"Host, I don't understand why you keep wanting to save Bing Nandong? He's just a character in a novel."
"It's enough that I understand." Fan Zhiyi didn't really want to care about Baibai now, so let him be alone in peace for a while.
Although it was quiet, Fan Zhiyi was not idle either. He continued to learn the magic of digging holes. As long as he dug outside the Zhaixing Tower, he could...
"..." He couldn't even fly with a sword, let alone travel thousands of miles in a day! Could he really dig through the ground according to the map Bai Bai gave him? That would take ages, and by then, everyone would probably be dead!
At this moment, a thousand paper cranes landed in front of Fan Zhiyi, then disappeared, and a piece of text appeared in the air. It was written to him by Bing Nandong, saying that he was handling affairs at Tianyunmen and would come back to explain in three days, asking Fan Zhiyi not to worry.
Fan Zhiyi: “…” You bastard.
No, Bing Nandong is obsessed with three days. Every time it’s the third day.
Bai Bai helped Fan Zhiyi count the days. On the fourth day, Fan Zhiyi received another letter from Bingnan Dongxin, saying that the matters were too complicated and would take a few more days to deal with. If he did not return after seven days, someone would be sent to pick up Fan Zhiyi.
What he said sounded so convincing that he almost believed it.
Fan Zhiyi glanced at it and ignored it, asking Bai Bai: "How is Bing Nandong doing?"
"The system cannot detect the situation inside the Ghost Gate."
"How is the Ghost Gate now?"
"No abnormalities have been detected so far. If there is any new situation, I will inform the host as soon as possible."
He dug the hole for another three or four days, and Fan Zhiyi dug day and night.
He had already thought it through. When he got outside the Zhaixing Tower, he would overcome his fear, catch a few ghosts, report Bing Nandong's name, and then ask if there was any way to travel instantly.
Fan Zhiyi sighed. It was bad enough that he was transmigrated into a book and ended up being so miserable. He finally became good friends with the most powerful person in the book, but now he had to dig a tunnel to find someone. What a mess he had become!
"Yi Zhifan, are you in there?"
Fan Zhiyi thought he was hallucinating: "Baibai, it seems like someone is calling me."
"Host, someone is looking for you."
Fan Zhiyi: “!” He quickly shouted upwards, “I’m in there!” The voice sounded familiar.
"What are you doing in there?"
"Do we have to yell at each other like this? Can you please get me up there quickly?"
"What did you say?"
Fan Zhiyi: "..." He silently began to crawl towards the cave entrance, but the other party was also coming towards him. When they met, Fan Zhiyi was surprised and asked, "Cen Jun! Why are you here?"
"Come out first." Cen Jun looked at the narrow cave, then at Fan Zhiyi. "Do you mind if I open the hole a little wider?"
"No, no, I don't mind."
Cen Jun slapped his palm upwards and at the same time summoned a barrier to prevent the falling dust from crushing the two of them to the ground.
When he returned to the ground, Fan Zhiyi found that the hole he had dug over the past few days was not as solid as the one pierced through by someone else's palm.
"Baibai, after this is over, I will practice hard." Fan Zhiyi swore. This was too hurtful to his self-esteem.
Then he turned his head and looked at the man who was tied tightly with the rope. The man's clothes were disheveled, his eyes were swollen and black, and there was blood at the corners of his mouth.
He sat with one leg propped up, his outer robe half slipped off, looking a bit frivolous. Seeing Fan Zhiyi looking at him, he raised the corner of his mouth at him.
It's just that the other party probably wanted to give Fan Zhiyi a charming smile, but unfortunately it looked a little weird on her face now.
Fan Zhiyi asked Cen Jun: "Who is he?"
"Lin Taiyin is my senior brother's subordinate in the Fusha Sect. I asked him to bring me to you, but he refused, so I beat him up and explained the situation to him, and then he agreed." Cen Jun said very seriously, "There is no time to lose, let's go outside first."
Cen Jun lifted Lin Taiyin up and said, "Sorry for the offense. Please take us out now."
Lin Taiyin did as he was told. When he got outside, Cen Jun untied his ropes and said, "Thank you, Master Lin and Miss Lin."
Fan Zhiyi was full of questions, girl, where is the girl?
However, Lin Taiyin's expression changed. It was the same face, but it gave people a completely different impression. He bowed politely and said, "I have been ordered to stay here and control the ghosts. I cannot go with you two. Please be sure to bring the master back safely."
"I will." Cen Jun looked at Fan Zhiyi and summoned a flying sword. "Let's go."
Fan Zhiyi only extracted one piece of information from their conversation: Cen Jun's visit to him was related to Bing Nandong. He immediately joined Cen Jun on his flying sword and asked, "Are we going to look for Bing Nandong now?"
Cen Jun nodded, and as he flew away with Fan Zhiyi on his flying sword, he explained, "Lin Taiyin is a dual soul. He also has the soul of his sister, Lin Juewan, in his body. I only learned this during the fight earlier."
The wind whistled in his ears, but Cen Jun's flying speed did not slow down but increased: "Zhifan, hold on tight."
"I'm holding on tight!" Fan Zhiyi still hung on Cen Jun like an octopus. No matter how many times he flew, he still felt afraid of heights. "Cen Jun, why did you come here to find me? How is Bing Nandong now?"
"Half a month ago, Senior Brother suddenly approached Master Zhuang and said he had figured out a solution to the Ghost Gate issue. They discussed it for a long time and summoned members of many sects to the Ghost Gate. After everything was ready, Senior Brother went in alone to investigate, while we held the defense outside. But before long, the number of ghosts pouring out of the Ghost Gate increased, and thunder rumbled in the sky. We worried that Senior Brother had met with misfortune, so Master Jinwu, Master Jinwu, and I teamed up to go into the Ghost Gate to look for him."
Fan Zhiyi was unable to open his eyes due to the wind, and he could not help but hold Cen Jun tighter, anxiously asking, "Have you found Bing Nandong?"
"We found him. By the way, we also violently suppressed most of the ghosts together with our senior brother. But we gradually discovered that something was wrong with our senior brother. There was too much ghost energy in his body, which eroded most of his will. His emotions were out of control, and he only wanted to kill, destroy, and..." Cen Jun paused, "We found my brother."
"Find your brother?" Doesn't that mean you're looking for me?
"Um."
Apparently, considering Bing Nandong's current relationship with Fan Zhiyi, Cen Jun wanted to say something more, but Fan Zhiyi beat him to the punch and pressed him, "And then?"
Cen Jun continued the previous topic, saying, "Master Jinwu judged that if Senior Brother left Ghost Gate in his current condition, there would be great chaos. So he and Master Zhuang set up a formation to temporarily trap him while he was conscious, and sent me out of Ghost Gate to find you. I don't know why, but Master Jinwu said he couldn't do without you right now, so I forcibly took you away without asking your consent. I apologize."
Hearing this, Fan Zhiyi, besides being worried about Bing Nandong, also showed even greater respect for Jin Wu. The master was indeed a master. "So, what exactly is the countermeasure you have come up with against the Ghost Gate?"
