Seeing this, Zhou Qingsu took Zhou Yuxue and others back to the inn with a wink, so that she could talk alone.
Li Yaoqing's voice slowly floated out from the spiritual slip.
"Five years ago, in a pawnshop in Ancheng, someone pawned a jade pendant. The jade pendant was deliberately scratched. Seeing that the jade pendant was of high quality, the pawnshop hired someone to repair it. Only then did he discover that the scratched jade pendant was scratched.
It turns out to be the word Biluo."
"According to the records of the pawn shop, the person who came to pawn was a woman named Chou Po in the city. This woman suddenly appeared in Ancheng more than ten years ago. Because of her ugly appearance, she could only make a living by begging on the streets. She has also been living in the city.
in the slums.”
"The pawnshop suspected that the item was not hers, and seeing that she was in a hurry to sell it, he deliberately lowered the price, so he took away the jade pendant for thirty taels of silver. It is said that after pawning the jade pendant, she did not show up in Ancheng for a long time.
Then one day, she suddenly appeared again."
It sounds like the ugly woman was afraid that the jade pendant would cause trouble, so she deliberately left after selling it to avoid the limelight.
Chu Ran thought to himself, and quickly took the voice-changing pill. His voice became a bit deeper than a man's, and he couldn't distinguish between male and female.
"Is she still in Ancheng?"
"Yes, she has been living there for more than ten years and has never left."
After Li Yaoqing finished speaking, he asked tentatively, "Do you want to see her? My people can take action at any time and bring her to the imperial city."
"No, I'll go there myself." Chu Ran asked again about Zuimeng.
It's a pity that there is no progress yet on Li Yaoqing's side.
This kind of poison is not uncommon, and it was seventeen years ago, so it is extremely difficult to find out.
Chu Ran could understand this. After the interrogation, she returned to the inn.
"Chu Chu." The man's magnetic voice penetrated the eardrums.
She put down her foot that was about to step into the lobby and turned around.
I saw Mo Jue striding from the front of the long street, followed by Qingmu and Lan He.
"Where have you been?" Chu Ran asked curiously.
The man stopped in front of her, his black eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled lowly: "If you have something to do at Huayue Tower, please ask me to come over and discuss it. What about you? Are you back so early today?"
Normally, she would not leave the mercenary guild until dark.
"I have some personal matters to take care of and will be leaving the city in the next two days."
"Huh?" Mo Jue was startled, "Where are you going again?"
"Ancheng." Chu Ran said as he walked into the lobby.
She didn't see the man's face behind her, and she suddenly became weird.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that he hadn't followed, Chu Ran stopped and looked over in confusion.
"It's nothing." Mo Jue's expression returned to normal and he followed her through the door, "I will accompany you then."
"No..." Chu Ran was about to refuse when he pinched his lips with his hand.
"Don't say no. Last time I had something to do and I had no choice but to let you leave alone. This time you can't even think of leaving me."
The man's attitude was domineering and resolute, so Chu Ran had no choice but to let him go.
"Master, won't you tell her about the bill?" Outside the door, Lan He couldn't help but send a message to Qingmu.
Huayuelou invited the master to come over early this morning for the purpose of paying bills.
The recent collapse of the secret realm not only destroyed the ninth-level secret realm of the mercenary union, but also destroyed the keys to multiple small secret realms, as well as various treasures in the exchange room on the third floor.
The bill alone is as thick as my little finger.
In order to deal with the aftermath for her, the master took out hundreds of top-quality spiritual stones and two peak blue-level spiritual weapons to erase the debt.
But the master never mentioned all this?
The more Lan He thought about it, the more he frowned.
"Master has his own plans. Don't do unnecessary things and tell Miss Chu about this without permission. I advise you to give up as soon as possible, otherwise, Master will not let you go." Qingmu warned in a deep voice.
Lan He immediately recalled his master's cruel and ruthless methods in his mind, and couldn't help but shudder.
The budding thoughts in my mind disappeared in an instant.
After entering the inn, Chu Ran found the members of the Wuming team and told them his decision.
"Hey! You want to leave?" Zhou Yuxue exclaimed, "Where are you going? We are with you."
Chu Ran reached out and touched her head and chuckled: "I'm just going to do some personal things. You stay in the city to continue practicing and earn more points for Yanyan. I will be back in a few days."
"But I can't bear to leave you." Zhou Yuxue muttered with a face full of reluctance, hugged her arm and rubbed it hard.
This idiot!
Zhou Qingsu glanced at a man with a cold air and carried the little girl back.
"Then we'll wait for you in the city." He said, taking out a stack of runes, "Take this for self-defense."
"There are still these." Yao Hengyu also took out a bunch of medicine bottles, "Although you also have pills in your hands, master, the more of these things the better. Take them all, just in case anything happens.
…”
A bunch of cold daggers stabbed towards him.
"Shut your crow mouth! If something happens to you, nothing will happen to you." Cang Wanyan shouted coldly.
Yao Hengyu touched his nose nonchalantly: "Isn't this just in case?"
She glared sharply: "You still said that!"
"No more, no more, anyway, master, just take it!"
Chu Ran accepted it with a smile.
These are their wishes, how could she refuse?
"I asked Qingmu and Lan He to stay together. They are here and can accompany the Wuming team to fight." Mo Jue said in a low voice.
Although Chu Ran had never seen Lan He take action, they were the bodyguards around Mo Jue, and their cultivation and skills must be extraordinary.
Playing against them is definitely a rare experience for the Wuming Team.
"good."
Seeing her agreement, a dark light flashed across Mo Jue's eyes.
He squinted at the two Aoki people who were following the inn: "Did you hear that?"
"Yes." The two immediately accepted the order.
At this moment, a message suddenly sounded in their ears.
“Drill them well!”
Since they were Chu Chu's companions, he would never allow them to hold her back.
not to mention……
Thinking of the voice Chu Ran had called Qing Su, and Zhou Yuxue, Cang Wanyan behaved affectionately from time to time.
Mo Jue felt more and more that they needed to temper themselves!
"Brother, do you think there's something wrong with the way those two people look at us?" Zhou Yuxue pointed at Qingmu and Lan He, "I don't know why, but I always feel a little fuzzy in my heart."
Zhou Qingsu also felt the same way. He lowered his eyelids and thought to himself: I hope they are overthinking.
…
Early the next morning, Chu Ran and Mo Jue set off for Ancheng.
Ancheng was close to the border of Jin State, and they arrived at this small city only two days after setting off from Jiulian City.
The night is as cool as water.
Based on the address provided by Li Yaoqing, Chu Ran went straight to the slum in the south corner of the city.
Weaving through the small and dirty houses, we finally stopped outside a dilapidated hut.
There was deathly silence inside the wooden door.
Chu Ran immediately released his spiritual consciousness to look inside, and then his face suddenly changed.
