Ju Jingbai looked around for Xu Ge, glancing at the police officers hurrying back and forth. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he met Xu Cheng's inquiring gaze.
Her heart tightened, and she quickly sat up and asked, "Brother, where is Xu Ge?"
"This...Xu Ge saved me, I...I am so grateful to him, I must thank him in person." Ju Jingbai added.
"He's discussing the situation with Yuan An over there. You've been in the illusion for so long, are you feeling okay?"
Ju Jingbai: "Not bad."
"Did Xu Ge bully you?" Xu Cheng's chubby face was filled with a smile. "If he did, tell me. Even though we in the Xu family have a religious feud with you, we never bully girls. Only Xu Ge doesn't care about anything. As long as there's money to be made, bullying is nothing!"
Ju Jingbai: "No, Xu Ge didn't bully me. If he bullied me, I would definitely tell you."
"That's good." Xu Cheng nodded. "Are you familiar with Xu Ge?"
"We weren't familiar with each other before, but after this incident, we have a good relationship now." Doesn't this just make up for the previous lie? Ju Jingbai's eyes lit up.
Xu Cheng smiled and pulled Ju Jingbai up: "Well, apart from anything else, my brother is still very loyal." Although, the only difference between loyalties is whether there are benefits or not, Xu Cheng was a little confused.
"That's right." Ju Jingbai brushed the mud off his body. "I'm going to find Yuan An and the others and ask them what exactly happened this time."
"…We've already sent police to investigate overnight the number of newly confirmed vegetative patients in the hospital—thirty-two. Xiao Zhao just received a call from the police station saying someone has just woken up. The peach tree demon must have trapped them in a fantasy world and never released them. He's using their dreams and short-term memories to create a terrifying, infinite realm. The subjects believe they've returned to their memories, but in reality, it's just a small illusion given to them by Tao Lu."
Yuan An pointed at the table in his hand and analyzed it carefully for Xu Ge. "He even calculated the time inside and outside the illusion, making the tasker believe that they were traveling through infinite space. I've already sent someone to the hospital to take Xu Fei, who fainted with you. You all have the golden light of merit to protect you, but he can't. However, because his consciousness was not completely deep, he woke up quickly. When our young police officer called, he said that Xu Fei and his mother cried for half an hour."
"Tsk, if Xiaobai hadn't accidentally discovered this weird place and called me over, I don't know how long it would take for the wronged souls of that group of people to be rescued. So, you know, right?" Xu Ge rubbed his thumb and index finger together, indicating that it was time to pay.
Yuan An didn't waste any time and took out a brand new ten-dollar bill from his bag.
Xu Ge placed the ten yuan in front of his eyes and examined it carefully. "But do we still need to keep those evil spirits in prison? Can we hold so many of them?"
"Well, my prison will do. If you can't hold me back, I'll transfer you. Although this trip was dangerous, you gained a lot, didn't you? I think the blessings on you have become even stronger."
When Ju Jingbai heard Yuan An's words, she hurriedly checked the accumulated golden light of merit. The golden light of merit not only replenished what she had consumed, but also added a thick layer.
The golden light is glittering, and all that is accumulated is the gratitude and respect of the people who were rescued.
It is not illusory, but can be seen clearly.
"It's okay, Xiaobai has much more than me." Xu Ge nodded.
"Tsk, don't be so naive." Xu Cheng slapped Xu Ge and asked, "How did you get here?"
"She was called here by Ju Jingbai. After she discovered the illusion, she must have informed me first. After all, I am her superior."
Xu Ge glanced at Ju Jingbai and then looked away.
"Then take me with you when you go back. There are no buses at night." Xu Cheng felt that if he knew about the secret realm, the first person he would definitely look for the person he trusted most to come over, but Ju Jingbai and Xu Ge did not look like acquaintances.
- Don't get too close to my brother. He's good at asking questions, and he just tried to ask me questions. People with squinty eyes are not good people.
Ju Jingbai felt his phone vibrate and saw the WeChat message from Xu Ge.
She nodded secretly to Xu Ge.
Yuan An, unaware of the feud between the two families, said naturally, "Tomorrow, the two of you should go to the police station again to complete the contents of the illusion and save it in the archives. Xiaobai, aren't you collecting ancient books to treat your fear of ghosts? It's a good time to go to the archives and take a look. There are a lot of things there."
Ju Jingbai: "..."
Xu Ge: “…”
Xu Cheng: "I never thought you would trust each other to this extent."
Xu Ge rolled his eyes: "Give me money, and I promise to trust you to another level."
Ju Jingbai nodded in agreement.
"..." Xu Cheng certainly didn't believe it. It was unforgivable to show his family's materials to Xing Yijiao without telling his family. He couldn't help but retort, "Do you think I'm stupid? Don't think I can't see how close your relationship is. Besides, if you sell your family's ancient books to others just for money, Grandpa and the others will punish you.
Or does she have any treasures worth selling ancient books for? If so, I will immediately admit that you are doing it for money.
Yuan An pulled Xu Cheng. Why did the atmosphere become so tense? I don't know anything else, but Ju Jingbai has quite a lot of treasures.
Ju Jingbai was silent. People outside did not understand the relationship between Xingyi Sect and the Xu family, but they themselves understood it. It was a relationship where the Xu family would care if they took even one more peanut from Xingyi Sect. With this analogy, reading ancient books was of course a very serious sin.
But she really didn't know why the relationship between the two sects was so bad, and she couldn't quite understand it.
Xu Ge certainly couldn't admit it, so he replied, "Yes, I've calculated that as long as I take Ju Jingbai on a mission, the amount of wealth I can gain will skyrocket."
"Don't talk about useless things. Where is the baby?" Xu Chengqi said.
"Boss, this is for you. The peach tree demon over there asked me to give this peach branch to you specifically. I beg you to help me ask the people in the police station to take good care of her boyfriend." As he was speaking, Bai Yi poked Ju Jingbai and handed him a peach wood branch as long as an adult's arm.
Ju Jingbai took it subconsciously.
Xu Ge looked at Xu Cheng and pursed his lips: "Here, baby is coming."
Xu Cheng was stunned, and the words he wanted to teach someone a lesson were immediately stuck in his mouth. He looked at the peach branch in Ju Jingbai's hand. It was not an ordinary branch. It should have been nurtured by a peach demon for many years. It was very old and full of spiritual energy. It was the best material for making a peach wood sword.
Back then, Xu Xiang spent a lot of money to buy a piece of it at an auction, and it was only the size of a baby's arm.
This is definitely a treasure that you can only come across by chance.
