South Gate Town, Viewing Building Wang Villa.
Mu Wanying had yet to rest. She wore a coat and quietly stood by the window. Through the gap of the French curtains, she could clearly see the dim light outside. She knew that Tan Xiu had a lot of things to do, but she didn't expect that he would be so busy that it was already so late.
'Should I call him?'
This idea had popped up in her mind many times, but she had rejected it many times. She was afraid that she would disturb Tan Xiu's work. She was also afraid that Tan Xiu wouldn't like it. Becoming Tan Xiu's official girlfriend made her worry about her gains and losses instead.
At this time.
She caught a light outside the window. Ten seconds later, she saw a car quickly enter the courtyard, and Tan Xiu came out of the car. However, she was as perceptive as an orchid. She was keenly aware that there was something wrong with Tan Xiu's expression. It was very indifferent, with a trace of … anxiety.
Mu Wanying hesitated for a moment before she immediately put on her coat and walked toward the door. When she came to the corner of the stairs, she saw Tan Xiu coming up.
"Wanying, are my parents asleep?"
Asked Tan Xiu directly.
Mu Wanying nodded and said, "They should be asleep. You … "
Tan Xiu grabbed Mu Wanying's hand and pulled her to his room. After closing the door from the inside, he said with a serious expression, "I've encountered an emergency and need to go out of town. So you can only go to Shanghai by yourself tomorrow. Also, my Mom keeps saying that she wants me to go back to Shanghai to attend classes, so we have to leave South Gate Town tonight. I'll give you a room in the Long's Dining Hall. You can rest for a night and then immediately go to Shanghai. "
"What happened?" Mu Wanying asked with a worried expression. "Can I help you?"
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal. I can deal with it easily. But the time is too tight. I need to rush there immediately. "
Mu Wanying hurriedly said, "Then I'll change my clothes and pack up. We'll leave after that. Do you want to tell Uncle and Auntie? "
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "Since they're asleep, then I won't tell them. I'll call them tomorrow and explain it to them. "
"Alright!"
Mu Wanying agreed and returned to her room. Five or six minutes later, he changed his clothes, packed his things, and walked out with his suitcase. After Tan Xiu took it, the two of them went to the courtyard at their fastest speed, got on the car, and left South Gate Town.
Tan Xiu booked a room for Mu Wanying in the Long's Dining Hall. After settling her down, Jin Hu took him to the airport. Fortunately, just as he arrived, there was a flight to Blue City. Therefore, he boarded the plane and left without any hesitation.
Kanas, Longquan Bay.
In this chilly season, the two Wrangler SUVs roared as they hurried along, and soon arrived at a fork in the road. Jie Walie, who was in one of the Wrangler SUVs, looked at the Gaud map displayed on his mobile phone with a grave expression, as well as the location markings sent to him by Tan Xiu.
"Turn left and drive on the small road on the left. About five kilometers ahead is the end of this path. Let's abandon the car and hurry on with our journey, "Jie Walie instructed.
Very soon.
The two SUVs stopped at the end of the small road, and the mountain range ahead was already faintly visible. After Jie Walie got off the car, the four middle-aged men who followed him vigilantly observed the surroundings. This mountain range was very dangerous, with ferocious beasts often roaming around. There were even many swamps and miasma zones, and a slight carelessness could cost one their life.
"Xiaowu, Dafei, you two drive the car away and wait for us in the nearby Longquan Village. Remember, if we don't come back in a week, it means we've died in the mountains. Your sister-in-law, niece and nephew will have to rely on you to take care of them later, "said Jie Walie seriously.
The middle-aged man called Xiaowu's complexion slightly changed and hurriedly said, "We'll go with you, Brother Jie. Even if we die, we brothers must die together. "
Dafei also hurriedly said, "That's right, Big Brother. Our lives were saved by you in the past. How can we cower in the face of danger?"
Jie Walie happily patted their shoulders, but his expression quickly turned serious as he said, "Don't let me have any worries. I can work with peace of mind after solving my worries. The four of you are my closest brothers. You two don't want to get married, so there's nothing to worry about. But you two have families, so I must make you stay. Don't be stubborn. I've already made up my mind. "
Having said that …
Jie Walie quickly took out his mobile phone and sent a few short messages. Then, he quickly disappeared into the night with the other two men.
"Take care, Brother Jie!"
"Take care, Big Brother!"
Xiaowu and Dafei shouted loudly.
Walking on the mountain road late at night was very dangerous for ordinary people. However, Jie Walie and his two brothers often walked on the mountain road. Their physique was also very strong, so there wouldn't be much of a problem. They came out in a hurry this time and only brought a few changes of clothes, a small amount of hardtack and water, so they didn't have any burden on the road.
Longquan Swamp.
The starlight shone all over the sky, illuminating the place somewhat. On the flat ground at the entrance of the cave halfway up the mountain, a bonfire was burning with game being roasted above. Two experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall were sitting cross-legged in front of the bonfire, chatting about some cultivation matters.
On the opposite mountain peak two kilometers away from them, Daoist Qiankun was like a ghost, quietly sitting cross-legged under a big tree, overlooking the bonfire outside the cave and calmly watching the two experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall. With his current eyesight, he could still see clearly even at night.
Jin Sijie's Sky Piercer Halberd was taken by Tan Xiu, so he just asked the people of the Strange Doors to help him find a weapon. It was a very ordinary long spear, but it weighed more than a hundred pounds. At this moment, he was holding the long spear and standing beside Daoist Qiankun like a javelin.
"Master, why don't we get rid of them earlier? Even if we wait for the investigation news to come, they won't know who did it since that surnamed Tang has a huge force behind him. " Jin Sijie had a bit of hostility inside. The last battle here made him lose all his face and caused him to suffer heavy losses, so he wanted to kill and vent his anger.
Daoist Qiankun shook his head indifferently and said, "Killing them now is no different from killing them later. Let's wait. Maybe there will be news soon. "
Daoist Qiankun shook his head and said, "You also said that it's the same when we kill them, so why wait? If we kill them now, we can go to the cave and find a way to open the Immortal Trove's portal. Else, if that surnamed Tang notices something and comes back with a large number of experts, won't we have no chance? "
Daoist Qiankun lightly smiled and said, "If we rashly kill people and enter the cave before getting the news, what should we do if that surnamed Tang brat comes back with his people and happens to block us in the cave?"
"Ugh …"
Jin Sijie was at a loss for words.
"So, don't be impatient," said Daoist Qiankun. "Only by planning and acting can we live longer. If I understood this truth back then, that Old Blind wouldn't have … "
"You wouldn't have been trapped by this Old Blind for so many years, would you?" An old voice drifted into Daoist Qiankun and Jin Sijie's ears along with the cold wind.
Daoist Qiankun and Jin Sijie's complexion greatly changed. Daoist Qiankun, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, directly floated up and vigilantly observed the surroundings. His gloomy voice also drifted away with the wind, "Old Blind, since you're already here, why don't you show yourself?"
In front of the master and disciple duo, a blind old lady with disheveled hair and tattered clothes walked step by step in the air. Her footsteps were very slow, but every time her feet landed in the air, a circle of air rippled under her feet.
"Old Daoist Qiankun, I never thought that you'd come out of the Abstruse Yin Ground alive. Fortunately, this Old Blind didn't leave with that little doll, else you would've brought disaster to this place again, you heartless bastard. "
Daoist Qiankun's eyes turned slightly red, and a fierce killing intent emanated from him caused turbulence in the air around him. Despite Jin Sijie's strength being very strong, he was still forced back more than ten meters by this killing intent. Only then did he stop with a pale complexion. Staring fixedly at the blind old lady, Daoist Qiankun fiercely said, "You're still alive, you damned Old Blind. How could this old Daoist die earlier than you?"
Old Blind faintly sighed and stood in the air several meters away from Daoist Qiankun. She then shook her head and sighed, "It seems that this Old Blind was too softhearted back then. I should've set fire to that Abstruse Yin Ground and burned you alive. That way … I wouldn't have to waste my strength to come out now. "
"Old Blind, I killed your whole family back then because your father ruined my good deed." Daoist Qiankun sneered. "You've been killing me for 60 years, causing my cultivation to plummet and the Imperial Dragon Diagram to be destroyed. Shouldn't the enmity between us be written off?"
"I originally thought that it would be written off," said Old Blind helplessly. "But who would've thought that you wouldn't let me spend my remaining years in peace? Those four little guys are that little doll's people. They can't die, and that little doll can't die either. Therefore, if you don't give up on those evil thoughts, I'll have to act eventually! "
"You've mentioned that little doll many times. Who exactly is he?" asked Daoist Qiankun indifferently.
"You already know the answer, don't you?" said Old Blind. "Do you still need to play the fool in front of me?"
"Tan Xiu?"
Asked Daoist Qiankun with a frown.
"Who else could it be if not him?" said Old Blind faintly. "That little doll promised to give me a place to enjoy my remaining years in peace, and I also want to find the opportunity to become a Divine Diviner from him. You plotting against him, aren't you plotting against this Old Blind? "
With a gloomy expression, Daoist Qiankun shouted, "What's the identity of that little doll surnamed Tang? To think that he can make you keep thinking about him, old fart? "
"I can't see him clearly. I can't see through him." Old Blind shook her head.
"What?"
Daoist Qiankun's expression drastically changed. He was also proficient in the art of divination and calculation, but it was the Heavenly Divination Art that he snatched from the Blind Old Blind's father. He believed that he couldn't compare with this Old Blind in this regard. It was fine if he couldn't figure out the identity of that little doll surnamed Tang, but even she couldn't. What did this mean?
