Chapter 185 Mysterious Gift
Chapter 185 Mysterious Gift
Walking with Fan Lou from one end of the street to the other, Chu Xinglan fully experienced what it meant to know how to have fun and how to eat.
Chu Xinglan had to admit that every stall that Fan Lou stopped at was truly worth buying, and every snack he bought was so delicious that one wanted to swallow his tongue along with it.
Chu Xinglan couldn't even hold back, and came up to him and asked expectantly: "Next time we go out to play, can you still ask me to join you? You're really awesome."
Fan Lou snorted and turned his head away proudly: "You have good vision, but your current cultivation is too low. You should practice with your master. When you return to the demon tribe to take over, we can play together more often."
Chu Xinglan: “…”
His father is still alive and well, and if he wants to secure his position as the Demon King, he must at least reach the Tribulation Crossing stage. This is even when his father, the National Master and other powerful people who have broken through barriers are watching him.
Otherwise, if the demon tribe fell into his hands, he would probably devour them in a few days.
He is now just at the Nascent Soul stage, which is a long way from the Tribulation Crossing stage. Suddenly, Chu Xinglan felt the urgency of practicing. It seems that he can't waste time like this anymore. Practice is the real thing, otherwise people will look down on him if he comes out to play.
Fan Lou poured the last sip of sour plum soup in the bowl into his mouth and wiped his mouth.
"You two wait here for a while. I'm going to get something. I can also get the list you want."
The list was serious business, so Chu Xinglan stopped arguing with him and waited patiently for him to come back with his master.
It happened in a moment. Before Chu Xinglan and Sang Yunqi could say a few words, Fan Lou came back.
He took out a scroll of bamboo slips and threw it on the table: "This is what you want. Of course, I don't know if it's complete or not. What I know is all here."
Chu Xinglan took it and glanced at it casually. When he saw the sect position listed above, he was secretly shocked.
After rolling up the bamboo slips, he handed them to his master. He seemed to want to say something, but Fan Lou was still there, so he didn't say it in the end.
Sang Yunqi didn't even look at it and just put it away.
Fan Lou naturally noticed the change in Chu Xinglan's expression, but didn't say anything. With a sly smile on his face, he took out two tightly wrapped books from his arms and gave one to each of them.
"This is my gift for you two. Take it back and read it secretly. Don't leak the secret. If it is useful, remember to thank me."
Chu Xinglan's hand, which was about to turn the page of the book, stopped and he looked at the blank cover carefully again. His curiosity was completely aroused, but seeing Fan Lou's threatening look, he still kept his curiosity to himself.
Fan Lou was satisfied: "Okay, today's trip ends here. I've been out for so long, it's time to go back and take a look. Let's meet again if we're lucky."
After saying this, Fan Lou's figure suddenly became blurred and disappeared in front of the two people.
Chu Xinglan glanced at his master, and Sang Yunqi stood up and stretched out a hand to him: "Let's go home too."
……
After sending Shangguan Wei off, Xu Zhuo went straight to the back mountain. After searching for a while, he couldn't find his ancestor. Instead, he saw Xuan Ling who was doing nothing.
"National Division."
Xuan Ling was lying on Sang Yunqi's rocking chair and didn't even open his eyes when he heard the words.
"Sang Yunqi hasn't come back yet, and the little prince hasn't come back either. If you need anything, just wait here."
Xu Zhuo sat down at the stone table, planning to wait for his ancestor to come back and tell him what happened today as soon as possible.
Even now when he thought about what Shangguan Wei said, he felt very annoyed and sighed unconsciously.
After sitting for a while, he felt as if there were nails on the stool and could not stay still, so he stood up and paced back and forth in the yard.
Xuan Ling originally didn't want to pay attention to him, but this guy was too annoying. He sighed and walked around in circles, making it impossible for him to take a nap.
She sat up resignedly and looked at him with resentment: "What happened? Are the demons going to attack Cangqiong Mountain tomorrow?"
Xu Zhuo stopped walking awkwardly and sat back on the stone bench. After hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't help but complain.
"We always thought that the demons and the black-robed people were in the same group, but when the head of the Shangguan family came today, I realized that we might be wrong."
Xuan Ling had been staying in Cang Yun Country before, so he was well aware of what was happening in the world of cultivation and understood what he meant.
She looked at him puzzledly: "Who said they were in the same group?"
"When Bi Wu got into trouble in Cangyun Town, that should have been the first time the black-robed man showed up. But Bi Wu never told me that there was demonic energy on the black-robed man."
Xu Zhuo explained: "I know this. Later, the man in black robes appeared in Liwan City. We know that the news brought back by the young prince in the late period of Ye City is related to the Divine Will Sect."
"According to our investigation, the man in black robe is related to the Divine Will Sect."
Xuan Ling nodded, he also knew this.
"After that, our ancestors reminded us to be careful of the demons, because the monsters discovered the existence of demonic energy. During this exchange competition, Gong Bowen and his companions also had demons show up, so..."
Xuan Ling continued his words: "So you think they are in the same group?"
Xu Zhuo nodded.
"It is undeniable that the demons and the group of black-robed men are targeting that bastard Sang Yunqi, but this is probably not all of them, otherwise they wouldn't have killed so many people and even committed a family extermination case."
"We can also assume that there may be a connection between them, but it would be a bit too hasty to just conclude without any verification."
Xu Zhuo had actually realized this problem since Shangguan Wei finished speaking. When Xuan Ling brought it up again, Xu Zhuo's face turned red.
This is indeed his problem. He took it for granted.
But all the things piled up together made it hard for people not to think too much. As for this incident, it looked like the demons were attracting their attention, and the man in black robes wiped out the whole family to achieve his goal.
Xuan Ling then asked, "Is this why you came to see Sang Yunqi?"
Xu Zhuo glanced at him and nodded honestly. Wasn't it worth it for him to talk about this matter in person?
"I advise you to go back now and investigate whatever needs to be investigated. You should also prevent the things that were discussed in today's meeting. Otherwise, when Sang Yunqi comes back, he won't have as good a temper as I do."
"No...can't?"
Xuan Ling glanced at him with a smile, then lay back in the rocking chair and closed his eyes.
"If you don't believe me, just wait here. I don't mind watching a show. I like watching a show."
Xu Zhuo thought about his ancestor's temper and looked at Xuan Ling's confident look. In the end, he believed what he said and got up and left the back mountain.
Well, he just didn't want to be beaten again, especially in front of outsiders. He, Xu Zhuo, also had to save his face.
