Han Ning did not restore the injuries to Qiu Guyun's twisted body in reality, and he did not have the ability to do so. Han Ning just allowed Qiu Guyun in the illusion to recover from his injuries, which was considered a deception.
Holding Qiu Guyun in his arms, Han Ning walked out of the cave with difficulty. The cave was too rugged and it took him a long time to climb out.
There were many people dressed in black outside, all guards arranged by Qiu Shuiran. When they saw Han Ning coming out, they quickly stepped forward.
He took Qiu Guyun and left quickly with Qiu Guyun. When all the men in black were almost gone, only one man in black was left, walking towards Han Ning.
"Go back to Wenqi Bookstore, second floor. Liu Wen wants to have a detailed discussion with you."
After saying that, the man in black turned around, a burst of smoke rose, and he disappeared out of thin air.
Han Ning tidied his clothes. If possible, he would like to return to reality first and wait until he reaches Wenqi Library before returning to fantasy.
But there was a strange feeling in Han Ning's heart. It seemed that Qiu Shuiran had arranged for some people to monitor him. Han Ning had no choice but to walk back to Leye City.
After arriving on the second floor of Wenqi Library, Liu Wen sat on a mahogany chair and was sorting out the parts of his iron finger.
Seeing Han Ning come in, he sat down.
Han Ning pulled out the chair, sat on it, looked at Liu Wen, and asked.
"I have rescued Qiu Guyun. I don't know when Master Qiu will be able to fulfill his promise and meet me."
Liu Wen fiddled with the prosthetic hand in his hand, without saying anything, and knocked on the table with his hand. Several guards came in carrying the box, and then put the box on the ground. The sound was loud.
"what do you mean?"
Liu Wen then stood up and opened the box, which was filled with gold ingots. When he opened it, there was still a golden light, which made people dazzled and made their hands and feet feel weak.
"The host doesn't want to see you." Liu Wen said slowly.
"What do you mean? We agreed at the beginning that I rescued Qiu Guyun, but now she just says she won't see me anymore!"
Liu Wen remained expressionless. Seeing Han Ning's excitement, the guard beside him pulled out the blade from his waist and blocked it in front of Liu Wen.
"Don't get excited. There are too many doubts about you. There will be no mistakes in the files in the library. You are obviously a mortal, but you can use fairy power."
"There are so many weird things about you, how can I let you get close to the original poster? Who knows what you are going to do."
"Originally, you knew that the poster secretly hid the armor, so we shouldn't have spared your life. But since you have saved the young master and the young lady, and the poster is not a heartless person, we will spare your life."
Then Liu Wen walked to the box, touched the gold inside and said.
"This is five hundred taels of gold. The host can help you clear your name. You can use it however you want. I can also give you the Pingli Gun as a gift. If I still owe you a favor, Wenqi Bookstore can protect you once."
"The poster is so benevolent and righteous, so stop pestering the poster and give up the idea of meeting the poster."
Han Ning gritted his teeth and felt unwilling to do so, but he didn't say anything. After all, there was no point in doing anything now.
"Then you have to arrange for someone to move the gold back to me! Can I move it alone?"
Liu Wen was a little speechless. He thought that this man would struggle again, and then he could just use the other party as an excuse to let the guards hack Han Ning to death.
This way he could avenge himself for having his fingers broken off, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so quickly. Liu Wen was speechless for a while.
Liu Wen waved his hand with a dark face.
"Scorpion Fox, you two bring the gold back to others."
"It's an order."
Liu Wen looked at Han Ning again and asked.
“Where does the gold move?”
"Move to Butterfly Fire Hall."
"knew."
"Come, let's see the guests off!"
With that said, Han Ning was kicked out. For a moment, Han Ning didn't know what to do and returned to the Diehuo Hall.
In the courtyard of Diehuo Hall, Ji Xunsheng was naked from the waist up, waving a spear in his hand, practicing his marksmanship.
"Good evening, Master Ji."
Only then did Ji Xunsheng stop and wipe the sweat from his forehead with a towel.
"Stop calling me that. I'm only two years older than you. Calling me that makes me look too old."
Ji Xunsheng put the spear aside and sat on the stone chair.
"Why, I haven't seen you back for the past few days. Did you come back to sleep today?"
"Hey, isn't this something? How are the ashes?"
Ji Xunsheng felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, but he still didn't show it. He just stood up and took out a small jar from a room.
"This is Guan Xing'er's ashes. Part of it was given to Master Guan, but you can't keep too much, otherwise it will be discovered."
Han Ning took the ashes, said goodbye to Ji Xunsheng, and left holding the ashes.
Han Ning can use ashes to briefly pull people in reality back into hallucinations. This is different from directly pulling people into hallucinations in reality. If you summon others through ashes, there will be no mental pressure.
In other words, as long as there are enough ashes, Han Ning can bring others back to the hallucination at will, but how long that person can stay in the hallucination depends on the ashes Han Ning consumes.
Walking into a room, Han Ning chose to wait outside the door, listening to the sound of banging and the clanking of chains inside, and waited for half an hour.
Seeing that there was no movement inside and it was quiet, Han Ning pushed the door open and entered.
Then he closed the door carefully and lit the oil lamp in the room.
The room was illuminated, and only then could the scene inside be seen clearly. There were bloodstains and various bruises on the walls, as if someone had smashed his head into the wall.
The entire room was empty except for the fur mat on the floor and the oil lamp by the door.
The only thing left was two pairs of large iron chains, and the iron chains tied a girl's hands.
The girl didn't look very big, with long black hair mixed with red, and various wounds all over her body, but they were all caused by herself.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he raised his head and looked at Han Ning.
Through the light of the oil lamp, you can see that the girl has no left eye, because a flower of flesh and blood grew out of the left eye. The flower completely blinded the girl's left eye and occupied the space of the left eye.
"It turns out to be Han Ning. I haven't seen you for a few days..."
The girl said tiredly. Han Ning was silent and said nothing. He just took out the towel he brought on the road and wiped the girl's body.
"How is the hall master doing lately?" Han Ning asked.
The girl who was chained was none other than the leader of Diehuo Hall, Ji Nianzhen, who others said was seriously ill and unable to get out of bed.
"It's okay. There haven't been any changes. It's just that I've been seeing my father and my grandfather recently. The rest is fine."
"Really……"
Han Ning seemed a little uncomfortable. Staying with Ji Nianzhen like this always made her feel inexplicably sad.
Ji Nianzhen didn't show anything wrong, but he felt helpless, even when he spoke he seemed a little weak.
"What's going on in reality?"
"It's pretty good. With Xia Ce's management, the base area is quite orderly. I recently woken up Tang Hongcai and improved the defense facilities of the entire base area."
"Tang Hongcai? Oh, I still remember him. He was the runner-up in the construction competition. I still remember the buildings he built. Although the entertainment facilities are a bit lacking, they are quite practical."
"Yes, in the eyes of his peers, he is really a genius."
As he was talking, Ji Nianzhen suddenly fell silent and stopped talking. Han Ning didn't find it strange at all, but just stayed away with a normal expression.
"Even if you die, you are dead. After you die, you should be reborn. Don't keep appearing in my hallucinations."
Ji Nianzhen muttered to himself naturally into the air, but then suddenly punched the wall with great force, but the wall was also very strong.
With just a click, the girl's hand bones were broken, but they recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, only the bones were recovered, and the scars on the girl's skin were still there.
Immediately afterwards, the girl's skin began to turn gray and became like dead wood, her hair gradually became longer, and the flower at her left eye became larger and spread to the entire body.
Ji Nianzhen's appearance at this moment is the same as the distorted body in reality.
Ji Nianzhen became furious and wanted to rush out like crazy, but was locked tightly by the iron chains on his hands, and his hands kept hammering the wall.
But the wall seemed to be specially made, and no matter how hard Ji Nian hammered it, it did not change at all.
But the sound was still loud. Ji Xunsheng in the courtyard also heard it, but like Han Ning, he didn't show any surprise and looked normal.
After a long time, Ji Nianzhen's skin gradually returned to its original state, and the flower on his left eye slowly withered back into his eye socket.
Only then did Ji Nianzhen regain his senses.
"Look, that's it. It's no different from before. Except that the frequency of hallucinations is a little too high, the rest is okay."
"..., it's a pity that I'm still too weak, otherwise I would have woken you up early, and you wouldn't have had to suffer this."
"Don't say that. Anyway, you will be able to wake me up sooner or later. When Leye City is rebuilt in reality, you can accompany me to watch the fireworks."
"Fireworks?"
"Yes, it's the fireworks for the Xiang'an Festival. I still remember the first time I met you. I still remember that at that time, I wanted to go up the mountain to watch the fireworks, so I picked you up on the mountain."
"Yes, after I wake you up, let's watch the fireworks together."
Han Ning heard the footsteps and came to the courtyard. Liu Wen's guards had already arrived carrying the box.
"The gold is placed here. You can handle it yourself. We will arrange some clients tomorrow and your gold will be laundered there."
Ji Xunsheng was a little shocked when he looked at the box full of gold, but he didn't ask Han Ning how he got it.
"What are you going to do with Gold?" Ji Xunsheng asked.
Han Ning thought for a moment and realized that he really didn't need any gold in his hallucination, so he spoke.
"You can make your own arrangements. Just leave some for me to eat, and use the rest as you like."
Ji Xunsheng nodded and stopped talking. After moving the gold back to the house, he continued to practice his gun. Everything was as usual.
As if nothing had happened, Han Ning stood on the top of the mountain, looking at Leye City below.
Leye City was so prosperous, but in Han Ning's eyes, it was just dead.
