Chapter 170: Psycho with an okay face

In the middle of the night, it was raining outside the window.

The winter rain is as cold as ice. Jiang Luo was woken up by the sound of the rain, he lazily stretched out on the bed, his long hair crossing his neck, the youth stretching out his slender and beautiful body.

Jiang Luo's mouth was so dry from this sleep that he rolled over and got up to go to the living room to get a glass of water. The ginseng doll also hung on his body, and said with sleepy eyes, "Dad, I'm also a little dehydrated."

This is the first winter that the ginseng spirit has spent in human society, and it is the first time that he feels the power of heating. The heater was good for everything, but it was a bit drying. Jiang Luo put a cup of water on the table for him, and sat down next to him and drank it slowly.

The water lingered briefly inside his lips before slowly sliding down his throat. The table in the living room had not yet been cleared, the leftovers were steaming cold, and the oil was caked in a lump. The ginseng doll finished the glass of water, recovering a little bit of energy, it poked Jiang Luo's finger with its whiskers and said in an airy tone, "Dad, there's someone outside the door."

Jiang Luo glanced out the door and lazily stood up, "Stay here."

He went to the door, and took the art knife that had been used to open the express on the shoe cabinet into his hand, and looked out through the cat's eye. It was pitch black out there, and he couldn't see anything. But the ginseng doll said there was someone, so there must be someone. Jiang Luo slowly gripped the door handle and pushed open the door.

The hallway lights snapped on.

Outside the door against the wall sat a wet black figure. The ground was wet with water from the man's body, and he had his head buried in his knees, not knowing how long he had been sitting here. It was only after Jiang Luo opened the door several seconds later that he sluggishly raised his head, revealing a familiar face.

Jiang Luo frowned and put away his art knife, "Qi Ye?"

Qi Ye's face is blue and his lips are purple from the cold.

His eyes were lifeless and unfocused as he looked at Jiang Luo for a moment, his lips trembling, "...... Jiang Luo."

With a thick nasal voice, he begged in a low voice, "Will you let me see Chi You?"

*

No one knows how Qi Ye found them or what happened.

Jiang Luo took him into his home and called the others. Everyone was shocked by the state of Qi Ye, whose hair had turned to ice, and who was probably going to freeze to death if he dragged on any longer.

While the others were busy settling Qi Ye, Jiang Luo stood by the door of the guest room, watching, and coldly asked, "Why do you want to see Chi You?"

Qi Ye lowered his head and let others rub his hair, Jiang Luo saw his fingers shaking uncontrollably. Qi Ye was silent for a long time, and silently shook his head.

Jiang Luo arms in his hands, leaning against the door frame. He narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Qi Ye's expression, who looked as if he had been shocked by the collapse of his outlook on life.

He didn't follow up with another question, "Let's talk about it after the trial."

Qi Ye was in a very bad state, which lasted until the beginning of the trial. He didn't say a word or drink a drop of water for the entire day. When Jiang Luo and the others were on their way to the Xuan Ling Joint Office, Qi Ye asked to go with them.

Ge Zhu said intolerantly, "We're in court with your father, and it's best you don't go."

Qi Ye's voice was dry, "Take me with you."

They had to take Qi Ye with them.

After arriving at the Xuan Ling Joint Office, Dean Xu was already waiting for them. After not seeing him for more than a month, the old man was in high spirits and had a rosy face. When he saw that Jiang Luo and the others had arrived on time, one by one, no less, he instantly smiled, "Not bad, not bad, one by one, they are all in high spirits."

President Xu also saw Qi Ye who was in a trance, but he didn't say anything, instead he stroked his beard and smiled, urging Qi Ye to go and sit in the gallery first.

When Qi Ye left, Dean Xu's expression faded, "Is he a lobbyist sent by that old man Qi Yuan?"

Wen Renlian shook his head, "He's here to find Jiang Luo."

Slightly surprised, Dean Xu pondered for a few more moments until someone came to remind them that it was time to go through the process, and only then did he lead the students to the plaintiff's office.

The Joint Office of Metaphysics and Spirituality is a court that specializes in dealing with events in the metaphysical world, and there are some functional and procedural discrepancies with the courts in ordinary society.

The leaders of the Joint Office were seated in high places with serious faces, and Jiang Luo had just stood up when he saw Qi Yuan and Chi Zhongye being led to the defendant's office.

Their eyes were green and black, their clothes were disheveled, they should have not slept for several nights, their image was wretched, and their original overbearing aura had dissipated a lot. And seeing as these two people don't care about each other, they should have already had a conflict.

Both of them also saw Jiang Luo, the dark-haired young man stood straight and tall, he was full of energy because he had rested well yesterday, and his appearance seemed to glow. After being looked at by Qi Yuan and Chi Zhongye, he even provocatively curled his lips at them.

Qi Yuan's anger rubbed off, how dare this junior be so arrogant! He was almost about to lose his temper, when he remembered his current situation and the attitude of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and the Predestined One at the critical moment, a basin of cold water poured down from the head, completely extinguishing his fire.

Sooner or later ......

His eyes broodingly swept over Jiang Luo in the shadows.

Sooner or later, he'll take care of Jiang Luo and Chi You together.

The gallery also sat three or two sparse crowd, because this trial involves a large number of things, so it is not appropriate to public, only a few close relationship can enter the courtroom to listen.

After measuring the posture of Qi and Chi's family heads, Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows with pleasure and glanced at the audience without thinking, and saw a calm, handsome man sitting in the middle of the audience.

The Evil Ghost's long legs were folded, and he lazily watched the field with his head propped up on the armrest. He had changed into a slightly retro black suit, and as if to match the coldness of the season, a black coat was draped over it. The bowler hat was hiding his eyebrows and eyes, only revealing the lower half of his pale face that belonged to the oni. He looked like a gentleman in the Republican era, his hands were wearing brand new white gloves, and he was leaning on a slender cane.

The evil spirit's appearance was simply conspicuous, but everyone acted as if they could not see him. None of the bigwigs in the industry, including the leaders of the Joint Office, President Xu and Qi Yuan Chi Zhongye, realized that there was a calm and relaxed evil spirit sitting in the courtroom.

The evil spirit sensed Jiang Luo's line of sight, he raised his head from under the brim of his hat, a pair of obscure eyes covered by shadows met Jiang Luo's gaze, his originally cold and straightened thin lips suddenly hooked up, revealing a charming but evil smile.

Jiang Luo was like seeing a surprisingly exciting and interesting gift, his heartbeat couldn't help but beat two beats faster, and then quickly returned to normal. He stared at the evil ghost for a few seconds, and his lips wordlessly said, "Nervous."

Chi You, what kind of outfit is this?

Role-playing?

But don't tell me, the look looks a little familiar.

Jiang Luo absently looked at the evil spirit while searching his memory for a reason why it looked familiar. It didn't take him long to remember that he had once seen a black-and-white photo of a middle-aged man in the room of Chi You, a teenager in the Mirror World. The man was around thirty years old and dressed similarly to Chi You's current appearance. According to the time difference between the Republic of China and the present, plus the fact that each generation of the Chi family could only live for thirty years, that man should be Chi You's grandfather.

But why would Chi You come to this trial dressed like his grandfather?

Jiang Luo's heart felt as if a cat's claw had scratched him, making him begin to itch with curiosity from his soul. He couldn't help but be attracted to Chi You's abnormality, trying to figure out the reason for it.

Ye Xun, who was beside him, pulled Jiang Luo strangely and looked towards where Jiang Luo was looking, "Jiang Luo, what are you looking at?"

Jiang Luo said, "You didn't see it?"

Ye Xun asked, "What should I see?"

"Nothing," Jiang Luo retracted his eyes and deliberately said, "Just a psychopath with an okay face, nothing to see."
