Chapter 62 Jiangcheng 20 Tea Leaves, Tea Water

After returning home, Wen Li couldn't fall asleep again. She tossed and turned, unable to forget the look in Shen Yingsi's eyes when he looked at the blood-written words, and the image of the dead woman.

Finally, she got out of bed and drank the now-cold tea on the table.

She sat there for a while, and gradually it got light.

As dawn broke, someone finally interrupted her thoughts.

"Host, why are you sitting here? What are you thinking about? You're not even sleeping."

Wen Li swirled the teacup in front of her, her voice cold: "Si Xiaxia, I'm wondering if this book is something you wrote out of thin air! Otherwise, how could this book be as stupid as you?"

Si Xiaxia was a little confused by the scolding. Yesterday, a host in a novel world failed in his mission, and that novel world was later destroyed, leaving a mess for them to clean up.

All systems of the Novel World Administration were recalled and worked overtime all night, with a stern emphasis placed on ensuring that no other novel worlds were destroyed.

She had wanted to rest, but then she remembered that her troublesome host had come anyway.

As a result, I was scolded as soon as I arrived.

"Host, what's wrong with you? Why are you scolding me again?" Si Xiaxia's voice was full of grievance.

"A woman died at the gate of the Zhao residence, alarming the entire Zhao family."

Hearing this, Si Xiaxia felt relieved: "It's just someone dying, what's the big deal?"

"Yes, there's nothing to be surprised about. Few people care about her life; it's worthless. But what about Shen Yingsi?"

Si Xiaxia panicked: "What happened to the main character?"

"The murderous monster wrote the six characters 'Shen Yingsi, Shen Ying Di' on the door."

"It's nothing, isn't it? All the demons in the world want his life," Si Xiaxia said nonchalantly.

Is there nothing wrong? But yesterday, when she stood next to Shen Yingsi, she clearly sensed that his emotions were off.

There must be something she doesn't know, and there must be something this book doesn't know.

"Isn't something wrong? Is there such a thing in the book?"

"In the book, His Highness would have already left for Danli by this time, so there wouldn't be any of these things happening."

Wen Li stared at the tea leaves in the cup, then picked up the cup and shook it from side to side.

"Si Xiaxia, you said this is a fictional world, so is this book the cup of tea, or just the tea leaves in the tea?"

Si Xiaxia remained silent after hearing this.

But whether this book is a cup of tea or just tea leaves inside, Si Xiaxia doesn't need to answer; Wen Li already knows the answer in her heart.

“I will lower Shen Yingsi’s corruption level, but Si Xiaxia, you also need to prepare my clues.”

Si Xiaxia assured her, "Definitely, definitely. I'll give it to you once the protagonist's corruption level drops to 60%."

"Sixty-five percent, you have to give it to me, no discussion."

Si Xiaxia wanted to bargain with Wen Li a little more, but then she saw her host with a gloomy face crushing the teacup in her hand.

"Sure, of course, no problem."

Seeing how serious Wen Li was, Si Xiaxia knew that she didn't need to worry about the "darkening value".

The host is right, she's a piece of trash. She should go back to the Administration Bureau and recharge her energy.

When Wen Li arrived in the hall, she saw Zhao Sicheng sitting at the main table with a worried look on his face.

Aunt Song and the others were also sitting to the side, but Shen Yingsi was nowhere to be seen.

Where is Shen Yingsi?

Xie Xiao replied, "They should still be in the room."

"What's wrong? Is there still no progress?"

Wen Li sat down in the chair opposite Zhao Sicheng and asked, "What was that woman's identity? Did her family come to identify the body?"

Zhao Sicheng glanced at Wen Li and sighed, "She is the mother of Physician Anle at Anle Medical Clinic in Jiangcheng. I sent someone to Anle Medical Clinic this morning, but she wasn't there. They say she went up the mountain to gather herbs."

Anle Medical Clinic? Wen Li recalled the scene when she met Anle that day.

Then the words on the sign in front of the clinic came to mind again: "The most difficult diseases in the world are easily cured by me."

Such a confident doctor, yet his mother is mentally challenged?

Wen Li: "I've been to Anle Medical Clinic. It's quite a distance from the Zhao residence. Why was she killed by a monster in front of the Zhao residence?"

Xie Xiao said, "This morning, Si Cheng and I went to investigate. That An's mother is a fool. She always likes to run around near the Zhao residence or follow some young girls around. The guards at the gate said they had seen her lingering at the Zhao residence gate several times, but she would run away as soon as they got close to her."

Zhao Sicheng added, "She came to Jiangcheng from Yunzhong three years ago with her daughter. However, her daughter is very busy. She goes up the mountain to collect herbs every day and spends half an hour each day treating patients for free. Her medical skills are excellent, and many people in Jiangcheng have been treated by her."

"Free treatment, he seems to be a kind person," Wen Mingzhu remarked.

"Free medical treatment, he must be a wealthy person," Wen Li pondered.

The two spoke at the same time, and then looked at each other after they finished speaking.

Wen Mingzhu thought with disdain: Vulgar!

Wen Li thought to herself: Fool!

"So the problem now is that we can't find any clues about that monster."

Aunt Song came to a conclusion, and Zhao Sicheng nodded helplessly: "Yes."

"We don't know if that demon was originally in Jiangcheng or followed us here. If it's the former, we might as well set off sooner to avoid any mistakes that would waste our time."

As soon as Aunt Song finished speaking, Zhao Sicheng immediately retorted: "It is our duty as demon hunters to exorcise demons. How can we run away before even fighting a demon?"

Wen Mingzhu also said angrily, "You stand by and watch someone die, you don't care about anything when something happens. You're supposed to be a demon hunter, no wonder you can get along with Wen Li."

Even Xie Xiao, who was usually neutral, couldn't help but say, "That demon came for our prince, but there are so many demons in the world that come for our prince. Every time, our prince has turned misfortune into good fortune. What are you afraid of? Our prince will definitely defeat it. Our prince has never lost."

"Aunt Song was just making a suggestion for everyone's safety, so there's no need for everyone to get so agitated," Wen Li reassured her.

After being teased by three younger people in a row, Aunt Song was a little annoyed: "Fine, if anything happens, I won't take responsibility for you. Ali, let's go."

After finishing her sentence, Aunt Song was about to leave, but when she passed by Wen Li, she saw that Wen Li was not moving: "Ah Li, why do you like to meddle in other people's business now?"

Wen Li hesitated and looked at her: "I know this dead woman. She combed my hair. Her affairs are not trivial matters. I care about her life. I will investigate her death."

Looking into Wen Li's determined and stubborn eyes, Aunt Song felt a little dazed. Those eyes usually only held her own affairs, but now they also held other people's affairs.

"It's up to you."

After Aunt Song finished speaking, she turned and left, suddenly feeling somewhat disappointed in herself. Years ago, she had been a righteous and meddlesome young woman.

But now she is old, both physically and mentally.

If Anan saw her like this, he would be very disappointed.
