Chapter 251 A word is settled (second update)
"Mr. Xu, you shouldn't be called by this name, right? Guiling Palace is the demon cultivator sect in the north that is at war?"
When Han Ruyan saw the scene in front of her, she felt a little physically uncomfortable. This method of taking someone's body was very demonic.
As for the legend of Ghost Ridge Palace, she had also heard about it before.
This demon sect is still very well-known in Qingzhou. In addition to the recent battle of Jinsha River and the ongoing sect war, if Qingzhou also has a popularity list, then the name Guiling Palace will definitely be on the list.
"My name, don't ask if you shouldn't ask."
Su Jie's physical injuries were recovering rapidly, granulation sprouts appeared, and the broken flesh gradually grew evenly.
The recovery power inherited from the Thousand-Hand Centipede was taking effect, and this scene stimulated Han Ruyan's senses again.
"Speaking of which, Tianxuanyao Light Body, if I bring you back to Ghost Ridge Palace, there should be quite a reward."
Su Jie lifted Han Ruyan's chin and clicked his tongue.
Han Ruyan's body was tense, now she was helpless, even Mo Shiyao collapsed and fell into a coma.
If Su Jie takes her away by force, she really has nothing to do.
Even though she had no spiritual power and her cultivation was at the seventh level of Yunling Realm, she had no combat experience and knew that she could not be Su Jie's opponent.
"Young Master Xu has no way of repaying you for saving your life. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, I will definitely help you."
Han Ruyan gritted her teeth and didn't know what to say.
"It just so happens that I need you to help me keep secret what happened tonight. Don't reveal my identity as a demon cultivator. Can you do it?"
This was what Su Jie was waiting for. When he faced Zhong Shiguan just now, Han Ruyan showed very good character. Su Jie thought that he could still try to trust him and planned to continue to disguise his identity.
"I promise you."
Han Ruyan agreed without even thinking about it.
Although she didn't know why Su Jie came to Han's house, the other party did save her life. This request was too simple.
"It's a deal!"
Su Jie stretched out his palm.
"A word is settled."
Han Ruyan high-fived Su Jie and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Jie saw Mo Shiyao blinking her eyelashes and was about to wake up, so she stopped talking in time.
"Hey, what's wrong with me."
Outside the yard, the maid who had been knocked unconscious by Su Jie woke up in a daze.
"My head hurts."
Mo Shiyao also woke up at the same time.
"Yeah, miss."
The maid was a little confused, and she was very puzzled when she saw her young lady wearing a gauze in the room.
"Xiaodie, go find my father and the others."
Han Ruyan returned to the house and changed her clothes. Not long after, she saw the maid returning, followed by a large group of people.
"How are you, Ruyan?"
Han Jinghuan looked worried.
"Dad, my daughter is fine. Mr. Xu saved me."
Han Ruyan shook his head and answered generously.
"Which Mr. Xu?"
Han Jinghuan was stunned and had no impression.
"Xu Changqing is the talented person you recruited today, dad."
Han Ruyan looked at Su Jie. Standing in the middle of the field, he who had been ignored immediately caught everyone's attention.
A martial artist?
Yu Wenjing and the other righteous disciples also looked over, feeling greatly puzzled.
Han Ruyan explained the matter briefly. Of course, she spoke very briefly. She mainly talked about what happened before she met Zhong Shiguan.
Hearing this, Han Jinghuan walked forward quickly and grabbed Su Jie's hand with gratitude on his face.
"Xu Daxia, I really saw the right person. Thank you for rescuing my little girl at this critical moment and for discovering the spell on her. It's true that you will accept these ten thousand taels of silver no matter what."
Han Jing was grateful to Su Jie. He only had such a daughter. If the white-haired girl gave her to the black-haired girl, he couldn't bear the blow.
A servant nearby brought two boxes of silver, and the white silver dazzled the eyes of many people. "Mr. Xu, thank you."
Han Ruyan also spoke again. She found that Su Jie was still winking at her, and she felt an inexplicable excitement like a bad boy lying.
"It's a small matter. Since I bumped into this kind of thing, I won't let it go. But Uncle Han, you should pay more attention to your daughter and how to solve the curse on her."
Su Jie was not polite either. Although he was not short of money, his current identity still had to be disguised.
"Yes, yes, this will trouble some good nephews."
Han Jinghuan looked at the others for help.
"The right thing to do."
Yu Wenjing, Xiao Guanglian and others all agreed.
Mo Shiyao supported her weak body and said to Han Ruyan: "Sister Han, when I was trapped in the female ghost's body, tell me everything you saw, and don't leave anything out."
"After you were trapped, Zhong Shiguan suddenly felt unwell. It seemed that trapping you consumed a lot of strength, which caused the barrier to break. It may be that he was afraid that the fight would cause disturbance and attract the encirclement and suppression of His Excellency Yuwen and others, so Fleeed in a hurry.”
Su Jie stood up first and answered for Han Ruyan.
Han Ruyan bit her red lips and nodded: "Yes, that's it."
"I see. It seems that the secret realm is a parallel import, or it was just promoted."
Mo Shiyao suddenly understood, her spirits were lifted, she felt inexplicably emboldened, and her voice became louder.
Su Jie couldn't help but glance sideways. The parallel importer who was trapped by the move of the woman in the painting was you, right?
Next, Mo Shiyao stepped forward and looked at the curse on Han Ruyan's back.
Others also stepped forward, but to avoid suspicion, they sensed it through pulse diagnosis. In a last attempt, although they did not get rid of the curse, they suppressed it so that it would no longer cause trouble.
When everything settled, Su Jie reunited with Xiao Fengyuan and Ning Xinyue in the guest room.
"Brother Su, what's the situation?"
Xiao Fengyuan didn't wait for the signal to fight for a long time, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Qi Shijian is not inside."
Su Jie shook his head, otherwise it would have been an excellent opportunity.
"What a shame."
Ning Xinyue looked over there, poked Su Jie's arm, and said, "Why did you stay in there for so long?"
"Others may want to use a honey trap on me, but I am determined and let them lose their wives and soldiers."
Su Jie opened his eyes and told lies, which made Ning Xinyue roll her eyes.
"Just brag, it's obvious you've done nothing good."
As soon as Ning Xinyue finished speaking, she saw Su Jie taking out a corpse.
"Who is this?"
"Elder of Tianhunmen, Zhongshiguan."
Su Jie briefly recounted his experience with Han Ruyan.
After listening, Xiao Fengyuan was surprised: "What, there is such a thing, I didn't sense anything!"
In addition to being shocked, Xiao Feng was even more shocked by Su Jie's fighting power, being able to defeat a Vault Realm elder head-on.
"That scroll must be a great treasure."
Ning Xinyue's eyes lit up. They couldn't sense it at such a close distance. This showed how powerful the scroll was, and it was definitely a place of its own.
"It's a pity that he led him away, but our mission must continue. We keep an eye on the Han Mansion. As soon as Qi Shijian leaves, we will find him as soon as possible."
When Su Jie made his suggestion, Qi Shijian must catch him.
Several people discussed in the room for a while, determined the next plan, and then left.
Su Jie began to examine the trophies left by Zhong Shiguan.
Zhong Shiguan ran away in such a hurry that he didn't even bother to take the storage bag.
There are a large number of spirit stones and various materials in the storage bag, with a total value of up to 70,000.
Su Jie also didn't know whether Zhong Shiguan's net worth among the elders was rich or poor. This was the first time he had obtained trophies from the elders.
Su Jie thought that the other party should be relatively poor, because during the battle, he didn't see any powerful magic weapon used by the other party, if the picture scroll was not counted.
