Chapter 62: Whether you can calm down after returning home depends on your performance...
Zhao Chaoan also remembered it. He had almost forgotten it because he had been distracted by Ying Bu Ran's matter. "Ah, it's about the Jiuyou Sect."
"Did you know that the Jiuyou Sect is researching ghost energy and the ghost world?"
The King of Hell blinked, obviously not expecting that she had been staying in the ghost world for such a long time and did not care about or pay attention to the things above. Giving her a shortcut this time was already the most extraordinary thing he had done.
Zhao Chaoan clearly knew what kind of ghost this King of Hell was. He continued to speak to himself, "They've been studying the ghost world for a long time, and they've been trying to interfere and infiltrate it. I previously infiltrated the Jiuyou Sect and discovered these things."
"Back then, the Heavenly Road was blocked using corpses and ghostly energy. Someone appeared out of nowhere and taught them how to use corpses to generate ghostly energy and a rather sinister substance. That's what they used to corrupt the Heavenly Road."
The King of Hell frowned deeply and said nothing.
"That's not the most important thing. They want to open the gate to the ghost world and cause unrest between the two realms," Zhao Chaoan continued, then spread his hands. "This is no small matter, nor is it something 'unrelated to the ghost world.' I think you know better than I do the consequences of opening the passage between the two realms."
She had already said what she wanted to say, and when she looked down, she saw that Ying Bu Ran's eyes were closed, so she decided to go back. After all, Ying Bu Ran wasn't a ghost, not to mention that there was a little human kid following him.
Go back as soon as possible.
"What do you think is their purpose in doing this?" Just as Zhao Chaoan turned around and prepared to take his people away, Yan Wang suddenly spoke.
Zhao Chaoan, holding Ying Bu Ran, paused when he heard this. He looked up and thought for a moment, "Let me think about it. It seems like it's all about... creating a new world?"
After saying that, she shrugged. "Who knows? I can't understand the mind of a madman. Let's go. But I suggest you stop hiding in this place. This is no small matter. Be vigilant."
Yan Wang didn't say anything, but nodded silently. He glanced at Zhao Chaoan who was about to reach the door, and called them again: "I'll open the door for you. After you go out, continue to investigate this matter and notify me in time."
As the King of Hell stretched out his hand, a door opened beside him. Zhao Chaoan was overjoyed when she saw the door, as this was much faster than if she had walked over with her men.
"Well, thank you so much. Let's go." Zhao Chaoan raised his head to Qian Qiuxin, signaling her to follow him quickly.
After watching them leave, Yan Wang closed the door again, sat back in his original position, took a deep breath, and fell into deep thought.
…
"Wake up, we're home, go back to sleep."
Ying Bu Ran felt someone calling her, and was gently shaken. She rubbed her eyes and found herself sitting in a carriage, with only the two of them in the carriage.
The new arm was still a little weak, so Zhao Chaoan held it in his hand and massaged it to help her regain consciousness and adapt.
Ying Bu Ran lifted the curtain with her good hand. Someone on the street greeted her happily after seeing her. Ying Bu Ran waved back. Then she looked at Zhao Chao An, who was silent again, and asked cautiously, "Um, are you still angry?"
Zhao Chaoan glared at her, then sighed helplessly and flicked her forehead: "What do you think! Have you forgotten what I said before?"
Ying Bu Ran leaned back to avoid another possible blow to the forehead. It hurt a little, and he rubbed his forehead: "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten. By the way, where's Qian Qiuxin?"
"Yun Xiangwan took her away to rest. Do you have anything to do with her?"
Ying Bu Ran moved back a little, sat up against the wall of the carriage, and shook his head: "No, there are some things that are not convenient for her to know now. You know that your current body is a puppet, right?"
Zhao Chaoan nodded, vaguely guessing what Ying Bu Ran wanted to say: "You mean, her body is also a puppet?"
"Yes, I found it in Qin Li's room. Qian Qiuxin's puppet body was made by the Yun family. It might have even incorporated a bit of the power of the Heavenly Spirit. It's even more perfect than your current one, almost indistinguishable from a human body," Ying Bu Ran said. "But after that, the Yun family was wiped out. Now only Yun Xiangwan, who left home that year, remains, but they don't know."
As he spoke, Ying Bu Ran still felt a little weak, so he leaned on Zhao Chaoan again and sighed softly.
She hadn't figured out how to tell Qian Qiuxin yet. Should she just say, "You're not a human being?" That would be too hurtful.
Let’s not talk about it for now, but what should we do if someone from Liuyun Sect interferes and tells Qianqiuxin in the future?
Zhao Chaoan narrowed his eyes slightly, having not expected this to happen. Then the Sky Spirit Mirror flashed, revealing news from Yun Xiangwan, which came as soon as it was said.
She looked at the message without avoiding Ying Bu Ran, so Ying Bu Ran easily saw the content and his eyes fixed.
She grabbed Zhao Chaoan's arm. Because she was a little anxious, she couldn't adjust her breath for a while and coughed twice: "Ahem, let's go and take a look! There's no rush to go back."
"Okay, okay! Don't worry, we'll be there right away." Zhao Chaoan put away the Tianling Mirror, patted Ying Bu Ran's back to help her calm down, said something to the woman driving in front, and turned to go to the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, Jiang Liuyan had bandaged her wound and was handling official business. Yun Xiangwan and Mu Du were accompanying her. They were not surprised to see Ying Bu Ran coming, but they felt nervous when they sensed that her breath was weaker than before.
"What's going on?" Jiang Liuyan immediately stepped forward, supported Ying Bu Ran and asked with concern.
Ying Bu Ran suppressed his cough, tried to breathe more slowly, and then said briefly, "There was an accident. I destroyed the center of the formation and fell into the ghost world with Qian Qiuxin. I was injured."
"It's true that he was injured. There was a little accident." Zhao Chaoan stood behind her and began to speak sarcastically, "It's just that his arm was broken, right?"
The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point. Ying Bu Ran shrank back involuntarily as he was stared at by four people.
Finally, it was Mu who broke the silence, sneering, "As expected of a mother and daughter, they are exactly the same in this regard."
She was referring to Jiang Liuyan's injuries. They were surprisingly unanimous in their determination to achieve their goals at the cost of their lives.
Jiang Liuyan felt a bit awkward after hearing this. Under Ying Bu Ran's gaze, she quietly explained, "You know, it was an unexpected situation. We just happened to see the magic circle, and the time for the Heavenly Sacrifice is approaching. Destroying the magic circle will greatly slow them down, allowing us to make more preparations."
Ying Bu Ran nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's what I thought."
Zhao Chaoan was too lazy to argue with the mother and daughter about this matter. He grabbed Ying Bu Ran by the back of her collar and asked Jiang Liuyan, "How is your injury? Her arm was repaired by the King of Hell, so now she just needs to recuperate for a while. We probably won't be out until the opportunity arises."
Not coming out? Ying Bu Ran blinked, his brain stopped working for a moment. What's the point of not coming out?
"It's okay, it just looks serious. It will be fine after a while." Jiang Liuyan rubbed Ying Bu Ran's head and checked it anxiously. There was indeed no major problem. "You should also have a good rest. Leave the matter of Tian Nu to Tian Yan Sect and Wan Xiang Sect."
"Wait a minute, I have something else to do!" Seeing that he was about to be dragged away, Ying Bu Ran quickly called for a stop.
After seeing several people looking over, Ying Bu Ran described in detail his discoveries in the forbidden area, and also said that he had destroyed two array centers and delayed the action over there.
But she didn't say that one of the centers of the formation was her corpse.
In addition, there is also the matter of the Yun family.
Yun Xiangwan raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, but she didn't seem sad at all. "I've warned them before, but unfortunately no one listened to me."
"It's your own fault."
"Won't you be sad? After all, we are still family." Mu was a little curious. He didn't expect Yun Xiangwan to be so heartless.
"When they pointed their swords at me, we were no longer a family." Yun Xiangwan lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking of something bad, and felt a little depressed.
This is their business, and Ying Bu Ran has nothing to say. Apart from this matter, there is also Qian Qiuxin's business.
The three of them had slightly different opinions after hearing this. Yun Xiangwan said that she would tell Qian Qiuxin about this at the right time.
Yun Xiangwan patted Ying Bu Ran's shoulder: "Don't worry, she is stronger than you expected. And she is not the only one in the puppet body, right?" She was referring to Zhao Chaoan.
Zhao Chaoan snorted lightly and said nothing.
"But we need to pay attention to who holds the control and what she will do. Leave this matter to me."
"Well, there's one more thing." Ying Bu Ran said, "One last thing."
Yun Xiangwan blinked and chuckled, "I didn't expect you to gain so much from this trip."
Ying Bu Ran scratched his head, withdrew a smile, and then said seriously: "I saw another mother... in the ghost world."
Jiang Liuyan's eyes widened instantly, and she opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
"She's fine now," Ying Bu Ran added, then didn't know what else to say. After a while, someone rubbed his head, and when he looked up, he met Jiang Liuyan's gentle eyes.
Jiang Liuyan took a deep breath, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but her mood was not very high: "Well, she is fine now, that's good."
…
Ying Bu Ran slept through the next few days. Although she didn't say it, her body was clearly exhausted. While her consciousness was falling into deep sleep, her body was constantly absorbing spiritual energy to recover. Zhao Chaoan stayed by her side, transmitting some ghost energy to her to help her recover.
After waking up, she was faced with another life of disability. Zhao Chaoan seemed particularly nervous after this incident. No matter what she did, Zhao Chaoan had to follow her. Even when she wanted to drink water, the cup was taken away before her hand even touched it, and then she was given water.
Originally, Ying Bu Ran wanted to resist and say that she was just a little weak but not disabled, but when she saw Zhao Chaoan's expression, she held her words back. She was still angry.
After poking Zhao Chaoan, Ying Bu Ran asked softly after she looked over, "Are you still angry? How can you calm down?"
Zhao Chaoan put on a fake smile and took her still-adjusting hand. He observed her condition and rubbed the back of her hand with an ambiguous tone: "Remember what I said before? When you get better, I'm going to punish you. Whether you can calm down depends on your performance then."
