I thought you were scolding me.
"Oh..." Xu Qinglin responded in her mind and stopped talking.
Hey, you seem very disappointed... So you really wanted me to snatch that magic weapon just now... Jiang Jingyuan was speechless for a while.
This guy really enjoys watching the fun and making trouble.
Jiang Jingyuan felt more and more that if he really believed her lies, he would be in big trouble.
Just as she was about to continue her stroll through the night market, Xu Qinglin suddenly asked in her mind, "Will you only pick up artifacts that no one has discovered from now on?"
Xu Qinglin felt that he might have been isolated from the world for too long and could not understand the thoughts of people today.
She thought about it carefully and found that when she was alone before, she was not as cautious as Jiang Jingyuan.
Wasn't that what everyone in her time did? When they encountered an opportunity and didn't encounter a clearly formidable opponent, they would decisively seize it. If they could seize it, they would seize it. If they couldn't, they would flee or die.
As for the subsequent troubles and pursuits, who doesn’t have a few enemies in this world?
When two people meet on a narrow road, if you can survive, you survive; if you can't, you die.
"I don't want to die." Jiang Jingyuan's face was calm, and he answered her somewhat irrelevantly.
If it were an ordinary magical weapon, she would have grabbed it. Or if it was a special magical weapon like the Blood Seal, Jiang Jingyuan would have fought to get it. But now, the magical weapon before her was a national treasure. It was unusual, but not so special that Jiang Jingyuan couldn't refuse it.
Moreover, if Jiang Jingyuan dares to take over the person who can carry such a magical weapon, no matter whether the weapon is her own or obtained from somewhere for various reasons, he will have to bear the invisible price of this magical weapon and the girl.
Jiang Jingyuan didn't know who that girl was, nor did he know what story was behind her and that magic weapon. Jiang Jingyuan didn't think that he could afford the unknown price at the moment.
But she would not explain these thoughts in too much detail to Xu Qinglin.
The decision of whether to do something is in her hands.
After a pause, Jiang Jingyuan added in his mind, "I only want the Blood Seal. I'll see about other magical instruments. I can't just go looking for death for no reason, right? Otherwise, you'll become someone else's captive."
She still couldn't let Xu Qinglin feel too disappointed, otherwise, one day in the future, when Xu Qinglin had another opportunity, he might decisively choose to terminate the contract with her and run away, leaving her no chance to say a single sweet word.
Xu Qinglin said "Oh" and this time he really didn't say anything else.
Jiang Jingyuan was immediately satisfied and continued to visit the second half of the night market which he had not yet finished.
Walking and stopping, in the nightclub Changlong illuminated by orange lights, Jiang Jingyuan once again saw the two young men who were in front of the rabbit stall.
They seemed to have reconciled. The boy holding the rabbit in the basket looked around and called out "A Shui" in surprise from time to time. The girl who was walking slowly heard the call, glanced at him, and said "What's so strange about that", but still walked towards the boy.
Seeing that he could no longer make out where they came from or what they were up to, Jiang Jingyuan simply stopped paying attention to them. He immersed himself in looking at the stalls on both sides of the street, and unknowingly walked past them.
When they reached the end of the night market, Jiang Jingyuan knew what the strange thing the rabbit stall vendor had mentioned was.
Jiang Jingyuan slowed down his pace and looked around. Most of the items here were natural treasures like spiritual stones and spiritual springs, and there were also some that were said to be the tears of a spirit fox...
What about the fox spirit tears? If they were real fox spirit tears, they would have been snatched up by people like crazy, and there would be no place to sell them at the night market... Jiang Jingyuan became less and less interested the more he looked at them, but he was not disappointed either. No one would expect to encounter any rare items at a night market.
"Hey, are you guys telling me whether this is true or not?"
Suddenly, a lot of chattering sounded from deep inside the night market. Jiang Jingyuan saw that several small stalls in front of him were surrounded by a group of men and women.
"Well, with so many people saying it, it must be true. Otherwise, why would anyone still be going there?"
"That's hard to say. It's happened before. People rushed over in droves, but in the end, there was nothing. It was all fake!"
"But this time, everyone who has come back has passed!"
What are they talking about... Jiang Jingyuan listened for a while but couldn't understand what they were talking about. He turned around and left without interest.
Suddenly, someone saw Jiang Jingyuan walking back, smiled brightly, and said, "Hey, young lady, look at our..."
Jiang Jingyuan: "!!!"
Jiang Jingyuan frowned and quickened his pace as he walked back.
Damn, this is such a familiar beginning.
Five days later.
Jiang Jingyuan couldn't help showing a heavy expression, and walked into Baiwenlou in the capital of Yuguo with firm steps.
"Yuguo... it's so scary..."
Jiang Jingyuan stood on the huge teleportation array in a daze, and couldn't help but think again that Yuguo was really not a place where she could stay for long.
On the second floor of Baiwen Tower, the teleportation arrays carved into the ground slowly began to glow. Standing outside the arrays, several men and women dressed in matching gold and white attire flashed identical smiles at the people within, saying softly, "My fellow immortals, the destination of this teleportation array is west of Yanzhi City, the capital of Chen Nation..."
"Yuanqing City."
Almost at the same time as they finished speaking——
brush--
Invisible spiritual power suddenly surged, and huge teleportation arrays shone brightly, instantly drowning out the men and women in various clothes standing on the teleportation arrays.
…………
Jiang Jingyuan gritted his teeth and squeezed his eyes shut, feeling dizzy and bewildered. Why was Baiwen Tower's teleportation technology so terrible this time?!
Is it true that the person in charge hasn't been possessed by Xu Qinglin?!
Or was it that the smooth transmissions she had experienced previously were just isolated exceptions, and that the constant bumps and jolts now were the norm?
"Plop!" In the gray haze, the space was suddenly torn open by an invisible force, and a huge magic circle appeared in the air.
A goose yellow figure appeared out of thin air on the huge magic circle, as if it was a weak and powerless bird caught by an invisible hand. As soon as the hand loosened, Jiang Jingyuan fell to the ground from mid-air with a "bang".
In a small open space behind the grass, a white hand fiercely pulled out a weed as tall as an adult's calf. A girl in a goose yellow dress supported herself on the ground with her right hand and slowly raised her waist.
So disgusting...
Jiang Jingyuan knelt on the grass with a pale face and a dizzy feeling in his head.
After being stunned for a long time, she took a deep breath of the air flowing around her, barely suppressing the nausea and dizziness lingering in her heart.
Jiang Jingyuan raised his head, looked left and right, and suddenly his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
This is, sent to her again -
What a hell of a place!!!
Yes or no……
"It's not me." Xu Qinglin's voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
Jiang Jingyuan's expression froze for a moment, and then she responded in her mind with anger, "Of course I believe it wasn't you! I was thinking about that Baiwenlou. It's so disheartening! I spent so much money, and Baiwenlou sent me to this remote and desolate place?!"
Jiang Jingyuan was heartbroken. "Where's the city we were promised? Where is there a city here?! All I see is thick gray fog and weeds... This teleportation location is ridiculously wrong!"
Xu Qinglin didn't react much after hearing this, and just said "Oh" calmly.
Jiang Jingyuan frowned, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
But the next moment...
Xu Qinglin casually said in her mind, "I thought you were cursing me in your heart just now."
Jiang Jingyuan: "!!!"
"No." Jiang Jingyuan immediately denied it, saying with a serious face, "How could you make such a low-level mistake? When I saw your notes before, I knew that someone who could research the method of immortality and make some progress must be a very rigorous and serious person, and would never make such a low-level mistake. Even if there were new arrangements, such a serious and rigorous person would definitely discuss it with me in advance and would never act on his own!"
Finally, she added: "I believe you."
Xu Qinglin listened, and while looking at his own reflection in the bronze mirror in front of him from within the magical killing realm of the silver sachet, he nodded and said in Jiang Jingyuan's mind, "You're right."
“……?”
Jiang Jingyuan's pale face gradually turned red, and her expression twisted for a moment. She thought to herself, "In this regard, you and Qin Jiuyan will definitely get along well."
But she didn't say anything. She feared Xu Qinglin would find fault with her. Jiang Jingyuan took two deep breaths of the damp air, mingled with the smell of earth and vegetation, then slowly stood up and looked around.
Jiang Jingyuan looked up from a thick, gray fog that was almost tangible. The mist faintly revealed the tall silhouettes of trees ahead. It was quiet, with only the rustling of Jiang Jingyuan's cautious and cautious steps. There was no sound of insects or birds, let alone the movement of other living beings.
Only at times like this could Jiang Jingyuan truly appreciate Xu Qinglin's kindness. At least in situations like this, Xu Qinglin could chat with her and prevent her from falling into the quagmire of unknown panic.
"It seems that this time, Baiwen Tower really made a transmission error." Jiang Jingyuan calmed down and thought, "The Baiwen Tower's own people shouldn't make such a low-level mistake. Is it because the transmission was interfered with by other beings?"
"Were all the people who were teleported together at that time just randomly teleported to different places, or were they all premeditatedly sent here together by others?"
This question is very important.
This concerns whether those who interfered with the transmission were only targeting Baiwen Tower, or had other purposes. This concerns whether those who interfered with the transmission would attack those who used the transmission array in Baiwen Tower.
Jiang Jingyuan pondered this and asked Xu Qinglin, "Were you able to sense whether the transmission was interrupted? Also, do you know where this place is?"
Xu Qinglin spoke calmly, not feeling the slightest bit nervous because of the sudden incident. He remained nonchalant. "Now that I think about it, there was indeed a momentary pause during the transmission, but it quickly continued. Someone must have distorted the transmission destination of Baiwen Tower at that time."
"As for this place..." Xu Qinglin pondered for a moment and said, "There are many deep forests shrouded in thick fog, but there is only one that is most famous..."
What is it... Jiang Jingyuan waited nervously for her next words.
Xu Qinglin said slowly, word by word:
"Grandma Lin."
Jiang Jingyuan didn't feel familiar with the name, but it unexpectedly led her to think further...
She suddenly thought of a way to roughly judge who those people who interfered with the transmission of Baiwen Tower were targeting.
