I'm going to call someone.
Seeker...
What a strange and unexpectedly fitting word...
Jiang Jingyuan paused, said "hmm" softly, and put away the silver sachet without asking any more questions.
She raised her head and walked towards Baiwen Tower in the city with a clear goal.
Her identity was there, so instead of entering Baiwen Tower in Gyeonggi and worrying about getting into some inexplicable troubles and accidents, it would be safer to teleport from Baiwen Tower in Anqing City.
Seeing the attic from afar, standing still amidst the hustle and bustle of people, Jiang Jingyuan walked over. However, she had only taken two steps when a white hand suddenly reached out from behind, grabbed her right wrist, and yanked her back.
“Pah…”
The leaves rustled to the ground, and the tiny birds perched on the branches fluttered away in panic. The cheerful laughter faded, and the deserted alley and the bustling street outside seemed separated into two completely different worlds.
Hey, hey, hey, if you keep doing this I’m going to call for help… Jiang Jingyuan leaned his back against the wall, looking at the person in front of him expressionlessly, with a hint of speechlessness in his eyes.
The person in front of him was dressed in a fairy-like white dress. She raised her hand and lifted the curtain above her head. As the white veil fluttered, her gilded eyes narrowed and she looked at the silver-gleaming pearl flower and bird earrings on Jiang Jingyuan's ears, and a smile spread across her face.
As the round and plump pearls and copper beads collided, her red lips, faintly visible behind her ear tassels, parted and parted, and her casual voice reached Jiang Jingyuan's ears: "Your Highness, you made it so hard for me to find you..."
Bah, I use this magic weapon to protect against people like you who travel thousands of miles to seek revenge! Jiang Jingyuan muttered in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Qin Jiuyan took two steps back, and waited until Jiang Jingyuan had stabilized himself against the wall before she said with a smile, "Can't I just come to you, Your Highness, if I have nothing else to do?"
You say this as if we are very familiar with each other... Jiang Jingyuan did not answer, but just glanced at her and turned sideways to leave.
Unexpectedly or not, Qin Jiuyan did not stop her, but walked beside her, with a smile in his gilded eyes, and asked: "Your Highness, where are you going?"
What on earth do you want to do... Jiang Jingyuan stopped, turned his head to look at her, and asked speculatively: "You want the Plum Blossom Sleeve Arrow?"
Qin Jiuyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head: "No. That thing is most suitable for His Highness to hold."
Jiang Jingyuan snorted in his heart, thinking that your eyes at that time did not mean this.
Before she could say anything, Qin Jiuyan casually said, as if remembering something, "After you left, someone came and blew up the place without saying a word. Only after that did they ask about your whereabouts."
Jiang Jingyuan: "???"
It was not until this moment that Jiang Jingyuan remembered what he had forgotten——
Hua Si Miao!!!
She forgot about Hua Simiao!
Jiang Jingyuan was stunned for a long time, and then a thought popped up in his mind belatedly: "I wonder if Hua Simiao and Qin Jiuyan can escape unscathed..."
After a pause, she glanced at the person next to her calmly, did not ask, and continued walking forward.
Hua Simiao was probably fine. After all, Qin Jiuyan didn't come to her this time to take back the Plum Blossom Sleeve Arrow or to show off her power. If Hua Simiao was really seriously injured, she wouldn't have mentioned it in front of her for no reason.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jingyuan stopped again and turned to look at the person beside him. A speechless look appeared in his eyes again. He asked, "I'm going to Lin Country. Are you going too? If you have anything to talk to me about, just tell me directly."
Jiang Jingyuan was now certain that this guy must need her help with something, and it was most likely related to her taking the Plum Blossom Sleeve Arrow.
Qin Jiuyan suppressed the smile on his face and replied calmly and seriously, "It's not time yet."
After a pause, she smiled again, her eyes curved. Strands of sunlight filtered through the white veil, illuminating her face slightly, making her look like a banished celestial being. She said with a smile, "I gave the plum blossom sleeve arrow to Your Highness. Could you please do me a favor?"
Ha, even if your fight back then was like playing, it was still true that I got the Plum Blossom Sleeve Arrow myself, okay… Jiang Jingyuan complained inwardly, wanting to say “No” to her, but what she actually said was very calm: “Tell me what’s going on first.”
Jiang Jingyuan didn't like to get involved in unnecessary trouble, but she didn't refuse now. Instead, she was secretly thinking about finding out the truth when the time came.
This was not only because she couldn't beat Qin Jiuyan, so it was difficult to refuse on the spot, but also because...
She has already taken the Plum Blossom Sleeve Arrow, and the troubles that come with it will follow her closely. Even if she refuses Qin Jiuyan's request now, troubles will still find her.
Even if she gave up the Plum Blossom Sleeve Arrow now, the trouble would not be transferred to other places. What's more, she would not be willing to give up the magic weapon she had obtained.
In this case, she might as well prepare early and take the initiative as much as possible.
"Hmm..." Qin Jiuyan thought for a moment after hearing this for some reason, then looked at Jiang Jingyuan and said, "It's hard to say now, I'll tell you when the time comes."
After a pause, she narrowed her eyes with a smile and added, "Your Highness can consider it later."
Jiang Jingyuan listened, and her right eye twitched uncontrollably as if blinking. At this moment, she seemed to see some kind of fox, smiling and wagging its big tail, greeting her.
Jiang Jingyuan suddenly felt a little regretful. She almost subconsciously thought to herself, "What on earth is going on?... It can't be some catastrophic event that will put you in danger of death. That's why you're so secretive and just waiting to force me into it..."
"Still thinking about it... Look at the way you smile, just like those two liars from the Jiang family in the past. I don't think you will give me a chance to consider it when the time comes." Jiang Jingyuan muttered in his heart.
Even though his mind was full of thoughts, Jiang Jingyuan remained calm and composed on the surface. He nodded slightly and said, "Yeah."
"Can I go now?" Seeing that Qin Jiuyan didn't say anything else, Jiang Jingyuan's dark eyes glanced at her casually, looked at the layers of attics in front of him, and asked.
However, after waiting for a while, she still didn't get a reply from Qin Jiuyan. She frowned in her heart, but turned her head with a cold expression to look around.
But when she turned her head, before she could see the expression on the face of the man in white next to her, she saw a pair of white hands reaching out to her neck.
“!!!”
Jiang Jingyuan's pupils shrank instantly, and he stepped back subconsciously: "You..."
Before she could sort out a useful idea from the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Jiang Jingyuan was unable to dodge and saw a pair of hands lightly hanging a copper bell on the longevity lock on her necklace.
“?” Jiang Jingyuan was stunned.
A thin white veil fluttered, obscuring everything in sight. Jiang Jingyuan tilted her head as she brushed past the man in white, who looked like a banished immortal. A cold voice, tinged with obvious laziness and laughter, reached her ears: "I think I might need to find some other reward for you, Your Highness..."
The white gauze, which was transparent in the sunlight, fell lightly, revealing the prosperous and lively street scene in front. Jiang Jingyuan stood there in a daze, not yet coming to his senses.
As people walked past her in groups, Jiang Jingyuan blinked and reached for the copper bell hanging from her neck, which seemed incompatible with her necklace, yet somehow strangely harmonious. The surface of the bell was not completely smooth, and it felt slightly grainy and ancient when touched by her fingertips.
Jiang Jingyuan knew that this copper bell could be used to contact Qin Jiuyan.
When Jiang Jingyuan regained consciousness, she realized that she seemed to have sighed in her heart just now. Jiang Jingyuan was a little puzzled as to what was going on with this sudden and lingering heavy emotion in her heart.
But she didn't think about it anymore, she had more important things to do now.
Jiang Jingyuan walked through the bustling crowd and entered the bustling Baiwen Building in front. On the second floor of the building, he handed the clearance disc to the person in charge of verification. At the same time, Jiang Jingyuan silently sighed that Baiwen Building really knew how to do business.
…………
Jiang Jingyuan chose a teleportation array that led directly to a city near the capital of Lin Kingdom. She closed her eyes and waited for a moment. When she opened her eyes again, she had already arrived at her destination.
After walking out of the teleportation array, Jiang Jingyuan handed the small wooden sign specially made by Baiwen Building to the person who came forward. He then walked around the Baiwen Building slowly and went down the stairs.
——If the people in the building didn’t look different, she would have thought the transmission had failed.
The layout of the two Baiwen Buildings is exactly the same, without any difference. I don’t know how they managed to do it.
She didn't know if it was because there were so many people during the Chinese New Year, or if Baiwen Building was just so lively and crowded on weekdays. Jiang Jingyuan looked at the dense crowds of people around her, sniffing the scent of various perfumes. She felt twisted and uncomfortable in her heart, and dodged the crowd tiredly to avoid being bumped into, and finally walked slowly to the door.
“There’s a space formation set up in this building, but it’s still so crowded that there’s no place to stand…” Jiang Jingyuan thought silently, feeling that his interest in traveling around the world had suddenly faded a lot.
As soon as Jiang Jingyuan walked out of Baiwen Tower, two people squeezed in front of him.
They were sweating as they jostled in the crowd. A man on the left said with a smile, "Miss, you just got off the teleportation array. Is this your first time in Lin Country? Do you need a guide? Locals are definitely reliable!" The man on the right pushed him away, smiled at Jiang Jingyuan, and said, "I'm a local. I've been a guide for over ten years! I'll be your guide and you can travel around the capital of Lin Country!"
"You!" The man on the left, who was pushed and staggered, glared at him and cursed, "Get out of here! How dare you steal my business!"
The man on the left kept smiling at Jiang Jingyuan, but when he turned to look at him, his eyes were fierce and he said softly, "Why do I steal your business? You are too arrogant. We all want to see who this lady chooses."
He pretended to be reasonable and kind, but there was a hint of gnashing of teeth in his voice.
"Damn! Are you looking for a fight?!" the man on the left shouted and rushed towards him.
The two of them immediately started scratching and biting each other, and were pushed apart by the bustling crowd. After being pushed apart, the two panting people looked at each other and started fighting again.
At the same time, another person bowed and nodded as he emerged from the crowd, approaching Jiang Jingyuan. He said with a smile, "Looking for a guide? I've lived in Gyeonggi for over thirty years! Three generations of my family have been guides! I'm definitely a reliable choice!"
"What's three generations up?! My five-year-old has been a guide for a year and a half!" Another one squeezed forward, raised his head towards Jiang Jingyuan and said, "Not only that, I can also ride an ox and a horse!"
"You bastard! You're asking for a beating!"
The two men also fought each other.
Jiang Jingyuan: "..." Is this the Lin Kingdom...
Did they have such a keen eye that they saw that she was an outsider, or did Baiwenlou have such a business that leaked information about outsiders to them...
Jiang Jingyuan walked past them with an expressionless face.
Looking at the street scene in front of her, which was dozens of times more lively than the capital of Yuan Kingdom, she paused, suppressed the urge to go home, and stepped forward to squeeze into the crowd.
In fact, even in Yuan Kingdom, several cities near the capital are far more lively than the capital. Because there are no Baiwen Towers in the capitals of various countries, the area where the Baiwen Towers are located in the capital is always extremely lively all year round, and the prosperity is far greater than that in the capital.
Amidst the noisy chatter, Jiang Jingyuan seemed to hear a sweet voice calling out:
"Shubao! Shubao Shubao——"
"Here, here! Look over here—"
What the hell… With so many people here, if I shout like that, can the person being shouted at really hear me? Jiang Jingyuan didn't understand what was going on. Without even turning his head, he just kept walking forward with the crowd.
