The Real Miss is a Genius Taoist Master

"I'm back." Tang Xi dragged the suitcase in.

"Oh, Xiao Xi is back. My soup has just been simmered. Would you like to drink orange juice?" Aunt Zhang floated over with a smile.

"Sister Xi." Yueyue didn't know where she came from, and hugged her leg. The little girl is obviously much more lively than when she first came.

The empty house seemed to come alive all at once.

"Yeah, it's better at home." Tang Xi put the suitcase in the corner, reported a lot of dishes that he wanted to eat at night, touched Yueyue's head, then opened the door to the room and threw the coat on the bed. A floor-to-ceiling glass door that opens the terrace.

"Back?" On the other side of the terrace, Chu Li was still in his old position. On the rattan coffee table was a powered-on laptop with a folder on his knees, but he opened the awning above his head.

Of course, at two o'clock in the afternoon in October, the awning can't block the sun on the top floor. You can't see the second person so sick from the terrace. That is, on the terrace of their home, Tang Xi successively carved amulet arrays in various places to maintain the most suitable temperature. After all, air-conditioning cannot be used in an open place like a terrace. It would be a waste if such a good place can only be used for two seasons a year.

"Why, I didn't go to the crime team." Tang Xi raised an eyebrow.

"Of course." Chu Li's expression remained unchanged, without a trace of guilty conscience.

"Yes, you are an undercover expert, so don't use this set to deal with me." Tang Xi rolled his eyes and sat down opposite him, "Forget it, anyway, I just need to see you sitting here now. , The injury doesn’t get worse."

"Is Southern Xinjiang fun?" Chu Li skipped the topic directly.

"Not bad." Tang Xi shrugged.

After the ghost market, Ouyang Sheng is responsible for the aftermath work. Follow-up matters will be jointly investigated by PEI and the police stations in Nanjiang, Jiangnan, and Qingjiang. She is not very interested in those matters, so she will simply let go to ensure that all the suspects are arrested. Anyway, if you want to know the result, just come back and read the dossier in a few days.

Of course, with such a big case, if Chu Lizhen stayed at home for the entire vacation, hehe, ghosts didn't believe it.

In the last few days in Nanjiang City, Pei Qing signed the contract and worked well as a tour guide, climbing, camping, fishing, and driving back with people on the mountain trail in the middle of the night.

Tang Xi felt that it was a good time to have fun.

"Boom."

Aunt Zhang knocked on the glass twice and walked in, handed a glass of cold orange juice to Tang Xi, and put down a small package, "Mr. Chu, is the express delivery that I just delivered, is it important?"

"Thank you." Chu Li took the package, took out the key and stroked the tape.

"Then I'm going to buy groceries." Aunt Zhang floated out again, and soon heard footsteps, obviously wearing a doll.

"What is it?" Tang Xi leaned forward curiously.

"For you." Chu Li opened the box, took out a stack of paper and threw it in front of her.

Tang Xi picked up one and opened it, unconsciously: "Invitation?"

"I asked Xiao Su to help with the design. You can fill in and send it out after looking at the sky." Chu Li said.

"No, why should I send the invitation?" Tang Xi was confused, and turned over the invitation again. It was pale purple and looked elegant and concise. The front was...birthday?

"Mature ceremony." Chu Li looked at her seriously.

"Ah? Oh." Tang Xi suddenly collapsed.

"Only once in a lifetime, forbearance." Chu Li turned over another page of the document and said leisurely, "You are not a simple student. You can't ignore the relationship between people. You can't ignore such an important day of coming-of-age ceremony. A few days ago Tan Ju also specially reminded me, don't forget to invite him."

Tang Xi helped her forehead.

Unknowingly, it's been more than a year since I came to this world, and I'm not the same person at this time last year...If that counts, there are still a lot of people who need to be invited.

"The Nanjiang case involved too much, and all kinds of forensic investigations require time. You don't need to worry about it for the time being." Chu Li said again, "In addition to invitations these days, you have time to practice at the shooting range in the basement of the Municipal Bureau. I can’t move the gun recently, I'll check it in a while."

"I see." Tang Xi was suddenly excited.

"I don't ask you to hit a hundred shots, but at least you can't miss the target when you hit a humanoid target, otherwise you won't agree to have a gun license." Chu Li exhorted.

"I see." Tang Xi didn't care much.

She had practiced flying knives, and if she changed to a gun, although there would be a difference, the accuracy of her practice would definitely be much faster than Xiao Bai.

After the National Day holiday, the university continues to attend classes. Little things like the absence of a criminal police captain in the neighboring city can't affect the lives of ordinary people at all.

Tang Xi sent out invitations one after another. Among her former friends, Qi Sihui could not come when she went to the capital, but there were a few more classmates whom she met in the university who could talk about. This year, she has accepted the commission and has a good relationship. The client, the Fang Tianyun brothers and sisters, all the members of the serious crime team, including the police officers who have worked with before, such as Yan Shifei, should not favor one another.

By the way, in mid-October, Gu Ran arrived in Jiangnan City.

It is said that he finally agreed to transfer from Nanjiang City, so he came to Wang Ling in Jiangnan City as a matter of course. After all, the big case just completed is just one part of another big case. It is conceivable that Jiangnan will be in the future. The city is bound to be treacherous and urgently needs manpower.

When Tang Xi heard that Gu Ran had a one-month vacation, she let Fang Tianyun bring him an invitation, which was a friendship that had been fighting together.

Chu Li has always been vigorous and resolute, and the location of his birthday banquet was naturally chosen in the hotel under Pei's name, and Pei Qingzhi also took over the work of setting up the venue.

Tang Xi looked at the dress spread out on the sofa in the living room with an unbelievable expression.

"Why, don't you like it?" Chu Li stood behind her. He also changed into a silver-gray suit, rarely well-dressed.

"I said... What kind of clothes did you choose for me?" Tang Xi glared at him.

"Who makes you too lazy to choose, but this dress is not my business, it was given to you by Xiao Su, and said it suits you." Chu Li looked confident.

Is it possible that he will pick clothes for girls? Of course Su Wanyi chose it!

"..." Tang Xi wanted to cry without tears.

Well, the skirt is very beautiful, pure white, with layers of lace, looks like a little princess in a fairy tale world, but does she seem to be suitable for this kind of fantasy style?

"Hurry up and change your clothes, you are very busy today." Chu Li urged.

"Oh..." Tang Xi almost looked dead and entered the room holding her skirt.

However, I have to say that Chu Li...no, in fact, Su Wanyi’s vision is really good. The skirt is really suitable for Tang Xi, with a pair of white Lolita-style small leather shoes. If Su Wanyi and Fang Tianyun are here, 80% want to hug and shout cute. It's just that Tang Xi is accustomed to the casual T-shirt and jeans, and she always pulls the skirt uncomfortably in this way.

"Gone." Chu Li said.

"I know." Tang Xi sighed and turned around, "I'll be back soon!"

After all, there are still a group of ghosts in the house, and a small banquet can be held at home at night.

Before going to the hotel, because Chu Li was inconvenient to drive, it was Su Wanyi who came to pick people up.

The up-and-coming female forensic doctor grabbed Tang Xi and threw it into the beauty shop. It took two hours to tie her hair up and put on a light makeup, which looked more in line with her clothes.

When it arrived, it was almost a stepping point.

Because half of the guests are police officers, the public and prosecutors are watching them, that is, simply eating a meal, gift money, etc., are not allowed, and people who are acquainted with them are also very low-key to give small gifts.

"Why is it so late?" Pei Qingzhi walked over.

"Traffic jam." Su Wanyi replied.

"Obviously you took the wrong way." Chu Li complained.

"You didn't remind me!" Su Wanyi glared at him.

Chu Li shrugged and turned his head.

"Okay, okay, let's go in." Pei Qing laughed.

It was obvious that the girls in the entire city bureau were afraid of Chu Li to death. For example, Xiao Xue always hoped that she had invisible skills in front of Chu Li, and only Su Wanyi would not care about each other.

Although only ten tables were opened, Pei Qingzhi still vacated the best banquet hall, especially the super-large cake that was pushed out with a cart, which was magnificent.

"You have no female elders, so I arranged most of these. And Ayun also helped a lot." Su Wanyi smiled.

"I like it very much, thank you Sister Wanyi." Tang Xi said seriously.

The people in this hall are her bonds in this world, especially the people around her. No one is obliged to do anything for her. Behind the willingness is the contribution of both parties.

"Xiao Tang, speaking of it, I should thank you." Tan Ju looked at her with a smile.

"The psychological test report of the Chu team?" Tang Xi had a sense of it.

"It's okay." Tan Ju nodded affirmatively.

"That's great, don't you need to follow up again?" Tang Xi also curled her lips.

"What the kid is doing so much?" Chu Li couldn't help but push her back to the seat.

"I'm an adult today!" Tang Xi protested.

"That would have to end today." Chu Li Liangliang said, and then said, "Close your eyes and bow your head."

"Oh." Tang Xi froze for a while and did so.

It is better to listen to the guardian today.

When I closed my eyes, the noise and laughter around him seemed a little farther away, a little hazy. Suddenly, the top of his head sank slightly, as if something had been placed.

"A grown-up gift, happy birthday." Chu Liqing's faint voice rang in his ears.

Tang Xi just opened his eyes, and the white light flashed, it was the brightness of the flash.

"Very good-looking." Pei Qingzhi turned the phone calmly and showed her the screen.

Although it is a snapshot, the lens feel is very good. In the picture, Chu Li bends down slightly and puts one hand on her shoulder, with a rare gentle smile on her face. Tang Xi's expression was innocent and cute in confusion, and the girl wore an exquisite crown with amethyst inlaid with amethyst between her curled hair, shining brightly in the light.

Tang Xi raised his hand and touched the crown. Before he could react, Fang Tianyun and Su Wanyi squeezed Chu Li away and hugged her one by one, "We also want to take a photo with the princess today!"

Pei Qing chuckled and took on the role of photographer patiently.

Later, Xia Shuang took Jiang Xiaoli and ran over, as well as the girls from Jiangnan University.

"You have never finished." Tang Xi looked helpless.

"In that case, give you a family portrait for the crime team." Tan Ju also laughed and joined the fun.

"Okay!" Su Wanyi immediately agreed.

After all the trouble was over, Tang Xi only felt that she was just a prop doll, and she was totally unlovable.

"Who's Xixi is this~~~ so cute today!" Xia Shuang was in a great mood playing with the photos captured on her phone.

Tang Xi glanced at Su Wanyi sadly and got a grimace. But think about it again, isn't this fairy-tale skirt matching the crown on the head? Really not frank person.

The crown is different from other jewellery, it represents the heart of the elders to the younger generation: you are my eternal little princess.

"Come on, blow the candles and cut the cake." Pei Qingzhi gave her a silver knife.

The lights in the hall were all turned off, only the flickering candlelight on the cake.

"I really thank her for not letting me lose an admiring junior." Outside the crowd, Tan Ju patted Chu Li on the shoulder with emotion, "Helping you with the guardianship procedures is a decision I have never regretted."

Chu Li just let out an "um", frowning at Tang Xi who was surrounded by him. That Pei Qingzhi... is it too close!

"Don't be so serious." Tan Ju couldn't help laughing. "She has just grown up, and she is still very early to marry her daughter."

"Eighteen years old is also a child." Chu Li said.

"Before, Wang Ling told me that he hoped Xiao Tang would enter PEI." Tan Ju suddenly said.

"Why?" Chu Li was unhappy, "They don't have enough manpower? Didn't they just transferred another one?"

"Wang Ling means he wants to train heirs. You also know that PEI is different from other departments." Tan Ju whispered, "The person above Wang Ling is getting older and will have to retire after a few years. It’s not that there are really no powerful people in the art world. It’s just that most of those who have the ability are arrogant and can help, but are unwilling to become a formal member of the government establishment. But Tang Xi is different. She is young and has unlimited potential. Most importantly, she Being able to be a consultant to the crime team means that she is not disgusted with being the director of the PEI."

"She won't go." Chu Li shook his head.

"Wang Ling hopes that you can persuade her. If you can't, you can only retreat and let Gu Ran go." Tan Ju said, "But it's better for Tang Xi to go and train Gu Ran to become her deputy."

"I will tell, but I won't persuade, this is her life." Chu Li thought about it, "Moreover, I think she is fully capable of making the decision for her own life."

"You figure it out." Tan Ju smiled bitterly.

"Pa~" The lights in the hall were instantly lit up.

"What are you doing so far, aren't you half the protagonist today?" Pei Qingzhi walked over here.

"Come on." Chu Li said calmly.

After halfway through the banquet, it was a group of young people, most of whom were not in their original seats, and the atmosphere was more lively and free.

"Xixi." Xia Shuang pulled Tang Xi's skirt quietly.

"I'll go to the bathroom." Tang Xi nodded, got up and went to the rest room at the back.

Soon, the two girls flashed in and closed the door quickly.

One is Xia Shuang, and the other is Jiang Xiaoli.

"What's wrong? God is mysterious." Tang Xi smiled.

"It's Xiaoli who said something is going on." Xia Shuang shrugged.

Tang Xi looked at it suspiciously.

"That..." Jiang Xiaoli held the hem of the skirt cautiously, and gritted his teeth after a while, "I know it may be presumptuous, but I really don't know who else to call. I know that you are paid for entrusting. I can pay the commission, I..."

"Have you met a ghost?" Tang Xi looked up and down at her puzzled.

It's clean, without a hint of yin, it's good.

"No, no, it's not me." Jiang Xiaoli shook his head quickly, "It's my grandpa, but grandpa is an extreme materialist. He has never believed in ghosts and gods. I'm so worried about what he can do if something happens."

"Your grandfather...Professor Jiang?" Tang Xi said, "Speaking of which I haven't taken Professor Jiang's class so long since school has started."

"Well, grandpa is just an honorary professor in the history department. He has a project recently and is not in school." Jiang Xiaoli said.

"That-"

"Xiao Xi? Where are you?" Su Wanyi's shout came from outside.

"In this way, I won't have class tomorrow morning, and neither should you. Come to my house and talk." Tang Xi said.

"Okay!" Jiang Xiaoli's eyes lit up and he was obviously relieved.

Tang Xi exchanged WeChat ID with her, and sent her address easily.

"Thank you!" Jiang Xiaoli was grateful.

The three of them left the lounge together and returned to the hall. What they saw was a flurry of demons.

Only the two tables next to it are normal. After all, some freshman students still cannot drink alcohol, and there is another Chu Li who has injuries and cannot be filled with alcohol. However, the most surprising thing is Pei Qingzhi. Look at the empty wine bottle, and then look at it. His face was only reddened, which made people suspect that what he drank was not grape juice.

"They still have trouble, you have to go to class tomorrow." Su Wanyi said with the car key in his hand.

"I will ask the driver to pick it up." Pei Qing said.

A group of students also said that they live in school dormitories and can take a taxi.

The last ones Su Wanyi would send home were Chu Li and Tang Xi.

"I said I can drive." Chu Li was helpless.

"Don't make trouble, that knife almost didn't pierce you right through. It took only two months for you to be all right?" Su Wanyi glared at him.

Chu Li wanted to say that it was really good 80/90%, but the speed of recovery, which completely violates science, is really hard to convince people.

Su Wanyi sent them downstairs, stepped on the accelerator, turned around and left.

"I'm going to take the driver's license test tomorrow!" Tang Xi said.

"You can drive, right?" Chu Li asked while pressing the elevator.

"Yes." Tang Xi nodded.

"You went to a theory test, and then I arranged for you to take the test directly from the police force." Chu Li said.

"So good?" Tang Xi looked at him suspiciously.

"You freak, don't squeeze social resources. Do you know how many people are lining up to learn to drive?" Chu Li glanced at her.

Tang Xi:...

The moment the door was opened, the sound of a salute burst out of the room, and ribbons and confetti fell one after another.

"Xiao Xi, happy birthday~" Su Huang rushed over and hugged her.

"Thank you." Tang Xi looked over one by one.

Su Huang, Shaoyao, Xie Changan, Aunt Zhang, Yueyue's mother and daughter, Xie Yan, and even Yu Mingfan, who had been in school, also returned.

The corners of the raised lips slowly dropped again, and the brilliance in his eyes dimmed.

On such an important day in life, one of the most familiar figures is missing.

But soon, she put on a smile again.

Yun Qi didn't leave either, but just recuperated for a few months, and soon he would be the same as before.

Because it was already a midnight snack, Aunt Zhang made a table of light snacks and fruit plates, which were especially appetizing for those returning from the banquet.

In the midst of the noise, Chu Li suddenly said: "After a while, I will move out."

"Huh?" Tang Xi was stunned, subconsciously, "Where to move?"

"I bought a house and will move when the renovation is finished." Chu Li replied.

"But...it's good, why do you want to move?" Tang Xi still didn't understand, even a little wronged.

"You are an adult, don't you need a guardian anymore?" Chu Li said.

Tang Xi remembered the reason he had said when he was holding Chu Li as a guardian, and bit his lip, feeling a little dull for no reason. So do you think I just need a guardian?

"Don't you ask where the house I bought is?" Chu Li had a smile in his eyes.

"Where?" Tang Xi asked casually.

Chu Li didn't speak, pointing down.

Tang Xi reacted after a daze, blurting out, "Downstairs?"

"Right." Chu Li nodded.

"..." Tang Xi was silent for a while, and said out of anger, "Upstairs and downstairs, is it meaningful for you to move?"

"I can't live with you all the time." Chu Li looked at her seriously, "When you grow up, you will fall in love and get married. Besides, I used to live in the police dormitory. It is just because it is close to work and convenient for me. There is no need for a person to buy a house, but it's not that he can't afford it."

Tang Xi was dumb.

It's not that I don't know, Chu Li is right, but I have been used to this kind of life for a long time. I am used to having someone in the family, so I don't want to change.

"It's just downstairs." Chu Li touched her head. "At this moment, it looks like a child who can't do without his parents."

Tang Xi snorted coldly, and decided to ask Pei Qingzhi tomorrow, if the left and right can be connected, can the upper and the lower be connected to a leap?

"I don't want to move right away. I need ventilation after the renovation. It will be next year." Chu Li said again.

"What? I'm only eighteen. I think you think I'm preventing you from dating." Tang Xi gave him a blank look.

Chu Li was taken aback, and then smiled: "A person like me, don't harm other girls. It's not a man who can take the responsibility of marriage for a month to keep someone else vacant for 25 days."

"Who said that? You..."

Chu Li stretched out a finger to press her lips to stop the words behind her. His eyebrows were rare and gentle: "Adults, children, don't care."

"..." Tang Xi slapped his hand away angrily.

"Okay, rest early." After Chu Li finished speaking, he got up and went back to the room.

"What... I really thought I was a few years younger than you." Tang Xi muttered dissatisfiedly.

At midnight, the ghosts also returned to the bracelets and notebooks.

Tang Xi yawned looking at the big bag of gifts that Shun Hand returned, and decided to get up tomorrow to open it again. But when he got up, he hesitated for a while, turned over, picked out the share that Pei Qingzhi had given, and took it back to the room.

First took off the gorgeous skirt on her body, put the crown away carefully, took a bath and removed her makeup, and put on her pajamas. She took the small box and jumped onto the bed. She shook it first, and she couldn't hear any sound, and then suppressed her curiosity to open the box.

Inside is a very simple black velvet jewelry box. When you open it, it is a pair of black crystal earrings.

It is not particularly expensive jewelry, but black crystals are relatively rare. This pair of diamond-shaped earrings is obviously the best stone material, crystal clear, and deep black, as if with a mysterious attraction.

Tang Xi tried it, and it turned out to be a good container for storing spiritual power, and couldn't help laughing.

Pei Qingzhi really knew her.

Putting the jewelry box aside, she lay down on the bed and couldn't help touching the bracelet on her wrist again.

Yunqi...
