1440 Shuyan, Do You Think There’s Something Wrong With Zhenbai?

After Chi Shuyan finished her breakfast and went upstairs, she saw Brother Feng, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming on the way down. She didn’t see Qi Zhenbai, and couldn’t help but frown.

Feng Yuanlin originally wanted to go to Zhenbai’s room and call him, but when he saw the slight worry on Shuyan’s face, he changed his mind. “Shuyan, we just woke up and are starving. Why don’t you wake Zhenbai up? Didn’t we agree to return to the capital at 10:30am? It’s almost 10am now. Hurry and help get him. It’s not good to travel on an empty stomach!”

Chi Shuyan pretended not to see the meaningful look in Brother Feng’s eyes and nodded. “Okay, I’ll call him!”

After Brother Feng and the others went downstairs, Chi Shuyan walked to Qi Zhenbai’s room and knocked on the door. After a long while, the door finally opened.

Chi Shuyan looked up and saw the man standing at the door with a deep frown. His eyebrows were sharp, his face was filled with hostility, and his gaze was cold. If it were anyone else, their legs would have turned to jelly under that cold gaze. Chi Shuyan calmly met the man’s eyes at that moment. Thinking that he was irritable because he had been woken up, and seeing that he looked fine, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief.

Everyone else had gone to Aunt Miao’s room last night, but Chi Shuyan hadn’t seen Qi Zhenbai at all. It wasn’t that she had felt a bit disappointed last night; given the fluctuations of strong baleful aura in the hotel last night and the appearance of the black-robed man, she was still quite worried that something might have happened to this man. Seeing that he was fine, she inexplicably relaxed and said, “It’s almost 10am. Brother Feng called you downstairs to eat. We’ll be returning to the capital at 10:30am!”

As Chi Shuyan spoke, she suddenly realized that the man in front of her was abnormally pale, even though he seemed in good spirits. She couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Are you unwell?”

When Qi Zhenbai saw who was at the door, the hostility on his face subconsciously softened, but there was still a trace of coldness in his eyes and his temperament was completely different from before.

If he had always looked cold and stoic in the past, yet full of vital energy, he was now inexplicably gloomy and cold. Although the man was smiling at her, Chi Shuyan couldn’t feel the slightest bit of warmth. His dark eyes were like a vortex, bottomless and unfathomable. He looked very difficult to provoke, and exuded fatal danger at all times.

Qi Zhenbai denied it. “I’m fine; I’m just a little tired these days!”

Chi Shuyan actually didn’t buy this excuse, but when she thought about how the other party in fact hadn’t acted out of the ordinary or displayed any other abnormalities, she nodded and didn’t doubt him anymore. “It’s good that you’re fine!” Seeing that the other party was tired and didn’t plan to go downstairs and eat breakfast, Chi Shuyan thought for a moment. In any case, she had nothing to do, so she might as well help bring breakfast up for the man. She said, “Okay, go and rest, but don’t lock the door!”

Qi Zhenbai nodded tiredly and didn’t say much. When the woman in front of him turned around and left, however, he regretted not calling out to her.

Downstairs, Feng Yuanlin, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming sat together with Ruan Shenglin, Yan Zhengming and Yang Kun at a large table and chatted animatedly.

Chi Shuyan glanced at Brother Feng and the others chatting and laughing with each other before she looked away. She picked up a tray and ladled out a large bowl of white porridge from the buffet table on the side. She also took some pickles and steamed buns, and prepared to go back upstairs.

“Hey, Shuyan, who dares make you get breakfast for them?” Feng Yuanlin’s familiar voice rang out.

Chi Shuyan tilted her head and saw Brother Feng walk up to her. Seeing that she didn’t speak, Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but tease her again. “What? Do you feel sorry for your man?”

Chi Shuyan really couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Brother Feng. Feng Yuanlin hurriedly teased, “Shuyan, don’t learn from others. Rolling your eyes is too indecent!”

Chi Shuyan: …

“Is it really breakfast for Zhenbai?” Feng Yuanlin gossiped again.

Chi Shuyan nodded and didn’t deny it. “Mm!”

However, Brother Feng was really thinking too much. If it were someone else who asked her to help, she would do the same. There was really nothing special about getting breakfast for Qi Zhenbai.

Besides, the two of them had known each other for so long. She wouldn’t make a fuss over small personal matters and be unwilling to help.

She didn’t plan to continue talking to Brother Feng about her and Qi Zhenbai, and said to him, “Brother Feng, I’ll go upstairs first!”

Chi Shuyan had just taken a few steps when Feng Yuanlin hurriedly pressed down on her shoulder. Brother Feng said, “Wait, Shuyan, I have something to say to you!”

Chi Shuyan was a bit surprised to see Brother Feng so agitated. She stopped and listened to him. He leaned in close and suddenly asked carefully, “Shuyan, did you feel that there was something wrong with Zhenbai last night? As for today, I haven’t seen him yet. Do you sense anything wrong with him? Is it possible for him to be possessed and controlled by some otherworldly thing?”

In fact, Feng Yuanlin had wanted to ask Shuyan this question last night, but had forgotten it when the black-robed man appeared. He really wanted to know now if Zhenbai was possessed by something. At the thought of his murderous gaze last night, Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but shiver, and his hair stood on end.

Chi Shuyan didn’t expect Brother Feng to ask this question. She was stunned and deliberated for a moment before she asked, “What do you think is wrong with him?”

Feng Yuanlin thought that something was wrong, but he didn’t dare tell Shuyan about last night. He only said, “Shuyan, answer my last question first!”

Although Chi Shuyan felt that Qi Zhenbai’s temperament had changed too much, she really didn’t think that there was anything wrong with him. It was mainly because anyone else could be possessed by a supernatural being, but it was impossible for Qi Zhenbai, who was covered in purple aura, to be possessed. No matter how profound their cultivation was, those supernatural beings couldn’t get close to him. Hearing Brother Feng’s question, she immediately explained on Qi Zhenbai’s behalf and also clarified that supernatural beings couldn’t get close to him, so Brother Feng could be at ease.

Feng Yuanlin naturally trusted Shuyan’s words. Seeing her so confident, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. “It’s good that he’s fine. If he’s fine…” Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly sensed an icy cold gaze on him from above. Feng Yuanlin looked up and saw Zhenbai, who was standing motionless on the second floor, staring at him coldly. His gaze was so sinister that it made people shiver for no reason.

Feng Yuanlin’s heart couldn’t help but tremble. He subconsciously let go of Shuyan and kept his distance from her.

“Brother Feng, what’s wrong?”

“No… no… nothing!” Feng Yuanlin spat out the word with difficulty, then turned around and forced himself to be calm as he ran away. More and more he felt that Zhenbai looked like he was possessed by something. It was too scary!

Chi Shuyan subconsciously followed Brother Feng’s gaze and met the black eyes of the tall man standing motionless on the second floor. She couldn’t make out the expression in those bottomless black eyes at all. The more she looked at him, the more suspicious she became. She saw the man purse his lips and nod at her expressionlessly.
