Lotus Sun was completely taken aback by You Yueqing's straightforwardness, and her flushed face clearly showed her utter astonishment. She had never expected You Yueqing to come directly to her house at night and even ask her such a blunt question.
So … was this a provocation?
Lotus Sun shook her head inwardly, but didn't think so. When You Yueqing had said this, she hadn't sensed the slightest bit of murderous intent. On the contrary, she had felt a sense of déjà vu, as if she had been teased.
Lotus Sun was all too familiar with this feeling. It was just like how Odd Zhuo liked to tease her and call her "Mistress."
Now that the question had been thrown at her, Lotus Sun felt that if she didn't give an answer, it would be too petty of her, and it would seem that she cared a lot.
It was just Wang Ling …
A mere … blockhead …
What was there about him that she cared so much about?
After doing her best to restrain her emotions, Lotus Sun took a deep breath, looked at You Yueqing, and summoned up her courage to reply, "Daoist You is right, you're absolutely right. I like Wang Ling! "
"Sure enough, I've calculated it correctly again! Also, let me tell you a little secret. "
You Yueqing narrowed her eyes and smiled, then grabbed Lotus Sun's hand. "I like him too!"
Lotus Sun: "Eh … eh eh?"
You Yueqing smiled. "What's so strange about that? It's normal for cute boys to be liked by a lot of people. In any case, we haven't officially established a relationship, right? So it can only be considered a fair competition now. "
"…"
Lotus Sun's heart hurt a little when she heard this. She smacked her lips and felt a bitter taste in her mouth, but she couldn't find any reason to refute it.
There was no such thing as first come, first served when liking someone, and no one said that Wang Ling had to be hers …
It could only be said that You Yueqing was a very difficult opponent, and this was the first time Lotus Sun had felt this way.
This Daoist priest was far from being as naive as Jiang Yingying, who would be easily dismissed.
Lotus Sun felt that she was in for a tough fight.
"Did Daoist Priest come to see me tonight just to ask this? If there's anything else, do you want to sit down and talk? "
Contrary to You Yueqing's expectations, Lotus Sun was much more composed than she had expected. Not only did she not have any intention of driving her away, she even took the initiative to let her stay.
Then, Lotus Sun clapped her hands and had the head maid serve tea and snacks. A sweet smell immediately wafted out, and the light purple tea sparkled with starlight, as if the Milky Way was reflected on the surface of the lake at night.
You Yueqing took a sip and smacked her lips. She didn't wait for Lotus Sun's introduction before exclaiming in pleasant surprise, "It's made of top-grade moonlight grass, right?"
Lotus Sun was astonished. She hadn't expected You Yueqing to be so knowledgeable about the tea ceremony, and to be able to identify the type with just one sip.
The spirit tea brewed from top-grade Moonlight Grass had the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the mind. It was extremely suitable for consumption at night, and it also had the ability to improve one's memory. While drinking tea, one would be able to memorize the knowledge in one's mind. This effect could last for several months.
It was exam season soon, and Lotus Sun always prepared more at home.
But moonlight grass was expensive, and because of the harsh conditions under which it grew, there was a limited amount of it that could be farmed.
This top-grade moonlight grass, on the other hand, grew in the natural environment, and there were strict harvesting standards every year, so it was even rarer. One gram of tea grass could be sold for immortal gold.
Leisurely sipping her tea, You Yueqing was in a very good mood. Looking at Lotus Sun's seemingly unruffled face, she found it a little funny.
After a few minutes, You Yueqing got down to business. "It seems that Classmate Lotus Sun still doesn't treat me as a friend. I clearly told you to call me Little Qing, but you still call me Daoist You. "
Lotus Sun: "No, Little Qing, you're thinking too much …"
"You don't have to force yourself to call me that. I understand very well that we're competitors, after all, and there's nothing wrong with being respectful. "
You Yueqing put down the teacup in her hand and said elegantly and naturally, "Then I want to hear what you think of Wang Ling. For example, what can you detect from him when he's in the apartment? "
These words put Lotus Sun on guard.
You Yueqing didn't know Wang Ling's true strength, but she was asking this question … did she already sense something from him?
She was very puzzled.
After a moment of silence, Lotus Sun said, "There's clearly something wrong with that apartment, but Wang Ling says there's nothing wrong with it."
"Yes."
You Yueqing nodded heavily and said, "It's clear that he doesn't want us to take part in the investigation, and he's already found some clues about the apartment. But Wang Ling's strength is the same as ours, so why is he so confident to take part in the investigation alone? "
Lotus Sun's throat involuntarily rolled at this question, and for the first time, she sensed a sharp aura emanating from You Yueqing.
She even suspected that it was very likely that You Yueqing knew something.
Lotus Sun was hesitating about how to tell You Yueqing this.
Unexpectedly, You Yueqing smiled slightly at that moment. "I know what you want to say, Classmate Lotus Sun. Or perhaps you've already sensed it, right? "
"Sensed what?"
"That is, Wang Ling isn't an ordinary person."
After You Yueqing said this, Lotus Sun's eyebrows instantly furrowed slightly.
You Yueqing immediately noticed this subtle change in expression, and after seeing Lotus Sun's expression, she was even more certain of her guess. "Sure enough, you've also sensed it. Wang Ling has always been low-key and has hidden himself very well. But if you get closer to him, sooner or later you'll also notice that there's something unusual about him. "
"I don't know what Daoist You is talking about …" Lotus Sun was stupefied by You Yueqing's words.
"Don't worry, Classmate Lotus Sun. I didn't intend to tell anyone about Wang Ling, and seeing you like this, I'm a lot more at ease. You've probably been helping him hide it all along, right? Even covering for him? "
You Yueqing laughed. "I'm not stupid. The birthday presents Wang Ling gave me all had strange abilities. From this alone, I can tell that he's not an ordinary person. You're probably like me, right? Did you observe the situation from the details? "
"Mm … that's right."
Lotus Sun said awkwardly.
Her emotions were intertwined and extremely complicated.
She had never thought that You Yueqing would actually be able to sense Wang Ling's hidden strength from the details …
And she was completely different from You Yueqing.
At this thought, Lotus Sun's face couldn't help turning slightly red.
Because of Wang Ling's secret.
In some sense, it was Wang Ling himself who had told her …
