Chapter 524 People Returning From Hell

The Imperial City was still bustling at night. Ordinary people did not seem to be affected by the war at the border or the undercurrents in Jianghu.

The pedestrians were still shuttling through the streets, and the vendors were still shouting with all their might.

The troubles of great men had nothing to do with them, at least until something happened. This is not their insensitivity, but many things even if you are worried, it will not change anything. Instead, living a good life in the present is the most important thing for these ordinary people.

Only Ye Hongjian and Xu Han seemed to have exchanged positions when they came out of the restaurant.

Ye Hongjian was like a child who had made a mistake. She kept her head down and remained silent. However, the difference was that Xu Han did not dare and did not want to lose his temper with Ye Hongjian.

He just felt that it was somewhat funny and somewhat unbelievable.

This kind of thing was really not something that Ye Hongjian could do with her temper.

However, after thinking about it carefully, there was indeed something fishy about it. After all, with Ye Hongjian's eldest young miss who did not touch the spring water with her ten fingers, it really did not make sense for her to be able to improve her cooking skills in such a short period of time.

It was just that Xu Han had never thought that Ye Hongjian would take the food in the restaurant and serve it as something he had personally done. Therefore, apart from sighing, he did not do what he wanted.

He looked at Ye Hongjian, who was silent with her head lowered. He wanted to find a topic to resolve this awkward situation. Although he could not understand why Ye Hongjian did this, the root of the matter clearly came from him. He naturally wouldn't criticize Ye Hongjian for this, so he wanted to say something after thinking for a bit.

'"Xiao Han" Before he could say anything, Ye Hongjian interrupted him first.

Xu Han, who originally thought that Ye Hongjian would remain silent for a long time, was slightly stunned when he heard this. He turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

At that time, Ye Hongjian's head was buried even lower. The flames from the lanterns on both sides of the street shone on the side of a woman dressed in red. It was unknown if it was because of some unspeakable panic that the eyelashes on the woman's pair of eyes, which had a picturesque appearance, blinked uneasily.

She stopped and fell silent for a few more breaths before saying in a voice that was more than a few points lower than usual, "Do you think I did a terrible job?"

Xu Han was stunned again. Ye Hongjian's question was somewhat abrupt for Xu Han.

He used about a breath of time to think about this question carefully. Then, a certain expression appeared on his face. He shook his head decisively, "No!"

"Actually, I've always thought that the food cooked on Hongjian is the most delicious thing in the world!"

Xu Han's words could be said to be resolute. With that serious expression on his face, who would disagree with him on this point? He would immediately use his sword to kill one of his opponents and turn his horse upside down.

However, in his opinion, the best answer was Ye Hongjian's big eyes.

The loneliness on Ye Hongjian's face dissipated at this moment. She said angrily, "That's not what I'm talking about."

Xu Han blinked his eyes and asked in confusion, "What is that?"

Ye Hongjian couldn't help but stroke her forehead and sigh. At this moment, she was secretly questioning herself as to why she had taken a fancy to this idiot.

But now, Ye Hongjian could only endure this'evil consequence '. She sank her eyebrows and asked, "I'm asking if I did a terrible job as a wife!"

At this moment, Xu Han finally reacted. However, if this question was put before him, Xu Han might be able to have a good chat with Ye Hongjian. However, at this moment, Ye Hongjian, who was clearly enraged by Xu Han's wooden stare, was obviously not someone Xu Han could afford to provoke.

Driven by a strong desire to survive, Xu Han nodded heavily once again and said resolutely, "How could that be? You can't do better!"

After Xu Han's appearance, Ye Hongjian's resentment in her heart had mostly disappeared by eighty percent. She rolled her eyes at the youth again, but the expression on her face became lonely in the blink of an eye.

"I was just thinking, I never seemed to have been able to help you with anything…"

Ye Hongjian lowered her head and her voice became undetectable again.

"It's good in Chang'an, it's good here. I can't even cook a delicious meal for you."

"Is a wife like me really competent?"

Ye Hongjian knew Xu Han well, She could tell that Xu Han was worried about Liu Sheng's affairs. Apart from that, he could also see that he had other thoughts. Xu Han never took the initiative to mention these thoughts. Ye Hongjian wanted to ask but did not ask because she knew that there was a reason why Xu Han did not say anything. It was also because of this reason that even if she did, Xu Han would only find some reasons to prevaricate.

However, she really wanted to do something for Xu Han. Especially after seeing Nangong Jing find that Confucian and Taoist master for Xu Han today, her instinct as a woman made her faintly realize some unstable factors. Of course, the most important thing was her guilt for not doing anything.

Thinking of this, Ye Hongjian frowned, and the loneliness on her face became a few points heavier.

Although Xu Han was somewhat slow to deal with this man and woman, his mind was delicate after all. He quickly understood the general cause and effect from Ye Hongjian's words, but in fact, he did not blame Ye Hongjian in the slightest.

Perhaps he had always been vengeful towards his enemies, but he was extremely lenient towards those who recognized him.

Moreover, in his opinion, Ye Hongjian did not do anything wrong. Everyone was an independent existence in the world, and had their own unavoidable and unsincere words. If he asked others to stand on the same side as him in everything, and felt that the other party's actions were slightly inappropriate, would he ever consider it on the other party's side?

Such a person would probably never have a heart-to-heart relationship with him.

Everything Ye Hongjian had done in her position was already all she could do. Besides, Xu Han was not satisfied with being able to make such a woman treat him like this, so he could no longer give birth to any harsh reprimand.

He looked at the lonely Ye Hongjian and felt some pity in his heart.

Driven by such pity, he actually stretched out his hand and touched the girl's head. The touch of the palm and the girl's soft hair made Xu Han feel a little apathetic.

Ye Hongjian was also alarmed by Xu Han's sudden bold action. She raised her head like an electric shock, but at that time, she met the youth's gaze, and his voice immediately rang in her ears.

"Did I ever tell you?"

"Huh?"

"It's great that you're here."

Ye Hongjian's body trembled. Her gaze towards Xu Han instantly flickered. Her pair of dark eyes seemed to be capable of speaking, reflecting the lights in the Royal City, flickering with a dazzling light that was even more resplendent than the starlight.

It seemed to be due to some kind of tacit understanding. At this moment, the two of them looked straight at each other. Their heads were getting closer and closer, and they could even clearly feel each other's breathing becoming heavier and heavier.

"Master, what are they doing?" At this moment, a tender voice broke the charming atmosphere between the two of them.

The awakened two separated as if they had been electrocuted. Only then did they realize that they were still in the midst of this disturbance.

"They're fighting."

"Fighting? Then why don't you use your sword?"

"Eh … this is the battle between experts. Their gazes intersected, seemingly completely motionless. In fact, their internal spiritual will has already exchanged blows a thousand times."

"Then was Master fighting with that big sister of some building so close last time?"

"Mm… Of course. Sigh! Stop it, we have to hurry."

"Oh."

At this moment, a strange conversation entered their ears. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man hurriedly leaving not far away with a little girl in a sheep's horn braid.

The two of them exchanged a glance. They did not probe into this strange master and disciple. They only remembered that the two of them had almost lost their composure in this busy city. They couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. They hurriedly turned their gazes away from each other at that time.

'"I didn't expect that Normally, Mu Leng would pretend to be a girl. You are also a top-notch expert when it comes to deceiving girls. No wonder Nangong Jing changed his methods all day long and wanted to lean against you …" After a moment of silence, Ye Hongjian teased again.

How could Xu Han withstand such mockery? He immediately explained, "Nangong Jing is just a business person. I really have nothing to do with her."

"Then do you want to have anything to do with it?" Ye Hongjian blinked her eyes.

Xu Han's body trembled as he said solemnly, "Naturally, I don't want to."

Ye Hongjian was also amused by Xu Han's appearance. She frowned and said, "Forgive me for not having the courage to do so."

Seeing her like this, Xu Han also smiled slightly and was about to say something, but at that time, his brows suddenly wrinkled and he raised his head to look into the depths of the street corner. At that moment, his pupils suddenly dilated, and fear appeared between his eyebrows.

When Ye Hongjian saw that Xu Han had suddenly disappeared, it was a little strange. She raised her head to look at the youth, but she also noticed the youth's abnormal state. She hurriedly followed Xu Han's gaze and looked towards the corner of the street. When she saw what was happening at the corner of the street clearly, her body seemed to be heavily injured and she froze in place.

At the end of the street, people came and went.

In the crowd, an old man dressed in a crow-green robe stood there like a ghost. The crowd passed by him as if they could not sense his existence at all. The old man's gaze did not stop at all on the pedestrians either. He stood there as if he had crawled out of hell. His gaze was gloomy, as if he had passed through the Netherworld of Yellow Springs, past the Gate of Life and Death, and reached here.

Ye Hongjian could no longer suppress the horror in her heart.

She murmured.

"Grandpa Headmaster…"
