Chapter 326: Things That Can't Be Unchange-III
Once again Xiao Yun came back to Liu Yan Hui's office. The place was still the same as she remembers but perhaps a little neater than before. The man took his time to pour two cups of tea; one for him and one for Wang Li Lei. Seeing how stingy he was to not give her a drink, Xiao Yun only looked her eyes away from him.
Childish, thought Xiao Yun. She knew that Liu Yan Hui would be able to read her mind and was why she had said the word aloud internally.
"I could tell by her expression that the book didn't work," said Liu Yan Hui sipping to his tea, he crossed his legs.
"It didn't, we can't read anything," replied Wang Li Lei, his finger moves the tea toward Xiao Yun for her to drink.
Seeing the tea being drink by Wang Li Lei was given toward Xiao Yun, Liu Yan Hui smirked, "You spoil her too much."
"For what I've learned from my parents one should spoil their other half," said Wang Li Lei bleakly. "Or did you never hear that before?"
"It's different for each person, don't you think?" hummed Liu Yan Hui. "Since before you were the type of person who would spoil someone you love to death but as for me I find it more amusing to tease the person I love." a certain twist appeared at the end of his words which he whispered. Crinkling humor reappeared at his gaze where Xiao Yun could only feel pity for the woman who took his attention.
"I won't ask questions for the rest. What did you come here today, Ms. Yu?"
"I have brought the things that had an attachment to the person I want to find. Please help me to locate him." with a polite tone, she requested but Liu Yan Hui could hear the noisy voices in Xiao Yun's head calling him as a childish person and a child in an adult's body which made his lips twitch.
"Fine. Give me the things now." and with the help of Wang Li Lei, she brought the bag in front of him, taking out a jacket which was gray in color.
Xiao Yun saw how Liu Yan Hui first took a look at the jacket and muttered, "Are you sure this is going to work?"
"Doubting me aren't you?" humored Liu Yan Hui he then added, "Try to remember how often you fail at something and how it had changed after I have given you protection."
Xiao Yun knitted her brows trying to remember and felt his word was somewhat correct. Usually, she would trip over nothing, and like when she was in the forest with Wang Li Lei half an hour ago she would often fall. There was also the time she thinks she had become lucky. Like the time where Yue bumped the maid who was running with a vase, if she had walked on the right side instead she would have become the one to bump at the maid.
"So most of my misfortune happened because of the ghouls?" she questioned.
"Yes, to them your soul tastes very delicious and they are dying to drag you to death. Usually, people who were hunted by ghouls died in just less than three months. The longest I have seen was a year but he died soon after. I have never seen anyone still alive after being hunted by them. They are very persistent." This made not only Xiao Yun to frown but also Wang Li Lei.
"There's nothing that could stop them from hunting her?" Wang Li Lei asked for his confirmation.
"None. That's why only I could help you but it's temporary," replied Liu Yan Hui. Xiao Yun narrowed her eyes. This would mean she would have to come and meet Liu Yan Hui often for her protection but she was worried whether she could do that for the long term.
Wang Li Lei tapped his finger. Having Xiao Yun hunted by the ghouls could lead something worse which he couldn't stand the thought of and the word temporary doesn't sit well with him. "Could you possibly use the protection you did to Xiao Yun in an object? One which stayed longer than half a year."
"I could give a try," said Liu Yan Hui unable to promise anything.
"Can you search Andy right away?" asked Xiao Yun.
"Of course I will need a map. It's over there," said Liu Yan Hui pointing his hand to her back and she went to fetch the map which was placed very heard to her back. They rolled the map open to the table, pushing off all the things that were covering the place and Wang Li Lei narrowed his eyes at the world map.
"How accurate you could search for him?" Wang Li Lei questioned Liu Yan Hui who had placed the candles on the corner of the maps.
"A hundred percent."
"A hundred percent is good but this is the world map." Xiao Yun stared as if he couldn't see the map well. What they need was the precision of the place and she doubts he would be able to find with such a large map which only held names of the country and its capital.
Liu Yan Hui sighed, "I would have to search which country first before the specific place. Unless you know which country he is now?"
"No." replied Xiao Yun.
"Thought so." she heard him whispered and scrunched her nose at him. She looked at his hand which was holding scissors cutting a part of Andy's jacket to a small patch, he then whispered something which was barely audible to her ears. Xiao Yun felt a wind passed out of nowhere behind her neck and shivered. Though they hadn't moved, she could feel how the temperature of the room had changed once he had performed the action.
The candle flickered and when he had finished whispering, Liu Yan Hui placed the corner of the patch to the candle for the fire to catch the fabric. The fire grew bigger and in a second the flame devoured the patch as Liu Yan Hui released the fabric from his fingers.
