The Spirit World

Chapter 970 Shadow Fall (VI)
"Chu Yue."

Ning Ji pushed the pen and paper in front of Chu Yue.

A sword-like brush and clean paper as white as snow all night appeared in front of Chu Yue, but all that could be seen was Chu Yue's excited and surprised eyes, as if she had seen a new toy.

"Brush!"

Chu Yue shouted loudly, holding the middle part of the brush used exclusively by the Lord of White Spirit, and quickly picked up the white paper again. She raised it above her head as if appreciating it, staring at the translucent white paper with her eyes wide open, and exclaimed again, because this piece of white paper was normally thin, which was very amazing.

Chu Yue soon discovered that she couldn't write calligraphy. She looked around and couldn't find a ballpoint pen to write with, so she did something that Ning Ji found disgusting for the first time.

She raised her right hand as if to attract Ning Ji and Ning Qing's attention, and stood up to look around.

"Excuse me! Do you have... a ballpoint pen?!"

"A ballpoint pen... is... what?"

Ning Ji could understand Chu Yue's voice, but he couldn't understand the meaning of her words. He didn't know what a ballpoint pen was, and could only guess that it was an exotic writing tool.

"Oh, no...never mind."

Chu Yue grabbed the brush and quickly wrote her name on the clean paper.

The two characters "Chu Yue" are not much different from the Chinese characters "Chu Yue", but Chu Yue's basic writing skills are very poor. No one can recognize the characters he wrote. The characters are so sloppy and like a snake that Ning Ji is also confused.

Ning Ji glanced at Chu Yue, who seemed a little casual, with a very serious look. Now, he just suspected that Chu Yue was just perfunctorily answering him and not telling him the real information.

Besides, Ning Ji was saving her.

"Chu Yue...are you sure...this is your name?"

Ning Ji tapped the table with his hand.

Ning Ji did not look happy when he saw the two words "Chu Yue" that looked like scribbles.

At least, Chang Yinglan is a role model, and her handwriting is so beautiful that Chu Yue’s handwriting is so ugly now.

"This won't accomplish the mission..."

Ning Qing shook his head and reminded Ning Ji.

"You..." Ning Ji didn't know how to start.

"It's from Earth, right?" Ning Ji's tone was a little heavy, but also seemed gentle and soothing.

This was so contradictory that Ning Ji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief while speaking.

"Yes! Earth!"

Chu Yue nodded and put her hands on the table. No matter who it was, they could feel her arrogance. No one could understand what she said, but her sitting posture was extremely improper. She might not have realized that she was facing the chosen one of the entire empire.

This will make her regret it for the rest of her life.

She was so casual that when Ning Ji talked to her, she acted indifferent.

Or maybe, too arrogant.

It seemed that, deep down in her heart, she was the savior summoned by this world. After surviving a great disaster, she would surely have the blessing of dominating everything in the future.

She even wanted to cross her legs, but gave up because Chang Yinglan was next to her and she couldn't stretch it.

"We now suspect you... are a spy for the Empire."

Ning Ji quickly put the paper and pen next to him.

Both "Chang Yinglan" and "Chu Yue" were suppressed by the Ning family. "What do you think?"

Ning Ji looked much older in an instant, which surprised Chang Yinglan. The aura he exuded became much colder, causing Xiao Lan, a spirit beast, to tremble three times.

"What do I feel..."

Chu Yue looked at the blue sky dome of Bailing Pavilion as if she was thinking.

The rows of moving ink paintings attracted her attention, and she looked at them carelessly like a giraffe, thinking slowly: "Ah... it was a complicated spy case at the beginning... I thought... they would give me a novice gift package or something... give me a martial arts book... give me a... super powerful ability book or something..."

She looked at the ink portraits on the wall one by one. The big shots of Bailing Mountain were all majestic. In the ink paintings, they were not simply repeating the same actions, but doing the "carefully designed" actions that they were most proud of, just as they did when they were alive.

"I'm not a spy...right, you should know that...If I were a spy, why would I have fallen down the mountain...I'm the one being hunted...I don't know what it is...it's just that it's hunting me...really..."

Chu Yue smiled sadly.

"Right... You should be clear now... I feel that you are powerful enough and should be able to help me clear my name... I was wronged..."

"I don't know how I got here, and I was hunted down... and I almost lost my life... Now, I'm involved in a spy incident... I really can't even express my suffering..."

Chu Yue glanced at her nails.

"Hey……"

"Are you done?"

Ning Ji waited patiently for her to finish.

He glanced at Chang Yinglan tenderly for a moment, which surprised Chang Yinglan because it was obvious that Ning Ji had just become very impatient because of the girl next to him who could not understand his language.

Ning Ji was able to understand these words, but he still didn't understand the meaning. He was just very annoyed by the other party's indifference.

Chang Yinglan was very confused watching her actions during this subtle attack, but she could only nod silently in response.

"Um... I'm done..."

Chu Yue also saw Ning Ji's eyes, and then she really paid attention to Chang Yinglan, who was also regarded as a "spy".

Chang Yinglan was dressed in a white silk dress. She was of the same size as her, but she was wearing a veil like a knight. Out of curiosity, Chu Yue wanted to lift Chang Yinglan's veil. Chang Yinglan was startled by Chu Yue's sudden action and dodged instantly. Xiao Lan was also shocked and stuck to Chang Yinglan's face.

"What are you doing?!"

Chang Yinglan was shocked to talk to Chu Yue, who did not speak the same language as her. But then, realizing that she could not understand, she slowly moved her seat and stood up.

Now, Chu Yue was finally in a position where she could stretch her legs and she crossed her legs.

"Oh, it's not fun to watch..."

"Chu Yue... do you want to defend yourself..."

Ning Ji watched Chang Yinglan stand up angrily, then turned his gaze to Chu Yue. Chu Yue was wearing a pair of white sneakers on her crossed legs. Ning Ji had never seen such a style before. He frowned and became obviously cold.

"If there is no other useful information, then we can only wait for Li Lusheng to come and interrogate you. By that time, I will be helpless. Ning Qing, go and ask Lang Yishu Weng to come over, and by the way, investigate the mayor of Yunjin City to see if there is such a daughter named Chang Yinglan. If there is, it will be easy to deal with. We can treat her as someone who came to Bailing Mountain to practice, and this..."

Ning Ji said the most incomprehensible and ridiculous words in his life.

"Go check... where the Earth is... it would be best if it's a city or county in the Principality..."

"If not, it doesn't matter. Li Lusheng probably won't care that much about her life or death. The only one who can help her is herself."
