The Psychic Girl

Chapter 183 New Residence

After dinner, Gong Yimian, who had not been seen all day, finally appeared in front of Ye Lianxi.

Along with his appearance, he also brought two shocking news.

"What! Xu Yan's left leg can't be saved?!"

"Well... starting from the thigh, it has been completely shattered. There is no possibility of recovering flesh and blood... I heard that the guild is preparing to connect a spirit beast's leg to him. Although it will take some time to get used to it, at least it will not affect his movements in the future."

"How could this happen? Why didn't I notice it at the time..."

Thinking of the tragic scene he saw in Yancheng, a feeling of self-blame and regret instantly surged into Ye Lianxi's heart.

If she had stayed obediently in the place arranged by Hua Qi and not been trapped in the water dungeon of the auction house, or if she could take on this exploration mission with Xu Yan and the others, could Xu Yan's leg have been saved?

...If she could think more carefully and act more calmly, wouldn't everyone be hurt?

The red eyes flashed for a moment, but soon returned to their normal color.

These assumptions crawled into Ye Lianxi's mind like ants, eating away at her rationality and making her feel at a loss as to what to do in the midst of self-doubt.

"It's not your fault!"

Noticing Ye Lianxi's abnormality, Gong Yimian pulled her out of her confusion in time.

"You can only sense the strength of the spirit consciousness, and your leg injury is not life-threatening. Besides, even if you knew, you can't do anything! Who could have expected that an ordinary exploration mission would encounter so many evil spirits?

Even the guild didn't think of it, so why should we ask you to predict it?

Under those circumstances, it was a miracle that everyone survived.

If you hadn't sealed the evil spirit, many of them wouldn't have survived until rescue arrived, and Commander Xuanwu would have died long ago. You've done a great job."

Although he said words of comfort, Gong Yimian also felt a little guilty for not arriving earlier, even though he knew he was right.

"So...how is Xu Yan doing now? Can we go see him?"

"All those injured in this operation are receiving treatment at the guild's headquarters in Unova. The guild provides them with the best medicine. Xu Yan has woken up now, but he seems to be very reluctant about the idea of ​​having his spirit beast limbs transplanted. His mood...is not very good.

Don't even think about visiting. Do you think I haven't thought about it?

What kind of place is the guild headquarters, and can one enter and exit as they please?

If Lingsuyuan finds out that we used Feiqiong to go to Yancheng, it will not only cause trouble for Xiliang, but may also expose your identity as a psychic. It is better to wait for Xu Yan to return to Lingsuyuan and then think about how to help him."

"Do Hongying and the others know about your leg injury?"

"The guild has kept the details of this mission in Yancheng secret for the time being. I just found out about it, so I only told you. It's better not to tell them.

There's nothing we can do. Even if we say anything, it will just make more people worry in vain."

With her head lowered, Ye Lianxi knew that Gong Yimian's analysis was correct, but she always felt that she should do something. She suddenly thought of something and continued to ask.

"That's not right! Since the guild is keeping it secret, where did you get all this information?"

"Remember the guy we met in the confinement room when we came back from Yancheng?"

"Pervert uncle?! When did you two become so familiar with each other? How could he tell you this?"

Ye Lianxi widened her eyes in disbelief.

As if trying to avoid the topic, Gong Yimian brushed it off and talked about something else.

"Uh... it's a long story. By the way, your new residence has been found. If you don't want to live in the utility room, go find the Chief Inspector and he will arrange for you to stay."

……

Ye Lianxi never dreamed that in Lingsu, she would one day live in the same building with the feared Zhuge Wangshu.

Moreover, this building is not an ordinary place, but a disciplinary place in Lingsu Academy used to punish teachers and students who violate the academy rules.

According to Gong Yimian, the Guild has temporarily transferred Chief Inspector Zhuge Wangshu to Lingsu Academy as the new academy supervisor in charge of the Discipline Department, and is responsible for the discipline monitoring of all teachers and students in this academy.

Ye Lianxi originally thought that Gong Yimian was teasing her, until she passed by the doorplate with the word "Discipline" engraved on it on the ground floor of the building.

She believed it.

This building used as a punishment place is not small. It has four floors, and each floor has seven rooms. The first floor is the interrogation room, the second floor is the detention room, and the third floor is the material room. The fourth floor is completely used by Zhuge Wangshu personally.

Zhuge Wangshu had always been a loner and didn't like to interact with other teachers and administrators of Ling Su. Besides...those people didn't want to have any contact with him, so he naturally lived here.

It was precisely because the correctional facility was completely under the control of Zhuge Wangshu that he was able to arrange a new residence for Ye Lianxi here.

Although Zhuge Wangshu's sturdy body blocked her view, Ye Lianxi could still vaguely see various torture instruments in the dark house through the film between the window panes on the first floor when she passed by.

Also, because it was only an outline and couldn't be seen clearly, it made her have endless fantasies and broke out in cold sweats.

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. Ye Lianxi suddenly had the urge to run away, but her legs were short, she was timid, and her kidneys were not in good condition...

Zhuge Wangshu walked up the winding stairs outside the building until he reached a south-facing bedroom on the fourth floor. He finally stopped and looked back at Ye Lianxi behind him with some trepidation.

"I prepared it in a hurry, and I don't know if you like it or not. You can just live here for now. If you find anything uncomfortable, tell me and I'll have someone make changes."

When I opened the door, the first thing that caught my eye was the pink color and the various exquisite rag dolls everywhere. Big and small, colorful, they filled every corner of the room, which was out of tune with the originally solemn and steady interior.

【this……】

Ye Lianxi didn’t know where Zhuge Wangshu’s misunderstanding came from, or maybe all straight men’s aesthetic was that a girl’s room should be pink and filled with dolls?

If she were five years old, she would probably like this kind of decoration!

Unfortunately, if she really counted it, she is now over a hundred years old and really cannot appreciate it. But in her current situation, living under someone else's roof, she is so grateful that she dare not have any complaints.

Besides, there was nothing wrong with this room except that it looked ugly. It was many times better than the storage room where she was originally going to live.

...Well, I'm forced to be naive.

"Like, like, pretty, pretty good."

Her tongue was tied up because she had to speak against her will, and she could hardly speak clearly, but Ye Lianxi nodded reluctantly.

From rescuing her from the forbidden area of ​​Lingsuyuan, but not punishing her for trespassing, to helping cover up every time she got into trouble.

Even through the half mask in front of her and the cold armor on her body, Ye Lianxi could truly feel the tenderness and delicacy with which he treated her.

Although she still doesn't understand why the rumored cold-blooded Zhuge Wangshu treats her so differently.
