"Dreams often reflect our innermost thoughts. Could it be that you dreamed of your brother Jinnian's past life?"
"Previous life? Did Song Jinnian also experience reincarnation?"
When Su Han heard this, the confusion in his eyes was clearly visible.
"I don't know the details, this is just my guess."
Chu Lingxiao shook his head. He was not sure whether his guess was correct. With a rigorous attitude, he added another sentence.
Su Han nodded with a sense of loss. "I want to figure out what this dream means. After waking up, I always feel like I have lost something important."
Chu Lingxiao patted Su Han on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Maybe Brother Jinnian knows something. We can ask him when he comes back."
Su Han nodded slightly, but felt a little uneasy.
He can be indifferent and not care about his past life.
Why is there something that might be Song Jinnian's "previous life" now? I want to find out what's going on so badly...
This is so weird...
Before he lost consciousness and fell asleep, he vaguely felt an inexplicable dampness on his face. If it wasn't an illusion, it could only be Song Jinnian's doing...
What does Song Jinnian's action mean?
Su Han unconsciously tightened his grip on the sword in his hand, the uneasiness in his heart about to overflow.
Just then, he heard a rustling sound not far away. It was someone dragging a heavy object.
Chu Lingxiao obviously heard it as well, and subconsciously looked at Su Han. Just as he was about to go and investigate, he was stopped by Su Han.
"It's Song Jinnian who's back."
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Chu Lingxiao always felt that when Su Han said this, his tone unconsciously softened.
"Su Han, how did you make that judgment?" Chu Lingxiao asked doubtfully.
"Footsteps."
After Su Han finished answering, he stopped talking and stared straight at the door.
Sure enough, Su Han's guess was correct, it was indeed Song Jinnian who returned.
Not only that, Song Jinnian was also dragging a...monster with his hands?
In fact, Chu Lingxiao couldn't tell what Song Jinnian was dragging, but since it was in the demon world, it was most likely an unknown demon beast.
Song Jinnian casually threw the monster aside and clapped his hands, as if to brush off the non-existent dust on his hands.
Then in the blink of an eye, he came to Su Han and tried to lean on him as if he had no bones.
"Brother Su Han, I'm so tired. Can you lean on me for a moment, just for a moment?"
In order to achieve his goal, he acted like a spoiled child.
Su Han said nothing, just glanced at him, but just this one glance made Song Jinnian feel inexplicably guilty.
"Lean on it if you want."
Su Han stopped looking at him, but just moved a little closer, with some awkwardness in his words.
Song Jinnian couldn't believe her ears. After hearing his permission, she not only leaned forward, but also went a step further and half-hugged him.
Chu Lingxiao did not pay attention to the secret actions between Song Jinnian and Su Han, but focused his attention on the unconscious monster.
The demon beast was half human, half demon. Its hair was dirty and lifeless, like dry firewood. Its face was scratched and disfigured, and there was residual demonic energy around it. It must have been knocked unconscious by Jinnian's younger brother...
Chu Lingxiao first carefully explored the monster. After learning that it was only in the middle stage of foundation building, he tentatively moved closer and half-knelt to take a curious look.
"Brother Jinnian, what's going on with this monster?"
"Brother Jinnian?"
Song Jinnian was still immersed in the warmth in his arms. After being asked twice by Chu Lingxiao, she finally reacted and left reluctantly.
"This is one of the former chief courtesans. Brother Qingze asked me to get some clues from her."
"But...this sister really hates me being around her, so I had no choice but to knock her out and bring her home to cultivate our relationship."
Song Jinnian spread his hands, looking helpless.
"Her original place was near a busy city, with many demons and gossips. To be honest, I put in a lot of effort to bring her back quietly."
"Thank you for your hard work, brother Jinnian."
Chu Lingxiao smiled and said seriously.
"But... why did Qingze ask Brother Jinnian to investigate this former chief courtesan alone? Is there something different about this former chief courtesan?"
When Song Jinnian heard his question, he was stunned at first, but then he realized that he had not told Brother Ling Xiao the complete truth before, and it was half true and half false, so it was normal for Brother Ling Xiao to raise this question.
After all, there was an information asymmetry between him and Brother Ling Xiao, and he was much behind, although this was also caused by him.
He stuck out his tongue guiltily and began to explain.
"She's not that special. Of all the former top courtesans, she's the only one I could find alive."
"She's the only one? But didn't Brother Jinnian tell me last time that some of them were "crazy"? I thought you found a lot of them."
Facing Chu Lingxiao's questioning, Song Jinnian remained calm and showed no embarrassment after having his flaws discovered. He slightly raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
"Actually...I concealed some things before and even told some lies..."
After hearing this, Chu Lingxiao's face became a little gloomy. Seeing him like this, Song Jinnian hurriedly explained.
"However, I didn't promise that what I told Brother Ling Xiao was completely true, so it doesn't count as lying to you."
