Chapter 155: The Valuable Lin Qingxuan
After saying this, no matter how Wen Ling knocked on the door, there was no movement from inside.
She tried to use her magic power to blast open the stone wall, but the stone wall was thicker than she had imagined, and was connected to the mountain. If she blew it open with force, the mountain might collapse.
Wen Ling could only stop for the time being, and go back to tell the emperor about this matter, and ask the emperor to send professional people from the Ministry of Works to blow up the stone wall.
Just as Wen Ling was using her magic power to rush back, she met Gu Chenran who was coming to find her in a carriage.
Wen Ling braked suddenly, and the ground was almost sparked by her brakes. She could even hear a "squeak".
Green Sword, who was driving the carriage, quickly reined in the horse and applied the emergency brakes.
He shouted in surprise: "Madam, you are really here!"
When Gu Chenran heard the noise of someone calling Wen Ling outside, he quickly lifted the curtain of the carriage and stuck his head out. When he saw that Wen Ling was safe and sound, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Ling was tired from running, so she jumped onto the carriage and asked Gu Chenran curiously, "How did you know I was running this way? Or did I just happen to pass by?"
Gu Chenran said, "I felt you were here. I heard my father send someone to say that you were chasing the evil god. I felt you were here, so I rushed over here. I didn't expect you to be here."
Wen Ling was surprised: "When did you start to have this kind of telepathic connection with me?"
She was speaking jokingly, but Gu Chenran didn't respond.
Not only did he not respond to her, the expression on his face was very serious and he kept frowning.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Wen Ling asked when she noticed that he looked unhappy.
Gu Chenran took a deep breath and said, "Can you please not chase the Lord of the World alone in the future? He is very dangerous. Last time you were in a coma for fifteen days. This time you chased him out alone. If something unexpected happens outside and I am not by your side, what should I do?"
Only then did Wen Ling realize that Gu Chenran was angry with her.
Wen Ling explained: "Don't worry, I know what's going on. After fighting with him, I found that he was not as strong as last time, so I chased him out. Otherwise, I would not take the risk."
Gu Chenran didn't get a satisfactory answer, his face still looked solemn: "But what if this is his plan?
He first pretends to be defeated, tricks you into chasing him, and then leads you into the dangerous situation he has set up in advance.
What if you need help with something unexpected and I'm not by your side? “
Wen Ling nodded repeatedly. She stroked her chin and said, "You are right. If this is his plan, then I was careless. Next time, I will not chase him easily before I am well prepared."
Gu Chenran emphasized: "The main thing is to take me with you!"
"Yes! Okay!" Wen Ling nodded obediently.
Gu Chenran's tense expression finally relaxed, as if an iceberg had melted, and a spring breeze filled the carriage.
He pulled Wen Ling closer with concern, bringing the two of them closer and asked, "How are you? Are you okay?"
Wen Ling thought Gu Chenran was asking about what happened after he caught up with Lord of the World, so she recounted everything that the stone wall and Lord of the World had said.
After he finished speaking, he said angrily, "This Lord of the World is very cunning. Maybe he knew that he hid in here and I couldn't do anything to him, so he fled here. When we bring people to blow up the stone wall next time, he will have already run away."
Gu Chenran said helplessly: "I mean, how are you? Are you tired? Are you injured?"
Looking at Gu Chenran's concerned expression, Wen Ling felt her face getting hot for some reason.
She moved her butt back uncomfortably so that the distance between them was not so close.
Then he laughed and said, "I'm not tired. I have recovered a lot of mana now. I use mana for tracking, so I'm not very tired. It's just that my calves are a little sore. For ordinary people, running this distance is tiring, but for me, eh...?!"
As she was talking, Gu Chenran lifted her leg.
Gu Chenran put her legs on his knees and began to massage her calves with his hands.
His hands were long and strong, and he pressed on the sore spots on Wen Ling's calves each time. His massage technique was quite professional.
As he pressed, he said, "Let me help you. Don't ignore your body just because your power has increased. You ran so far in one breath. If you don't massage your legs, they will definitely be sore when you walk tomorrow."
Wen Ling: “…”
She felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to pull her feet back, but Gu Chenran held them tightly.
Gu Chenran's voice was irresistible: "Don't move, you have to press it now or it will be too late later."
Wen Ling scratched his head: "How can I be so delicate..."
Gu Chenran said without even looking up: "Anyway, you are the most important to me. Nothing can compare to you. I will feel bad if your legs are sore."
Wen Ling just felt hotter, and her face seemed to be even hotter.
She fanned herself with her hands and said, "Is there too much charcoal fire in this carriage? It seems a little hot."
Gu Chenran: "We came out in a hurry this time, and there was no charcoal fire in the carriage."
Wen Ling choked for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "That might be because I was running just now, so I felt a little hot when I stopped."
Gu Chenran looked up at Wen Ling, and Wen Ling could even see a smile in his eyes.
Gu Chenran asked: "Really?"
Wen Ling laughed: "Yeah, haha, yes, running dozens of kilometers in winter will make you hot, haha..."
"Then I'll open the window a little for ventilation." Gu Chenran considerately opened a crack in the carriage window.
Then he continued to lower his head to massage Wen Ling's calves, but when he lowered his head, he couldn't suppress the upward curve of his mouth.
He wondered if Wen Ling had finally come to his senses.
Wen Ling felt uncomfortable along the way, as if he was being tortured.
As soon as the carriage arrived at Prince Chen's Mansion, she quickly jumped off the carriage.
As if avoiding something, she asked first: "I'm tired from running. The Zhang family's banquet is too plain and tastes average. Can we have dinner at home?"
Gu Chenran waved his hand and said, "Ask the kitchen staff to serve dinner early."
After eating, Wen Ling completely forgot about the embarrassment that had just occurred in the carriage.
As soon as she returned to her yard, she felt a strong golden light hitting her forehead, and her cultivation level immediately increased significantly.
Oh, where did all these merits come from suddenly? Did something happen that she didn’t know about?
After thinking about it, she decided that it should be about Lin Qingxuan and Zhang Tianshi.
Is it so valuable to redress the grievances for Zhang Tianshi? How can there be so many merit points?
When the emperor summoned Wen Ling into the palace again the next day, she finally understood why.
It turned out that yesterday the emperor took Zhang Caiyun and the guests to the cellar where the statue was located, and then returned to the palace after restoring his appearance.
The Ministry of Justice was sent to conduct a carpet search of the cellar, and it was discovered that there was another cellar beneath the cellar.
In the second-floor cellar, there were hundreds of wooden statues packed in wooden boxes, as well as an account book and a pile of correspondence.
