Chapter 660 You've Taught Me How to Say Goodbye
The night was deep, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.
A huge phantom of a city faintly appeared in front of Feiyun, surrounded by a magic array that had been set up to the seventh layer, with the magic light on it pulsating like breathing in the night.
Sitting in front of Feiyun, Xue Tong couldn't help but sigh:
"There are two more layers than when we left. The fellow Daoists of the War Puppet Mansion's Array Dao have really gone all out."
"They must have received messages from the higher-ups in various factions," Xue Lan said with a smile.
"They were frightened by my groundbreaking remarks."
Xue Tong's expression stiffened slightly.
She really didn't want to think about what happened that night.
The girl swung her legs and said, "I thought your senior uncle was going to roast you right after you were cooked in a hot pot."
Xue Lan rolled her eyes at the girl: "Are you a little hungry?"
“A little,” Xiaotong readily admitted. “So after I enter the city, I plan to get something to eat first. You can go find Cui Wu yourself.”
Xue Lan crossed her arms and looked at her: "Just going to get something to eat?"
Xue Tong and she exchanged a glance: "I want to go see Shuangshuang. I don't want to cry with you again."
"Okay!" Xue Lan nodded with a slight smile, then raised an eyebrow and said:
Can I take it to go?
Little Tong readily accepted: "That works too."
In the short time it took for the two to exchange a few words, Fei Yun had already reached the outermost array of Fuyang City.
Xue Lan landed lightly and looked at Xue Tong to the side:
"This is a no-fly zone. Do you want to come into the city with me, or do we part ways here?"
Xue Tong did not answer Lord Wolf directly, but instead expressionlessly reached out his hand: "Give me the money."
Xue Lan covered her sleeve:
"You don't need my money to eat since you're eating alone, right?"
Xue Tong snapped her fingers crisply, and then Xue Lan saw her daughter happily fly into her arms.
Yinhun was holding the Wan Gong Box and Xue Lan's money bag in his arms.
Xue Lan was utterly astonished: "Aren't you going to rebel?"
"Who wants to rebel?" Xue Tong rolled her eyes at her.
"Are you really planning to let those children keep eating fasting pills in the box?"
Lord Wolf suddenly realized.
The Wan Gong Fang is too special; it's the only sect in the entire Yuanming Realm that allows its members to travel anywhere with their belongings.
So she forgot that the children inside also needed to go outside and see the world.
Xue Lan: I have to slap myself a few times when I wake up in the middle of the night!
"it's okay no problem."
Xue Tong's heart softened immediately when she saw her extremely guilty expression.
"You've been too busy lately."
Xue Lan is the kind of person who doesn't even care about herself when she gets busy...
"It's alright, I'll take you shopping." Xue Tong patted Xue Lan's shoulder.
"Besides that, I have one more thing to do."
The girl looked at Xue Lan with a resolute gaze:
"Shouldn't Lin Su come out of the Heavenly Forging Hammer Secret Realm?"
Xue Lan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Actually, there's no need to rush."
"But there's not enough time." Xue Tong looked at her very seriously:
"Going to the Upper Realm is urgent and fraught with danger. We can't have no candidates for the position of workshop leader."
The night was as dark as ink, and the chirping of grasshoppers came from the nearby wild grass. Xue Lan spoke softly:
Are you ready to see Yu Shu?
Xue Tong pondered carefully, and the memories of the Heavenly Forging Hammer Secret Realm became vividly clear. It felt as if it had just happened yesterday.
She recalled Yu Shu's timidity when they first met, and Yu Shu's resistance when she raised the knife.
And when he killed his father... she had never seen such ruthlessness and decisiveness.
"It's alright." Xue Tong held the Soul Guide in her left hand and carried the Craftsmanship Box in her right.
"You have taught me how to say goodbye."
After saying this, Xue Tong transformed into a thin wisp of silver light before Xue Lan could speak, and disappeared in a few leaps.
Lord Wolf shook his head helplessly: "You've really grown up."
Surprisingly, the inner demon didn't mock her: "Your pet is becoming more and more like you."
Lord Wolf also stepped into Fuyang City: "No, I can't be that calm."
The demon in the center of the sea of consciousness nodded:
"Don't be sad, even wolves can't do that."
"A brave wolf will only move forward!"
Xue Lan shivered from the cold joke, and only warmed up a little when she encountered the fiery temper of the people she met after entering the city.
Following the route he remembered, Lord Wolf slowly walked towards the city lord's mansion, and casually picked up a bluebird lantern from a roadside stall.
"I'm serious. When you get to Beiyuchuan, just repeat what you just said to Jinguang, and I promise you'll let us go."
The inner demon manifested as a wisp of demonic energy, the white-clad figure exuding a chilling aura: "Freeze her?"
Xue Lan fiddled with the lantern in her hand, the wings of the bluebird covered with thin silk trembling slightly in her hand.
Lord Wolf bought the lantern with his own money, earnestly deceiving his inner demons:
"I think it's feasible. Remember to put it into practice when the time comes."
The inner demon followed Xue Lan, wanting to ask if she thought I was stupid.
Then she saw Xue Lan still fiddling with the bluebird's wings.
"What are you doing?"
Xue Lan held up the lantern: "This is for Xiao Wu. Now I'm going to make it fly."
Following Xue Lan, they arrived at the city lord's mansion. When the inner demon saw this person plop down on the steps in front of the mansion, it finally couldn't help but speak:
"Couldn't you just cast a spell?"
"That won't do!" Xue Lan refused sternly.
"A weapon refiner is supposed to do things himself, otherwise, how can I maintain my dignity?"
The inner demon was almost laughing in anger: "Does sitting in front of someone's door at night give you face?"
Xue Lan's eyes curved into crescents:
"I'm waiting for someone."
"You'd better hide!"
The inner demons didn't understand, but they still did it anyway.
Cui Wu was walking towards the city lord's mansion under the moonlight.
Several demon clan cultivators from Yandu came to deliver medicinal herbs, including a side branch of a five-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
Such a rare and precious medicinal herb naturally requires Cui Wu to handle it personally.
If the distribution is uneven, then you can expect to be secretly pricked with needles by fellow healers.
The scene of the distribution was indeed not very pleasant, but she was used to it.
It was Zheng Suihuan, on the other hand.
Cui Wu turned his head slightly to look at the girl: "Were you frightened?"
"Actually, no," Zheng Suihuan said softly, "It's just the gentle and kind senior female healers who are usually so kind..."
"Get used to it."
"I'm trying... eh..."
"Senior sister, there seems to be someone sitting in front of the city lord's mansion."
people?
Cui Wu's heart skipped a beat, and his spiritual energy instantly transformed into a protective shield, shielding him and Zheng Suihuan inside. Only then did he cautiously look towards the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.
When did this being, undetectable by the divine sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator, infiltrate Fuyang City...?
Cui Wu's mind raced, and he mentally rehearsed all the worst possible outcomes.
The first thing that catches the eye is the lotus-colored skirt, cascading like water under the moonlight. Above that is a somewhat thin face.
And a pair of grayish-white eyes.
Cui Wu's heart immediately relaxed, then began to beat rapidly.
Zheng Suihuan saw the usually composed Senior Sister Cui lift her skirt and run a few steps to the door, then speak lightly:
"Senior sister!"
The person on the steps seemed to have only now awakened from their own world and come back to life.
Xue Lan glanced at Cui Wu, who had approached, and gently waved her hand, "Wait for Senior Sister."
Cui Wu waited obediently.
Half an hour later, Xue Lan finally put the wings of the Bluebird Lantern back on, and then clapped her hands gently.
With a clear chirp, the bluebird spread its wings and soared into the sky, circling Cui Wu once. Then it obediently landed on the woman's left.
Xue Lan patted her clothes and stood up: "This is for you, do you like it?"
Cui Wu raised his hand and teased the little bird: "I like... Senior Sister..."
The words that were about to come out caught in his throat. Cui Wu looked at Xue Lan's unhealthy complexion and somewhat tired expression.
She wanted to ask if the trip to the desolate region had gone smoothly, and how her senior master Shen Suan was doing.
But in the end, she only spoke softly:
"Senior sister, would you like some osmanthus cake?"
