The ancient martial arts world has experienced many wars in history. Because the mysterious Eastern power was already famous, the ladder to heaven was still there at that time, and there were several cases of monks ascending to heaven.
In ancient Europe, witches and alchemists repeatedly invaded the ancient martial arts world in order to spy on the secret of becoming immortal, and several large-scale, devastating battles occurred.
Of course, this is history that ordinary people don’t know, and the archives at that time were all sealed as highly confidential by various countries.
Xiao Yunting became responsible for monitoring the ancient martial arts world and developing weapons to control the power of ancient martial artists. Only then did he learn about these things and thus entered a world that violated scientific common sense.
Dada.
His pen strokes fell on the paper, and he didn't come back to his senses until someone approached him.
"Did you finish washing?"
He turned his head slightly and saw a girl wiping her wet long hair with a towel at the door. His eyes fell on her naked feet. He subconsciously stood up to get her a pair of slippers, and then squatted down.
"I can do it myself." When Ye Lan's ankle was held by his dry, warm hand, she felt uncomfortable for a moment and wanted to dodge. She lowered her eyes and said in a calm voice, "You don't have to do this."
She is not one of those delicate girls in the tour group who cannot carry anything on their shoulders or lift anything with their hands, nor does she need her lover to squat down and bend over to put on her shoes and tie their laces for her.
But Xiao Yunting didn't let go. Instead, he lifted her foot and put it into the slippers. When he changed his hand to hold the other foot, his deep voice rang out in the room, "It's not that you need it, it's that I want to put it on for you."
Ever since he saw a couple from the same tour group on the street today and the boy was tying the girl's shoelaces, he had wanted to do the same.
Ye Lan didn't even hold on to the door frame, but just kept staring at his careful and orderly movements with her eyes downcast. Seeing her slender ankle being pinched in his slender big hands, and then his shoes being carefully put on, a strange feeling arose in her heart.
She has learned strong self-care abilities since she was young and can even heal herself if her internal organs are injured. Now she is like a babbling child who knows nothing, being held in the palm of the hand of the person in front of her and cared for properly.
It was clearly just a small action, but it made her heart soften, as if she had been dipped in a jar of honey, and even her breath tasted sweet.
Only after the other shoe was put on did Xiao Yunting stand up and made a fair assessment with a deadpan expression, "It feels good."
It looked like some mechanical testing was going on.
Ye Lan raised an eyebrow, leaning against the door frame and looking at him, nodding seriously: "Well, if you like it, I will cooperate more in the future."
Anyway, she is the beneficiary and does not suffer any loss.
Xiao Yunting was finally amused by her appearance. The cold facial lines that were always on his face when he was working softened, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he raised his hand to rub the ends of her hair.
This time, Ye Lan turned his head away and said with a smile: "Wash your hands. Just because you don't have mysophobia on me doesn't mean I don't."
It’s not okay to touch her hair right after putting on her shoes, even if it’s her own feet.
Xiao Yunting had no choice but to go to the bathroom.
When I returned to the study, Ye Lan was sitting opposite the desk, looking down at his phone.
Xiao Yunting walked over and could tell at a glance that she had not touched or looked at his documents. This kind of measured respect should have made people happy, but at this moment it made him feel a little uncomfortable.
So he took the initiative to briefly tell her the information about the black market that his subordinates had investigated, and handed her the specific documents that had been faxed over.
Ye Lan took it and looked at it, "Someone is watching Feitiandu."
She came to the same conclusion as Xiao Yunting, and then continued, "Ji's illness has always been treated by Wu Xingxiao. I don't know the specific cause, but the witch clan does possess the power of a curse. A curse that can kill people instantly."
From this point of view, it does fit Ji's unknown genetic disease.
"The history is too long and difficult to trace back, and it takes time to read the files." Xiao Yunting did not hold much hope for this clue. After all, it was just a guess.
"Well, I'll have someone go look for it at the library first." Ye Lan lowered his head and sent the message out. He didn't dwell on it too much afterwards, his attention now focused on the black market right before his eyes. "The black market is spreading the news that Peach Blossom Island has the elixir of immortality, and there's also a mysterious person who has contacted Huang Weiren. Now this black market allows ordinary people to visit for only 500 yuan. It seems this place is very interesting."
There aren't many places that can interest her, and the black market is one of them.
"How much do you know about this black market?" She suddenly looked up and asked Xiao Yunting beside her.
Xiao Yunting paused, memories surging back to him. A blur of bloody scenes flashed before his eyes. He closed his eyes gently before calming himself and speaking, "Not much. The black market appeared earlier than the Hunter District, and the person in charge behind the scenes is unknown. This area has been following the Hunter District like a maggot on its tarsal bones."
Hearing this, Ye Lan was a little surprised. "Wasn't the previous leader of the black market killed by the current leader of the Hunter District?"
Afterwards, the black market came under the management of the Hunter District and underwent several major purges.
These are the information previously provided by the special management department.
However, Xiao Yunting now shook his head and said in a cold voice: "What was killed back then was just a substitute. That person has been around all these years."
He manipulates the black market operations, and even Xiao's information intelligence network cannot catch any clues. He is currently the top target of Xiao's hunting.
"I didn't expect it to be such a big fish." Ye Lan could clearly hear the hatred in the man's voice. This guy, who even he was helpless against, was indeed much more difficult to deal with than the hunter district leader who could be caught with a sack. "Let's go check it out tonight."
She raised her arm and took the man's hand.
