Chapter 535 Under the Mask
Jiang Ran's previous judgment was correct.

Walking down from here, after walking about six or seven miles on the mountain road, we saw a small courtyard.

The middle-aged man has arrived at the door of the courtyard.

With the support of Ye Jingshuang and Tang Shiqing, Jiang Ran limped to the front.

He looked up and curled his lips:
“There is such a small courtyard in this remote, remote place where no one has visited.

"By the way, uncle, do you have anything shameful about living here alone?"

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, looked back at Jiang Ran, and shook his head:

"I don't know where you came from. I am kind enough to take you in. If you don't want to live here, you can continue to wander in the mountains.

"Let's see if you guys can survive tonight."

"This senior, please don't get along with him...he is just spoiled by Uncle Shi."

Ye Jingshuang rolled his eyes and spoke softly.

"You girls are still sensible...it's strange. You are all good-looking, but you have such bad eyesight that you fell in love with such a fool."

"Hey! What did you say?"

Jiang Ran was furious.

The middle-aged man had already opened the door and walked in:

“Besides, I’m not the only one living in this house.

"There is still a wife and daughter living here... Brat, you'd better stay away from my daughter.

"Otherwise, I will let you know that I am more terrifying than the poisonous insects and beasts in this mountain!!"

“It’s so scary!!”

Jiang Ran rolled his eyes.

Ye Jingshuang and Tang Shiqing looked at each other and found a smile in each other's eyes.

Jiang Ran was pretending to be a playboy, but he was actually very into it.

He followed the middle-aged man and entered the door.

I saw shelves in the yard, with various medicinal materials, dried poisonous insects, and rare and exotic herbs placed on the shelves.

"It turns out that senior is a doctor."

Ye Jingshuang spoke softly.

The middle-aged man paused and was about to speak when he heard a cough coming from the room.

His expression changed, and he quickly came to the door without caring about Jiang Ran and others, opened the door and rushed in.

The woman's voice spoke urgently:
"You're back. Take a look. She's coughing up blood again..."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Just rest assured. I'll show Yan'er a look."

Although it is said to be "see no evil" and it is not appropriate to peek into someone's room, the door is wide open and the situation inside can be seen clearly from the outside.

I saw a girl lying on the bed, she looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.

His face was pale, but with a different red color, and he looked quite sick.

At this moment, there was a wisp of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

The middle-aged man carefully wiped it off with a handkerchief, then took her wrist and placed his fingers on it...

Just when I saw this, I saw a middle-aged woman walking to the door, bowing to everyone, and then closing the door.

Everyone looked at each other, and Demon Crossing Hades whispered:
"Your Majesty, what are you..."

"They have nothing to do with our affairs. In that case, we still don't want to make them feel that they have met a group of people like us.

"Anyone who wants to investigate can only find out that he met a group of young ladies who strayed into the mountains instead of the demon king who came from Jin Chan...

"You can rest here for the rest of the night and hurry up early tomorrow morning."

Jiang Ran responded casually, and the reason why he did this was not only for this reason, but also because this middle-aged man was not an ordinary person.

Otherwise, the worst case scenario would be to just grab your legs and leave.

Both of these couples have martial arts skills and profound knowledge in medical skills. Otherwise, they would never know how to attract the King of Hell soldiers in this way.

Such a person must have some secrets.

My group triggered the mechanism they set up and attracted their attention. If we don't give a reasonable explanation, it's hard to say what the result will be.

Acting like this now is the best choice to fundamentally prevent accidents.

Of course, there is another way to kill people and silence them... but this method has never been Jiang Ran's first choice.

"That girl doesn't look good..."

Ye Jingshuang spoke in a low voice.

Jiang Ran nodded:

“Although it was only from a distance, it seemed that she must have been poisoned.

"This person attracts the soldiers of the King of Hell. There are many poisons on this shelf. Most of them want to fight poison with poison.

"It's just that this method may have some effect on the poison in this girl's body, but the conflict between two poisons in the body is like two tigers fighting.

"Although they will damage each other, the child's body will most likely be the first to be unable to support it."

"Brother Jiang...can you..."

When Ye Jingshuang said this, she stopped talking again.

Now that they are the core of the world's storm, at this juncture, naturally they should not create additional branches.

Jiang Ran nodded:

"I will take care of it. If there is a chance, it is better to save him if he can... However, this middle-aged man has some tricks, so maybe we don't need to worry."

Ye Jingshuang was relieved after hearing this.

For Jiang Ran, if something like this happens, he can't just ignore it.

Neither he nor Ye Jingshuang are good people who save people in distress and cannot save the common people.

But as far as the matter in front of him is concerned, if he doesn't do it, it will be difficult for Jiang Ran to accept it.

This middle-aged man put up a lantern in the mountain and knew that someone had entered by mistake. He did not harm them when he saw the 'children of aristocratic families' and took them home to rest for a night. This shows that he is not a bad person. In this situation, he can help Just help as much as possible.

After doing some calculations in my mind, I heard a creaking sound.

Jiang Ran immediately softened and lay directly in Tang Shiqing's arms.

When the middle-aged man opened the door and took a look, he immediately bared his teeth and said:
"I deserve to be blinded... Okay, I just had something to do and I couldn't take care of you.

"Hmm... Just make a living in this place for one night. Well, it's up to you how you want to live.

"No matter what happens, even if you end up in this courtyard with the sky and the earth covered, it's still better than losing your life outside.

"By the way, the rooms on both sides are equipped with fire pits. They haven't been inhabited for a long time and are quite cold. Even in this season, they are still damp.

"There is firewood behind the house. You can use it to burn the kang... You don't even know how to do this, right?"

"Yes, yes!"

The eldest princess nodded immediately:
"Don't worry, we can do anything."

Jiang Ran subconsciously rolled his eyes. Anyone can say this, but the eldest princess said it. Why is it so unbelievable?

But the middle-aged man believed it. After saying that, he returned to the room, closed the door again, and left the matters outside to their own devices.

Jiang Ran and others looked at each other.

Finally, I checked the conditions of the left and right wing rooms separately.

There are big Kangs in the side rooms, which can accommodate many people.

The beddings are all in the cabinet. They are not dirty, but a little damp.

There is some dust on the kang, but with a little cleaning it will be fine.

After a few people summed it up, Jiang Ran said that he and Demon Crossing Pluto lived in the west wing, and the other girls lived in the east wing.

As a result, Tang Shiqing and Tang Huayi were the first to be unwilling and wanted to stay with Jiang Ran.

Ye Jingshuang was silent, but Ye Jingxue stood up and said that she wanted to live together, at least to give her sister a voice.

As for the eldest princess... they all live together, how can I be separated from them?

The final result was that Jiang Ran, Shi Qing Huayi and others all lived in the east wing, while only Demon Crossing Pluto lived in the west wing.

Demon Crossing Pluto was speechless for a while, so he could only go over and tidy up the house, burn the kang and sleep.

Jiang Ran had almost packed up the things on the kang, and asked Ye Jingxue to bring back the firewood.

But Jiang Ran had to do the actual lighting of the fire himself.

Although this is a trivial matter, everyone who has done it knows how to do it... But these are either the eldest ladies in the demon sect, the descendants of famous families, or the eldest princess who has a noble status and is indescribably precious.

When have you ever done such a small thing?
Jiang Ran, the 'dandy young man', squatted on the ground with a speechless face and lit a fire on the kang.

Just when I raised my head, I found several girls sitting in a circle on the kang. Under the firelight, they looked more and more beautiful.

For a moment, I couldn't help but feel anxious.

Ye Jingxue glared at him:
"It's okay if you watch them swing. Why are you watching me swing?"

"..."

Jiang Ran's ripples immediately calmed down.

He curled his lips and said:

"One rat excrement spoils the whole pot of porridge."

"Who are you calling rat shit?"

Ye Jingxue was furious and wanted to come down and fight Jiang Ran.

But he was pulled by Tang Huayi:
"Okay, okay, don't be so harsh, there are people like him hanging around every day.

"What kind of husband can you like in the future?
"Is it someone who is better at martial arts than him? Or someone who is more handsome than him?"

"..."

Ye Jingxue was speechless for a while.

His martial arts skills are higher than those of the current Demon Lord?

Even if it's a thousand-year-old monster... Didn't you see that even the White Jade Tower was beaten into ashes by him?
He was bragging well, what a three-move trick... but after two moves, he was dead.

Such a guy, who has higher martial arts skills than him?

As for looks...

Ye Jingxue originally wanted to be unconvinced, but then she looked at Jiang Ran who was squatting on the ground making a fire.

I found that even if this guy was in such a situation, with the fire light flickering on and off, his face was still outstanding, making people's hearts beat.

"What a vixen!"

Ye Jingxue snorted and didn't want to look. Jiang Ran: "??"

Then he became angry:
"Who is a vixen? I'm a man, and you call me a vixen. Do you think that's fair?"

"There are male and female foxes, so why can vixens only be female?"

Ye Jingxue snorted:
"My sister was deceived by this vixen-like stinky man like you!"

"Xue'er."

Ye Jingshuang took Ye Jingxue's hand and gave her a helpless look:
"Stop arguing."

"The louder the voice, the weaker the heart."

Tang Huayi hummed twice:

"Let me see how long you can last.

"Don't forget, he's not done healing you yet. If you have skin-to-skin contact every day, I can't believe you don't feel anything at all."

"I...I will strangle you to death, you little witch."

Ye Jingxue couldn't defeat her, and in anger, she immediately pounced on her and got into a ball with her.

Jiang Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry at first, and wanted to persuade him not to be impulsive.

But watching the two beauties rolling on the kang, I didn't feel it was noisy, but rather enjoyable.

I'm too lazy to take care of it.

The two girls struggled for a while and finally stopped.

Jiang Ran was almost done with the kang at this time. The kang was radiating so much heat that he couldn't sit still and burned his buttocks. Everyone had to sit in a circle and take out their bedding and put them on the kang to bake a little.

"How can I sleep soon?"

I don’t know who raised this question first.

"The vixen is sleeping in the middle."

Ye Jingxue said:
"Whoever you love sticks to him, whoever sticks to him, I don't stick to him anyway."

"It's not your turn."

Tang Huayi said:
"I sleep next to my brother-in-law."

While speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Jiang Ran, his big eyes blinking:

"OK?"

Jiang Ran was happy and was about to nod when he saw Ye Jingshuang and Tang Shiqing looking at him secretly.

It's not easy to decide at the moment.

He coughed, and was just about to find a topic to talk about, but suddenly his ears twitched:
"Someone's here again."

Tang Shiqing raised her head after a while:
"There are a lot of people, maybe about twenty people...

"It's fierce and coming straight to this place."

"Are you here to find us, or are you here to seek revenge?"

The eldest princess spoke in a low voice.

Jiang Ran shook his head:

"Let's wait and see what happens."

After finishing his words, he turned around, exhaled, and blew out the oil lamp in the room.

The fire went out and the whole room suddenly fell into darkness.

Several people gathered together, and Jiang Ran was squeezed in the middle.

The warm fragrance of nephrite was all around him. Even though he was treated like this every day, for some reason, he felt a little extra uncomfortable tonight.

"They are still some distance away from here... probably still have to wait a quarter of an hour..."

Tang Shiqing said:
"How about we turn over the quilt first and burn it later."

Everyone nodded.

At this moment, someone knocked on the window.

Jiang Ran came to the window without any surprise, opened the window, and saw Mo Bai standing outside the window.

After seeing Jiang Ran, he stepped a little bit and his body moved away like a shuttle.

After Jiang Ran pondered for a moment, he looked back at Tang Shiqing and others:
"I'll come as soon as I go."

"it is good."

Everyone agreed, and Jiang Ran got out, followed Mo Bai's footsteps, and ran outside for a short distance.

At this point, Mo Bai stopped.

Looking back at Jiang Ran:

"The host asked me to tell you that she probably figured out the identity of this family.

"That head of the family should be the third head of the Xinglin Hall in Liguo...

"This person's name is Su Qing.

"People in the world call him 'Exquisite Hands and Benevolent Heart', and his medical skills are extraordinary.

“However, this kind-hearted man with extraordinary medical skills could not save his daughter.

"It is said that Su Yan'er has a strange disease and there is no cure.

“No matter how many people in Xinglin Hall tried their best, they couldn’t save him.

"In order to save her daughter, Su Qing gradually stopped showing up in the world, but she didn't know that she was hiding here in seclusion."

Jiang Ran nodded lightly when he heard this:

"Does Aunt Rou know if Su Qing has any enemies?"

"...With his skillful hands and benevolent heart, he has saved many people in the world. He doesn't have many enemies, but there are many who have benefited from him.

“It is said that even Bai Yulou once received his help.

"Your Majesty asked about the enemy... Could it be that you have discovered something?"

"Someone comes here late at night, and judging by his appearance, he is not a good person."

"I see."

Mo Bai nodded:

"That being the case, do you plan to stay here, Your Majesty? Or should you leave first? Li Guo's grudges have nothing to do with us, so it's better not to get involved."

Jiang Ran smiled:
"A chance encounter is also fate, just wait and see what happens."

"Okay, I will convey your intention to the host..."

When Mo Bai said this, he paused and glanced at Jiang Ran:
"The relationship between Your Majesty and the host is really good."

Jiang Ran suddenly raised his head and looked at Mo Bai:
"What do you want to say?"

"nothing……"

Mo Bai smiled:
"I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"and many more."

Jiang Ran suddenly said:
"Brother Mo Bai, have you and I met somewhere before?"

Mo Bai turned back and glanced at Jiang Ran:
"That's what I'm saying...how can I have such an honor to meet your Majesty?"

"In that case, why don't you take off your mask and let me see your true face?"

Jiang Ran took a step forward as he spoke.

Mo Bai was stunned:
"Does Your Majesty plan to take off my mask by force?"

"Why not?"

Jiang Ran smiled and said:

"Could it be that there are rules in your sect, and you have to kill anyone who takes off your mask?

"We have to see if you have such ability."

Even if there were such rules, Mo Bai couldn't kill someone like Jiang Ran.

He subconsciously took a step back:
"I……"

As soon as I said a word, my shoulders felt tight:
"Why be nervous?"

Jiang Ran's voice came to my ears.

"Your Majesty, I belong to the poster...it's reasonable to wear a mask. If your Majesty takes it off forcibly, won't you worry about offending the poster?"

Mo Bai forced himself to speak, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Jiang Ran smiled:
“The more you say that, the more curious I become.

"Besides, you don't have to worry. Your host is my nanny and has an extraordinary relationship with me. Even if she is angry with me, it will only be temporary."

After saying this, Mo Bai suddenly raised his shoulders, trying to shake Jiang Ran's hand away, followed by his feet, and ran out.

However, how could he escape so easily when he fell into Jiang Ran's fingers?

Jiang Ran clasped his fingers and pushed him down to the ground on one knee.

The whole body was pierced by a force in an instant, and the whole person seemed to be nailed to the ground by an invisible big nail.

Jiang Ran stood with his hands behind his hands:

"You can still move your hands, so take them off yourself and don't let me take action."

"...Jiang, you..."

Mo Bai gritted his teeth.

Jiang Ran turned to look at him and narrowed his eyes slightly:

"At this point, why don't you take it off? Even so, I'll help you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hooked his five fingers, and the mask on Mo Bai's face flew directly into Jiang Ran's palm with a whoosh.

The next moment, our eyes met...

Jiang Ran was dazed for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses:

"Oh it's you……"

Mo Bai quickly reached out and covered his face, but he knew that even covering it was useless.

He sighed helplessly:
"Master Jiang... long time no see."
