"When did the last group of tourists leave?" Dong Xue continued to ask.
The lady boss replied, "They just left yesterday."
Pausing for a moment, in order to dispel the other party's doubts, she added, "Young lady, don't worry. They just left yesterday, and I cleaned every room. I definitely won't make it uncomfortable for you."
Dong Xue nodded thoughtfully, guessing that the extraordinary energy might have been left behind by the last group of tourists. Of course, she couldn't rule out the possibility that there was something wrong with the farmhouse or even the lady boss in front of her.
In order to escort Liu Haoming's journey this time, the entire Transcendent was mobilized. Dong Xue knew that the Grand Secretary Of State would never do something without thinking. The reason why he mobilized such a large force must be because he had received some news and was preparing for a hidden danger.
But what kind of hidden danger was worthy of the Transcendent's full mobilization?
Dong Xue couldn't figure it out, so she quietly slowed down her pace and waited for Liu Haoming and Ling Wei to catch up.
It was worth mentioning that Dong Xue hadn't detected any abnormalities from Liu Haoming until now. She felt that he was just like Li Zhengkang, with no fluctuations of spiritual power. He was clearly just an ordinary person. If she had to point out something special, it would be his pet fox.
This made Dong Xue's doubts grow. She was very curious about the secret behind Liu Haoming.
…
…
Under the lead of Huang Xing and the lady boss, everyone passed through the small courtyard and came to the farmhouse. Huang Xing let the tourists choose their own rooms.
Liu Haoming and his group naturally chose four rooms that were next to each other. Just as the Lady Boss had said, every room was clean and tidy by her.
After putting down their luggage, it was already late. Everyone went downstairs to eat.
The lady boss had already prepared the food. The food was very sumptuous. There was chicken, duck, fish, and fish. Everyone gathered in the hall on the first floor. Considering that most of the tourists were in groups, the lady boss prepared many tables and let everyone take their own food. It was almost like a cafeteria.
"There are mahjong tables, KTV, badminton courts, and so on in the basement. Everyone can go down and play after eating, but don't play too late. We still have to go to many attractions tomorrow morning," Huang Xing said to everyone.
Li Zhengkang's eyes lit up when he heard that. He suggested, "Let's go play mahjong later. There are four of us at the same table."
"Sure."
Dong Xue nodded in agreement. She wanted to protect Liu Haoming, so she naturally wouldn't refuse the opportunity to be in close contact with him.
"I'm fine with it too!"
Ling Wei also agreed enthusiastically. Her goal was the same as Dong Xue's.
Liu Haoming hesitated for a moment. According to his usual routine, he actually wanted to lie in bed and watch some dramas. But on second thought, it was rare for him to go on a trip. It would be unreasonable if he didn't contact his old classmates.
Thus, he nodded.
"Don't come over!"
At this moment, a girl's hysterical scream came from the courtyard.
"If you force me again, I'll jump down and die in front of you!"
The scream came out of nowhere and instantly broke the warm atmosphere of dinner in the hall. Everyone looked at each other in shock.
The Lady Boss was the first to react. She seemed to have thought of something and her expression suddenly changed. She rushed into the courtyard like an arrow.
"Xiao Qing, don't do anything stupid. Come down quickly!"
The Lady Boss looked up and pleaded in fear.
"What happened?"
Li Zhengkang was puzzled and couldn't help but put down his bowl and chopsticks.
A few curious tourists had already followed the Lady Boss into the courtyard. Huang Xing was among them. They were pointing up and talking.
"Mom and Dad are doing this for your own good. Don't be stupid!"
This was a man's voice, coming from the roof.
"You're not doing this for my own good. You're harming me!
"In short, if you force me again, I'll die in front of you!"
The girl's scream became more and more frantic and shrill, as if she had lost control.
Everyone in the hall couldn't sit still after hearing this. They didn't have time to eat and all ran to the courtyard to watch the show. Liu Haoming and Li Zhengkang were no exception.
As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, Liu Haoming saw a young girl in pajamas standing on the edge of the farmhouse's rooftop. A middle-aged man and an old man dressed as a Taoist priest were standing in front of the girl, cautiously trying to dissuade her.
"Xiao Qing, take it that Dad is begging you. Just be good and let Taoist Yu perform a ritual for you. After he's done, that person won't pester you anymore. Do you know how sad it is for Mom and Dad to see you like this?" On the rooftop, the middle-aged man pleaded earnestly.
The Lady Boss was wiping her tears in the courtyard. Her eyes were filled with sorrow and bitterness. She was a completely different person from the woman who was welcoming the tourists warmly just now.
"What's wrong with me being like this?!"
The girl who was about to jump off the building retorted sharply. "With Brother Xun, I'm living a happy life every day!
"You haven't seen Brother Xun, so you don't know how handsome, gentle, and considerate he is. He's my true love and also my Mr. Right. If I don't see him in the future, I'd rather die!
"Xiao Qing, you're still young. How would you know what love is …"
The Lady Boss was sobbing so hard that she almost burst into tears.
"Shut up!"
The girl was furious. She turned around and scolded her. "Of course I know what love is. Brother Xun and I are true love. We're a match made in heaven …"
Halfway through her words, she suddenly stopped abruptly.
The girl stared blankly at the young man in white standing behind her mother. She was completely stunned. There was a buzzing sound in her head. It was as if a curse had been broken, but it was also as if a new curse had been planted.
What a handsome and dashing young man he was!
The girl was mesmerized. The young man's facial features seemed to be made of the essence of heaven and earth. Especially that pair of eyes, they were even deeper than the starry sky. It made people unable to look away after just one glance, and they couldn't help but sink deep into it.
In front of this exceptional young man, her so-called handsome, gentle, and considerate Brother Xun was instantly inferior to even dung in comparison.
…
…
The girl was looking at him, and Liu Haoming was also looking at the girl.
He saw that the girl was pretty. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her skin was as pale as gold paper, devoid of blood.
Through the conversation between the Lady Boss and the girl just now, he could roughly guess the ins and outs of the matter. It should be that the girl fell in love with someone, and the Lady Boss and her husband tried their best to dissuade her. The girl refused to comply, so she threatened to commit suicide by jumping off the building.
"What an insensible little girl."
Liu Haoming sighed inwardly. He felt that the girl shouldn't be like this. Parents' intentions were definitely for the good of their children. No matter what happened, their children shouldn't threaten them with suicide. How much would that hurt their parents' hearts?
…
…
"Okay, your father and I promise you. We won't stop you."
The Lady Boss had no choice but to compromise. "We'll let you be with Brother Xun. Come down quickly."
The girl gazed at Liu Haoming affectionately.
"Who is Brother Xun? Why should I be with him? "
