Chapter 50: Returning to the city, I suddenly felt a soft touch on my cheek...
Mu let one hand hang down, and the other hand was on the hilt of the sword at his waist. He looked at Zhao Chaoan and raised his eyebrows.
She had just returned, and Jiang Liuyan briefly described the situation and mentioned this, the Ghost King.
I didn't expect that Zhuifeng City would actually cooperate with the Ghost King of the Ghost Realm, and have a close relationship with the long-missing little city lord.
"Mu, one of the generals of Zhuifeng City, was out on a mission before. He passed by here on his way back. I received your order and will take you back." Mu said, showing his ID card and then putting it away.
Ying Bu Ran looked at the familiar soldiers behind her. They nodded at her, indicating that what she said was true. Ying Bu Ran was relieved and saluted, saying, "Thank you, General Mu, for your trouble."
Mu nodded, his face expressionless. He turned around and looked back at them. "Let's go. Delays can lead to trouble. There are more conflicts here than I expected."
Ying Bu Ran said okay and turned to look at the person following him, but when he turned around, he found Zhao Chaoan hiding behind him.
She remembered that Zhao Chaoan was standing next to her just now. Was Zhao Chaoan afraid of General Mu?
Let's observe it again.
As they advanced, they were joined by several other teams, including Qi Yiwen and Su Yunying's. With their addition, the tension in the team gradually eased, and they even began to relax.
Ying Bu Ran was on guard and understanding the situation of other teams while observing Zhao Chaoan's condition, which confirmed his inner thoughts.
Zhao Chaoan was indeed a little afraid of Mu. Previously, when it came to other people, she either ignored them or paid them some attention but with a certain nonchalance. This was the first time she observed others from time to time.
"Are you afraid of her?" Ying Bu Ran asked in a low voice, tilting his head. Sure enough, he saw that Zhao Chaoan was about to get angry.
Zhao Chaoan snorted twice as if he had heard something incredible, but muttered in anticipation: "How could I be afraid of her?!"
Ying Bu Ran nodded and responded to her: "Yeah, I'm not afraid." He confirmed his thoughts in his heart.
Perhaps he heard their conversation, but Mu, who had been walking forward without saying anything, suddenly stopped and looked at them. "I heard you were also attacked by the ghost soldiers, right?"
Ying Bu Ran was caught off guard by her sudden question and nodded subconsciously: "Yes, a ghost king and his ghost soldiers attacked us."
"Our family is specialized in exorcising and liberating ghosts. If you encounter this kind of thing next time, you can contact me," Mu said.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but Ying Bu Ran felt that Mu seemed to be looking at Zhao Chaoan intentionally or unintentionally when he said this.
Zhao Chaoan was completely furious. This person really knew her identity! He just said that on purpose!
The next second, someone grabbed her hand. Ying Bu Ran looked at her, shook his head gently, and squeezed her hand, signaling her not to start a fight.
Mu came from a family of ghost hunters and likely had some negative feelings about ghosts. Furthermore, they were on the same front, a significant force, so a conflict was unsuitable. The other party had no intention of attacking, and her previous attitude was more like a warning, telling Zhao Chaoan not to do anything in front of her.
This person is a friend, not an enemy.
After returning, I should try to change her opinion of Zhao Chaoan. After returning, I also need to settle Qian Qiuxin and interrogate Zhao Qingxun. There are many things to do.
Just as she was thinking, someone tugged at the corner of her clothes. It was Qian Qiuxin. Qian Qiuxin looked towards the gradually approaching city gate, her eyes gleaming. "Is this the Wind Chasing City? It looks so huge!"
Ying Bu Ran nodded: "Yes, this is the Wind Chasing City. I will take you to choose a room after we go back. A lot has happened today, so get some rest."
Qianqiuxin nodded vigorously, and the previous fatigue was swept away, replaced by a yearning for a new life.
After entering the city, the crowd began to disperse and returned to their respective locations to rest and heal. Mu glanced at Ying Bu Ran and the others, and finally fixed his gaze on Zhao Qingxun. He said to Ying Bu Ran, "I will take this person away and detain her. You can go find her later when you finish your business."
"Okay, thank you for your help, General Mu." Ying Bu Ran said that she understood. Zhao Qingxun did not say anything and just followed Mu away. But before leaving, he still looked at Ying Bu Ran and Zhao Chao An beside her, and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
After everyone left, Ying Bu Ran said to Zhao Chao An, "I'll take her to choose a room. You go and rest first."
"Okay, call me if you have any problems, don't worry about it yourself." Zhao Chaoan rarely stayed clingy. She felt that Ying Buyan might say something to Qian Qiuxin, and it would be inconvenient to start the topic when she was around.
Jiang Liuyan had been briefed on the situation, so she had prepared the rooms long beforehand. To facilitate observation and support Ying Bu Ran's actions, the rooms were located around their own.
It was Qian Qiuxin's first time seeing such a large house. Every time she entered a room, she would marvel and get excited for a long time. When she learned that she could choose any room, she jumped for joy.
Finally, she chose the room closest to Ying Bu Ran, who led her to explain what the things in the room were used for.
Qian Qiuxin touched the bed, which was much softer than the one she had slept on before. She almost fell asleep on it. When she was about to touch the bed, Ying Bu Ran grabbed her by the collar and pulled her up.
A drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he almost fell down if he wasn't paying attention: "Go wash up first, you've been running around outside all day."
Forgive her for being a little bit of a germaphobe, and for not being able to accept rolling around outside and going straight to bed: "Take a bath, it can also relieve the fatigue."
Qianqiu thought so too. Taking a bath would help her rest better. However, she was a little curious. Didn't monks usually use some magic to purify themselves? "Is there any quick way?"
"Yes, if you want, I can also perform the cleansing technique on you. I think after settling down, taking a bath will make you feel more relaxed. We will use the cleansing technique directly outside." Ying Bu Ran explained.
Nodding, Qianqiuxin thought for a moment and said, "Then, can I choose to take a bath?" She wanted to try what it felt like.
"Of course, come with me and I'll show you how to do it, so you can do it yourself anytime you want to bathe later."
…
Just as Ying Bu Ran said, after the bath, Qian Qiuxin felt much more relaxed and drowsy. Seeing that she looked like she was about to fall asleep, Ying Bu Ran took back what he wanted to say and said, "Have a good rest today. Once you've rested, we'll see what happens next."
Qian Qiuxin nodded drowsily, rubbed her eyes and watched Ying Bu Ran leave: "Okay, goodbye Sister Ying."
"Is it over? Have you finished talking?" Zhao Chaoan was waiting outside bored, and his eyes lit up when he saw Ying Bu Ran coming out.
Ying Bu Ran shook his head: "No, she is still an ordinary person now. She has been running around outside for a long time and is almost asleep now. Let's wait for her to wake up. Is there anything wrong? Wait here."
"If there is nothing, can't I come to see you..." Zhao Chaoan walked over very naturally and followed Ying Bu Ran to their room.
Just when Ying Bu Ran was about to speak, Zhao Chaoan added, "But there is something."
Should not be stained:?
Okay, she should have gotten used to Zhao Chaoan being like this in front of her.
"What is it? Is it about General Mu?"
At the mention of Mu, Zhao Chaoan, who had been idle and chatty, immediately exploded: "Huh? How could I possibly talk about her boundless guy?"
Facing Ying Bu Ran's expression of obvious ridicule and insight, Zhao Chao An froze again, then calmed down on his own. He looked aside and muttered, "I'm just from a ghost-exorcist family, but I'm the Ghost King. That Shen Cangwu wanted to see you, but you were alone, acting so mysterious."
It seemed that she had “seen” something. Ying Bu Ran nodded. Just as they reached the door of the room, she said to Zhao Chao An, “Okay, then I’ll go find Sect Leader Shen. You should go and rest first. You’ve worked hard today.”
Zhao Chaoan nodded, his hand already on the door. Seeing that Ying Bu Ran hadn't left, he quickly rushed to Ying Bu Ran, as if an invisible tail was wagging behind him. "I've worked so hard, can you give me a kiss?"
Well, now that he's recovered, Ying Bu Ran chuckled, but didn't move. Zhao Chao An was just making a joke, not expecting Ying Bu Ran to respond.
She was about to turn around and go back to the house when she suddenly felt a soft touch on her cheek, which was fleeting.
Zhao Chaoan was stunned, then turned back suddenly, but Ying Bu Ran had already walked some distance away. However, Zhao Chaoan still noticed the redness on the tip of his ear.
Zhao Chaoan stood there in a daze, reached out to touch the place where he was kissed before, and laughed foolishly for a long time, and actually scared away Qi Yiwen who came to look for him.
Hehe, Ah Ran accepted her! Zhao Chaoan's heart was filled with joy, and he skipped back to the house and was happy for a long time.
On this side, Ying Bu Ran stood at the door and took a deep breath. His mood seemed to have calmed down after walking all the way, and then he knocked on the door gently.
"Come in," Shen Cangwu smiled as he watched Ying Bu Ran enter and close the door. "You're here? I'm sorry to call you right after a battle, but it's really urgent."
Ying Bu Ran sat down at the spot Shen Cang Wu indicated, raised his head, and asked, "Is it about what happened later? Did you see something?"
"Yes, I have a plan that requires your cooperation. To be more precise, you will be the main participant. It is very dangerous, but we will do our best to protect you." Shen Cangwu said, "The details are roughly as follows..."
"…The choice is yours. We have other plans to implement."
Ying Bu Ran touched her chin, frowning slightly as she pondered. She felt this plan was highly feasible. "I agree with this plan. You can rest assured. I have a way to escape from Liuyun Sect and they won't be able to catch me."
"However, you said earlier that the opportunity was Zhao Qingxun?"
Shen Cangwu nodded: "Yes, it's not the Ghost King Zhao Qingxun, but the Liuyun Sect disciple Zhao Qingxun who is now in prison."
