Chapter 103

  "Red Leaf Sister, is it really you?"

  Lin Ruolan has always had a good impression of Yan Hongye, when she first watched the TV series "The Legend of the White Snake". Whether it was White-haired Red Leaf or Black-haired Red Leaf, Lin Ruolan liked them both very much.

  After parting with the Forgetful Forest last time, to be honest; occasionally when something happens, Lin Ruo Lan would still ring Yan Hong Ye from time to time.

  This is actually able to see Yan Hongye here, although Lin Ruolan knew the plot of Nie Xiaoqian; however, countless facts over the years have told Lin Ruolan a truth: a mixed world cannot be viewed with common sense; because this is a pitiful world.

  No matter what, being able to see Yan Hongye was an unexpected surprise for Lin Ruolan. With a warm smile, she grasped Yan Hongye's hand and said.

  "It was unexpected that after parting with the Forgetful Forest, I would meet you again in Nanguo Town, Hongye sister." Lin Ruolan rarely showed such warmth to others, but at this moment, she held Yan Hongye's hand and smiled warmly at her.

  At first, Lin Ruolan's movements startled Yan Hongye; probably because of the veil on her face, Yan Hongye felt that the white-clothed woman in front of her looked very familiar, but she couldn't think of where she had seen her before.

  It wasn't until Lin Ruolan mentioned the Forgetful Forest that Yan Hongye suddenly remembered; wasn't the woman in white standing before her Lin Ruolan?

  There is a saying that goes like this, "Birds of a feather flock together and people gather with their own kind"; this sentence isn't even half false, Yan Hongye also likes Lin Ruolan who is stunningly beautiful.

  And all these years, Yan Hongye has been living in seclusion with Sima San Niang in the Forgotten Forest; bitterly cultivating the mysterious techniques of Xuan Xin, let alone girls of similar age to herself. Even in the vicinity of the Forgotten Forest, there is no human habitation, so how could Yan Hongye have friends of similar age?

  As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together; this statement is not false at all, except for Jin Guang. Lin Ruolan was the only person around Yan Hongye who was about the same age as her, and she was also a girl just like her.

  For the beautiful and stunning Lin Ruolan, Yan Hongye can always like her very much; it's true that she treats her as a sister.

  This was not the Yan Hongye who had reacted earlier, looking at the white-clothed woman standing in front of her with curved eyebrows and eyes; similarly smiling and saying: "Lin sister, is it really you?"

  "Red Leaf Sister, I went to the Forest of No Regrets not long ago; but Third Madame said you had left the Forest of No Regrets for some time now, truly unexpected; today I actually get to see Red Leaf Sister in Nan Guo Town."

  Lin Ruo Lan was also smiling, with her arm around Yan Hong Ye's: "Right, Hong Ye sister; I'll introduce a friend to you."

  Two little girls reunited after a long time, naturally having a lot to say, but Lin Ruolan still remembered that they were on the main street; it was not suitable for detailed chatting, and besides... Excited Lin Ruolan suddenly remembered the Demon King Qiye who had been forgotten in the back of her mind.

  It was just when introducing both parties that Lin Ruolan became slightly embarrassed; uh…… she was so excited that she forgot; how could she introduce Mo Jun Ye and Yan Hongye to each other, given that the Yin Moon Imperial Court and the Xuan Xin Sect were sworn enemies?

  It's just that I don't know, if I tell the truth; whether Mo Jun Ye and Yan Hong Ye will end up in a big fight because of this. It really is a headache-inducing problem.

  In her heart, she thought so, and naturally Lin Ruo Lan slowed down in her actions.

  Lin Ruo Lan hesitated for a moment, and Yan Hong Ye keenly sensed that something was amiss: "Sister Lin, what's wrong? Is there something inconvenient about your friend? If it's inconvenient to introduce us, then never mind."

  Yan Hongye had long sensed the white-clothed man standing not far behind Lin Ruolan, whose aura was somewhat strange; this was one of the benefits of cultivating the Xuan Xin Ao Miao Jue, being able to feel strange auras that ordinary cultivators could not sense.

  What made Yan Hongye hesitate was that this didn't seem like the kind of aura a human should have; it was just that because they were quite far apart, Yan Hongye couldn't be very sure whether the aura on the other person's body belonged to the demon tribe or the magic tribe.

  Yan Hongye wasn't very clear about Lin Ruolan's lineage and sect, but she knew that someone who possessed the Instant Movement Symbol must be a cultivator like herself. She just didn't understand why Lin Ruolan would be with an outsider, but this was after all someone else's private matter. If Lin Ruolan didn't bring it up herself, Yan Hongye wouldn't dare to mention it either.

  The same thing happened to Mo Jun Qi Ye, who had already mastered the Tian Xue Ba Jian technique. His skills far surpassed those of Yan Hong Ye, and he naturally saw through it at a glance; the cultivation method practiced by Yan Hong Ye came from the Xuan Xin Zheng Zong.

  Leaving aside the relationship with Lin Ruolan for now, just as Mo Jun Qi, the Seventh Night of the Yin Moon Imperial Family; he wouldn't possibly lower himself to interact with Yan Hongye on an equal footing.

  Lin Ruo Lan reacted quickly, her eyes inadvertently glanced at a nearby baozi shop; in her heart, she already had an excuse: "Hong Ye sister, what are you talking about? Suddenly I remembered that I haven't bought baozi yet?"

  Lin Ruo-lan reached into her waist pouch and pulled out a silver ingot, while explaining to Yan Hong-ye: "Just now the boss of this shop said that in Nan Guo Town it's not allowed to ask prices; anything you ask the price of must be bought. Is this really such an unusual rule, Hong-ye sister?"

  The last sentence was Lin Ruolan asking Yan Hongye, she was really curious; what's going on? Why would there be such a strange rule in Nanguo Town? And why would the face of the baozi seller be so strangely pale?

  If she didn't see it wrong, looking at the other person's face, it was obviously a look of insufficient yang energy, and this condition should have been present since birth; it's just that as the other person got older day by day, the loss of yang energy became faster.

  Logically speaking, since the other party's yang energy has been depleted so severely; why does their spirit still look so good?

  To know that the person who has been drained of yang energy is like having a serious illness; The body should be very fragile, and getting sick every three days is also a common occurrence; But looking at the appearance of this baozi boss in front of him, except for the excessive loss of yang energy, everything else is no different from normal people.

  All of this was nothing, what surprised Lin Ruolan even more was yet to come; she had already used her opened heavenly eye to take a look, and on the man in front of her who was buying a purse, his yang lamp had actually gone out; however, he himself did not die.

  Everyone has three lanterns on their head and shoulders, so there are always old people who say that when walking at midnight; never look back, because as long as you look back, the lantern will go out. After all three lanterns have gone out, this person no longer has innate yang energy to resist the ghosts and monsters in the night.

  But even if you encounter ghosts and evil spirits on a night road, don't be afraid that the sun lamp will go out, because as long as you can get through the most dangerous moment; until the second day when the sky is bright, the sun comes out and the earth rises with yang energy; it will naturally provide enough replenishment, just like solar energy; it can shine on its own until night falls and the sun lamp will light up again.

  Moreover, generally speaking, only the three lanterns on a dead person's body will be completely extinguished; although the man in front of him looked very unsightly and seemed to be like a ghost at first glance, there was no aura of death on his body, it can be said that he is a real living person.

  Actually, all the way here, Lin Ruolan didn't pay much attention to the pedestrians on the road; probably because the eyes of the townspeople in Nanguo Town were too strange, making Lin Ruolan feel quite uneasy; so she didn't take a closer look at the townspeople in this town.

  Otherwise, Lin Ruolan would have discovered that almost all the townspeople of Nanguo Town were exactly like the man who bought the package in front of her; the yang energy was severely depleted, and the yang lamps on top of their heads and shoulders had all disappeared.

  This bizarre scene left Lin Ruolan in a daze; she had no idea why such a strange thing would happen in Nanguo Town. As soon as she thought of Heifenglin and Lanruo Temple, she couldn't help but think that there was nothing ordinary about Nanguo Town. Even if you killed her, Lin Ruolan wouldn't believe it.

  Although she asked Yan Hongye like this, Lin Ruolan estimated that Yan Hongye had not been in Nanguo Town for a long time; it was probably a waste of time to ask, and no useful information would be obtained.

  Yan Hongye's cultivation wasn't very high, but because the other party had cultivated the Xuan Xin Ao Miao Jue, it should be impossible for her not to notice anything off. It was quite unscientific!

  Yan Hongye did not expect Lin Ruolan to ask such a question suddenly, but she still nodded honestly and said: "Sister Lin, Brother Bao did not lie; In this Nanguo Town, there is indeed such a strange rule."

  "Would someone really buy a bun for one or two silver coins here?" Lin Ruolan looked at Yan Hongye with a strange expression.

  Damn it!

  Are all the people in Nanguo Town idiots? Are they willing to do such a stupid thing?

  It was probably Lin Ruo Lan's eyes that gave her away, Yan Hong Ye smiled and continued to explain: "Actually, it's not just the buns that cost one or two silver coins each, a bowl of Yang Chun noodles also costs five silver coins; staying overnight at an inn costs at least twenty silver coins per night."

  Yan Hongye's words made Lin Ruolan's eyes widen in surprise; what's the difference between a purple sauce and a sauce that's been robbed of its godliness?

  "Sister Lin, don't be too surprised; the entire town of Nanguo has a strange rule where each industry only has one household business; everyone does their own unique trade, so this business is still pretty good."

  Yan Hongye didn't know about this rule in Nanguo Town until she got there; when she told Lin Ruolan, she herself felt a bit embarrassed to say it.

  I'm going to wipe you out!

  Lin Ruo Lan swallowed her saliva, feeling that the whole thing was getting stranger and stranger: "Hong Ye sister, are you saying that in this entire Nan Guo Town, there is only one inn? One wine tavern? One baozi shop?... Is that what you mean?"

  Mo Jun Qi Ye stood by and naturally overheard the conversation between Lin Ruo Lan and Yan Hong Ye without missing a single word; Mo Jun Qi Ye's eyes also showed a hint of puzzlement, what kind of place was this Nan Guo Town?
