Zuan laughed heartily: "Alright, I'll be clinging to your coattails from now on."
Qiu Honglei's expression was strange. Now that the two of them were far more powerful than him, Wei Suo couldn't tell. If he knew their true cultivation levels, he wondered what his expression would be.
Zu An felt somewhat apologetic, as the Wei family's misfortune might be related to him. The Wei family of Mingyue City and Wei Dan in the palace were related, but Old Man Mi had taken down their strongest backer. Without their support, the Wei family naturally fell into decline.
However, every cloud has a silver lining. If it weren't for this, Vesso wouldn't have had this extraordinary encounter and developed his current skills.
"By the way, I heard that you were arrested by the people in the capital as a wanted criminal. At that time, our Wei family was also in trouble, and we wanted to help but couldn't. Are you a wanted criminal now?" Wei Suo said to him, his expression full of sighs as he talked about the past.
Zuan, recalling the punishment he had received from Zhao Hao for the matter of the Demon Regent, replied with a strange expression, "In a way, yes."
"Don't worry, after a while, when there's a general amnesty, you should be fine..." Wei Suo comforted him, but then suddenly realized that even during his escape, the other person had such a beautiful girl who followed him wholeheartedly, while he himself only had his left and right hands by his side. Who should comfort whom?
"By the way, where is this place?" Zu'an finally asked the question that had been bothering him, and Qiu Honglei, who was standing next to him, also perked up her ears.
“This is Ruolan Temple,” Veso answered instinctively.
Zuan: "..."
“I just saw the stone tablet and know that this is Ruolan Temple. I want to ask what is going on in this world.”
“Oh, so that’s what you’re asking about,” Vesso said with a sudden realization. “I don’t know.”
The two from Zuan:
? ? ?
Veso then explained, "I originally entered a small secret realm to explore for treasure, but suddenly a black hole appeared in the sky, and the secret realm seemed to begin to collapse and mutate. When I woke up, I was already in this world."
"Oh, when did you wake up?" Qiu Honglei couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing the beautiful woman's question, Wei Suo immediately sat up straight, but because of her radiant appearance, he didn't dare to meet her gaze: "About three days ago."
"Three days ago?" Zu An and Qiu Honglei exchanged a glance. They had just entered this world, but the other party had already been here for three days.
Could it be that the abnormal flow of time was caused when passing through a spatial black hole?
"So what did you find out in these three days?" Zu An asked curiously.
“I woke up in a small town nearby three days ago. I was planning to go out and have a good meal after I finished searching for things in the secret realm, so I didn’t prepare any supplies. I was tired and hungry at the time, but the people in this town had no sympathy at all. They not only didn’t give me any food, but they also wouldn’t let me stay the night,” Wei Su muttered, his tone full of resentment, clearly very unhappy with his experience.
"Fortunately, I managed to get some food from those wicked people in those poor and remote places thanks to my own intelligence," Veso said, puffing out his chest and beaming with excitement. "Of course, in return, I'll come and help them exorcise the ghosts."
"Exorcising ghosts?" Zuan and the other man were taken aback. What was going on?
"These country folk are ignorant and just spread rumors that Ruolan Temple is haunted," Wei Suo waved his hand dismissively. "There are no ghosts in this world. In my opinion, it's probably just some wicked thief hiding here to avoid being discovered."
They deliberately spread rumors about ghosts and monsters to scare away nearby villagers; I've encountered things like this before.
Zuan seemed to be deep in thought. He had felt that the forest outside was particularly cold and strange before, but he couldn't figure it out at the time. Now that he thought about it, could it really be because it was haunted?
He transmigrated to a world of cultivation, and his experiences over the years have been incredibly diverse. Since there are even immortals, it's not surprising that there are ghosts as well.
However, the demons outside are quite different from the monsters in his previous life. As for ghosts, he rarely sees them. They are either evil cultivators who practice necromancy skills and refine some dead souls. However, those dead souls are pure soul power and death energy, and have no consciousness.
The only ghost with consciousness seems to be Nanxun, the maid of Kong Nanwu, the princess of the Peacock Royal Family.
However, she used the tiger clan's innate skill to capture the ghosts, and with Kong Nanwu's special magic, she lived a normal life in the human world and even became a famous courtesan, which was quite different from the ghosts in those horror movies in her previous life.
"Have you found any traces of people or ghosts these past few days?" Qiu Honglei asked curiously. As a high-level cultivator, she wasn't afraid of people, but as for elusive ghosts? She really had no idea.
"I just arrived today. I searched the area during the day but didn't find anyone," Wei Suo coughed lightly. "I suppose those villains noticed my arrival and fled one by one."
Qiu Honglei smiled and secretly transmitted her voice, "Aunt, your deskmate is quite... interesting."
Zuan replied, "That's just his personality, quite interesting."
Thinking.
At this moment, Vesso cried out and took the stick off the campfire. The bread on it was already charred black. A look of heartache flashed across his face. He peeled off the charred layer, originally wanting to see if there was anything edible inside. Who knew that after being roasted over the fire for so long, it was already burnt beyond recognition.
So he took out a steamed bun from his bag and started baking it: "Have you eaten? I'll treat you to some steamed buns. The villagers gave them to me before, and they were quite delicious."
Zuan asked in confusion, "I just heard you grilling chicken wings."
Vesso blushed: "Don't even mention it, there are no chicken wings. I was just imagining it. I've been so bored with food these days. Once I get rid of this threat at Ruolan Temple, I'll definitely go back and ask for the chickens that the mayor keeps in his yard!"
