Jianchen suddenly flipped through the air and landed firmly on the ground. He cautiously looked around and expanded the senses of his soul, enveloping the entire inn in an attempt to find the person who had spoken. However, to his disappointment, he failed to discover anything.
The voice that had just appeared beside his ear and was extremely clear did not seem to come from a human. The voice was different from the communication techniques of Saint Rulers because the communication techniques of Saint Rulers directly rang out in his ears. It was impossible to find the source of the voice, unlike before where he could accurately pinpoint the source of the voice. Moreover, it was right beside him. This strange sight made his hairs stand on end, as if an invisible ghost was speaking beside him.
"Who's speaking!" Jianchen became extremely stern. This was the first time he had seen something so strange.
Perhaps in response to Jianchen's question, the dark room suddenly lit up. Strands of light gathered in the room, gradually condensing into the figure of a person.
It was a little girl wearing a long pink dress. She looked to be around twelve or thirteen years old. She was very cute, but the only flaw was that the little girl's figure was illusory. She was not solid. Her body seemed to be formed entirely by light. With her appearance, the darkness in the room was completely dispelled, becoming brighter.
Jianchen's eyes narrowed to the size of needles. He stared at the girl closely as if he had seen a ghost.
"Who are you?" Jianchen called out in a deep voice. He had already become extremely cautious against the girl who did not seem to be a threat at all. She was just too strange.
The girl looked at Jianchen curiously before circling around him a few times. She constantly glanced at Jianchen and mumbled to herself in confusion, "So faint, so faint. Master's scent is so faint, but you're clearly not my master. Oi, who are you?"
Jianchen was completely confused by the girl's words, but Jianchen did not lower his guard at all. He replied, "I am Jianchen. May I ask who you are? Why have you come to my room? "
"Jianchen?" The girl frowned slightly as she pondered. She asked subconsciously, "Who is Jianchen?"
"Jianchen is me!" Jianchen's facial muscles twitched gently.
The girl's gaze once again fell on Jianchen. "You're Jianchen? No, no, you're not my master. My master's name is not Jianchen, and he's not as weak as you. But strange, why do I smell my master's scent? Could it be that I'm mistaken? Impossible, impossible. I definitely can't be mistaken about my master's scent. Although it's very faint, I can still distinguish it. "
The girl rolled her eyes a few times before suddenly giggling at Jianchen. "Big Brother, can you tell Xiao Ling if you've seen my master somewhere? Where is my master now? Why hasn't he come back to see Xiao Ling for so long? Does he not want Xiao Ling anymore and forgot about Xiao Ling?" Towards the end, the girl's eyes turned slightly red, as if she was about to cry. She was very aggrieved and sad.
Seeing the girl's pitiful appearance, Jianchen's heartstrings were deeply touched. It was as if he saw a child who had lost her parents painstakingly searching for her lost parents. She was so helpless, so lonely.
"Little girl, can you tell me who you are? And who is your master? Perhaps I've seen him somewhere before. " Jianchen probed. In his mind, he quickly thought of all the important figures he knew.
"I'm Xiao Ling, but others call me the Boundary Spirit. As for my master, you should know. He's the City Lord of this city!" the girl replied.
"The City Lord of this city?" Jianchen stared blankly for a moment before muttering to himself. He seemed to be thinking about who the City Lord of this city was, but soon after, Jianchen's expression changed greatly as he cried out in surprise, "What did you say? Your master is the City Lord of Mercenary City? "
"Hehe, that's right, that's right. My master is the City Lord of Mercenary City. Big brother, you really do know my master. Can you tell me where my master is right now? Big brother, I beg you," the girl excitedly said. Towards the end, her words gradually turned into pleading. She looked at Jianchen pitifully.
Jianchen gasped as he stared at the girl who did not seem to be older than twelve or thirteen. Disbelief flooded his face.
There had only been one City Lord of Mercenary City since ancient times, and that was the greatest expert of the Tian Yuan Continent, Mo Tianyun.
The master of the girl was actually the greatest expert of the Tian Yuan Continent in the past, Mo Tianyun. It was impossible for Jianchen not to be shocked by this.
After quite a while, Jianchen finally calmed down. He stared at the girl in fright and questioned, "Little girl, is what you just said true? The City Lord of Mercenary City, Mo Tianyun, is your master? "Even now, Jianchen was willing to believe that he had misheard.
"Yeah, yeah. He's Xiao Ling's master. Xiao Ling will never forget him. Back then, master was the one who gave me the name Xiao Ling. It's just that master left for a very long time and never came to visit Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling really, really misses master," the girl said with a sad expression. The little girl said with a lonely expression. At this moment, her petite figure looked so lonely.
Jianchen's shock could no longer be described with words. He stared at the girl in front of him in shock, unable to return to his senses even after quite some time.
Was this strange girl really from the same generation as Mo Tianyun?
Jianchen suddenly realized an extremely terrifying problem when he thought up to there. His heart could not help but tremble. If the girl really was from the same generation as Mo Tianyun, just how long had she lived?
"Big Brother, I beg you to tell Little Ling where Master is, okay? Why hasn't he come to visit Xiao Ling in so long? Xiao Ling really, really misses master. "The girl stared at Jianchen with teary eyes. She seemed so pitiful that anyone who saw her would feel pity for her.
Looking at the girl's pitiful appearance, Jianchen also felt a trace of pity for her. However, the girl's words were so shocking that even Jianchen did not know how to reply.
Mo Tianyun was a figure from the ancient era. Even though he was the most powerful person in the continent, he could not withstand the erosion of time and had already passed away many years ago. All that was left was his illustrious reputation. How could Jianchen have seen Mo Tianyun before?
"Big brother, I beg you, can you please tell Xiao Ling where master has gone?" Seeing that Jianchen did not respond, the girl asked again, her voice filled with pleading.
Jianchen secretly sighed inside. He looked at the girl in a rather shaken state. After a moment of thought, he said, "Little sister, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I've never seen your master before."
"That's impossible. Big brother, you're lying to Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling's nose is very sensitive. You can't lie to Xiao Ling. Big brother, you have master's scent on you. You must have seen master before." The girl pouted. Her face was filled with disbelief.
Jian Chen shook his head with a bitter smile, "Little girl, you must be mistaken. I really haven't seen your master. Although your master is the greatest expert on the continent, so much time has passed. Your master has already passed away when the end of his life is near."
"Big brother, you're lying. Master is so powerful that he has already surpassed the limits of his lifespan. He lives as long as the world, so how could he have passed away? Big brother, you can't lie to Xiao Ling," Xiao Ling grumbled somewhat angrily. She was extremely dissatisfied with Jianchen saying that her master had passed away.
Jianchen rubbed his temples with a headache. He really had no idea how to deal with this girl with a rather frightening background.
"Big brother, I beg you. Can you just tell Xiao Ling where master is? Xiao Ling will definitely repay you, "the little girl repeated over and over again.
"Little sister, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really haven't seen your master," Jianchen said helplessly.
The little girl was a little anxious. With a sullen face, she sobbed, "But, but, but you clearly have Master's scent on you. Although it's very faint, you can't hide it from Little Ling. Big brother, you must have seen Master before."
"Have I?" Jianchen carefully checked his body. He also found it very strange. Why did the girl always say that she had Mo Tianyun's scent on him? However, he was certain that he had never seen Mo Tianyun before.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Jianchen's head. He said, "Little sister, perhaps I have something your master once left behind on me, which is why you can sense your master's scent."
"Is that really the case? Big brother, you really haven't seen my master? "The girl's face was filled with indescribable sorrow and desolation.
"I swear that I, Jianchen, have never seen your master!" Even though Jianchen could not bear to make such a cute girl sad, he could only do this in order to completely dispel the misunderstanding in her heart.
The girl was stunned. She stood there and stared blankly at the serious Jianchen, as if she did not dare to accept this reality. After remaining in this position for a few breaths, she suddenly burst into tears. She sobbed, "Master, just where are you? Do you really not want Xiao Ling anymore? Xiao Ling really, really misses you. Master, just where are you?" The girl cried very sadly. As she cried, her body constantly faded, gradually disappearing from Jianchen's eyes. The room sank into darkness once more.
"Wuwuwuwu … Master, just where are you? Come back quickly and see Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling really, really misses you …" The girl's desolate and sorrowful cries constantly rang out in the pitch-black night. Her voice constantly drifted into the distance, echoing throughout the entire sky before finally fading away.
Jianchen seemed to be affected by the girl's sorrowful cries. His heart became heavy, and he began to feel pity for the girl who had just appeared from the depths of his heart.
Jianchen lit the candle again before opening the window to look at the scenery outside. It was already three in the morning, and Mercenary City was silent. No one seemed to have heard the girl's cries earlier.
Jianchen closed the window and sat down beside the bed. He pulled out three palm-sized, snow-white beast furs from his Space Ring and carefully studied them in his hand.
This was because the three beast furs of unknown origins were the most mysterious items on him. In the past, it was one of the three beast furs that had caused the destruction of the Bi family with a Saint Ruler.
