Chapter 160 The Cold Taoist Priest is Really Charming 27
Under Qin Yu's persuasion, Zhu Jinnian had no choice but to give up and put away the demon-slaying sword.
Qiao Yudai also ran to Zhu Jinnian and asked him if he was injured.
Zhu Jinnian said he was fine, and after comforting Qiao Yudai, he turned to ask Qin Yu, "Why is City Lord Qin here?"
"Mr. Bai asked me to come here," Qin Yu said. "He said that you and Madam Zhu were going to West Mountain to fulfill a vow today, and the wolf demon might take this opportunity to attack you. He asked me to hide in the dark and help if the wolf demon came. Although the two of us may not be able to subdue the wolf demon together, we can at least delay it. However, I noticed that he seemed injured when we fought the wolf demon just now."
Zhu Jinnian knew that it was Bai Ye who called Qin Yu here, and it was like being suddenly fed a mouthful of honey.
"If the wolf demon hadn't been injured, the two of us wouldn't have been able to defeat him today."
"That's true. If the wolf demon hadn't been so powerful, I wouldn't have been unable to find his whereabouts." Qin Yu smiled bitterly. "Even if I did find him, I wouldn't be able to defeat him. I've failed in my duty as the city lord."
Zhu Jinnian: "Don't say that, you've done a great job."
The wolf demon had already left. Qin Yu checked the condition of the two servants lying on the ground and found that they had just fainted. He helped them into the carriage. Zhu Jinnian sat inside with Qiao Yudai, and Qin Yu drove the carriage.
Qiao Yudai sat in the carriage, feeling worried and praying in her heart that the wolf demon would not come.
After Bai Ye returned to Qingqiu to return the glass beads, he was pulled over by the clan leader to talk. When he learned that the wolf demon had gone to find Zhu Jinnian, he quickly sent the clan leader out of Qingqiu.
But he was still a step too slow. The wolf demon was very vigilant. When he was not far away from Zhu Jinnian and the others, 365 told him that the wolf demon had run away and returned to Chu Xiuran's body.
Bai Ye guessed that the wolf demon was injured and would definitely capture humans to heal his wounds in the next two nights. He didn't know whether he would appear in his true form at that time.
But it doesn’t matter. As long as he can lure the wolf demon into the formation set up by Zhu Jinnian, he can force the wolf demon out of Chu Xiuran’s body.
Bai Ye did not catch the wolf demon, and the wolf demon would not attack Zhu Jinnian again, so Bai Ye did not go to find Zhu Jinnian, but waited for Zhu Jinnian and Qiao Yudai to come back at the city gate.
After Bai Ye waited for about half an hour, he saw the carriage that Zhu Jinnian and the others were riding in.
Qin Yu stopped the carriage beside Zhu Jinnian and got off. Zhu Jinnian thanked Qin Yu and took over Qin Yu's job as "coachman".
Zhu Jinnian felt much more at ease when he saw Bai Ye, and Qiao Yudai also felt relieved after returning to the city.
After returning home, Qiao Yudai asked someone to call a doctor to check on the two servants. They were hit by the wolf demon and it was unknown whether their internal organs were damaged.
However, before they were helped away by the servants, Bai Ye took a quick look to make sure that their lives were not in danger before letting the servants help the two servants to rest.
Qiao Yudai was frightened, so Zhu Jinnian and Bai Ye sent her back to her room to rest, and asked the maid to guard the room to prevent Qiao Yudai from being scared alone.
Afterwards, Zhu Jinnian and Bai Ye left Qiao Yudai's room. Instead of returning to their room, they sat in the yard.
The sun had already set, and the sunset shining on them was warm but not hot.
After sitting down, Zhu Jinnian spoke first: "We encountered a wolf demon on our way back today."
Bai Ye: "I know. I rushed back as quickly as possible, but I didn't expect to be a step too late."
Zhu Jinnian: "Fortunately, you called City Lord Qin for help, otherwise my mother and I would have died on the spot today."
"Don't talk nonsense." Bai Ye said seriously. He couldn't bear to hear Zhu Jinnian say such unlucky words. "You must be safe and sound. We still have a lifetime to live together."
According to Zhu Jinnian's personality, he should have told Bai Ye that life and death are determined by fate and advised Bai Ye to let it go. However, when he looked at Bai Ye's handsome and serious face, he couldn't say anything and could only nod obediently.
Because Zhu Jinnian was injured, Bai Ye took him back to his room to help him heal. At the same time, the wolf demon was also healing.
The injuries he suffered from the glass beads had not yet healed, and the fight with Zhu Jinnian and Qin Yu today aggravated his injuries.
He could have captured Zhu Jinnian today and taken his lifeblood, but Qin Yu showed up unexpectedly.
Qin Yu has ruined his plans time and time again, and he will not let Qin Yu go.
*
When night fell, Chu Xiuran wandered the streets in the dark looking for prey.
He planned to deal with Qin Yu first after his injury healed, because he had ruined his plans.
Not only did they disturb him from taking Zhu Jinnian's blood, but they also ordered all the people in the city not to go out after dark.
Most of the families here have door gods and ancestors guarding them. Since they don't go out, it is difficult for him to enter the house and arrest someone. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to find someone.
Chu Xiuran searched for a long time and saw someone, but he was an acquaintance, not a human, but a fox.
"Bai Li, what are you doing here so late at night?"
Bai Li's fair face was filled with anxiety. When Chu Xiuran asked him, he tremblingly replied, "I heard from Xiao Yao that you got injured in the fight with Jinnian and the others today, so I wanted to come out and see if there were any humans."
Chu Xiuran chuckled: "You really care about me."
He walked closer to Bai Li and reached out to touch Bai Li's face in an ambiguous manner.
Bai Li suppressed the nausea of being touched by Chu Xiu Ran and the fear of Chu Xiu Ran, and did not say anything.
Chu Xiuran saw the fear in Bai Li's eyes and was very satisfied: "Have you found any humans?"
"Yes." Because Chu Xiuran's hand was still on his face, Bai Li didn't dare turn around. He just pointed in the direction of the city gate and said, "There's a drunk over there. I didn't want to offend you, so I didn't catch him. I wanted to see if there were any other pedestrians."
Because Bai Li always gave Chu Xiuran the impression of being incompetent and weak, he did not doubt Bai Li's words.
Chu Xiuran withdrew his hand: "A drunkard is a drunkard, it's better than nothing, take me with you."
Bai Li turned around and walked towards the door without hesitation, and Chu Xiuran followed behind him.
It was late at night and the streets were quiet. No candles were lit in any house. Only moonlight shone on the world, stretching the figures of Bai Li and Chu Xiu Ran.
Bai Li lied to Chu Xiu Ran and was very nervous, but when he thought about how he could make up for his mistake, he calmed down a lot.
Bai Li walked towards the city gate. Chu Xiuran didn't smell any human scent and asked, "How far is it?"
Bai Li was so frightened by Chu Xiuran's sudden voice that her legs almost went limp. She didn't even dare to turn her head. "It's just ahead, just a little way to go."
Chu Xiuran didn't doubt him: "Let's go quickly."
Bai Li strode towards the city gate as if he had been pardoned.
The distance that seemed very close before, now feels particularly far to Baili, as if it will never end.
They walked for about an incense stick's time, and Chu Xiuran finally saw a person lying on the ground with his back to them at the city gate.
Even from a distance, Chu Xiuran could smell the alcohol on the other person.
Sure enough, Bai Li didn't dare to lie to him, he was really a drunkard.
