Chapter 68
The appearance of Xian Mo and his group was beyond the expectations of Su Xuan and the others, and they had no idea that this group of masters and disciples came here to track down Ran Yi.
Let’s not talk about how to sneak into Chunyue Pavilion at night for now, they at least have to find out the truth first.
——They found a teahouse, and Xianmo drank tea leisurely. His apprentice honestly said that they had been tracking Ran Yi for more than half a year. In the beginning, someone came to them for help, saying that a plague had broken out in a certain place, and people were behaving strangely. They suspected that there was an evil spirit at work, so they sent four people to investigate. If they could solve the problem, they would solve it on the spot. If not, they would come back to report to Xianmo.
As a result, only one of the four people who went came back.
The one who came back was covered with wounds and wept bitterly, saying that his three brothers were all killed by a first-generation dragon.
That one was particularly frantic, wantonly plundering the entire city as if it had no fear of causing chaos, killing people without regard for their own lives! After killing the three brothers, he devoured them all!
This news alarmed the entire sect. Out of indignation, they almost went out in full force to seek revenge on that talon. If Xianmo hadn't stopped them on the spot, I'm afraid...
Speaking of this, the young apprentice still looked gloomy.
Yan Ning'an subconsciously looked at Xian Mo, who seemed to be looking downstairs calmly and took a sip of tea.
"Later, Master brought the six of us all the way here to track Ran Yi," the young disciple frowned. "We've never seen such a ferocious beast before. It devoured the food so recklessly, as if it was determined to either die or—"
——Or become even more powerful than Zong Ning.
Su Xuan and the others all frowned.
Such a follow-up is indeed a bit shocking, but it is not completely unexpected.
Ran Yihen had a grudge against Zong Ning, and since he wasn't dead, he would definitely come back for revenge after recovering his strength.
Of course, he wouldn't choose to slowly recover his strength. If he wanted to increase his strength in a short period of time, he could only rely on devouring, devouring like crazy...
So, Xian Mo's three disciples were indirectly implicated by them...
Su Xuan took a deep breath and solemnly explained everything they knew.
I thought Xian Mo and the others would get angry after hearing this, but I didn't expect that after he finished speaking, these seven people didn't react much.
Su Xuan was stunned and said, "You guys..."
Don’t you have anything to say?
The ink-carrying disciple sighed and said, "That Zong Ning is a first-generation phoenix, right? He was deceived by Ran Yi before because he had just transformed. But as he grows stronger, it's only a matter of time before he realizes that Ran Yi is using him... After all, this can't be blamed on anyone."
He said slowly: "Everything is caused by Ran Yi's greed and killing."
Xianmo put down the tea bowl and continued his apprentice's words, "And nothing has actually changed, right?"
"What?" Su Xuan and the others were stunned.
"You came to this era because a time-travel spell appeared on the chest of the phoenix named Zong Ning. The caster of the spell didn't give you any hints, and you had no idea what to do after you arrived at your destination. So you had to figure it all out on your own, and after figuring it out, you came to believe that everything was related to Ran Yi," Xian Mo said slowly. "Have you ever considered that your previous time travel wasn't a mistake?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Xuan and the others were sure.
"Or rather, it was indeed a mistake, but a mistake that was destined to happen. And Ran Yi's madness was also destined to happen. Nothing has changed. You said that long before you traveled through time, you knew that Zong Ning and Ran Yi would become enemies. You thought your appearance accelerated the development of the 'timeline', but perhaps this is the original 'timeline'."
Xian Mo's words made Su Xuan and the others look stunned.
Lu Tao and Ye Yun were stunned. Yan Ning'an frowned and fell into deep thought after coming to his senses. Su Xuan asked in confusion, "Why did the caster of the time-travel spell summon us to this era? If our presence can't change anything, what's the point of us being here?"
Xian Mo chuckled: "You still haven't figured it out, Mr. Su. Your time travel doesn't mean that nothing can be changed. Your time travel may be something that was supposed to happen."
Su Xuan was stunned for a moment before a thought flashed through his mind. He said in astonishment, "Are you saying that if we hadn't traveled through time, then perhaps we would have...changed the past?"
Xianmo picked up the tea bowl again and said with a smile, "Yes."
One word dropped a heavy bomb on Su Xuan and the other three.
Ye Yun's face went blank. He opened his mouth and muttered, "Then, if we hadn't traveled through time, maybe Zong Ning wouldn't have been cursed? Was that time-travel spell a trap set by the caster?"
"Who knows what will happen if the past is changed? Maybe everything will get better, or maybe it will get worse. In fact, the spellcaster brought you here not just to let you repeat history, but there must be other purposes. No one will understand until the last moment." Xian Mo said this, stretched, and said, "Okay, let's discuss our plans for tonight."
…
Until the night fell, Su Xuan and the others were still in a daze because of Xian Mo's words.
Anpingfang suddenly became lively from being deserted during the day.
The door of Xianglaiyuan was tightly closed, but everyone seemed to subconsciously ignore that gloomy place. Last night's murder case could not affect anyone.
To get into Chunyue Pavilion, you must first pay to enter.
The man holding the ink looked sloppy and slippery, but the generous and smiling manner when he paid really made Su Xuan, Ye Yun, Lu Tao and Yan Ning'an swallow hard.
The madam smiled so much that her eyes narrowed. She quickly welcomed the group upstairs and asked Xianmo which girl he wanted. Xianmo smiled and said that as long as she was good at singing and dancing, it would be fine. They just wanted to listen to some little songs and didn't need any other disturbances.
As soon as they entered the room, they started to transform.
...In the end, Su Xuan, Yan Ning'an and Ye Yun made the sacrifice.
Su Xuan originally wanted to protest. After all, the three of them were selected because of their height. This was simply discrimination, blatant discrimination!
...However, they still felt a little guilty about Ran Yi's matter, so they didn't bother to complain too much...
Su Xuan was numb, and finally gave up and thought to himself, "Whatever happens, it doesn't matter." After all, it wasn't the first time he dressed up as a woman, it was just his second time!
Yan Ning'an conjured up clothes and hair buns for them, and even put makeup on them to suit the dynasty...
Then he turned his head and whispered to Xian Mo: "...My spiritual power is not enough."
Holding his chin with his ink-mouthed hand, he leaned on the table and responded with a smile: "Hmm?"
"..." Yan Ning'an, "I'll trouble you with the appearance and voice..."
Xi Mo: "I think you are doing quite well the way you are now."
Su Xuan, Ye Yun, and Yan Ningan: “???”
Xian Mo stared at Yan Ning'an, and this look made his disciple beside him feel overwhelmed: "Master, you..."
Amidst the bad premonitions among the few people, Xian Mo said with interest, "Just go ahead."
Everyone: “????”
"What are you still standing there for?" Xian Mo kindly reminded, "If you delay any longer, the girl from Chunyue Pavilion will be here soon."
*
As the two doors closed, the three girls stood stiffly at the doorway.
The next second, Su Xuan turned around suddenly, grinning.
Ye Yun stopped him: "Calm down! Mr. Su, calm down! We still have important things to do!"
Yan Ning'an clutched her skirt with both hands, her face flushed red with shame—that guy had done it on purpose! He clearly had enough spiritual power, but he simply refused to let them change their appearance. This, this was simply deliberately letting them play a shameful game! Yan Ning'an had thought that as long as the face wasn't his, he could pretend that the women's clothing wasn't his tonight!
Seeing some guests passing by in the distance, Ye Yun quickly pulled the two of them toward the corridor.
The purpose of them changing into women's clothes was naturally to more conveniently search for Ran Yi's whereabouts in the entire Chunyue Pavilion.
It is true that Ran Yi had just caused a big disturbance in Xianglaiyuan last night. If he was not really desperate, theoretically he should not have broken into any brothel tonight.
But not to mention that he is now completely crazy and normal thinking logic cannot be applied to him, let’s talk about Zong Ning——
Su Xuan and the others always suspected that Zong Ning would appear in Anpingfang tonight.
Maybe it was inside Chunyue Pavilion, maybe it was outside Chunyue Pavilion. In short, it was impossible for the caster of the time-space shuttle spell to take them to a place that had nothing to do with Zong Ning.
And if this is the place where Ran Yi finally took revenge on Zong Ning, then Ran Yi will definitely appear nearby tonight.
If they don't find any trace of Zong Ning or Ran Yi in Chunyue Pavilion after searching around, then they will move on to the next brothel to search.
In short, adapt to circumstances.
The three of them walked quickly into the depths of the corridor. Along the way, they could hear the flirting of men and women coming from the rooms on both sides, which made them feel really uncomfortable.
Su Xuan whispered, "Separately? Going together would be too conspicuous."
Yan Ning'an also whispered: "Who is Xiao Ye with? He has no spiritual power, and it's a bit dangerous to act alone."
Ye Yun whispered, "It doesn't matter, I will be more cautious. Even if I meet Ran Yi, I don't have any spiritual power, so he will just treat me as an ordinary person."
He thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Su and Mr. Yan were walking too far ahead on the way here, so you didn't hear Mr. Lu mention something."
"What did Dad say?" Su Xuan asked quickly.
Ye Yun said, "He told us to be careful of the Night Guards. The Night Guards are the employees of the Monster Affairs Bureau in this era. They might sneak in to search for Ran Yi. Mr. Lu said they all wear black clothes-"
Su Xuan frowned subconsciously: "If they really want to come in to investigate, they can't wear the uniform. It would be too conspicuous."
Ye Yun: "Then there's no way to tell. Mr. Lu also said that we should be especially careful of the leader of the Night Guard. He might be a family that kills demons without blinking an eye—"
Su Xuan: "Woo!"
They walked to the end of the corridor, and Su Xuan bumped into someone who came around the corner.
"Xiao Su--" Ye Yun's panicked words had only been half said when they stopped abruptly.
Su Xuan covered his nose and took two steps back, wondering whose chest was so hard!
He shook his head, then looked up suddenly, and before he could say anything, he was stunned.
Not only Su Xuan was stunned, but Ye Yun and Yan Ning were also stunned.
Standing before them were five tall men.
The other four were either holding fans or smiling with raised eyebrows, all of them were dashing young men.
One of them's eyes lit up when he saw Su Xuan, and he stretched out his hand to touch Su Xuan's chin: "When did Chunyue Pavilion have such a little beauty?"
However, before he could touch Su Xuan, his wrist was firmly grasped.
The man was stunned and looked at the man standing in the middle.
The man glanced at him and pressed his hand.
The man reacted, touched his nose and said, "Commander Wei, although we have a mission... ahem, on our side this time, there's no need to be so reserved!"
The other three reacted and condemned, "Come on, the boss has just recovered. If you upset him and make him sick again, be careful that the brothers will beat you up!"
"That's right, it's rare for the boss to come out with us, so please don't act like a demon!"
"You know the boss has never had any interest in sex—"
Before the last person finished speaking, they saw with their own eyes the boss they were talking about take a step forward.
The man has a handsome face and is elegant and extraordinary.
Su Xuan tilted his head back, staring blankly at the man standing in front of him.
The man also looked at him steadily, smiled with his lips curved, and said gently: "Finally found it."
That smile stunned the four men behind him, and they were a little confused.
Su Xuan and Yan Ning'an and Ye Yun behind him also fell into a daze.
For a moment, the entire corner was silent.
Everyone else was bewildered, except Gu Shuo, who remained calm and composed.
He raised his hand and touched Su Xuan's dazed little face. He looked at his current makeup and outfit and narrowed his eyes: "Ah Xuan, you are so cute tonight."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Su Xuan.
After the kiss, he raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction.
With four "cracks", the four statues behind him cracked.
Wait, wait...
——Is this their boss who is not interested in women? ! !
