Chapter 193 The Ultimate Blind Man
Chapter 193 The Ultimate Blind Man
The passenger ship to Qinglin City was moving very slowly. This was the first time Xue Tong had sat on a ship since she came to this world and had her own body. She started to feel seasick shortly after boarding and vomited violently.
Even turning into a ball of light and flying into the air couldn't alleviate the problem.
Xue Lan originally intended to use spiritual power to alleviate her symptoms, but then discovered that Xue Tong's body could not absorb the spiritual energy of the Yuanming Realm at all.
The girl wiped the sweat from Xue Tong's forehead. She patted her head tenderly, saying, "Why don't we go back into the Chonglou Illusionary Treasure Map?"
The little girl lay on the bed and shook her head: "No, I have a psychological trauma from that place."
Xue Lan asked curiously, "What kind of psychological trauma?"
Xue Tong staggered to his feet and picked up the teapot from the table.
Xue Lan quickly went over and pressed her hand down: "I'll do it!"
Xue Tong plopped back down on the bed: "Lord Wolf, you really have a bad memory. Have you forgotten that you played with the Heavenly Thunder by yourself last time and put me inside the Chonglou Illusionary Treasure Map?"
Seeing Xue Tong's guilty expression, Xue Lan gently placed the teacup in her hand into Xue Tong's hand: "I'm sorry, I made you worry!"
Xue Tong finished her tea: "Although I still want to pretend a little, I don't want to lie to you..."
The little girl looked up at Xue Lan, her eyes filled with a sinister killing intent: "You know that after the master dies, the cave-heaven type of magic treasure will close the cave-heaven by itself, right?"
Xue Lan had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next second Xue Tong jumped up in front of her and reached out to grab Xue Lan's collar: "You could have just died outside, why did you have to trap me inside? Were you... up to no good back then!"
Xue Tong spoke the last few words very loudly, and Xue Lan felt a buzzing in her ears.
The girl looked dazed: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."
He verbally admitted his evil deeds, but then took out a small roll of Scarlet Jade Spider silk from his sleeve and began to tidy it up.
The top weapon-refining genius in the lower realm of Yuanming has his own rhythm.
Xue Tong watched her movements and slowly released Xue Lan's collar: "I've never seen you so diligent before. You started working before it got dark!"
This wasn't Xue Tong mocking Xue Lan. Xue Lan simply had a habit of refining artifacts at night. Although she would do some things during the day, her concentration was better at night.
Xue Lan thought to herself, "Of course it's because Yan Chengxue's task is too heavy!"
She did send the broken array plate back to Yan Chengxue, but Yan Chengxue didn't let her off the hook!
Such a long list.
Xue Tong slowly raised her head, feeling her groggy head clear up considerably. The young girl adopted a calm and composed demeanor: "Birds of a feather flock together."
Xue Lan nodded in agreement, recalling Yan Chengxue's madness.
Over the next few days, the passenger ship carrying the two traveled north along the Qinglin River, passing through three cities along the way, and finally arrived at the dock of Linyun County on a sunset with colorful clouds in the sky.
The moment Xue Tong stepped onto solid ground, she was so moved by the feeling of her feet touching the ground that she almost cried.
The little girl looked at Xue Lan behind her and said, "Can we stop taking boats from now on?"
"Of course... Sister is an immortal, but there are only a few conditions."
Xue Tong bent over and laughed, then slowly said after a long while, "I'm hungry!"
"Then let's go in and eat!" Xue Lan pointed to the city in front of them.
Looking into Xue Lan's grayish-white eyes, Xue Tong turned around and tugged at her sleeve: "Can't you just keep pretending to be a normal person?"
Xue Lan was pulled into the city gate by the little girl, whose voice was tinged with mischievous laughter: "Aren't you interested in those human traffickers? Doesn't this make me look even easier to bully?"
As the sun set, the streets of Linyun County were deserted. Just as Xue Tong was about to say that no human trafficker was so open and aboveboard, she noticed several malicious gazes.
Xue Lan felt the person holding her hand stiffen.
"Right? Right? How could the people who practice the art of mutilation and cutting off tendencies let go of a blind woman like my sister?"
Xue Tong was a little angry and quickened her pace. The extremely blind Xue Lan staggered and almost lost her footing, looking weak and pitiful.
Xue Tong's voice was cold: "Don't pretend. Even if you're going to be kidnapped by human traffickers, at least you had a decent meal beforehand, right?"
Xue Lan thought about it for a moment and felt that Xue Tong's words made sense, so the two of them headed straight for the largest restaurant in the city.
They should have a meal first; it seemed that they didn't need to worry about anything else.
As the two entered the restaurant, the two men standing on the street corner exchanged a glance without making a sound, then simultaneously got up and went to a quiet corner.
"There's not much good stuff in this bunch," said a middle-aged man with a thick beard.
"Be content. Since last year, those officials from Shaoyi County have been relentlessly pursuing us. Several of our goods have died and we can't sell them. The higher-ups are about to get angry!"
A seemingly kind middle-aged woman looked at the person opposite her, her eyes filled with undisguised greed.
"Those two girls were quite nice, weren't they?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment: "In this day and age, who in Da Shun would dare to leave a young girl alone in Linyun County? She might be a young lady from some martial arts sect. If we accidentally offend her, it could be troublesome."
"Waiting to scout out the location..."
A moment later, the two parted ways.
One returned to the street corner, while the other, carrying his vegetable basket, headed towards the restaurant where Xue Tong and the other person were eating.
Inside the restaurant, a large table laden with dishes lay before Xue Tong. The young girl, head down, ate for a long time before finally looking at Xue Lan and speaking, as if remembering something:
"Did your master send you here and tell you what to do?"
Xue Lan shook her head helplessly: "My master has always been rather capricious in his actions."
"You've spoiled me with my carefree attitude, haven't you? If I had a disciple who was extremely shrewd and could help me train other disciples, I wouldn't do anything either."
Xue Lan was stung by her words and retorted somewhat unwillingly, "I'm not that kind of person!"
Xue Tong placed a piece of plump fish into Xue Lan's bowl.
"That's just the kind of person you are. Ever since you discovered that Cui Wu is very steady in his work, you've stopped caring about things at Luoxia Mountain."
After Xue Lan finished eating that piece of fish, she couldn't refute it.
"Sometimes I really like people who are reliable and steady in their work!"
Xue Tong wondered if it was just her imagination, but after she said those words, Xue Lan's dull gray eyes lit up for a moment.
The young girl raised her hand to interrupt Xue Lan.
"So, Lord Wolf King, as a blind man who was targeted the moment he stepped off the ship, what are your plans?"
Xue Lan said confidently, "Let them arrest me, and then you go find someone to help me!"
Xue Tong almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"That's it?"
Xue Lan nodded: "That's it!"
