After hearing this, Bai Ran chuckled lightly and immediately explained:
"Miss Xin misunderstood. The person behind me is not a living person, but an armored corpse that was refined below. You will know after a brief inspection with your spiritual sense."
After Bai Ran said these words, he consciously stopped moving forward, and Xin Ruyin, who was waiting to speak, identified Qu Hun's zombie identity.
Sure enough, after a moment, Xin Ruyin's voice sounded again.
"Ruyin has misunderstood. Senior Bai, please come in!"
There was some apology in Xin Ruyin's voice, but she smiled innocently and drove the divine wind boat out of the passage without caring.
As soon as Bai Ran flew out, his eyes lit up. The group of bamboo houses that he had visited once before appeared in front of him.
In front of the bamboo house, two women were standing, it was Xin Ruyin and the pretty maid beside him.
It was just that the two of them were wearing plain white clothes, and Xin Ruyin was dressed like a young woman, which made Bai Ran stunned.
"The widow, Mrs. Xin, has come to pay respects to Senior Bai."
When Xin Ruyin saw Bai Ran appear, she stepped forward and bowed lightly, but her haggard and sick look made Bai Ran suspicious.
"Miss Xin, you don't have to be polite!" Bai Ran said politely with doubts.
At this time, the little maid behind Xin Ruyin also came forward and bowed to Bai Ran.
Bai Ran nodded absently.
Obviously, Xin Ruyin had no intention of having a long conversation with Bai Ran here. She forced a smile and introduced Bai Ran into a larger bamboo house.
As soon as he entered the house, Bai Ran was shocked.
I saw a dark spiritual tablet placed on a wooden table facing the door of the house. On it were written "Husband Qi Yunxiao" and other large characters. There was a small incense burner in front of the spiritual tablet, with several incense candles lit on it.
, slowly blowing out green smoke.
Seeing this scene, how could Bai Ran not know what happened?
Qi Yunxiao was actually dead, which surprised Bai Ran so much.
So after the shock, he sighed softly, took the initiative to take out a bunch of incense candles from the table, lit them, bowed twice, and then gently inserted them into the furnace.
"Miss Xin, what happened?" After paying homage, Bai Ran turned around and asked softly.
"This is a long story. Come with me to another room, Senior Bai. Let me talk to you." Xin Ruyin's eyes turned red and she said weakly.
Today's Xin Ruyin still doesn't have the shrewd and capable appearance in Bai Ran's memory. She is completely a pitiful little woman.
Seeing this, Bai Ran could only nod silently.
So, Bai Ran, led by Xin Ruyin, came to the room next door and sat down.
The little maid made Bai Ran a pot of tea and poured a cup with her hands and feet.
Bai Ran took a sip of fragrant tea, put down the teacup, and said in a deep voice:
"I didn't expect that after only a few months of not seeing each other, Taoist Fellow Qi would meet with something unexpected. What a trick of fate! By the way, I don't know when Miss Xin and Fellow Daoist Qi got married. If I knew, I would have sent a congratulatory gift in advance.
"
After hearing what Bai Ran said, Xin Ruyin smiled bitterly, but before she could speak, the pretty maid behind her answered for her first.
"Senior, after Mr. Qi was killed, my young lady voluntarily came to live with Mr. Qi as his widow."
This sentence made Bai Ran very shocked, and he couldn't help but look at Xin Ruyin in surprise.
"Xiaomei, you are right! I did volunteer to be a widow for Mr. Qi." Xin Ruyin saw Bai Ran's eyes full of surprise and nodded slowly.
"This..." Bai Ran was speechless.
"I have been greatly helped by Mr. Qi for saving my life several times, and I have never been able to repay it for a long time. If Mr. Qi is safe and sound, I will marry him sooner or later. Now I just did what I should do!" Xin Ruyin
He stretched out a white jade wrist, gently pulled a strand of hair in front of his forehead, and said calmly.
After hearing this, Bai Ran couldn't say anything. Next, Xin Ruyin quietly told Bai Ran the story of Qi Yunxiao's murder.
It turned out that for a period of time after Bai Ran left, Qi Yunxiao and Xin Ruyin were still very cautious and refused to go out because of Bai Ran's instructions. However, two months later, Xin Ruyin was in urgent need of a very rare weapon because he was researching formations.
To get the materials, I had to plan a trip to a nearby market.
As a result, Qi Yunxiao accidentally found out about this matter. This infatuated man who was pursuing Xin Ruyin naturally took the matter over and went to help Xin Ruyin.
But he never expected that when Bai Ran saved Xin Ruyin last time,
Those monks who died turned out to be members of one of the largest immortal cultivating families in Yuanwu Kingdom.
With so many direct descendants missing inexplicably, the Fu family naturally wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.
As a result, the Fu family monk who had been wandering around for a month or two met Qi Yunxiao who appeared out of nowhere.
If Qi Yunxiao is scheming enough and has rich experience, he will not be able to cope with this level without any evidence.
But unfortunately, he was too honest.
He started to panic after being asked only a few relevant questions. This naturally aroused the suspicion of the Fu family, who immediately had to restrain him and take him back for closer investigation.
Qi Yunxiao naturally refused to be captured without hesitation. As a result, relying on the good magical weapons on his body, he managed to escape from the hands of several Fu family Qi-refining stage immortal cultivators and immediately fled back to his residence.
In this way, Qi Yunxiao could be killed!
The monks of the Fu family soon followed the traces to his residence. However, Qi Yunxiao's large formation killed and injured more than a dozen monks in a row. The Fu family was shocked and angered, and actually dispatched a great master of the alchemy stage.
As a result, after half a day of strong attack, the formation outside was completely destroyed.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yunxiao saw that something was not going well, and hurriedly deployed a more powerful illusory formation behind the big formation, unexpectedly temporarily trapping the monk in the alchemy stage, and he took advantage of this opportunity to escape.
Of course the other Fu family monks would not just let him go.
As a result, although Qi Yunxiao relied on the remaining formations to escape the enemy's siege, the shopkeeper's loyal servant died on the spot. He was also seriously injured. As soon as he escaped to Xin Ruyin's residence, he died
Angry.
However, the Fu family was still at a loss and still searched Qi Yunxiao everywhere in an extremely angry manner, and even left someone at his residence to monitor him day and night.
This leads to the scene where Bai Ran kills the two Fu family monks, one old and one young.
After listening to Xin Ruyin's story, Bai Ran felt a little sad.
Although he is not close friends with Qi Yunxiao, he is really a pretty good person.
I didn't expect that he would die so soon. What an unpredictable situation!
"Senior Bai is here because of the ancient teleportation formation, right?" Xin Ruyin suddenly asked calmly after telling what happened.
"Oh, this matter is not urgent..."
This sentence made Bai Ran look embarrassed!
After all, her nominal husband had just died, so now was really not the right time to ask about this matter.
"I've almost repaired the teleportation array. I'll give it another month to complete it!" Xin Ruyin seemed to notice Bai Ran's embarrassment, but she continued to talk slowly.
"Really?" Bai Ran couldn't help but perked up, with a hint of joy on his face.
"It's true. Not only will I completely repair the teleportation array, but I will also give two things to Senior Bai!" Xin Ruyin said calmly, and immediately took out two jade boxes from the storage bag and put them in
On the table.
"Is this?" Bai Ran was really stunned, with a look of astonishment on his face.
"Of these two boxes, one contains my husband's "Yunxiao Experience" and his collection of weapon refining classics, and the other contains all my hard work on formations and a large number of formation Taoist books. I hope that senior can collect them.
Get these things." Xin Ruyin said calmly.
Hearing what Xin Ruyin said, Bai Ran's heart trembled. After looking at the two jade boxes, he stared at Xin Ruyin and asked with an unchanged expression:
"What does Miss Xin mean by this? Why do you want to give these extremely precious things to me? If you have anything to say, Miss Ruyin can say it directly!"
Bai Ran's voice sounded a little cold.
"These things are given to Senior Bai. I just want a word of promise from Senior!" Xin Ruyin did not avoid Bai Ran's gaze at all, with a hint of determination on her face.
"What promise?" Although Bai Ran vaguely guessed the other party's intention, he still asked in a deep voice.
"If one day Senior Bai can really enter the Dan Formation Stage, I hope that Senior can destroy the Fu family for my wife and I, and completely make the Fu family disappear from the Yuanwu Kingdom."
Xin Ruyin's voice was as cold as ten thousand years of ice. Even when Bai Ran heard it, she was so excited by the hatred in her words that she shivered.
