Rebellious Contract Beast

"You can leave now." Putting away the letter in his hand, Shen Yi said calmly to Qu Xiangui who was outside the curtain.

"Yes."

Qu Xiangui nodded and decided not to get in the way. He turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door.

After he left, Shen Yi did not stay in the "office" for too long. He ordered the four ghost soldiers to return to their original positions and jumped out from the windowsill.

Returning to Mingyan Courtyard, the first people Shen Yi saw were Bo Nian and Xiang Tao. They looked at him strangely, but Shen Yi could not care about that. He scanned with his spiritual sense and quickly headed towards the hall, then signaled to He Jian Chuyun who was sitting in the main seat with his eyes.

Seeing this, He Jianchuyun immediately understood what he meant and said to the maidservant beside him, "You guys go out first."

"Yes, ma'am."

"..."

"where did you go?"

"Qu Xiangui had something to do, so I went over there."

"So do you have something to say to me?"

"nonsense."

Shen Yi jumped onto the chair next to her, threw the letter Qu Xiangui had given him to her, and said, "Open it and take a look."

"Yeah." The girl nodded and opened the letter swiftly, but after reading it, her face was full of confusion.

"What does this letter mean?"

Zooming in, we can see that there isn't much in the letter, it's very short, just one line.

[I know what you are looking for. Let's meet. Tomorrow night at midnight, the ghost market in Jiangzhou City will open. I will wait for you by the lake.]

"This letter was given to Han Wanhe. He was threatened last night. The person who threatened him gave him this letter and asked him to pass it to me."

"Oh~" He Jianchuyun suddenly realized, and then asked: "Don't you know who the person who wrote the letter is?"

"I wish I knew."

"Have you made up your mind? Do you want to meet this person?"

"This..." Shen Yi hesitated.

To be honest, after reading the letter, he felt a creepy feeling. It was so strange, as if there was someone he couldn't see who was watching him all along.

It was as if a pair of big hands were pushing me towards a place no one knew.

He had several questions in his mind.

The first one is, who is the person who wrote the letter?

The second question is, what is the relationship between the person who wrote the letter and the assassin named Jing Yao from the Lonely Alliance?
The third question is why did he suddenly want to see me?
The last question is what is the situation when my Tianyin Wanling Explosion is immune?
He didn't know what the writer would do when he saw him. It was possible that he would step directly into a trap if he went over there.

But if I don’t go, how would I know what the other party is going to do?
What Shen Yi feared most was that someone was trying to kill him, while he was still standing there stupidly, knowing nothing.

The existence of this letter has already shown that Jing Yao's immunity to his own Tianyin Wanling Explosion was done intentionally by someone.

He had to find out the purpose of the person who wrote the letter, so he had to meet the other person to see what he was going to do and get a better understanding of the situation before making any plans.

So Shen Yi said: "Go, you must go!"

"Do you want to bring someone with you? I'm afraid that the mysterious person we are going to meet has bad intentions. It would be easier and safer if we bring more people with us."

"Let's just take Bo Nian and Xiang Tao with us, and forget about the others."

"Uh-huh."

He Jianchuyun nodded, and then both sides fell silent, and no one took the initiative to speak. She looked at the letter in her hand, staring at the contents on it, and no one knew what she was thinking.

In the following time, Shen Yi kept thinking about the letter. He felt like there was something stuck in his throat. Time became extremely unbearable and he finally got through the day.

The next day, night fell.

When the night grew darker and there were no more pedestrians on the street, He Jianchuyun let Shen Yi enter his own consciousness space, called Xiangtao and Boyan, and the three of them got on a carriage, left the Luoxiangzui Winery, and drove towards Xinfei Sixth Street.

Speaking of which, He Jian Chu Yun hadn't been to the ghost market in Jiangzhou City for a long time. Looking at the strange fog rising around her, she had a strange yet familiar feeling in her heart.

After a while, the thick fog, which was not like that in the world of the living, slowly dissipated, and a bridge with a magnificent gate appeared on the road ahead. Tall ghost soldier puppets held weapons and stood upright on both sides. Their eyes emitting faint firelight stared at every customer who walked into the ghost market.

"Miss, we've arrived at the ghost market."

Boyan, who was driving in front, spoke up to remind them.

Hearing this, Tsurumi Hatsuyun nodded: "Yes, I understand."

When the carriage stopped by the side of the street, the three of them put on ghost market masks at the same time, hid their bodies in wide black robes, and blended into the crowd.

Passing through the "Gate of Hell" and walking across the "Bridge of Naihe", the prosperity of Jiangzhou Ghost Town is in full view. Rows of lanterns are swaying, the lights are flickering, and on the street stalls, charcoal fires are crackling. Various ingredients in the heavy iron pots are roasted until golden and crispy. Occasionally, oil drips onto the charcoal fire, instantly igniting a small flame.

The intoxicating aroma lingers in the streets, accompanied by the noisy sounds of hawkers. It is a kind of liveliness and bustle that touches the heart.

Looking around, this place doesn't look like a ghost market, but more like an ordinary night market.

He Jian Chu Yun didn't want to pay attention to all this, and took Bo Nian and Xiang Tao towards the small street on the left.

The ghost town of Jiangzhou City is actually such a big area. In real comparison, it is not even one-tenth the size of Shangtang Town. There is only one place by the lake in the ghost town, so she found it quickly.

There is no moon in the ghost town at night, but there are hundreds of stars hanging in the night sky. The shapes of the stars are very strange, looking like grains of rice. The water in the lake on the ground is as black as ink, and you can't see the bottom or what is hidden inside.

According to people who have been in the lake, it is impossible to sink in this lake, no matter how hard you try.

There are still many snack stalls run by "paper puppets" on the road about ten feet away from the water, but there are few people on the lakeside.

He Jianchuyun glanced at them one by one. There was a willow tree growing next to a big rock, and the willow leaves were as black as lake water.

On the other side of the big rock, there was a man dressed extremely mysteriously. He was also wearing black clothes and a hat on his head. His face was tightly covered by a black veil.

Seeing this person, He Jianchuyun frowned slightly and asked in his heart: "Xuan Li, is this the person?"

"How should I know?" Shen Yi replied. The old witch didn't even know the other party, let alone herself.

He wanted to use his spiritual sense to check, but the man seemed to have an invisible wall around him, making it impossible for his spiritual sense to cover him.

"No, my spiritual sense can't see this thing."

"What should I do?"

"Go over and talk to him and see if you can get anything out of him."

He Jian Chu Yun hesitated for a short while and soon agreed. Then she turned to Bo Nian and Xiang Tao behind her and said, "You two stay here and watch. I'll go over and take a look. If there's anything wrong, you take action immediately." "Yes, Miss."

Xiang Tao and Boyan nodded in agreement at the same time. Both of them had broken through to the spiritual level, which was enough for He Jian Chuyun to walk around Jiangzhou City with ease.

After receiving the order, the two of them randomly found a chaos stall nearby, then sat at the table, watching Tsurumi Hatsuyun walk towards the mysterious man step by step.

However, He Jianchuyun had only taken a few steps when she saw the mysterious man's hat slightly raised up and his gaze fell directly on her.

Tsurumi Hatsuyun felt her scalp tingling. For some reason, this man's gaze made her feel uncomfortable all over.

"Xuanli..."

"Don't panic, just keep walking and see what he's going to do."

He Jianchuyun took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distracting thoughts, and met the gaze of the mysterious man until he came in front of him.

She opened her mouth and was about to say something to the mysterious man, but who would have thought that the other person would speak first: "You came quite quickly, and didn't keep me waiting too long."

Tsurumi Hatsuun was stunned: "What?"

Not only her, but Shen Yi in the consciousness space was also stunned.

The other party's tone sounded as if he was waiting for Tsurumi Hatsuun, not himself.

What's the situation?
Tsurumi Hatsuun was the first to calm down and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

"The person I'm waiting for is you."

"No one else but me?"

"Are you talking about the little guy in your head? He's not that guy. He's just delivering messages for me."

"..."

"Shit!" Shen Yi yelled in shock in his consciousness space. He quickly realized that he had been arranged by someone!

Then came even greater doubts.

Who is this person? What is his identity?
Judging from his performance, it seems like he knows himself very well!
In an instant, that creepy feeling rose up again, making Shen Yi shiver.

Tsurumi Hatsuun remained silent for a full ten seconds before he asked, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know this. If nothing unexpected happens, this is the first time we meet, and it will also be the last time we meet."

"Then you know who I am?"

"Of course I know. The eldest daughter of the Tsurumi family, Tsurumi Hatsuyun, is from the Jiang Yuxu, the young master of the Jiang family, a prominent family in Beiluochachuan, who escaped three hundred years ago. About three hundred years ago, before the Tsurumi family, I was a guest at your ancestor's Hejian Villa." The mysterious man spoke eloquently with a hint of sigh in his tone.

He Jian Chu Yun was unmoved. In her heart, she never felt that her ancestors had anything to do with her.

If her father had not succeeded in killing her father and seizing the throne, it would have been a mystery whether she could have been born, let alone the legitimate daughter of the Tsurumi family.

In the space of consciousness, Shen Yi was looking at the other person through his voice.

The mysterious man's voice sounded old but powerful, similar to that of a man in his sixties or seventies. However, since he was a cultivator, his actual age must be at least in the three digits.

What he said should not be a lie. As long as one cultivates to the spiritual level, he can live for at least four or five hundred years. But the prerequisite is that he can survive, has small ambitions, and knows what contentment is.

As the saying goes, those who are good at fighting die in battle, and those who are good at swimming drown in the water. This is the truth. In this world, many people who pursue immortality die on the way to immortality. Their lifespans are already much longer than those of ordinary people, but they are not satisfied and continue to practice to break through to a higher level. As a result, they practice themselves to death, or they are killed by the plague.

"Are you from the Daliang royal family?" He Jianchuyun continued to ask in a deep voice.

He shook his head mysteriously: "No, I have no relationship with the Daliang royal family."

"Then what do you want from me?"

"I'll give you something."

He Jianchuyun raised his eyebrows, didn't ask what it was, just stretched out his hand, and looked at him indifferently.

"Hehe~" The mysterious man couldn't help laughing and said, "You are quite straightforward, girl. However, what I want to give you is not an ordinary thing. It must be placed at your entrance. Come here."

As he said this, he waved to the girl, but upon seeing this, Tsurumi Hatsuyun not only did not step forward, but instead took a step back.

What a joke, giving you something for no reason, there is no such thing as pie falling from the sky.

Who knows what the other party is planning?
Anyway, Tsurumi Hatsuyun was 100% wary of him.

"Since you have something to give me, just give it to me. If you want to tamper with my entrance, don't even think about it!"

"The things I want to give you cannot be seen or touched. How can I give them to you except putting them in your porch?"

"If I can't see or touch it, then I don't need it!" He Jianchuyun said as he distanced himself from the other party again.

The mysterious man's tone suddenly changed, and he said in a cold voice: "It will be good for both you and me if you accept this thing, but you have to accept it anyway, it's not up to you."

"Why?"

"If you become an enemy of the most powerful person in the world in the future, it will be of great help to you." The mysterious man said in a tempting tone.

He Jianchuyun frowned. The strongest person in the world?
After Ju Junquan's death, the most powerful person in the world now is a man named Shi Qingchun. What can be said about this man? He is as calm as a chrysanthemum and never gives up on anything. He even had a good relationship with Ju Junquan when he was still alive. He Jianchuyun can't understand why he should be his enemy?
So she didn't need the things that Mi Si wanted to give her anymore.

"Really? Then tell me, what exactly do you want to give me?"

"This thing is called Sky..." The mysterious man opened his mouth and wanted to say the name of the object, but halfway through his words he looked up at the sky and for some reason he closed his mouth.

Tsurumi Hatsuun also looked up, but there was nothing there.

When he lowered his head, the mysterious man became impatient and shouted, "Just take it when I told you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode towards Tsurumi Hatsuyun. The aura on his body became unfriendly, as if he would attack Tsurumi Hatsuyun if he dared to resist. The air around them became noticeably depressing.

But He Jian Chu Yun was not alone. Seeing that the situation was not right, Xiang Tao and Boyan, who were not far away, took action directly.

A large amount of spiritual energy rose up, making bursts of explosions. The shadows of large spears about ten feet long and as thick as tree trunks formed instantly and fell from the sky, blocking the mysterious person.

Then Xiang Tao also took out her own huge sword, and came to Tsurumi Hatsuyun like a ghost, looking at the mysterious man vigilantly.

"What a hassle. I'll just have to deal with you two first!"

"Old man! You want to deal with us two, but you don't even check your own strength first!"

"..."
