"Yes." Ying Zijin nodded. "When did you two agree to meet?"
"Let me see." Rita took out her phone and glanced at the calendar. She frowned. "23rd August. Tsk, that's too troublesome. I have to stay in Hua City for another ten days."
Today was the 7th of August. There were 16 days left before the date she had agreed to meet with the number one poison master.
Rita was also confused. Why did the number one poison master suddenly change the meeting location?
And it happened to be in Hua City.
Originally, they were supposed to meet on this island last night.
But after her competition, the number one poison master changed the meeting location and time.
"Where?"
"Hucheng."
Ying Zijin's expression changed slightly. "Hucheng?"
"You're also confused, right?" Rita spread out her hands. "I thought that a hunter of this level would be in the capital or living in seclusion in the mountains."
The ancient martial arts and ancient medicine world were both in the capital.
But ordinary people couldn't find them. Even if they found them, they couldn't enter.
"But, it's not impossible." Rita added. "I don't know if you know that the previous number seven on the Spear God ranking list died in Hucheng. Even the Hidden Alliance hasn't found out who did it."
The sun was getting brighter. Ying Zijin put on her hat. "I know."
"So, I thought that the number one poison master might have killed him." "You see, only a Poison Master can kill people without leaving any evidence." Rita analyzed seriously. "Only a Poison Master can kill people without leaving any evidence."
Ying Zijin was silent.
She couldn't refute this.
She did kill the number seven on the Spear God ranking list.
But she didn't clean up the scene. There was no evidence. Fu Yunshen must have helped her clean up the scene.
"Anyway, thanks to him, I managed to get one more place on the ranking list after he died." Rita flipped her hair and said flirtatiously, "So I'm 88."
"I can give you the peacebloom." Ying Zijin thought for a while. "But I have a condition."
"Tell me. I'll fulfill it."
"I'll go with you to meet the number one poison master."
"Sure, no problem." Rita agreed immediately. "Let's make a deal. I'll ask her to treat my father."
Ying Zijin's eyes flickered.
"Wait, I have something for you." Rita waved at the middle-aged man not far away. "Myron, give it to me."
The middle-aged man hurried forward, carrying a box.
"This is a gun in my collection." Rita opened the box. "It can be used, but it doesn't have much power because its outer shell is made of gold and diamonds. It's just for the sake of looking good."
"Take it as our reconciliation gift."
Ying Zijin did not refuse. She pointed to the side and said, "These are for you."
Rita picked up a small jar and asked, "What is this?"
"Whitening mask."
She whistled and smiled. "Oriental beauty, if you have time, I'll treat you to pasta at my place."
She waved her hand and boarded another plane.

Five hours later.
The plane arrived at Shanghai once again.
The weather in August was very hot, like a furnace.
"Let's go, little girl. I'll send you home." Fu Yunshen patted her head. "You must be tired these few days. Go home and have a good sleep."
Yunshan was tactful and did not follow them. He made an excuse that he had something to do and left.
The two of them took a car back.
On the way, Ying Zijin saw an old woman selling mung bean soup and sour plum soup by the roadside.
She was sitting on a small stool with two boxes in front of her.
"I'll buy a cup." Ying Zijin turned around. "Do you want to drink it?"
She seemed to have never seen him drink anything other than nourishing tea.
"Okay." Fu Yunshen did not refuse this time. He stopped the car and said, "Buy it at room temperature. Your stomach is more important."
Ying Zijin got out of the car and walked to the stall.
She took two cups of mung bean soup and was about to scan the QR code to pay.
The old woman wiped her hands with a towel and hesitated for a moment. "Little girl, do you have cash?"
Ying Zijin looked up. "Cash?"
Nowadays, most people transferred money online. Very few people carried cash.
"It's not a big deal." The old woman sighed. "Technology is too advanced now. I don't know anything. My son helped me get this QR code."
She wiped the corners of her eyes that were a little red. She was a little embarrassed. "I scanned the QR code and paid for it to him. I want to buy some vegetables today to make soup for my wife. I wanted to ask if you have cash."
Ying Zijin's hand paused. She saw that the profile picture of the other party was a middle-aged man.
It was obviously not the old woman's own WeChat account.
She closed her eyes slightly. She knew what was going on.
Seeing that she was silent, the old woman hurriedly said, "If you don't, it's fine. Just transfer the money."
"Yes, Grandma." She didn't know when Fu Yunshen came over. He took out more than a dozen hundred yuan notes from his wallet and smiled. "Take it."
"It's too much. It's too much." The old woman had never seen so much money. She was shocked and hurriedly pushed it away. "A cup of mung bean soup is four yuan. Eight yuan is enough."
"You can't even buy half a chicken with eight yuan." Fu Yunshen looked up. "How about this? If you think I'm losing money, you can sell the rest to me."
The old woman was a little helpless.
Fu Yunshen had already bent down and picked up the bag to fill it with mung bean soup and sour plum soup. His voice was faint. "Your son didn't give you money?"
The old woman lowered her head and sighed. "He also worked hard. Maybe he forgot. How can parents be calculative with their children?"
Ying Zijin looked at the two of them and raised her hand to press on her chest.
She had always known that her body had a big flaw. She didn't have a heart.
This heart didn't refer to an organ.
It was a heart that could make people have emotional fluctuations in the outside world.
She knew what love and hate were. She also had emotions, but she couldn't feel them.
In terms of feelings, she was like a robot.
But at this moment, she seemed to be able to feel this kind of warmth.
It seemed that she was slowly recovering.
After buying all the mung bean soup and sour plum soup, Fu Yunshen carried the bag and said, "It's enough for you to drink for a long time."
When he saw that the girl had been looking at a place, he bent his finger and knocked on her forehead. He chuckled. "Yaoyao, why are you in a daze?"
"Nothing." Ying Zijin came back to her senses. She looked at him and suddenly raised her hand to hug him. "Thank you."
It was a very normal action. It wasn't very ambiguous.
There was no difference between greeting friends and hugging when they met.
After all, he had carried her on his back and hugged her before.
Fu Yunshen's body slightly tensed up for a moment, but soon relaxed.
He moved his fingers and looked at her with his peach blossom eyes. "Little kid, is this considered flirting?"
"Not really. At most, it's —" Ying Zijin took the mung bean soup from his hand and said in a cold and slow voice, "I'm taking advantage of you."
"…"

Qing Zhi High School had two types of make-up classes.
The first type was a unified class. After the exams, the students would take a month of make-up classes and have a summer break.
The second type was after the unified class, the students could choose whether to attend classes or have a summer break according to their own opinions.
Therefore, after August, there were a lot fewer people coming to school.
However, the students from the Elite Class came every day.
"Yuexuan, what are you thinking about?" The girl who sat next to her waved her hand in front of her eyes. "Why are you so absent-minded these days?"
Ying Yuexuan suddenly stopped thinking and looked down. "Nothing. I haven't seen my brother in a long time."
Although Ying Tianlu didn't hear the conversation between her and Zhong Manhua that day, Ying Yuexuan could feel that Ying Tianlu's attitude towards her had changed.
In the past, before Ying Tianlu left Hu City to start his business, he would send her to school. This time, he didn't.
Ying Yuexuan couldn't figure it out.
Later, she thought that even if Ying Tianlu found out that she wasn't his biological sister, it wasn't a big deal.
After all, Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting already knew and still treated her well.
"Your brother?" The girl didn't ask much. She just said casually, "Maybe he's busy with something. Don't take it to heart."
Ying Yuexuan nodded and continued to write her paper.
The girl continued, "Yuexuan, don't worry. Although your family adopted Ying Zijin and she's very capable, you're the biological one."
"How can an adopted one be compared to a biological one? She can't even be considered as a turtledove taking over a magpie's nest. "
Ying Yuexuan suddenly looked up. For the first time, her gentle voice became serious. "Don't say such things."
The girl was shocked and quickly changed the topic. "Yuexuan, I heard that Mu Chen Zhou is living with your family now. How is it?"
Zhong Zhiwan had brought Mu Chen Zhou to Qing Zhi a few times, and they had seen him before.
He was indeed a son of a rich family in the capital. His every move showed that he was from a prestigious family.
"What do you mean by how is it?" Ying Yuexuan didn't feel anything. "There's a difference between men and women. I haven't had much contact with him, and I don't like him."
The girl was puzzled. "Why?"
Ying Yuexuan finished her paper. "Because he doesn't like me."
"Ying Zijin?" The girl was stunned and understood. "Zhong Zhiwan must have said something to her. Sigh, why didn't I see that she was such a person?"
**
The Wen family.
When Ying Zijin arrived at the neighborhood, Fu Yunshen didn't leave. Instead, he sent her upstairs.
When she reached the door and inserted the key, her expression suddenly changed.
Wen Fengmian heard the sound of the key entering the door. He walked over to open the door. "Yaoyao, you're back."
Ying Zijin raised her head and glanced around the room, which was only 60 square meters in size.
Wen Tinglan was nowhere to be seen.
