Back at the inn, Gu You pushed open the door of his room, wanting to go back and rest. The newly recovered body often feels exhausted. And the prison slave stood behind Gu You, looking at him with some concern and holding back several times.
Lian Wu hopped around the corridor a few times in a casual manner, passed by the door of his room, but did not stop. He made the shape of a microphone with his palm and shouted exaggeratedly, "Is Rongyue there? I'll tell you what happened on the street today. How interesting! We met a strange person..."
The voice suddenly froze, and Lianwu stood there blankly, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
Gu You felt something was amiss and withdrew from the room, looking towards Lian Wu.
There were only the three of them in the corridor. On both sides of the long corridor were closed doors with no Windows to let in light. So, even during the day, the lights in the corridor are on. At the end of the corridor, perhaps because the innkeeper was saving money, two lights were missing and it was dark. But Gu You knew there were no rooms there, so it didn't matter whether there were lights or not.
"What's wrong?" Gu You asked, feeling weak and powerless all over.
A door beside Lian Wu opened, and Rong Yue's little head popped out and said to Lian Wu, "What are you going to tell me? Come on, speak." Noticing something was wrong with Lianwu, she looked to the end of the corridor, then turned her head and asked Lianwu, "Hey, why are you pretending to be stupid? Tell you, don't scare me."
Gu You walked towards Lian Wu, but his gaze remained fixed in that dark corner.
Suddenly, something seemed to move in the darkness - it was a purple object. Then the darkness welled up and a figure emerged from there. The long purple hair was tangled up at the back of the head, and the black robe was tightly wrapped. The dark eyeliner, like a ghostly, is chilling.
Rongyue slammed the door shut and hid inside, Shouting, "Lianwu, didn't I tell you not to scare me?" Why did you call me out and find someone to scare me? I'm bold enough not to be scared by you."
"It's you." Gu You said warily to the man. And the last sentence, even if not spoken, the other person could have guessed that he must be asking: Why are you here?
The voice of the man in the black robe was somewhat cold, "You saved me, I don't want to owe you anything."
"So you follow us?" said Lianwu indifferently. I tell you, we never thought you owed us anything. It was just that we got carried away and saved you."
"Stalking?" The man ignored the second half of his words, "If I follow you, will I hide here until you come back?"
"What do you want to do here?" "Lianwu asked coldly. He couldn't find a trace of peace in that man.
The man walked forward, still wounded in his leg, with some difficulty. He stretched out his hands and held onto the walls on both sides. About seven steps away from the dance, he finally spoke again: "I just don't want to owe you. I want to tell you that you are being stalked."
With his hands already quietly resting on the hilt of his sword at his waist, he smiled and said, "We knew that long ago."
The man stopped, looked at Lian Wu's eyes, and said nothing.
Gu You placed one of his hands on Lian Wu's shoulder, indicating that he should not be too nervous. He went up to Lianwu and said to the man, "I wonder why the Dark Knight attacked you?"
"You have no right to ask me this question." The man's voice was unfriendly, "Since you already know someone is following you, then I still owe you. I may not be able to pay it back today, but I will eventually pay it back." After saying this, the man came over, strode through between Gu You and Lian Wu, and walked to the other end of the corridor.
"Hey - you have an injury. If it happens again... The prison slave shouted into the man's back.
The man did not reply, as if he had not heard the prisoner's words, walked to the end of the corridor and went down the stairs. The footsteps faded away in the long corridor.
"What an oddball." The prison slave said crossly.
"The Dark Knight is chasing him, so could he be..." Gu You looked at the prison slave and did not go on.
The prison slave nodded. "As far as I know, the Dark Knight and the Dead Warrior's mission is only to hunt down Earth cultivators. Well, maybe that guy is really with us. Gu You, are we going to ask him now?"
"No need." " "Lian Wu said.
Gu You turned his head to look at Lian Wu, "Why not? Did you see anything?"
Lian Wu smiled. "Did you notice his hand?"
Gu You looked at Lian Wu in puzzlement, carefully recalling the man's hand. The prison slave thought for a moment and said, "What's wrong with his hand? If I remember correctly, his hand was always covered by the big cuff."
Gu You nodded to Lian Wu.
"But I still see one thing." "As he raised his hand to support the wall, I saw a faint purple light on the finger of his right hand. It should be a ring, just a ring."
The corner of his mouth turned crooked as he said, "The prison slave is looking very carefully. Yes, it was a purple ring, but not "just a ring". Purple rings are rare on Hyenoord, especially for more than a hundred years after the fall of the Dira dynasty, when purple rings were forbidden to be made and worn."
"Why is that?" "The prisoner asked, involuntarily remembering the man's purple hair.
"Because purple is a symbol." " Lienwu stopped, deliberately trying to whet Yu's appetite. Seeing Gu You bulging his eyes like those of a cow, he had to go on, "In the era of the Dira dynasty, purple was a symbol of the royal nobility. The members of the royal family wore purple robes and purple hairpins. Of course, if you have purple hair, it would be even better."
Gu You and the prison slave exchanged glances, somewhat unable to bear the word "top-notch" that Lian Wu said.
"And the purple ring that the man just wore, judging from its shape, should be the unique purple magic crystal ring in the world." Lianwu deliberately put on a very solemn expression.
The prison slave said, "Do you mean that the man is a descendant of the Dilla royal family?"
"That's right." Lianwu nodded, and suddenly remembered something and changed the topic at once. "Yes, I remember there was a misunderstanding just now." He turned around and knocked on Rongyue's door a few times, Shouting inside: "Rongyue, open the door. I really want to tell you about encountering a strange person on the street."
After a while, a voice came from inside: "Lianwu, I tell you, I'm bold and you can't scare me."
"I know, I know. Then open the door and I'll tell you about that strange man."
"HMPH, you want to scare me again. No!" Saying that, the door was kicked hard from the inside again.
"I really didn't mean to scare you. If you don't believe me, Gu You and the prison slave can testify." "Lian Wu said, looking to the right, while Gu You and the prison slave had already gone back to their rooms.
===============================================
At lunchtime, Gu You and all his friends sat around a round table in the lobby on the first floor. Lianwu held chopsticks in her hand, and a large hand moved over the table like a ghost's claw. From time to time, he would quietly pick up a piece of food and then quietly place it in Rongyue's bowl.
The ears of the remnant soul moved a little, but there was no speech, only a gentle smile. And Xuanling, with a crooked mouth, said, "Lianwu, there are three women here. Why do you only serve Rongyue food?"
When Lianwu heard this, his hand, which was waving above the table, suddenly stopped and did not continue until a few seconds later. But the dish that was supposed to be in the Moon Melting bowl ended up in the Bell hanging bowl.
Rong Yue looked at the others, lowered his head, and paid no more attention to Lian Wu's mischievous grin.
The bell face was lowered, his lips touched the rim of the bowl, and his gaze lifted slightly. Gu You sat opposite, with a slight smile on his face, looking as if there was no one around. In his heart, a few strands of sadness burst forth silently.
Shi Zhu did not notice the change in his sister's mood and said to Lian Wu, "Lian Wu, why have you suddenly become so affectionate towards the girls around you today?"
Lianwu was frantically pulling out food to show his guilt when he was choked by a word from Shi Zhu, his head was stuffed under the table and he began to cough. The remnant spirit stuffed a piece of food into Duoduo's mouth and echoed, "Something must have happened, or someone must have offended."
Lian Wu suddenly raised her head, but it hit the edge of the table. When the table was lifted up, the two plates flew out. Lianwu covered her head with both hands and mumbled in pain.
Shi Zhu laughed loudly, "He must have offended someone, otherwise how could he be so agitated upon hearing that?"
The remnant also laughed.
With one hand rubbing the bag on his head and the other on the table, he stared at the candle, as if he were about to shoot out fire. "Who did you offend? Absolutely not. It did happen a little." His tone was solemn, but his actions were comical. "I tell you, I met a strange man on the street today."
"Oh? What kind of oddball is it?" "Xuanling asked.
"Let me speak." Gu You put down the bowl, fearing that Lian Wu would make serious matters sound like acting. Gu looked warily to the left and right, and his voice suddenly dropped several keys. "Today we saved a man in the street who was being hunted by the Dark Knight. Later, when we came back, we met him at the inn. He came here on purpose to wait for us. According to Lianwu's analysis, that man should be a descendant of the royal family of the Dyra dynasty."
"Analyzed by Lian Wu?" Xuanling looked at Lianwu, still rubbing his head. "Is it true?"
Hearing Xuanling's words, Lianwu was so angry that he almost found a pillar and knocked out a few more big bumps. And the candle and the remnant soul continued to laugh without a care.
Gu You smiled gently and said, "The man said that what he owed us would be returned to us. Perhaps he will show up again soon. For now, we can't tell if he's a friend or foe, so we still have to be cautious of this man."
"He doesn't look like a good person." "It can be seen from the ring he's wearing," said Lianwu. The Dila dynasty has been in decline for centuries, yet he still wears the symbol of the monarchy. Just by looking at this, one can tell that he has ulterior motives. Besides, his eye circles are painted that color, he's dressed all black and always likes to stand in the dark. He's definitely not a good person." Saying that, he didn't forget to stuff something into his mouth.
The eyes of the others flashed over him.
Lianwu's gaze shifted around, and finally, like the other six, his eyes fell on his own black clothes. He swallowed what was in his mouth, raised his gaze slowly, and said, "Actually... Not necessarily being a bad person who likes to wear black..."
