The apprentices who were picked up were cut in vain

Xie Yan and his group embarked on the road to send Zhou Guangji back home after resting for a few days.

Xie Yan himself didn't have anything to clean up. He turned under the straw bed several times, and then stopped resignedly after making sure that there was nothing left.

As expected of Zhou Guangji's experience in the rivers and lakes, he made dry food from the grain sent by the villagers, wrapped it in a clean cloth, and handed it to Yun Yiyuan.

Yun Yiyuan rented a carriage at the foot of the mountain, and the three of them drove towards Yuecheng.According to Zhou Guangji's recollection, he is a disciple of the Cangjian Sect, and the Cangjian Sect is located in a deep mountain in Yuecheng. It is not the kind of sect that has too much contact with the outside world. It takes a lot of work.

Along the way, Yun Yiyuan didn't say much, even though Xie Yan spoke out, Yun Yiyuan still looked lonely, and his answers were extremely perfunctory.

After all, it was the senior I respected who was going to die, so it was probably really uncomfortable.Thinking of this, Xie Yan leaned against Yun Yiyuan, and generously offered his shoulder, "Brother apprentice, if you are sad, I will give you my teacher's shoulder."

Yun Yiyuan looked at the perverted expression, "Master, I didn't cry."

"It's okay, it's said that men don't flick their tears lightly, that's not where they are sad, although you Senior Zhou wants that... But you still have Master, and Master's arms will always be open to you!" Xie Yan said , opened his hand towards Yun Yiyuan.

Yun Yiyuan looked at Xie Yan for a while, then carefully moved his buttocks, keeping a certain distance from Xie Yan.

Xie Yan got bored, sat back in his seat, and looked out the window calmly, as if nothing happened.

Zhou Guangji watched their master and apprentice playing tricks, shook his head helplessly, and just about to say something, the carriage jolted violently, and the driver outside also shouted.

"Whose doll is on this good road?"

baby?Xie Yan quickly lifted the curtain and poked his head out, "Driver, did you bump into someone else's doll?"

"This... this doll suddenly appeared in the middle of the road. I... didn't do it on purpose!" The coachman looked like he was about to cry, "This road is rarely used by people, and there are no people nearby. How could it be?" There's a doll!"

Xie Yan looked at Xiaowa in front of the carriage, and saw him sitting on the ground, looking at Xie Yan in a daze, with a confused expression, as if he didn't know what happened.

"Don't be fooled by other people's children!" Xie Yan got out of the car, helped the child up, and asked, "Little friend, do you feel pain? Where do you live?"

The child looked at Xie Yan, suddenly stretched out his hand and tapped Xie Yan's forehead, and at the same time muttered something.

"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly." Xie Yan moved closer to the child, wanting to listen to it again, but the child closed his mouth tightly and stopped talking.

"This..." Xie Yan scratched his head and looked at the coachman, "How far is this from Yuecheng?"

"Guest officer, you can enter the city after walking for another hour." The coachman replied.

"Take this child with you. If you can't find his parents, leave it to the government." Xie Yan said, bent down to pick up the child, and got into the car.

"It looks so small, it's quite difficult to hold." Xie Yan panted and put the child down. Seeing Yun Yiyuan and Zhou Guangji's surprised faces, he quickly explained, "We bumped him, so we can't leave him behind. Don’t worry about it on the way, I just want to take it to the city first..."

"No, Brother Xie, we can understand your kindness. It's just that there are so many spirits and monsters in this mountain, and the child's appearance is so sudden. It's not sure what kind of monster it is. We really have to guard against it." Zhou Guangji said, looking at That child, seeing his appearance, seemed to be a little scared, and threw himself into Xie Yan's arms.

"Let me see." Yun Yiyuan approached Xie Yan, reaching out to touch the child's forehead.

"It's so hot!" Yun Yiyuan withdrew his hand, frowned, "This child is hot all over, could he be sick?"

"Ill?" Xie Yan also touched the child's forehead and found that it was really hot, so he hurriedly shouted out of the car, "Driver, please hurry up! This child is sick!"

"Okay! Sir, please sit down!" The coachman responded, raised his whip several times, and accelerated his speed.

"Congratulations to the player for picking up the key quest npc. Next, the quest progress panel will be opened for you. You can check the quest progress at any time. The current progress is 10%."

Xie Yangang stared at the child for a long time, then heard a series of subsystem prompts, Xie Yan looked at the baby in front of him dubiously, just this brat, is the key npc?

"Please treat the npc well. The success or failure of the mission depends on him. Good luck!"

good luck?Xie Yan checked the progress panel just launched, and found a gray frame on it, which said, "Key Person".

The frame of the key person is already lit up, it's the child's headshot, Xie Yan stared at the headshot, wondering if it's possible that he has to go through this little doll in front of him to send Zhou Guangji back to his sect?

"Why is it so troublesome..." Xie Yan muttered.

"You were the one who picked up this child, and you were the one who said it was troublesome. Brother Xie, you are too entangled." Zhou Guangji laughed, "But I don't see anything weird about this child. It shouldn't be a monster."

They are all key npcs, so naturally they cannot be monsters.Xie Yan reached out and rubbed the child's head, and asked, "Little friend, where is your home? Yuecheng?"

The child blinked at Xie Yan, and then spoke, "Cangjian sect."

"What?" Xie Yan's eyes widened, thinking he had heard wrong, "Where is your home?"

"Cangjian faction." The child replied again, with correct words.

Xie Yan subconsciously looked at Zhou Guangji, Zhou Guangji looked at the child with a complicated expression, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Zhuming." The child looked at Zhou Guangji, with a little doubt on his face, "I seem to have seen you before."

"Have you met him?" Yun Yiyuan said incredulously, "You look ten years old at most. Although he is from your sect, he is dozens of years older than you. I'm afraid you were never born. How could you possibly have seen him?"

"I've seen it." The child nodded and said, "I've really seen it."

"You said you met me, so do you remember my name?" Zhou Guangji looked at Zhu Ming and asked.

"I don't remember, I've met too many people, but you are special." Zhu Ming replied.

"This child is too strange." Yun Yiyuan leaned closer to Xie Yan's ear and whispered, "We can't just let our guard down like this."

"Ham, since he said that he is a member of the Cangjian Sect, we happen to be going there too, so let's take him there along the way, so we can let him lead the way." Xie Yan said.

"Then how can it be done? If it really turns into a ghost, wouldn't it cause trouble to Senior Zhou's sect?" Yun Yiyuan said with a serious face.

"Oh, a grand sect that has been around for hundreds of years is afraid of a child?" Xie Yan was noncommittal, "That sect has failed too much, it might as well be disbanded on the spot."

"Master! Senior Zhou is still here!" Yun Yiyuan wanted to cover Xie Yan's mouth.

Zhou Guangji did not respond to Xie Yan's words, but kept looking at the child in front of him. The child was not as scared as before, and looked directly at Zhou Guangji without avoiding it at all.

After that, the three of them didn't talk much, and the child sat in the corner very quietly.The carriage soon arrived at the gate of Yuecheng, Yun Yiyuan paid the fare, and the three of them walked along the very lively street with a child.

Yuecheng is far from Shengjing, but it can be considered a prosperous city.The city was bustling and bustling, so Xie Yan found it new, and started the bad habit of running around again, gradually throwing Yun Yiyuan and the others farther and farther away.Xie Yan saw a glutinous rice cake stall, and was about to go there, but he didn't want to take two steps. With a strong fragrance of powder, Xie Yan immediately embraced the red fragrant nephrite.

"What's the situation?" Xie Yan was taken aback, and looked down into his arms. It turned out to be a coquettish woman in heavy make-up. Seeing Xie Yan look at her, she even gave him a few winks.

"Oh, little brother, it's your first time in Yuecheng, do you want to come to the sisters' building and have a good time?" The woman's voice was soft, and her hand was still sliding on Xie Yan's back intentionally or unintentionally.

"Huh?" Xie Yan hurriedly straightened the girl upright, looked at the building in front of her, hey, Hongxianglou, could it be that this is a must-have in every time-traveling novel, brothel?

"Well, sister, I really want to go to your place to play, but..." Xie Yan coughed a few times, and asked in a low voice, "I have no money..."

"No money? What are you wandering around on the street without money?" The woman immediately changed her expression, and the winking eyes just now turned into supercilious eyes, and she twisted her waist and was about to leave angrily.

"Hey sister, why don't you rush away, do you know where the Cangjian faction is?" Xie Yan asked.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Cangjian faction uttered the words, the woman froze. She turned around and looked at Xie Yan in horror, her lips trembling, "You...you belong to the Cangjian faction?"

"Ah? I'm not. I have a friend going there... Eh? Why did you run away?" Before Xie Yan finished speaking, he saw the woman rushing into the building and closed the door behind her.

"The door is closed in broad daylight, are you planning to do business?" Xie Yan looked puzzled, but he couldn't think of a reason.

"Master! What are you doing here?"

Xie Yan followed the reputation, and saw his little apprentice Yun Yiyuan walking towards him angrily, and pulled his sleeves, "You are a cultivator, what are you doing in this kind of place!"

"Ah, your master, I'm not going to visit a brothel." Seeing Yun Yiyuan's angry face, Xie Yan suddenly felt a little funny, "Why, is my disciple angry with me?"

"You forgot that you ran around last time, and you were almost killed by the rat demon. You dare to run around this time? Are you afraid of another accident?" I just looked for Xie Yan for a long time.

"In such a big city, what can happen, besides, I am the master, so you are so useless as a master?" Xie Yan smiled and wiped the sweat from Yun Yiyuan's forehead behind him.

Yun Yiyuan was taken aback by Xie Yan's sudden action, he loosened his grip on Xie Yan's sleeve awkwardly, and said, "Anyway, don't run around, Senior Zhou and the others are waiting for you at the inn .”

"Who said I just ran around casually, I was going to scout for information." Xie Yan said pretending to be mysterious, "This Cangjian faction may not be that simple."
