Later, Qin Yanzheng was walking back and forth in the living room of the Qin Mansion, his face turned pale.
Early this morning, the servant who went to deliver food to Bai Ran came to report that Bai Ran was not in the house, as if he had not returned home all night.
This made this person very worried. He was not worried about Bai Ran's safety, but he was afraid that the bodyguard would suddenly leave without saying goodbye. How would the Qin family deal with the harm of the devil?
"Qin Ping, go see if Master Han is back, and report as soon as there is any news!" Qin Yan ordered impatiently.
"Yes, sir." Qin Ping replied respectfully with secret joy in his heart. Then, he ran out of the hall in a hurry.
In his opinion, the more Qin Yan cares about Young Master Han, the more it proves that he is holding the right position. It seems that his career in the Qin residence is just around the corner.
"Master, why are you doing this? It's normal for young people to go out for a walk occasionally. Why are you so anxious to get angry!" Qin Yan's favorite third lady was also in the hall. Although the words she said were for
The words were excusable, but the sour taste in his voice was still very obvious.
It's no wonder that since Bai Ran arrived at Qin's house, the head of the Qin family has always taken Bai Ran with him. Some of the young masters and young ladies of the Qin family who were originally very fond of have stopped supporting them.
The children of these three ladies are now extremely jealous.
"Humph, what do women know?" Of course Qin Yan could hear the meaning of the third lady's words, but he was concerned about the life and death of his family, so he could not care about these trivial matters of jealousy. After glaring at her, he ignored her.
Already.
Qin Yan's attitude naturally made the third lady feel even more aggrieved, but she also knew that her husband hated women being playful and noisy, so he had no choice but to swallow the resentment and stopped speaking, worried but talking to Bai Ran.
Adding a bit more anger.
I don't know how long it took, but Qin Ping suddenly ran back with a happy face. As soon as he entered the house, he shouted:
"Master, Master Han is back, and he has brought several guests back to his house. Master Han hopes that the master can arrange for these people to stay near his residence."
When Qin Yan heard this, he finally put his heart back in his stomach. As long as this great god didn't leave without saying goodbye, let alone bring a few friends, he would bring back a dozen or dozens of people.
Any complaints.
"Since Nephew Han said so, just let them stay in the nearby Qingyin Courtyard. Don't neglect Nephew Bai Ran's guests." Qin Yan said without thinking, which made the third lady's face look even more ugly.
"Yes, let's do it now, little one!" Qin Ping ran out in a hurry again, looking very motivated.
"Master, there's something wrong with this! Our Qinzhai family has a great business, so it's too rash to let a few strangers suddenly move in!" The third lady couldn't help but said carefully.
Her words were not directed at Bai Ran, but she really felt a little uneasy.
Qin Yan was slightly stunned after hearing this, but after a moment of hesitation, he waved his hand and said:
"It's okay. Nephew Han's friends won't have any problems."
Hearing Qin Yan's doting words, the third lady was completely speechless.
…
At this time, Bai Ran was sitting on a chair in his residence, with five other people sitting in front of him. They were the Five Friends of Mengshan.
The young man among them was talking about something incessantly, while the others occasionally added a few words to the side, with a thoughtful look on their face.
In the wilderness outside Yuejing City, Bai Ran relied on his powerful spiritual consciousness to successfully wipe away the blood curses of the four previous people, and then led these people to sneak into the only middle-aged woman left behind.
Surprisingly, they took it out very smoothly without any difficulty.
Although he was a little surprised, Bai Ran still solved the blood curse for him and took them back to Qin's house.
In fact, it is not impossible for these people to find other places to live, but Bai Ran is indeed a little worried about these people.
Without him watching, he couldn't guarantee that the Five Mengshan Friends would honestly fight against the enemy with him, even if he had the grace to understand the curse for them.
The human heart is the most unpredictable!
Today he may be extremely grateful to you and be willing to risk life and death for you, but tomorrow he may feel that his own life is more important and may do any ungrateful and despicable thing. This is not surprising!
Moreover, they have no sworn sworn relationship with him, and most of them still
Cherish your life!
Of course, if you impose bans and use poison on them, it is not impossible to control them by force. But if you do this, I am afraid that in their minds, you will be no different from those people. As time goes by, they will definitely suffer backlash.
If he only wanted to leave a bad impression on the other party, Bai Ran wouldn't use this method anymore. But deep down in his heart, Bai Ran still had some other ideas.
If the Seven Sects really resisted the invasion of the devil this time and resumed their previous cultivation career, Bai Ran planned to find some people to help him collect elixirs and medicinal raw materials. This way he wouldn't have to travel around so hard.
, you can devote all your time to hard training, and the progress of your training will definitely be greatly improved.
And the five friends of Mengshan are not too weak or too high in magic power, so they are the best suitable candidates. So Bai Ran does not intend to use some shady means to forcibly control them.
However, Bai Ran is also self-aware. There is not enough benefit. Even a cultivator with a low level of cultivation will not be an errand boy for other monks. Moreover, what is the character of these people? He has to interact with them for a while before he can rest assured.
. We have to wait until this matter is over before we make a decision.
"...I'm so ashamed! Until now, except for a few immortal cultivators who have been held captive like us, the two of us have not seen the true face of the two people who gave the orders! We really don't know much!
"After the young man finished saying everything, he smiled bitterly.
"It's nothing. We already know that the other party is a cult called the Black Evil Cult, and that the other party arrests people mainly for practicing evil skills. This is enough." After Bai Ran listened, he smiled calmly.
"But, Senior Bai! Are we just going to hide here and wait for reinforcements to arrive before taking action?" The newly rescued middle-aged woman suddenly asked tentatively.
After hearing this, the other four people also looked at Bai Ran with concerned expressions to see how he would answer this matter.
Bai Ran sneered inwardly after hearing this. These people seemed to be eager to have contact with the Heisha Cult people again. But there were no reinforcements to be sent from the seven sects! Now, in order to fight against the demonic people, each sect even left those who stayed behind.
His strength is greatly lacking. Even if he tries to report it truthfully, no one will come.
But fortunately, when he returned just now, he sent a letter asking for help to Li Huayuan through the Qingyun Sect contact person in Yuejing, and explained the matter a little bit.
The sect does not ask about this matter, but this master will not ignore it. He got into such a big trouble just to do something for him, and he could only hold on and not run away! Otherwise, if he couldn't afford it, he would still
Can't afford to hide? He's already gone!
But Bai Ran really doesn't know much about what kind of reinforcements will come. He will probably send a few of his senior brothers.
With this thought in his mind, Bai Ran replied with a relaxed expression:
"Of course it won't work. At the very least, we should know more about the opponent's strongholds and important figures before reinforcements arrive, so that we can attack them at once. Otherwise, it would be too passive to just wait in Qin's house. This
It also gives them time to trace our whereabouts, which is very detrimental to us. We must not allow the other party to arrange everything calmly!"
After hearing Bai Ran's words, the five Mengshan friends looked at each other in confusion, while the dark-faced old man stroked his beard on his chin and said in a deep voice:
"What the seniors said makes sense, but with the clues we have, we can't catch them at all! The original stronghold we stayed in must have been abandoned by them, and we seem to have nowhere to start!"
The tall and thin man nodded silently in agreement.
"Don't worry. Judging from the two Black Demon Cult members you described giving orders, I already know who those two people are. As long as they are captured alive, more than half of the things about the Black Demon Cult can be clarified."
Bai Ran seemed to have expected it and said calmly.
These words made several people stunned at first, and then they all showed expressions of surprise, and they felt even more inscrutable towards Bai Ran!
"Okay! Since Senior Bai has already made a plan, we will just follow his instructions." The black-faced old man said decisively.
Bai Ran listened and nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's act tonight. The faster we act, the less likely the opponent will be wary." Bai Ran narrowed his eyes and said coldly. "Tonight?" The five friends of Mengshan couldn't help but look surprised.
