Chapter 27 Heart to Heart I feel like I don’t know what’s in my heart right now…
Ying Bu Ran subconsciously touched his mask. It was impossible to say that he was not nervous at that moment.
In just a few seconds, she thought about a lot of things, such as whether she would be discovered by others, whether she would be considered an alien, and whether she would be beaten and killed.
She knew Jiang Liuyan would not do this, but her instinct made her think about the various possibilities that might follow.
This instinct is what allowed her to grow up. If she hadn't been careful, she would have died somewhere long ago.
Ying Bu Ran's mind instantly became a mess, and she subconsciously looked at Zhao Chao An for her opinion. Seeing Ying Bu Ran looking at her, Zhao Chao An recovered from her surprise and asked softly, "Do you believe her?"
"...I definitely believe it." Ying Bu Ran nodded. Although they had just met at this moment, her mother had done a lot for her and would definitely not harm her.
Zhao Chaoan exhaled, smiled, pinched her face, and said in a relaxed tone: "Then don't worry, no matter what your choice is, we will support you."
Jiang Liuyan watched the interaction between the two, but did not show any emotion on her face. She nodded in agreement with Zhao Chaoan's words: "Well, there's no need to feel pressured. Just do what you want to do."
Ying Bu Ran nodded, feeling much more relaxed, but still a little troubled. This time, the trouble was due to her memory.
To be honest, she only knows now that it is because of the incompleteness of her soul that she cannot completely walk through the gate of life and death. Although it has been completed now, it is still in an incomplete state of resurrection.
As for the cause and effect, she only had a vague idea of it and was instinctively avoiding it.
Zhao Chaoan and Jiang Liuyan both noticed her entanglement and hesitation, as well as a hint of resistance hidden under her indifferent expression. After the two exchanged a glance, Zhao Chaoan took the initiative and said, "Do you want to tell me?"
Ying Bu Ran paused for a moment and nodded. She didn't really want her mother to keep worrying about her. "Yes."
"Then do you mind if I tell you about it? I may know it in more detail than you. After all, you haven't recovered yet." Zhao Chaoan came behind Ying Bu Ran and said softly.
Ying Bu Ran lowered his head and thought for a moment. It was indeed Zhao Chaoan who knew more. "Okay, thank you for your help."
Jiang Liuyan frowned deeply as she listened to their conversation and looked at Zhao Chaoan: "Hasn't recovered yet? Did something happen before? I remember we had an agreement before."
Zhao Chaoan was so shocked by Jiang Liuyan's gaze that if she hadn't lost her physical form, she would have broken out in a cold sweat. She quickly explained, "Of course, of course. Well, let me explain what happened."
When Zhao Chaoan was telling the story, he covered Ying Bu Ran's ears and temporarily blocked Ying Bu Ran's hearing with ghost energy.
She described the whole process as briefly, accurately and completely as possible. Jiang Liuyan's brows relaxed a lot after hearing it, but the aura around her did not relax.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Liuyan changed her posture. Seeing that Zhao Chaoan was a little nervous, she tried to slow down her tone and said, "I think I roughly understand what's going on. I was a little impatient before and my attitude was not good. Please forgive me."
Zhao Chaoan breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his hand that was covering Ying Bu Ran's ears, and waved it away, saying, "Ahem, it's okay, it's okay. I understand, I understand. It would be the same for me."
Even Jiang Liuyan was considered mild-mannered. If it were her, she would probably hang that man up and interrogate him.
Ying Bu Ran heard the resurgent tone in Zhao Chao An's voice and gave her a strange look. As far as she could remember, this was the first time Zhao Chao An had been so... cautious?
Jiang Liuyan couldn't understand Ying Bu Ran's strangeness, so she simply continued thinking along the same topic. After sorting it out, she said, "So the face behind this mask is a ghost mask? No wonder he needs to wear a mask... Take this too. This bracelet can also help you conceal your aura."
She took off one of the bracelets on her hand and handed it to Ying Bu Ran.
Ying Bu Ran took it with some surprise and put it on his hand. He could feel something like a film surrounding him, and then it disappeared.
"Okay, thank you, Mom." Ying Bu Ran looked up and smiled. This thing seemed to be on the same level as her mask.
Jiang Liuyan accepted it and breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and rubbed her head. Seeing her mask, his smile faded a little: "I will also find a way to help you fully recover. There are no outsiders here now. Can you take off the mask and let me see your current condition?"
This time, Ying Bu Ran didn't hesitate. He nodded and took it off: "Okay."
Even though she was mentally prepared, Jiang Liuyan was still a little frightened the moment she saw it, and then she felt heartbroken.
She tried to reach out and touch the half of the ghost mask, but was burned the moment she touched it.
It's a ghost fire, burning in Ying Bushan's body.
Seeing Jiang Liuyan suddenly withdraw her hand, which looked a little burned, Ying Bu Ran was startled. He subconsciously held Jiang Liuyan's hand and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Liuyan shook her head and withdrew her hand after Ying Buran had finished examining her. "It's nothing, just a minor injury, something I didn't expect. How are you feeling? Are you feeling any discomfort?"
Ying Bu Ran carefully sensed it and shook his head: "No? Apart from feeling a little bit of heat here, I don't feel anything."
She was so familiar with the feeling even now that she would have forgotten what it felt like here if her mother hadn't asked.
"As long as you're okay." Jiang Liuyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ying Bu Ran didn't seem to be holding back.
Zhao Chaoan took the opportunity to improve his impression of her: "Let me take a look. The fire on Ah Ran's face must be a ghost fire. Ordinary people will be easily corroded if they come into contact with it."
Ying Bu Ran nodded in agreement: "Let's take a look. It will make us feel more at ease if we take a look and confirm it."
Jiang Liuyan wanted to say no, but when she saw Ying Buyan also wanted her to see it, she immediately compromised: "...Okay."
Zhao Chaoan held Jiang Liuyan's hand and carefully checked it under Ying Buran's worried gaze. Fortunately, the contact area was small and Jiang Liuyan's cultivation was high, so there was only a little bit of ghost energy remaining.
It's true that the way the mother and daughter responded was like they were carved from the same mold.
"It's no big deal. I have removed the evil spirit and it will be cured soon. Ah Ran, put on the mask. If you take it off for a long time, the evil spirit will leak out, which is not good for you." Zhao Chaoan said.
Although the bracelet can also prevent it, it is not as effective as the mask. At present, Ying Bushan is not very good at controlling the ghost energy, so it is better to be careful.
Ying Bu Ran was immediately watched by two people, and he put on the mask obediently. Sure enough, the ghostly aura that he could still feel disappeared instantly.
"This mask is not an ordinary item." Jiang Liuyan said. This mask should be stronger than her bracelet. Her bracelet is already a rare quasi-artifact.
Ying Bu Ran straightened his mask and nodded when he heard it: "Yes, it was given to me by the leader of Tian Yan Sect. She said it was an apology to me."
Jiang Liuyan also knew what Shen Cangwu had done, and she agreed with what he said: "So it was her, then she should pay compensation. What is her attitude now?"
She looked at Zhao Chaoan and felt that Zhao Chaoan knew more about this.
Zhao Chaoan spread his hands and said, "She killed the ancestor of Tianyan Sect, has formed an alliance with me, and suggested that I come here to take a look."
Jiang Liuyan probably had a rough idea of what Tianyan Sect was doing: "I understand. It's getting late. I'll take you to rest."
After that, Zhao Chaoan returned to his blackbird form and was held in Ying Bu Ran's arms. The room Jiang Liuyan had prepared for the man and the ghost was right next to hers, and it was also the most heavily guarded area.
After settling them down, Jiang Liuyan said she had some official business to attend to and left. Ying Bu Ran lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Zhao Chaoan jumped twice towards Ying Bu Ran and looked at her with his head tilted: "Can't you sleep?"
Ying Bu Ran nodded, then turned over and buried his head in the pillow: "One thing is that I feel like too many things have happened today, and my thoughts are a little confused."
Zhao Chaoan scratched his head, then suddenly had an idea and suggested, "How about we chat? We don't have anything to do tomorrow anyway, so we can get up whenever we want. From what your mother described, the crisis in Wind Chasing City has been almost resolved, and they can successfully overcome it whether we come or not. But our visit is not without gain, at least we have found your blood relative."
Ying Bu Ran responded dully, without much reaction: "Yeah."
Then, she turned to Zhao Chaoan and asked curiously, "By the way, do you still remember what your mother looked like?"
Zhao Chaoan tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head. "I've forgotten it a long time ago. I've been in the sect since I can remember. Later, I defected, was killed and became a ghost, and then became the Ghost King. It's been too long."
"So that's how it is." Ying Buyan nodded, then turned over again, facing upwards, looking at the roof with a dazed look, "I feel like I don't know what I'm feeling right now..."
Zhao Chaoan jumped onto her chest and lay down: "Why do you say that?"
"I feel like I should be happy after finding my mother, but I also have other emotions, but I don't know what they are." Ying Bu Ran looked up with an empty gaze, feeling as if he could grasp something, but he couldn't grasp anything.
She had never experienced such emotions before.
Zhao Chaoan racked his brains, scratched his head with his claws, and guessed, "Hmm... maybe she's not used to it. After all, it was too sudden. I can feel that she really cares about you and loves you, and you really care about her too."
"If you can't figure it out from one angle, let's try another. Do you hate her?"
Ying Bu Ran immediately shook his head: "Of course not, I'm very happy to meet her."
Zhao Chaoan jumped a few more times and moved closer to Ying Bu Ran. He said soothingly, "Look, if that's the case, isn't the answer obvious? Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just let it go."
Ying Bu Ran thought about it and felt the same way. Perhaps they had just been separated for too long. "Could it really be like this? Perhaps after a while, we can get along like normal mother and daughter?"
Zhao Chaoan nodded and said seriously and firmly, "Of course I can."
