Chapter 43 Bring the little rabbit to find Xie Nan

Xie Buyou's dark eyes moved slightly as he looked at the white ball. His two long ears twitched, looking very cute.

"rabbit?"

Xie Buyou paused for a moment, then remembered that the rabbit seemed to belong to Xie Nan.

Not long after he solved Xie Nan's problem, a disciple brought this rabbit to him. Because it was raised freely, he had never paid much attention to it. He never expected that the rabbit would come to his house on its own initiative today.

Xie Buyou stood up and walked towards Xiao Baituan, and picked up the rabbit in the corner. The rabbit was very obedient in Xie Buyou's arms, and its little nose was twitching, as if it was sniffing the scent of Xie Buyou.

Xie Buyou laughed, "Can you smell who your master is?" He paused and said, "I remember your name was Xiaobai? I didn't expect you to be so fat already."

The first time Xie Buyou saw this rabbit was in Xie Nan's arms. The rabbit was very small at that time, but he didn't expect it to be so heavy now. It looks almost half its size than before.

"It would be great if you could take me to find Xie Nan..."

Xie Buyouyou touched the rabbit's smooth fur. It was pure white without a trace of other colors. Even its red eyes revealed the same clarity and innocence as Xie Nan's.

His first impression of Xie Nan when he first met her was that she was like a well-behaved rabbit.

Xie Buyou raised the rabbit in his hand and looked at it. "I didn't expect it to really become a rabbit this time. Even its eyes are red..."

"Why don't you come with me to see your master tomorrow? He will be very happy to see you, right?"

He wanted to take the soul lamp to find Tang Shanfeng and ask him to help find out where Xie Nan was now. He didn't know how he had been doing these days. Was he bullied?

An Nian has settled down here, and the next thing to do is to find Xie Nan. Although he can't help Xie Nan who has been possessed by a demon, he can't just watch him and do nothing. At least providing him with a place to live would be good.

He also wanted to know the reason why Xie Nan went to the Fantasy Valley. What made Xie Nan go to a place full of illusions regardless of the danger? It led him to go astray and finally let the inner demon take control.

Xie Nan and Mu Yinshen didn't have much in common, and he had successfully deviated from his path, but his deviation was so severe that it was almost like a complete collapse.

Xie Buyu hugged the rabbit and lay on the bed. The soul lamp on the table was burning silently. Gradually, the sound of gentle breathing could be heard. The person on the bed had fallen asleep.

Early the next morning, Xie Buyu came to Guijin Hall carrying the rabbit and the soul lamp, and found Tang Fengshan who also got up early to study the star map.

The porcelain white ground and the vast expanse of stars all around made it seem as if one had stepped into another strange dimension.

The man wearing a star pattern sat cross-legged in the center, his back looking incredibly mysterious.

As soon as Xie Buyou stood behind him with the rabbit in his arms, Tang Fengshan stretched out his hand to him and said, "Have you brought the soul lamp?"

Xie Buyou was stunned for a moment, and asked him subconsciously, "How did you know I was looking for you?"

"That's fine." Tang Fengshan said, "It seems like you can only turn to me."

The head of the Guijin Hall is nearing the end of his life. Although he still looks young and in good health, he has actually consumed a lot of energy. The elders in the hall will not easily calculate their fortunes. Only Tang Fengshan has the best talent among the young generation. Relying on his youth and hard work, he certainly won't mind helping with a small matter.

Moreover, this was Xie Buyu's first time asking him for help, and he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.

You see, geniuses also need help from geniuses.

"It's good to be able to tell fortunes. You can make a fortune just by relying on this." Xie Buxi was neither worried nor pretentious. He immediately took out Xie Nan's soul lamp and gave it to Tang Fengshan.

"We don't give in to others easily."

Tang Fengshan placed the soul lamp in front of himself as he spoke, closed his eyes, and calmed his mind. His spiritual sea began to expand invisibly, slowly entering the soul lamp.

Xie Buyou stood quietly beside him, even his breathing became lighter.

The candlelight on the soul lamp burned and flickered in his eyes, and black threads overflowed and diffused from the black flames, spreading around to form a scene.

Xie Buyou was shocked. The scene Tang Fengshan calculated this time was completely different from the last time. Even the surrounding scenery was conjured up.

He saw an eerily busy street. The pedestrians coming and going had pale faces and something weird in their movements. Their faces were dull and their steps were stiff. They didn't look like living people. The same was true for the vendors around them.

There was no life in the entire city. Xie Buyu could even see a dark aura lingering on the passers-by.

In this strange atmosphere, Xie Buyou saw Xie Nan's back, who quickly disappeared among the crowd. Xie Buyou did not see Xie Nan's face clearly, but he saw more black aura from Xie Nan's back than from the other people around him.

The scene did not last long and slowly faded away. The black thread returned to the flame of the soul lamp, and Tang Fengshan also opened his eyes.

"Have you seen Xie Nan?" he asked.

"I see." Xie Buyu nodded and thought, "But that place is very strange. Everyone has demonic energy on them, but it doesn't come from them. It's attached to them. It looks more like ordinary people have come into contact with demons."

"It's very strange." Tang Fengshan naturally also saw that scene. As the main calculator, he saw it more comprehensively than Xie Buyou.

"I know a little about that place. It's in the human world. But it's not like it is now. It's probably invaded by demons. As for how many demons there are, I don't know."

Tang Fengshan stood up, picked up the soul lamp on the ground and gave it back to Xie Buyu, saying to him, "I'll go with you, is that okay?"

"What are you doing?" Xie Buyu asked him curiously, "This doesn't seem to be any of your business, right?"

"I'd love to."

"what ever."

Xie Buyou didn't bother him too much. If he wanted to go, he could go. It was just right for them to go together so that they could take care of each other.

There was no time to lose, so Xie Buyou didn't waste any more time and gave Tang Fengshan three minutes to pack his luggage because he didn't know how long they would be gone this time.

"Three minutes is not enough time to go to the bathroom, what can I pack?" Tang Fengshan collected the star map of the whole room and walked out. "I don't have anything to pack, let's go now."

As soon as he opened the door, Tang Fengshan came face to face with a rabbit.

After a long while of looking at each other, Tang Fengshan turned around and said to Xie Buyou, "Is this the rabbit you raised?"

"No." Xie Buyu walked over and picked up the rabbit. "This is Xie Nan's rabbit. You can eat it if you get hungry on the way."

I don’t know if the little rabbit understood what Xie Buyou said. It struggled twice in Xie Buyou’s arms, and when it couldn’t break free, it kicked his arms hard a few times.

"You have quite a temper." Tang Fengshan chuckled, "You are a good rabbit."

He paused and said, "This rabbit doesn't look ordinary."

Xie Buyou replied expressionlessly, "Really? I can't tell."

The rabbit had nothing to do in the hilltop. He just ate and slept normally, and lived a leisurely life every day. He couldn't see anything unusual about it, at least he didn't notice it.

Before leaving, Tang Fengshan only asked the disciples in the sect to inform the sect master that he was going out to gain some experience, and then he followed Xie Buyu and left the sect.

As soon as he left the sect, Xie Buyou summoned the Zhaoyun Sword and went to the destination with Tang Fengshan.

Windward City—three big characters wrapped in the cold wind hung high on the city gate.

Guards stood side by side on both sides of the city gate. People kept coming in and out, some carrying bags, some sitting in carriages. Everyone had a smile on their face, without any of the dullness seen in the star map.

"Feel it? It's weird here."

Tang Fengshan patted his sleeves, changed out of his disciple uniform to make it easier for them, and came here wearing ordinary clothes.

But temperament cannot be changed, and their faces are very eye-catching. Passers-by will cast emotionless glances at them from time to time.

Xie Buyu looked around and nodded, "Their smiles are weird, too stiff."

The passers-by had standard smiles on their faces, as if they were copied.

"No matter what, we have to go in. Maybe we can find the reason."

Xie Buyu hung the Zhaoyun Sword around his waist, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

The two entered the city gate. The guards on both sides stood still like statues, staring straight ahead, without any obstruction.

They entered the city smoothly. The scene inside was just as lively as outside. The bustling crowd and hawkers around were no different from the place where Xie Buyou went last time with Ye Feiyu and Ye You.

Apart from the smiles on their faces, it was still weird.

It was as if they couldn't smile, and the curves that were forced onto their faces made them look like they were wearing a smiling mask. However, their actions were normal, and there was nothing wrong with them other than that.

"Do you know why Xie Nan came here?" Xie Buyu asked Tang Fengshan while observing the situation around him.

"How should I know?" Tang Fengshan was also observing the surroundings at the same time. The glances that passers-by cast at them from time to time made him very uncomfortable.

"I can predict fate, but I can't predict the human heart. The human heart is too complicated and will change due to various situations. No one can predict it."

"For example, your thoughts." Tang Fengshan looked at him sideways, "I know Xie Nan is your brother, and you must be very anxious about this situation, but why did you come alone to look for him? Aren't you afraid that you will also be in danger?"

Xie Buyu chuckled, "If I were afraid I wouldn't have come here."

"Why did you come along? Aren't you afraid that I will abandon you and run away if you encounter danger? You know, with my strength, I can still escape even if I can't win."

"You won't." Tang Fengshan said firmly.

"Really?" Xie Buyou smiled meaningfully, his eyes narrowed with a hint of cunning.

He said: "It's not good to trust someone too much. Isn't it stupid to put your life in someone else's hands?"

"I believe in your character."

"What if I have no character?" Xie Buyu retorted.

Tang Fengshan did not say anything this time. He just stopped and looked into Xie Buyou's eyes. His star-like eyes stared at him for a long time before he spoke: "Xie Buyou, I think you have changed."

Xie Buyou instantly became alert and looked back at him in the same way, "What has changed?"

Tang Fengshan turned his head away from Xie Buyou's gaze and looked at the crowded crowd in the distance, as if recalling something. "In the past, you seemed to have been walking along a prescribed route. Whether it was the way you spoke or the changes in your facial expressions, they all seemed to be prepared in advance."

"Now you seem to have been infused with a soul and have your own self. Although I can't tell exactly what has changed, the feeling you give me is different."

Xie Buyou heaved a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved. He thought someone had really seen through him, but it turned out to be just a feeling. However, even though it was just a feeling, there was no guarantee that he would have other thoughts in the future. Xie Buyou felt that he should say something to save the situation.

He coughed a few times and said with a guilty conscience: "Actually... I think... it's not that I can't protect you. After all, it's a bit embarrassing to abandon my companions and run away by myself. Of course, if the situation is really urgent, I will definitely ask the sect for help after I run away."

Tang Fengshan: "So you decided to leave me alone and run away?"

Xie Buyou shook his head, looked at him seriously and said, "If one person escapes, there is still a chance to save the other person. If both of us are caught, there will be no chance."

He approached Tang Fengshan and whispered in his ear: "If the next successors of the two great sects, Wandao Sect and Guijin Hall, both died in this small place, it would be so embarrassing if the news got out. I can't afford to lose face, so you just lose face."

Tang Fengshan: “…” Should I thank you?

Tang Fengshan was about to say something when he was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"Would you two like to stay at our hotel? We provide free food and drinks."
