"I saw her."
Guhan acted as if nothing had happened. "But I only saw her once when I went in. I was petrified by Medusa, so I don't know what happened to her."
That was all Gu Han said, but he didn't say anything else about Ban Lina.
Guhan didn't plan to let this matter spread. There was no need to create unnecessary trouble.
More importantly, he didn't want Song Hama to be involved in this matter. What was more dangerous than Yuan Kou was the open and hidden attacks from his own people. This matter would be shouldered by Guhan alone. If an honest person like Song Hama knew about it, who knew what would happen. Song Hama was someone who could cut down a street for Guhan. Guhan had confirmed this since he was very young.
After chatting with Song Hama for a while, Guhan used tiredness as an excuse and sent Song Hama out of the tent.
In fact, Guhan was really tired. He went to bed early and laid down beside Qingpin, preparing to sleep.
However, just as he closed his eyes, he heard his communicator ring.
"You have a call from your good friend, Liunian Ling. Would you like to accept it?"
It was a call from Liunian Ling!
Hearing the name on the other end of the call, Guhan's face stiffened. Then, it began to change colors. It wasn't until the call beeped five times that Guhan pressed a button on his personal terminal.
"Hello, what's up?"
Guhan's tone didn't sound any different from usual. It was still cold and indifferent.
Liunian Ling, who was on the other end of the call, was quite used to it.
"Can't I call you if there's nothing?"
Liunian Ling seemed to have heard this sentence often on television. Girls always liked to start with this sentence when they were being unreasonable. Once you heard this sentence, you almost knew that she was going to be unreasonable.
"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
Guhan's words were blunt, but in fact, everyone could hear the threat and fraud in his words. However, Liunian Ling did not hear it.
"Alright, I won't play with you anymore. I heard that something happened in the Meiling Mountain Range, and a Yu Level Yuan Kou Medusa appeared. Is that true?"
Liunian Ling asked through the communicator. It seemed that she was no longer in Mei Ling. She was still doing a mission with Guhan yesterday afternoon.
"That's right, Medusa escaped from the Luoting Mineral Vein.
I was inside, and I was petrified by her.
I have to thank your Liu Nian Clan. Without your Liu Nian Clan, I would have died in there. "Guhan's words contained hidden meaning.
"What? You've been petrified by the Medusas …" Guhan could almost see Liunian Ling's shocked expression through the communicator. "But why are you thanking the Liunian Clan?
What has it got to do with us? "
"Oh, I'm thanking you for your Five Fleeting Techniques. At the crucial moment, your Five Fleeting Techniques helped me delay for 0.01 seconds. Without that 0.01 seconds, I would have died."
Guhan could not think of anything to do with the Liunian Clan, so he used a ridiculous excuse to fool her.
"Idiot, when did you learn to be so glib?"
Liunian Ling did not think too deeply about Guhan's strange words. On the contrary, she felt a little sweet inside. Then, she thought of Guhan's Prince Seed and asked, "What about the Prince Seed? What happened to your Prince Seed?"
"I thought about it. The interests of humanity outweigh my own, so I handed it over to Wu Zhangshi. Thanks to his med bay, I survived." Speaking of the med bay, the immortal sword grade med bay was still in Guhan's dimensional pocket.
Until now, Guhan still thought that the med bay belonged to Wu Zhangshi. He did not know that Sword Immortal Bai Colt, Ju Wudao, had played a supporting role.
When he realized that Wu Zhangfang didn't want to take back the medical pod, Gu Han naturally put the medical pod into his dimensional pocket.
The med bay that belonged to Guhan had already been used by Guhan to save Gu Yun. Guhan happened to lack a med bay.
"That's good. It's good to help Grandpa Hao Tian.
Grandpa Hao Tian liked me when I was young and gave me a teddy bear. Unfortunately, I killed it with a sword … "Liunian Ling said quietly. As a girl, Liunian Ling could kill a cute teddy bear with a sword. There must be some interesting story behind this.
"Oh, right. Where are you now?
Didn't we agree to go to the Luoting Mineral Vein together today? "Guhan suddenly raised this question.
According to yesterday's plan, Liunian Ling should also stay with Guhan today. With Liunian Ling, the eldest daughter of the Liu Nian Family, around, Wu Zhangshi did not have the guts to do anything to Guhan.
However, early this morning, Liunian Ling left Guhan a message that said, "There's an emergency. Sorry, I'll leave first." Then, she left Mei Ling Mountain Range, leaving Guhan alone to face Wu Zhangshi.
"Sorry, it's a family matter."
Liunian Ling replied, "The family asked me to go. As the next head of the family, I can't refuse."
"Alright. That's it. I'm tired. I need to rest now."
With that, Guhan hung up the communication directly, leaving Liunian Ling alone on the other side.
"Ling, what are you doing?
Did your boyfriend, your good husband, make you angry? "
A gentle and elegant young master of an aristocratic family appeared behind Liunian Ling. Wasn't this Xu Tianyuan of the Noble Scholar Family that Guhan had met before?
"Yes. He just told me to drink more water and rest more. He was very concerned about me." Liunian Ling said through gritted teeth.
"Hehe, Ling, although I also want to rest for a while, we have to go.
Uncle Yuan Ming said that there is a Meteor Stage Yuan Kou's nest nearby. We can't stay here for long. We have to get to Changyang Mountain before tomorrow evening. "
Xu Tianyuan said. As far as the eye could see, he and Liunian Ling were surrounded by a dozen or so people.
Even further away from these people, there were a dozen or so swordmaidens holding longswords observing their surroundings on high alert. It seemed that Liunian Ling had suddenly left Plum Ridge to rush to Changyang Mountain with Xu Tianyuan. Who knew what had happened at Changyang Mountain for Liunian Ling and Xu Tianyuan to rush there at full speed?
…
After hanging up, Guhan fell into deep thought again. He was eighty percent sure that the power behind Takasaka Rena was the Liunian Family. After all, Qingpin was the swordmaiden of the Liunian calendar. No one in the world knew Qingpin better than the Liunian Family.
Although he did not know why Qingpin would appear in the Sword Burial Grounds of Yuzhang City, it was obvious that the Liunian Family had something to do with it.
However, the conversation just now made him uncertain. If Liunian Ling wanted to snatch the Qingpin sword from him, she could have done it through Liunian Ling. He had not been wary of Liunian Ling for the past few days.
Liunian Ling only needed to launch a sneak attack on him to snatch the Qingpin sword. There was no need to send a Meteor Stage like Takasaka Rena, Yuan Kou, to do it.
That was why Guhan had used words to test Liunian Ling. If the Liunian Family was really the mastermind, Liunian Ling's tone and attitude would have changed after such a thing happened. However, Guhan did not notice any change in Liunian Ling. She was exactly the same as the original Liunian Ling.
Moreover, Guhan's intuition told Guhan that Liunian Ling did not know any of this. She was sincere to him.
Then, who is the mastermind? Guhan scratched his head in frustration. Suddenly, Guhan thought of a possibility.
The mastermind was still the Liunian Family, but Liunian Ling was kept in the dark from beginning to end. She did not know that the Liunian Family was planning to make a move against her. Moreover, because of Liunian Ling's existence, Takasaka Rena could not make a move with Liunian Ling around.
Thinking of this, it was very suspicious for the Liunian Family to suddenly let Liunian Ling leave Plum Ridge. It seemed to be to lure Liunian Ling away so that Takasaka Rena could make a move. The moment Liunian Ling left, Takasaka Rena made a move. This was the most obvious evidence.
Unfortunately, this was all Guhan's guess. Without enough evidence, Guhan could not accurately determine who the mastermind was. He could only feel that the Liunian Family was very likely.
Forget it. Time to sleep.
Since he could not figure it out, he did not bother thinking about it. Guhan was already very tired. After thinking for a while, Guhan felt like his mental state was about to explode.
Gu Han shrunk his body back into the quilt and closed his eyes. A milky aroma directly rushed into Gu Han's nose.
This is Qingpin's scent. And it's the scent of the cute Qingpin!
The cute Qingpin and the young Qingpin had both been in Guhan's arms before. There was a clear difference in their body scents.
The cute Qingpin's scent was like a sweet milky scent, while the young Qingpin's scent was like a lemon. The two scents were easy to distinguish, so Guhan could tell that Qingpin's scent had returned to its original milky scent.
"Are you back?
My cute Qingpin? "
Guhan took a deep breath and pulled Qingpin into his arms. He kissed Qingpin's forehead and fell into a deep sleep.
… …
In his dream, Gu Han dreamt of thousands of soldiers and horses, an endless army that stretched all the way to the horizon. These soldiers and horses all wore iron masks on their faces, the war horses were strong, the soldiers were strong, and their weapons shone with a cold light.
These soldiers stood there quietly and neatly in formation. That monstrous murderous aura fused together. It was as if the entire world was stunned by this murderous aura. Not even the slightest breeze could be felt.
So although these soldiers raised their flags, Guhan could not see what was written on them.
Guhan just stood in front of this army, on a towering wall. Behind him was a city. Guhan had to defend this city and live or die with it.
That's right, there was also a tiger-like armored swordmistress beside Guhan.
