After coming out of the gambling hall, Xu Han became exceptionally silent.
Qin Keqing , who was following behind him, intentionally wanted to ask Xu Han why, but she still couldn't find an opportunity to speak.
She frowned and looked at the red brush in Xu Han's hand, not knowing why.
That was the "news" that Xu Han had bought with five taels of Black Dragon Gold, the "news" about the monster in Yanlai City .
Unlike what Qin Keqing had expected, the news was not written in words, nor was it delivered verbally. After receiving Xu Han's money, the plump woman handed Xu Han a red brush, and Xu Han's silence began at that time.
After leading Chu Chouli and Qin Keqing out of the gambling hall, he only lowered his head and rushed forward. He did not explain anything to Qin Keqing, nor did he say anything else.
Such an abnormal situation undoubtedly made Qin Keqing 's heart uneasy.
" Big Brother Chu , Young Master Xu ?" She tried to ask Chu Chouli.
However, the middle-aged man scratched his head in confusion. "Perhaps it was because that woman was too beautiful just now. Little brat Xu's heart itched. We were sulking because we saw that she wasn't good enough to make a move."
Chu Chouli's self-respect and open mouth immediately made Qin Keqing 's face flush red.
She fiercely rolled her eyes at Chu Chouli and whispered, " Young Master Xu , you're not that kind of person!" After saying that, Qin Keqing looked at the silent figure in front of her and thought about Xu Han's familiar road in the casino. His back faintly coincided with a figure from more than a year ago.
…
When they returned to the inn, Fang Ziyu and the others, who had gone out to exchange information with You Lingqu and the others, had yet to return.
When Xu Han and the others returned to their rooms, they discovered that the man was sitting in his room. His door opened. As Xu Han and the others passed by, the man suddenly opened his mouth and said.
"Meeting is fate. Since we are both in a foreign land, why don't you come in and sit down?" At that time, the man smiled and raised the teacup in his hand to look at Xu Han.
Although the man's senses weren't bad after meeting the man today, the invitation was somewhat abrupt. Qin Keqing instinctively wanted to remind Xu Han.
However, Xu Han narrowed his eyes and looked at the man for a long time. In the end, his gaze landed on something at the corner of the man's clothes.
It was a pen, a red one exactly like the one in his hand. Xu Han was slightly stunned, and before Qin Keqing could speak, he said, "Keqing."
"Huh?" Qin Keqing 's words were swallowed back, and she looked at Xu Han doubtfully.
"Go and pack up our things with Big Brother Chu ."
When Qin Keqing heard this, she naturally had many questions in her heart.
For example, what does that pen mean? Another example was why he had to pack up his things?
These questions were entrenched in the girl's heart. She wanted to ask, but when she looked up, she saw that the candle in the man's room reflected Xu Han's profile. At that time, the youth's eyes were deep, like the stars on the horizon, and also like the eyes that stared at her in the darkness of Jingsheng City that year. All of a sudden, she was stunned, and all of her doubts vanished into thin air.
She knew that she could trust him without any reason.
Thus, she obediently nodded her head and said "Be careful" to Xu Han before heading into the room with Chu Chouli.
…
In the man's room, Xu Han sat opposite the man.
The two of them looked at each other.
At different times, the corners of the man's mouth always carried a faint smile. He looked at Xu Han as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
On the other hand, Xu Han's expression was somewhat gloomy, and his gaze even carried a hint of vigilance.
Because of this, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat strange.
"Since you have received the judge's pen, aren't you planning to leave?"
Finally, Xu Han was the first to break the silence between the two.
Hearing this, the man smiled but did not answer Xu Han's question. He reached out to pick up the teapot on the table and filled a cup of tea for Xu Han.
"I can't find any good tea leaves in a remote town. Qingye Bai's tea tastes sweet and decent."
"Qingyebai is a specialty of Qingzhou. The market price is 10 silver taels per tael. Such tea is not considered good tea. I'm afraid there are very few things that can enter the pavilion in this world." Xu Han took a sip of the tea and said softly.
"Little brother seems to be quite knowledgeable about tea ceremony." The man raised his eyebrows as if he was interested.
However, Xu Han did not have the mood to talk about this. He shook his head and said, "There is no research. It's just that there was an elder who liked the tea ceremony and had heard about it before."
After saying this, Xu Han stood up and cupped his hands, saying, "Your Excellency is fearless, but I am just a reckless person. Under the judge's pen, I do not dare to stay any longer, so I have to gather my companions to leave this place as soon as possible. Please take care of yourself."
Black-robed Asura Blue-robed Ghost, White-robed Impermanence Red-robed Brush.
In a sense, the Dark Asura Hall was a place where rules were followed.
As long as they paid the money, the people they wanted to kill would never falsify the information they wanted to buy.
However, there is one exception. What you want is exactly what the Dark Asura Hall wants.
As a result, he handed over a Judge's Pen, and as long as he left wisely, the Life and Death Book would be deleted for the time being.
The money to buy the news is no longer the news, but your life.
Xu Han had stayed in Dark Asura Hall for four years, and the Dark Asura Hall he knew was only the tip of the iceberg of his true strength. However, just a single tip of the iceberg was enough to frighten Xu Han.
He simply couldn't have the slightest confidence to be his enemy.
At least he didn't have the confidence to do so now.
In his eyes, this thing had nothing to do with courage, but it was no different from courting death.
The man did not intend to leave, and Xu Han did not want to care what kind of support he had. He only knew that he was going to leave with everyone, and what did the life and death of the man have to do with him?
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Is that so? Qing Ye Bai really doesn't seem like a good tea to me. However, the Headmaster liked it very much back then. He said that it was fragrant but long, as if he was a human being."
At that moment, the man's words suddenly sounded. A small voice fell in Xu Han's ears, but it was like lightning, causing Xu Han's body to tremble at that moment. He turned his head in a daze. His eyes were filled with horror that he wanted to suppress, but couldn't.
At that moment, he opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but before he could say anything, the man's voice sounded again.
"Xuan'er has put on a lot of weight following you these days. You have to make it eat less in the future. If it's too fat, it won't be able to run." After the man finished speaking, regardless of Xu Han's reaction, he gently tossed his hand and the judge's pen flew out and landed impartially in Xu Han's hand.
"After my old friend, but I came in a hurry. I didn't bring any gifts, so this should be considered a greeting gift."
…
"What!" In another room of the inn, Xu Han's eyes bulged as he slapped the table and stood up. He roared angrily.
Everyone who had never seen Xu Han look like this was stunned at that time. Obviously, they did not understand why this youth would suddenly be so furious.
"Are you saying that You Lingqu has already rushed to the wild goose with all the disciples?"
After a while, under the astonished gazes of everyone, Xu Han gradually calmed down. He turned to look at Fang Ziyu and the others who had just returned and confirmed with a calm gaze.
"Yes." Feng Yan nodded, his voice still maintaining its inherent softness. "Junior apprentice-brother Luo has already seen the corpses of several junior apprentice-brothers and confirmed that they were killed by some kind of enormous monster. From the marks on the wounds, it can be deduced that the monster was most likely related to water. The only place within a hundred kilometers radius that can hide the monster is that goose," said Junior apprentice-brother Luo.
"You're courting death." Xu Han snorted coldly.
Logically speaking, his relationship with You Lingqu was not pleasant. With Xu Han's temperament, he would probably not be able to get along well with you Lingqu if he wanted to send him to his death. But for some reason, thinking of the dozens of disciples accompanying him, Xu Han felt extremely angry about You Lingqu's decision.
Perhaps Xu Han hadn't noticed that the time he spent in the Exquisite Pavilion had somewhat changed his lonely personality.
"What do you mean?" Fang Ziyu frowned. Although she was quite dissatisfied with You Lingqu 's unauthorized actions, Xu Han's fierce reaction made her even more puzzled.
However, Xu Han did not say anything. He just took out something from his bosom and threw it on the table.
It was the scarlet magistrate's pen.
"This is?" Song Yueming , who was standing at the side, picked up the brush and sized it up carefully, but he couldn't see why.
However, when Feng Yan and Fang Ziyu saw that, their expressions changed.
"Judge's pen!" Feng Yan took the pen and sized it up carefully. Then, he looked at Xu Han and asked, "Brother Xu went to Dark Asura Hall. Is this the news you bought?"
"Yes." Xu Han nodded heavily, his expression gloomy, "I have lived for so many years, but I have never heard of such a courageous person who dares to snatch food from the mouth of Dark Asura Hall ."
"Brother Xu, don't say any more sarcastic words. I'm afraid Senior Brother You has already arrived at the wild goose. Quickly chase him back is the right path!" Although Song Yueming did not understand what was going on, he could roughly guess from the conversations among the crowd. He immediately said anxiously.
"What's there to go? You Lingqu wants to die? Are we going to die as well?" Xu Han raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Brother Xu, what are you saying? Even though we have some grudges with Senior Brother You, they are also personal grudges. We are all from the same sect. How can we sit here and watch him die?" Song Yueming retorted, his voice unconsciously becoming louder.
"Junior Brother Song is right. We need to stop Junior Brother You as soon as possible." Feng Yan , who had always been calm, nodded.
At that moment, a group of people discussed their countermeasures and set out without delay.
"Xu guest qing, after all, not long to exquisite pavilion, son fish don't dare to hope for anything, but exquisite pavilion can stand for a thousand years, not by how strong, how exquisite calculations, but between the same sect watchful mutual aid. "You Lingqu and those twenty plus junior brothers and sisters were brought out by me, Fang Ziyu . Either they come back with me, or I die here with them."
"Ziyu, I only hope that after Xu Keqing returns, he can report everything to the headmaster. If anything happens to us, there will naturally be senior apprentice-brothers and junior apprentice-brothers in the sect who will avenge us with their blood." Fang Ziyu 's tone became much more distinct at that time. After she finished speaking, she did not look at the uncertainty on Xu Han's face. She only slightly cupped her hands and turned around to leave. Feng Yan behind also cupped his hands towards Xu Han and hurriedly followed Fang Ziyu 's footsteps.
Inside the room, Song Yueming and Qin Keqing also looked at each other and cupped their hands towards Xu Han.
"Brother Xu is elegant. I am interested. However, I may not have the chance to talk to Brother Xu in the future. Take care." As Song Yueming said this, he resolutely turned around.
" Young Master Xu , Keqing" Qin Keqing seemed to have a lot to say, but at this moment, she didn't know how to say it. In the end, she could only say take care of herself and leave with everyone.
In the blink of an eye, only Xu Han and Chu Chouli, who had yet to understand the situation, remained in Nuo Da's room.
…
Xu Han was stunned inside the room for a long time…
His expression changed, uncertain…
He felt that they were stupid. The Dark Asura Hall was so cruel and notorious. Even so, they were willing to risk their lives for that unlikeable Ridge Traveller.
Perhaps, as Fang Ziyu had said, this was the reason why the Exquisite Pavilion was able to stand for a thousand years in the Great Zhou Empire.
He sighed lightly and finally stood up and walked out of the room.
"Brat Xu, where are we going?" Chu Chouli hurriedly asked.
At that time, the youth turned around and rolled his eyes at the burly man.
He said.
"Pay your debts."
