Chapter 66

In the alley, several people panicked when they found that Gu Shuo was the only one who didn't follow them.

Yan Ning'an quickly closed his eyes and reviewed the magic circle he had drawn, sweat pouring down his face. "That's right, the formation should be correct, otherwise the four of us wouldn't have been able to successfully get here. How come only Boss Gu was left behind? Is it because we traveled through time separately this time..."

Ye Yun frowned and asked, "Can we use witchcraft to find the person?"

Yan Ning'an shook his head awkwardly: "There is no such witchcraft."

No way, is he in trouble? He is in trouble! If he really loses Boss Gu, his trip back home will be ruined!

Yan Ning'an scratched his head in frustration.

Su Xuan remained silent for a moment and clenched his fists.

He turned his head and looked at Lu Tao, who was looking over, and asked, "Dad, are you sure this is the capital?"

Lu Tao looked around and said uncertainly, "After all, I've never been here myself. I've only heard from the monsters I've met before that the capital is prosperous, with many nobles and delicious food. There's a restaurant called Huachunlou..."

He pointed to the left and whispered, "I see a restaurant called Huachunlou up ahead, so this must be the capital, right?"

Capital city.

"Ah Xuan, maybe we can see myself from over a thousand years ago."

The man's gentle voice echoed in Su Xuan's mind.

Su Xuan took a deep breath, his heart beating wildly.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he tried to calm himself down, saying, "...A Shuo might have traveled through time again."

When these words were spoken, the other three were stunned.

Lu Tao said stupidly, "Soul travel? He, which puppy did he travel into again?"

Although Lu Tao already knew that Gu Shuo's identity was not simple, he didn't know it so clearly. After all, he had been busy preparing for the time travel since he met Su Xuan. The time was short, and these things could not be explained clearly in a few words.

But Yan Ning'an was different. He asked perceptively, "Mr. Su, do you think that Boss Gu might have... traveled into someone else's body?"

Su Xuan looked at him and nodded.

He said calmly, "There's no other way now. You can't locate him with witchcraft, so we wouldn't even know where to start looking. We might as well complete the mission first. We don't even know why the caster of the time-travel spell brought us here. We can't waste any more time."

That's right, no matter what they want to help Zong Ning do or find Gu Shuo, they have no idea. They can't come to any conclusion by discussing here, so they might as well go out and look for clues.

Indeed, the fact that Gu Shuo's soul had traveled through time was entirely Su Xuan's own expectation. Perhaps the man was simply left in the time tunnel, or perhaps Ah Shuo had an accident during the latter half of the journey...

There are all kinds of possibilities.

But at this moment, Su Xuan couldn't think about these things.

Ah Shuo must be fine. He didn't fall into this alley with them. He might have fallen somewhere else, or his soul might have traveled into his original body in this era.

All in all, nothing will happen to him.

Su Xuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again he said calmly, "Yan Ning'an, is your spiritual power sufficient now? To what extent can you transform our luggage?"

Yan Ning'an came back to his senses and looked at Su Xuan with a complicated look.

It was his lover who was lost, but when others were panicking, he was the first to calm down and sort out his thoughts.

This young man usually looks careless and heartless, but at the critical moment, he will let others feel that he is indeed a powerful monster of the first generation.

Strong in strength and strong in heart.

Yan Ning calmed down - that's right, there was no point in feeling guilty and regretful now, the key was what they were going to do next.

He said, "I only have half of my spiritual power left. I can probably only change our clothes, backpacks, and hairstyles."

Not only Yan Ning'an, but also Su Xuan and Lu Tao only had half of their spiritual power left - this was probably the effect of time and space travel.

Su Xuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's split up and search for clues later. Ye Yun will be with me, and Dad and Yan Ning'an, you two have spiritual powers and can protect yourselves, so you can act alone. This way, we'll be more efficient. We just need to find something that can serve as a communication signal..."

Yan Ning'an continued, "I can cast a magic circle on everyone. If there are any clues that require everyone to gather together, just input spiritual power into the magic circle, and the formation will draw everyone together."

Once you’ve made your decision, take action.

Yan Ning'an changed their clothes and hairstyles to suit the style of the era. They couldn't be too conspicuous, so they were all made of coarse cloth. But how should I put it...

Some of these people are so good-looking that no matter how shabby they are dressed, their faces still have a strong presence.

Yan Ning'an cast a small magic circle on the wrists of Su Xuan and Lu Tao, and they sneaked out of the alley. After confirming that there was no problem, they exchanged glances and started to act separately.

*

Su Xuan and Ye Yun went east, Lu Tao went west, and Yan Ning'an went south - to the north was the imperial palace. They always felt that the caster of the time-space shuttle spell would not play such a big trick on them, so they gave up exploring that area for the time being.

The capital city was indeed prosperous, forming a stark contrast with the small village where they had lived before. Of course, it was still incomparable to the future, but it was more ancient and full of historical atmosphere.

Su Xuan and Ye Yun walked forward cautiously while observing their surroundings.

Although Su Xuan tried to be calm, he couldn't help but think of all sorts of things in his mind, and his eyes subconsciously swept across the faces of passersby one by one.

But Gu Shuo's falling behind was already full of strangeness. There must have been a mistake. How could he really find the other party so easily?

Ye Yun lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Su, you and Mr. Gu both lived in the present more than a thousand years ago, right? Do you think it's possible that his soul could have traveled into his own body in this era?"

At this moment, Ye Yun also reacted.

Su Xuan paused and replied in a low voice: "...Yeah."

Ye Yun was probably the one who could empathize with Su Xuan the most at this moment. He consoled him, "Then let's keep an eye out for any families with the surname Gu along the way. Mr. Gu will definitely come looking for us when he wakes up."

But Gu Shuo probably has no idea at all.

Su Xuan pursed his lips, and the next second he was annoyed at why he became discouraged again. He quickly cheered up and thought positively.

If you don't have any ideas, you can force yourself to find them. What would Ah Shuo think if he came here with them?

Su Xuan automatically put himself in Lao Gong's shoes and murmured, "He knows our goal is to find Zong Ning. If we find Zong Ning, we might meet. The problem is how to find Zong Ning..."

Su Xuan suddenly turned around and asked Ye Yun, "Where do you think Zong Ning is most likely to have had an accident?"

Ye Yun was confused by the question: "I haven't known him for long, but..."

——But let’s be honest, that stinky phoenix is definitely not a real phoenix.

Both of them confirmed this message from each other's eyes.

At this moment, two passersby walked past them and whispered to each other: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, have you heard about the prostitute's death? It was so tragic. The murderer is said to be a bit weird, crazy and inhuman..."

"After all this, would anyone still dare to go to those brothels in Anpingfang?"

"What are you thinking? It's just a dead body. Who can be scared by it? I will eventually go to the land of peace and happiness..."

The two of them laughed slyly.

——Suddenly, an arm blocked the two men: "Two brothers, please stay!"

The two were startled and looked in the direction of the arm, their eyes immediately widened.

The young man who was blocking the way of the two men was clearly dressed in gray, but his face was brighter than anything else, with red lips and white teeth, and he was pretty. His beautiful peach blossom eyes could captivate them.

The two of them swallowed and said blankly, "Xiao-Xiao-Sheng-jun, what's the matter?"

Su Xuan rubbed his hands awkwardly and asked, "Um, where is the Anpingfang you are talking about?"

Behind him, another handsome young man was in a state of mental collapse. He lowered his head, muttering to himself with a ferocious expression on his face, "If that damn phoenix dares to visit a brothel, he's finished. He's finished. I'm going to strangle him to death..."

The two passers-by shuddered and felt a chill running up their spines.
