Even as a disciple of Xianshan, she could not understand this abnormal phenomenon.

Xiao Yunting put on his bathrobe, and his originally half-wet hair was as if it had been fished out of the water. The pain caused by the acupuncture process made him sweat profusely, but his face did not show any expression throughout the whole process.

"Maybe I practiced too fast." He said in a hoarse voice.

Seeing him like this, Ye Lan leaned over, cupped his sweaty face and kissed him.

Xiao Yunting paused, then raised his slightly heavy eyelids. His deep gaze fell on the girl's face, carefully identifying every trace of her gentle expression. "Cultivation is like this. You know it better than me. Don't worry."

Although this kind of heartache, he enjoyed it very much.

"It's different." Ye Lan shook her head, took his hand and placed it on herself, staring at him and said, "If it were me, I could bear it, but with you, that feeling is in my heart."

The heart beating slowly under the palm of my hand seemed to carry some kind of emotion, a dull and sour mood that made people feel unhappy.

"It's the first time I have this feeling, it's wonderful." Ye Lan gently touched his forehead, sharing her first experience in her life in more than 20 years.

The two looked into each other's eyes and saw themselves clearly in each other's world.

Xiao Yunting couldn't help but close his eyes, took a deep breath, and whispered, "Me too. This little pain may not be a big deal, but I don't want you to experience it."

Hearing this, Ye Lan raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Maybe, this is what love is.

"Anyway, if there's anything wrong with you, tell me immediately."

"good."

Finally, at Ye Lan's strong request, Xiao Yunting made a promise.

Then the two talked about their next itinerary.

This time it was Ye Lan's turn to go alone with Xiao Yunting.

"Is there any place you want to go? Traveling around the world is also fine." Xiao Yunting asked her opinion in return.

The two were having dinner in the restaurant at the moment. Upon hearing this, Ye Lan looked over and raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't the chairman of the Xiao Group busy?"

She remembered that when she was recuperating in Jiangcheng, the other party had to get up early to work.

Hearing the teasing in her words, Xiao Yunting asked while picking up some food for her, "Were you very busy in Xuanzong before?"

Well... not really.

Not only is he not busy, but because of his high position and power, he has so many capable people under him that he often has enough free time to go into seclusion, or travel for several years. He is so free.

So if we put ourselves in his shoes, Xiao Yunting was so busy with work before, was it simply because he had nothing else to do?

This guess is only half right.

Because, "It is indeed busy, but as long as the general direction is under control, you don't have to worry about other things." The reason why Xiao Yunting is busy is that he has too many identities and too many things to take care of.

"So, I can arrange your time." Ye Lan took a bite of the food and suddenly thought of something interesting. "Then you can go to a place with me."

Three days later.

Northwestern Shaanxi Province.

This city, which is known as a plateau oasis and the Mother Earth, has a backward economy. Except for the peak tourist season, it is rarely visited at other times.

But recently, many new buildings have suddenly appeared on this vast plateau overnight, most of which are endless tents, as if some kind of fair is about to be held.

In the middle, there is a rather luxurious and majestic courtyard, standing out among the bare loess.

But no one in the local area dared to approach, and occasionally some curious tourists would be stopped when they wanted to take a look.

"Why can't I go over there?"

The young people here don’t understand it, but the older generation is very secretive about it and knows every teahouse and theater like the back of their hand.

"There's a local market that only opens at midnight, in a deserted, desolate area in the suburbs. It's brightly lit and bustling with activity in the middle of the night, commonly known as the Ghost Market."

"Ghost market? Is that where people go?"

"Of course people go there, but the things they sell are from underground."

"What underground?"

"Dead man's stuff."

A tour group got goosebumps all over their bodies after listening to a story in front of a shadow puppet theater. After the shadow puppet finished telling the story and left, several young people at the same table gathered together to discuss it.

"Hey, are you guys going out tonight?" A young man knocked on the table and, taking a sip of tea, leaned in closer to ask the others in a low voice, "The tour guide has already told me that anyone who wants to go tonight will be charged 500 yuan per person."

"Five hundred?! Our total trip is only fifteen hundred, this is a robbery." Another boy immediately vomited blood. He was a college student, and he had to pay for this graduation trip himself. It was obvious that he was not very willing to do so.

The young man leading the group rolled his eyes at him. "Nonsense! That's a ghost market, very hard to come by. They sell antiques from tombs. The chances of finding a bargain are much higher than at Panjiayuan. These few hundred yuan aren't even enough for an admission ticket. The tour guide only wanted to take us along because he was interested. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to go even if you had the money."

Hearing this, the college student shut up, apparently convinced.

At this time, several girls beside them spoke softly, "But we've heard that the ghost market is very dangerous, and many people go missing every year."

“Hey, isn’t this the mysterious and exciting place called Ghost Market? But tonight we’re on the plains, so probably nothing will happen. You girls don’t have to be afraid. Just follow us boys closely and you’ll be fine.” The leading young man patted his chest, acting like a mature and responsible man.

Unfortunately, the girls at the same table didn't look at him, but turned their gaze to a young couple on the other side who had been silent the entire time.

These two people joined the tour group halfway through the neighboring province yesterday. They were not familiar with any of them, but because of their outstanding appearance, they attracted special attention.

At this moment, the man is pouring tea for the girl.

His profile was surprisingly handsome even in the dim death light above his head. His smooth jawline, indifferent thin lips, straight nose and deep eyes hidden under long and straight eyelashes were all so handsome that he was on a different level from the ordinary men around him.

Not to mention that at this moment he was holding the ancient teapot with his slender fingers, pouring tea for his female companion in an elegant manner. Every move he made was extremely luxurious, making people unable to take their eyes off him.

And the woman accompanying him was even more exaggerated.

She is Ye Lan, a star who is currently extremely popular on all major social media platforms.

It is said that the two were on a self-driving tour, and the car broke down on the way. Ye Lan suddenly wanted to join the tour group, so her boyfriend, who looked very rich, got in the car with her.

"Ms. Ye, and Mr. Yun, you will go together, right?" The young man successfully struck up a conversation with the person on the other side while counting the names of the people on the list. His hands holding the paper and pen were shaking.

"Well, we'll go too." Ye Lan took a sip of tea, raised his eyes slightly and responded lightly. His aloof and cold temperament and overly delicate face seemed to instantly brighten up this dim world.

"Okay, it's our honor to travel with such a big star." The young man smiled from ear to ear and ignored the man next to her the whole time.

The girl at the same table not only gave him a few compliments, but also kept her eyes glued to the man, and it was obvious that she was very moved.

As for why Ye Lan and Xiao Yunting appeared here, it all started with the message sent by the Xuanzong Elders Group two days ago.
