Chapter 74: Right on Schedule
... WTF!
Shen Qingqiu's outburst wasn't because of the other's face. If only that were the case, but the crucial thing was that the youth outside the door—f***, his entire face was burnt off. It was like there was a mosaic over the whole thing!
Even though the Dream Demon had said at the start that there was a certain possibility of people's faces being obscured or ruptures appearing in the memory—after actually running into this possibility, Shen Qingqiu felt an intense desire to vomit blood.
Dream Demon-juju, can't we give fixing this bug a go? I really want to know what this face looks like ah ah ah!
Just when Shen Qingqiu wanted to pass through the door and see if closing the distance could make the mosaic drop off, another rupture appeared in the memory.
This time, the setting was a study.
Young Master Qiu was writing on a table. Shen Jiu stood in attendance to the side, silently grinding his ink.
The Shen Jiu of this time was still a thin and weak youth, but he had stretched in the vertical direction. Among his peers, he would count as rather tall and thin. Standing there to wait upon Young Master Qiu, he gave off a kind of cold and tranquil scholarly aura.
When one sheet of paper was almost complete, Shen Jiu spoke, head lowered and gaze obediently. "Young Master, there's one matter..."
Young Master Qiu didn't even lift his eyes. "The matter you wish to speak of, is it that charlatan in the city?"1
Shen Jiu defended, "Elder Wu Yanzi isn't a charlatan."
