Chapter 204: Something Seems Off

et closer to him, as if only by being near him could she find relief. However, this strange feeling also filled her with fear. 。“Little song…” His voice was hoarse and rough, as if something was amiss...Hidden in the shadows, Qian Tingxuan actually only faintly heard when Yè Wúhuān sang a song. He saw Yè Wúhuān's sudden nervousness and surging killing intent, and when he looked into the eyes of the singer, he already suspected that no matter how a person's face changes, their eyes will not.

Hearing their conversation just now, that voice, the “Ke’er”, made him wonder if he was missing Ge'er too much, so much so that he mistook Ke’er for Ge'er. And it was a completely unfamiliar face. 。 Xiao Yu and Feng Yan were just about to rest when suddenly there was a knock on the door. 。After what just happened, both of them looked at each other warily. 。"Who" Feng Yanniang instinctively rose with her sword. 。 “Feng Louzhu, it’s me, He Hongxiu!” "It's actually Zhuangzhu He!" Feng Yanniang hurriedly stepped forward, opened the door, and welcomed He Hongxiu in. 。To her surprise, it wasn't the little maidservant who came to open the door, but Fenglou's master himself. He Hongxiu was a bit confused, but she didn't show it. Seeing Xiao Yuge sitting on the bed, she went over and sat down: "Young lady, how are your injuries" She finished speaking and prepared to take her pulse. 。But to her surprise, Xiao Yuge nimbly dodged her hand: “Thank you for your concern, Master Zhuang. I’m much better now.” 。" She reached out with her hand, but grasped at empty air. She was momentarily startled, then smiled and casually looked around the room: "That's good." 。I wonder if the master of this Wind Pavilion is comfortable living here. 。"Feng Yianniang hurriedly replied, "Thank you, Master He, for your hospitality. Everything is fine." 。"That's good " 。Today's events must have startled you all. It was the lord of this estate's negligence. Tomorrow, I shall offer my sincerest apologies and present valuable gifts to atone for my failings! "Lord He, please don't be so formal!""Especially the young lady, you must have been terrified today" He Hongxiu also wore a veil, but Xiao Yuge always felt she was familiar. However, she couldn't quite place her for a moment. 。Ke'er has grown up around me since she was a child and has seen all sorts of things, so there's no need to worry. 。“Feng Yan’niang, who was standing nearby, took over the conversation.” 。"So your name is Kaede, huh" 。He Hongxiu glanced at Xiao Yuge. In fact, she also felt that there was a familiar feeling about this girl. 。"Well, 。"Carol is a good name" 。"He Hongxiu took a look and didn't have much to talk about, so she got up and said goodbye: "There's nothing else. I just came to see the little girl's injury. Since the little girl is fine, I won't bother you." 。"Master He, please walk slowly!" Feng Yan'ng sent He Hongxiu to the door before turning around. 。He Hongxiu walked and recalled everything that had just happened. She always felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was. So, she asked the maidservant beside her: "Xiaohong, you went in just now, did you feel anything strange about their room" Xiaohong thought for a moment, shaking her head: "Nothing seemed wrong""No! It's just that I felt something was off..." 。"He Hongxiu was walking when suddenly she thought of something and slapped her thigh. "That's right, their positions are wrong!" "Wrong positions" Xiaohong looked confused and shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand. 。"I ask you, if someone were to knock on the master's door while you are in his house, who would go to open it" "Of course it would be a servant. How could I allow the master himself to open the door" 。 。"This is right, a young girl is sitting on the bed instead. For a landlord to personally open the door, it's simply out of the ordinary." 。It has to be said, He Hongxiu's train of thought is still quite remarkable. 。"Perhaps it's because the young miss is injured. If a servant were hurt, Master would let them rest in bed too, wouldn't he" 。 。"No! If it were you, seeing me, you would instinctively stand up and never sit back on the bed. But from the moment I entered to the moment I left, she remained seated. Even when their landlord came in, she didn't even stir, as if that was her rightful place." 。"Perhaps it was because their master-servant relationship was good, or maybe the young girl was seriously injured, so that's why she acted like that." 。Little Red, however, firmly believed that her intuition was right. 。If Carol were in her own room, then your explanation would make sense, but that's the Wind Lord's room 。He Hongtòu the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. In fact, from the moment she received the medicine, she always felt that something was amiss. That's why she carefully examined the pill at the time, but found nothing out of the ordinary. 。The more I talk, the more I feel something is off about this place. 。"Master, what you say makes sense. Shall I go and investigate" He Hongxiu stopped her. "No need! With so many things happening today, we've finally calmed down. We shouldn't cause any more trouble." 。"Master, with the Pavilion Master present today, in my humble opinion, even if the major sects are dissatisfied, they wouldn't dare to make any more mistakes for a while." 。" He Hongxiu thought about it too, today Qian Tingxuan made a stand in front of all the major sects. At this time, which sect dared to oppose Lei Ting Pavilion if they didn't know their place Perhaps she had overthought it." 。But she didn't know, her second appearance also made Xiao Yuge begin to doubt her. 。The whole night was silent. 。The next morning, after breakfast, everyone went to the hall to say goodbye. He Hongxiu had indeed prepared a generous gift for everyone. 。Perhaps because of the doubts in their hearts, He Hongxiu and Xiao Yuge couldn't help but look at each other a few more times. This time, Xiao Yuge became even more certain of her guess and naturally saw suspicion in He Hongxiu's eyes as well. 。With a thought, she pretended to accidentally brush against Feng Yannie's sleeve when serving tea, causing her veil to fall. She then hastily put it back on, flustered. Though it was quick, it was enough for those present to catch a glimpse of her face. 。He Hongxiu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, seeing just an ordinary face. Naturally, she no longer suspected her of anything. 。When leaving Hongxiu Mountain Villa, Xiao Yuge was still surprised by their speed. Last night, it wasn't exactly a river of blood there, but at least it was a mess. But in just one night, the entire villa had recovered to its previous tranquility. If not for the faint smell of blood lingering in the air, one would hardly believe that such a brutal event had occurred here yesterday. 。On the way back, seeing Xiao Yuge kept her lips tightly pursed and said nothing, Feng Yanniang thought her injury was still hurting: "Madam, is your wound hurting again" "No" 。"Xiao Yu's song swayed her head, falling into deep thought. She had already recognized that He Zhuangzhu was someone she knew, but she still couldn't figure it out. She never expected that the other party would be the master of Hongxiu Mountain Villa." 。"By the way, Fengjie, did you see Thunder Pavilion's master today " It seemed like after that encounter yesterday, no one had seen him. He was truly as elusive as a dragon, appearing and disappearing without a trace! 。Now, whoever mentions him will think of that bloody scene. Who would dare to mention him 。ng wine and food in a side hall. As they ate, everyone suddenly felt their eyelids becoming heavy. Thousand Thoughts, sensing something was amiss, tried to stand up, but fell back down immediately. So...
