When Song Jinnian returned home, the moment he stepped through the door, he saw Chu Lingxiao waiting for news in the living room.
"Brother Jinnian, how is it? Did everything go smoothly this time?"
Chu Lingxiao quickly turned his gaze towards him, his eyes filled with deep worry and concern.
"It went smoothly, but there was a completely unexpected variable during the process."
Song Jinnian bit her lower lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke slowly.
"Unexpected variables?" Chu Lingxiao couldn't help but frown slightly. "I wonder if Brother Jinnian could explain it to me in detail?"
"...When Brother Qingze and I went to the brothel, we unexpectedly ran into the brothel's owner, Yi Chen."
Looking at Chu Lingxiao's puzzled expression, Song Jinnian explained very seriously.
"Brother Ling Xiao might not know much about this. In fact, the owner of this brothel has been away the entire time, claiming to be traveling around the world. The person who usually handles revenue and other matters is his sister, Ji Lan."
"So...Brother Jinnian thinks...?"
"I feel like there must be something fishy going on. Although there's a chance Yi Chen Yunyou has returned, my intuition is still warning me of something."
Song Jinnian continued.
"Perhaps there's something extremely important going on in the brothel that requires his personal attention. But considering the recent change in the chief courtesan, and the fact that she wasn't chosen from among the other courtesans in the brothel... the new chief courtesan is incredibly mysterious, and almost no demons know her identity."
"I always feel that there are many strange things in this. Maybe Brother Qingze can really find some unexpected gains from this."
Chu Lingxiao actually didn’t care about any clues. The only thing he cared about was that his Qingze could be safe and sound.
It’s just that his Qingze cares about the clue of the “Three Lives Flower” and the reward that Fairy Bingling will give after obtaining the “Three Lives Flower”, so he accompanies Qingze to look for it.
Now that he knows something big might happen....although it means there is a greater possibility of collecting more clues, it also means there will be more danger, and he doesn't want Qingze to face more danger.
He couldn't help but think of the clues and map given by Fairy Bingling, and couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
Along the way, they all trusted this map too much. Chu Lingxiao believed that Fairy Bingling was determined to obtain the "Three Lives Flower" to resurrect the important people around her, so Fairy Bingling must not use this to harm them.
But who gave these clues and this map to Fairy Bingling?
Why does "that person" know that there might be clues about the "San Sheng Hua" in these places?
And after “that person” knew about it, why didn’t he go and get it himself?
Chu Lingxiao really couldn't understand. He always felt as if something was pushing them forward step by step... but he couldn't tell what it was exactly.
Song Jinnian, who was standing by, noticed his depressed mood and gently held his hand.
Chu Lingxiao was slightly startled by his action, but did not struggle to break free. Instead, he wanted to see what he was going to do.
Song Jinnian held it tighter, "Do you feel it, Brother Lingxiao?"
"What did you feel?" Chu Lingxiao looked confused.
"I'm passing my energy to you so that Brother Ling Xiao won't worry anymore."
"?" Chu Lingxiao was even more confused.
"I know Brother Lingxiao is worried about Brother Qingze. Don't worry, Brother Lingxiao, I have already prayed for Brother Qingze."
"Now I am passing the energy of prayer to Brother Ling Xiao, so Brother Ling Xiao can be considered to have prayed."
Seeing that he didn't understand, Song Jinnian tried to explain it carefully.
Chu Lingxiao only half understood what he heard, but he could tell that Song Jinnian was comforting him, and his heart couldn't help but warm. He stopped asking questions and nodded.
"Thank you, brother Jinnian."
