Yun Youshun took them to visit half of the city.
This small city also has some shops. Although the streets are empty, these shops are all open, as if they are self-service stores without staff.
Maybe the clerk was called away at short notice and didn't have time to close the shop; maybe he left the shop open specifically for her to visit; or maybe it was because there weren't many people in the city and everyone was familiar with each other, and they trusted each other to the point of leaving their doors unlocked at night.
Bai Ningning noticed that each building in this small city hidden in the mountains had its own unique design, but one of the main reasons why it looked so harmonious was the color scheme. The entire city was a fairy-tale-like light candy color; secondly, it was well-arranged. If one could see a sand table or a 3D model, perhaps there was a beautiful formation hidden inside.
The few of them seemed to be strolling in front of a large, magnificent and splendid villa. It looked like a palace where a princess or prince would live in a fairy tale.
Bai Ningning guessed that if this city was really a formation, this villa was most likely the center of the formation.
Yun Youshun didn't take them on a further tour. Instead, he led them into the palace-like villa and finally explained the reason for his invitation: "To be honest, I'd like to ask you for a favor this time."
"I'd like to hear more about it."
Yun Youshun sighed after entering the house, his face visibly dejected. "To be honest, my youngest son has been bewitched by an evil spirit. I'm afraid his life is in danger, so I'm desperate and have come to you for help..."
Bai Ningning remained expressionless, but alarm bells were ringing in her heart.
Is he hinting?
Did he see through Geng Yiyi's true nature? Did he see through the Chu Ze that Geng Yiyi played at the regular meeting?
Who did the Yun family send to attend the regular meeting of the Xuan Committee?
The impression of Bai Ningning was a bit vague, like a young face that always kept its head down and shivered.
[Note: This is meant to allude to events that happened many years ago.]
[But Ningning seems to be distracted? ]
Ningning may not have misjudged the idea, but most first-time viewers did.
【Old misleading】
Bai Ningning felt much more at ease after seeing the comments, and calmly played Tai Chi with him: "I can't guarantee it, but you can let me give it a try."
Yun Youshun took her to his youngest son's room, where a young boy was playing with Lego. Yun Youshun introduced her, "This is my son Yun Xian."
This was a young man about her age, wearing a retro plaid shirt with black plaid on a red background. He was in a very bad mental state, with a pale face, a scary dark spot under his eyes, and droopy eyelids as if he couldn't muster up any energy.
Bai Ningning felt that his face looked familiar, and she might have seen him somewhere.
At the regular meeting of the Xuan Committee?
It shouldn't be like this. If he was in this state during the regular meeting, she wouldn't have been unaware of it, and the others at the meeting wouldn't have just ignored it.
Yun Youshun said, "The one haunting him is an evil spirit that will steal people's luck."
"Bai Ningning?"
Yun Xian raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at her, lacking interest.
Bai Ningning: "Do you know me?"
Yun Xian was obviously too lazy to answer, so he pretended not to hear and continued to build Lego with drooping eyelids.
He moved very slowly, perhaps because of muscle weakness caused by fatigue or because he was too lazy to move due to lack of interest.
Yun Youshun answered for him: "I think I've seen him at school. He went to the same school as you since he was a child."
Bai Ningning noticed his wording.
Instead of pretending to be ignorant and asking, "He goes to Qingwei High School, maybe you have seen him in school?", he said with certainty that they went to the same school.
This shows that the Yun family had been paying attention to her for a long time and deliberately arranged for someone to go to the same school as her, but they were not in the same class. Or perhaps they were deliberately not in the same class in order to avoid attracting Qingweishan's attention.
Yun Youshun can easily deal with such a mere evil spirit.
He deliberately acted this out for Bai Ningning to see, or perhaps for other people who were paying attention to Bai Ningning and the Yun family's actions.
Yun Youshun's face was filled with worry. "To be honest, this evil spirit is extremely difficult to deal with. My son is also disobedient and always sneaks off to meet it. It's also very cunning and will run away if it senses something is wrong."
Bai Ningning was about to ask a few more questions when Chu Yuyan suddenly stopped her: "Let's stop here for today. We will do our best to get to the bottom of this."
"Thank you, thank you!" Yun You's brows lit up with joy. "I'll send you my son's address and contact information right away. Thank you for your help."
Chu Yuyan nodded gently: "Okay. It's getting late, we have to go down the mountain before dark, I hope you can forgive me."
"No, no, it's an honor for Yunjiacheng that you two are willing to visit. I am already very happy." He placed his hand on his chest again and bowed slightly. "I will see you out."
Before Bai Ningning left, she looked back at Yun Xian, who was still playing Lego as if no one was around.
Yun Youshun sent them out of the city, exchanged some polite words with Chu Yuyan, and then stood at the city gate to watch the vehicle leave.
It was not until Chu Yuyan's car disappeared from his sight that he put away his smile and returned to the city with a heavy face.
Bai Ningning checked the time on her phone, staring at Chu Yuyan and saying deliberately, "Time flies so fast. It's already four o'clock."
Chu Yuyan had no idea that he was being exposed, and replied with a smile: "Yes."
Bai Ningning asked, "Are you in such a hurry to leave? Have you already got the information you wanted?"
Chu Yuyan said calmly: "Well, let it air out for a while."
The Yun family did not get involved in the dispute, but deliberately sent their son to be a classmate of Bai Ningning. Perhaps they had known Bai Ningning's identity for a long time, but never said it.
Let it air dry, but not too much.
Bai Ningning: "Is it really okay to just leave it alone? His son looks terrible."
Chu Yuyan: "He can handle it."
[Second brother holds a grudge 3533]
"Ningning, use your keen observation skills! Second Brother has been silent all this time, but now he's suddenly upset and wants to go down the mountain. You don't really think it's too late to walk at night because the sun has set, do you?"
Ningning must know everything, but she's just deliberately not saying anything.
[I even want to trick my second brother =w=]
Bai Ningning felt that she couldn't continue the conversation, so she turned around and admired the lush greenery outside the window, a scenery she had missed when she came.
Seizing the luck seems to be an allusion to Qingwei Mountain and Qinghuai.
But what about the fact that “the son is disobedient and always secretly runs off to meet the evil spirit”?
Yun Youshun probably wanted to hint at something, but Bai Ningning knew too little information to support her inferring a reasonable answer.
I'm just asking the Yun family for help.
Bai Ningning suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to mention the formation to Yun Youshun - this was the top priority. Other things such as building an office and exploring the past were important but not urgent.
She took out her cell phone to tell Yun Youshun about the formation, but found that there was no signal at all. She could only sigh and look out the window to enjoy the scenery.
Chu Yuyan suddenly said: "Mom does have connections with the Yun family."
Bai Ningning: "Hmm?"
Chu Yuyan smiled faintly: "So the Yun family deliberately distanced themselves from us in order to avoid the limelight."
Now that he knows that the King of Hell has reappeared in the world, he is the first to come and "show his loyalty".
But at heart he was still a coward and didn't dare to be too ostentatious, so he made up an excuse to cover up his tracks.
He looked out the window on the other side as he spoke, and the reflection in the window obscured his expression.
Chu Yuyan: "He can't just watch his son die. He's just a demon. Even if we don't care, he can still save him. He's using his son as bait. Even if we don't care, he'll still be able to catch a big fish and send it to you. Just wait and see."
Before coming into contact with Yun Youshun, Chu Yuyan's attitude towards him was relatively neutral; but his attitude changed on the way back, probably because he realized this during the contact.
Bai Ningning suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Isn't this coat you gave me very expensive?"
"Hmm?" Chu Yuyan turned his head to look at her, as if recalling something for a moment. "It's not bad, more than 20,000? I can't remember exactly. My eldest brother bought it. This amount of money is nothing to him."
Bai Ningning said calmly: "Because he looked at my shoes several times."
She was wearing ordinary white shoes, which were not expensive but were washed very clean.
It was obvious that Yun Youshun had heard of the Underworld's office on earth at the gate of Qingwei Mountain a long time ago. He deliberately took Bai Ningning to visit the design of this forest city, just to give Bai Ningning a way out and let Bai Ningning take the initiative to ask him for the design.
The price difference between Bai Ningning's coat and shoes was too great, and Yun Youshun saw it clearly.
And today Chu Yuyan is accompanying her. Even if Bai Ningning has not recognized her relatives yet, she will become very rich in the future.
So Yun Youshun did a favor and expressed his willingness to participate in the design and undertake all the expenses.
The reason is the same as what Chu Yuyan said - this amount of money is nothing to the eldest brother.
Chu Yuyan: "Most people don't know that the three of us are brothers."
Bai Ningning said confidently: "But he knows."
Although Yun Youshun did not mention it throughout the whole process, he quite naturally assumed that Bai Ningning could afford the design fee.
Yun Xian has always been in the same school as her but in a different class, but he could call out her name and didn't find it strange to see her here. Most likely, the Yun family had secretly obtained her information.
Naturally, the other party should also know her financial situation and the current relationship between Qingweishan and her.
If he could still be so sure that she was rich, it could only mean that he knew about Chu Hanzhou's existence.
Needless to say, Bai Ningning and Chu Yuyan had already reached a consensus.
The topic of Yun Youshun ended here. Bai Ningning asked, "The Acting King of Hell and the three of you all have the surname Chu. It's a surname that's not unique but also uncommon. Has no one ever suspected you?"
Chu Yuyan: "I hardly ever use the name Chu Yuyan."
After hearing this, Bai Ningning understood.
Chu Hanzhou and Chu Xisen are both ordinary people and have no apparent connection. Even if people know that they are brothers, they would not connect them with Chu Ze.
Chu Ze deliberately avoided contact with his sons, perhaps to protect them.
Chu Yuyan suppressed his smile, his face expressionless for the first time, and asked, "Do you mind if there's half an extra person staying in the villa?"
Bai Ningning: “?”
Did he just cue the half-human, half-ghost scene when they first met?
Bai Ningning definitely minds.
But after all, it was not her house, and Chu Ze was still lying dead inside. She seemed to have no right to refuse.
Seeing that she hadn't responded yet, Chu Yuyan didn't mind and smiled harmlessly, "It's okay. The villa next door should still be empty, right?"
Bai Ningning: “…”
This damn money power.
Chu Yuyan gave a reasonable reason: "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions, I'm just a little worried about you and dad's situation... Of course, I'm not someone who can move around freely, maybe if something goes wrong we can help each other."
Bai Ningning held her forehead and said, "It's very dangerous to follow me."
Chu Yuyan: "I know, but no one is more dangerous than me."
Bai Ningning: “…”
It's reasonable and irrefutable.
Chu Yuyan added, "The only one who didn't know was that stupid little brother."
It’s not really a concealment, it’s just trying to prevent Chu Xisen from being exposed to any danger.
He wanted to move closer to Bai Ningning, saying that they could help each other, but in fact he came to be her bodyguard.
"……good."
Bai Ningning felt that she couldn't let them down again and again, so she finally nodded.
Since we don’t live on the same floor, just treat us as neighbors living on the same floor above and below, it won’t affect anything.
【Second Brother's Thousand-Layered Routine】
[Big Brother will arrive at the scene in five minutes]
Only fools are excluded.
Bai Ningning thought the barrage was a joke and didn't take it seriously.
After she got home, she wrote down all the information she had received that day. She wrote the ones she was more certain of with a red pen, and put a question mark after the ones she was not sure of, and wrote down the reasons for her belief.
After recording these, list what she will do next.
The top priority is to solve the physical problems of Chu Ze and Chu Yuyan. The former is still under exploration, but the latter already has a rough plan.
Secondly, there are several tasks she assigned. Today she will go to the underworld to check the progress and also check on Yuan Muyang's condition.
And then there is…
Alas, the road to becoming the Little King of Hell is long and arduous.
After finishing her tidying up, Bai Ningning covered her hungry stomach and went downstairs to look for food.
"Are you hungry? Perfect, dinner is just ready."
Chu Hanzhou rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt above his elbows and wore an apron that was totally out of tune with his temperament. He placed a plate of exquisitely presented dishes in the center of the dining table.
Bai Ningning looked in the direction of the door, where his suit jacket and tie were hanging on the coat rack.
Bai Ningning: “……?”
Is she dazzled?
Or did we take the wrong path?
Chu Hanzhou skillfully hung up his apron, smiled, pulled out a chair, and invited Bai Ningning to come over for dinner.
Chu Yuyan's wheelchair was parked in front of the dining table early on, and he explained, "He's on his way home from get off work, so I asked him to bring some food over and leave after he finishes eating. I won't disturb your life or work."
Bai Ningning has been eating in the cafeteria since she was a child, and she has almost no concept of eating together as a family.
Both of them have helped me before, so it's not good to always keep them at a distance.
But after she sat down obediently, she felt strange, something was wrong.
"Wait a moment, I'll call someone else for you."
Bai Ningning immediately thought of a solution and brought Chu Ze from the underworld.
She didn't know how to get along with these two brothers, and Chu Ze must know it. What's more, she had no pressure to confront Chu Ze.
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Chu Hanzhou and Chu Yuyan sitting at the dining table. Chu Ze was stunned for a moment and smiled awkwardly: "What a coincidence?"
Chu Hanzhou asked, "Where's Xiao Senren? Call him over as well."
Chu Yuyan smiled and said, "It's late. He just left this afternoon. He probably just got off the plane."
He took a photo with evil intentions and planned to send it to his stupid brother later.
Chu Ze didn't care much for it. He casually pulled up a chair and sat next to Bai Ningning. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He asked, "Did you order takeout?"
Chu Hanzhou: "No, I asked the chef to come home and make it."
[Hilarious! Just now, my brother was deliberately wearing an apron to scare the kids, but Ningning immediately brought back an appraiser.]
[Third Brother——]
[A world where only the third brother is injured]
People leave in the afternoon, family gatherings are held in the evening.
Bai Ningning ate in silence.
Chu Ze seemed to be fed up with her silence. He moved the orange juice in front of her and asked, "Did you put a note on my back last night?"
Bai Ningning played dumb: "What?"
Chu Ze: "Don't give me that. Xiao Hei has sold you out."
Bai Ningning: "Huh? You went to his place to fight? Bullying a kid?"
Chu Hanzhou didn't understand what they were saying. He returned the orange juice to Bai Ningning and echoed, "Dad, you too. Don't bully children."
Chu Ze frowned and stared at Bai Ningning for a long time.
Bai Ningning continued eating as if nothing had happened.
The comments were filled with harmonious comments like "Hahaha" and "A loving father and a filial son" for a while before disappearing completely.
Chu Ze suddenly said: "You haven't been to the underworld all day, but you seem to know what we did."
Bai Ningning said without hesitation: "Anyone with a brain can figure it out."
Chu Ze hesitated for a moment, then felt that there was no reason for her to lie to him. He said regretfully, "I thought it was related to the domain... Did you really not take the opportunity to install cameras in the underworld?"
Bai Ningning: “…”
She almost thought the barrage was going to be exposed.
Bai Ningning casually asked, "Some people say you're sixty years old. Are you really sixty?"
Chu Ze was furious: "I'm only 54! Who spread rumors?!"
"Oh, I forgot. I just heard it from someone on the street." Bai Ningning replied casually, "If you don't eat well, I'll throw you out."
Chu Ze: “?!”
Chu Yuyan had had enough of the drama and stepped out to act as a peacemaker: "Alright, no business talk at the dinner table."
Chu Ze casually picked up two pieces of food with his chopsticks, changed his target, and looked at Chu Hanzhou: "Xiaowan, you are already old, are you in a relationship?"
[Me, me, me! I'm in a one-sided relationship with Big Brother!]
[Open the door! I'm at the door! I'm your daughter-in-law!]
Bai Ningning's eyes were instantly filled with pink barrages.
Bai Ningning: “…”
She suddenly regretted calling Chu Ze over. She had a very uncomfortable meal.
Chu Ze looked at Chu Yuyan again and was about to speak when he remembered that he spent most of his time in the underworld and had no time to interact with outsiders.
Chu Yuyan smiled and took the initiative to say, "Yes. There are countless evil spirits in Wangchuan. Every day, I randomly choose one to fall in love with in my dreams. There will be no repeat until I die."
Chu Ze: “…”
Bai Ningning: “…”
Bai Ningning wanted to say something but stopped herself, thinking that there were more than just female ghosts in Wangchuan.
Chu Yuyan seemed to be able to read her mind, and looked at her with a smile: "I will pick two randomly every day. I will watch them fall in love, and there will be no duplicates. There will even be some left when I die."
Bai Ningning: “…”
Chu Ze curled his lips and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Even if you randomly pick up dozens of different evil spirit fragments in Wangchuan, you may not be able to piece together a complete ghost."
Chu Yuyan: "Didn't you catch it before? Did you get it together?"
Bai Ningning covered her eyes: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that was your girlfriend..."
How did the topic become so weird?
She buried her head in her food, determined not to respond to anything these people said.
The next second, her phone vibrated and everyone in the room looked over.
Bai Ningning picked it up and saw that it was an empty bottle of vegetable juice that Chu Xisen had given her. She said that he had finished it before taking off and was going to start preparing for the concert.
Chu Ze touched his chin and said, "Does this kid like to drink vegetable juice? I'll buy him some next time."
Chu Yuyan sent the dinner photo to the other party with malicious intentions.
Chu Xisen: “???”
Chu Xisen: "Are you guys excluding me?!"
