The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 189: A long-awaited tryst (1)

Jingchen closed the scroll that had been sealed before and picked it up carefully.

At this time, others were still in a guest room of Wenxin Gate, preparing to go out.

Before, he summoned Chenchen out, and seeing that its condition had improved after leaving the theater city but it was still weak, he temporarily placed it in the care of Qionghua. Although the two did not get along, Chenchen was Mu Hanxing's pet after all, and Qionghua would not neglect it.

Feng Xiao also got the real orchid grass from Su Su and gave it to Qiong Hua to continue developing the antidote.

Because they successfully rescued the sect leader and brought him back to the mountain, no one dared to stop them when the sect disciples saw them again. Plus, with Tang Huanyun protecting them, no one dared to yell at them and everyone had to be respectful.

That day, when they came back, Tang Huanyun saw his nephew sleeping peacefully on Jingchen's back, and he felt happy and distressed. The heavy burden still fell on her, but now he had no choice. Now, everything would wait until Mu Hanxing woke up before rewarding her.

After Cui Ren and Lin Yifeng returned safely, they never came out of the room. They both said that their spiritual energy was exhausted and they needed to go into seclusion and rest for a few days.

At this critical juncture, Jingchen was preparing to return to Ningguo, but Mu Hanxing had not woken up yet, and he was a little worried, so he went out to check on her room.

Before this, Qionghua had examined her and found that she had consumed too much spiritual energy, and her blood was surging, so she was exhausted both mentally and physically.

As for the others, no one dared to neglect them given Tang Huanyun's authority. Chuntao and Gong Yu were arranged to stay in the guest room to rest for a while. He didn't know where Feng Xiao went, and he didn't care.

However, as soon as he stepped into Mu Hanxing's room, he saw Feng Xiao sitting on the corridor bridge in the outer hall.

When the two met, they didn't quarrel like they did in the past. Feng Xiao saw him and said first, "I'm unhappy and depressed. Don't go and make trouble for me."

Jingchen was suspicious: "Unhappy? Then she is awake? Why is she unhappy?"

As I was asking, someone came out. She had calm eyes and a haggard face, and she did not look in a very good condition.

When Mu Hanxing saw the two of them, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. It now seemed that these two people didn't seem to be acting in front of her all day.

"You're awake, how do you feel? Why are you angry?" Jingchen stepped forward and asked with concern.

Thinking of this, Mu Hanxing's face darkened again. She had a nightmare when she fell asleep. In the dream, Su Miaoying was pierced through the chest and abdomen by ghost claws. The scene was too unforgettable, causing her to sleep for a long time, as if she was possessed by a ghost and could not wake up.

She sighed, "This is the first time a mortal has saved my life. I feel very uncomfortable."

Feng Xiao was present at the time and saw it clearly. It turned out that the city lord was unhappy because of this matter. He couldn't help but feel his heart tremble. She seemed to be... different from before. It was not obvious on the surface, but the difference was huge in the details.

Jingchen guessed it when he saw Su Miaoying disappear, but he did not expect that Su Miaoying died to save her.

"At that time, a lot of my spiritual power was absorbed by Lan Qin's evil spirit. It was extremely risky to continue the confrontation for a long time. I couldn't weaken her power unless the eye of the formation was broken. However, the eye of the formation was inside the curtain and I couldn't get in. Even my sword couldn't cut it. I was thinking that I might as well let her catch me in the curtain...Su Miaoying chose to commit suicide, and the evil spirit turned her into a shadow puppet to hold on to the curtain, and then let me find a way to manipulate her to break the eye of the formation inside the curtain." As she spoke, her throat choked and she felt uncomfortable again.

"Control? Does the city lord know this kind of magic?" Jingchen asked.

Mu Hanxing explained: "At that time, she gave me the amulet she had worn since she was a child. I can feel that there is a magic on the amulet. Although I don't know what it is, it can indeed temporarily control its former owner. If it weren't for her, if it weren't for the amulet... maybe we would still be trapped in the theater city and unable to leave."

"That amulet might have been given to her by that fortune teller." Jing Chen remembered the amulet that the fortune teller had picked up that day, and his expression was full of regret. "But the amulet has lost its power, so it should no longer be useful. I don't know his identity, but there was indeed a mysterious Taoist priest in Huajing who would give a talisman to mortals as a talisman to ward off evil spirits and take refuge. Once the owner of the amulet takes it off, there is a possibility that the evil spirit will invade his body. If the owner of the amulet dies, the magic power on it will completely dissipate before long."

So... that's how it is, everything is fate, everything is destiny.

She lowered her eyes. She didn't expect that the stinky Taoist priest whom Su Miaoying hated so much had been protecting her in the dark.

"Ah..." She sighed again with regret and melancholy, "After that...where are the bodies of those people?"

She felt a chill down her spine when she recalled the scenes of dismembered bodies being forcibly placed in seats as spectators.

"Lan Qin's evil spirit is indeed one of the best among the evil ghosts I have seen. If someone dies in the illusion she created, the body will be taken into the previous illusion and will never be able to come out again. Therefore, the bodies of that group of people can never be found again." Jingchen explained.

He was actually left in the city of illusion forever.

She felt very sad and nodded weakly, "I understand."

"There is one more thing. I want to go to Huajing. I will come back soon after I finish my business." When Jingchen talked about this, his face changed slightly and he became solemn.

Mu Hanxing knew that he would most likely go back to settle accounts with Emperor Ning. Even without her having to read the sealed scroll herself, she could tell roughly what happened. The State of Bo was plundered by a joint conspiracy between the Western Rong people and Emperor Ning, which was why it had completely lost all traces in history. It was in ruins and buried by wind and sand, which was its original appearance.

"Okay, go ahead." Mu Hanxing allowed him to settle the accounts and it was okay to kill him at the same time, although he didn't know if it would violate any taboos.

"Yes, I'll leave now." Just as Jing Chen was about to leave, he turned back and glanced at Feng Xiao, "When I'm not around, you should keep your eyes and ears clear. It's hard to say what Cui Ren and the others are doing."

Feng Xiao drove him away expressionlessly: "No need for your instructions, just go and do your thing, you don't have to come back."

Jing Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him. He used his spiritual power to summon the Jade Ruyi, which soon flew away with the wind and disappeared into the horizon.

"Come on, I'll take you out for a walk so you won't be unhappy." As soon as the person left, Feng Xiao quickly stepped forward and stretched out a hand.

Mu Hanxing was indeed depressed and upset. She glanced at him calmly and held his hand: "Cui Ren and the others have been quiet these days? Have they said anything bad about me behind my back?"

"Not yet. Gong Yu and Chun Tao are watching her, and your junior uncle has also sent people to keep an eye on her." Feng Xiao pulled her out.

"Okay, go and relax."
