Chapter 30 reunion into Chapter V, three in one.
It was late at night and the whole city was plunged into silence, but it did not bring peace to the city. The vague sight was still there.
"You seem to be very alert now?" Qiao Yu said casually.
Jiang Liuyan continued to lead the way, making no attempt to stop to look at her. She said calmly, "After all, this is a special period. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."
In her words, she did not deny her intention to send people to keep an eye on the two of them.
Zhao Qingxun knew the reputation of Liuyun Sect in Zhuifeng City, and was surprised that they were allowed in.
You should know that the man next to the city lord was once imprisoned in the dungeon for quite a long time.
That was not a good experience.
"We are sorry for disturbing you." Zhao Qingxun said apologetically. He glanced at Yun Xiangwan secretly and found that she was looking at her with a smile on her face, then avoided his gaze.
There is a feeling that one's inner thoughts are seen clearly, and it was the same before.
Yun Xiangwan smiled as she watched Zhao Qingxun turn around. She felt that she seemed to have changed a lot, yet nothing had changed.
She didn't know what would happen if the two of them met, but she didn't say it.
If she is Ying Bu Ran... I will have to cheat her out of something.
Jiang Liuyan glanced at Yun Xiangwan and shook her head. Then she stopped and looked at the two of them. "Is this the place for now?"
Zhao Qingxun looked towards the room and observed his surroundings calmly. He could sense the hidden sights behind the closed doors and windows.
"Of course, thank you for your help." Zhao Qingxun bowed and thanked him.
Jiang Liuyan nodded: "Then we will leave first. We will notify you two when needed." She said, glanced at Yun Xiangwan, and the two of them left directly.
Zhao Qingxun entered the room only after the two had left. In the moment before closing the door, she saw a black bird standing on the roof of the building opposite. Although it was difficult to spot under the cover of darkness, she still located the bird at a glance.
For some reason, she felt that the bird was very hostile towards her.
A sleepless night
The next day, Qiao Yu, who was bored, noticed Zhao Qingxun coming out of her room and heading straight for the door. She called out to her, "Senior Sister Zhao, do you have any plans for today?"
Zhao Qingxun glanced at her and then looked ahead again, saying lightly: "No, just wander around. You can move freely too. Don't follow me."
"How heartless, Senior Sister Zhao." Qiao Yu pretended to be hurt and covered her chest. However, Zhao Qingxun didn't even look at her. He walked straight past her and pouted, "Okay, okay, I'll just go for a stroll."
Ignoring Qiao Yu, Zhao Qingxun felt the world brighten up a bit. There were more people on the streets. Was the situation improving?
Wind Chasing City's ability to respond to and resolve crises was even stronger than she had expected.
It’s great that there are still places like this in today’s world.
I don’t know if it’s because they don’t believe in heaven, but the atmosphere here is very different from those towns before. Is it because they are not affiliated with a sect and therefore more unconstrained?
Compared with other towns, they seem to have more vitality, yearning for the future and enthusiasm for hard work.
She longs for this kind of life.
"Newcomer? Are there newcomers entering the city now?" A strange voice, harmless yet a little doubtful, sounded behind him. Zhao Qingxun came to his senses and turned around to see that it was a strange woman.
The woman looked at her carefully, and was a little wary because her dress was obviously different from those around her, but she could not sense any malice from her.
I guess he was running for his life just like the doctor.
Zhao Qingxun looked around and finally pointed at himself: "Me?"
The woman nodded. Seeing that she didn't seem to understand the current situation in the city, she reminded her, "Well, try not to go out as much as possible recently. If you need anything, just ring the bell and a soldier will come to help you."
Zhao Qingxun then noticed that every household had a bell outside the window, with a string extending into the house. "Ring the bell? No extra charge?"
"No, according to the city lord, this is one of their obligations. They maintain the city's stability and public security, and we maintain the city's resource turnover." The woman explained, waving goodbye to Zhao Qingxun. "I'm leaving. I hope you can start a new life here."
Zhao Qingxun subconsciously waved in response, and after a moment of silence, he softly said, "...Thank you."
She stood there for a long time until the ring suddenly emitted a faint light, with a slight attraction, guiding her to look in another direction.
She seemed to see a figure flash by, and only in that moment, she could still see the person clearly.
It should not be stained.
Zhao Qingxun was stunned for a moment, then chased after him.
Earlier today.
Zhao Chaoan flitted around the room, waiting for Ying Bu Ran to put down her book before stopping and asking, "Where are we going today?"
Ying Bu Ran put away the complete copy of Senluo Jue that Yun Xiangwan had copied for her and thought for a moment: "Mother didn't say if there was anything she needed our help with, so we should probably look around. I plan to go to the medical center to see if there's anything I can do to help."
"Okay, let's go. It just so happens that both of us are not afraid of the plague, so we don't have to worry about affecting them when we go there." Zhao Chaoan landed on Ying Bu Ran's shoulder, waving one wing forward. He looked a little excited, but still a little nervous inside.
I hope I don’t meet that person, Zhao Chaoan said to himself.
Ying Bu Ran didn't notice. He was thinking about other things and had no intention of going there immediately. "Well, I'll go tell my mother."
It is said that sharing things with family members can enhance relationships. She doesn't know what to share, but this incident can serve as a starting point.
Besides, after telling my mother, she should feel more at ease, or she might be able to give me some clues about the current situation over there.
"Go to a medical center? Sure. Do you really not need any protective equipment?" Jiang Liuyan handed a bag of desserts to Ying Bu Ran and asked with some concern.
Ying Bu Ran took the dessert and could already smell its fragrance before he even opened it. He felt a little excited and assured Jiang Liu Yan, "No need. The plague can't resist the ghost energy."
Jiang Liuyan glanced at Zhao Chaoan again, and Zhao Chaoan nodded. She felt relieved and said, "Okay, be careful."
"By the way, two people from Liuyun Sect came to the city. If you don't want to bother with them, you can just walk around and ignore them. One of them looks exactly like her human form." Jiang Liuyan reminded again.
Zhao Chaoan was furious when he heard this. He jumped down and flapped his wings in anger, screaming: "Huh? That girl dares to appear in front of us? I'd better not let her run into me!"
Ying Bu Ran reached out and took the little black bird down, smoothing its feathers to soothe it. He said to Jiang Liu Yan, "I understand. We'll leave first then."
She was a little afraid of meeting old friends, but fortunately she did not run into them and arrived at the medical center safely.
"Hello?" Ying Buyan stuck his head out and saw two people sitting in the corner eating from their bowls. One of them was Su Yunying.
Seeing her, Su Yunying subconsciously raised her hand and waved at her: "Hey! Fellow Daoist Ying! Would you like a bite?"
Ying Bu Ran came to the two of them, holding Zhao Chao An, and waved away the meat Su Yun Ying offered: "No, no, is everything here almost settled now?"
There were only a few pieces of meat in Su Yunying's bowl, and she couldn't eat now.
Qu Lingyou, squatting next to Su Yunying, uttered a sigh of relief. He had dark circles under his eyes and looked listless. "Probably. Anyway, those medical practitioners are fine now. We can't just leave them idle. I haven't rested for several days. Anyway, I'm quitting."
If she does it again, she will die suddenly.
After she finished speaking, she noticed Ying Bu Ran. They had only met once before, and since she was wearing only half a mask, she didn't recognize her for a moment.
"Hey, long time no see, you're still alive?" She waved weakly and continued to eat.
Ying Bu Ran was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to meet another acquaintance. He felt a little uneasy. "Hmm? Hmm. Is there anything I can help with?"
Fortunately, Qu Lingyou didn't notice her mood swings. After pondering for a moment, his slow brain decisively gave up: "Let me think... Yes, there is, but not now. Sit down for a while, wait for me to finish my meal."
With nothing else to do, Ying Bu Ran simply held Zhao Chao An and squatted beside him, waiting for Qu Lingyou to finish eating.
The atmosphere in the medical center is not so depressing now. It seems that the situation is not as critical as expected.
After finishing his meal, Qu Lingyou narrowed his eyes for a moment before saying, "Those showing symptoms are now receiving treatment, but the problem is that there are still many potential infected people, and we don't know who is infected."
Su Yunying continued Qu Lingyou's words, "We can't just leave it alone or wait until the disease breaks out. It's not practical to examine everyone one by one, so we need a way to examine or treat many people at once."
Ying Bu Ran touched his chin. It was indeed a question: "Do you have any idea now?"
"Well, we plan to make it rain and mix the medicine in the rain." Qu Lingyou said. She and the young man from Wanxiang Sect have been studying this matter for the past few days, and fortunately, there have been some breakthroughs.
Seeing their calm and even somewhat dejected expressions, Zhao Chaoan guessed, "The medicine hasn't been made yet?"
At this point, Qu Lingyou scratched his head in annoyance and tutted, "I'm still short of one herb, but I'm out of stock, so I need to go out and gather some. Here's the list, there are one or two that might be useful."
Ying Bu Ran took the pharmacy and looked at it in amazement: "There are so many... do I have to find the formulas one by one?"
Qu Lingyou was already used to it. "Yeah, that's how drug testing works. I'll be leaving after I've recovered a bit. You guys can go shopping and enjoy the last of your free time first?"
Su Yunying was stunned: "Huh?"
Qu Lingyou smacked her on the forehead and said unhappily, "Help me test the medicine later! I can't be the only one, right? Or are you counting on those little losers who can be knocked down in the blink of an eye? I'd be thankful if they didn't try to poison themselves."
Su Yunying covered her head and responded weakly: "Ah..."
It hurts so much.
.
Later, the two of them were directly kicked out because they were disturbing Qu Lingyou's sleep.
The two people stood on the street looking at each other blankly, while Zhao Chaoan stood on Ying Bu Ran's shoulder and yawned, looking leisurely as if it had nothing to do with her.
Su Yunying scratched his head, looking at the gradually increasing number of people on the street, feeling a little bewildered: "Where to go next?"
"I don't know... I have nothing to do, how about just strolling around?" Ying Bu Ran looked around. It felt too boring to just wait, so walking around could more or less kill the time.
Su Yunying agreed without giving it much thought: "It just so happens that the ban seems to have been lifted now, so walking on the street won't attract too much attention."
Now people have slowly started to move around on the streets, either transporting supplies or setting up stalls to sell goods. Although the number is small, it has brought some vitality to the city.
Although they had just experienced the plague - Jiang Liuyan had already announced the results and said that there were medicines available for treatment. If anyone felt unwell, they could just go to a medical center or ring the bell. No one walking on the street sighed, and one could even hear some people discussing their future lives.
Su Yunying looked at this scene with some emotion: "The city here feels very different from ours. Everyone has their own responsibilities, but there are no rigid constraints. Instead, there is a sense of freedom."
Ying Bu Ran glanced at the stalls one after another. Upon hearing this, he turned to look at Su Yunying, somewhat curious as to why she was so emotional. "Why do you say that?"
Su Yunying sighed and spread her hands, explaining, "You've probably never seen what cities that rely on sects look like, have you? While the sect's protection provides a lot of safety, and they'll also provide assistance if they encounter the Skywrath Sect, the burden on them is heavy, requiring them to provide a significant amount of resources to the sect. The specific amount depends on the sect's regulations."
As she spoke, she looked up at the sky. It was clearing up here, but in the distance, it was still shrouded in dark clouds. Just like life here and there, where it's clearing up here, there's still a struggle. "Some are light, some are heavy. How does a city acquire so many resources? Naturally, it takes them from the people within. Under such heavy pressure, the city's exploitation of everyone has reached its limit, and naturally, the people within it can't be very lively."
The sect's help to the city depends on the resources provided. In order to get better protection, some cities exploit their residents to death. The whole city exudes the breath of the living dying, as if there is no future.
Ying Bu Ran was silent for a moment after hearing this, then asked in confusion, "Then have the people in these cities ever thought about leaving?"
"They're afraid of being visited by the Wrath of Heaven, especially now that it's coming faster and faster. But the truth is, even if they leave, the Wrath of Heaven doesn't necessarily come after them. Everything is unknown. It all depends on whether you want to take the gamble."
Those who had the courage or were not afraid would have run away long ago, either to live in small villages not covered by the sect, or to come to Zhuifeng City.
Those who don't have the courage can only continue to suffer.
Ying Bu Ran looked at the people coming and going. Some of them wore clothes different from others. They were a little lost walking on the street, but found their way home with the guidance of other residents. "So they are avoiding the wrath of heaven... What about you? Are you chasing the wrath of heaven?" She looked at Su Yunying again. This was the first person she met who was facing the wrath of heaven.
Su Yunying nodded. "Well, everyone has to pursue something in life. Some people are devoted to the Dao, while others pursue wealth and status. I practice Taoism to resolve the wrath of heaven."
Ying Bu Ran raised an eyebrow, still a little curious: "Why do you want to solve it?"
"I don't believe in destiny. I only believe in my own life." Su Yunying paused, her voice lowering. "My mothers died because of the wrath of heaven. I sought help from the disciples and elders of the sect who were in charge of our city at the time, but no one was willing to lend a hand. They all said it was destiny and no one could stop it."
Zhao Chaoan tilted his head and looked at Su Yunying. After a moment of silence, he said, "But you don't believe it, and it's a good thing you don't believe it. At least your own future will be completely in your own hands."
"Well, yes, at least I've kept my promise to the mothers." Su Yunying smiled. After so much time, she'd already let it go. She would live on with the mothers' love.
Ying Bu Ran hesitated for a moment, then patted Su Yun Ying's shoulder and said, "Well, congratulations."
"Hehe, I hope we can all have a bright future! I think we can do it!" Su Yunying was not shy and put her arm around Ying Bu Ran's shoulders and said with a smile.
Ying Bu Ran froze for a moment, but soon relaxed and smiled faintly.
After that, the topics of conversation became more relaxed, such as seeing something new and interesting, or talking about some interesting things that happened in the past.
As more and more people came, some of them recognized Ying Bu Ran and greeted her: "Greetings, Little City Lord."
"Good morning, young city lord!"
After a brief moment of confusion, Ying Bu Ran understood what was going on and greeted them with a smile, "Hello, good morning."
Su Yunying followed the people who greeted Ying Bu Ran, then moved closer to him and whispered, "Why are they calling you Little City Lord? Are you the City Lord's daughter?"
Ying Bu Ran nodded. He didn't expect that someone would know about it after just one night. "Well, I thought not many people knew about it."
Zhao Chaoan tilted his head to the left, then to the right, and was very happy about this: "It seems that our mother is very anxious. It's only been one night, and it seems that it's already very late when we get here."
Su Yunying was stunned again: "Yeah?"
Our mom? When did they have this kind of relationship?
Ying Bu Ran coughed twice and changed the subject to prevent Su Yun Ying from thinking too much about their relationship, which hadn't even started yet. "Ahem, we were forced to separate when I was very young. She's been looking for me all these years, and now she's found me and we've recognized each other."
Su Yunying let out a long "oh" and applauded Ying Buran from the bottom of her heart: "I see, that's how it is. Congratulations."
"By the way, I'm curious about one thing." Ying Bu Ran suddenly remembered something.
Su Yunying's hands, which were clapping, paused in mid-air: "What do you say?"
Ying Bu Ran glanced around before lowering his voice and asking, "Are there many people in your sect who are fighting against the Wrath of Heaven like you?"
"There are many people doing research on Sky Wrath, but I seem to be the only one who has been chasing it... I don't know why." Su Yunying thought seriously for a while and shrugged.
In her view, healing the "punishment" bestowed by Skywrath and then pursuing it was a natural progression. Only by pursuing Skywrath and understanding it could it be resolved at its root.
Zhao Chaoan had some thoughts on this: "It's one thing for someone to seek help and receive treatment, but it's another to chase after the wrath of the sky like you did. To put it another way, you're challenging the spirit of the sky."
In the beginning, the world of immortal cultivation still worshipped those two ancestors and believed in their ideas, that destiny is in one's own hands. After all, the current path of the human race was the result of their hard work and disbelief in fate.
However, under the deliberate guidance of the sects that followed, more and more people gradually believed in the Spirit of Heaven, the influence of Heaven's Wrath gradually expanded, and the idea that destiny was irreversible became deeply rooted.
Su Yunying didn't think too much about it. She was simply unwilling to accept it. Why would she fight with her mothers? She claimed that she had never done anything wrong, but was given the so-called punishment and lost her life? "Is that so? I haven't thought about it."
Zhao Chaoan looked at her and suddenly asked, "Do you believe in Him?"
Su Yunying shook her head and denied it without hesitation: "I don't believe it. 'Him' is too arbitrary. There is absolutely no logic in sending down the wrath of heaven. It is simply to take away lives. I don't believe in such a heaven."
“People who appear in this city basically don’t believe in God.”
Someone heard their conversation, nodded in agreement, and then passed by them to go about their work.
"Is that so..." Ying Bu Ran nodded, and had a better understanding of this city in his heart.
It’s no wonder that they gather together here and are full of expectations for the future.
Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything, Su Yunying walked around to the front of them, looked left and right: "You won't believe it? Believe me, this is not a good thing."
"I don't believe in heaven, I will kill heaven." Ying Bu Ran said seriously and firmly.
It seemed that because the previous topic was a bit heavy, they were silent for a while before continuing to chat.
As she walked, she heard hurried footsteps behind her. At first, Ying Bu Ran didn't take it seriously, until someone pulled at the corner of her clothes.
"Aran!"
Ying Bu Ran was stunned. He was about to look behind him, but his gaze immediately shifted to Zhao Chaoan on his shoulder. It was her voice just now.
No, the voice came from behind her. Zhao Chaoan was also looking behind her, with the hair on his body standing on end.
"Let go, let go, let go! Is this the name you can call out? Let go of your hands!" Zhao Chaoan flew up directly and hovered over the hand that was holding the corner of Ying Bu Ran's clothes, muttering wildly and furiously.
Zhao Qingxun seemed not to feel any pain, his mind and eyes filled with only the person in front of him: "A Ran, I..."
She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say next. All her words disappeared at this moment, replaced by the urge to sob.
Ying Bu Ran turned around and saw the person who looked like Zhao Chaoan was confused and could not react for a while.
The two look and voice are exactly the same, the difference is their temperament and clothing.
Zhao Chaoan likes to wear black or bright red clothes, but the person in front of him is dressed in green. His temperament is also rather cold, and there is a sense of depression under the coldness.
"You guys?" Ying Bu Ran looked at Zhao Chaoan who was still nagging, then looked at the man to the right, and fell into confusion.
Su Yunying recognized who it was. No one of her generation didn't know Zhao Qingxun, and Cheng Banxia often complained to her about this senior sister.
She wanted to say hello, but when she noticed the strange atmosphere between the two people and the bird, she chose to keep quiet and moved to the side.
Hearing Ying Bu Ran's words, Zhao Chao An immediately screamed, "I'm not like her! She's the one who betrayed you, and I will never betray you!"
Zhao Qingxun saw Ying Bu Ran lost in thought as he wore a mask covering half of his face. She knew Ying Bu Ran and he would not cover only half of his face for no reason. Something must have happened.
Hearing the sharp cry of the black bird, she came back to her senses, lowered her brows and whispered, "I... I'm sorry. I know it's late, but I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I was too self-righteous."
Ying Bu Ran didn't quite understand what she was apologizing for. Seeing Zhao Chaoan winking at her frantically, and recalling the past he had described before, she probably guessed something.
Because of their entanglement here, some people around them began to gather to see what was going on. Seeing that more and more people were gathered, Ying Bu Ran suggested: "...There are too many people here, let's go somewhere else."
Hearing this, Su Yunying moved further away and almost ran out: "Oh, I won't go over there. I'll go see how things are going over there, senior." After saying that, she ran away.
Seeing her slip away so quickly, Ying Bu Ran was a little unsure what happened, but since she left on her own initiative, there should be no problem, so he asked Jiang Liuyan on the Tianling Mirror if there was any place suitable for conversation.
Finally, a soldier took them to the third floor of a teahouse and considerately closed the door for them.
After sitting down, Ying Bu Ran finally spoke: "Why are you... Forget it, are you a disciple of the Liuyun Sect?"
I almost forgot that Zhao Chaoan and Zhao Qingxun are the same person.
Liuyun Sect seemed to be one of the sects that caused her death.
Zhao Qingxun was originally observing the mask, which seemed to be covering up a lot of things. Hearing this, he couldn't believe it and said with a sense of loss: "A Ran, you don't remember?"
Ying Bu Ran shook his head, much calmer than Zhao Qingxun: "I'm sorry, I have lost a lot of memory now, and I really don't have any impression of you."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chaoan immediately flapped his wings to chase the person away: "Did you hear that?! If you have any sense, get out of here!"
Zhao Qingxun finally took a look at the bird. It was this bird that was staring at her last night. She didn't expect it was Ying Bushan.
And this bird is very hostile to her. Is it because of what happened in the past?
"Who is she?" Zhao Qingxun pointed at the bird biting her finger and looked at Ying Bu Ran for help.
Ying Bu Ran was frantically thinking about how to introduce Zhao Chao An, but he couldn't think of anything and could only bite the bullet and say, "She..."
"What's it to you? If you have nothing to do, just leave! We have something else to do!" Zhao Chaoan chattered, and only calmed down when Ying Bu Ran stroked his fur.
Zhao Qingxun quickly said: "Something happened. I owe you a real apology, even though you don't remember it anymore."
She took a deep breath and analyzed her innermost thoughts for Ying Bu Ran to see: "I thought that as long as I was nice to you, I could cover up the evil. Later, I realized that it was all just self-deception. Regardless, the damage has already been done. In fact, because I thought I was making amends, I even caused you more harm. This is all my fault."
Every time she spoke, she seemed to see the moments when Ying Bu Ran was thrown into prison, and the scene when the thunderbolt struck Ying Bu Ran, shattering their daily love.
If she hadn't escaped, would they have ended up like this?
Ying Bu Ran didn't say anything, but just held his chin in thought, which made Zhao Qingxun even more uneasy.
She quickly explained, "I don't expect you to accept it. This is all my fault, and I deserve it."
Even if Ying Bu Ran would never forgive her in this life, or wanted to punish her, it didn't matter, she was willing to bear it.
Unexpectedly, Ying Bu Ran shook his head lightly, as calm as ever: "It's not entirely your fault."
Zhao Chaoan immediately lost his nerve upon hearing this. He turned around and looked at Ying Bu Ran in disbelief: "Ah? Ah Ran, you won't be soft-hearted, will you?"
"No, it's just about the matter. Besides her, there are many other people, and they together contributed to my death." Ying Bu Ran shook his head.
She could still make the distinction and would not put all the blame on Zhao Qingxun, and of course she would not forgive Zhao Qingxun.
Ying Bu Ran looked directly into Zhao Qingxun's eyes. This time, Zhao Qingxun saw neither love nor hatred in her eyes, which made her even more flustered. "And you... I don't remember anything now. I have received your apology. Let's end it like this. We have no relationship from now on."
Ying Bu Ran stood up and prepared to leave. As soon as he stood up, Zhao Qingxun grabbed his sleeve again.
Zhao Qingxun's voice was trembling, and he looked at her pleadingly: "Not even a trace?"
She would rather Ying Bu Ran hated her now, so that at least they could still have a connection.
Ying Bu Ran gently tugged at his sleeve to free himself from his clothes: "As you said, you deceived me. For a relationship that started with lies, ending it is the most peaceful outcome."
The Sky Spirit Mirror emitted a faint light, saving her from this in time: "Someone is looking for me, goodbye."
After saying that, she left with Zhao Chaoan without any regrets. Zhao Chaoan even stuck out his tongue at Zhao Qingxun as if he had won.
But after leaving, Zhao Chaoan was not completely relieved: "Are you really not soft-hearted?"
She flew in front of Ying Bu Ran, stared at him, and felt relieved when she didn't see any other emotions.
"Why should I be soft-hearted? We have no relationship now. Whatever happened in the past is over for me. All I need to do now is to take revenge on those who killed me, that's all." Ying Bu Ran said lightly. She didn't want to think about these things now. Every time she thought about it, her heart ached.
As for completely forgetting about it and not being involved in it, how is that possible? I can only hope that this feeling will gradually disappear with time.
Zhao Chaoan stared at Ying Bu Ran without saying a word, and Ying Bu Ran did not look back at him with any guilt.
After a moment, Zhao Chaoan was the first to give in. Fei responded to Bu Ran's shoulder: "...It's good that it's over. Let's ignore her and focus on our vision. Whatever you decide, I will support you."
"Thank you. Su Yunying and the doctor have sent us messages again. Let's go over there." Ying Bu Ran scratched the little black bird's head and continued to move forward while speaking.
As soon as they entered, Qu Lingyou said, "Are you here? Then let's get ready to go. Do you have any fast transportation? It would be best if we could go back and forth within three days."
Ying Bu Ran paused for a moment as he approached, then quickened his pace and asked nervously, "Will it erupt again in three days?"
If that's the case, they'd better speed up.
But Qu Lingyou shook his head and said confidently, "No, my energy can only sustain me running outside for three days."
Ying Bu Ran didn't know what to say for a moment. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he nodded quickly under Qu Lingyou's gaze: "I understand."
Qu Lingyou looked at Su Yunying again, and Su Yunying nodded quickly. Only then did he continue with satisfaction: "Let's go here and find the medicine for me. You are responsible for sending me to the destination and protecting my safety. There are many herbs and monsters here. I can't defeat any of them now."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at the two of them and asked, "Do you have any questions? Is there anything you don't understand?"
But that look clearly said, "Don't try it if you don't understand."
Ying Bu Ran shook his head decisively: "No, I think I understand."
Su Yunying didn't understand Qu Lingyou's hint, so she raised her hand and asked seriously, "Yes! I can't fly, I can only run on two legs."
"...Then how did you get here?" Qu Lingyou asked in disbelief.
Su Yunying said as if it was a matter of course: "Just come over here, it's very simple."
Run over here? Did she know how far away Wanxiang Sect was from Zhuifeng City? "...It's so simple! That leaves only one solution." Qu Lingyou rubbed his brow, not knowing what to say.
As for the last method... the three of them looked at Zhao Chaoan together.
Zhao Chaoan was grooming when he was startled by being stared at. When he looked up, he met the expectant gazes of the three people and said deflatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll take you there."
"Then let's go. Who is that at the door?" Qu Lingyou put away the map and stood up. When he looked up at the door, he was stunned.
She didn't know when someone was standing at the door, but strangely, no one stopped her.
Zhao Chaoan immediately turned around and saw that it was someone he knew. He was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Why are you here again?!"
Zhao Qingxun ignored the bird dancing on the table and went straight to the point: "I have a flying boat, which can easily carry a few of us. It will also take three days to find a round trip."
Qu Lingyou's eyes lit up, but he didn't express his opinion immediately. Instead, he asked cautiously, "What do you want?"
"I hope I can come along and help." Zhao Qingxun said.
Qu Lingyou stroked his chin and asked tentatively, "Is there a place to sleep on the flying boat?"
Zhao Qingxun nodded: "Yes. There is expansion space on the flying boat, and everyone can have a room."
Qu Lingyou's eyes swam, and he felt it was feasible. Sleeping in the house was more comfortable than sleeping on a bird. And the fact that this person was here meant that he was all right—or perhaps needed her help to monitor him.
"Then you come too." Qu Lingyou immediately decided the matter.
Zhao Chaoan was unhappy and stared at Zhao Qingxun fiercely: "What do you want to do by following us?"
"I'm not following you." Zhao Qingxun shook his head and looked at Ying Bu Ran again. This time, he asked cautiously, "Do you... mind if I go with you?"
Ying Bu Ran just watched Qu Ling You slam the table and shook his head helplessly: "If you can keep your distance."
Zhao Qingxun's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly, fearing that Ying Bu Ran might regret it: "Okay."
