Three times married to Yama

Chapter 279 Getting Acquainted

After hearing my words, the little princess took another deep sniff of the air before continuing to follow us.

but……

Although I didn't smell the stinky-sweet smell the little princess described, my intuition told me that something seemed to be hidden deep within Lingyu Mountain.

However, as I said before, this is Lingyu Mountain territory, and as outsiders, we shouldn't delve into it.

Ji Fengya's calculations were very accurate. He walked for a short while and soon came out of the path. As soon as he came out, he saw Sang Yinhe walking towards him.

Upon seeing us, Sang Yinhe paused, her expression momentarily blank, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Lan Yin, how did you get out of that alley? Did you get lost?" she asked as she walked up to us.

I could only nod and reply, "We did get lost. After drawing our lots, my friends and I thought we'd wander around a bit, but we ended up getting lost. Luckily, my friend has a good sense of direction, and after wandering around for a while, we found our way out."

After listening to my words, Sang Yinhe nodded and said, "Lingyu Mountain is very large, and people often get lost when they reach a fork in the road. Fortunately, you have made it out."

"Are you alright?" she asked after a moment's hesitation.

Her words stirred something within me. I was just lost; nothing serious would happen unless there were unpredictable factors deep within the desolate Lingyu Mountain.

I didn't mention the scent the little princess had smelled, but simply shook my head gently. "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired from walking. If there's nothing else, let's go back and rest."

Hearing this, Sang Yinhe nodded, "Okay, get some rest."

After saying goodbye, I saw Sang Yinhe walk in the direction we had gone before.

Upon seeing us, Sheng Weilan and the man beside her walked towards us.

Sheng Weilan said, "Lan Yin, where have you been? We've been waiting for you here for two hours."

I raised an eyebrow and glanced at the man beside her. He was about the same age as Sheng Weilan, and quite good-looking, with upright features and a righteous aura.

I smiled faintly and asked, "Did you come to see me for something?"

Sheng Weilan's lips curved upwards slightly as she said, "Then I'll be frank. I admire you and want to be your friend. This is my childhood friend, Shen Jinian. We're all curious about you, so we came to find you together."

I walked over and opened the courtyard gate. "Come in and talk."

Now only our group lives in this courtyard, so there's nothing we can't go in.

The group sat down on chairs in the courtyard. Shen Jinian sat very upright, like a stone statue, looking very serious, as if he were there to interrogate someone.

Seeing his expression, Sheng Weilan shook her head helplessly and said to me, "He's always had this serious look since he was born. Just ignore him. He's just a little intimidating, but he's actually a nice person."

I smiled and said, "It's okay, he's fine as he is."

Shen Jinian's ears turned slightly red after hearing what we said, but he still sat up straight and looked serious.

I asked Xia Zheng to make some tea before saying, "Miss Sheng said she admires me because I'm Lanting's daughter?"

Sheng Weilan did not deny it. "Actually, I am more curious about you. Your father's deeds are known to everyone in the entire Xuanmen circle. As his only descendant, it is natural for people of the younger generation in the circle to be curious about him."

Sheng Weilan's statement is correct; that is indeed the case.

If I were her, I would also be curious. This is the first time I have shown my face in front of so many people at this Xuanshu Exchange Conference. Apart from Sheng Weilan and Shen Jinian who took the initiative to get to know me, I don't know how many people are secretly watching me behind my back.

Thinking of this, I said directly, "Miss Sheng is very open-minded, but I'm also curious, are you more curious about the Hundred Ghosts Record or about me?"

I brought up the Hundred Ghosts Record myself. Since Liu Hui came to me in the first place because of the Hundred Ghosts Record, it shouldn't be a secret in the Xuanmen circle that my father possesses it.

When the Hundred Ghosts Record was mentioned, Sheng Weilan and Shen Jinian both paused slightly. After exchanging a glance, they waved their hands in unison.

Sheng Weilan immediately said, "Lan Yin, don't misunderstand. We were just curious about you. As for the Hundred Ghosts Record, we had only heard about it from our elders. Moreover, we have never had any designs on the Hundred Ghosts Record. Please don't misunderstand."

Seeing Sheng Weilan's anxious expression, I simply smiled faintly. "I was just asking casually, and besides, the Hundred Ghosts Record disappeared along with my father..."

At this point, I couldn't help but sigh softly. "I'm really curious about what the Hundred Ghosts Record is like. Everyone thinks he left it to me, but I've never even seen it."

At this moment, my face was full of sorrow, and I sighed softly from time to time.

Just then, Yun Fu, whom I had sent out to scout ahead, returned. He appeared right beside me in a flash, accompanied by a gust of cold wind.

I pointed to Yun Fu beside me and said to them, "This is the treasure my father left me."

I'm only half telling the truth. With Yun Fu's status as the Corpse King of Qing, he should be about as good as the Hundred Ghosts Record, right?

Yun Fu's gaze fell on Sheng Weilan and Shen Jinian. She had met Yun Fu when she first met Sheng Weilan, but I did not reveal Yun Fu's identity at that time.

In fact, Yun Fu now looks very much like a living human.

Unless he actively releases his own corpse energy, it will be difficult for people to discover his true identity.

As for whether Sheng Weilan and Shen Jinian could see through Yun Fu's true identity, that depends on their actual abilities.

Yun Fu crossed her arms and looked at Sheng Weilan and the other person with an evil smile.

"Master, I can..."

Before he could finish speaking, I interrupted him.

"No, stay quietly to the side."

Yun Fu snorted and didn't say anything more. He stood quietly behind me, but the way he looked at Sheng Weilan and the other person was even more greedy than the way he looked at Xia Zheng.

This was almost the first time I had ever seen Yun Fu with such a greedy and gluttonous expression.

He likes pure souls, which means that Sheng Weilan and Shen Jinian both have very pure souls and also carry the spiritual power of Xuanmen people, so he is so craving them.
