiyao quickly explained: "Ah, no, that's not what I meant, I meant..."

Xili, however, seemed not to have heard and interrupted him, continuing to speak to herself: "Sikong, I just borrowed travel expenses from Kurosawa, and I was planning to go look for Hinasaki next. Do you know why I was looking for her?"

Zhiyao was of course not aware of this matter, but considering the travel expenses mentioned earlier, she had a vague idea of ​​something.

In the end, I decided to wait for Xili to speak out herself.

"I'm going to borrow her exorcism camera," Xili said. "Once I get the camera, I'll go to Rishang Mountain to find you."

"You're coming to see me?" Zhiyao was a little bit unbelievable, with a look of astonishment on her face, "Aren't you quite taboo about that place?"

"It's taboo, but I have to go because I had a dream the night you left. I dreamed you appeared on Mt. Hijo. I followed you all the way to the Katashiro Shrine and you suddenly disappeared."

It was exactly the same as his own experience, which was too much of a coincidence. Zhiyao couldn't understand it at all and thought that Xili might have some unknown superpowers.

"After waking up, I didn't think of it as a trivial dream," Xili continued. "Because I remembered what happened to Mihua, I thought it was impossible for me to dream about something like this for no reason. I guessed something must have happened to you, so I kept waiting for you to call and tell me you were safe. But after a whole day, there was no call. So I told myself to wait two more days. If there was still no news, I would go to that mountain to find you. Later, because of some unpleasant memories, I became more and more scared, so I decided to leave early. It was just that I happened to see you coming back when I left."

"I see, I..." Zhiyao scratched her head in embarrassment, "...I really didn't expect you to have such a dream, and it made you so worried."

"Sikong, I know you're no ordinary person. You're very powerful, countless times more powerful than me, Mihua, Hinasaki Fuyu, and Fangshenglian. Not only do you have a magical artifact to exorcise spirits, you also possess a guardian spirit. Rishang Mountain, which we fear from the bottom of our hearts and avoid as much as possible, is probably no more than your own backyard in your eyes. Evil spirits are no different from insects in your eyes. Indeed, you have enough capital to make yourself fearless, but in the end, even as powerful as you are, you still encounter things that you are helpless against."

Perhaps because she rarely spoke so many words in one breath recently, Xili coughed because her throat was dry.

Seeing this, Zhiyao handed over the drink can on the table.

Xili didn't bother to worry about whether the drink had been drunk and that would lead to an indirect kiss. She took the drink and gulped it down. After her throat was dry, she continued:

"You were transported to the past by an irresistible mysterious force, and you almost died there and couldn't come back... Sikong, I once lost the motivation to live because of the sun rising on the mountain. It was you who slowly enlightened me and gave me goals and hope. You said there was no need to feel lonely because you and I had experienced exactly the same thing. You understood my feelings and were willing to stay by my side forever. But now, you are breaking your promise, tearing it up yourself, because——"

Xili took a deep breath.

"You're turning me back into the person I once was—"

The decibel of the sound suddenly increased, Zhiyao's body shook, and he was stunned for a moment. Then, as Xili slammed the table hard, his heart trembled.

He was stunned as he watched Xili stand up. It was not until Xili left the room that he suddenly reacted and chased after her at the speed of light.

Unfortunately it was too late.

Xili had already returned to her room, and the sound of the door being locked could be heard from behind.

There was no doubt that Xili was angry.

Thinking that he had to do something, Zhiyao knocked on the door decisively, shouting as he knocked.

"Xili."

There was no response from inside.

"Xili, don't be angry, just listen to me first..."

Still no response.

After a while, there was still no movement behind the door. Zhiyao put down her hand in disappointment, like a deflated ball.

"Hey, I made Xili angry, what should I do?" Wuhui appeared beside Zhiyao and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Sikong, it's all because of me." Bai Ju looked at Zhiyao weakly, her voice whispering, "I'm sorry."

"I'm not angry because I hate you, it's because I care about you too much. As the saying goes, caring too much makes you confused." Yaoboji analyzed objectively.

Perhaps she didn't know what was going on, Zhiyao glanced at them unhappily and went back to her room with a gloomy face.

Because of Xili's sudden disturbance, Zhiyao's originally good mood was overshadowed. In the room, Zhiyao lay flat on the tatami and stared at the ceiling. After being in a daze for a few minutes, he jumped up with a somersault.

Xili is angry and can only be coaxed later.

Now, I will go to the ancient capital first. If I come back early, I will naturally go to say hello.

after that……

Let’s go to Crimson and take a look.

I haven't seen her for a while, and I really miss that girl.

……

After crossing the courtyard, Zhiyao came to the door of Gudu's room. After knocking three times, the door opened.

"Hey, Sikong?" Seeing that it was Zhiyao, Gudu was extremely surprised, his face full of enthusiasm, "Didn't you take a week off? How come you're back on the third day?"

"Since I finish my work early, I can naturally come back to work early." Zhiyao smiled.

While talking, Gudu invited Zhiyao into the house and they sat on the floor.

"Where have you been?" Gudu asked.

"It's not a big place." Zhiyao kept her itinerary secret.

"Eh—it still needs to be kept secret." Gu Du gave a malicious smile. "Come to think of it, Xili just said she was going on a long trip and refused to reveal anything. I was wondering if she was going to see you."

A prophecy.

Zhiyao then turned her eyes away awkwardly, "Uh uh uh, that's not clear, anyway, we met downstairs, and then she followed us back."

"Really?!" Gudu suddenly brightened up. "Looks like she really is going to look for you. Great, Sikong. Xili is willing to go so far just to look for you. Our relationship is progressing well, hahahaha."

The girl started gossiping again, so Zhiyao decided to leave immediately.

"I just came to say hello, and I have something else to do. How about..."

Who would have thought that before he could stand up, Gudu held his shoulders to prevent him from getting up.

"Ahaha, alright, enough of that. I actually have something serious to discuss with you." Gu Du playfully stuck out his tongue. "It's about that novel. I'm currently revising the plot of the Onikou section. If you're not busy, you can stay and help me. Mainly, tell me in detail what happened during your time in the Secret Kingdom, the content of your conversations with Wuhui and Xiao Wuhui, your state of mind at the time, and so on."

Time flies. When Zhiyao looked at the clock again, it was almost four o'clock.

Shenhong would be out of school soon, so he hurriedly said goodbye.

……

At 4:30, the two met unexpectedly at the school gate.

Just like Gudu, Shenhong was surprised and happy to see Zhiyao.

"Sikong————" Shenhong was full of enthusiasm and trotted towards this side happily.

"Crimson, long time no see."

When her name was suddenly called, Shenhong was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal the next second.

They had known each other for such a long time and their relationship was quite close, so she thought there was no need to be so particular about this matter.

Not far away, Iyama Yuki was slowly walking towards this side.

"Mr. Sikong."

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Xing? How are you these days?"

"Who allowed you to call his name? Are you very familiar with Iyama-san?" Shenhong interrupted.

"What do you care?" Zhiyao said disdainfully.

"I'm mainly worried that you might have bad intentions towards her." Crimson grinned.

Then he was hit on the head immediately.

Not willing to be outdone, she was about to fight back when she saw Zhiyao had already run a short distance, so she jogged after him.

In the distance, Iyama Yuki watched the two people playing and chasing each other, and the corners of his mouth naturally rose.

They chased him all the way from the school gate to the bus stop. Zhiyao stopped because there were too many people and he was worried about an accident. Shenhong took the opportunity to grab his clothes and poked his temple hard, and then got to the point.

"Sikong, I'm about to graduate. What should I do after graduation?"

"Become the Sanhe God." Zhiyao tried hard to suppress his smirk.

"Seriously." Shenhong rolled her eyes at him.
