This place is fun

Chapter 99 Reasons
"So what should we do now?" Wang Mingzhe asked after swallowing hard. He already regretted standing with Zhou Qinghe.

You know, the reason why he chose to stand on Zhou Qinghe's side just now was, firstly, because he had been Zhou Qinghe's follower for many years, and secondly, because he and the only surviving guard Wang Yang could only escape from danger by relying on Zhou Qinghe.

At least when Zhou Qinghe and others surrounded Su Daoshan and Yue Zhen just now, they did not think that Zhou Qinghe would lose at all.

Wang Mingzhe himself is also of the eighth rank.

Don’t you know what role an eighth-grade warrior plays in front of a true seventh-grade warrior?
But he never dreamed that under such circumstances, Su Daoshan would actually kill one person and take the opportunity to run away.

The Wang family doesn't have as deep a foundation as the Zhou family. In the battle between the aristocratic families in Yishan City, the Wang family stood on the shore without getting their feet wet. Wang Mingzhe couldn't imagine what would happen if Su Daoshan and Yue Zhen returned alive...

"No way!" Liu Song shook his head with a sinister look, "Not to mention that it is difficult for us to find them. Even if we catch up with them, if they attract the mad puppets, it will be easy to lead us into a desperate situation. But there is no need to be afraid. First, they may not be able to get out alive. Second, as long as we leave here first, we can get ahead of them and kill them on the road..."

As he spoke, he silently exchanged a glance with another guard named Fu Chao and comforted Wang Mingzhe, "Besides, we can't just assume whatever they say. Both of our families are aristocratic families. If we refuse to acknowledge them, what can they do to us?"

Wang Mingzhe and his guards looked at each other and nodded, feeling slightly relieved. Although Liu Song was more optimistic, it was true. Not to mention the final quibble, just now, Su Daoshan and Yue Zhen might not be able to escape alive.

And the two of them thought a little further - after all, the people who had just taken action were all from the Zhou family. They didn't do anything. In the end, at most they could say they were coerced. In this case, the clan could understand...

At this moment, Wang Mingzhe suddenly felt a pain in his back. The blade of a knife pierced through his chest.

Wang Mingzhe's eyes were blank, and then he heard the frightened and anxious voice of his own guard: "What are you doing..." This voice was accompanied by one or two sounds of fighting, and it was very short. The next second, the head of his own guard flew over from the side, landed on the ground in front of him, and rolled around.

Wang Mingzhe turned his head and wanted to look behind him, but he didn't turn it around in the end.

The last thing that appeared in the field of vision was Liu Song with a ferocious face and Zhou Qinghe's dull and pale face not far away.

Su Daoshan pulled Yue Zhen and stopped not far away.

Then, he made a gesture to keep quiet, changed direction, and led her to the other side. After circling a small circle, he waited for a while, and saw a cloud of thick dust coming, so he simply continued to circle forward a small circle.

From beginning to end, his eyes never left Zhou Qinghe and others.

But Yue Zhen's eyes never left him.

"What are you looking at?" Su Daoshan glanced at her from the corner of his eye, his eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze was cold, and his cheeks twitched slightly as if he was uncontrollably.

He hadn't figured out how to deal with this daughter of the Yue family. But since he had already torn off his nerdy disguise in front of Zhou Qinghe and the others, it would be a good idea to change his personality to a slightly neurotic one in front of Yue Zhen, so that he could intimidate and turn against her...

Anyway, we don’t know each other well.

It has to be said that in this dark place full of dust and crazy puppets, Su Daoshan's appearance is somewhat terrifying.

For a moment, Yue Zhen was obviously frightened.

But for some reason, Su Daoshan discovered that although the woman's face was pale, her eyes were faintly shining.

Su Daoshan had no time to pay attention to her for the time being, and continued to observe Zhou Qinghe and others. After losing the trace of the two of them, the other party obviously did not dare to chase them in the dust storm, and now they stood there, discussing something with a stern look on their faces.

"You can really see through the dust storm." Yue Zhen's voice came to my ears.

Su Daoshan suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he had been staring at the direction of Zhou Qinghe and the others, and Yue Zhen had seen through him. His face darkened and he turned his head to look fiercely. However, he saw Yue Zhen's face was pale, but her big eyes were looking at him without any hesitation.

"So, you were peeking at me before, right?" Yue Zhen puffed out her chest and asked with sparkling eyes, "Does it look good?"

Su Daoshan's thoughts were brought back to the previous scene, and his eyes wandered for a moment.

Immediately, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and he placed his sword on Yue Zhen's neck, saying coldly: "Shut up! If you continue to make up stories and slander me, I will kill you!"

There was silence for a moment.

In fact, Su Daoshan could see that Yue Zhen was in a strange state at this moment.

Her slightly trembling eyelashes, the bloody color of her lips, the occasional flash of panic in her eyes, her rapid heartbeat and other physical details all showed that she was uneasy, afraid and even a little frightened.

Su Daoshan understood this very well.

Women are naturally afraid of feeling insecure. But here and now, facing endless dust storms, crazy puppets everywhere, an unknown fate, alone, and with an unpredictable man who could easily kill her at any time.

All the unsafe factors are gathered together.

It can be said that the daughter of the Yue family, who had never left the protection of her family, was like a kite with a broken string during a thunderstorm, and was completely helpless.

Her fear may not be directed at anything specific. But this environment and state itself is the source of fear. As long as you are a woman, you cannot escape the influence of this instinct. If it were another woman, she would probably just shut up and be cautious, fearing that something might go wrong and cause an accident.

But this woman's brain circuit is different.

She was both uneasy and persistent. She had just said such words in front of Zhou Qinghe. Now she was still in danger, but she was still talking about these irrelevant issues... Even though he had the sword on her neck, her eyes were still fixed on him.

"I don't believe it." Yue Zhen looked at Su Daoshan, bit her lip, closed her eyes, took a step forward, and said with her chest puffed out, "Go ahead."

After waiting for a while, she saw that Su Daoshan did not make a move. The corners of her mouth curled up, and she opened her eyes. Her increasingly bright eyes reflected his face, moving slightly left and right: "I knew that even if you are not the stupid nerd you used to be, you are not a villain who kills innocent people indiscriminately."

"Psycho, do we know each other well?" Su Daoshan snorted, retracted his sword, thought for a moment and asked, "Why did you choose to follow me just now?"

Although the circle of aristocratic families in Yishan City is relatively small, and although the original body still has some memories of playing house with childhood sweethearts, after growing up, many invisible things slowly accumulated between each other and formed a wall.

The two of them seemed to be in two different worlds, with no common ground or intersection. He really couldn't understand why Yue Zhen chose to go with him.

This is not like choosing a partner at a dance, it is a matter of life and death. Choosing which side to follow is almost like putting your life in the hands of that side.

"I don't know either." Yue Zhen's eyes flashed with a complicated look. She bit her lip and stretched out her left hand to show Su Daoshan, "Feel it. I'm still shaking."

Su Daoshan knew without even looking that she was genuinely shaking.

But looking at the fair and delicate little hand stretched out in front of him, he felt as if he smelled the aroma of Mingqian Longjing tea.

Before, Su Daoshan only thought that this woman was arrogant, spoiled, and straightforward, but now he felt that he was superficial. Women are always complicated and fickle, just like onions. Never think that what you see is the only layer...

"At first, after I was dispersed, I thought I was dead," Yue Zhen withdrew her hand and said slowly, "I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of those crazy puppets. I don't want to be caught by them, have my hands torn off, my legs torn off, or be bitten by them with their teeth..."

As she spoke, she touched her face with her hand in fear.

Su Daoshan felt somewhat regretful, and his thoughts wandered for a moment: "If I hadn't threatened to kill her just now, but threatened to scratch her face, she would probably have been obedient."

"...but I didn't expect you to come when I was in danger," Yue Zhen said, as if she was certain that Su Daoshan would not really attack her. Her tone became more fluent and natural. She asked curiously, "Did I look very embarrassed at that time?"

"I didn't see it." Su Daoshan denied.

Yue Zhen glanced at him with obvious disbelief, and continued, "Then Zhou Qinghe and the others came. I didn't see clearly at the time, and I hid behind you in a hurry. Unexpectedly, the way he looked at me was as if he had caught me cheating on him..."

"You know, many people thought that I was with him..." Yue Zhen said faintly, "In fact, there was a period of time when I also thought that I would marry him. But I found that every time I thought of this result, I couldn't be happy. I especially didn't like his attitude towards me. Originally, we had no relationship at all, but I became his...that thing..."

"Forbidden delicacy." Su Daoshan said.

"Yeah." Yue Zhen nodded, her eyes were like a faint candle flame, falling on the surging dust in front of her, and then gradually gathered from the scattered light, "Later, he asked me to choose who to go with. In fact, at that time I guessed that you were not that simple..."

Su Daoshan frowned and looked at her.

Yue Zhen's lips curled up slightly: "First of all, you were also separated from the others. But you not only survived among the group of crazy puppets, but also helped me kill those two crazy puppets very quickly and with clean and neat techniques. More importantly..."

As she spoke, she looked down at the coat she was wearing and placed her slender fingers on her chest: "Your clothes are clean, too."

Su Daoshan took off his coat to cover her body, because along the way she was either protected by Feng Ting and others, or she easily killed crazy puppets with the help of the exorcism talisman. Therefore, Su Daoshan's coat was not only not damaged, there was not even any blood mud.

In such an environment, this is definitely not the behavior of a nerd who is running around in a miserable state.

Su Daoshan suddenly realized and was a little surprised. He didn't expect Yue Zhen's mind to be so meticulous and logical. This made him feel not like he was facing a daughter of a rich family with limited knowledge, but rather like he was discussing a case with a female classmate when he was studying for a master's degree in law in his previous life.

A strange sense of dislocation.

"Secondly... you were the one who killed Mi Lang and the others, right?" Yue Zhen asked.

Su Daoshan shook his head and denied it: "Nonsense."

"I knew it," Yue Zhen said to herself, "During the county exam, I asked my father what happened during your test. My father told me that your spiritual roots have reached an unfathomable level... Later, my brothers and others analyzed it and said that Master Xie could not have killed the younger brothers of the Mi family. If your spiritual roots really reached an unfathomable level, those people were most likely killed by you."

"Just because of these?" Su Daoshan still found it a little unbelievable.

Even if he admitted that Yue Zhen had guessed something, guesses were just guesses after all, and under the circumstances at the time, Zhou Qinghe was the better choice no matter how you looked at it. Apart from anything else, the four seventh-rank guards alone were enough to tip the scales.

Yue Zhen shook her head, her expression becoming a little strange. It was as if countless emotions were struggling and conflicting. After a long while, she took a deep breath, looked directly into Su Daoshan's eyes and said, "I will only tell you one person..."
