Chapter 104

  "Sister Lin, what you said is not wrong; that's exactly what I meant." Yan Hongye nodded and said: "If Sister Lin is worried about the accommodation, don't worry; Sister Lin can go to Red Leaf's Red Leaf Grass Hall to stay."

  Yan Hongye was very enthusiastic in inviting Lin Ruolan, and she also had a plan in her mind; if you don't have enough silver on you in this Nanguo Town, it's really hard to take a step.

  "Red Leaf Grass Hall? Is it Red Leaf's sister's home in Nanguo Town? I knew it as soon as I heard the name, but will we be disturbing you?" Yan Hongye's suggestion was just what Lin Ruolan had been hoping for, and she still had to say a few polite words.

  "Of course not, Sister Lin. You can consider Hongye Grass Hall as your own home; don't be polite." Yan Hongye said warmly, holding onto Lin Ruolan's arm.

  With this interruption, Lin Ruolan's plan to introduce Mo Jun Qi Ye to Yan Hongye was scrapped, but Yan Hongye still didn't realize it.

  For the first time, Lin Ruolan gritted her teeth and spent twenty taels of silver to buy twenty buns; not that she was stingy about this little bit of money, but rather that she felt these twenty taels of silver were spent a bit too wastefully.

  I'm going to wipe you out!

  No matter who it is, spending so much money to buy such an expensive bun; probably everyone will have a feeling of being treated as a fool, and it's normal to feel uncomfortable in their heart.

  Lin Ruo Lan and Yan Hong Ye left the Bao Zi shop, neither of them noticed; the strange expression on the face of the Bao Zi shop owner, but Mo Jun Qi looked at each other with a thoughtful expression when leaving.

  Just leaving the baozi shop not far away, Yan Hongye suddenly leaned down beside Lin Ruolan's ear and whispered: "Sister Lin, pay attention to this road, look at the faces of all the pedestrians."

  Yan Hongye's words made Lin Ruolan pause for a moment, if Yan Hongye hadn't said so; Lin Ruolan really didn't plan to pay attention to the meaning of the people in Nanguo Town. However, Lin Ruolan also believed that Yan Hongye wouldn't say such things to herself without reason, and there must be some unknown reason behind it.

  With Yan Hongye's reminder, Lin Ruolan began to pay attention to the townspeople walking on the street; this didn't know if one look would scare them, but after a closer look, Lin Ruolan was really frightened.

  Nanguo Town, although located in the depths of the mountains, has a vast area and a large number of residents. The streets are bustling with people, indicating that Nanguo Town is home to many residents and can be considered a large town.

  Almost everyone in this town, regardless of age or sex, has a very unsightly complexion; although it can't be said to be exactly the same as that of the baozi shop owner, but there's little difference.

  What made Lin Ruolan even more shocked and amazed was that all the townspeople in Nanguo Town were exactly the same; the sun lamps on their heads and shoulders had all disappeared without a trace.

  Is it that the feng shui of Nanguo Town is not right? Or is there a demon inside Nanguo Town that specializes in eating human lanterns?

  Just now at the baozi shop owner's place, Lin Ruolan had carefully looked; it seems that such a situation only occurs on the bodies of Nanguo Town townspeople, for example Yan Hongye; on Yan Hongye's body, Lin Ruolan did not see such a situation.

  It's all right, Yan Hongye just said that she has been living in Nanguo Town for more than a year; if there is really something wrong, she should have noticed some of it; after all, Yan Hongye is not an ordinary cultivator, and what Yan Hongye cultivates is the mysterious and subtle method of Xuanxin.

  Xuan Xin Ao Miao Jue is the most powerful and mysterious technique of Xuan Xin Zheng Zong. If one can truly master it, although they may not have the power to destroy heaven and earth, they will definitely be able to subdue demons and evil spirits without any problem. At least in the TV series version of The Legend of Qingyun, Xuan Xin Ao Miao Jue is absolutely the highest existence.

  It's just that this mysterious and subtle technique is very powerful, but it's not something that anyone can practice; since the establishment of the Xuanxin Orthodox School, only a handful of people have been able to master the Xuanxin Subtlety Technique in hundreds of years. Absolutely no more than ten fingers, you can imagine how difficult this technique is to practice.

  Even Yan Hongye, the master of this mysterious and subtle technique, didn't notice anything out of place; that's a big problem.

  Or what? Is it that this Nanguo Town doesn't have any problems at all, no problem whatsoever? How is that possible, just look at the faces of all the townspeople; they're as pale as ghosts, not to mention those missing lanterns, how do you explain that? If you say there's nothing wrong with Nanguo Town, Lin Ruolan would never believe it even if you killed her.

  Since the first hypothesis does not hold, then there is only one possibility left; that is, the danger hidden in Nanguo Town is extremely great, so great that even the master of the mysterious and subtle Yan Hongye's move cannot detect anything unusual.

  If it's really the second possibility, then Lin Ruo Lan isn't speaking empty words; the whole of Nan Guo Town is in big trouble, and she always has a bad feeling; as if she's been dragged into some kind of conspiracy.

  All the way, Lin Ruolan didn't say a word, her brain quickly started to turn; after carefully analyzing all the recent events from head to toe, Lin Ruolan suddenly found that everything seemed to start from the three missing disciples of Yunhe Mountain.

  However, Lin Ruolan soon denied her own idea entirely. If it were another sect, it would be fine; but this Yunhe Mountain? It rarely walked among humans, and outsiders who knew about Yunhe Mountain were even rarer. The foundation of her inference couldn't stand, so was it just a coincidence?

  Although it is said that there are no coincidences in books, but is this really a coincidence? Are there really so many coincidences in the world?

  Looking back at Mojun Qiye walking behind her, then glancing at Yan Hongye holding her arm, Lin Ruolan gently shook her head and chuckled... It seemed she had overthought things, this whole matter was indeed just a coincidence.

  The Hongyecao Hall was not far from the Baozi shop, and it took only a short while to get there; Lin Ruolan saw the sign of the Hongyecao Hall from afar, as well as its open door; she also saw the formation set up by Yan Hongye in front of the hall, which seemed to indicate that Yan Hongye's talent for formations was not inferior to Sima San Niang.

  The Hongye Grass Hall has such a wonderful formation to protect it, ordinary idle people are also very difficult to enter the Hongye Grass Hall, no wonder Yan Hongye's door is wide open when she goes out; this is because they have something to rely on!

  They entered the Red Leaf Grass Hall, and after the three of them sat down as host and guest; Yan Hongye finally reached out and pulled off the veil that Lin Ruolan was wearing on her face.

  A maiden in a white dress sits elegantly in the courtyard, with soft sunlight on her eyebrows like a new moon; her eyes are like stars, her skin is like frozen cream; her lips are like spring flowers, so pure and beautiful, extraordinary and beyond worldly vulgarity.

  For a moment, both Yan Hongye and Mo Junqi's eyes were fixed on Lin Ruolan, especially Mo Junqi; this was the first time he had carefully examined her under the sunlight.

  Not bad, really not bad; as expected, the saintess he had chosen for himself was indeed worthy of her reputation, even though he had already seen Lin Ruolan's true face in the Black Wind Forest. Mo Junyi was once again slightly taken aback by her small stature, but a faint smile appeared at the bottom of his eyes.

  "Sister Lin, you're getting more and more beautiful; no wonder you have to wear a veil on your face. If you walked down the street looking like this, you'd definitely be coveted by those rascals." It was actually the young Yan Hongye who couldn't help but say with a hint of admiration, her words carrying a bit of a mischievous tone.

  "Look who's here!"

  Lin Ruo Lan couldn't help but burst out laughing with a "heh" sound; she stretched out one finger and poked it at Yan Hong Ye's forehead, her face scolding as she said: "Little sister Hong Ye, how did you learn so many big words at such a young age? It really can't be seen from your appearance!"

  Yan Hongye was a bit young, but she had been on the Jianghu for some time; although Lin Ruolan teased her, she didn't feel embarrassed; when she heard Lin Ruolan's words, she just smiled and shifted her gaze to Mo Jun Ye beside her.

  Yan Hongye had always been curious about the handsome man who never spoke and followed Lin Ruolan closely. As early as when she first saw Mo Jun Ye, Yan Hongye was already stunned.

  It turns out that there are still men in this world who look like Jin Guang Xiao Shu, two handsome men who are not inferior to each other; This was the fleeting thought in Yan Hongye's mind when she first saw Mo Jun Ye Qi.

  However, when Yan Hongye took a closer look for the second time, she felt that something was not quite right; because Yan Hongye's cultivation method was the Xuan Xin Ao Miao Jue, which made her more sensitive to demonic and evil auras.

  She unexpectedly discovered that there was a faint, almost imperceptible aura of demonic energy surrounding Mo Jun Ye's body. This discovery left Yan Hongye secretly shocked, thinking she could hear the other person's name from Lin Ruolan's mouth and further guess their background. Who knew that at the critical moment, Lin Ruolan suddenly didn't say a word.

  You can see for yourself that the other person has a demonic aura on their body, not a demon clan? It's just an evil cult, no reason to cultivate clearly higher than myself by a big margin Lin Ruolan; actually can't see through Mojun Qiye's true nature?

  So there is only one possibility, Lin Ruolan had already known the other party's origin and true identity; this is also why Lin Ruolan suddenly didn't speak when they were outside.

  "Lin sister, I don't know who this young man is following you?" Yan Hongye looked at Lin Ruolan with a hint of implication in her question.

  Uh...still can't escape after all?

  Lin Ruo Lan's face revealed a hint of embarrassment, adhering to the idea that whether she stuck her head out or not, it would be a knife either way; she took a glance at Mo Jun Ye, who had been ignored by her all along and whose face didn't have much expression. She reached out her hand to make introductions.

  "Seventh Night Brother, this is a little sister I knew before - Yan Hongye!" Lin Ruolan pointed at Yan Hongye and introduced her to Mojun Seventh Night: "Her parents are Xuanxin Zhengzong's Yan Chixia and Sima San Niang."

  "Red Leaf Sister, this is also a friend that Big Sis has known for a very long time - Qi Ye!" Lin Ruo Lan once again pointed at Mo Jun Qi Ye and introduced him to Yan Hong Ye, her expression becoming somewhat strange: "You might have heard of him before, because many times people like to call Qi Ye Gege - Demon King Qi Ye!"
