Chapter Twelve
Lin Ruo Lan gazed at the horizon where Xuan He had disappeared, sniffling... She knew that Qing Wei Zi was a petty old man, they had already agreed to let Xuan He send her to the outskirts of the capital.
Damn it!
What the...? You're kidding me!
This place is surrounded by endless mountains and forests, not to mention the city gates of Beijing; there isn't even a village nearby, let alone Beijing. It's clearly in the middle of nowhere.
Lin Ruo-lan muttered indignantly: "You stinky crane, you'd better not fall into my hands; otherwise, I'll pluck all your crane feathers and turn you into a bald-bottomed crane."
After venting, this road still has to be walked out by one's own two legs. Although she doesn't worry about wild beasts or anything, Lin Yueran expressed that she really had no interest in sleeping outdoors in the wilderness.
"The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, where the sun rises is the east; where the sun sets is the west. Qing Wei Zi Lao Dao said that the capital city is on the eastern side."
Lin Ruo Lan muttered to herself as she looked up at the sky: "Hmmm... The sun is about to set, so if I just head in the opposite direction, I should be able to reach the capital, right?"
Lin Ruo Lan chose the direction she thought was correct with her common sense, gritted her teeth and started her first long journey after crossing over.
However, she obviously overestimated her current ability and the quality of this body. As the sky gradually darkened, Lin Ruo Lan walked back and forth on the same small road n times; She had to accept a terrible fact - that is, Lin Ruo Lan found herself lost.
It's really a case of when it rains, it pours; when one is unlucky, even drinking water can get stuck in the teeth!
Lin Ruo Lan was also a stubborn and strong-willed person, but this time she seemed to have an air of becoming more courageous in the face of setbacks.
"Hmph... Today, I'll show you that I'm not afraid; I don't believe it either. Walking in one direction will just make me go around in circles." Lin Ruolan gritted her teeth and randomly chose a direction to head in, with an air of "I've had enough".
She didn't say, but she really did stumble upon the right thing; just as Lin Ruolan's two legs were like lead and couldn't move forward, she saw a fire in front of her.
In a situation where one can't see their own hand, there is actually a glimmer of light; this only has one possibility - someone! Everyone knows that where there's fire, there are people, isn't that common sense?
At this moment, Lin Ruo Lan's spirit was shaken, and the fatigue on her body seemed to have become negligible; the originally bumpy and rugged small road covered with weeds and thorns also became easier to walk on, and the original tortoise-like speed that could be seen by the naked eye was accelerating forward.
As the firelight drew nearer, one hundred meters... fifty meters... twenty meters... Lin Ruolan finally saw clearly that the so-called firelight was actually a bonfire; beside the bonfire, there was also a faint figure.
"Who is it?"
It was probably because Lin Ruolan's footsteps were too loud, the figure beside the fire suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly in the direction of Lin Ruolan's approach.
Lin Ruo Lan, who was almost at the edge of the bonfire, was stunned. What did she see? Hmm... it shouldn't be because she was too tired and had an illusion, right?
Damn it!
He unexpectedly saw a healing-type handsome young man in this desolate wilderness, and Lin Ruolan seemed to feel that there was a suspicious trail of water flowing down from the corner of her mouth.
Standing by the bonfire was a fifteen or sixteen year old boy, and under the firelight Lin Ruo Lan could see him clearly; his eyebrows, eyes, facial features, skin... all combined to form a handsome and irrational healing-type young man.
Lin Ruo Lan was sizing up her opponent, and the young man was also sizing her up; unfortunately, after a day of 'muddling through' in the mountains, Lin Ruo Lan now looked no different from a little beggar, even her pretty face was dirty and couldn't be shown to people.
Lin Ruo Lan swallowed her saliva, she stared at the shining sword in the young man's hand; uh...... sorry, it was still her first time being pointed at with a sword; this kind of thing really made her very uncomfortable.
"Big brother, can you put away the precious sword in your hand first?" Lin Ruolan said dryly.
What a joke? Swords and knives are eyeless, what if the other party accidentally slips their hand? Whether it's being accidentally injured by the other party or accidentally drawing flowers on her face; neither of these is what she wants to see.
Finally, Lin Ruolan spent a lot of effort to prove to the other party that she was not a bad person, nor was she a demon or anything like that. Only then could she sit down by the bonfire and rest her feet for a while.
Lin Ruo Lan pouted, sighing... If only she could enter her space and soak in the Spiritual Spring at this moment, thinking of her own space and the Spiritual Spring.
Poor Lin Ruolan finally realized something too late, damn it? All her efforts today were in vain. What's wrong with herself being so stupid?
The dull Lin Ruolan finally discovered something, something she had neglected for a long time; you see, she was actually the gatekeeper's disciple of the Qingwei Sect from Yunju Mountain, so these spells and whatnot were just child's play; and then there was that special ability that had followed her for two lifetimes, with all this, how could she still get lost?
Cough... What's even more disgusting is that she actually stupidly walked on her two legs for an entire afternoon.
Damn it!
Damn it!
Is there anyone more foolish than her in this world?
Under the illumination of the flames, Lin Ruolan's face was twisted in a terrifying expression; wu wu...... wasn't it just transmigration? How could she have even lost her mind?
After feeling regretful, Lin Ruolan thought that since things had already happened, there was no use in dwelling on them; so she simply stopped thinking about those unnecessary things and instead curiously looked at the healing-type handsome young man not far from her side.
Wow... this is indeed a feast for the eyes!
Lin Ruo Lan couldn't help but click her tongue in surprise, while secretly curling her lip; seeing the other person's expressionless face, she couldn't help but mock him silently; Alas... are all healing-type beautiful boys this cold and detached?
"Big brother, I'm Lin Ruolan. Thank you for taking me in tonight." Lin Ruolan said with a curved smile.
If the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. Lin Ruo Lan has always been like that; when it comes to things she's interested in, she is absolutely patient.
Lin Ruo Lan was talking non-stop by herself, her mouth had gone dry, while the other side remained silent for half a day; with an expression of cold arrogance, indeed worthy of being a healing type; one word - aloof!
Uh…… Lin Ruolan gave a dry smile, okay! She really didn't expect the other person to not give her any face at all, with an embarrassed and resentful expression she rubbed her own nose; she finally closed her mouth and went to draw circles in a corner.
"Hmph... I'll curse you with a circle!"
On the cloudy peak!
Qing Wei Zi stood with his hands behind him at the edge of the lotus pond, where the calm and clear water surface was reflecting a picture; if Lin Ruo Lan were here now, she would certainly jump in surprise; the picture in the water was actually Lin Ruo Lan's experience after being thrown down by Xuan He.
What?
So all of this was actually the old Daoist Qing Weizi's plan?
The screen froze at the moment when Lin Ruolan met the healing-type handsome young man, Qing Weizi stretched out one hand to wipe the surface of the water with his sleeve; after a ripple, the screen had already disappeared without a trace.
A bright moon is hanging high in the sky, and not far from it are two comets that were originally not very bright, but suddenly shone with a dazzling light that was a bit piercing to the eyes.
