Bai Jing stood beside Xiang Yan, Xiang Yin and the others, keeping an eye on his surroundings. At the same time, his hand unconsciously pulled Xiang Yan behind him.
"..."Xiang Yin looked at Bai Jing's actions and Xiang Yan's obedient expression with complicated eyes. She didn't know whether she should worry about the fact that a random person she met was a big shot, or should she worry about Bai Jing's unusual attitude towards Xiang Yan?
Under the vigilant gaze of Xiang Yan and the others, the man in metal armor did not appear again. From the distance, they could faintly hear the sound of them communicating with each other, as if no one noticed what had just happened here. Or maybe they knew what had happened here, but no one... no, no one cared.
Maybe they will be happy to see it happen!
After a while, Gu Anping, who had been inside for a long time, still did not come out. Bai Jingxiangyan and others, who had originally had a relatively calm expression, couldn't help but look unhappy.
"Brother..." Xiang Yin pulled Xiang Yan's sleeve and called softly, her voice trembling slightly, not daring to look around in the darkness.
Xiang Shi didn't say anything, but his action of leaning towards Xiang Yan again and again revealed his uneasy heart.
Looking at the closed door beside him without any movement, and then looking at the flickering light that seemed very far away from them, Xiang Yan couldn't help but look at Bai Jing who had been protecting them beside him.
“……” Bai Jing turned around and looked at Xiang Yan.
Two seconds later, Xiang Yan and Bai Jing finished their communication. They both nodded slightly at the same time, and then Bai Jing turned around and knocked on the door that Gu Anping had entered before.
Crunch——
A shrill, teeth-grinding sound was heard, and the door slowly opened a crack.
It was pitch black behind the open door and he couldn't see what was inside at all. Xiang Yan couldn't help but retract his foot, which he had just raised.
But as soon as he stopped, he bumped into Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi who were holding on to him tightly from behind.
Thinking of his younger brothers and sisters who had no ability to protect themselves, Xiang Yan took a deep breath, pulled Xiang Yin and took two steps towards the door, walked to Bai Jing, and then stopped.
"I'll go in and take a look first." Bai Jing looked back at Xiang Yan and the others, nodded slightly, then took the lead, pushed open the door and walked in with the Demon-Suppressing Sword.
Xiang Yan, Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi stood at the door, looking inside with slightly worried expressions.
It's not like Xiang Yan and the others are trying to commit suicide even though they know there is a problem inside. The best thing to do now is to go in and see what the situation is.
Not to mention that their friend Gu Anping is inside, they can't just leave him alone. Let's just say there's this unknown ghost market outside...
It's not necessarily safe outside.
Xiang Yan separated a part of his consciousness and followed Bai Jing to carefully watch the scene behind the door, while complaining about the strange ghost market in his heart.
[Dear...] The system looked at Xiang Yan who was still in the mood to complain, and said in a slightly surprised tone, [Are you not afraid anymore?]
You have to know that when the system first brought Xiang Yan to this world, Xiang Yan basically would not go out in the evening and at night when there were many ghosts except for going to school, and the first time he saw a ghost, he was scared to the point of breaking out in cold sweats.
It's not like now, his face is cold and alert, and he is in the mood to complain.
[Of course, after all, I have seen so many storms, how can I... WTF? ! ! ]
Before Xiang Yan could finish his slightly proud words, he was startled by the man who suddenly appeared in front of Bai Jing.
The man looked to be about thirty years old, with a gloomy face. He was wearing a black gown and his footsteps were barely audible.
He suddenly appeared in front of Bai Jing, then looked at Bai Jing with a grim look without saying a word.
Because Xiang Yan and Bai Jing's consciousness were connected, Xiang Yan, who was standing at the door, felt the sudden fright the same way as Bai Jing.
"Hiss..." Xiang Yan raised his hand to cover his forehead, hissed softly, and patted his pounding heart.
"Brother?" Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi looked at Xiang Yan in confusion, as if he was suddenly frightened.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xiang Yan quickly put down his hand, gave Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi a comforting smile, and then focused his attention on Bai Jing inside.
Bai Jing was also startled by the sudden appearance of the man, but he still kept his character in mind and did not show any surprised expression.
He looked at the silent man in front of him, took a small step back, then asked with a polite smile: "Sorry, I didn't mean to barge in. I came to look for my friend, he has been in for a while..."
Perhaps it was because Bai Jing had an innocent and simple, very likable baby face. After Bai Jing explained with a smile the reason why he came in, although the man's expression was still not very good, he did not stare at Bai Jing gloomily anymore.
"Are you talking about the kid from the Gu family?" the man said indifferently.
"Yeah." Bai Jing nodded.
The man turned around and pressed the wall. The dark room suddenly lit up. It’s not quite right to say bright, because the room was still dark, but a little better than before, and he could see the surrounding environment more clearly.
The man walked to a chair with a dejected look on his face and lay down casually, then pointed to a door deep in the room, "He's inside."
Looking at the rusty iron door covered with ivy, Bai Jing's expression changed. Thinking of the man's friendly attitude just now, he thought for a moment and asked politely, "Excuse me, why is Anping... in there?"
The author has something to say: Ah… I really regret signing up for the computer exam in September. There were so many things to do when the school started, and all of them were piled up in these few days. As a result, there were many classes, and I had to find time to review computer. Ah… It’s too much!!! In fact, we have fewer subjects this semester than last year, but there are more courses. Basically, there are two major classes every week, and they are all in the morning!!! Every day is full of classes from morning to night!!!
Alas~
Who told me that college was easy? ! !
I have a computer exam this Sunday, and I can resume normal updates after the exam. As for the updates I owe... emmm, it should be... not too many, right? ! Hahaha, I will make up for it later! ! !
