Chapter 21

When words are not enough to express the sincere heart, silence is the only narrative.

In the silence, the three kinds of thoughts seem to have no intersection and are entangled with each other.One is the uneasiness after being forced to suppress the confusion, the other is the appeal hidden behind the mask, and the other may not even know what state of mind he himself is in.

"How is your body today?" Shen Ye finally asked.

Chu Qi bowed his head respectfully: "Reporting to the master, the subordinates are in good health."

The stern answer, cold like a puppet who can't think.

Shen Ye took a deep breath, this was obviously what he wanted, but it was also what he hated.

"Really...that's fine."

Chu Qi was still half-bending respectfully.

The air around the two was inexplicably stagnant.

Xie Yi at the top resisted the dizziness in his head, it was difficult for him to know the relationship between the two in front of him with just a few words.But from Shen Ye's eyes, he still saw a difference.

This person must be very important to Master.

Seeing Shen Ye approaching Chu Qi, and listening to the ordinary conversation between the two, Xie Yi suddenly felt a little stuffy, a little happy, and a little sour.He couldn't tell whether it was for himself, for the master, or for the "Chu Qi" who didn't even meet him once.

Shen Ye took off Chu Qi's mask and looked at Chu Qi's expression.The eyes of the person in front of him were calm, without waves, and his complexion was always pale.As cold as thin ice, it shatters when touched.Shen Ye suddenly thought of another person, that person had a faint smile on his lips, as gentle as a gust of wind, blowing away.

Can't grasp, can't keep, can't let go.

How similar.

"Forget it." Shen Yeban closed his eyes, "just in case, you should go to Tong's side to have a look."

Chu Qi nodded: "Yes." After a moment of silence, "What else does the master want?"

It's a dull question, but it's from the other party's heart?Shen Ye closed his eyes: "Go down."

"Yes."

While speaking, Shen Ye turned around and left without looking back.

Knowing the pain, but never look back, never regret.Whether it's for him or for that person, Shen Ye thought, this is fine.

It's just that at this moment, he doesn't want to face Chu Qi's lifeless eyes, and he doesn't want to see Tong - there is another irreversible fact.

**********

Xie Yi leaned against the corner of the corridor calmly, and saw Chu Qi stop there as if nostalgic, and turned around after a long time.It's just that the mask has been put on again, covering the face of the other party.

Xie Yi originally wanted to follow Shen Ye, but now his heart was still throbbing, and he didn't dare to grasp that he could still hide from this place.And this man named Chu Qi appeared quietly, and then disappeared into the darkness again in a moment.

But in the blink of an eye, Xie Yi lost track of the two of them.

Looking up at the dim but magnificent dome, Xie Yi sighed and jumped down from the pillar.

The moment Xie Yi fell to the ground, the gleaming blade was already on his neck.

"Who are you? Why are you hiding here?" The cold words, without ups and downs, were Chu Qi who was pretending to leave.

Shen Ye was very tired today, the matter of Shen Xi, the matter of the seventh day of the lunar new year, the matter of Xie Yi, all kinds of things came one after another, which made him rarely lose his vigilance.But as an assassin, Chu Qi's forte is concealment, so why can't he find Xie Yi?

Xie Yi was taken aback for a moment, and when he got closer, he realized that there was an inexplicable familiarity between this person's figure and speech.After thinking for a while, he turned around as if nothing had happened, lowered his voice and said, "The Priest of Seven Kills sent me here."

The moment they turned around, the two people wearing masks were stunned, which was the only feeling.

If it wasn't for Chu Qi still holding the Tang knife in his hand, the two of them almost thought that their eyes were just a mirror.Obviously the clothes are not the same, but the feeling of familiarity is getting stronger and stronger, as if even breathing can be synchronized.

Xie Yi looked at the Tang Dao, blinked, feeling that he still had time to think about other things.But also, if the other party sees that he has the same weapon, he doesn't know how to express it - at this moment, he didn't think about why Shen Ye would prepare two identical knives.

Looking at the young man wearing a mask, Xie Yi felt nostalgia rising in his heart.

After Chu Qi was surprised, she suppressed that curiosity in her heart.

He still remembered that the master forbade him to have any curiosity except the master.

Without taking the knife back, Chu Qi said indifferently: "Tong?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Yi could only feel a sense of alienation rising between the two of them, and that hazy, vague, inexplicable sense of familiarity vanished into thin air.

It's a pity in my heart.

"Yes," Xie Yi said after deliberation, "Priest Seven Kills asked me to confirm whether Your Excellency the High Priest has forgotten to eat or sleep again."

Of course, this is a lie.

Thinking that Hitomi had indeed said similar words inadvertently, Chu Qi put down the knife with suspicion, but still did not believe it: "In that case, you will walk with me."

He has killed traitors and demons from the lower realms for his master, but the master does not allow him to do it to an innocent person in the clan, let alone if this person is dispatched by the priest of the Seven Kills.

Priest Qisha is one of the few people in Liuyue City who knows of his existence. If this person is really dispatched by the other party, he may be able to save his life.

Xie Yi naturally agreed: "Okay."

But on the next road, Xie Yi discovered Chu Qi's carefulness—the road he chose was very hidden, so hidden that it was unbelievable.Although Chu Qi walked very calmly, he avoided all the people from the Lie Shan tribe.

Along the way, they didn't meet anyone head-on.

Xie Yi swallowed the question that had reached his throat, and replaced it with: "You are still so careful." The tone was determined, as if he knew it very well.

Chu Qi remained silent, in Xie Yi's view, this was the default.

Xie Yi's thoughts turned quickly. This Chu Qi was obviously very close to the master, but he tried his best to hide his existence. Was it the master's intention?This person is not allowed to appear in front of others?

As expected, he knew too little, but He Tong didn't want to say more, otherwise, why would he walk around with his head covered, and it's still a mess up to now.

It's a pity that Xie Yi wouldn't ask Chu Qi's identity, otherwise, his identity might be revealed.

There was no words all the way, Xie Yi was led by Chu Qi, and returned to the Hall of Birth and Death in a tortuous way.It's just that when he passed a slightly dilapidated house, for some reason, he couldn't move forward half a step.

This is a typical building in Liuyue City. Although other buildings are also inexplicably decayed, it is not like here. Dust and cobwebs are all over everything—this is a building that has lost its popularity and has long since died.Xie Yi was even a little surprised that there were still spiders living in such a cold weather.

There was no sound of footsteps behind him, Chu Qi stopped in time, turned around and saw the unknown priest, staring blankly at the house that had long been unoccupied.

Unfortunately, this is a building that the owner does not allow him to approach.Chu Qi once had doubts, why he can go anywhere in Liuyue City at will, but this is his forbidden place.But now, these doubts no longer exist.

The master's word is everything.

"Still leaving?" Chu Qi said coldly.

Xie Yi just looked at the dusty steps, his heart beating violently.It seemed that there was a force trying to push him forward, but there was something curled up there in a daze, afraid of the truth behind it.

Chu Qi frowned slightly, but with his personality, he would not be irritable and rush.He stood not far away, just waiting for Xie Yi to recover himself.

"Here..." he heard him murmur.

"You shouldn't know, don't ask too much." Chu Qi interrupted, this is what the master once said to him.

Xie Yi sighed, took another look at the extremely dilapidated house, and followed Chu Qi's footsteps.
