As sumr approached, the sun blazed fiercely.
Xu Qingzhou sat at his desk, leafing through a book he had found so ti ago, "Strange Tales of the Vast and Righteous World."
Just as he was engrossed, the door creaked open.
Xu Qingzhou glanced up, catching sight of the white-haired little girl standing at the doorway.
He didn't speak or make a sound, simply returning his gaze to the book in his hands.
The white-haired girl, seeing Xu Qingzhou's indifference, furrowed her delicate brows and walked into the room, swaggering to a stop in front of Xu Qingzhou's desk.
She stared at Xu Qingzhou, just stared.
"If you have sothing to say, just say it. You're Wuyou's friend, and I hold nothing back."
Xu Qingzhou's lazy and casual words broke the silence between them.
"Don't you have anything you want to ask ?"
"For example—" Xu Qingzhou never looked up, turning page after page.
The white-haired girl said seriously, "For example, where I co from, what I'm doing here, who I am, and why I'm looking for you?"
"Oh!" Xu Qingzhou showed interest, closing the book in his hand and looking at the child before him with intrigue. "So if I ask you, will you tell ?"
"For Wuyou's sake, you ask, I'll answer." She remained earnest.
Xu Qingzhou put away his smile and asked seriously, "Alright, then let ask you, who are you?"
"I am who I am, I have no na, you can call whatever you like."
"Then why did you co to Frostsky City?" Xu Qingzhou asked again.
"I was entrusted by soone to do sothing."
Xu Qingzhou's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he continued.
"What are you here to do?"
The girl licked her slightly dry lips and solemnly uttered two words.
"Kill you."
Xu Qingzhou's expression remained unchanged, but his heart pounded fiercely a few tis. As expected, the way she looked at him always seed like she wanted to stab him. It seed his guess was correct.
He tried to calm his breathing, curiously looking at the white-haired girl before him, and asked calmly, "So, did Mo Shengge send you?"
An eleven-year-old child, a girl without any cultivation fluctuations, suddenly jumped out to say she wanted to kill him. To be honest, Xu Qingzhou was a bit bewildered.
And the fact that the young girl ca from Linfeng City was such a coincidence, it was hard not to be suspicious.
"That's right!" The white-clothed girl didn't hide anything.
Hearing this, Xu Qingzhou wasn't afraid. Instead, he asked with a playful tone, "Then why haven't you made a move yet? Are you afraid you can't beat ?"
"No?" The white-haired girl shook her head.
"Then why?"
"You haven't finished asking your questions, you ask first."
Hearing this, Xu Qingzhou was taken aback, silent for a mont before speaking.
"Alright, then one last question, why are you looking for ?"
It seed she had been waiting for this question for a long ti, and she answered without hesitation.
"I'm looking for you to ask for your help."
Xu Qingzhou was amused, thinking this child's thought process was truly extraordinary. You want to kill and still ask for my help? What kind of logic is that?
"So, are you asking to let you kill ?"
The white-clothed girl shook her head again, "Killing yourself is too troubleso and too slow, it's faster if I do it."
Her voice was equally calm, yet filled with a sense of arrogance, and the confidence in her eyes made Xu Qingzhou break into a cold sweat.
It was as if she truly believed she could kill him, though he had no idea where this child's confidence ca from.
His gaze instinctively fell on the child's right hand, but he didn't see the black line that had once been on Ning Feng's hand, indicating that this child was not a death warrior.
"So what do you want to help you with? Tell !"
The white-haired girl furrowed her slender brows again.
"You are Mister Forgetting Worries. Wuyou said you can solve all the worries of girls in the world. I didn't know what worry was before, but now I have it, so I want to ask for your help before I kill you."
"You still haven't said anything?" Xu Qingzhou shrugged, responding casually.
"I want to kill you, but if you die, Wuyou will be sad. I don't want her to be sad, so you help make sure that after I kill you, she won't be sad."
The white-clothed girl said it as if it were the most natural thing, yet she was filled with seriousness and sincerity.
Xu Qingzhou was montarily at a loss for words. Kill , afraid Wuyou will be sad, so you ask to solve her worries, not to kill , but to prevent Wuyou from being sad. What kind of strange idea is this?
To co up with such a plan, this child is truly—remarkable.
"Why are you afraid Wuyou will be sad? Didn't you just et?"
This was what Xu Qingzhou was most curious about.
"That's none of your business, just tell if you'll help or not."
Indeed, the friendship between children was sothing Xu Qingzhou, as an adult, couldn't comprehend.
Perhaps to her, a bowl of rice was a favor, not to ntion she had several bowls, shared a bath, and slept together.
Xu Qingzhou admitted that for a mont, he had the urge to kill, but he never acted on it. First, the person before him was just a child, and second, the other party was genuinely sincere, so sincere that he couldn't bring himself to do it.
To co right out and say, I want to kill you, and still ask for help, this—
And when the child said her request was for Wuyou, he couldn't muster the will to kill. He genuinely wanted to see how capable this child was and what she would do next.
So he had a little idea.
"Alright, since you've co to , I can help you."
The white-haired girl obviously didn't expect Xu Qingzhou to agree, and she said mischievously, "Really, then thank you."
"Don't thank just yet. The rules of the Pavilion of Forgetting Worries are that I only help those with fate, one person per day. If you want my help, you can line up at the door tomorrow to draw lots. Whenever you draw it, I'll help you solve this worry. If you don't draw it, then we have no fate, and I won't help you."
The white-clothed girl glanced at the door, recalling the scene from the morning, her expression turning a bit gloomy.
After a while, she looked back at Xu Qingzhou and said, "Alright, it's a deal. Whoever goes back on their word is a puppy."
"Alright, it's a deal." Xu Qingzhou smiled and continued, "But before that, you can't make a move on , and you can't make a move in this Pavilion of Forgetting Worries."
"I won't, as long as Wuyou is here, I won't kill you."
With that, she turned and left, but only went as far as the doorway, sitting on the stone steps where she had t Wuyou the day before.
Xu Qingzhou shook his head helplessly.
"Strange, truly strange. Mo Shengge, sending such a child here, what are you trying to do?"
