Strange talk about the rules: I fast travel with my deskmate

Chapter 401 Desperate Castle (25)

"Qingqing, are you feeling better?" Xu Lingze asked.

Xiong Qingqing sat on the sofa, tried to adjust his breathing, took a deep breath and let it out slowly, and replied: "Fortunately, it's not as serious as before."

"Your situation just now... When did it start to ease?" Xu Lingze asked.

Xiong Qingqing recalled it for a while, and replied: "It should be when Shang Guanglei said that sentence...he believed in me. At that moment, I felt a lot better from the tightness in my chest."

Xu Lingze nodded, and spoke again after a while: "Qingqing, I want to read Jiang Qi's diary."

"Okay, then when the two guys outside leave, I'll go back and get it." After Xiong Qingqing finished speaking, he remembered something again, so he asked, "Don't you want to talk to Leng Zongming? What about others?"

"He went fishing in the lake behind the garden, and he won't be back until later," Xu Lingze said.

"Oh... Speaking of which, I haven't seen the back garden of this ancient castle, is it beautiful?" Xiong Qingqing asked.

Xu Lingze didn't answer her question, but asked instead: "Then why don't you go out and have a look?"

"Didn't the rules say that you can't leave this old castle? I don't know if this old castle... refers to this house, or even the garden." Xiong Qingqing said.

"I've already been there, and it should be fine. Why don't we try it again. Regarding the diary, we'll have time to read it when we come back." Xu Lingze said.

"Okay." Xiong Qingqing readily agreed.

……

When the outside became completely quiet, Xiong Qingqing left Xu Lingze's room first and came to the lobby on the first floor.

Xu Lingze followed closely behind, about 15 meters away from her, neither far nor near.

Immediately afterwards, Xiong Qingqing turned her head and winked at him, signaling that she would leave first.

Xu Lingze smiled and blinked.

Less than [-] steps out of the castle, Xiong Qingqing turned around, intending to take an immersive look at the castle.

Suddenly, her heart seemed to stop beating, and her eyes became much duller.

Seeing this scene, Xu Lingze couldn't care less about avoiding suspicion, and hurried to her side in three steps at a time.

"Qingqing, what's wrong with you?"

With a cold face, Xiong Qing grabbed his hand.

"I'm so cold, help me...I can't breathe, I don't want to die..."

Xu Lingze was shocked instantly, no, this is not Xiong Qingqing!
His brain was running fast, and he asked, "You don't want to die? Didn't you commit suicide?"

"No, I don't want to die...I really don't want to die...I'm not sick, I'm not sick at all!"

Xiong Qingqing cried hoarsely, and the eyes of many servants in the castle were attracted.

"Who killed you?" Xu Lingze asked again.

Xiong Qingqing looked terrified and lowered his head, as if he was recalling something carefully.

Suddenly, she raised her head abruptly, her eye sockets were bloodshot, she let go of his hand, and ran in another direction.

Xu Lingze followed immediately, but even though he tried his best, he still couldn't catch up with Xiong Qingqing.

The garden of the castle was lush with trees, and it didn't take long for Xiong Qingqing to disappear.

Xu Lingze panted heavily, thinking that this domineering president's physical fitness is not very good, thanks to him still insisting on exercising.

He turned on the call key and asked, "Hello? Qingqing, where have you been? What's the matter? Hello?"

There was no response from Xiong Qingqing, only a slight whisper.

It seems that she is still in this garden.

"Brother, why are you here?"

When Leng Zongming's voice came, Xu Lingze looked around and saw Ren Bingying following him, holding a fishing rod and bucket in his hand, it seemed that he had just finished fishing.

"I'll come out for a walk, you guys go back first." Xu Lingze said.

Leng Zongming smiled innocently, patted Ren Bingying's shoulder with his dirty hands, and said, "Go back first, I'll stay with brother later."

"Yes."

Ren Bingying turned around and left the garden. Seeing him walking away, Xu Lingze asked, "Have you seen Jiang Qi?"

"No, what happened to Jiang Qi?" Leng Zongming asked.

Xu Lingze shook his head, "It's nothing."

Leng Zongming smiled, put down his rolled up sleeves, and said, "Brother, Jiang Qi is my fiancée, and your fiancée is Jiang Ao."

Xu Lingze didn't answer, and started to look for it in the garden.

"Brother, what are you looking for? Looking for Jiang Qi? Jiang Qi is my fiancée, and your fiancée is Jiang Ao." After Leng Zongming finished asking, he repeated what he said just now.

"Do you like Jiang Qi very much?" Xu Lingze asked while searching.

"Jiang Qi is smart, much better than Jiang Ao, Jiang Ao is a fool, I don't like it." Leng Zongming replied.

"How do you conclude that Jiang Ao is a fool?" Xu Lingze asked again.

Leng Zongming followed behind him, also looked around, and said, "Because Jiang Ao is a fool, I actually heard the sound of the suona yesterday. Jiang Ao monk Guanglei said that Jiang Qi did all those things yesterday. Do not believe."

"Why don't you believe it?"

Xu Lingze kept asking questions in reverse, trying to take the opportunity to get more words out.

"Because Jiang Ao can't be your partner, the person you choose is Jiang Qi, right?"

Leng Zongming smiled after asking, as if waiting for Xu Lingze's compliment.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Xu Lingze asked again.

Leng Zongming pouted, "You are annoying, my brother would never ask me like that, my brother will answer my questions."

"Okay, then I'll answer your question, but before that, you have to answer my question." Xu Lingze said.

"Okay!" Leng Zongming's reaction was very excited.

"What do you know about this ancient castle? Your brother... why do I want to stay here for a while?" Xu Lingze asked.

"My brother said that this ancient castle is a long time ago. It is a master's work and has a certain collection value. Also... I heard that there is a secret hidden in this ancient castle." Leng Zongming replied.

"What secret?" Xu Lingze asked.

"Don't you know? You must have come to find this secret too!" Leng Zongming said.

Xu Lingze laughed twice, looked up, and suddenly saw a familiar figure hanging upside down from a tree branch.

The trees here were big and tall, so he hadn't noticed anything on them.

During the two seconds he was in a daze, something made of silver metal fell down. Xu Lingze lowered his head, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a space ring!

He looked up again, and the people on the tree had disappeared.

Leng Zongming rubbed his eyes, stepped forward and picked up the ring on the ground, wondering: "What is this?"

Xu Lingze's breathing was stagnant, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forced himself to calm down, and said, "Show me."

Leng Zongming stretched out his hand, Xu Lingze stared blankly at the ring, afraid that Leng Zongming would regret it.

As expected, he took his hand back and said with a smile: "Then it's my turn to ask you, you can't lie to me!"

Xu Lingze nodded, "Okay, I won't lie to you, show me that ring first."
