Chu Yan coughed slightly, with a hint of hidden awkwardness in his voice: "Don't say that."
Oops, this man is actually shy!
Jian Anran's eyes suddenly lit up!
It’s not easy to see Chu Yan looking shy!
She leaned a little closer, her eyes sparkling and a bit endearingly wet: "I'm telling the truth. Is there any problem with telling the truth these days?"
Chu Yan pursed his lips and did not answer.
But the reddish ear tips gave everything away.
Jian Anran also accepted it and stopped. If he continued to tease her like this, what if Chu Yan became impatient?
However, Chu Yan, who is shy and slightly frizzy, is exceptionally cute!
She leaned against the quilt in a happy mood and hummed softly.
By the time they arrived at the stone gambling den, it was already afternoon.
This is the largest stone gambling center on the border, where good and bad people are mixed. Not only that, many people have made a fortune here, and many people have gone bankrupt here.
It is no joke to be poor and rich at the same time.
As soon as they entered the stone gambling den, Jian Anran and the others heard the sounds of joy and remorse intertwined with the sounds of pain.
Jian Xingxing had never seen such a scene before. He couldn't help but grasp the corners of Jian Anran's clothes, lowered his voice, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, why does this place feel so messy?"
"It's just because it's very messy, so I didn't want you to come here."
Jian Anran had helplessness written all over her face, after all, this was not a good place.
But since you are here, it would be nice to let the brat like Jian Xingxing gain some exposure.
"You just follow me, you know?"
Jian Anran warned her again worriedly.
After all, it is my own pet peeve. If something really happened, it would be terrible.
This time, Jian Xingxing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
There was an uncle next to him just now, crying so hard that it was really scary.
How could any adult cry like this?
As a child, Jian Xingxing had never seen such a scene before.
He grabbed Jian Anran's hand tightly at the corner of his clothes again.
In this case, it is more appropriate to stay close to your mother.
It's rare for a family of three to come to the stone quarry together, especially with a little guy like Jian Xingxing.
Everyone's eyes fell on Jian Xingxing's body, which made Jian Xingxing's scalp numb for a while.
Sure enough, some places are really not suitable for children.
The stone betting ground is very large, and it took Jian Anran and others more than two hours to walk around here.
But I can still see Master’s shadow at all.
This made Jian Anran feel more and more uneasy.
Just like when I was at the ancient tomb in Yunnan before, there was news about the master, but no one could be found when I arrived.
"It's okay, let's look for it slowly."
Chu Yan saw Jian Anran's anxiety, and the man calmly held Jian Anran's hand. Although his voice was low, it had a reassuring tone.
Jian Anran turned around and smiled at Chu Yan: "Okay, I have a photo of Master from a few years ago. We can ask about it with the photo."
"OK."
With Chu Yan standing next to Jian Anran, even though Jian Anran's beautiful appearance attracted the attention of many others, no one dared to come forward.
"Hello, have you seen such a person here?"
Jian Anran took the photo to a stone stall owner and asked.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked at the photos on Jian Anran's mobile phone, thought for a moment, and then shook his head and said: "We usually have a lot of people coming and going here. If you ask me,
I’ve never met such a person, so I definitely can’t remember him.”
He looked at the photo intently for a while, thinking: "But the person in the photo looks like a fairy. At first glance, he is not an ordinary person. If you have seen him, you will definitely have an impression."
"But I really have no influence at all. I must have never seen it."
Jian Anran nodded slightly, not surprised: "Okay, please."
I asked several stall owners in the same manner, but they all got similar answers.
Asked over and over again, they all received disappointing answers, which made Jian Anran feel a little melancholy.
"It doesn't matter, we'll look for it again."
Chu Yan comforted her.
The three of them wandered around the stone gambling den for a long time, but still found nothing.
Jian Xingxing was a little tired from walking. He punched his calf and groaned: "Sister, I can't do it anymore. I feel like my legs are about to break."
"Take a rest, I'm a little tired too."
Jian Anran nodded and found a bench nearby to sit down.
It's really strange, why is there still no news about Master here?
Logically speaking, there would usually be no problems with the news about Sixth Senior Brother, but this time the master was not found, which was a bit strange.
Is there something really wrong with Master?
Just when Jian Anran was thinking, Jian Xingxing tugged at the corner of her clothes, lowered her voice and said, "Sister, something is wrong here."
"Um?"
"The jade here has a very low luster, as if the spiritual energy on the jade has been sucked away."
Jian Xingxing's eyes swept over the piles of seemingly ordinary stones, and her little brows furrowed.
Those who practice Taoism can see the spiritual energy on jade.
The more spiritual energy there is, the better the quality of the jade stone.
Jade contains spiritual energy and can nourish the human body.
Hearing this, Jian Anran suddenly became alert.
Her attention had been on looking for her master before, so she didn't even notice it.
Jian Anran closed her eyes and felt it carefully.
Suddenly, her expression changed: "I felt the evil spirit in the breath, but the breath was very weak. There are many jade stones here, and the evil spirit was covered by the spiritual energy, making it difficult to find the source."
But no matter what, the presence of evil spirits is not a good thing.
Chu Yan also became vigilant after hearing Jian Anran's words.
After these days, he has been able to understand that this situation is very dangerous.
"Xingxing, we can't rest anymore. Let's first find where the spiritual energy has been absorbed."
Jian Anran's expression was serious, she held the spell in her hand and chanted it softly.
The spell spontaneously ignited without fire, turning into gray-white powder and falling to the ground.
The powder roughly takes the shape of a scissor.
"Come this way, let's go take a look."
Following the arrow prompts, Jian Anran quickened her pace.
But soon, they arrived at the most prosperous area of the stone casino.
The place is bustling with people, and many people are betting on stones.
Several stone-cutting machines were too busy to stop.
Jian Anran stood there, felt it carefully again, and took out the compass.
The compass needle was spinning rapidly as if out of control.
"This is it, the eye of the Spirit Gathering Array."
