C38 It's Done!

It's done!

The battle started quickly and ended quickly. When Ran Maoxue and Duan Deyi arrived together with the city protection army, Ye Zhifa had already digested all the emotions in his heart. His expression was the same as usual as he was chatting with Chu Qianwei.

Seeing that only the two of them were here, Ran Maoxue hurriedly dismounted and ran over. He, the city lord who came from a civil servant, was actually faster than Duan Deyi.

"Young Hero Ye, have you caught the culprit of the ghost disaster?"

Ye Zhifa shook his head first, which made Ran Maoxue's heart turn cold. Then he said, "I did not leave him behind, but this person will never appear in the Return of Spring to City again. No one will die because of ghosts in the future. I think this matter will end here. You can give the people of Return of Spring to City an explanation."

However, this explanation couldn't convince Ran Maoxue. If he couldn't hand over the culprit, not only would the people of Return of Spring to City be unstable, but they would also not be able to give an explanation to a higher level of the Imperial Court. This time, the matter of the ghosts and demons in the Return of Spring to City had caused an uproar. If he said something empty, the culprit would not come again. He would definitely not be able to keep his official position.

Ceng Lecheng was nowhere to be seen. No matter how good Ran Maoxue's words were, Ye Zhifa would not be able to find him to report to him. Could it be that Ye Zhifa had to run to the unknown Youdu just for the position of Return of Spring to City Master? Could he capture Ceng Lecheng for him?

But to Ran Maoxue, Ye Zhifa was his only hope. No matter how Ye Zhifa refused and explained, he was determined to get Ye Zhifa to help him find the culprit.

Ran Maoxue begged him bitterly, but Ye Zhifa patiently explained to him slowly. Chu Qianwei, who was beside him, could not stand it anymore.

These days, Ye Zhifa had been working hard for Chu Qianwei's test. He had even taken a risk and had a fight with Ceng Lecheng in the end. Although Chu Qianwei could not see through Ceng Lecheng's depth, just based on Ye Zhifa's fearful reaction, he understood what kind of powerful enemy Ceng Lecheng was.

Although Ye Zhifa had never heard Chu Qianwei say these words of thanks, seeing that Ye Zhifa was going to make things difficult for Ceng Lecheng after forcing him back, Chu Qianwei's temper finally flared up.

"Surnamed Ran, do you recognize this plate?"

Ran Maoxue took a look at the gold plate that Chu Qianwei handed to him and found that the words "Lingshou" and the royal family logo were engraved on it. He immediately did not dare to argue with Chu Qianwei's way of addressing him and directly knelt on the ground.

The people behind him did not know what had happened. When they saw Ran Maoxue, the city lord, kneel down as well, only the two Sword Palace disciples were left standing.

"Greeting Princess Ling Shou." After Ran Maoxue finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong. Didn't he just hear the news of Princess Ling Shou's death a few months ago? Furthermore, Chu Qianwei's age did not match with Princess Ling Shou's. He hurriedly asked, "May I ask if it is the little princess?"

"That's right. Lingshou is really my mother. Ran Maoxue, this time I forced the demons to retreat and solved the problem of ghosts. Why do you seem to be very dissatisfied and feel that I did not do my job properly?"

Hearing the anger in Chu Qianwei's words, Ran Maoxue knocked his head on the ground. He didn't dare to call out. But after he finished speaking, he raised his head in fear and asked, "Little princess, this criminal escaped. If the higher-ups ask about it later, what should the official say?"

"I said that guy won't come back, so he won't come back. If anyone has any objections, just ask him to come and find me. "

Similarly, different people had different weight. If Ran Maoxue said those words, it would naturally be useless. However, since it came from Chu Qianwei's mouth, there were not many people in the Cold Forest Country who dared to question him.

However, Ran Maoxue still had some concerns in his heart. If Chu Qianwei changed her mind and denied it at that time, what should he do?

When he thought of this, he came up with another idea. He said, "Little Princess, why don't you allow this official to share a seat with Young Master Ye? Leave it in the Return of Spring to City and spread your deeds today. What do you think? "

Ran Maoxue's original intention was to use this statue to tie Chu Qianwei onto his war chariot, but to a young girl like Chu Qianwei, it was a very rare experience to have a statue that belonged to her.

But she also knew that the main reason for this matter was still Li Suishui. The statue still needed to be discussed with him, so she looked at Ye Zhifa with a pitiful gaze.

Ye Zhifa originally thought that it was a good thing and did not need to be flamboyant, but after thinking about it, it was also a good way to accumulate reputation points. He nodded at Chu Qianwei and tacitly approved of this matter.

Ye Zhifa did not expect that after the statue was set up, after Ran Maoxue added fuel to the fire, the story of "a pair of golden boys and a girl descending to the mortal world to slay a ghost" actually gradually spread in Cold Forest Country and even the surrounding two countries. The reputation brought by this Xu Shan's actions had far exceeded his imagination, but after that, he pressed the button.

Seeing Chu Qianwei and Ye Zhifa agree to build the statue, Ran Maoxue's hanging heart finally relaxed.

After that... The process could be said to be very familiar to Ran Maoxue. First, he gave out notices in the Return of Spring to City. The declaration said that after a fierce battle between the two young heroes of the Zhehua Sword Palace, they had already cut down the main culprits who drove the ghosts. The main culprits were even directly smashed into pieces.

The words that he used to deal with his superiors were also inseparable. The only difference was that the main focus of the propaganda was on Chu Qianwei. Under the escort of the daughter of Princess Ling Shou, Ran Maoxue indeed did not suffer any difficulties.

As for Ye Zhifa and Chu Qianwei, after trying all kinds of excuses, they still participated in the feast that Ran Maoxue set up. But after the banquet ended, they quietly left the Return of Spring to City and did not accept any gifts from the common people.

When Ran Maoxue woke up from his hangover and was ready to find a craftsman to sculpt a beautiful statue for Ye Zhifa and Chu Qianwei, Ye Zhifa and Chu Qianwei had already returned to the Qinxi Mountain.

"Junior sister Chu, is this how you pass this test? Will there be any problems with Ceng Lecheng escaping?"

"It won't. Aunt said that as long as the ghosts don't continue to kill in the Return of Spring to City, my test will be completed."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Ye Zhifa nodded his head. He felt that his hard work wasn't in vain.

Chao Guang walked and stopped. He had already walked to the bottom of the finger peak. Ye Zhifa should also say goodbye to Chu Qianwei here. When the two of them went down the mountain, they were still quarreling. Now that they had a deep understanding, they were somewhat reluctant to part with each other.

"Junior sister, I will return to the Falling Goose Peak first. In a few days' time, when you become Big Sister Phoenix's disciple, Master will definitely send me to congratulate you. We'll meet again at that time."

After Ye Zhifa finished speaking, he turned around and got off the horse. He did not expect Chu Qianwei to also jump off the horse with him.

"Junior sister, you..."

Ye Zhifa was only halfway through his sentence when he was stopped by a warm hug. Then he heard Chu Qianwei's soft voice by his ear, "Thank you, senior brother."

This calling of senior brother was not like before, it could be said that it was deep love.

When Ye Zhifa was still thinking about the way she called him, Chu Qianwei released her hand as if she had been shocked by electricity. She returned to the horse's back and did not say anything. She directly ran towards the finger peak.

Looking at Chu Qianwei's back as she left, Ye Zhifa raised his right hand and waved at her from afar.

In his heart, he was deep in thought and seemed to have made a mistake.
