"I thought he was praising me because he felt that I brought his soul back."
The next moment, Jiang Kuan immediately took things seriously and said, "In fact, these two days, I have been around here. The Daoist Cave Mountain has been on fire, and the fire is in the mountain waist. It's terrifyingly large. The relevant departments of the city have gone there with helicopters and have not managed to extinguish the fire."
"A lot of people ran down the mountain, including some Taoists and others. Some were injured, and some looked very scared."
"The news has spread everywhere. Xiandong Mountain has Tian Gong Quan, who can solve the Three Pestilent Beetles! In the past two days, many Taoist temples have been stirred up, aiming to take aim at Tianshou Temple!"
"Last night's thunder strike hit right on top of the mountain!"
"Is it thunder magic?!"
Jiang Kuan spoke on, becoming increasingly excited.
"Go, go, drive. How can you say that?" Old Gong shouted at Jiang Kuan and interrupted him.
Jiang Kuan licked his lips, and as he walked towards the car, he threw a glance at Qin Yi, his eyes lighting up even more.
"I just realized that Qin Yi's eyes when looking at Jiang Kuan are particularly abnormal."
Recalling that Jiang Kuan had once said that he spent a lot of effort in fooling Qin Yi and capturing him to the Tian Shou Temple.
No wonder Qin Yi was on his guard with him...
"Up until now, I simply explained to Qin Yi that Jiang Kuan is controlled by the Tian Shou Temple. Although he was not a good person before, he is now the only one who can help me find her on the mountain, as it depends on his information."
Qin Yi only nodded slightly, and the tight face relaxed a bit.
During this time, Jiang Kuan gave Qin Yi a thoughtful glance. He was a clever man, and my words obviously revealed quite a lot.
"The group got on the car."
Jiang Kuan was driving towards a direction that was further away from Jianghuang City.
I shouted at him to stop driving away and turn back to Jianghuang City.
Jiang Kuan was taken aback, and he seemed to be very puzzled. He muttered, "Master, the Tianshou Temple has been troubled a lot by you. Now that my soul has been brought here..."
I interrupted Jiang Kuan's words.
I told him that there were two purposes for going back to Jianghuang City: one was that I still had some matters to attend to in the city, and the other was that I wanted him to take Little Art Sister to another place.
Jiang Kwan did not speak much, maintaining a quiet attitude of listening to my words.
Qin Yi showed a slight confusion and said, "Shen, where are we going? Don't we go to the Si Guo Mountain?"
"No, not yet. The Si Guo Mountain still has some big moves planned, and it's not convenient for you to go there. I'll arrange for Jiang Kuan to take you to a safer Da Xiang."
"Da Xiang?" Qin Yi's eyes showed more confusion.
I did not explain any further.
This matter serves as a preemptive warning to Jiang Kuan. He will naturally start to think about some things now.
And I still need to contact Huāyíng or Huāqí, and carefully explain Jiang Kuan's situation to them.
For a moment, the car became much quieter.
After driving for a while and reaching the busy national highway, Qin Yi quietly asked if she could make a phone call to Sun Zhuo.
She has been softly imprisoned by the Tianshou Temple for these years. She wants to contact Sun Zhuo, but she doesn't have his phone number. She often doesn't see him more than a few times a year.
And even when they meet, there are always people watching them outside.
I am slightly silent for a moment.
I don't have Sun Zhuo's phone number anymore.
Of course, it should be there. Even if it's not, she should be able to get it from someone else.
But, would it be beneficial to tell Sun Zhuo that Qin Yi is in my hands now?
In fact, the Tianshou Temple doesn't even know that I climbed up the mountain.
I will indeed make Sun Zhuo panic, but Sun Zhuo will definitely immediately find someone from the Tianshou Temple and spread this news out, which will completely point the finger at me!
Therefore, I made up an excuse and said, "He is in seclusion, with the True Immortal Mingjing teaching Taoist law, and he cannot contact the outside world. If he finds out that you have been saved by us, he will have no heart to practice his cultivation. He wants to see you, and this is not good for him."
"Yes! Yes!" Qin Yi nodded repeatedly, holding back the emotions of longing on her face, with a bitter expression.
"It was still my father who hurt him. He insisted on associating with the people from the Guàn character. Because of that, the people from Tianshou Temple saw his potential and abducted me. They wanted to force him to submit, but now it's better thanks to Shen and you."
I hesitated slightly.
Sun Zhuo's lies are really impeccable.
Sun Da Hai also did his duty as a father, taking most of the blame for him.
I comforted Qin Yi with a few words, implying that once Sun Zhuo comes out of his seclusion, he will naturally contact her and even go to pick her up in person.
Qin Yi's eyes were filled with expectation.
Jiang Kuan occasionally glanced at us through the rearview mirror, and I constantly watched his eye movements. There was nothing abnormal.
Now, it can be initially judged that Jiang Kuan's problem isn't too serious.
We have entered the city.
Jiang Kuan did not go back to his home but instead went to an abandoned factory.
The chaos at the Tianshou Temple must have distracted them from paying attention to this place.
Jiang Kwan's intention seems to be to take away as many cultural relics from the Jianghuang Ghost Cult as possible. Perhaps, there will be something useful for me.
I did not refuse.
The treasures of the Ghost Tomb are mostly related to zombies. I can't use them now.
But after Jiang Kuan takes them to Da Xiang, the Huà family may find them useful.
Even if we take it a step further, Fan Jie will definitely be able to use them.
Once we arrived at the place, after Jiang Kuan went to tidy up the things, I and Si Yanyan gave each other a subtle hint before moving a little further away and contacting Huāyíng again.
I thought it was Huà Qióng who answered the phone.
But to my surprise, the voice on the other end was actually Huāyíng's "Hey."
It's been a long time, but no, actually it's not that long. It just has a lot of things happening.
Hearing Huāyíng's voice made my heart flutter uncontrollably.
I took a deep breath and finally said in a hoarse voice, "Everything is fine. It should take another ten days or so to get the new Si Guo mirror."
"Well, I also caught Qin Yi. Actually, we know each other..."
I concisely conveyed the situation with Qin Yi, Jiang Kuan, and my plans to Huāyíng.
I tried to ignore her sudden departure as much as possible.
I advised Huāyíng that when Jiang Kuan arrives, she can work with Huāqí to research how to better defend against the Ghost Tomb organization in Daxing City and ensure their safety.
As for Qin Yi, take good care of her for now.
After everything was said, a heavy stone was lifted from my heart.
"I understand," Huāyíng replied softly, with a hint of tenderness and joy.
"See, I think I'm right, Shen. You are going to admit it."
I hesitated and said, "Admit what?"
Huāyíng hesitated for a moment before changing the topic and said, "Little Qí is calling me. You tell Jiang Kuan to contact this number when he gets to Da Xiang."
With a click, the phone was hung up.
I took another deep breath of relief before returning to the factory.
Jiang Kuan has already packed two fully loaded suitcases.
I briefly told Jiang Kuan about some things, and also advised Qin Yi not to worry, saying that once they arrive in Da Xiang, the situation regarding her safety would be much easier than it is at the Tianshou Temple.
Qin Yi nodded seriously, asking me to pass a message to Sun Zhuo that she is safe and for him not to worry.
Later, Jiang Kuan took Qin Yi away.
Only I and Si Yanyan remained.
After a moment of thought, I told Si Yanyan to stay at the house of Shang Tai Sui for a few days, and I planned to go to the ghost shop in Jianghuang to take care of some personal matters.
Si Yanyan's expression was slightly unnatural and said, "You want to go find that family, the Luo family? Brother, there are some things I'm not clear about, but I still understand some things. After all, when we were in Qianyang, Sun Zhuo's intention to target you was very strong. From some of his words, I could already guess some situations."
"That family is not safe, and I can guess the connection between you and them. But we... it's best to just quietly wait for time, get the Si Guo mirror, and then go back to the mountain as soon as possible."
"The Luo family in Qianyang consists only of Luo Muyao and his wife. Since they have both passed away long ago, there is no need for you to have any connection with another Luo family. Moreover, their family is not simple."
"The situation at the old patriarch's place is not clear yet. I don't know if they have...... turned against Zheng Ren!" Si Yanyan hesitated before changing her words.
"And now, the Si Guo Mountain is your home!"
Her last sentence was said with a slightly heavier tone.
