The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chapter 509 No More Time Travel

Xiao Mubei smiled and said, "As long as the crazy Taoist doesn't start a killing spree, it's only a matter of time before Huo Zixu is caught."

After that, he checked Chu Yunxi again with concern and asked, "Are you really okay? Did he make things difficult for you these two days?"

Chu Yunxi smiled and shook her head, "It's really nothing. If you don't believe me, ask my senior brother. He has been with me all the time. In addition, I have discovered the secret of the crazy Taoist priest and the secret of the soul-returning bead in the past two days."

"Oh?" Xiao Mubei raised his eyebrows. "You are a hostage, but you can actually dig out the kidnapper's secrets?"

"Of course," Chu Yunxi raised her head proudly, "I am the Dali Chief Justice of the Dali Temple after all, and my professionalism is absolutely up to par. No matter what desperate situation I am in, finding out the truth is what I must do."

"No," Xiao Mubei said suddenly.

Chu Yunxi was originally waiting for praise, but she didn't expect Xiao Mubei to say that it was not right. She was stunned and didn't understand what Xiao Mubei meant.

Xiao Mubei touched her head and said, "If you are really in a desperate situation, you must first find a way to survive, because I can't lose you."

A warm current flowed through Chu Yunxi's heart, hot to the bottom of her eyes. She shook her head and said, "Oh, then it must be important to stay alive first. The truth can only be known if you survive." As she spoke, an irresistible smile escaped from the corners of her lips.

Xiao Mubei's eyebrows were all smiling. He turned around and told Bai Yu to drive the carriage over. Then he said to Wen Rulan, "Brother, this time it's all thanks to you."

Wen Rulan was listening to their conversation happily, when suddenly Xiao Mubei thanked him seriously. He was stunned for a moment before curling his lips and said, "Who made me suffer so much?"

Chu Yunxi hit him with a blow, "Your life can be so wonderful only because you have me as your junior sister, so just smile secretly."

Several people laughed. Bai Yu drove the carriage over and they all got on. Chu Yunxi lay down on the soft cushion and immediately yawned, muttering, "Although my ability to survive in the wild is very good, it's really uncomfortable to sleep against that tree. Let me catch up on some sleep."

As she spoke, she closed her eyes. Xiao Mubei took a pillow and put it under her head. He sat beside her and looked at her sleeping face. Wen Rulan sat on it, touched her nose, and said, "Then I'll make up for my sleep too." She found a corner and huddled down to reduce her presence.

The carriage fell silent. Baiyu Heimu also slowed down tacitly, trying to avoid bumpy places so that Chu Yunxi could sleep more soundly. The night gradually fell, and it was finally pitch dark. Xiao Mubei simply asked Baiyu Heimu to find a quiet place to stop, and the few of them camped out in the suburbs.

While sleeping, Chu Yunxi felt dizzy again. She tried to open her eyes and saw the baby wrapped in red light spinning in front of her. It seemed a little clearer than yesterday, but the red light seemed to be weaker. She called out, "Xiao Sui."

The red light was spinning around her in a hurry. She seemed to hear the baby inside babbling faintly. She couldn't tell whether it was crying or saying something, but from the state of the red light, she could feel that the baby was a little anxious. Chu Yunxi stretched out her finger to touch the red light, but because she was also spinning in circles and the baby was also spinning around her, she couldn't touch it. So she said, "Xiao Sui, what's wrong with you? Do you have something to say to your mother?"

The red light seemed to pause in front of her for a moment. At that moment, Chu Yunxi felt as if she saw the baby open his eyes and look at her, but soon turned away again. She didn't know if she was dazzled or had hallucinations.

But Chu Yunxi suddenly realized that she seemed to have stayed in this chaotic space for a long time today. She should have returned home long ago, but now, she has been wandering around here.

Just as she was thinking, her body suddenly paused. Chu Yunxi opened her eyes, only to find that it was pitch black in front of her. She touched her body and found that she was still in the carriage. It was warm beside her. It was Xiao Mubei who was hugging her, breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.

After being stunned for a while, Chu Yunxi finally realized that this time, she did not travel back, but just stayed in the chaotic space for a while and then came back. Does this mean that Xiao Sui has regained consciousness, and he just wants to communicate with her and does not want to take her through space again?

Unable to sleep, and not daring to move for fear of waking Xiao Mubei up, Chu Yunxi kept her eyes open with mixed thoughts until the light gradually came out in the carriage. She raised her eyes and found that Wen Rulan was also sleeping in the corner of the seat above her head.

Before she could take her eyes off Wen Rulan's face, she suddenly saw his eyes suddenly open, and his whole body was instantly on alert, making her suddenly nervous.

When Wen Rulan saw that Chu Yunxi was awake, she quickly put her index finger to her lips, signaling her not to speak. Chu Yunxi immediately covered her mouth and saw Wen Rulan sit up quietly and gently lift the car curtain.

Xiao Mubei also woke up at this time. When he opened his eyes, he saw Wen Rulan staring outside the car curtain with a gloomy face. He hugged Chu Yunxi tightly in his arms.

Seeing that they were all awake, Wen Rulan jumped out of the car window, stretched out her head, and said lazily to the tree: "Since you left, why did you come back? Could it be that you have a change of heart and want to send Huo Zixu back to prison?"

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi looked at each other, then got off the carriage together. They saw the Crazy Taoist priest leaning on a branch on the tree. Baiyu and Heimu were also standing on both sides of the carriage vigilantly, but they didn't see Mu Chen and Huo Zixu.

The crazy Taoist turned around and jumped down from the tree, walking straight towards Chu Yunxi. Wen Rulan took a step forward and stood in front of Chu Yunxi, and Xiao Mubei immediately pulled Chu Yunxi behind him.

Seeing that both of them were blocking him, the Crazy Taoist said, "I came back not to break the contract, but I have some questions to ask the princess. Don't worry, I will never hurt the princess."

Seeing that he really had no intention of hurting anyone, Chu Yunxi walked out from behind Xiao Mubei, patted Wen Rulan on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, senior brother, let me talk to him."

Wen Rulan took a step aside, but still stood close to Chu Yunxi. Xiao Mubei was also on her other side. The two of them formed a protective circle for Chu Yunxi. If the crazy Taoist really took action, they would definitely be able to save her in time.

The crazy Taoist didn't attack, but reached into his arms, took out the Soul-Returning Pearl, and said to Chu Yunxi: "Princess, look, why is the red color of this pearl getting dimmer and dimmer? Has anything unexpected happened to it in the past few days when it was by your side?"
