Xianhua Street, an abandoned courtyard somewhere.
When Gu Ying woke up, her eyes were filled with thick darkness that could not be broken away. This made it impossible for her to judge what kind of environment she was in, nor to know where she was now.
"Ugh...it hurts!"
As he woke up, the previous pain that seemed like his head was being opened returned. This made Gu Ying only hold on for a second before he couldn't help but hug his head and let out a low groan.
She had a feeling that she would really die if she continued like this.
"Are you awake?"
At this time, the surroundings suddenly lit up, filling the place with a golden, slightly hazy light.
Jiang Yan turned around, looked around, his eyes fell on the bloody woman, and said in a steady voice:
"I have a few questions I'd like to ask."
After hearing the inquiry and seeing the light, Gu Ying's body suddenly moved.
At this time, her rationality finally returned a little, her thoughts turned, and she thought clearly about her current situation:
She must have been plundered here by the enemy.
To put it simply, she is now a prisoner, and her life and death are in the hands of others and cannot be controlled by herself.
Thinking of this, Gu Ying resisted the headache, raised his head, and quickly looked around, finding that this place was just a low, narrow, and dilapidated house with rough walls and a hole the size of a washbasin in the roof.
At the door, a man shrouded in golden light stood quietly, looking over here.
Gu Ying bit her lower lip, finally desperate.
"Cough." Jiang Yan coughed at the right time, reminding this woman not to be ungrateful.
Gu Ying sighed secretly and lowered his eyes:
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. If I know anything, I will not hide it."
After a pause, she immediately added:
"It's just that I'm not a big shot in the Holy Cult, and I may not know much."
Without probing, Gu Ying made his attitude clear immediately. Everyone who knew about it said that he would not keep secrets for the Bone Sect.
In front of a great master who can defeat you with one move, it is best not to have any small thoughts and work together well, only then will you have the best chance of getting that elusive glimmer of hope.
Jiang Yan nodded slightly, glanced at Gu Ying calmly, and said in the same tone just now:
"You are very smart."
Naturally, this gesture of complete cooperation and some means are no longer needed.
When Gu Ying heard this, her expression remained unchanged, but she breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yan withdrew his gaze, looked elsewhere, and introduced himself:
"I'm from Nanyan City,"
Gu Ying's eyes widened, and he suddenly had many more associations and knew the reason why he was caught.
Jiang Yan laughed and continued:
"Now, you should know why I'm looking for you, right? You should know which force I represent, right?"
Although he had been able to confirm that the White Bone Sect was involved in the killing of the Yehuai stronghold through the cultist who was monitoring him outside the fortress and some of the conversations he had just heard while Bai Qingyang and Gu Ying were eating. But at this time, Jiang Yan naturally didn't mind confirming it again.
His tone became depressed:
"Did the White Bone Sect participate in the attacks on the strongholds of many forces in Nanyan City?"
Gu Ying nodded resignedly:
"yes."
After saying this, she immediately asked with a wry smile:
"I think you have already found clues from other places, otherwise you wouldn't attack me directly."
Jiang Yan did not respond, but continued to ask:
"Other than the Bone Sect, is there any other force involved in this matter?"
When Gu Ying heard this, his eyes had a hint of revenge, and he said very frankly:
"There is also the Mengxing Sect. In this matter, our White Bone Holy Sect is only assisting.
"The Mengxing Cult is the leader in this matter."
Mengxing Cult? How come we can meet them everywhere? Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, then his expression became solemn, and he suddenly felt that things had become difficult.
…
…
crackle.
Ouyang Xiuya reached out and picked up the wick, turning the dim light back on. After doing this, she turned her head again and looked towards the courtyard.
After a while, she looked away, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and her cheeks on both sides bulged up at the same time in a rare sight.
"It's really rare to see you like this."
The flame belonging to the candle suddenly expanded, and Jiang Yan jumped out, just in time to see the scene in front of him.
He couldn't help but laugh. There were too few occasions when Ouyang Xiuya, with his serious and old-fashioned temperament, secretly sulked and was caught by others.
When Ouyang Xiuya saw Jiang Yan arriving, her eyes lit up, and she immediately turned her head and gave a soft "hum" without saying anything.
Jiang Yan wiped his face, suppressed a smile, and took the initiative to apologize and said:
"It's my fault, I came too late."
He patted his belly and laughed again:
"However, it's still empty and needs a lot of food."
After saying that, he deliberately looked around and looked around, trying to find the target.
Ouyang Xiuya then stood up, pointed to the wooden chair next to her, and said suicidal:
"Sit down and wait."
"Okay." Jiang Yan stopped and sat down according to the other party's arrangement. He poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
"That's all."
Ouyang Xiuya put the wooden tray on the table, took out a few plates, and said angrily:
"That guy Du Mei is so greedy, she ate most of the food."
After saying that, she took another serious look at Jiang Yan:
"You came too late."
Jiang Yan laughed dryly and did not respond. Instead, he lowered his body and concentrated on the food on the table.
Ouyang Xiuya also said nothing and drank tea silently, only occasionally stirring the wick.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yan was full of wine and food. After helping to put away the dishes and chopsticks, he thought about it and said to Ouyang Xiuya:
"I have other things to do tonight. I have to find a few people. I can't protect you and help you advance to the Golden Core Realm."
Without waiting for the other party to respond, he continued:
"I'll be free tomorrow night, so be prepared."
"It doesn't matter." Ouyang Xiuya shook his head: "I'm not in that hurry."
As far as she is concerned, it doesn't matter whether she advances to the Golden Core Realm one day early or one day late.
However, after saying this, Ouyang Xiuya seemed to realize something. She turned her head a little, and finally looked at the man opposite, and asked in a positive tone:
"Are you leaving Yehuai?
"Are you just going to stay for a few days?"
Was I being so obvious? Jiang Yan murmured to himself, shook his head, and recounted his experience of coming to Yehuai this time.
At the end, he looked a little heavy:
"The Mengxing Sect is a force that gives even our state pastor a headache. The White Crane Chamber of Commerce, where I am, is naturally not an opponent and is not even qualified to fight against it.
"I don't want to think about revenge anymore. Gathering the surviving people from Yehuai's stronghold and bringing them back to the city can be considered as barely completing the mission."
He looked at Ouyang Xiuya and added:
"Right now, Yehuai County is not stable. No one knows what the two factions are planning and whether they dare to actually cause trouble. If you are promoted earlier, you will be more able to protect yourself."
