Chapter 54: Guan Yue and You He
If she thought it through clearly, Mother... should have known about Father's situation and his abilities. Perhaps... she might have already known that Father was still alive, and even knew where he was. However, there is a question - the seven major families' people never knew that Mother was also a Spirit Speaker, she hid it so well, except for that one time over a decade ago when she left an unforgettable memory, she never used that kind of ability again.
If it wasn't for Xiaofeng telling me next month that such an ability really exists in the world, I'm afraid I would never have known that mom is actually a person with such an ability.
So... where's Dad? Something must have happened in the family on the seventh day of the first month. If I can figure out what happened back then, I'll definitely be able to find out where Dad is now. Now I need to calm down and absolutely cannot alarm Mom just yet. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't let Mom know about what happened at Lan Luo Si First Men's Aristocracy Academy.
I don't know when I walked back to my dormitory, the whole person was tired and fell onto the bed, sleeping soundly... In my mind, there was only the scene of my mother using her spiritual power. Stop... stop... Just these two words, can really command living things to obey her orders... Spiritual Power, what is it?
A huge moon hangs in the dark night sky, a bewitching aura permeates the entire coastal city... A black-haired, black-eyed youth stands at the top of a towering building, standing there faintly, gazing up at the moon in the sky... His entire body emits a faint, indistinct glow... Such an ethereal youth, such an ethereal scene, as if all this doesn't belong to this world.
"Master Kōgetsu... The house where Mr. Wakaba's wife currently resides is just ahead. It's already late today, so let's wait until tomorrow to take action." A black figure slowly emerged from the other end of the building.
That ethereal youth was still gazing at the moon in the sky, and a fluorescent butterfly emerged from his ghostly fingertips: "Before she returns to obstruct us... we must succeed..."
Between the fingers, a beautiful butterfly suddenly shattered into pieces of flashing neon lights floating down from the air. Those flying light spots in the night sky slowly rotated into a row of faint shadows... Guan Yue? You He.
Woke up in the morning, I was lying on the bed with my clothes all messy... Depressed, it seems that I didn't even change my clothes before going to sleep yesterday. Embarrassing...
He slowly struggled to get up and rubbed his hair while opening the window.
What happened yesterday kept replaying in my mind, and I slowly started to organize and tidy up. After about ten or twenty minutes, I finally got dressed, washed up, and my thoughts were clear and accurate.
Today, my investigation task is to investigate the overall member list of the seven major families and the contradictions between various classes, including the causes, processes, and results (if there are no results, I will also investigate). Then, I will summarize and infer what happened before Dad disappeared. Although I want to ask those heirs directly, I think that when Dad disappeared, those guys were still small kids like me, would they know? Hmm... so it's better to investigate and study by myself, who knows, maybe I'll come up with a Newton's law or something, hehehe (Author: ---! : What do I need Newton's law for...)
The scenery outside the window is still so beautiful, so quiet. I exerted myself with both hands and my whole body was suspended in mid-air, directly jumping over the window from upstairs and quickly landing on the ground by grabbing a thick branch of the tree trunk and lightly turning around to step on the ground.
After patting off the dust on my hands, I started doing what I wanted to do. Walking out of the backyard of the student union building, I was stopped by someone before I had gone ten meters away.
With a scowl, I turned to look at the young man sitting on the wall and said in a bad temper: "May I ask what Student Council President Min Ye is doing sitting on the wall so early in the morning?"
"Hehe, of course there's something very important or I wouldn't be sacrificing such precious sleep time to find you."
His long hair was gently blown by the wind, and he sat elegantly on the wall, looking at me with his hands resting on either side of his body. His black shirt perfectly set off his pale skin... This is what a shirt should be, a garment that truly sets off one's complexion... Alas, the sparkle in those beautiful eyes of his made me feel like a noble dog seeing a baozi (a type of Chinese bun) for the first time, as if it was something that even dogs wouldn't bother with.
"What's up?" I raised an eyebrow and gave him a look that said if it wasn't something really important, he was dead meat.
