The Female Lead is Looking at Me Differently (GL) - Chapter 6

Fu Yu walked ahead alone. She held her sword in one hand, lowered her head, and looked at the scattered stones on the ground, then gently walked around them and went inside.

She didn’t wait for You Zixia and Wen Zhao, nor did she look back at them. Instead, she walked slowly alone, once again facing the memories that were too painful for her.

It seemed that for Fu Yu, this state had already been destined to be her norm – no need to look back, no stopping, and never waiting or expecting anyone.

According to the original novel, after the Fu family was destroyed, other sects or families had also sent people to investigate and deal with the matter.

However, even when the head of the Lihuo Sect was personally present at that time, he could not find out any information. The only thing that could be found was a useful clue that a demon cultivator had come and left behind demonic aura.

But that was all. Because no one could find out where this demonic aura came from or where it went, the murderer seemed to have fallen from the sky, and after doing all these cruel things, he disappeared into thin air.

Because of this, the investigation into the massacre of the Fu family could only be hastily concluded, with no further developments.

You Zixia walked over and investigated with Fu Yu, and then tried to continue investigating with search talismans and trace tracking talismans, but of course, You Zixia couldn’t find anything that even his master, the head of the Lihuo Sect, couldn’t find.

However, after all, they were the male and female leads, and sometimes the plot would always give them a little backdoor. So in the original novel, You Zixia’s trace tracking talisman actually found something.

——However, this was because the female lead accidentally dropped a drop of her own blood on the talisman paper.

Wen Zhao silently followed behind them, acting as a silent background.

Although Wen Zhao was one of the three members of the investigation team, her mind was not on this at the moment. Compared to this, Wen Zhao had something more important, and that was the Fu family’s ancestral hall.

That’s right, it was the ancestral hall where the ancestors were enshrined.

Wen Zhao glanced at You Zixia and Fu Yu not far away, seeing that they were concentrating on their investigation and didn’t notice her, she tiptoed and quietly left.

The Fu family residence was very large, although it was already ruined, but these buildings were winding and winding, which almost made Wen Zhao lose her way. While following her own guess, Wen Zhao was thinking about the contents of the book.

Wen Zhao knew that after Fu Yu finished searching there, she would definitely come to the ancestral hall, and the plot in the original novel was also triggered here.

A year ago when the Fu family was massacred, the ancestral hall was naturally also damaged. When Fu Yu was dealing with the aftermath, she endured the grief and anger, and followed the people from other sects and families to investigate little by little, and then in the ancestral hall, she cleaned up the slightly damaged place.

However, during this year, that person had also appeared once, and once again destroyed the place that Fu Yu had tidied up.

When Fu Yu returned to her old place and saw that the former enemy had probably returned and destroyed this place again, she undoubtedly felt a surge of anger, but this burning flame was cold and gloomy.

Fu Yu suppressed the emotions churning in her heart and calmly investigated with You Zixia. Because this place had been damaged, it meant that the person must have come back, so maybe something could be found.

And the drop of blood that Fu Yu had dropped on the talisman paper was when she was touched by a plaque.

… Wen Zhao stopped and finally found the place. She looked at the half-cut wooden door in front of her, and after clearly seeing the pattern carved on the door lock, she confirmed that this was the Fu family’s ancestral hall.

She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then lifted her skirt, pushed aside the grass, and carefully walked up the steps to the door, looking inside.

Because there was no candlelight, the light inside was very dim, and only a little light coming in from the broken windows allowed one to barely see the situation inside.

There was a lot of dust and cobwebs piled up here, and dried, blackened blood stains could be seen everywhere, but that was not the point. The point was the… plaques in front, some complete and some broken.

Sure enough, it was the same as the content of the novel.

Even as an outsider, Wen Zhao couldn’t help but feel a jump in her heart when she saw this scene, let alone Fu Yu.

Wen Zhao couldn’t imagine what kind of emotional ups and downs Fu Yu had experienced after seeing such a scene, having already gone through the pain of her family being massacred. She couldn’t imagine even more how she was able to quickly calm down, endure the burning pain of hatred, and then continue to investigate with You Zixia.

Even just imagining such emotions, Wen Zhao couldn’t bear it, let alone Fu Yu, who had actually experienced it.

Therefore… this was why Wen Zhao, daringly and risking being deducted female supporting character value, came here.

She was thinking… since the memorial tablets had been destroyed, it meant that Fu Yu would also prick her finger and leave blood when she sorted them out later, so on this basis, could she tidy up this place a little more, make it look less desolate and barren, at least, could she make Fu Yu a little less sad?

And if she could make Fu Yu a little less sad, even just a little, it would be good.

Wen Zhao stayed at the door for a few seconds, then pursed her lips forcefully, and strengthened her determination.

At this moment, the system, which had been silent for a long time, seemed to finally realize what Wen Zhao wanted to do, and it quickly said, [Stop it.]

Probably for the first time, the electronic system was also flustered, so Wen Zhao’s original nervousness and fear suddenly disappeared a little, and she smiled in her heart and replied to the system, [No, what can you do to me?]

System: [Your female supporting character value will be deducted like this.]

Wen Zhao thought for a moment, then rejected it, [But the female lead can’t see it, and I’m the only one here, I don’t think this counts as being OOC.]

System: “……” This host’s words were actually surprisingly reasonable?

Rarely did Wen Zhao refute it with reason, and the system was speechless.

Wen Zhao went inside, then took a deep breath nervously… and then breathed in a mouthful of dust = = She decided to be quick and try to finish these things before Fu Yu arrived. So under the pressure of this thought, Wen Zhao’s original fear faded away a lot.

She squatted down, picked up a spirit tablet, and her originally clean fingers were immediately covered in thick dust.

Wen Zhao bit her lip, had no time to be daunted, then stood up, carefully held the spirit tablet with both hands, tiptoed, and sneakily walked to the middle, placing the tablet in place.

She did this five or six times, and couldn’t help but wipe her forehead… it wasn’t because she was tired, but because she was feeling guilty.

Because Wen Zhao didn’t want Fu Yu to see such a sad scene, so naturally she wouldn’t make a big noise to attract her attention, so the more careful she was, the more tired she was.

Suddenly, Wen Zhao caught a glimpse of a figure standing at the door, and this made the hair on the back of her neck stand on end, and she took two steps back.

However, when she turned around, she saw the person’s face.

It was Fu Yu.

The moment she saw her face, Wen Zhao’s eyes widened, and her heart seemed to stop, and the next moment, she felt her hands get hot, and the spirit tablet she was carefully holding almost fell.

Luckily, the tighter her heart was, the tighter her grip. Wen Zhao subconsciously gripped the wooden tablet, feeling a slight sting in her palm, probably from a protruding splinter, but thankfully, she didn’t actually drop it, otherwise she would never be able to clear her name.

Fu Yu stood there, looking in Wen Zhao’s direction. A gentle breeze blew outside, ruffling her hair. Wen Zhao didn’t know how long she had been standing there, she only saw Fu Yu still maintaining the posture of just stepping onto the stairs, with one foot still outside.

She was stiff, as if rooted to the tree, motionless for a long time.

Because it was against the light, her expression was not very clear. From Wen Zhao’s perspective, she could only see Fu Yu pressing her hand tightly against the door frame, her fingers slightly clenched, with a force as if she was about to dig her nails into it.

Wen Zhao was even a little worried that she would break her nails the next moment.

… But that was a secondary concern now!

Wen Zhao escaped the initial panic of seeing a ghost, and now fell into a new kind of panic. That was, she had trespassed into the Fu family’s ancestral hall, and she had secretly done so many things just now, and she didn’t know where Fu Yu had started watching from, and she might think that Wen Zhao was doing something bad.

Such a guess made Wen Zhao a little panicked, even more panicked than when she saw the runaway horse was about to fly into her face! If, if she was misunderstood by Fu Yu here today, then Wen Zhao would just cry to the system!

System: “…”

So, as the saying goes, those who don’t listen to the system will suffer the consequences.

Wen Zhao’s mind went blank, and for a moment she didn’t know what to do or say, and she was even more flustered than when she saw the out-of-control horse was about to fly into her face. She felt like she was about to lose her voice.

Wen Zhao stammered, “Th-that…”

Fu Yu finally moved. She looked at Wen Zhao’s current appearance, then lowered her eyes, stepped onto the stairs, and then slowly walked over to Wen Zhao, step by step.

Wen Zhao took a small step back timidly, sucked in her nose, and pursed her lips. Then she raised her eyes and looked at Fu Yu with some trepidation.

At this time, the system had already started to give strong suggestions and hints. [Quickly start acting, please maintain your female supporting character persona.]

As a system, it naturally prioritizes “tasks” and “female supporting character points”, perhaps it was helping Wen Zhao in its own way, but the system valued those things, and when giving suggestions, it would also prioritize them, even thinking that they were more important than the female lead’s mood value or favorability.

But, Wen Zhao was different from it.

She had seen what Fu Yu had gone through, so how could she do something harmful to the ancestral hall at this moment.

Female supporting character value or favorability? No, neither was as important as Fu Yu’s mood.

So Wen Zhao decided that if Fu Yu didn’t want to ask, then she wouldn’t say anything. If Fu Yu wanted to know what had happened just now, then she would tell the truth.
