It was time to turn on the lamp again. Chen Senran stretched out and walked out. The lamp behind the counter at the door was still on. The middle-aged woman lowered her head and looked at her old book. The warm yellow light illuminated the book. The whole picture is rendered peaceful and tranquil.

Chen Senran has seen this scene countless times. In his impression, this lady seems to always sit behind the counter and read a book, no matter what time. It even gave him a feeling that even if the world collapsed, she would never move a step. illusion.

Of course, Chen Senran would not be rude enough to ask the other person why, so he nodded to her as usual and opened the door to go out. Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to stop him. The middle-aged woman held her old-fashioned eyes and smiled very gently. He said to Chen Senran: "You must be curious about why I have been sitting here day and night?"

"A...a little bit." Chen Senran was stunned for a moment, a little unsure of the other party's intentions, "Are you exploring yourself and seeking the truth?" So he could only try to say nice things.

"Many years ago, I thought this could indeed lead to the truth, but later I discovered that swordsmanship is closer to the truth than self-exploration." The middle-aged woman did not deny Chen Senran's beautiful words, but said another statement that sounded extremely vicissitudes of life. "And now, I'm just atonement."

What a woman with a story. Sword... truth... atonement...

"But why are you telling me this?" Chen Senran looked at the woman's kind eyes and suddenly felt that it was a good idea to speak out.

"I don't know. Maybe I haven't talked to anyone for a long time and I feel lonely." The middle-aged woman smiled and said bluntly, "Okay, I won't delay you anymore, there are still people waiting for you to eat."

There is someone waiting for you to eat... Chen Senran felt inexplicably warm when he heard this sentence, nodded and said: "Yes, a little girl."

Little Annie should wait impatiently...

"Then, goodbye, madam." Chen Senran bowed slightly.

"Goodbye." The middle-aged woman nodded, "Maybe you can bring her with you next time. You know, as people get older, they actually don't like to be lonely."

"Yes." Chen Senran smiled and closed the door gently.

The two of them had a tacit understanding that they never asked each other's name, and their relationship was as light as water, which is probably what it meant.

"Actually... it was you who reminded me of when he was young." Chen Senran didn't hear these words, and they just disappeared under the dim light.

——————————

Chen Senran took a deep breath and started to walk back along the white stone path. Even though it had been spring for a long time, the night wind was still a little cool. The unknown white flowers outside the Obsidian Library were blown by the night wind and scattered all over the sky. , like a light snow.

"Mr. Chen Senran?" Someone suddenly called him in the night.

Chen Senran's footsteps paused, and his whole body tensed subconsciously. It cannot be said that he is too sensitive. Although in the War College, with the protection of Ryze and Soraka, no one should be harmful to Chen Senran, but this person can escape Chen Senran's mental power scan, then...

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm." A man in black robes walked out of the grassland with white flower trees. He seemed to be admiring the flowers just now.

Chen Senran didn't think so. This guy who was wrapped in a black robe with only one pair of eyes exposed felt very bad. Although he didn't show any hostility, he felt a chill for no reason.

"Who are you?" Being able to wait for him here and knowing his name, it is obvious that the other party has a lot of information about him, but he has no understanding of the other party. This is a scene that Chen Senran doesn't like very much.

"You can call me Piero." The man in black robe's attitude was very friendly and did not mean anything condescending, but Chen Senran did not relax at all.

Subconsciously taking a step back, Chen Senran said warily: "What do you want from me?"

"Oh, it's nothing, but as you are Master Reese's registered disciple, I should have come to see you a long time ago." The black-robed man who called himself Piero said in an easy-going tone, "How are you, are you used to living here?

If you need help, you can always ask me."

It was related to Ritz...the black robe...people from the council. Chen Senran reacted instantly and thought of the inexplicable words Ritz said when he left...

This is the truth about the world sent by the Parliament to test itself.

"Very good. The Zhanzheng College is indeed the most outstanding place on the mainland. I had a very happy time." Chen Senran couldn't help but relax after inferring the general information. Normally, he would never mind arguing with the other party. Seeing that

Let’s see what tricks the other party plays to test themselves, but now...it’s getting late...

Thinking that the little girl might have sharp teeth and sharp mouth, Chen Senran just wanted to solve this problem quickly, so he said: "Okay, I don't know the truth of the world. Whether you believe it or not, I have to leave."

"Uh..." Chen Senran's words choked Piero, who had prepared a big speech and tried to test him for half the night, almost spit out a mouthful of blood, "What did you say, Mr. Chen Senran?"

So direct...this guy...

"I said I'm going back to eat, can you please leave me alone?" Chen Senran glanced at the moon in the sky and felt that it was getting worse and worse.

"Okay." Piero saw Chen Senran's impatience, "Since you already know my purpose of coming, do you really not know?" Piero felt that his question was extremely stupid, so stupid that he didn't even know it.

I wonder if I have ever really been smart.

"Really." Chen Senran resisted leaving, for fear that this guy who was a little depressed by him would plot against him in anger.

"Okay, I believe you." Piero still didn't react, "Then you know what a continental knot is..." Fortunately, he finally reacted without saying the last word, but he still wanted to slap himself hard.

A slap in the face because he almost revealed the truth himself.

Continental knot... what? Barrier? Result? Marriage? Chen Senran thought for a while with some evil intent, but his face did not show the slightest hint that I had just heard something.

"Then, can I go?"

"Let's go." Piero had a headache. He felt that he needed a good sleep. He had been under the high pressure of Laliwash recently, which made his nerves a little abnormal.

Chen Senran, who had already taken a step forward, suddenly turned his head again. Already made a little nervous by Chen Senran, Piero subconsciously asked: "Why do you actually know?"

"No..." Chen Senran just thought of something, a very important thing, related to whether he would continue to be tortured by the little girl for a long time.

"Didn't you say that if I have any requirements, I can ask you?" Chen Senran said a little embarrassedly, "Can you provide me with a villa built by the lake? I think the one over at Blue Moon Lake is good.

, Oh, by the way, there is a little girl who wants to live with me, so she can't live in the dormitory..."

"Okay..." Piero was stunned again, feeling that his thinking could no longer keep up. What kind of jumping method was this?

From the truth about the world to living with a little girl?

"I want to go home for dinner," Piero said.
