The little one held Lan Shengxue's hand tightly. Lan Shengxue's strength was surprisingly strong, "If you talk again, don't blame me for being rude to you."
The little one stared at her.
Lan Shengxue really couldn't bear to be angry at such a little guy, "Little one, be obedient and don't yell, and I will let you go, okay?"
The little one thought for a moment and nodded.
Lan Shengxue felt that the child was innocent and kept his word, so he slowly let him go.
"Here comes someone! There's a thief -" the little boy suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.
Lan Shengxue: "..." Cunning!
The little one's voice was so loud that it almost instantly alerted the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.
Lan Shengxue knocked the little boy unconscious with one blow, picked him up and ran away.
That night, the guards in the city lord's mansion were completely in disarray and chased Lan Shengxue for eighteen streets.
Lan Shengxue carried a child on her shoulders and ran for eighteen streets. Before dawn, she finally got rid of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion. She was so tired that she almost collapsed. She found an alley and sat down, taking a deep breath.
Why are the people in the City Lord's Mansion so difficult to deal with?
Lan Shengxue looked at the unconscious little boy in her arms, pursed her lips, and carried him back to the inn. As soon as she entered, she saw Gong Qianjue. He had obviously not left her room all night.
The slovenly Gong Qianjue narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw Lan Shengxue coming back with a baby in her arms.
Lan Shengxue ignored his look, put the little one on the bed, and then drank tea like a normal person.
"I went out to hunt for treasure, but I didn't bring back the treasure. Instead, I brought back a child?"
Lan Shengxue glanced at him and said, "I'm willing."
"The breath is disordered, overused, what? Are you being hunted?"
Lan Shengxue's eyes drifted over, "You are really thoughtful, it can be seen from this. You should change your outfit. This outfit does not suit your thoughts."
Gong Qianjue's expression was calm, "Can I leave Baocheng tomorrow?"
"You can leave if you want." Lan Shengxue looked at him, "Can you think of a way to get to the Magic City as quickly as possible?"
Gong Qianjue pondered for a moment and wrote a sentence on the table: "So the reason why you run around so late at night, even at the risk, is to find a way to get to the devil's capital?"
"good."
"Let's go together. Sooner or later, we can reach the Magic City. The scenery along the way is beautiful. You can enjoy it."
"I don't have the leisure time! Since you can't think of a way, then follow my way."
"I went to the City Lord's Mansion, but what did I find out?"
"Crane in the clouds."
Gong Qianjue's writing hand paused slightly, Yun Zhonghe...?
The legendary fairy bird?
Lan Shengxue really dared to think.
"Hey, that's amazing. Looking at you, do you know Yun Zhonghe?"
"Know a little bit."
"Tell me about it?"
"This is a fairy bird. It is almost extinct in Treasure City. Although there were rumors earlier that there was a fairy bird in the city lord's palace, those rumors were not proven in the end. Obviously, the rumors were just rumors."
"You mean I was thinking in vain?"
"almost."
"There must be a reason for this rumor to come out of nowhere. I have to check if it is true or false first."
"So...you don't believe what I said?"
"I believe in myself more than I believe in you."
Gong Qianjue: "..." Do you have to be so straightforward?
"That child, how do you explain it?"
"There's nothing to explain. He just came to cause trouble for me on purpose.
