Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 730 The Blood Scholar's Nightmare, Official Road Tavern

To be honest, Chu Danqing really disliked dealing with such greenhorns who were new to the world.

The other party didn't understand Chu Danqing's tactful meaning. He had already given them a way out; it would be good for everyone if they just followed his advice.

Not only can it save face, but it also allows one to understand the meaning.

"Brother Guo, do you think there's something wrong with Zhong Lei? Should I give her a test?" Chu Danqing whispered to Guo Ming.

Zhong Lei was stubborn and insisted on going to the capital with him to seek justice.

There's a strange sense of déjà vu.

"Brother Chu, I think Zhong Lei is simply captivated by your great charm and initial goodwill."

"Plus, she's a bit of a perfectionist; testing her might be a waste," Guo Ming said.

Each apostle only has 3 testing opportunities; once those are used up, they can only rely on other apostles.

"Furthermore, if she were truly abnormal, the park wouldn't have arranged for us to have direct contact with her."

“The park might want to do this, but the War Frontier and the Fantasy City probably won’t allow it,” Guo Ming continued.

Chu Danqing had this idea in mind, which is why she discussed it with Guo Ming.

“However, she is indeed a bit strange. In my opinion, Brother Chu should take her with him,” Guo Ming said. “The Paradise probably didn’t send her here for no reason.”

"Perhaps there is something we haven't discovered yet."

In Guo Ming's view, flying on his sword was simply about carrying one more person.

One more of the Twelve Yuan Chen Swords is enough.

After hearing what Guo Ming said, Chu Danqing agreed with his suggestion.

"No wonder they all ran so fast, they thought I was a professional?!" Chu Danqing realized at this moment.

The fact that the dragon and the other apostles left so confidently shows that they truly regarded Chu Danqing as a complete gigolo.

Otherwise, logically speaking, they would definitely have discussed how to deal with Zhong Lei.

“Theoretically speaking, Brother Chu, you are indeed a professional.” Guo Ming also smiled. “Brother Chu, if you say a few cheesy pickup lines, you might be able to win her over.”

"But what about in reality?" Chu Danqing had a bad feeling.

"Brother Chu, you should know the actual situation yourself." Guo Ming's smile deepened, and he said, "It's truly appealing to both men and women, young and old."

"???" Chu Danqing thought about it and it seemed to make perfect sense.

Among his allies, there were men, women, young and old.

"Sigh, my method is still too basic." Chu Danqing said seriously, "I'm thinking, when will I use my charm in a trial mission to say something like, 'This world shouldn't be like this'?"

"That's the ultimate way to use it."

As for enchantment? That belongs to the indescribable, corrupting usage of ancient gods and old gods.

If you're still foolishly using your looks to please people, unless you're a gigolo, the returns are too low by now.

Moreover, it's extremely easy for something to go wrong; if you don't balance it properly, you could end up with a machete.

It is also very harmful to the kidneys and causes great suffering.

"That's too high-end. If you really want to use it, Brother Chu, you shouldn't use it in a world with too high a rank, or you might run into trouble," Guo Ming joked.

The two talked for about three minutes and quickly settled the matter.

“Miss Zhong, Brother Guo and I have discussed it,” Chu Danqing said, “we will take you to the capital.”

"Consider it a ride with you."

Zhong Lei found this strange. What did he mean by "give her a ride"?
She knew that she could fly by using the artistic conception, but the problem was that this artistic conception was ultimately just an extension of the move. Unless one's artistic conception was profound, no one could fly indefinitely.

It can only be said that Zhong Lei has never seen the world.

“Alright, then so be it.” Zhong Lei didn’t mind, since her idea was to travel together anyway.

Upon hearing her words, Guo Ming immediately released the Twelve Yuan Chen Swords.

He took off on his sword.

"Ah~" As soon as she was launched into the air, Zhong Lei let out a scream.

Then he immediately fainted and fell from the sky.

"She's afraid of heights?" Chu Danqing was stunned.

"I remember that the experts in this trial world can only fly about twenty or thirty meters at most," Guo Ming said.

When he killed Arughtai before, the opponent couldn't beat him and tried to run away, so he flew away once.

All I can say is that it flew at a similar altitude to Da Bao.

Guo Ming's sword flight is different; it goes directly to a height of thousands of meters.

This way of flying is not only safer but also more efficient.

"Or let her stay unconscious, there are enough flying swords for her to lie on anyway." Chu Danqing had no intention of showing any mercy, so he proposed the simplest solution.

A flying sword flew over and caught Zhong Lei as she fell.

After the person was brought over, Chu Danqing took a closer look.

“No, it’s not a fear of heights,” Chu Danqing said immediately.

He didn't know much about acrophobia, but he knew it was a common type of anxiety disorder.

It is unlikely that a high fever will occur.

It's understandable to faint from fright, and even palpitations and trembling are normal.

The problem is that if a fever occurs, then something is not normal.

Chu Danqing had Da Bai apply a round of treatment to Zhong Lei, but found that the fever did not subside.

"This isn't an illness, nor is it a poison, so what is it?" Chu Danqing asked, puzzled.

However, this is not necessarily bad news, as Chu Danqing suspects it may be some clues.

"Let's land first and find a place to rest," Guo Ming said.

If she fainted due to fear of heights, that's fine. But if we can find clues related to the anomaly, that would be great news.

“Alright, Brother Guo, find a suitable place.” Chu Danqing agreed.

Guo Ming began to descend the flying sword, and in just a short while, they had flown quite a distance.

He found a restaurant on the main road, settled down, and temporarily settled in the quiet backyard to observe further.

About half an hour later, Zhong Lei slowly woke up.

The fever subsided, but the other person looked pale.

Chu Danqing had Da Bai treat her again before she recovered.

"What happened to you just now?" Chu Danqing asked.

"I don't know, when Brother Guo's flying sword took off, I felt like a million steel needles were piercing my brain," Zhong Lei said with lingering fear. "Then I had a nightmare."

As she spoke, she shakily took out the blood letter written by Zhong Hao.

"In my dream, my grandfather and parents, covered in blood, questioned me about why I didn't kill the entire Zhu family to avenge them."

"I was terrified, so I kept running."

“But no matter how hard we run, we can’t escape this vicious cycle.” Zhong Lei shuddered as she said this.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing immediately said, "This blood letter is most likely problematic. If you're worried, leave it to me."

He was lying; it was just to comfort him.

There's definitely no problem with the blood letter; he's had it in his pocket for over a day.

If Zhong Hao hadn't died, he would have been burned to ashes long ago.

“The talk of gods and ghosts is just pure fabrication.” Zhong Lei shook her head: “This matter must be due to my constant thinking about it.”

She knew Chu Danqing meant well, but simply declined.

Since the other party said so, Chu Danqing did not continue.

"Perfect timing, let's rest here for a bit and recover before continuing our journey," Chu Danqing said.

It wouldn't be right for the restaurant to just leave after borrowing their space.

Letting her earn a little is a way of reciprocating, and at the same time, it allows us to observe Zhong Lei further.

Guo Ming didn't care, but Zhong Lei felt that although she had recovered, she was bound to relapse, so she could only nod and say, "Okay."

They all agreed, so they went to the main hall and ordered the restaurant's finest wines and cooked dishes.

There wasn't much wine, but the table was laden with cooked food.

The main reason is that Chu Danqing doesn't drink alcohol, only Guo Ming drinks a little.

Before long, these items were placed on the table.

Da Bao focused on eating, while the three of them chatted idly about trivial matters.

There are quite a few people in this tavern, but not many of them are any good.

At a glance, two of them were spies for the bandits and robbers in the area.

Just order a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts, and sit here all day.

The rest were either traveling merchants, bodyguards, or wandering martial arts practitioners who lived on the edge of danger.

These people can also temporarily act as robbers if necessary.

If there are easy targets, those with lower strength will attack directly, while those with higher strength will go back and call for reinforcements.

Just then, a scholar barged into the tavern with a loud voice.

"Shopkeeper, bring me a jar of fine wine and three catties of cooked sliced ​​beef." As soon as the scholar sat down, he took out a gold ingot from his exquisite purse and slammed it on the table.

When he opened his purse, many people saw the gold beads, silver ingots, and some jewelry inside.

This caught the attention of many people.

"Brothers, this scholar is probably in trouble," Zhong Lei said softly.

However, Chu Danqing and Guo Ming remained calm and composed, acting as if they hadn't seen anything.

"Oh, this has nothing to do with you or me," Chu Danqing said. "Everyone should mind their own business and not worry about what's going on in other people's lives."

In other words, Zhong Lei was a naive newcomer to the world of philanthropy, and it was clear she was just trying to fish for him.

As for those who covet wealth? They are simply blinded by greed.

Otherwise, how could a scholar, and one so wealthy, possibly be found in a tavern by a deserted official road?

Zhong Lei frowned upon hearing this.

In her memory, this senior disciple of the Fengyang School was a public-spirited and righteous person.

Just because of one sentence, he led the entire Fengyang Sect to the Selenge River to meet her and her grandfather.

That line of work was extremely dangerous, but the other party went without hesitation.

But why are you suddenly so indifferent this time?

Although puzzled, he silently picked up a piece of cooked food and ate it, while secretly observing how things would develop.

If all else fails, she can take matters into her own hands to save the person.

Chu Danqing, an expert in governance, immediately saw through Zhong Lei's thoughts.

However, he did not offer any advice, for people cannot teach you everything, but experience teaches you in one go.

Instead of patiently reasoning with her, it's better to let her experience it firsthand, so she won't die in the world of martial arts because of her naivety later on.

Moreover, even if he did tell her, Zhong Lei might not believe him, which would not only waste his breath but also offend her for no reason.

Guo Ming shared the same idea, but he was more interested in having fun than educating Zhong Lei.

This amusement wasn't just for Zhong Lei, but also for the group of people present who coveted the scholar's jewelry.
