"Stop with the nonsense."
Xu Shu ended the communication.
At this mont, Hong Yan finally managed to catch her breath.
"Xu Shu? It’s you again... Ugh, you saved again..."
She grabbed a piece of clothing to cover herself, her eyes brimming with tears as she stumbled to stand, instinctively moving to hug Xu Shu.
While speaking, she glanced nervously at Xiao Ya’s sheep, who was staring blankly at her, seemingly still shaken from the earlier capture.
However, after hesitating for a mont, she decided to hug her left shoulder instead, her face slightly flushed as she lowered her head and spoke with a sigh:
"Whew! I ca to track down the Annihilation Association, and while I didn’t find much, I unexpectedly encountered a ’Red Archbishop.’ I suspect this might be Yu Mingluan from the Annihilation Association. You might not know, there’s a rumor saying Yu Mingluan, that ruthless monster, is actually the ’Red Archbishop’!"
"..."
Xu Shu opened his mouth but suddenly didn’t know how to respond.
The news about Old Yu being the ’Red Archbishop’ was out? Damn, was it Voodoo? What a bastard!
Hong Yan held onto the edge of her clothing to cover her shoulder and bit her lip, hesitating before speaking: "Sigh, my abilities are still too weak. Luckily, I ran into you again; otherwise, I might have been in serious trouble. Brother Xu, I... I... I don’t know how to repay you~"
"Hey... we’re good friends, it’s just a small thing," Xu Shu waved his hand.
"But I..."
"No need to say more!" It wasn’t the right mont to delve into this topic. Xu Shu checked the ti and hurriedly said, "Let’s discuss later; the important thing is now. Are these sheep yours?"
"I think so," Hong Yan nodded.
"Alright, take them away later, but don’t rush. Start at the ancestral hall archway to the west; rember the distance. In 48 minutes, don’t exceed one kiloter. Once 48 minutes are up, run as fast and far as you can," Xu Shu estimated the ti in his head.
Hong Yan’s mouth slightly opened, looking puzzled, "Huh? Why?"
"Don’t ask so many questions, just do as I say. You’re used to running away," Xu Shu said.
"Oh, okay..." Hong Yan felt a bit embarrassed being called that, but quickly regained her composure due to her carefree nature, and went to open the sheep pen.
As she was about to leave, she suddenly froze, asking, "What about you? Aren’t you coming with ?"
Xu Shu thought for a mont and patted his chest, "Today’s Judgent Departnt is here to surround Yu Mingluan of the Annihilation Association. They’ve set up a Heavenly Net, and I’m the commander of this mission. No more talking, go quickly."
"Oh, I see. Commander..."
Hong Yan’s eyes showed a noticeable ripple.
Back when they first t, this man before her was just a young talent starting out on the Qingyun List with a promising future.
In just a few months, he had grown to such an extent, competing with older masters, while she couldn’t even see his shadow anymore... Damn, this was a repeat of past events...
A powerful red-robed figure appeared in Hong Yan’s mind, causing her to grit her teeth and herd the sheep to leave.
Suddenly, Xu Shu pulled her back: "Wait a mont. I need you to take sothing for !"
"Hmm?"
Hong Yan looked puzzled as Xu Shu turned away to work on sothing.
In a spot she couldn’t see, Xu Shu took out a piece of white paper, writing and drawing on it.
On the paper was an upside-down "(3.)" shaped concept drawing, with a small black spot "." on the left side of the "3," barely visible like a tiny mole.
After a mont, Xu Shu completed it, made the drawing look old, and handed it to Hong Yan.
"Uh, what’s this?" Hong Yan glanced at it, her confusion deepening.
What is this?
It’s too abstract!
It slls like iron rust, seems very ancient?
"Don’t ask too much. I need you to help take this to your sister, Hong Jun. But, can you keep it a secret for ? Don’t tell her I passed it on, just say you found it around here," Xu Shu said, patting his hands. Thinking for a mont, he had an idea, "No, just say one phrase — ’Everything is destined!’"
"My sister? What’s going on? What do you an?" Hong Yan, both shocked and confused, furrowed her brows.
Xu Shu rolled his eyes, pretending to be mysterious, "Just do it. I’m your lifesaver, do you think I would hurt you? Nevermind, I’ll tell you the truth. Actually, an expert asked to do this, it’s crucial for , even affecting my life and death! I imagine you wouldn’t want your lifesaver to die because of you?"
While speaking, he slightly activated "Heartbreaking Goodbye," appearing extrely pitiful, as if caught in a massive vortex, desperately trying to save himself.
This left Hong Yan shocked and worried, quickly saying, "You... you seem to have encountered sothing?"
"Shh! Can’t say!" Xu Shu [with a tense face, as if facing a great enemy] covered Hong Yan’s mouth, "Can’t say, can’t ask, understand?"
"Mm!" Hong Yan’s eyes darted around, indicating she understood. Only then was she released, her face flushed as she asked, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Xu Shu [with a bitter expression] said, "Life is like chess, both of us are just pawns! Even I’m in this situation, what can you do?"
