Inside the dilapidated factory.
Chu Yan untied the rope for Xu Zhilan.
Xu Zhilan's face was covered with bruises.
But it didn't stop her from grinning: "Hiss! It hurts, it hurts--"
Chu Yan soaked a relatively clean piece of clothing in cold water and handed it to her for ice compress.
The two of them sat on the damp wooden floor of the factory.
Xu Zhilan looked at the rain curtain outside the window.
From the time I met Chen Songyu, just two short months felt like many long years.
Xu Zhilan tilted her head and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect that you would deal with Chen Songyu in person. I also didn't expect that Yanyan is such a powerful warrior."
She gently touched Chu Yan's arm with the back of her hand.
"Come closer."
Chu Yan obediently moved closer.
Xu Zhilan suddenly hugged her.
The daughter of the Xu family, who had a gentle personality and rarely did anything out of the ordinary, buried her head without hesitation in Chu Yan's neck, which was still smelling of blood and sticky with vine juice.
Chu Yan paused.
She could feel the hot tears running down Xu Zhilan's cheeks and dripping into her clothes.
Xu Zhilan cried silently, but her body couldn't stop shaking.
Chu Yan's right hand gently stroked Xu Zhilan's back.
She heard Xu Zhilan say in a nasal voice:
"It's over."
"They say that if someone saves your life, you should repay him with your life. But how can I promise you that?"
Chu Yan said: "Just allow me... to help me review English for the college entrance examination."
Xu Zhilan chuckled.
She looked up.
Hear Chu Yan say to her.
"Cry, it's okay."
Chu Yan walked out of the factory.
Pei Mingye has already handled the scene.
Master Pei is very experienced.
Chen Songyu’s body had been forged to make it appear as if he was “killed by the innate warrior who came to reinforce.”
In a few minutes, the police, the Women's Federation, and security guards patrolling the western suburbs will all arrive.
This incident will be classified as a "kidnapping case using violence, weapons, threats to life safety, etc.", and then the case will be closed with the death of an unknown innate warrior who bravely stepped forward to save the country.
Wait until Xu Zhilan finishes recording her statement.
In order to further investigate Chen Songyu’s violent history.
The investigation into Li Mianmian's case will also be reopened to give her family justice.
The factory front yard was in a mess.
Pei Mingye looked at Chu Yan who pushed the door open.
Chu Yan is incredibly young.
Eighteen years old, exactly the same age as his sister when she was killed.
He is equally gifted and is also able to find the secret that can subvert the entire martial arts world from a book of basic skills.
Pei Mingye looked at her through the moist mist, as if he was looking at his sister, Pei Mingxue, through twenty years of time.
It’s just that Pei Mingxue is as heroic and high-spirited as Chu Yan.
However, I have been eroded by the past twenty years and my temples are gray.
I don’t know whether Pei Mingxue, who is in the afterlife, can still recognize me.
Today, before heading to the western suburbs.
He received a strange phone call.
Pei Mingye is a martial arts master, and very few people have his private number.
There was a young, cool voice of a girl on the other side of the phone.
she says.
She can answer the secrets of the Taixuan Sutra. The Taixuan Sutra can resolve the erosion of the true essence by the strange and the weird. The specific details can be found in a test paper from the recommended student exam a few weeks ago.
She also said.
She is in the factory building south of Hongshui Road in the western suburbs.
Grandmaster Pei can come and verify it in person.
Better to go now.
Remember to bring your sword.
If he believes it, please help and take care of those who are chasing her.
If he doesn't believe it, then get rid of her.
Pei Mingye: “…”
Twenty years of pursuit.
He received countless "tips".
Almost all of them are just hearsay.
After all, it was he who personally announced that whoever could decipher the Taixuan Sutra would not only be rewarded with a huge fortune, but would also be able to work for that person for ten years free of charge.
Having a great master working for ten years has allowed many scammers to take risks.
But among all the intelligence reports.
No one can be as quick and decisive as Chu Yan, without any procrastination.
Pei Mingye really wanted to know the truth about the Taixuan Sutra.
This is not only Chu Yan's gamble, but also his gamble.
So.
Pei Mingye appeared here.
Chu Yan was very polite to him.
This kind of politeness gave Pei Mingye the illusion that he was back on the campus of Yan University, as if the person in front of him was just a well-behaved student who called him "Professor Pei" instead of the strange female warrior he had just killed.
"As long as you enter this miasma, your true essence will be corroded." Chu Yan said: "Please give me your wrist."
Pei Mingye stretched out his hand.
The cold fingertips touched his pulse.
Pei Mingye discovered that Chu Yan's true energy was relatively cold, with a faint scent of ice and snow. When it entered the meridians, it did not conflict with his original true energy, but was quite comfortable.
The cool true energy was continuously input, and it came into contact with the miasma in his body, just like suddenly discovering prey -
The originally gentle energy suddenly became active.
They surrounded the miasma, swarmed over it, and devoured it with voracious mouthfuls!
Then the true energy circulated in his meridians.
The serious illness caused by the previous invasion of fog and miasma has disappeared completely!
Pei Mingye's expression suddenly changed: "This, this is——"
Chu Yan withdrew his energy.
Just now, rather than saying that it "cleared" the remaining miasma in Pei Mingye's body, it would be more accurate to say that it "swallowed" that part of the evil substance.
When he withdrew his hand, his true energy increased slightly.
But the fact that it can dissolve the weirdness is already too horrifying.
Chu Yan kept the part about "being able to turn strange things into his own use" as his own secret.
but.
The part that was revealed.
This was enough to shock Pei Mingye extremely.
In the entire Xia country, there has never been any martial arts method that can completely eliminate the damage caused by strange things to the warrior's physique!
Even though the Wushu Association had spent a lot of money to find warriors who practiced special techniques, their hope was only to suppress the miasma and minimize the loss of warriors. How could Chu Yan have such a method that was almost like defying the heavens?
Regardless of whether the abilities demonstrated by Chu Yan are related to the Taixuan Sutra.
She has completely overturned Pei Mingye's cognition.
Pei Mingye looked solemn.
If this is such a powerful method...
Such temptation was indeed enough to become the motive for the criminals to kill Pei Mingxue!
The Yan University professor looked at Chu Yan with his bright eyes. Just by standing there, he unconsciously exuded the powerful aura that only belongs to a master.
Chu Yan spoke slowly:
"The murderer back then also knew the secret of the Taixuan Sutra."
"In other words, what you need to find next is a warrior who is not afraid of the invasion of the strange monsters, and even deliberately cultivates and controls the strange monsters."
"Among all the strange species, mutant plants are the best at creating miasma. In the miasma, his combat power will far exceed that of all other warriors. It can even be speculated that he will deliberately cultivate this kind of strange for his own use. By the way, the water hyacinth in the western suburbs this time was artificially bred. The person who can control it——"
Chu Yan kicked Chen Songyu on the ground.
"Right here. Too bad you only got a dead one this time."
"But following this clue——"
"I think one day you will be able to catch the real murderer."
Pei Mingye nodded.
"Thank you."
"I need more detailed annotations on the Taixuan Sutra."
"I will resign from my teaching position at Yan University. For the next ten years, I will be at your disposal."
Chu Yan shook his head.
She does not need to build a force, nor does she need the allegiance of a master.
Moreover, if Pei Mingye followed her, she would be completely famous in Xia Country and there would be no possibility of hiding.
Compared to the time he had to control Pei Mingye within the stipulated period of time——
She needs to make a good connection and leave herself a way out in the future.
"I will give you the annotations of the technique."
"I am very grateful that you came to help me today."
She smiled, and the girl's murderous intent was washed away in the rain.
Pei Mingye then noticed that if she was not a warrior, she would be more than qualified to be a star on the screen.
Chu Yan waved his hand: "My name is Chu Yan, and I participated in the last Yanda entrance examination. You must have my student information in your hands."
“As it happens, I got pretty good grades.”
"I will be admitted to Yanjing."
"Professor Pei, see you next time."
Pei Mingye stared at her back in a daze.
There are many factions of warriors in Xia country.
Chu Yan was not moved at all by the master's loyalty——
He suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Chu Yan turned around.
Pei Mingye said:
"The Taixuan Sutra is of great importance. I have been investigating it for many years, and I only know that Pei Mingxue is not the only one who died because of it."
Pei Mingxue?
Chu Yan finally learned the name of the victim from twenty years ago.
Pei Mingye's expression was serious.
If we say that just now, the two of them were still the beneficiaries of a transaction.
At this time, Pei Mingye looked at Chu Yan with more concern and worry in his eyes.
Chu Yan even had an illusion that the man's vicissitudes of life gaze seemed to be looking at Pei Mingxue through him.
Pei Mingye says:
"I will do my best to keep you safe."
"But this is not enough. I am only a martial arts master. In this life, my talent is not enough to allow me to go any further."
"You still need a stronger backer."
Chu Yan was a little confused, and then suddenly thought of something: "You mean--"
Pei Mingye looked at her and spoke calmly:
"Your skills allow you to walk freely in the fog."
"There is still a person trapped in the foggy miasma in the western suburbs—"
"Grandmaster, Gu Yu."
