Chapter 13
The woman who called herself Gong Mei had her eyebrows drooped and her eyes were filled with tears. She was dressed in white with only a hairband on her head. She bit her lower lip nervously and timidly, which made people feel pitiful.
Gong Mei glanced up at Jiang Wan uneasily, then lowered her head timidly: "Sister, I won't disturb you and my benefactor. Please, I'll just follow you from a distance. If you don't want to see me, I will hide well and never appear in front of you. I won't bother you at all."
When a beautiful woman sobs, I feel pity for her.
Is this the treatment of the protagonist? Jiang Wan's thoughts drifted for a moment, and he secretly glanced around for the heroine who was supposed to appear, and then glanced at Lin Xubai to see his reaction.
Unfortunately, my position is not very good and I can’t see anything.
'Ask me for help, and I will help!'
Jiang Wan straightened her back unconsciously. She was no longer the background board with no lines as before.
It's a pity, a passerby is just a passerby. Even if he has a role to play, he will only be a background board.
It should be said that it was Lin Xubai who was entangled.
Gong Mei's eyes were slightly red. "I, I, it's all my fault that I couldn't save my father and mother due to my low cultivation level, nor could I resist my uncle. I know that my benefactor has done me a great favor by saving me from the clutches of the devil, and I shouldn't have any more delusions. I also know that it was wrong of me to follow my benefactor without his permission, but my uncle has always treated me... I really have nowhere else to go. Now I just want to follow my benefactor from a distance, to repay him, nothing else."
The end of her voice trembled slightly when she spoke, and she looked at Lin Xubai pleadingly with a look that seemed to want to say something but couldn't.
"I have had a poor talent for cultivation since I was young, and I was not noticed by my master from the moment I entered the sect. Fortunately, with the help of my junior sister, I was able to cultivate to this point. The lady feels grateful to my junior sister, and I feel the same way."
After being ignored, Jiang Wan, who already had an expressionless face, became even colder.
The back that had straightened quietly collapsed again.
What a pity, not only did the beauty not ask for help from her, she didn’t even look at her!
From the looks of it, she is still just an ordinary person.
One of them talked about his sorrow and helplessness, and the other also lamented his misfortune; one said that he could not repay the life-saving grace with his own life, and the other nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying that he felt the same, and asked for advice on how to better repay the grace, as if he was about to take notes.
Jiang Wan looked at Lin Xubai, who was trying to comfort them with soft words, but didn't respond, and remained silent, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.
For some reason, Jiang Wan had the illusion that they had met too late.
Tsk, but why did she feel that he looked so familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
Jiang Wan gave up after thinking for a while and couldn't come up with anything.
After talking for a long time, Gong Mei cried even more sadly, and turned to look at Jiang Wan with sad and resentful eyes.
Seeing the embarrassment on Lin Xubai's face, Jiang Wan also saw Gong Mei crying so pitifully, so she tried to persuade him, "Save her until the end, and send her off to the west."
Lin Xubai: “…”
Jiang Wan didn't care or pay attention to what happened next. After Lin Xubai said he had found a way to take the person away, Jiang Wan ordered a large table of food, sat down to eat while taking the newly bought map to ask the waiter about the location of Yongshu Township.
It would be impolite if you didn't take the task more seriously.
"Yongshu Township? Then you've asked the right person, sir. Once you're out of the city and head southwest, it'll take about two hours to pass through the Zhuqin barrier."
"Is there no teleportation array?" Jiang Wan frowned. She didn't know how to fly a sword.
"Well, originally there was one. After all, it's the famous Red Love Flower Sea near us. Countless young cultivators came here to enjoy it. But in recent months, many of the cultivators who came here include disciples of the Demon Sect. So the teleportation array in Yongshu Township was destroyed, so it's naturally unusable."
“Are there many monks coming here?”
"Of course! Legend has it that this sea of red love flowers is the remains of the body of an ancient great demon after his death. I heard that this great demon had a beloved Taoist partner, and the great demon left his body behind only to wait for his partner to reincarnate and return to continue their previous relationship.
As a result, many happy love stories were born.
Over time, this sea of red flowers became a place for male and female cultivators to pledge their love. Not only did the more distant Seven Lights Sect disciples often visit the sea of red flowers in Yongshu Township, but even in nearby Senluo City, many unmarried couples came here every year to pledge their love.
Jiang Wan hadn't eaten for long when Lin Xubai came back alone.
"Huh?" Jiang Wan looked behind Lin Xubai, the question of 'Why did you come back alone' was obvious in her eyes.
Lin Xubai lazily picked up the pastries that Jiang Wan had left for him on the table, and tilted his head slightly as if he didn't understand what Jiang Wan was asking.
"We came out this time for something serious. I haven't forgotten that it's not appropriate for Miss Gong to keep following us. Since Miss Gong has nowhere to go, I found her a place to stay."
“Is it reliable?”
"Of course, I even spent spirit stones to get information from Humo Pavilion. Alas, I'll save people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west."
Seeing Lin Xubai holding the storage bag with a distressed look, Jiang Wan curled his lips, stuffed the spirit stones from the warehouse into the storage bag and handed it to Lin Xubai as compensation.
"Junior Sister Jiang is really beautiful and kind-hearted!"
“That’s it!”
Jiang Wan took out the scroll and studied it. "The mission only said to ask for help, but I asked the waiter, and this Yongshu Township is where a young couple got together, and I heard nothing happened recently."
"I just went out and noticed that the people here looked normal, and it didn't look like anything had happened."
"Could it be that this trapped disciple was forced into marriage and couldn't escape, so he asked for help and wanted to find someone to save him?" With this inference, Jiang Wan felt that it was very likely.
Hearing this, Lin Xubai glanced at Jiang Wan with mixed emotions before slowly speaking, "Hmm... that shouldn't be the case..."
After learning the location of Yongshu Township, Jiang Wan did not rush in, but instead wandered around the area for another two days.
After buying some talismans and elixirs, he and Lin Xubai got on the newly bought spiritual weapon and headed southwest outside the city.
After passing through the barrier, there is a gorgeous sea of flowers. It turns out that Yongshu Township is a small town surrounded by a sea of flowers.
Although it is called the Red Love Flower Sea, this sea of flowers not only has red stamens, but also countless varieties of flowers with gorgeous colors.
"How beautiful!" Jiang Wan exclaimed, "No wonder the waiter said so many young couples come here because of its reputation."
This sea of flowers is so huge that it seems boundless.
Perhaps because this sea of red flowers is famous and many people come here to visit, there are exquisite chains hanging here as lights to guide the way.
This made it easier for Jiang Wan and Lin Xubai to find the town of Yongshu Township.
In the center of the street, which is full of the atmosphere of the city, is an old teahouse. A cloth banner with a pair of butterflies playing with flowers hangs from the eaves, drooping in the wind.
"Sure enough, the communication jade talisman is no longer usable." Jiang Wan and Lin Xubai sat opposite each other, one hand supporting their chin as they looked at the jade talisman in their hand while observing the people passing by.
Forget about snatching people away, she couldn't even find the person who issued the mission. You couldn't let her prove her identity by performing the twelve upper-rank entry-level sword techniques at the highest point.
Lin Xubai rolled up his sleeves and made tea for Jiang Wan. His every move was as smooth as flowing water and was pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Wan took it and said, "Oh, I forgot to ask, where did you send Gong Mei?"
“Swish——”
Lin Xubai turned the wrist holding the folding fan.
"Xiangming Pavilion."
"puff--"
Jiang Wan spat out a mouthful of tea.
"What! You sent her to a brothel!!!"
“Snap—”
