Chapter 256: Where is Auntie Going?
It seemed that there was no room for resistance to Chen Zhizhi's words. Su Jianbai was silent, and after moving his lips for a long time, he accepted his fate and confessed.
"Okay... six."
The two of them argued back and forth, neither of them willing to give in.
Wen Yu put two fingers together and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that the two of them were even more noisy than the countless living and dead souls on the Naihe Bridge.
Seeing this, Yu Chang silently waved his sleeves to separate Chen Zhizhi and Su Jianbai.
Immediately, both of them shrank their necks and looked at Yu Chang, not daring to say anything else.
Wen Yu paused, his eyes swept across the people around him, and suddenly he felt inexplicably in a good mood.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Chen Zhizhi and Su Jianbai immediately turned around and looked at Wen Yuzheng with blinking eyes.
"Ahem." Wen Yu coughed lightly, then suppressed his smile. "Although your cultivation is not very good, you have countless magical weapons."
Casting an inquiring gaze towards Su Jianbai, Wen Yu said truthfully, "If you really want to run, there's no place you can't run to."
After saying that, Wen Yu's gaze shifted back and forth between Su Jianbai and Chen Zhizhi. "Why are you teasing her?"
Su Jianbai's eyes flickered, and he didn't intend to answer Wen Yu's question.
When Wen Yu saw that he kept silent, she did not intend to pursue the matter. Instead, she looked as if she understood everything, raised her eyebrows and nodded indifferently.
"She was the one who said she must catch me! I was just..." Seeing the colors on Wen Yu's face changing mysteriously, Su Jianbai suddenly became restless.
He held his tail and was about to refute Wen Yu, but he seemed to realize that it was inappropriate after he had already said it.
In this way, wouldn't he be admitting that he was teasing Chen Zhizhi?
But……
Su Jianbai was speechless as he stole a glance at Chen Zhizhi who had his back turned to the side.
That's not what he meant...
At least even if he had some intentions of teasing her at first, he didn't think so later. He was just...
"You know Miss Huang, I've only caught you three times..." Chen Zhizhi murmured in a muffled voice, and because she was facing away from everyone, no one could see the expression on her face.
There was no resentment or blame, but Chen Zhizhi's voice was filled with inexplicable loneliness, and in the end it was even so low that it was difficult to hear clearly.
"You...I..." Su Jianbai's breathing stopped and then alarm bells rang in his heart.
The little Taoist made an agreement with him that each could do it based on his own ability, and he could hide or run. If he was caught by her seven times, he would be at her disposal.
This has happened three times now.
If today is included, it has been four times.
He had promised the young Taoist priest and had no intention of going back on his word.
But whether it was the third time or the fourth time, these were all matters between him and the young Taoist priest and had nothing to do with others.
Su Jianbai glanced at Wen Yu with an unpleasant look.
Even her aunt who appeared out of nowhere shouldn't interfere.
His mind raced, and he turned to Wen Yu and said angrily, "You don't have to try to trick me!"
After these words were spoken, Wen Yu and Yu Chang were both confused and didn't know what to say.
When did she try to trick Su Jianbai?
The smile on Wen Yu's lips deepened, and the expression between her brows softened.
It's not that she can't see through Su Jianbai's tricks, but when she thinks about why he does that and then looks at the unconscious Chen Zhizhi, Wen Yu can't help laughing.
If we keep going around like this, I don’t know how long it will take.
But then again, Su Jianbai comes from the Su Fox Clan, and Chen Zhizhi is half-demon, so they... do have a lot of time.
Whatever is not said today can be left for tomorrow.
There is ample time.
Perhaps it was because Wen Yu laughed too recklessly, but Su Jianbai raised his eyebrows and said angrily in a vicious tone:
"Anyway, we've already known each other's names. I'm telling you, Qingqiu and Yousu won't let you go!"
"Hmm..." Wen Yu pretended to be surprised and said to Yu Chang beside her in a slightly exaggerated tone, "So it's the son of Qingqiu and Yousu family."
Yu Chang smiled and nodded cooperatively to Wen Yu, "Yeah."
Wen Yu raised his chin with one hand, rubbed it back and forth with his fingertips, and nodded seriously.
In this way, Su Jianbai is not only the youngest son of the Su family, but also has the blood of both the Qingqiu and Yousu clans.
She had heard about the marriage between the two tribes before, but she didn't expect that this precious youngest son would appear before her by such a coincidence.
"You, you guys!"
Su Jianbai was furious when he saw Wen Yu and Yu Chang's calm demeanor, but he couldn't say anything that could truly intimidate him.
For a moment, he could only stamp his feet in anxiety.
Chen Zhizhi waved his sleeve to block the dust raised by Su Jianbai, gave him a displeased look, but did not say a word to him.
As a result, Su Jianbai became even more anxious and felt like he was on edge.
Wen Yu looked at his ferocious appearance, which seemed very powerful but posed no real threat.
Such a familiar demeanor made her think of an old friend.
That guy is also like this, making a lot of noise and doing little, just like Su Jianbai.
I wonder if now, after a hundred years, he has calmed down a little and become more stable?
Wen Yu pondered for a moment, and the name that was buried in his memory but never forgotten emerged from his mind -
Wen Yanzi.
She suddenly wanted to know whether Wen Yanzi was doing well now.
When she first woke up from the Spring Temple and decided to go to the underworld alone, she asked General Huang to send Wen Yanzi to Cangling Immortal Mountain to learn from a master.
This was the place she had thought of for Wen Yanzi early in the morning.
Up to now, she and Wen Yanzi have not seen each other for hundreds of years.
The vivid eyes and eyebrows of Wen Yanzi in his memory overlapped with the tender face of Su Jianbai at present, and Wen Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of realization.
Cangling Immortal Mountain is an island on the sea, located in the extreme west. It is very far away from Zhongzhou Gouwu Mountain, and it is inconvenient for her to change her route to see Wen Yanzi.
Wen Yu thought to herself that once this matter was settled, it wouldn't be too late for her to make a special trip to Cangling Fairy Mountain to see him.
I wonder if he can win the favor of the Immortal Lord Cangling and whether his cultivation and magic skills can be improved?
After some thought, Wen Yu completely forgot about Su Jianbai in front of her, and only focused on whether Wen Yanzi was eating well and wearing warm clothes.
The most important thing is, will Zangling Fairy Mountain have his favorite sashimi and sushan?
No one made a sound in the cave, and only the dripping water made the silence even more apparent.
Wen Yu's silence was seen by everyone, and everyone had their own thoughts.
Yu Chang's expression remained calm, and he was willing to guard Wen Yu just like he had done countless times at the Rebirth Inn.
As long as Wen Yu wants to do it, he will try his best to do it. If it is something Wen Yu wants, he will always try his best to find it.
Taihao and Danqing, who were a few steps behind, stood beside each other.
The former was as detached from the world as a solitary orchid in a valley, gazing at Wen Yu thoughtfully.
The latter's face was full of excitement and curiosity, and his inquiring gaze was fixed on Wen Yu, which was a stark contrast to Tai Hao.
Su Jianbai huddled to the side, holding his tail, slowing down his breathing as much as possible to reduce his presence. He wanted to take advantage of Wen Yu's distraction to escape.
But when he saw Chen Zhizhi glaring at him, he lost his temper.
Chen Zhizhi waited until Su Jianbai calmed down, then turned his head and glanced at everyone present one by one, and finally his eyes fell on his aunt.
She had just been thinking over and over in her mind what her aunt meant by asking these questions. Could it be related to the recent chaos?
"Aunt." Thinking of this, Chen Zhizhi simply called out, "Zhizhi, I'm sorry to bother you. I have a favor to ask."
The sweet and crisp voice was like the sound of a spring, calling back Wen Yu's mind which seemed to be wandering in the mountain stream.
Wen Yu blinked, then turned to look at the source of the voice as if waking from a dream. "It's not really a request, but why not tell me what you're talking about?"
Not to mention her past friendship with Zhibai and Chen Mian, even if it was just Zhizhi who entrusted her with something, she would not go against it.
Chen Zhizhi turned his eyes, glanced at Su Jianbai beside him, and then looked at Wen Yu with extreme concentration and seriousness.
"Aunt, Jiangyang Prefecture has been plagued by evil spirits and ghosts lately, and many strange things have happened."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Yu's face immediately became stern and serious, and even Yu Chang beside her listened attentively.
"The people are deeply troubled and miserable." When saying this, Chen Zhizhi's eyebrows were furrowed into winding streams, and the melancholy hidden in them was lingering and difficult to dissipate.
"I've been tracking them down all the way, but I haven't found any clues. I can only subdue some of the mischievous little demons."
Chen Zhizhi untied the treasure bottle from her waist and showed it to Wen Yu and Yu Chang. As she flicked the jade wall of the treasure bottle, intertwined wails echoed through it.
These were the goblins and monsters she had captured along the way.
"It was only after I met the fox...Su Jianbai that I realized that there was a turmoil in Central China." Chen Zhizhi almost said the wrong thing and hurriedly changed his words.
It was also because she was not familiar with Su Jianbai's real name, so she still habitually called him Fox.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhizhi turned around and glared at Su Jianbai in annoyance.
She learned about the demonic unrest from Su Jianbai and originally wanted to ask him about it, but he forced himself to do so and insisted that he would not reveal more information until she caught him seven times.
This is the third time I have done it.
Fortunately, his aunt showed up and Su Jianbai was able to tell the truth.
But according to him, there is no substantial help...
Chen Zhizhi's eyebrows drooped, and he lost his previous anger for a moment. He called out in a low voice: "Aunt, Zhizhi dares to ask for your help..."
She wanted to ask her aunt for help, and also wanted to ask her aunt to return to Jiangyang Mansion, but she would not say this directly.
My mother once told me that Jiangyang Mansion might be a hidden disease in my aunt's heart, which is not easy to detect but always exists and causes endless pain.
When my mother reappeared in the world, my aunt was no longer in Jiangyang Prefecture, and they had no chance to meet. Logically, my mother would not understand her very thoroughly.
But even if it wasn't her mother, she herself knew something about her aunt's affairs and was unwilling to expose other people's scars.
Chen Zhizhi put his thoughts aside and carefully checked Wen Yu's expression.
"You mean—" Wen Yu pondered, as if he was both familiar and unfamiliar with the two words, "Jiang Yang?"
"Yes! Aunt!" Chen Zhizhi's eyes lit up. She knew that her aunt would never forget it completely. "It's Jiangyang, Jiangyang Mansion."
However, the expected merger did not happen.
Wen Yu lowered his eyes and said nothing, and his whole body became quiet.
Jiangyang Prefecture.
She recalled the days in Jiangyang. She seemed to be covered in a hazy color, revealing mottled traces from the gaps in time.
Chen Zhizhi's heart went empty and she skipped a beat. She had never expected such a result. She could only look at Yu Chang blankly in panic.
Yu Chang's eyes turned, and he saw through Wen Yu's unspoken sadness in the endless silence.
There was no need to think. After hundreds of years of companionship, Yu Chang already knew what to do. He took a step forward and raised his sleeve to block Wen Yu, blocking Chen Zhizhi's expectant gaze.
But before he could make any move, Wen Yu seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and pressed his wrist with her sleeve.
She would not sit idly by while Jiangyang was in turmoil, but...
"Zhizhi, it's not that I'm unwilling." Wen Yu spoke with difficulty, trying to make every possible consideration. "It's just that I still have orders from my master. Why don't you ask Yu Chang to go with you to Jiangyang to quell the rebellion, so that he can lend you a hand."
After saying that, Wen Yu gently pinched Yu Chang's forearm, as if to confirm with him.
The latter's eyebrows were lowered, and his eyes were sparkling. His previous coldness and alienation were gone, and now he looked a little excited.
Yu Chang nodded slightly in response.
As long as he could help Wen Yu, he would be more than happy.
After receiving Yu Chang's affirmative answer, Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and waited intently for Chen Zhizhi's opinion.
If it comes to quelling the rebellion, it would be effortless for Yu Chang to deal with those goblins and ghosts, and he would be even more powerful than her.
Therefore, she continued to move towards Zhongzhou, and Yu Chang went to Jiangyang. It would be best to deal with it separately.
Wen Yu nodded as he thought about it, seeming to be very satisfied with his arrangement.
Unfortunately, Chen Zhizhi, who was facing him, frowned and thought hard for a long time. He was embarrassed and hesitant, but finally shook his head without any regret.
"Where are you going, aunt?"
