The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 265: Secret Meeting with Ninth Senior Brother

Luo Fan slowly woke up from the sofa, feeling pain in his back and waist, and didn't understand why he suddenly fell asleep.

He had no memory of going to the underworld.

"I... fell asleep?"

Luo Fan sat up and saw that Xia Yu was no longer around. He left the sofa and looked around, but couldn't find Xia Yu.

He saw Zhou Hai's cell phone on the table, took it and quickly called Xia Yu.

Just as the "incoming phone ring" sounded, Xia Yu suddenly appeared and hugged Luo Fan.

Luo Fan didn't know what was going on. He let Xia Yu hug him tightly. He didn't dare to move. He could only wait quietly for her to calm down.

Seeing that Xia Yu had no intention of letting go after hugging her for a long time, Luo Fan carefully patted Xia Yu's back and asked tentatively: "Little fairy, what's wrong...?"

In fact, Xia Yu really felt like she had been to the underworld, just as the King of Hell had said, and it was as if half of her magic power had been removed.

She felt weak all over, and seemed to be using her last bit of strength to come to Luo Fan. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Luo Fan wake up.

Luo Fan suddenly remembered the matter of the "scheduled text message" and hurriedly pulled Xia Yu's hands, "I have something to tell you."

As soon as Xia Yu let go, he almost fell down. Seeing that the situation was not right, Luo Fan quickly picked up Xia Yu by the waist.

"Aren't you a god? Why are you suddenly so weak?" Luo Fan was puzzled.

"It's okay, I just need to take a rest, I'm a little tired."

"After losing the 'Marriage Bracelet', you don't look like a deity anymore. Is there still no news about the 'Marriage Bracelet'?"

"No……"

"Just lie down and rest, and listen to me quietly..."

After laying Xia Yu on the sofa, Luo Fan took out the "timed text message" and showed it to Xia Yu, explaining: "I suspect that part of my memory has also been erased. I don't know what happened. I will save such a text message for myself."

"Take me to your hometown?"

"I'm also confused. No one has lived in my hometown for more than ten years. The people in that village have long moved out. The whole village has been deserted for a long time. Why do you want to go to my hometown?"

"Are you going now?"

"Yes, and you have to go in secret, and don't tell anyone."

"Is it not possible for Second Brother? He has great magical powers, and it would be easy for him to send us anywhere..."

"It's best if only the two of us know this."

"What happened? You were even on guard against Second Senior Brother, so he took Yan Lan's vicious blow for me regardless of the danger, and is now recovering at home."

Xia Yu narrated the story of "she and Li Jian went to rescue people", and Luo Fan realized that Lan Yue and Dong Qi were both rescued by Xia Yu and Li Jian. Otherwise, the family of three would have been killed.

"Little fairy, you take a rest first to recover your magic power. I will prepare some food and clothes, and we will set off to my hometown immediately."

Luo Fan went downstairs while talking. His hometown "Niaowo Village" has been deserted for more than ten years. There is no one living in the deep mountains. This time he reminded himself to bring Xia Yu with him, and said he would bring more food and clothes. This can only mean...someone is hiding there.

Luo Fan walked into a large shopping mall near the villa and bought a lot of food and clothes, including men's and women's clothing.

By the time Luo Fan returned to the ninth floor of the villa with everything ready, Xia Yu already looked much more energetic. At least he was able to use magic to take Luo Fan to [Niaowo Village].

……

As soon as you enter the range of [Niaowo Village], you will be surrounded by clouds and mist. If you use the spell "fly" instead of "teleport", you will probably get lost in the sky over the deep mountains.

When passing through the "deep mountains", you can hear the chirping of insects and birds, and the echoes of falling stones.

In a short period of time, Gu Baili had recuperated well in Niaowo Village, but he felt that this was a good hiding place before he found a solution, so he stayed.

He cast a spell to plant flowers, vegetables and rice in the yard, and made the grape vines come back to life and bear grapes, making the yard as beautiful as a high-end mountain B&B.

The locust flowers in the courtyard are in full bloom. When the breeze blows, the petals flutter to the ground, forming a thick "flower carpet" under the trees.

Sensing someone coming, when he was unsure of the person's identity, Gu Baili transformed himself into a "locust flower" and hid among the many locust flowers, looking down from above. The strong fragrance of the locust flowers temporarily covered up Gu Baili's fairy spirit. Gu Baili remained silent until he saw Luo Fan pulling Xia Yu into the courtyard.

"Didn't you say... that no one has lived in your hometown for more than ten years and there is nothing there?" Xia Yu asked puzzledly.

The current scene doesn’t look like “no one lives there”.

The courtyard at this time was a feast for the eyes. Even the dead vines were full of grapes. There were flowers and vegetables in the vegetable garden, as well as golden rice. It was much more beautiful than when Luo Fan's family lived there.

"This..." Luo Fan himself didn't know why. Perhaps, this showed that the person hiding here was not an ordinary person.

"Little junior sister."

When Gu Baili saw that it was Xia Yu, he flew down from the locust tree and looked at Luo Fan who was shocked.

Luo Fan was dumbfounded: "Nine... Senior Brother? Why are you here?"

"Ninth Senior Brother..." Xia Yu was also stunned.

"My dear 'brother-in-law', you don't even remember why I'm here, how could you remember to bring my little sister here? And you brought so many things, thank you for being so thoughtful, please pack up the things!"

Luo Fan only heard "good brother-in-law" in his heart, and his hands seemed to be full of strength. He glanced at Xia Yu, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and he responded: "Okay, I'll go clean up, you guys chat."

"Junior sister, I didn't expect to see you here." Gu Baili said as he pulled Xia Yu to the grape vines and sat on the bench. Gu Baili continued to heal Xia Yu without saying a word.

Gu Baili helped Xia Yu heal her injuries, and the effect was even better than Li Jian's. After a while, she moved her body around and no longer felt "tired".

"Thank you, Senior Brother Nine." Xia Yu looked around, then at Gu Baili's current casual outfit, and asked, "Didn't Senior Brother Nine go to help Senior Brother Seven and Senior Brother Eleven solve the problem of 'disordered marriage lines'? Why did you come to Luo Fan's hometown?"

"So, the part of memory that Luo Fan lost was erased by Senior Brother Nine?" Xia Yu suddenly realized.

When Gu Baili heard Xia Yu mention "Chu Lichen and Nangong Xu", his eyes immediately became sharp, and he asked Xia Yu vigilantly: "You came here, you didn't tell Li Jian?"

Li Jian? Ninth Senior Brother called Second Senior Brother by his name...

"No, Luo Fan didn't let me say it, so I..."

Xia Yu was about to continue speaking, but Gu Baili interrupted her.

"That's good." After Gu Baili said that, he formed a spell with one hand. The spell was in the shape of a locust flower. The petals spread out and floated into Xia Yu's eyes. Xia Yu then watched what happened between "him and Chu Lichen, and Nangong Xu" from Gu Baili's perspective.

"He...they..." Xia Yu was so shocked that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

She was also wondering if there was any news about her Ninth Senior Brother for a long time, and was just about to ask her Second Senior Brother about the situation of her three Senior Brothers, but her plans were disrupted by what Yan Lan did.

"It's them, it's them who are lying, it's them who deceived us..."

As Xia Yu was talking, he suddenly remembered something and immediately grabbed Gu Baili's hands, asking excitedly: "If they lied, does that mean that everything they said is untrustworthy? That means... Senior Brother Seventeen was not the mastermind behind this, but they deliberately framed him!"

Gu Baili took Xia Yu's hand in return. Seeing that she did not doubt Li Jian even at this point, he felt a little reluctant but still said bluntly: "It's not just Chu Lichen and Nangong Xu. Junior Sister, think about it, when these two people framed Junior Brother Seventeen, who was helping them?"

"No... Impossible..." Xia Yu didn't even dare to think about it. All she could think of was the scene of "Li Jian standing in front of her without hesitation."

It’s the second brother.

"Who is it that is directing our attention towards the 'Demon Realm' and confusing our vision?" Gu Baili asked again.

That’s right… Second Brother.

"No..." Xia Yu felt a headache the more she thought about it. Every word Gu Baili said pierced her heart, making her think about Second Senior Brother's words and deeds over and over again. But all she remembered were Second Senior Brother's good points...

"But...but Second Senior Brother replayed that day for me and First Senior Brother...replayed the scene of him and Seventeenth Senior Brother fighting, proving that it was Seventeenth Senior Brother who betrayed us..."

"Silly girl, if our meeting now was a plan we had set up long ago, and if I were someone else who had transformed into this appearance, even if you replayed the current scene a hundred times, what would happen? Do you think the scene you replayed is real or fake?"

"The picture is real... the story is fake..." Xia Yu didn't dare to continue. In his mind, he recalled the various ways that Bai Yu didn't believe Li Jian. He suddenly felt flustered and hypnotized himself: "No... No... Second Brother wouldn't do that..."

Gu Baili became more and more angry. Seeing Xia Yu's "unbelievable" expression, he asked Xia Yu again: "You saw what I went through just now. I was chased by Chu Lichen and Nangong Xu and hid in the temple dedicated to the master. When there was no way to escape, do you think Li Jian's marriage ring received the 'warning'?"
