The Spirit World

Chapter 967 Shadow Fall (Part )
"What's your last name, girl?"

In the [White Moon Pavilion] belonging to Lord Bai Ling, Lord Bai Ling Ning Ji sat on the [White Phoenix Chair] that belonged exclusively to Lord Bai Ling, supporting his face with his fists, his elbows on the table, and looked at the girl in white in front of him with interest.

The veil of the bamboo hat moved slightly, sweeping away the bloody haze just now.

The girl in white was "very reluctantly" invited to the Baiyue Pavilion by him and Ning Qing.

She also had a fight with Ning Qing, and Ning Qing was unexpectedly at a disadvantage, which made Ning Ji even more interested in this "stranger".

【long.】

Of course, she could understand that the language she spoke was different from that of this "very special boy" who could understand it, but she did not learn the language "here".

The long note ended cleanly and neatly, catching Ning Ji off guard.

"What... this cha... sound, how do you pronounce it?"

Ning Ji held back his smile, which made the girl a little unhappy. This was her last name, so when she answered again, it was faster and more formal.

【long!】

【Chang Yinglan! 】

"Chang... Yinglan..."

Ning Ji seemed to be thinking about something, while Ning Qing opened the door. The girl in blue, who was just covered in blood but now full of life, quickly followed in.

"Write it down! Let me see it!"

Ning Ji handed the paper and pen to Chang Yinglan. The fish on her hat looked around doubtfully, and her big eyes met Ning Ji's. Frightened by Ning Ji's naughty smile, she quickly ran into the veil of the hat and stuck close to Chang Yinglan's face.

Chang Yinglan took the paper and pen. The wolf-hair pen tip and the jade pen holder allowed her to look at Ning Ji with her lively eyes under the veil. Ning Ji nodded in confirmation, and she quickly wrote her name.

She can write, ah... how to say it, the three words "can write" really underestimates Chang Yinglan. Chang Yinglan is both literary and martial. Her handwriting is delicate and every stroke is connected. The three words "Chang Yinglan" are more like her charming beauty leaping out of the paper.

This is very rare, and Ning Ji likes this kind of rarity. He was amazed by Chang Yinglan's handwriting and stared at every stroke.

Although she spoke like a foreigner, her writing was indeed the Imperial language, just with some strange twists and turns, as if... it was a variant of the Empire's current writing.

"Chang Yinglan... then... Ning Qing also understood what you just said..."

Ning Ji reacted quickly and waved his hand to call Ning Qing over. Ning Qing was standing aside and the girl in blue had been staring at him. When he saw Ning Ji waving, he quickly came to Ning Ji's side.

"what happened?"

"Do you understand her? Her name?"

"what?"

Ning Qing looked at Ning Ji in confusion, then at Chang Yinglan.

Ning Ji hurriedly stood up again as if requesting Chang Yinglan to say her name.

"Chang Yinglan! Tell me your name!"

He was looking forward to it, which made Chang Yinglan frown even more and look at him with disgust.

Although he couldn't see her face, she definitely didn't look good to Ning Ji. It can only be said that a beauty is also very beautiful when angry, without any difference from hatred.

【Chang Yinglan! 】

She seemed to shout softly.

"Ning Qing! Can you understand?! What's her name?!"

Ning Ji looked at Ning Qing expectantly again.

"Chang... Yinglan?" Ning Qing didn't understand what her brother meant. She looked at Chang Yinglan strangely and said her name.

"Yes! Chang Yinglan! Do you understand?!"

Ning Ji looked at his brother excitedly.

“I don’t understand…”

"Didn't you understand? Then how do you know her name is Chang Yinglan?!"

"You're talking about... Chang Yinglan... and this..."

Ning Qing pointed at the name next to Chang Yinglan. The delicate Chang Yinglan beautifully showed off her talent.

"..." Ning Ji's excitement came to an abrupt end. He looked at his brother helplessly, then looked at Chang Yinglan with interest, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha, okay, okay... I finally understand, Ning Qing, you are indeed much more powerful than I thought..."

After saying that, Ning Ji noticed another "stranger".

This stranger was dressed more like a duke without a coat, so all suspicions were focused on her.

The war between the Empire and the Principality did not subside for long. A Principality man covered in blood suddenly appeared on Bailing Mountain, the most important fairy mountain in the Empire. This incident alarmed the Emperor of the Empire. The Principality man would be subject to a comprehensive investigation, but Ning Ji, the Lord of Bailing, and Ning Qing, the Director of Wutong Division, were eyewitnesses and kept the Principality man "with them", ready to face "potential crises" at any time.

The two strangers are not allowed to leave Bailing Pavilion, and Ning Ji and Ning Qing are just waiting here for the personnel appointed by the empire to come and conduct a "formal investigation" on the two.

So, Ning Ji's questions were informal and very casual.

But Ning Ji's attitude towards Chang Yinglan, a foreigner, and the girl in blue, a foreigner, was completely different.

"Li Lusheng will come, and also Tan Mingqiu..."

Ning Qing stood behind Ning Ji, looking into the veil of the bamboo hat. His four pairs of pupils showed a manly and mysterious unwillingness to accept defeat.

"why?"

"Because of your majesty."

Ning Qing answered Ning Ji and looked at Ning Ji seriously when he turned around.

"This matter is much more serious than we thought. A stranger, a Principality citizen, appeared near Bailing Mountain and had a so-called direct conflict with the two of us. Even though we think they pose no threat, they will still be investigated in all aspects. Including you and me."

"What do you mean?"

Ning Ji scratched his head, still looking at the eyes under the veil of the hat.

The pupils were extremely clear, and the dazzling black color penetrated the starry sky, making him unable to take his glasses off.

She stared at him quietly.

This boy is full of spirit and yet immature. He has no worries about his youth and does not care about the passing of time.

This wonderful feeling made her feel that he was mysterious and unpredictable, and she couldn't take her eyes off him.

"We will both be subject to the highest level of investigation until we can prove our innocence. And the two of them."

Ning Qing paused.

"If you are unable to prove your innocence, or are unable to prove your... innocence, you will be imprisoned in the [Heavenly Viper Prison], and then..."

"Heavenly Viper Prison!"

Ning Ji exclaimed, quickly turned around to look at Ning Qing, and then looked at Chang Yinglan in front of him in disbelief.

Chang Yinglan also realized the seriousness of the problem, frowned and said nothing.

The little fish beside her face slowly emerged from the veil.

"I thought he would just be kept here for a few days."

Ning Ji withdrew his surprise.

"She, they! With such a small body, how long can they stay in the Sky-High Viper Prison? One minute? Three minutes?"

Obviously, things were much worse than Ning Ji had imagined, but his brows were still not frowned. Instead, a very special kind of nervousness caused his ahoge to shake as if it were alive.

"This is really difficult... Ning Qing..."

Ning Ji propped up his head and looked at Chang Yinglan again.

"As long as they don't take advantage of the situation, it'll be fine."

Ning Qing glanced at the girl in blue who was speaking incoherently.

He shook his head helplessly.
