It must be a disguise!
Gui Qian said softly: "Although Senior Brother said 'it is indeed good tea', he looked as if the taste was not that surprising~"
Her voice was sickeningly sweet.
Before Li Qingcha's gender change, he might have been fooled by this, but now he gets goosebumps all over his body.
She remained silent.
Seeing that Li Qingcha hadn't reacted yet, Gui Qian decided to use her trump card.
"In fact, Senior Brother didn't think this tea was special because there was something wrong with the way you drink it. The real way to drink it should be... hehe..."
She took a sip of tea and held it in her mouth.
Then, slowly approach.
Li Qingcha: “…”
She avoided it very calmly.
Gui Qian: !!!
How can this be?
Although she didn't put drugs in the tea, she created an ambiguous atmosphere since she entered the room, and with the help of Yue Zong's skills, her every move was full of hints.
Even the most upright man will fall victim to this combination of punches.
Gui Qian blurted out: "You are not a man?"
puff!
Li Qingcha sprayed on the spot.
In this world, the only person who knew her identity as a woman was Sirou, and she saw it by accident.
I didn't expect Gui Qian to be able to draw the correct conclusion through "reasoning".
Outrageous!
Li Qingcha coughed lightly, and suddenly an idea came to him. He took out the phoenix-patterned jade pendant and placed it on the table.
Gui Qian looked over.
The jade pendant has smooth lines, simple colors, and delicate carving. The phoenix pattern holds a Ruyi Baoxiang flower in its mouth, which is very elegant and noble.
This is something taught by Confucian monks. It can set things straight and keep people from being misled.
Gui Qian looked at Li Qingcha as if he were a monster.
"You...how could you be...which great scholar..."
It's hard to say anything.
"Junior Sister Gui, your tricks won't work on me." Li Qingcha said, "Besides, as an outsider, I can't interfere in the internal election of Yue Sect, so don't count on me."
"..."
Gui Qian was silent.
Li Qingcha could tell that she was selected by the sect, which was not surprising.
What is precious is that a man, in the face of beauty, can be so clear-headed and maintain his original intention.
Gui Qian said with emotion: "Senior Brother is a real man~"
A real man...
Finally hearing this name, Li Qingcha was so moved that he wanted to cry.
Chapter 127 Destroy it, quickly
Once things were talked out, the atmosphere became less awkward.
Gui Qian opened the upper layer of the food box.
Unexpectedly, the so-called "dinner" was just some cakes, rose pine nut candy, tuckahoe soft cake and the like.
Li Qingcha tasted it and couldn't help but praise it highly.
Seeing her enjoying the meal, Gui Qian said, "Fortunately, Senior Brother likes it. They were still discussing it before, worried that you wouldn't be able to get used to it~"
"they?"
"Of course it's those junior sisters. They think that senior brother is handsome, so... hehe... they care about senior brother, but they don't have other intentions like me, but they are just curious."
"..."
Li Qingcha couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about those disciples who were more or less obsessed with flowers.
Gui Qian smiled and put the things away.
"The sect selection will begin in two days. If you are interested, you may come and have a look. Although we are not Lianxue's opponent, it may not be..."
The voice has not fallen,
boom--
There was a sudden loud noise outside.
Li Qingcha stood up and rushed out the door. From afar, he saw a place on the island in the middle of the lake with a huge fire.
But soon, a water dragon rolled up from the lake and smashed straight into the fire. The flames weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the billowing black smoke turned into wisps of light smoke.
Gui Qian murmured to herself:
"That's... um..."
"Brother!" Gong Lianxue's voice rang out outside the courtyard, "There's a fire! There's a fire at Xiang Nanyu's place!"
The girl rushed in and found Gui Qian was also there. She couldn't help but feel suspicious.
But soon, she relaxed her brows because the two of them didn't look like anything had happened.
"Come on, brother, follow me," she said.
"lead the way."
Led by Gong Lianxue, the three of them went straight to the courtyard where Xiang Nanyu lived.
As we got closer, the strange phenomenon became clearer.
I saw several water dragons rising up in the lake, like living creatures with sentient beings, constantly rushing towards the small building with their fangs and claws bared.
"Yes, Master." Gong Lianxue said in a low voice.
Li Qingcha: ...
The second-rank boss is so terrifying.
She took a few quick steps and entered the courtyard.
As soon as we arrived at the place, we could smell a strong burnt smell, like some plant was burning, but it was different from the mugwort that Chu Zhongtian used to capture the demon spy that night.
Chemicals?
This was the first thing Li Qingcha thought of.
"Forget it, let's not jump to conclusions yet." She shook her head.
Then, looking around,
Xiang Nanyu and Gong Yihan were there, as well as some senior figures from the Yue Clan. Their clothes were a little wet, probably because they had just participated in putting out the fire.
Xiang Nanyu, in particular, was still a little disheveled after coming out of the fire scene, with his clothes in disarray. A section of his pink neck could be seen from his collar, which was delicate and white, like a freshly peeled hard-boiled egg.
Li Qingcha shifted his sight.
Xiang Nanyu noticed Li Qingcha's prying and felt a little uneasy. A faint pink color appeared on his neck.
"Senior Brother!" she greeted.
"cough……"
Li Qingcha walked over.
"what happened?"
"I don't know much about it," Xiang Nanyu answered in a low voice, "I have been traveling for days to come to Jinghu Lake. Although I am fine physically, I am a little tired mentally, so I wanted to rest early. I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing after closing my eyes for a while."
It seems that there is nothing to be learned by asking the person involved.
Li Qingcha stared at the scene, considering the possibility of human intervention.
Gong Yihan came over.
"Niece Nanyu, I didn't expect this to happen. I apologize to you here."
The leader of a sect apologized sincerely, and Xiang Nanyu could not say anything.
Outside the courtyard came timid whispers.
"Who knows if it's her own fault?"
"I think it's possible."
"This fire is strange and weird. Maybe it's Ri Zong himself who is acting~"
……
"Humph!"
Xiang Nanyu snorted coldly.
Li Qingcha glanced at the people outside who were talking about it, and couldn't help but complain. As long as the butts are different, conspiracy theories will always have fertile ground to grow in any era.
Gong Yihan was also angry.
"Shut up!"
The stern rebuke silenced those disciples who were gossiping.
Then, she turned to Xiang Nanyu,
"Niece Nanyu, is it necessary to thoroughly investigate this matter?"
This question is a bit tricky.
Isn't it all because of Gong Yihan's words that the sudden incident on Yuezong's territory was not investigated by the investigation team?
Therefore, although it seemed that Xiang Nanyu's opinion was being sought, it was actually exerting pressure.
Li Qingcha secretly admired him.
After all, Gong Yihan is the leader of a sect and has great means.
Xiang Nanyu certainly heard the hidden meaning.
She pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned her gaze to Li Qingcha and asked, "Brother, you are also a guest from outside. If something like this happened to you, do you think it is necessary to investigate it thoroughly?"
Li Qingcha: ...
Women are terrible...
You guys are fighting with each other, don’t involve me. I’m just a handsome guy... ahem... a pretty girl passing by.
"Ahem..." She coughed softly, "I didn't..."
Gong Yihan raised his hand to interrupt.
"Qingcha, you are good at criminal law, please help me check it out."
This statement showed obvious partiality towards Li Qingcha.
At least, compared to Xiang Nanyu, Gong Yihan's love for Li Qingcha is beyond words.
Li Qingcha sighed.
"Master, fire scene investigation is very difficult, because the process of extinguishing a fire is a process of destroying evidence. The only difference is how much is destroyed. Therefore, I cannot guarantee..."
Fire scene investigation has become a professional course in modern times. It is difficult to be completely thorough with just basic science and engineering knowledge combined with reasoning.
Gong Yihan nodded.
"I understand, just do your best."
