Pray for rain

Chapter 20

The sky was dark, the rain was getting heavier, and pedestrians came and went in a hurry.

As soon as Inari returned to the human world from Zhongshan, she sensed a faint trace of immortality.She thought it was a colleague who followed her to the lower realms, but she didn't expect to find out that it was Geng Ze Shenjun after seeing the source of the immortal energy.

Geng Ze held an umbrella and walked slowly on the bluestone road.

The rain wet Inari's clothes. After she found out that it was Geng Ze, she remembered the advice of her master and Xie Wei. She didn't want to follow her anymore, but she saw Geng Ze entering a mortal mansion.

She secretly wondered, could it be that Geng Ze is in a private mansion in the mortal world?But setting up a mansion privately is only a trivial matter, so why did he deliberately restrain his immortal energy so as not to be discovered by others.Inari was full of doubts in his heart, so he restrained his breath and sneaked into the mansion quietly.

Standing behind the rockery, Inari saw Geng Ze tap lightly on the window lattice of a room.And a woman behind the window saw Geng Ze, ran over quickly, opened the door, and threw herself into Geng Ze's arms.

The woman was dressed in Tsing Yi, but she was a mortal.When Inari saw Geng Ze's face that had been frozen by Zhong Shan's ice and snow for too long, a doting smile suddenly appeared.Inari couldn't help but want to ridicule him, originally thought Geng Ze Shenjun had a rock-solid heart, but unexpectedly, less than 20 years later, Geng Ze has already found another beautiful woman.

When the woman raised her head from Geng Ze's arms, she had an innocent smile on her face, but Inari, who saw her face clearly, was struck by lightning.Inari was just joking about Geng Ze's change of heart so quickly, but now he finds out that Geng Ze has never changed his mind.

In her panic, she accidentally revealed a trace of immortality.She quickly raised her head to look at Geng Ze, but found that Geng Ze didn't seem to notice at all, just holding the hand of the woman in Tsing Yi, coaxing her in a low voice.

Inari thought to herself, she must leave here as soon as possible, and she must tell Bixia Yuanjun about this matter, what exactly does Gengze Shenjun want?

It's a pity that before Inari left, he felt a pain in his head and passed out.

Because Emperor Canglin is in a good mood recently, it hasn't snowed much in Zhongshan.Xie Wei made a pot of tea for Pei Xuan, and accompanied him to process the files.

"I took Geng Ze half a month's leave, so I have to work hard for you these days." Pei Zhen sighed.

Xie Wei smiled and said: "Then the emperor will teach me what to do."

Xie Wei sorted out the classification, and Pei Zhen was in charge of reviewing. When Xie Wei also learned to review the files, Pei Zhen's workload in the past few days was much smaller.

A few days later in the early morning, Pei Yu received a message from Bixia Palace, saying that Inari had woken up.When hearing the news, Xie Wei was very happy, took Pei Xuan's hand, and kissed the corner of his lips.Pei Yu was not very satisfied, and before Xie Wei went to Bixia Palace, he pressed Xie Wei on the desk for a good meal of intimacy.

Xie Wei originally thought that the Bixia Palace should be full of joy, but after he left, he found that everyone was still full of sadness.

It turned out that although Inari was awake, she couldn't move or speak.Originally, the Valkyrie who heard the news wanted to ask her what happened to her in the human world, but she didn't ask anything.

Inari lay on the bed like a lifeless puppet.

Xie Wei stepped forward and greeted Bixia Yuanjun and Fairy Yu Zhi.Only Bixia Yuanjun sighed: "You stay here with your senior sister, she loves you the most."

After Bixia Yuanjun and Yu Zhi left together, Xie Wei sat down beside Inohe.When Inari saw him, large swaths of water overflowed from the corners of his eyes.Xie Wei reached for her wrist, but found no reason why Inari could not move or speak.

Xie Wei seemed to have thought of something, his expression froze, and he said, "If Senior Sister can hear me, just blink."

Inari blinked.

"Did senior sister have an accident the day she went to Zhongshan to look for me?"

Inari blinked.

Xie Wei pondered for a moment, then asked: "Then... is it related to Geng Ze Shenjun that Senior Sister has become like this?"

Inari was silent for a long time, then blinked.

Is it really related to Geng Ze?What kind of deep hatred does the senior sister have against him, that he wants to do such a murderous thing?Xie Wei was confused by the sneaky Geng Ze that the senior sister spoke of, and the fairy aura on the woman in Tsing Yi in the mansion in the human world.

He patted Inari's hand and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will definitely find out how you became like this."

Inari blinked desperately, as if telling him not to go.But Inari's grudge against Geng Ze was for him, how could he ignore it?

He left Bixia Palace and returned to Zhongshan.Seeing him, Pei Xuan smiled softly: "How is Fairy Inari?"

Xie Wei said, "I woke up, but I can't move or speak."

"Maybe I still need to rest..."

"Dijun." Xie Wei interrupted him suddenly, "I want to go to the human world."

"why?"

Do you want to tell him that I suspect that Geng Ze Shenjun under your seat injured my senior sister?Xie Wei denied this statement in his heart, he still remembered what Yuan Zhen said, Emperor Cang Lin went down to earth to experience calamity because he made atonement for Geng Ze.

Xie Wei said, "I can't tell Dijun for now."

Pei Yu's face darkened, and said, "I'll go with you."

Xie Wei smiled slightly, but rejected him: "If I don't come back today, please ask the emperor to find me."

Pei Yu still disagreed, but Xie Wei looked at him with those warm and beautiful eyes, and hugged Pei Yu.Pei Yu's heart was so soft that he could only listen to Xie Wei saying: "The emperor listens to me, okay?"

Helpless, Pei Yu held Xie Wei's face, kissed him lightly, and said softly, "If you don't come back tonight, I'll go find you."

Xie Wei covered his hand and kissed Pei Zhen deeply.

The sky in the human world is cloudless today, and the market is buzzing with people.Xie Wei walked through the crowd and came to the mansion where the woman in Tsing Yi lived.He climbed into the courtyard wall, but saw that all the flowers that had bloomed before had withered.He pushed open the door of the inner room, but saw that it was not as beautiful and comfortable as he had seen that day, but was covered with dust, and the wooden chairs had been moth-eaten and looked unsightly.

Xie Wei closed the door and walked out of the yard, thinking about what to do next, but was stopped by an old lady.The old woman stared at Xie Wei with fierce eyes, and asked, "How did you come out of here, you are sneaky, who are you?"

Xie Wei said softly: "Grandma, you misunderstood, I am a friend of the owner of this house. I came to visit him today, only to find that his house is empty."

The old lady didn't listen to his excuse at all, and raised her voice: "This family has moved away decades ago, and you don't even think of a good reason to lie? Come, follow me to see the government master!"

Xie Wei was startled, that day he clearly saw a woman in Tsing Yi living here, but the old woman said that no one had lived here for decades.Could it be that he entered the illusion?But Pei Yu was by his side at the time, so it was impossible for him to be mistaken.

The old woman refused to let her go, and decided that he was a malicious snitch, and insisted on making him go to the government.Xie Wei had no choice but to stop her and take away the memory of her meeting him, and then he got rid of her.

Without the trace of the woman in Tsing Yi, Xie Wei had no clue.He was walking casually in the market, sorting out all the known clues in his mind, but suddenly he smelled a familiar aroma.Xie Wei stopped and found that the aroma came from an incense shop.

Xie Wei walked into that incense shop and saw the boss bowing his head to try the fragrance for a luxuriously dressed girl. The familiar fragrance came from the incense tower that the boss lit.

Xie Wei stepped forward and asked, "This fragrance is really nice, but what kind of fragrance is it?"

The boss took a look at Xie Wei's clothes, but couldn't tell what kind of fabric he was wearing, so he didn't dare to be perfunctory, and said with a smile: "The customers don't know, this is the best tranquilizing incense in our shop, it is worth thousands of gold, only five box, so far only two boxes have been sold.”

I just heard the luxuriously dressed girl say: "Wrap two boxes for me too." The boss wrapped two boxes for the girl overjoyed, and sent the girl away from the incense shop.

Seeing the boss smiling, Xie Wei asked, "Who did the boss sell the other two boxes to?"

The boss smiled and said, "Why do you ask this, the shop has regulations, and the privacy of customers cannot be disclosed."

Xie Wei said, "I'll take the remaining box of incense, and I'll pay three times the price."

The boss was overjoyed and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say."

After Xie Wei handed over the bank note to him, the boss ordered someone to get the box of incense, and said to Xie Wei: "If you ask someone else, I will definitely not remember it. It's just that this fragrance is expensive, so the person who bought it will also have an impression. Those two boxes were bought by a gentleman with extraordinary appearance. His wife liked this box of incense very much, so he bought another box. After a month, this gentleman came again and bought the same box of incense. People saw that he had only used the box of incense for a month, so they advised him that the incense was soothing incense, and he should not use more, but he thought the villain was talkative coldly."

The boss sighed, but Xie Wei asked: "His wife is wearing a green dress, so she can't speak?"

The boss said excitedly: "Yes! That lady can't speak, but that young master loves his wife very much, what a couple..."

Xie Wei interrupted his exclamation and asked, "Do you know where they live?"

The boss replied: "Of course I know. When the son bought the second box of incense, he asked the villain to deliver it to his house."

Xie Wei asked for the address, picked up the box of incense and left the incense shop. The boss graciously escorted him out.Xie Wei left in a hurry, but did not see a meaningful smile on the face of the incense shop owner behind him.

Xie Wei asked several people along the way before arriving at the place mentioned by the shop owner.This house is very remote, the setting sun has already hidden behind the mountain, and there are waves of cooking smoke floating in the house.

Xie Wei sighed, and turned in from the courtyard wall again.I saw that the mansion was extremely quiet, and there was not a single servant.

He saw a faint light coming from one of the rooms, so he approached that room quietly, and before he got to the window, he heard Geng Ze Shenjun's cold voice from inside: "Please come in."

Xie Wei froze, he didn't expect to be discovered so soon, he simply opened the door openly and walked in.Geng Ze inside the room was holding a book, and he was not at all surprised when he saw Xie Wei coming in.

Xie Wei asked, "Did you hurt Inari?"

Geng Ze didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either, he just said: "Fairy Inari always follows me, trying to figure out what I'm doing."

When the candle exploded, Xie Wei's heart trembled.Geng Ze put down the book, and stared at Xie Wei with cold eyes: "Originally, since you have entered Zhongshan, I don't want to argue with you anymore, why do you stare at me like Inari?"

Xie Wei wanted to refute him, but he felt weak all over, and there were other things in the lit candle, causing him to collapse to the ground.

Geng Ze walked up to Xie Wei, knelt down and clasped his chin, and said, "Since you bumped into me yourself, I don't have to be patient with you any longer."
