Chapter 122: Earrings

Due to his master's capriciousness, Ge Wuchen could only try his best to fulfill his master's request. However, when the master entered the world of mirrors, the person behind the scenes was still hiding in the dark, in order not to have any other accidents, Ge Wuchen used the bone flute left by Hua Li.

It was a palm-sized bone flute, as white and glistening as a human bone, with a red string tied to the end. Ge Wuchen stood in front of the window and played it three times without stopping.

This is a flute made of Hua Li's finger bone, except Hua Li, no one can hear the sound of the bone flute. A few moments later, in the snow and wind, a red-robed man suddenly flew in from the window, Hua Li walked barefoot on the floor, his tone was cold and stern, "What did you call me halfway here for?"

Ge Wuchen said, "You will watch over the master with me."

Hua Li frowned.

Ge Wuchen looked at the human lying on the ground, and led Hua Li towards the bedroom, "In addition to watching over the master, you must also watch over the human that the master has taken a fancy to."

Hua Li suddenly remembered Jiang Luo's hateful look, and his expression changed to one of vague repulsion.

Ge Wuchen Yu Guang glanced over at him, "The first time my master goes in and out of the Mirror World, I will not follow him. But the second time I will go in with my master, and when I do, we'll leave it up to you."

Hua Li stopped in his tracks and looked at him, "You're going too?"

Ge Wuchen smiled, a hidden essence of light flashed from his eyes, he nodded slightly, "I am going to see ...... what the people behind the scenes want to do."

Hua Li wasn't the least bit interested in what Ge Wuchen was trying to do, but he said, "I don't care what you're trying to do, I'll only do my best to ensure my master's safety. As for you and that human? You have Teng Bi come here to protect you."

"Don't waste so much labor," Ge Wuchen said, "I know you can, Hua Li."

Hua Li gave a laugh and held his arms without saying anything.

Ge Wuchen said, "If you do well, I'll take you to the top of the game and definitely won't let anyone call you a retarded schoolboy anymore."

Hua Li's face darkened, "...... deal."

Teng Bi, who was eating a lollipop, suddenly sneezed.

He looked around blankly, and after not seeing anything, continued to look down and seriously mess with the gamepad in his hand.

"Ahhhhh, dead ghost help!" Lu Youyi beside him wailed strangely, "There's a monster sneaking up on me, hurry up!"

Teng Bi nods gravely, maneuvering the on-screen warrior as if on guard, but in contrast to the expression on his face as he's about to zoom in, the on-screen warrior jumps awkwardly twice, leaping onto the sword and poking himself to death.

Teng Bi: "......"

Lu Youyi: "......"

The words "Game Over" flashed on the screen. Lu Youyi threw the handle in despair, "No more games, no more games, no more fun."

Behind the two of them, Ye Xun, who had placed Xiao Fen on the sofa and was carefully combing and braiding Xiao Fen's hair, said faintly, "How many times have you died?"

"398 times," Lu Youyi said feebly, "Is that impressive?"

Ye Xun nodded and scoffed without a hint of mockery, "You guys are good enough to stick around to deliver death so many times."

As they spoke, Wenren Lian and Kuang Zheng walked in with two hands full of shopping bags. The warmth of the room blocked out the cold wind outside, and the two of them took off their gloves and scarf coats and hung them one by one on hangers, smiling, "Did you get in touch with them?"

Ge Zhu put down his cell phone, "Sai Liaoer went back to China, wait for the New Year to come back to celebrate with us. But Jiang Luo's cell phone number can't be dialed."

"Called Zhongqiu?"

"Trying to call," Ge Zhu waved his hand, "She hasn't picked up yet."

Lu Youyi got up from the ground and walked towards Ge Zhu. Teng Bi looked at them and silently put down the gamepad.

A few seconds later, Zhuo Zhongqiu picked up the phone, but before Ge Zhu could speak, she took the lead, "I just came out of Lian's house. Jiang Luo and Lian Xue, they went up to the mountain, it has been snowing for several days on the mountain, there is no signal, it is normal to not be able to contact him."

"No way," Lu Youyi lost it, "It's so hard to get together on vacation and he can't come. I haven't seen him in almost half a month, and today is still Ye Xun's birthday."

Ye Xun sighed and hugged Xiao Fen with some disappointment as well, "It can't be helped."

Ge Zhu asked, "By the way, why did Jiang Luo go to Lian's house, Zhongqiu, do you know the reason?"

Zhuo Zhongqiu was also surprised, "I asked Jiang Luo and Lian Xue once when I brought their luggage here last time, but neither of them told me. Lian Xue's family doesn't usually go out, and they go to the mountains to seek the elders. What could have happened that Lian Xue couldn't even solve it and had to bring Jiang Luo up the mountain?"

She was puzzled, "Forget it, let's get together again when Jiang Luo comes out."

In the early afternoon, a group of people who hadn't been together for most of the month met up in a feverish manner. But the party had not been going on long when there was another knock on the door of their room.

Even though he knew it was impossible, Lu Youyi was still energized, "Is Jiang Luo coming?"

Wenren Lian lost his smile, "How can that be."

Lu Youyi muttered and went to open the door, "...... He is not there, it always feels like there is something missing ah."

But after opening the door, there was an extremely unexpected person standing outside.

Lu Youyi froze, "Funeral store owner?!"

The people in the room got up in a hurry and went to the door, and it was the tightly wrapped and dusty funeral store owner who was being watched by the crowd.

What's a funeral parlor owner doing here in the cold?

Ge Zhu said to himself, "Is it because we're on vacation so no one buys from your store anymore, so you can't eat so you've switched to door-to-door sales?"

Ji Yaozi coughed softly and whispered, "Nothing short of a few dollars from you guys. I came here to give you a heads up."

"Reminder?"

Ji Yaozi raised his eyes slightly from amongst his deep black scarf to look at them and said, "Two things."

"Firstly, Dean Xu has long been dissatisfied with the Qi family and the Chi family for always targeting the students of White Birch University, he has been secretly collecting evidence, and finally sent it to the Xuan Ling Joint Office, the management office of the twelve colleges and universities, a few days ago. The Qi family and Chi family have now been put on trial, and you, as victims, will be confronted with both of them in a court hearing organized by the Joint Office ten days from now. If one of you is missing, this trial will be postponed again, and there is no telling when the next opportunity for a trial will be."

The funeral store owner coughed a few more times, and Winnie Lane snapped out of his shock and said, "Please come in and we'll talk about it."

"No," Ji Yaozi slowly raised his hand, "Second thing."

He unfolded his hand, and within the black cuff, a long crimson earring poured out of his hand. The earring had an anciently shaped triple buckle on top and three tasseled hanging spikes underneath, giving it a bit of exotic flavor.

"Give this to Jiang Luo within three days, or else--"

Ji Yaozi lifted his head and turned to them, "Jiang Luo will then encounter some, dangers that you will not be happy to see."
