C10 Ghost Lamp
Chen Xiao was already prepared, so they began heading towards Chen Nan's house. Just as Chen Xiao and company left the town, they encountered Chen Nan.
"Hey!" Chen Xiao said to wait for me, why are you running so fast!? " Chen Nan gasped heavily for breath as he gasped for it.
"Hehe!" I'm so sorry Senior Brother, I forgot about that in such a short time! " He did not forget that he wanted to be with his Senior Sister Qiao Yue-er as soon as possible. Only Ling'er could see through this brat's wishful thinking, but this rascal did not.
"Let's go!" Seeing that she was almost done, Qiao Yue'er gave the order.
The three of them sped towards the Chen family, and in three days, they arrived at the town of Xia Guizhen.
At this time, there were basically no pedestrians in the town, and the shop was not open for business. It looked very desolate.
"What's going on?" Ling'er frowned, "Just like what happened to the soldiers."
Chen Xiao also felt that something was amiss. Ever since he had stepped into the town of Xia Guizhen, he had vaguely sensed traces of killing intent and a trace of evil.
On the other hand, Chen Nan walked in front of him in a relaxed manner, as if he was already familiar with everything that was happening before his eyes and was no longer surprised.
Seeing their shocked expressions, Chen Nan said, "For our family's private matters, there will always be a few days every month that we'll be very nervous. We just have to get used to it!"
"Let's go!" Following that, Chen Nan led everyone else and continued forward. The path Chen Nan brought him today was different from usual. He walked around in this alley for a bit, then moved to the west. All the complicated alleys ahead opened up a path, revealing a very wide road in front of him.
Naturally, Chen Nan was leading the way with hospitality. At this moment, the Chen family's house was closed, and all the servants in front of the gate had disappeared. Above the gate, there was a battle-like defensive entrance, which was filled with people.
"The young master is back! Quickly open the door!" A rather prestigious voice sounded out, followed by the sound of a small fry stomping down the stairs. "Creak!" He opened the door.
"Gongzi, why did you come back again? You shouldn't have come back!" The lackey said.
Chen Nan was confused, "My home, I can come back whenever I want to. Why shouldn't I come back? What do you mean by this?"
"I didn't mean it that way. Young master, things are different today. It seems like the Zhang Clan is really going to take action!" The lackey said nervously.
"Zhang Family? He really dares to make a move? " Chen Nan refused to believe it.
"Seems to be true." The lackey said.
Chen Nan thought for a while before saying, "I still have some matters to attend to. I'll be going in first!"
Chen Nan led Chen Xiao and the others into the living room.
At this moment, the living room was filled with people. Looking at their worried faces, one could tell that they were worrying about something.
The one who led them was that old man from that day, also Chen Nan's grandfather.
On his grandfather's left and right were Chen Nan's uncles.
Chen Nan's grandfather was called Chen Tianyun. He was the most authoritative person in the Chen family, he was the clan head. Chen Tianyun's grandson was Chen Nan, and in the future, he would also become the head of the Chen family.
Chen Xiao felt extremely embarrassed. She had come at the wrong time.
When Chen Tianyun saw Chen Xiao and the others, he got up from his seat and said, "Everyone, I have my own matters to attend to. Seeing Chen Xiao and the others, he got up from his seat and said," Everyone, I have my own matters to attend to.
Following his grandfather's instructions, Chen Nan brought along Chen Xiao and the others to the missing side hall.
Chen Xiao waited in the side hall for a long time, but did not see the Chen family's Patriarch.
Everyone was very tired. Seeing this, Chen Nan instructed the servants to clean up the room.
Chen Nan said apologetically, "Looks like my grandfather is very busy. Sorry everyone."
Chen Xiao said, "It's fine. It's fine if we wait a little longer."
As night fell, the drowsy night made people want to sleep even more.
Chen Nan had arranged for some dishes to be eaten. Everyone was tasteless. Naturally, it was because the atmosphere made people feel that it was not that bad.
"Why didn't I see her?" Suddenly, Chen Xiao felt like she had been starving for the entire day and did not see her. She could not help but feel somewhat disappointed.
"That's right, where's your choice of words?" Ling'er also rushed up to him.
"I don't know either. Something might have happened at home." Chen Nan also expressed that he didn't know about this.
"This is strange!" Chen Xiao began to wonder if something had happened to his words. A vague sense of unease gradually spread throughout Chen Xiao's heart.
"Don't make wild guesses, let's rest." Qiao Yue-er said.
"That's right, rest. I'll go and see grandpa. If there's any news, I'll inform you as soon as possible." After Chen Nan finished speaking, everyone felt that this was the only option left for now, so they all went to rest. Chen Xiao also went back to rest, waiting for news from Chen Nan.
During this time, he had been reading a book for a while, memorizing all the important content before starting your training. Following the old farmer's mental cultivation method, Chen Xiao sensed traces of a different aura. Hence, he liked to doubt the old farmer's words even more. Was it a supreme mental cultivation method?
Chen Xiao felt as though her body was floating. It was as though she was in an empty cloud, as though she was weightless.
Chen Xiao dared to perform a circle of kungfu. After he retracted his Qi as fast as his Dantian, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside.
"Who?" Chen Xiao asked.
The voice from outside said, "It's my senior brother."
When Chen Xiao opened the door, Chen Nan had an extremely sad expression. Chen Xiao immediately felt that something bad had happened.
As a result, Chen Xiao asked curiously, "If you aren't sleeping in the middle of the night, what business do you have with me?"
"En!" Chen Nan said, "Senior Brother, this matter is very troublesome. I really don't know how to tell Senior Sister Ling'er about it, so I can only look for you."
"Tell me, see if I can help you."
"That's because Miss Qian Yun is in trouble, we are also very guilty …"
"When did this happen? How did this happen? " Chen Xiao exclaimed.
Chen Nan sat down at a wooden square table in front of Chen Xiao's room and let him sigh. "First, it's because we have a grudge with the Zhang Family. That day, our words were truly crooked and we met a member of the Zhang Family, and the Zhang Family wanted to force us to do that. However, we were forced to resist and escape, and while escaping, we accidentally fell off a cliff!"
"Bastard!" Chen Xiao punched the table. Chen Xiao recalled the gaze of Yi Yi who had said her farewells at that time. He could not help but feel regret in his heart. What a great girl!
Immediately, Chen Xiao asked, "Have you found the corpse?"
Chen Nan shook his head, indicating that he could not find it.
"Let me think, let me think, how can I tell Ling'er about this?" Chen Xiao said.
"Then I'll wait for your news!" As Chen Nan spoke, he left this person and went to his dorm.
Chen Xiaotian stood by the window, unable to fall asleep.
"This is an impossible night to sleep in!" Chen Xiao said to himself.
At this moment, the sudden appearance of Ling`er shocked Chen Xiao.
"What business do you have with me after you left?" Chen Xiao asked.
"No, nothing." Ling'er's face immediately flushed red. Chen Xiao found it very strange, so she did not say much. Then, he said, "I can't sleep. I came to find you for a reason. I want to ask, what did Chen Nan tell you today?"
"Do you know about it?"
"I know everything about the society?" "I won't come over to ask you if I know. Do you know what happened to my sister?" Ling'er asked.
"I, I …" Chen Xiao really did not know what to do, right? Tell this to Ling`er.
"Stop stuttering, hurry up and tell me, did something happen to my sister!" Seeing Chen Xiao's expression, Ling'er felt extremely anxious.
"Mm, you have to be calm …" Following that, Chen Xiao told everything that Chen Nan had said to Ling'er. Ling'er's two delicate fists were clenched tightly, and her face was filled with rage as she clenched her teeth tightly.
"Did something happen to my sister at the watershed?" After a long time, Ling'er finally spoke.
"What are you doing?" Chen Xiao was stunned. The meaning behind Ling'er's words was very clear. She wanted to go there.
"I want to take a look!" Ling'er asked, "Will you accompany me there?"
Chen Xiao recalled that her cultivation was not that high and felt a little fearful. Looking at the stiff and timid Chen Xiao, Ling'er said, "Alright, I'll go by myself!"
Chen Xiao looked at Ling'er as she left with a flick of her sleeve. She felt that she was a man and a man had to bear some responsibility. She shouted, "Wait for me!"
Ling'er turned around and smiled faintly at Chen Xiao. With the moonlight shining on her, it made people feel that her limit was a warm flow of light, like the embellishment of a clear world.
Soon, they arrived at the Deepwater Ridge.
Under the moonlight, the clear Dividing Water Ridge appeared extremely strange.
"Shall we go down to the Ridge for a while?" Chen Xiao said.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ling'er replied, "Of course we have to go down."
Chen Xiao hesitated. He did not want to go down. In such a dangerous place, it was troublesome if there were any demon beasts or demonic beasts. With his current cultivation, it was still difficult to deal with some Rank 1 demonic beasts. However, Ling'Er wasn't afraid at all, because she was a tier 4 alchemist. Seeing the rank on Ling'Er's identity token, as well as the one she was about to rank, Chen Xiao felt a little embarrassed.
"Since things have already come to this point, we will be done for if we don't take the initiative!" Ling'er rolled her eyes at Chen Xiao and said, "We have to go down and take a look! I am here for everything! "
Chen Xiao couldn't change Ling'Er's mind, so she could only follow her downhill.
This deep water ridge was at the southeast edge of the town of Xia Guizhen, around 30 miles away. These places were filled with an ominous and vicious aura, as if it were very evil.
Chen Xiao thought in her heart: Maybe there's some evil big bad guy or some super demon beast hiding here.
No boat, no boat. Chen Xiao brandished her sword and made a bamboo row with the bamboo.
"Hualala!" Chen Xiao paddled her way through the depths of the mountain.
"From the looks of it, there seems to be nothing!" A disappointed look appeared on Ling'er's face.
"I also feel that we can't use this method to search for people. We have to find people who can swim and see if they are sinking to the bottom, or... Maybe I didn't sound good, or maybe some water beast ate me and didn't know about it. After all, three days have passed! "
"Shut up!" Ling'er glared furiously at Chen Xiao. "If you keep talking, I'll tell you that you can never speak."
When Chen Xiao saw that Ling'er was truly angry, he could understand her feelings as well. Therefore, he said, "Alright, I'll go overboard then. 90 degrees."
Ling'er immediately felt that she had gone overboard, and said, "I'm really sorry. I was really excited just now."
Chen Xiao shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's fine. I know you are very anxious."
Chen Xiao then headed deeper into the depths of the Abyssal Ridge. Along the way, Chen Xiao made her way through a small ravine covered with thick tree branches. The deeper she went, the deeper she went. Gradually, the raft stopped moving.
They had no choice but to disembark from the raft and move forward along the river in the depths of the sea. After walking for a while, suddenly, the person in front could vaguely see flames.
"Where is this place?" Ling'er said, "Why is there a Ghost Light!"
"What Ghost Light!" Chen Xiao did not understand what Ling Er meant by that. His heart was filled with frustration.
Ling'er said in a low voice, "The Ghost Soul Lamps are a very mysterious organization on this continent. I heard that they are an organization that revolted against the imperial government."
Chen Xiao understood. This was where the imperial government referred to 'traitorous'.
"Then this is a traitor, it's better if we leave. There are many capable people among these traitors, so it's best if we don't provoke them." Chen Xiao thought to herself, We are here to find the right words to say and to help the imperial government eliminate the traitors. Furthermore, we are apothecaries. It is not appropriate for us to interfere in the affairs of the imperial government.
"You're really cowardly, aren't you? Eliminating traitors is the responsibility of everyone here. We should investigate and report this to the imperial government. Wouldn't it be fine if the imperial government sent troops here to eliminate them?" Ling'er lectured Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao drooped her head and said, "Alright, Senior Sister will listen to you."
Ling'er faintly smiled, revealing a faint smile. In the moonlight, her smile was extremely joyous. Her smile was as brilliant as a peach blossom in spring. Perhaps it was this smile that caused several reincarnations.
Chen Xiao could not help but be stunned. When Ling'er saw Chen Xiao's dumbfounded expression, she could not help but bury her head deep in her chest. She was changing. Those ill-tempered women, when they met someone they liked, would become extremely bashful, and would only release their gentle side.
"Alright!" Ling'er suddenly said, "We should go take a look at those Ghost Lamps!"
"En!" Chen Xiao followed closely behind Ling Er, appearing to be a fool.
