Chapter 159

In winter, the sky was too dark. In this era when there was no electricity and even oil lamps must be saved, unless there was a meeting, when the sky became dark the pedestrians on the road would soon become scarce.　　

Ding Baifan was carrying a medicine chest and her boots creaked on the road. She walked a little anxiously. If it wasn’t for her customer’s injury that was too difficult to wait for a long time, she didn’t have to get out in the dark, on the road where pedestrians were becoming scarce.

Ding Baifan was a fifth-order healing saint. Among the generally low-ranking healers, her talent was unique. She had broken through the fourth order that few auxiliary powers could cross, becoming a rare fifth-order.

It was for this reason that she had enough wealth to be able to hire fifth-rank saints to protect her throughout the day.　　

“Bai Fan, don’t go so fast,” Gao Yan and Jiang Xiaojuan caught up with her pace. She was on duty to accompany Ding Baifan.

“No, I want to go back soon,” Ding Baifan clenched her arms and walked forward under the cold wind. Her tone was a little nervous, “I feel scared that the red eyes might appear again.”

She didn’t dare to look around. The dim alley by the road, the reflection of sewage, and the shadow of the building all seemed to have a pair of red eyes at any time, staring closely at her.

Gao Yan and Jiang Xiaojuan exchanged glances.

Jiang Xiaojuan stepped forward and took Ding Baifan’s arm, “Sister Fan, you are too nervous. This is on the street, there are so many people…”

It was also strange that after Jiang Xiaojuan said that, the place had become empty, and a cold wind blew through, hitting the frozen street.

The last rays of the setting sun were taken back. The silent street became dim and dull, and the dullness became unclear.

Jiang Xiaojuan rubbed her arms, and began to feel that there really was something hidden in the shadows like Ding Baifan said. She was naturally timid and leaned on Gao Yan’s side.

The three girls walked on the empty street like that.

The situation seemed really strange. She didn’t know if it was an illusion. Gao Yan began to feel a sense of oppression in the silent air. The intuition belonging to the soldier told her that there was a crisis that was unknown to her.

At this time, any slight sound made Gao Yan, who had to be complacent, calm down.

Behind them came the unusually regular footsteps. The three turned their heads together, with a dim light at the end of the street, and the dangling light slowly approached in suffocating tension.

As they stepped closer, they realized that it was a couple walking snuggling together.

The warm yellow lantern in the girl’s hand reflected a familiar face.

“Sister Yan, why are you here?” Chu Qianxun carried the lamp, and the warm lamp shone on her surprised face.

The tense atmosphere collapsed in an instant.　　

The appearance of Chu Qianxun and Lin Fei broke the inexplicable sense of oppression. The streets seemed to be restored to their original condition, and occasionally two pedestrians hurriedly walked, with a little noise. Gao Yan was even amused by the suspicion.　　

“We received a task from the regiment.” Gao Yan introduced Chu Qianxun to Ding Baifan, “Protect Bain Fan’s safety within 24 hours at the base.”

Ding Baifan’s face was pale, and she still had some fear. But she didn’t have to face demons, just needed to be with such a beautiful woman, which was indeed a good and profitable commission.

Chu Qianxun walked along with them for a while, and Ye Peitian, who fell behind the team, suddenly stopped and turned his face.

There was nothing in the alley.

“Wait, you go back first, and we will walk a few hundred meters further.”　　

At the corner of the street, Gao Yan and others waved goodbye to Chu Qianxun and Ye Peitian.

After Ding Baifan was sent to a safe place, another group of comrades-in-arms would come to take over, so that their task that day would be completed. At this moment, not only Jiang Xiaojuan and Gao Yan, but also Ding Baifan, who saw the house close, slightly showed a relaxed expression.

“Sister Yan, just before Qianxun hadn’t come, for a while, I was almost scared, and it turned out that I was just scaring myself,” Jiang Xiaojuan touched her chest and said quietly near Gao Yan.

Her rank was not high, she had little combat experience, and she could do very few tasks. If even such trivial matters of protecting the parties in the base were not done well, she was afraid that it would not be easy to earn crystal cores.
