The teacup was empty, but there was still a lingering aroma.
Many memories surfaced in Zuo Yi's mind. Some of the dusty past surfaced in his mind.
He remembered meeting his first love five years ago. She came in a hurry and left in a hurry. She didn't say much to him.
He was inexplicably disappointed and sad. He drank until he blacked out in the hotel. When he woke up, he felt ashamed. Now that he thought about it, there was a different feeling in his heart.
"Sir, would you like a refill?"
The voice of the waiter from the milk tea shop interrupted Zuo Yi's memories. He raised his head in a daze.
The waiter smiled and said, "You can refill your coffee and milk tea for free."
"Oh, no need."
Zuo Yi shook his head and said, "Thank you."
"Okay."
Beep beep!
Just as Zuo Yi was about to get up and leave, his phone suddenly vibrated, indicating that he had received a message.
Zuo Yi opened it and saw that it was from Wu Yongjian, the chief officer of the Jiangnan Supernatural Management Bureau.
After he was promoted to Class A in the Supernatural Management Bureau, a special encryption program was added to his mobile phone. He could only communicate with Wu Yongjian through a single line.
It was said that even the Supernatural Management Bureau itself couldn't intercept and crack the information sent by this program.
Wu Yongjian: "Left Counsellor, did Director Lu look for you?"
Zuo Yi replied, "Yes, we just met. I promised to help take care of his daughter."
Wu Yongjian: "That's great, I was going to discuss this with you."
Zuo Yi asked, "Is his daughter in big trouble?"
Wu Yongjian: "Yes, I can't handle it alone, but the two of us together should be fine."
When Zuo Yi saw the other party's reply, he couldn't help but touch his chin.
Wu Yongjian was a Class A Extraordinaire, a top figure in the inner world, and the chief officer of the Jiangnan Supernatural Management Bureau. Even he couldn't handle Lu Jingyuan's covetousness. This showed how charming this singer was.
Seriously …
What a surprise!
Because of Bao'er, this little fangirl, Zuo Yi was able to see the video of Lu Jingyuan's singing. Her voice was like a siren's, with a special charm. Coupled with her beautiful face, she was indeed able to charm men and women, old and young.
Zuo Yi was certain that the other party was also a supernatural being. Her abilities were manifested in her singing.
Such people were not rare in the world of Sadeya. They were called the Illusionary Singers, and like the bards, they liked to travel in caravans and rely on performing to make a living.
In the World of Sadia, the Illusionary Singers were highly respected. This was because they sang the most beautiful sounds in the world. Their singing could calm the minds of Magi and make hot-blooded knights put down their longswords and bend their ears to listen.
The most powerful singers could use a song to create a fantasy world for their listeners, immersing them in it.
Not even Legends were immune!
Compared to such singers, Lu Jingyuan couldn't even be considered a beginner in this field of supernatural beings.
Wu Yongjian said, "Although Lu Han is my subordinate, he is also my comrade. While he is away, it is my responsibility to protect his daughter. If you encounter any problems, just come to me."
Zuo Yi thought for a moment and replied, "Okay."
Wu Yongjian said, "Thank you!"
These two simple words made Zuo Yi feel a little heavy. Presumably, the chief officer of the Jiangnan Supernatural Management Bureau was in a very bad mood.
Zuo Yi said, "It's my duty."
He chose to join the Supernatural Management Bureau, which was equivalent to standing in the Supernatural Management Bureau's camp, and Lu Han was also his comrade!
If Zuo Yi didn't have the ability and strength, no one could blame him for not doing anything in order to avoid getting into trouble.
Now that he had enough strength, protecting Lu Jingyuan was a piece of cake!
As for the reward …
Zuo Yi wondered if he should ask her for a few concert tickets — what if Wang Jiaojiao didn't buy the tickets?
He laughed, got up, and returned to the martial arts hall.
In the evening, Zuo Yi brought the Bao'er to Shang Yulin's house for a meal.
It was a routine meal.
There was no other way. Liang Xuemei liked the Bao'er too much. She missed him so much that she complained to Shang Yulin and personally called Zuo Yi. Therefore, Zuo Yi could only obediently deliver the "goods" to her house.
When they arrived home, Shang Yulin opened the door and saw Liang Xuemei sitting on the sofa in the living room. She had just put down her phone and was wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes in a panic.
"Mom …"
Shang Yulin asked in surprise, "What happened?"
"Nothing, nothing."
Liang Xuemei waved her hand and smiled at Zuo Yi. "Bao'er, you're here. Give grandma a hug."
"Hello, grandma."
The Bao'er obediently threw himself into her arms, which made Liang Xuemei smile. "Bao'er is so good!"
However, Shang Yulin couldn't pretend that he didn't see the scene just now. He stamped his feet and said, "Mom!"
"It's really nothing."
Liang Xuemei glared at her daughter and said, "I just chatted with your Aunt Zhuang for a while."
She let out a long sigh.
Shang Yulin heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Is Aunt Zhuang alright?"
"She's almost the same as before …"
Liang Xuemei sighed and said, "I don't know how to persuade her. You sit down. I'll go to the kitchen to cook."
Shang Yulin said, "I'll help you."
"No!"
Liang Xuemei glared at her again. "I'm in good health now. You help the Bao'er peel the apple. I can do it myself."
Shang Yulin curled her lips.
Liang Xuemei kissed the Bao'er and ran to the kitchen to cook.
Shang Yulin sat down on the sofa, pulled the Bao'er over to peel the fruit for her, and turned on the TV for her.
Then she sat down and chatted with Zuo Yi.
Zuo Yi asked curiously, "Who is Aunt Zhuang?"
Shang Yulin handed the peeled apple to Zuo Yi and explained, "Aunt Zhuang is my mother's friend."
They had been sisters for many years, and they usually had a good relationship. However, Aunt Zhuang's life was very rough. She divorced her husband a long time ago, and then lived alone with her daughter.
Just last year, her only daughter, Xiao Yun, died in an accident.
"Since then, Aunt Zhuang has had some mental problems …"
Shang Yulin said bitterly, "She believes that Xiao Yun is not dead. She said that Xiao Yun is still at home. She can hear Xiao Yun talking to her, and then her health is getting worse and worse."
"I've visited her several times, but she doesn't want to go to the hospital. She said that she is afraid that she won't be able to see Xiao Yun if she leaves home."
Shang Yulin's mood became gloomy as she spoke.
Liang Xuemei's condition was also very bad in the past six months, which made her worried day and night.
Now Liang Xuemei had recovered, but Aunt Zhuang still couldn't get rid of the nightmare of her daughter's death. She couldn't help but sigh.
"Zuo Yi."
Shang Yulin asked softly, "Do you think ghosts exist in the world?"
She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but every time she went to Aunt Zhuang's house, she always felt that Xiao Yun was still there.
Shang Yulin and Xiao Yun certainly knew each other, but they lived in different circles, so they didn't have a deep friendship.
Ghosts, huh …
Zuo Yi took a bite of the apple thoughtfully. This question was a little complicated.
In the world of Sadeya, ghosts were real things. They weren't human souls, because after all intelligent creatures died, unless their souls were destroyed, they would inevitably return to the endless River Styx.
This was one of the basic laws of the multiverse, and the Blue Star World was no exception.
The so-called ghosts were actually the obsessions of intelligent creatures that remained in the human world after their death. These obsessions were called spirits, and they were mainly divided into two types: vengeful spirits and white spirits.
Most of the spirits didn't have memories of their lives. They existed because of their strong obsessions, and they slowly disappeared with time.
Some spirits retained part of their memories. They didn't know that they had died, and they wandered around familiar places or familiar people, living in a muddle-headed way.
Vengeful spirits and white spirits could affect the minds of living people, and even cause them to hallucinate. If they obtained the power of the law, they would evolve into stronger or more terrifying existences.
The Necromancers of Sadeya were the best at controlling spirits.
Spirits weren't rare to Zuo Yi. He didn't know how many spirits he had seen. The number of Necromancers that died under his sword could fill up the entire Wizard Tower.
But after returning to Bluestar, Zuo Yi hadn't seen any spirits, which were the ghosts that Shang Yulin mentioned.
He suddenly had a little interest in Aunt Zhuang and Xiao Yun.
