Chapter 136 Who Is It

On the second day, Ye Hongjian did not normally go to the cave of Zhongju Peak to cultivate alone after getting up.

She chased away Chu Chouli, who was humming an unknown tune while cooking. He turned a blind eye to the middle-aged man's resentful expression of being robbed of his daughter-in-law and took over the kitchen.

As a result, when Xu Han woke up, there was a sumptuous breakfast in front of him that made him a little dumbfounded.

"Get up." Ye Hongjian, who had been waiting for a long time, smiled sweetly and said, "Come and eat soon."

Her tone was so gentle that it made one feel tired of it.

However, Xu Han only lightly nodded his head, then sat beside Ye Hongjian, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat on his own.

His expression was calm.

It was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.

However, this calm made Ye Hongjian, who was at the side, feel terrified.

She looked at the youth in front of her with a complicated expression. She tried to find some clues from him that she wanted to know, but the result was not satisfactory. The youth's expression remained the same, as if what happened yesterday was just her illusion.

Ye Hongjian frowned. She was a little worried. At least, from the moment she knew him, she had never seen the youth in such a sorry state.

The sorrow that came from the soul caused people's hearts to tremble, and it caused them to feel even more heartache.

She could not suppress the worry in her heart. At that time, she opened her mouth and asked, "Yesterday…"

"I'm done. Thank you." But just as he spoke, Xu Han stood up and placed the bowl and chopsticks on the table. He lifted the sword beside him and left the courtyard.

Ye Hongjian did not say anything to stop him. She could tell that Xu Han did not want to say anything, so no matter how she asked, it would be useless.

She sighed in her heart and remained silent for a long time.

"Ah, so many delicious food!" At this time, Chu Chouli, who had been bored by the usurped kitchen for a while, walked back. He looked at the table full of dishes. His eyes lit up and he sat down. He reached out to grab a piece of delicious chicken and was about to eat it.

"Brother Chu, do you know what happened to him?" Ye Hongjian looked in the direction where Xu Han had left and asked with a frown.

"What's wrong?" Chu Chouli asked ambiguously as the fragrance of the chicken overflowed from his mouth. Obviously, most of his thoughts were focused on the plate of chicken in front of him.

"Yesterday" Turning his head, he originally wanted to tell Chu Chouli what had happened yesterday, but he saw that Chu Chouli and the chicken had been killed to the point of darkness. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the chicken had entered Chu Chouli's stomach.

Ye Hongjian was instantly furious. She grabbed the plate of chicken with one hand and glared at Chu Chouli fiercely.

"What are you eating? Didn't you hear the loud noise yesterday?"

"Yesterday?" Chu Chouli had a puzzled expression on his face. "Very good. The weather is good. I slept very comfortably."

Ye Hongjian rolled her eyes. "Then you can continue to sleep."

She said angrily, then placed the plate of chicken beside her feet and sent it into Xuan'er's mouth, who had been coveting it for a long time.

…

Meng Liang left, and Mo Chen Zi also left.

Xu Han's life seemed to have returned to its original state.

In the morning, he cultivated swordsmanship in the Zhong Manor. He had long since memorized the main points of the Mountain Destroying Swordsmanship. After all, it was not a profound swordsmanship. Although Xu Han's talent was not good, he had already mastered it with Zhong Changhen's and Mo Chen's guidance. It was just that he was still short of temperament.

After lunch, Song Yueming found Xu Han and said that he was worried about Fang Ziyu. Xu Han even accompanied Song Yueming to Fang Ziyu's residence and visited him.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Han did not show any signs of being strange. In the evening, he still chatted and laughed with Song Yueming, who had stayed behind to eat.

No one could sense Xu Han's change, except Ye Hongjian, who had witnessed yesterday's scene.

She couldn't help but look at Xu Han, wanting to figure out what had happened to this youth. The more she acted like this, the more she felt that Xu Han was too abnormal, so abnormal that it was almost normal.

After dinner, Xu Han sent Song Yueming off and went back to his room. As before, he lay on the floor of Ye Hongjian's room and fell asleep.

Ye Hongjian wanted to find some trouble to say something to Xu Han several times, but Xu Han managed to deal with it perfunctorily. As the night went on, Ye Hongjian was unable to withstand the incoming drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep.

…

Night to midnight.

However, it was the time when the rumors spread among the people that Hundred Ghosts Traveled Strangers

Chongju Peak had long since ceased to be noisy in the daytime, and everyone fell asleep at that time.

In the small porch window, the youth's eyes suddenly opened.

He stood up like a ghost, then put on a black robe and left the courtyard.

The black cat that was playing in the courtyard seemed to have noticed something as it dodged a few times and landed on Xu Han's shoulder.

The youth smiled and gently stroked the black cat's head.

Then, the Qi around him condensed and turned into a streak of black light that flew out of the courtyard and rushed down the mountain.

Recently, thanks to Mo Chen Zi's guidance, his Golden Core and Sword Seed had merged a bit faster, and his strength had also improved. In addition, the second chapter of the Asura Technique that the purple-eyed girl had gifted him, his physical cultivation had also started to increase rapidly. The qualitative change caused by the combination of the two made him extremely fast.

It took him only half an hour to complete the long journey down the mountain.

After confirming that he had left the possible existence of the mountain gate, he found a dense forest and flew in.

When he stepped inside, he stopped and took a deep breath.

He seemed to hesitate, but after looking at the tassel in his hand, this hesitation dissipated into a resolute golden stone.

At that moment, he put his thumb and index finger into his mouth, and an ear-piercing crisp sound rang out in the dense forest.

He blew three times in a row before withdrawing his fingers. Then, he stood with his hands behind his back and looked towards the horizon. He seemed to be waiting for something.

Pu! Pu!

After a hundred breaths of silence, waves of wings spread out from the silent dense forest. A raven that had almost merged with the night circled above Xu Han's head and slowly landed on Xu Han's shoulder.

Xu Han did not think too much.

He took out a small piece of paper from his bosom and bit his index finger. His hand was like a large brush as he wrote down a handwriting on the paper. Then, he folded it neatly and placed it at the crow's ankle.

After doing all of this, a hostile aura flashed in the youth's eyes. He gritted his teeth, lifted the raven's body, and threw it abruptly. At that time, the raven flapped its wings and turned into a black shadow, flying towards the boundless night.

The youth stared straight at the raven. Only when its figure completely disappeared into the night did he withdraw his gaze.

"Xuan'er, there are some things that you can not do, but there are some things that you must do, right?"

The youth stroked the black cat's hair in his arms and muttered to himself.

The black cat in his arms seemed to have heard the youth's words. It let out a soft sound and rubbed against the youth's chest.

The youth seemed to have sensed the intentions of the black cat, and a faint smile appeared on his ice-cold face.

Actually, he only wrote two words on the letter.

Two simple words.
