I don't treat her as an outsider, and she doesn't treat herself as an outsider at all. Is it something that an outsider can do by leaving the door open and picking the lock to break into someone else's house?
Moreover, I touched her legs not because I really wanted to, but because I simply wanted to anger the demons in my heart.
So I told Xu Nuo: "Don't be impatient. Just concentrate on driving your car. Have you forgotten the time when you rushed to let me touch you? Now you are still reserved. What are you doing all this?"
"Then please be honest, otherwise I won't be able to drive."
She released the brakes and the car swayed forward at a slow idle speed. She ignored the inner demon that kept chattering harsh words in her mind. I asked Xu Nuo: "How is your brother-in-law doing while I'm gone?"
?”
"If you don't ask me how I am doing, why don't you ask my uncle first?"
She sighed softly: "He is not very well. Those messy people always come to him recently, making my uncle nagging all day long. I haven't seen him in almost two months."
"Two months? He is not in Crane City now?"
"Well, he shouldn't be here. The store is always closed. I don't know where he went to hang out."
Xu Nuo turned to look at me and asked tentatively: "Do you have something to do with him? How about I give him a call?"
I quickly shook my head: "No need, no need to fight, and don't tell your uncle that I'm back."
Just kidding, according to Xu Nuo, Xu Mingyang must be hanging out with people from Kunlun now.
And the people in Kunlun and Duan Tian's inner demon are wearing the same pants. If I let them know about my return to China, wouldn't it be just to cause trouble and fun for myself?
But Xu Nuo was probably just a casual question. She turned her head back and muttered while driving: "Since the last day at my grandpa's birthday party, I feel that my uncle has changed a lot. He used to laugh every day.
Haha, now you always keep a straight face and won’t tell me anything.”
I hummed and said, "It's normal. Is it bad to be close to the ink? Look at the old men around him who are very good at pretending to be cool and act like masters all day long."
"Anyway, I don't like him like this."
I was happy: "It's no use if you don't like it. I am now an accomplished man who cares about the common people. I can't hang out with a common man like you."
I answered the promise in a perfunctory manner a little absent-mindedly, but my thoughts had actually drifted far away.
Some time ago, people from Hades and Kunlun blocked almost all the passages from the outer Xing'an Mountains to the country, trying like crazy to find my whereabouts.
But this time, whether I came back from the mountain or in Hecheng, I didn't see half a shadow of the Kunlun Taoist or even the ghosts of the underworld. This is quite strange. I'm a little bit wondering where they went.
It would be okay if they gave up searching for me temporarily because they knew I was abroad. I'm afraid they are gathering strength and planning something secretly.
This situation of not being able to hear anything is the most unsettling thing.
I don't think I can wait any longer. The first thing I need to do is to contact the European side to find out more about Zhang Qi and see how she is doing.
There are forces secretly cultivated by Zhulong in the ghost world. They can contain the underworld. This gives me some confidence, but Kunlun must be solved first. After all, none of them know how powerful they are in the human world.
I'm not afraid of power, but the people around me who know me can't stand it.
Fortunately, these Taoist priests still have some bottom line. They are just threats and have not really taken action against the people around me, but no one can guarantee that one day they will suddenly jump over the wall and do something shameless.
I don’t think people who have anything to do with Duan Tian’s inner demon have any moral bottom line.
While she was thinking about it, Xu Nuo suddenly put her hand on my hand that was on her leg.
Her hands were cold, and she interrupted my train of thought: "What's wrong?"
"Gu Yan, I want to ask you for something."
She was looking forward, looking quite attentive, but the cold sweat on her palms showed that she was a little nervous now: "I want to ask, are there really any messy things in this world?"
"What nonsense?"
Xu Nuo frowned: "Just...do Taoist priests really exist? Are they really good at magic?"
I didn't answer directly, but just told her: "If I were you, I wouldn't ask such a stupid question. I've known your brother-in-law for so many years. You don't really think that he and his master are just two magicians, do you?"
"No, I believe in things like Feng Shui and metaphysics, but I always thought that my uncle and the others were just ordinary Yin and Yang gentlemen. I didn't expect that they really knew magic."
Xu Nuo suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road, turned around and asked me hesitantly: "Then Gu Yan... if magic is real, can you also teach me?"
"Teach you? I don't know how."
"Lie, how did you survive until now if you didn't know how?"
"Hey, isn't that because there are too many awesome people around me, so they forced me to stay?"
I casually made up lies to fool her: "Stop thinking about these useless things and concentrate on driving. I'm a little tired and want to go home and rest quickly."
"Stop coaxing me, I know you must know magic, you just don't want to teach me."
Xu Nuo opened the passenger's storage box in front of me as he spoke: "If not, where did that thing come from? Why did they give it to you?"
I took a look at what Xu promised to bring out.
It was a small jade plaque with a simple style, with gorgeous patterns engraved on the back, and the four characters "Deputy Supervisor" written on the front.
Isn't this the token of my Deputy Supervisor of Hades?
I asked Xu Nuo: "Where did this thing come from?"
"Did you forget that you threw this thing to me at my grandpa's birthday party that day? You said you didn't want it, but when I thought it was your thing, I didn't dare to throw it away, so I kept it."
She stroked the token twice with her thumb: "Not long after you left, I dreamed of an inexplicable guy. He pointed at the token and said he came to find you and asked me where you were.
When I said I didn't know, he threatened to kill me. Anyway, I had nightmares during that time, and more than one group of people came to me to inquire about you."
"What happened next?"
"Later, a man who claimed to be Qian came to me and said he was your friend. He left a mark on my arm. It was very magical. Since then, I have never had nightmares again."
She handed the token into my hand: "Return it to its original owner."
Anyone with the surname Qian should be either Qian Shouyi or Qian Shousan.
As ghost agents, they could all sense the aura of this token, and they probably came to check the situation. They saw the token in Xu Nuo's hand, so they helped operate it because they were worried that someone would cause trouble for her.
It's also my fault. I was just showing off and didn't consider whether leaving the token to Xu Nuo would get her into trouble. I owed the Qian brothers a favor and I had to thank them properly.
"The Inspector of the Earthly World should be considered a high official, right?"
Xunuo pointed at the token in my hand: "Gu Yan, are you still going to lie to me and say you don't know magic?"
