The evil ghost almost collapsed. This, this, was this still his master? Why didn't he slap that brat who was courting death?

As expected, the night was beautiful, and his master was abnormal!

Luo Wuyou did not expect that the man would suddenly change the topic. Wasn't he supposed to ask for the antidote? However, why did he seem to not care at all? Was he not afraid of her poison at all, or was he not poisoned at all?

However, since he did not ask, she would naturally not bring it up again. In any case, she was not the one who was poisoned, and he had just flung a palm at her.

"Alright, since that's the case, House Owner, please listen carefully." Luo Wuyou restrained her thoughts, forcefully suppressing the pain in her chest, and said: "My question is: House Owner, may I ask, is your heart black or red?"

"Puchi ~ ~ ~"

Just as Luo Wuyou finished speaking, the 'evil spirit' could not help but burst out laughing. Please, wasn't it supposed to be a guessing game? What kind of question was this? Wasn't this too stupid? What color was her master's heart? Was there even a need to ask? That must be — black!

Was he trying to mock his master? Or was he mocking his master?

That was because, Shangguan Mingyue coldly swept a glance at him. That glance was a thousand times colder than the one he gave him just now, scaring the evil ghost down to the point that it shut its mouth tightly, immediately turning itself into an invisible person.

Shangguan Mingyue turned his head and looked at Luo Wuyou. His eyebrows furrowed under his mask, originally thinking that this young man would solve some kind of ancient mystery. However, he didn't expect that he would actually come up with such a question. It was not that he didn't see the ridicule and ridicule in the young man's eyes.

He should have been angry, but for some reason, his mind recalled the youth's blood-soaked smile. He was so shocked that he lost his mind for a moment. For a moment, he even forgot to be angry.

It had been a long time, so long that even he didn't know how long it had been, but no one had been able to affect his mood at all. But tonight, for some reason, he actually felt a trace of sympathy towards this little youth.

This wasn't like him, and he didn't like this feeling either.

The stone chamber s were very quiet, just like the breathing of two people, and above the jade table, the sounds of hourglass gurgling could be heard.

Shangguan Mingyue did not reply the entire time, but quietly waited, and even did not ask the 'evil spirit' to burn the incense, and only the 'evil spirit' was watching by the side unable to understand, thus, this was actually a very simple question, it was just between the red and black color, and he had to choose between the two, but, why did his master not answer?

It was too strange.

The hourglass was slowly slipping away, but Shangguan Mingyue just stared at the teenager in front of him without blinking. The time it took to make tea couldn't be considered short, but it wasn't long either.

Shangguan Mingyue finally opened his mouth: "Who are you looking for, and what are the characteristics of this person?" Did he just admit defeat?

According to the rules of the Mingyue House, only after admitting defeat would Mingyue House fulfill its promise and fulfill the conditions set by the guests.

But how was this possible? His master actually admitted defeat? His master actually admitted defeat? This was the first time he heard his master admit defeat. Even though Master didn't say the word 'admitting defeat', the 'evil spirit' still felt as if thunder and lightning were rolling on top of his head. His eyeballs could no longer hold back, and he finally fell out from his eye sockets.

Shangguan Mingyue remained expressionless. Although there was a possibility of a trick to the question, but it was an unsolvable question, everyone knew, a person's heart is naturally blood red, but, he had no way to prove the answer.

Unless he was willing to gouge out his heart, place it on a plate, and place it in front of the youth, otherwise, regardless of what his answer was, the youth would be able to say that it was wrong.

The key was not to determine whether the answer was right or wrong, but to prove it!

It was his carelessness that allowed the young man to take advantage of an opening!

Luo Wuyou was also startled, she did not think that this man would actually admit defeat, and did not even try to refute him. Indeed, she had played some tricks, and had ridiculed him, which was why she changed the topic, but based on this man's cold and ruthless character, shouldn't he give him another palm, punch him again, or kill him directly?

But no matter what, since this man had agreed, she would naturally not be polite. In any case, this was the reason she had come to Mingyue House in the first place.

"I need ink and paper." Luo Wuyou turned his head to look at the 'evil spirit', his meaning being, go and help me bring it over, saying that it's hard to explain, but there are a lot of elegant girls like Hong Jin here in the Qin Capital, so it's better to draw them, which is better.

Since she doesn't want to anger Shangguan Mingyue again, she can only go and find the green-faced 'evil spirit'. "

"…"

The 'evil spirit' received Luo Wuyou's gaze, but did not move its head, under the green mask, its eyes rolled one after another. This stinky brat was truly rude, for better or worse, Zhi Jiu was still a lord? He actually wanted him to carry the four treasures of the study to him and do the work of the Attendant?

Would he still need to grind the ink for him when the ink was delivered?

Please, isn't that too much? It was only natural for him to run errands for his master. As a subordinate, he had to do his duty, but this young man? Heh, he wasn't one of her people, so why should he listen to her?

Seeing that the 'evil spirit' didn't give her a response after a long time, Luo Wuyou remained silent, but still turned to look at the Young Master Mingyue in white robes, "Can I borrow House Owner's four treasures book?"

Shangguan Mingyue looked at Luo Wuyou who had a polite face at this time, and after a long while, he finally turned his head and glanced at the 'evil spirit' Zhi Jiu who was unwilling to accept this. Zhi Jiu, who had received his master's command with his eyes, pursed his lips.

However, Zhi Jiu, who was subjected to the master's obscene might, naturally did not dare to say that. With an aggrieved movement, he disappeared among the stone chamber.

The killing intent around Shangguan Mingyue had already been withdrawn, but the eyes were still fixed on Luo Wuyou. Luo Wuyou had her head lowered, and even without looking, she could still feel the gaze of the person staring at him.

It pierced into her body like two needles, as if it wanted to see through her and force her out of existence. She spent most of her life in a high place, and had experienced five years of imprisonment, but Luo Wuyou had seen all sorts of things in the world, tasted all sorts of torture in the human world, and even if she were to meet the current Emperor, she would still be able to remain calm and unperturbed, even if she were to face the current Emperor, who possessed a life and death palm.

However, facing this man, she couldn't ignore that oppressive feeling.

This man was too powerful and too temperamental. The way he conducted himself was entirely based on his own preferences. He was like a Buddha with a single thought, like a devil with a single thought. This sort of person was the most terrifying, the most difficult to deal with, to the point that one was unable to deal with them.

This kind of person was not someone she could afford to offend. After today, she had to hide far away from him!

It would be best if they didn't meet again for the rest of their lives.

had always wanted to avoid Shangguan Mingyue, but he did not know that from the moment they had met today, the relationship between her and him was destined to be a dead knot.

The 'evil ghost' disappeared quickly and returned very quickly. In just a few dozen breaths of time, Zhi Jiu's green face with fangs appeared once again in the midst of the stone chamber. In his hands was the pallet, and inside it was the brush, paper and ink that Luo Wuyou wanted.

Luo Wuyou walked up, grinded the ink, waved her brush, and after a short while, gave Shangguan Mingyue the portrait she had finished: "House Owner, please make sure she is safely recovered, please." The words were very serious.

"Wait, don't think that you are being polite, our only bet is to find one person for you and not two, so, quickly take back that picture of yours. The people from our Mingyue House will not run errands for you for no reason, you …" Without waiting for Shangguan Mingyue to speak, Zhi Jiu once again shouted loudly. Evidently, this bastard was still dissatisfied with Luo Wuyou asking him to help him with the paper and brush.

It even made him forget his own role and make the same mistake again and again. Didn't he see that his master was still here? When had it ever been his turn to speak?

Luo Wuyou's expression was indifferent, but in her heart she had already predicted what would happen to Zhi Jiu.

Sure enough, before Zhi Jiu could even finish speaking, he was hit by a palm that swept out of the stone chamber, and the person who did it was his master, Shangguan Mingyue. In this house, other than him, who else had the ability to do so?

Zhi Jiu had disappeared, and the inside of the stone chamber had finally calmed down. It seemed like this Shangguan Mingyue had gotten annoyed by that man, as he was a man, he really didn't know where he got all this nonsense, even Luo Wuyou felt that he was very noisy now.

"Mingyue House never breaks faith with others, you can leave now." Shangguan Mingyue brushed away Zhi Jiu, then turned and looked at Luo Wuyou, with a calm tone, but Luo Wuyou heard a hint of displeasure in her voice, from this, it could be seen how much this man disliked him, Luo Wuyou was naturally a sensible person as well. Just as she was about to walk away, the man suddenly waved her sleeves again.

With the second palm strike, Luo Wuyou's entire body involuntarily floated, and in the blink of an eye, she was sent out of the door.

Unlike Zhi Jiu's sorry ass on the ground, Luo Wuyou's feet steadily landed.

Luo Wuyou stood still and looked at the red pill that appeared in her palm. For a moment, his expression was one of shock, it was about the size of her pinky finger.

"Really?" "Small Revitalizing Pellet?" As expected, Zhi Jiu who was originally sitting on the ground rubbing his own buttocks while muttering to himself, upon smelling the medicinal fragrance, his eyes went wide, his face filled with excitement, immediately jumped up from the ground, and in the next moment, he shot towards Luo Wuyou, while at the same time reaching out his hand to snatch the pill.

Only, before his fingertip could even touch the medicine, Luo Wuyou withdrew her palm. Then, raising her arm, she directly threw the pill into her own mouth, where it melted in her mouth and entered into her stomach.

"You, you …" Zhi Jiu was stunned for a moment, he did not think that there would be a day he failed, "You dare to stuff anything into your mouth, are you not afraid that it's poison, and will poison you to death?"
