Chapter 137. Plants Speak
Is this news accurate?

Jiang Jianxin frowned and asked.

She's been browsing the Ping An forum lately, but there's no news about anything happening to Ideal Thirteen City.

However, Wen Yu has indeed not been online for many days, and has not replied to messages.

"First-hand information, very accurate."

Liu Yiguan said with a smile:

“I can hear plants talking. This is what the grass in the wilderness told me. They also received the message from their plant friends in the upper reaches of the Cangjiang River.”

"Can you hear the plants talking?"

Jiang Jianxin's brows twitched slightly.

Liu Yiguan lightly stroked the swaying grass by the roadside with his fingertips, and the wheelchair made a soft rustling sound as it rolled over the bluestone slabs.

"Plants and trees have spirits, and they will naturally chat about everyday things."

A smile played on her lips.

"For example... did you enjoy the ham sandwich you had this morning, Sword Master?"

Liu Yiguan paused, then added:
After finishing the sandwich... you weren't full, so you patted your stomach and had another bowl of instant noodles.

Jiang Jianxin covered her mouth and chuckled twice, saying:

“I believe Elder Liu can truly hear plants speak—but there’s no need to go into such detail.”

"Hahahahaha..."

Liu Yiguan smiled gently.

Jiang Jianxin walked beside Liu Yiguan, thinking about Zuo Siquan who was in the Dream Pavilion.

That morning, Zuo Siquan received a phone call and left in a hurry without telling her what it was about.

Jiang Jianxin thought it was a routine matter at the time, after all, if something serious happened, Zuo Siquan would tell her.

However, looking back now, it was probably an unexpected turn of events that even Zuo Siquan hadn't anticipated, which turned a small matter into a big one.

As an elder of the Dream Pavilion, Zuo Siquan must take the lead, and he doesn't know what the current situation is.

She opened WeChat, clicked on the profile picture of the beautiful blue butterfly, and typed as she walked:

[Jiang Jianxin]: Are you alright, Zuo Siquan?

[Jiang Jianxin]: I'm a little worried about you. Message me when you have some free time.

Zuo Siquan's WeChat was offline, and Wen Yu's was also grayed out; both Dream Pavilion members on the list were busy.

Jiang Jianxin sighed, put his phone in his pocket, and listlessly looked up at the sky.

Seeing her sighing deeply, Liu Yiguan asked:
"what happened?"

“I have a friend who works at the Dream Pavilion. The situation upstream of the Cangjiang River is not good now... I wonder how she is doing.”

Jiang Jianxin said dejectedly.

Liu Yiguan blinked and said:

"Is that friend... a daydreamer?"

Jiang Jianxin suddenly turned his head, his eyes wide, and said:

"you know?"

Liu Yiguan calmly said:

"This happened about ten years ago... She doesn't know how she got targeted by the mental hospital. The blind doctor and his men were chasing after her. She had nowhere to go, so she jumped into my territory."

Seeing Jiang Jianxin's puzzled expression, Liu Yiguan brushed aside the willow branches and explained:
"I forgot to mention, before becoming an elder of the War Alliance, I lived in a long abyss."

"The world calls that long abyss the 'Strangling Green Abyss,' and I am called the 'King of the Underworld'—because all the plants in that green abyss obey my command, and I am the true king there."

Liu Yiguan's face showed a sigh, as if recalling something from a long time ago. Jiang Jianxin was only concerned about Zuo Siquan's later fate, and she pressed for details:

"After that..."

"After that, she fell into my territory. I saw that she also liked willow branches, which suited my temperament, so I didn't do anything to her. Instead, I helped her block the blind master."

At this point, Liu Yiguan rubbed a willow leaf and sneered slightly:
“In the Green Abyss of Extinction, even the blind master would have to be afraid of me.”

——【The Blind Master】

This was the umpteenth time Jiang Jianxin had heard this title.

I first heard this name from Lin Xin'an when I first gained power and hitched a ride with the mental hospital.

The dead body driving the car was still being controlled by the blind master, which was the closest she ever got to this legendary villain.

The second time I heard about the blind master was when I saw Shen Ye, who had just broken free from the blind master's control. Her precognitive childhood was very capable; she directly tricked the blind master and stole someone from under her control.

The third time the blind master was mentioned was in Yin Ju's words. The girl knocked on his door and slaughtered the entire family with a swift and ruthless attack.

The last and most recent instance was when Liu Yiguan recounted her past relationship with Zuo Siquan.

The blind master was clearly unlucky this time. His pursuers jumped into the Green Abyss and ran into the local tyrant, King Senluo, which caused the target to escape.

Jiang Jian thought for a moment, then asked with a worried expression:

"Did the blind master cause trouble for Zuo Siquan or you afterwards?"

Liu Yiguan shook his head and smiled:
"No, that's normal. The blind master has a lot of people to kill. She never wastes time on any target. If she encounters an emergency, she will immediately abandon this one and move on to the next one."

Jiang Jianxin's lips twitched. He hadn't expected that this legendary villain, who was notorious for his evil deeds, was also a master of time management. His schedule was so full, yet he managed to control it so well.

However, it was indeed a good thing that they didn't cause any trouble for the two afterwards, and Jiang Jianxin breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"I never expected your meeting to be such a coincidence."

"My friend at Dream Pavilion is indeed Zuo Siquan. I just contacted her via WeChat. I don't know how she is doing."

Liu Yiguan shook his head and said:
“I asked the plants, and they said they haven’t seen her in Dream Pavilion recently and don’t know what’s going on.”

"The last time I saw her was by the Cangjiang River. A huge golden circle enveloped her, and she disappeared into the golden circle, falling into the river along with the golden light."

Jiang Jianxin said anxiously:
Is it a golden ring that lets willow catkins drift down?

"Correct."

Liu Yiguan replied.

Jiang Jianxin knew that Zuo Siquan must have entered the Fantasy Golden Circle and entered the river along with it.

She thought of Wen Yu again and asked:
"Did your plant friend see a young man fishing by the river?"

Jiang Jianxin remembered that when Zuo Siquan was discharged from the hospital, he chatted with her and Yin Ju and mentioned that Wen Yu said he wanted to go see the underwater pollution area, but found that there were many fish in the river. So he fell in love with fishing and went fishing every day with his fishing rod.

Liu Yiguan hesitated for a moment:
"This... I didn't ask."

She didn't know anything about the young man fishing by the river, and naturally she wouldn't ask him.

"If you want to know, I can ask for you now."

Liu Yi Guan Dao.

Unsure whether the other party was serious or just being polite, Jiang Jianxin still nodded shamelessly:

"Thank you for your help, Elder Liu."

Since faces can't be used as intelligence, knowing Wen Yu's current situation is also important—at least it will let us know if Zuo Siquan is venturing into danger alone.

Fortunately, Liu Yiguan's attitude was the former. After hearing Jiang Jianxin say that he wanted to know, he stopped his wheelchair, took out a willow branch from his pocket without hesitation, and stuck it into the soil.

"Asking for information about specific people is a bit slow, so I'll stick the willow branch here and let it ask slowly."

Liu Yiguan said.

"Once it finds out, it will crawl back out of the soil and come back to my side."
