The royal blue embroidered Tang suit is as gorgeous and seductive as ever.
Yi Zan just stood on the empty foggy ghost city street, inexplicably exuding a kind of strange harmony.
The style was somewhat similar to Yizhan that she had just seen in the painting, but also clearly different.
Jiang Xuxu could roughly guess the current situation.
These two people probably came here to watch the live broadcast of the competition.
The spiritual project founded by Yizhan is a project that is deeply tied to the underworld.
Being able to be bound to the underworld and not even be controlled by it at all would probably be impossible without some strong connections.
Jiang Xuxu thought that the man who had inexplicably trapped her in this ghost market must be Yi Zan’s “relationship”.
I just don't know what the specific relationship between these two people is.
But any relationship is not that important to her now.
The important thing is that these two people delayed her competition.
"If you know him, can you ask him to let me leave here first?
There is a time limit for the first match of the competition. If I don’t return after the time limit, I might be eliminated.”
As for who the scroll will be sold to and who not, we can discuss it after the competition.
If all else fails, these two can just have a fight here first.
Jiang Xuxu said this to Yi Zan. After all, compared to this man who appeared out of nowhere and had a spooky aura about him, she and Yi Zan were at least acquaintances.
Yizhan listened to her and nodded. He looked at her soothingly for a second, then looked at the man and opened his mouth.
"Did you hear that? She told you to get out."
Jiang Xuxu: ...
I didn't, you're talking nonsense.
She was clearly asking very politely just now.
The man in black clothes obviously didn't care about Yi Zan's attitude. He looked at Jiang Xuxu and asked her,
"What do you want?"
Jiang Xuxu opened his mouth and was about to say something when a golden light suddenly enveloped him from behind.
The brilliant golden light also dispelled a lot of the green mist that filled the ghost market.
I felt a familiar breath suddenly coming out from the space behind me that seemed to be torn apart.
Jiang Xuxu's eyes lit up, and without even turning around, she called out a name in a clear voice.
"Chu Beihe!"
As she spoke, she turned around suddenly and almost bumped into Chu Beihe's approaching arms.
Jiang Xuxu didn't seem surprised at all, her almond eyes slightly curved as she looked at him, "You're here."
Chu Beihe looked down at her, and after making sure she was okay, he nodded at her.
"Well, I'll pick you up."
After saying that, he looked at Yi Zan and the man in black, and finally his sight fell on the man in black.
"She's still in the game. If you have anything to say, please talk after the game."
When the black-clothed man saw him speak, his eyes fell on Jiang Xuxu. After a while, his tone finally became more ups and downs.
"Is it her?"
For some reason, Jiang Xuxu felt a little displeased with the other person's look just now.
Instead of leaving with Chu Beihe immediately, she pulled out the half-rolled scroll and threw it over before the two people on the opposite side could react.
"Yizhan."
Yi Zan was a little surprised when he received the thing unexpectedly.
Then Jiang Xuxu said to the man in black clothes,
"I think what he said just now is right. Based on citizens' own portrait rights, this painting should be returned to its original owner."
He looked at Yi Zan again and added, "I will ask you for compensation when I return."
Although the property should be returned to its original owner, it is impossible to give it away for free.
At best, she was choosing between the two "buyers" the one with whom she had a better relationship.
Even if Chu Beihe had not shown up, she had only intended to give the scroll to Yi Zan at first, just because the other party had brought her from the competition venue to this ghost market because of a disagreement.
Yi Zan met Jiang Xuxu's gaze, her fox eyes slightly raised, and a smile that she understood appeared on her androgynous face.
"Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss."
The man in black looked at him coldly. Although his expression was still cold, he didn't look angry.
Jiang Xuxu ignored him and followed Chu Beihe out of the ghost market space.
After stepping out of the space gap, he returned to the original ghost market.
The ghost market is bustling with people, it seems like the market is about to close.
Jiang Xuxu almost immediately understood why Chu Beihe brought her back to this ghost market instead of going directly back to the venue.
The rules of the competition require that you successfully redeem your own items and return to the venue to pass the level.
If Chu Beihe took her back directly, it would be suspected of "cheating".
Even if it's not cheating, it's inevitable that someone will have something to say.
In these matters, Chu Beihe didn't want her to be involved in any controversy.
"Can you go back by yourself?" Chu Beihe asked her.
Jiang Xuxu nodded.
It’s just a matter of reopening a ghost gate leading to the venue, no big deal.
Chu Beihe stepped aside.
Jiang Xuxu was standing in front of the open space at the exit, holding up a black talisman with two fingers.
"Yinshan borrows the order, hundreds of ghosts compete to cross, the Three Pure Ghost Gates, open!"
A black talisman flew out, and the ghost energy belonging to the Yinshan Ghost King emanated from the talisman. In front of his eyes, there seemed to be several strands of yin energy that seemed to have turned into substance, separated to the left and right, and pulled at the same time.
The space in front of him seemed to be pulled open, and the ghost gate suddenly appeared in the pulled space.
At this time, the Ghost King far away in Yinshan seemed to have sensed something, and he opened his eyes slightly and frowned.
"Who stole my ghost energy?"
…
At the Ghost Market, Chu Beihe looked at Jiang Xuxu, somewhat surprised that she had used the ghost energy of the Yinshan Ghost King to reopen the Ghost Gate.
As far as he knew, her transaction with the Yinshan Ghost King should have only happened that once.
Moreover, the Yinshan Ghost King Order had already been used by her.
As if knowing the doubt in his eyes, Jiang Xuxu cleared his throat and said calmly,
"I took some of it from the previous fight and stored it in the talisman."
I just thought that maybe it might be useful in the future.
Now, it comes in handy.
Chu Beihe: ...
After a moment of silence, he nodded, his tone of approval revealing an imperceptible fondness, "Very smart."
Jiang Xuxu immediately smiled at him, turned around, and was about to step into the ghost gate.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and asked him,
"By the way, I haven't had time to ask, who was that man in black just now?"
Although the Yin energy was deliberately restrained, the oppressive feeling was even stronger than that of the Yinshan Ghost King. She estimated that the other party was of no ordinary background.
Chu Beihe was silent for half a second when she asked, but he still chose to tell her the truth.
"He is the King of Hell."
Jiang Xuxu: ...
So she just offended the King of Hell? ?
…
If I had known this earlier, I would not have given the scroll to Yi Zan.
She shouldn't have interfered in the matter between Yi Zan and the King of Hell.
However, even if we don't want to offend him, we have already offended him. If there is no other way, let Yi Zhan solve it.
After all, it was his portrait that caused this trouble.
Chu Beihe originally wanted her not to worry about the King of Hell, but before he even opened his mouth, Jiang Xuxu had already let it go.
"Forget it. Let's wait until the competition is over before we discuss anything else."
As she spoke, she waved at him gently, then turned around and stepped into the ghost gate.
As the gates of hell closed, her figure disappeared from sight.
