Chapter 121
The girl looked at Ye Lan and Leng Qingqiu behind him with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes. She nodded and began to lose herself in memories.
"My three brothers and I have no one to rely on. We were abandoned since childhood and have been living in a dilapidated temple outside the city."
"I remember that some beggars not far from the city fled to the dilapidated temple where we were in panic, wanting us to give them half of our territory."
"They said that some beggars were lying on the ground not far away for unknown reasons, their bodies covered with boils. Not long after, they all died suddenly. They were afraid and stayed away from there."
"The four of us siblings were actually fine in the dilapidated temple. I just can't remember when it started, but more and more people with abscesses started flocking into the city to see a doctor. At first, the city lord let a few in, but after a while, he ordered the city gates to be sealed."
"So, more and more patients came to the city. The four of us realized something was wrong, so we found a secret passage and hid there."
Ye Lan asked the question in his heart: "Since the city gates are closed, why is there no one in the city now? What happened next? What happened?"
The young girl's eyes were filled with confusion. She looked at Ye Lan and slowly continued, "Later, nothing strange actually happened. More and more people came outside the city. They couldn't get in, and their illnesses couldn't be cured, so they started quarreling and cursing outside the city."
"Perhaps because there were too many noisy people, the city lord ordered the city gates to be opened, and everyone went in. The four of us siblings were so hungry that we wanted to go into the city to see if we could pick up or beg for something to eat. Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered the city gate, we were brought here by a puff of black smoke."
"It was so dark here, with only two lights in the distance. Everyone was panicking and scared, not knowing what was happening."
Hearing this, Ye Lan turned around and glanced at Leng Qingqiu, who had a cold expression.
"Brother Leng, what do you think?"
Leng Qingqiu's eyes fell on the two beams of light in the girl's mouth, and he slowly said, "Do you think these lights look like something?"
Ye Lan was stunned. He stood up and looked in the direction of Leng Qingqiu.
He squinted his eyes; the two beams of light made him feel very uncomfortable all over.
"You can't see it from close up, but when you stand far away, they look like two lanterns."
Leng Qingqiu glanced at Ye Lan with some disgust in his eyes, and he raised his hand and waved it in front of Ye Lan's eyes.
Then, Ye Lan discovered that this was not a lantern at all, but two eyes!
Ye Lan was startled. He turned around and looked at Leng Qingqiu, "How did you find out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the miniature dragon crawling from Leng Qingqiu's wrist to his shoulder, raising its head proudly and saying, "That's nothing! My master is very powerful!"
Ye Lan: ...
Jiaolong wanted to say something but was stopped by Leng Qingqiu with a cold face.
"Shut up."
Jiaolong: How ruthless and rude! I was actually praising him!
The atmosphere was livened up by the dragon's presence, and Ye Lan's fear disappeared. He looked around at the people on the ground and analyzed the situation with Leng Qingqiu: "This matter is very strange. I'm afraid it won't be that simple. How could an ordinary person have such great ability to do all this?"
Ye Lan knew that this matter was probably related to the demon clan, but he couldn't tell Leng Qingqiu directly, otherwise this traitor would definitely be suspicious.
Leng Qingqiu looked around and nodded to indicate his agreement with Ye Lan's analysis.
"Yes, mortals do not have this ability. Judging from the style of doing things, it is inevitable that they are related to the demons."
Ye Lan was waiting for these words. He immediately snapped his fingers and said, "But aren't the demons sealed away? How could they appear here?"
Leng Qingqiu's gaze stopped at the wooden hairpin on Ye Lan's head: "This hairpin is ugly and does not suit you. Don't wear it in the future."
As he said that, he took off the wooden hairpin disguised as a black snake with one hand and threw it hard behind him.
The black snake could only pretend to be dead, but tears flowed from its tightly closed eyes.
Ye Lan looked at the black snake that was thrown out and couldn't help but close his eyes. Oh my God, it hurts just looking at it!
But what could he do? He had no other choice. This traitor must have noticed something.
After finishing everything, Leng Qingqiu did not look at Ye Lan again. Instead, he directly summoned his natal sword and used his spiritual power to fly towards the eyes.
The four girls and boys behind him looked at Leng Qingqiu in surprise as he flew away. They all exclaimed, "Immortal! It's the Immortal who has come to save us!"
Ye Lan put his finger to his lips and hushed softly.
"Be quiet, be calm. Don't make any noise."
As he spoke, Ye Lan looked up at Leng Qingqiu.
Leng Qingqiu had already raised his sword and stabbed directly at the eye. The eye seemed unaware that a cultivator had infiltrated the area. It gathered its evil energy in frustration, and a figure in black immediately appeared.
"Who are you and why are you here? As long as you promise not to attack me, I can let you go!"
Leng Qingqiu looked at the black shadow with a cold gaze, as if he was looking at a dead person.
"How dare you speak so arrogantly!"
Having said that, Leng Qingqiu immediately released his killing move.
It was obvious that the black shadow was just a mortal who had recently fallen into the path of evil. What was there to be afraid of?
