"Hello, an incident has occurred at No. 43, Dock District, where thugs attacked the Lightbringers..."

"Yes, a gentleman named Zuo Le helped me deal with the assailant. I am unharmed, but the scene is a bit messy. Could you please come and clean it up? Thank you."

He hung up the call calmly.

Tu Qi then looked at Zuo Le and began to explain to him:

"As members of the Lightbringer community, we shouldn't create too much of a social burden for our own reasons. Let the police handle it."

"Is that so? Heh, heh..."

Zuo Le chuckled twice, wanting to take a look at the situation at the alley entrance, but was suddenly covered by Tu Qi's hands.

"Don't look, we're going to have a midnight snack later."

Her movements were gentle, and her voice was gentle too.

But as soon as she said that, Zuo Le instantly understood what she meant: "Is it going to be very bloody...?"

"Fine, I won't watch it then."

"That's more like it. Let's go."

Tu Qi smiled and stepped forward to take Zuo Le's hand.

Zuo Le sensed that Tu Qi was acting strangely today, but since he had already finished his business, he had no reason to refuse.

"Row."

Zuo Le wasn't used to being linked with by her arm. There was no way around it; this woman was just too conspicuous. Even dressed in relatively conservative clothes, she stood out from the crowd.

He didn't ask why, and just silently walked along the dock area with Tuqi, arm in arm with her.

Looking at the diverse crowd.

The dock area is crowded between 8 and 9 a.m.

A large portion of them were people from the northern factory area who went to the dock area for leisure and entertainment after get off work.

There was no hope on their faces.

The leisure time outside of work is probably the happiest time for these workers.

As they passed by, many people's eyes would fall on Tu Qi and Zuo Le.

The two stopped at a small, abandoned wooden dock.

A small food shop opened here, selling things like tofu pudding.

Tuqi ordered two bowls of tofu pudding and two cups of rice wine, then pointed to the abandoned pier:

“Let’s sit there.”

Zuo Le didn't know what she was doing here, but since she had agreed to come along, she went along with her.

Sitting by the sea, Zuo Le followed Tu Qi's gaze and looked across the shore.

Over there, there are the high walls of the factory area.

Large golden characters were written on the wall...

One person gets a job at the factory, the whole family is honored!

Hardworking, capable of tightening screws, let's work together to create a better future!

Two years as a screwdriver, a lifetime of passion for electronics!

Don't pretend to work hard; assembly line production won't play along!

Efficiency is paramount, and responsibility is of utmost importance!

"Ha, that's a really hellish thing to say," Zuo Le couldn't help but laugh.

"Really?" Tuqi pushed a bowl of tofu pudding towards Zuo Le.

"Isn't this treating people like dirt? They're worse than cattle or horses, isn't this hellish enough? I don't know which god said that."

“But I wrote all of these words.” Tu Qi scooped up a spoonful of tofu pudding and ate it with her head down.

"..."

Zuo Le suddenly stopped laughing. After a moment's thought, he seriously refuted his own words:

"However, it depends on the specific circumstances. After all, in the process of human development, certain sacrifices must always be made."

"Zuo Le really knows how to make girls happy!"

Tu Qi lowered her head, stirred the tofu pudding with a spoon, then scooped out a spoonful and held it to Zuo Le's lips.

Zuo Le leaned back stiffly, but Tu Qi unreasonably shoved the spoon into his mouth.

"Well!"

Then came the second bite, and the third bite.

Zuo Le couldn't refuse, so he obediently ate, taking a bite after being fed a bite.

Although Tu Qi was all smiles, Zuo Le could clearly sense that she was unhappy. This was evident from the fact that the bloodstains on her body hadn't been wiped off yet.

After feeding her more than half, Tuqi suddenly put down the spoon.

"Zuo Le, being with you always makes me feel inevitably happy."

"It's not that exaggerated. I'm not a good person either." Zuo Le waved his hand.

"Unfortunately, happy times are always too short, I have to go back now." Tuqi's tone was somewhat regretful.

"Ah."

Hearing that Tuqi was going back, Zuo Le breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, after spending the past few days together, he could point out many of Tuqi's good qualities, such as her help in cultivation and the sense of security she brought.

Gentle companionship, even care.

Even so, Zuo Le still feels a lot of pressure.

Firstly, because the other party's identity is too special, and secondly, because she does indeed have a fiancé.

If word gets out about their affair, even if he didn't do anything, he'll be chopped into mincemeat by the Lu family.

There will absolutely not be a second outcome.

Tu Qi stared at Zuo Le for a while, as if she could read his mind, then reached out and stroked his cheek, gently rubbing Zuo Le's eyebrows and eyes.

"I'm sorry for bothering you these past few days. I know my identity and relationship have caused you a lot of pressure and trouble. I'm sorry..."

"No, it's actually fine."

"So, would you look forward to our next meeting?"

Zuo Le, who had just relaxed, couldn't help but tense up upon hearing this.

"Aren't you looking forward to it?" Tu Qi asked with a smile.

"Looking forward to it," Zuo Le replied somewhat numbly.

The two returned to Mirror Sky Academy in silence.

Because Tuqi still had some belongings left in Zuo Le's dormitory, she hurriedly returned to room 506 of the teaching assistant building under the cover of night.

As soon as she entered the room, Tuqi stretched.

Then, in front of Zuo Le, she began to take off her blood-stained beige dress.

Zuo Le opened her mouth, then lowered her hand that was about to turn on the light.

But Tuqi, having taken off her skirt, suddenly turned around and walked over into the darkness and into Zuo Le's shocked gaze.

"you?"

Zuo Le's response was met with the girl's soft lips, a fleeting touch.

"I'm leaving, boyfriend..."

The girl, whose face always wore gentleness and brightness, now lowered her head to hide a hint of sadness in her eyes.

She put on her nun's robe in the darkness, buttoning it up one button at a time and tying her hair up.

Then he walked past Zuo Le.

Zuo Le did not stop him, nor did he try to stop him; he simply stood silently in the darkness.

……

The Holy Land of Light.

Tuqi returned with a smile and greeted the monks and guards of the sanctuary one by one.

She stopped at the door of Discipline Room 81.

Pushing open the door, I saw that Tu Mi was lying dead.

Only when her older sister arrived did she sit up straight:

"Here you are again, boasting about your victories?"

Seeing her younger sister covered in thorns, Tuqi couldn't help but smile:

"Tu Mi is becoming more and more adorable."

"Satire?"

Tu Qi walked up to Tu Mi and patted her younger sister's head, just like she would when she patted Zuo Le's head:

"Of course, I'm not being sarcastic; it's just that those people don't understand what makes my sister so adorable."

"Look at you, so smug. Did you manage to get what you wanted from Zuo Le?" Tu Mi pretended not to care.

Are you worried about him?

"Tch, I'm used to it." Tu Mi said sullenly, her back to her.

Tuqi's fingers rested on Tumi's neck; from this spot, with just a little force, she could snap her sister's neck.

“Tu Mi, I have applied to the church for some punishments concerning you.”

"Are you going to banish me?" Tu Mi didn't care, since she had nothing to lose anyway.

"More or less," Tu Qi replied casually.

"Tell me what it is."

“I am petitioning the Church to strip you of your status as a Lightbearer and all your powers in the Sanctuary.”

Tu Mi was taken aback!

Leaving the church? Can that be considered punishment?

She turned her head in surprise:

"You'd be that kind?"

The holy radiance emanating from Tuqi dissipated at this moment, and her hair color returned to the same white as Tumi's. She gently hugged her younger sister and kissed her forehead.

Whisper in a voice no one can hear:

"You're my sister, I can't just kill you because you stole someone from me..."

Chapter 81 Do we know each other?

In the dormitory.

After Tu Qi left, Zuo Le just stood at the door, neither turning on the light nor closing the door.

Do only one thing in the dark.

Try to recall.

Recalling Tuqi's scent, and...

That kiss just now.

When their lips touched, Zuo Le felt her breath and heartbeat stop, and even her soul trembled.

He desperately wanted to remember something.
