Back in Spirit Sound City, surrounded by the sound of countless people's words, filling his ears. However, Ao Fan seemed to have lost consciousness at this moment and became soulful, automatically filtering the sounds in his ears, leaving only the sound of his heartbeat in the entire world.
In no time, he arrived in the inn in the west of the city. Vaguely, he seemed to hear a clear female voice continuously shouting. But as his consciousness was hazy, he was unable to hear anything, and he didn't recover a bit until he closed the door to his room.
Instead of starting his cultivation as usual, he lay down on his **, his eyes were lifeless, but drops of hot water flowed out, slashing down his cheeks and rolling to the ground in a shocking manner.
How long had it been since he had cried like this?
Reminiscing about the illusion he had during his trance in Freezing Mist Town in the past made him unable to stop shedding tears, gloomy. He thought at that time, as long as no longer think about the sad things, will not be sad to shed tears.
However, he was wrong!
If the heart and soul are hurt, if the tears flow out, it is impossible to stop them. He could only silently let the tears dry up until not a single drop or millimetre was visible anymore, before he could slowly recover.
In the next few days, he either stayed in the guest room and dazed, or he took out the red gourd and drank the wine. The wine from the Nine Swords Sect had long been finished by him on the way here, and the red gourd contained the wine that had been exchanged from Spirit Sound City.
Every time he was sad, he had no one to turn to, only wine to accompany him!
Until more than ten days of time flew by, Ao Fan gradually faded away his sadness and replaced it with a layer of blandness. Only he himself knows, sadness can not be wiped away, when not seen, just buried deep in the heart, cut down the road scar.
Walking out of the inn, Ao Fan came to the street, looking at the people. He had been bored for too long and wanted to come out alone to get some air and see the rest of the people walking past him. Otherwise, he would have the feeling that he was the only one in the world, what kind of loneliness would that be?
"Hey, wait." As he was walking, a clear female voice called out to him, while the gazes of many passers-by came sideways.
Ao Fan's brows sank slightly, he did not like the feeling of being noticed. He turned around and looked towards the source of the voice, and was suddenly stunned. The person who spoke out was actually a pure woman he had met twice, named Qing Qing.
The people of Spirit Sound City all seemed to recognise Qing Qing, and after seeing that it was her, they withdrew their gazes to do their own thing. But inevitably, there were some gazes that still lingered on the two of them, and no one was too curious.
Seeing that it was Qing Qing, Ao Fan immediately had a bit of a headache. He knew that the person in front of him was someone from the strongest sect around, Hua Tian Temple, and since he was in the Hua Tian Temple's sphere of influence and had offended the Hua Tian Temple, he would never benefit from being discovered.
He wanted to quickly leave, but he felt locked by a Qi. It was emanating from the woman named Qing Qing, obscure and difficult to understand, clearly much stronger than him. He hadn't thought that this woman, who looked somewhat weak, possessed a powerful strength that was even more terrifying than his.
Qing Qing came to Ao Fan in three or two steps, her bright gem-like eyes staring at him, saying, "I remember you, you were the one who took away the Brahma Candle Incense from me and my ten guardian grandfathers, I will never forget you."
The corner of Ao Fan's mouth **, the rightful owner had come to his door, but he no longer had the Brahma Candle Incense in his hands. He was at the same time a little surprised that the other party had said so explicitly, wasn't he afraid that the news of the treasure would leak out? But after slightly feeling it, he realised that the airflow around the two people was somewhat unusual, isolating the sound of their conversation, and there was absolutely no way for outsiders to eavesdrop.
"Also, the last time I saw you and called out to you for a long time, why did you ignore me." Qingqing, as if she was an innocent child who didn't understand the impermanence of the world at all, asked seriously to Ao Fan.
Ao Fan felt that his head was getting bigger and bigger, the Qing Qing in front of him looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, yet the words spoken made him feel like he was being questioned by a small child, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Why aren't you speaking again." The lower part of Qing Qing's features were still covered with that square of white veil, and her pure eyes flashed with a bright lustre, and finally, her eyebrows wrinkled slightly as she said, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with me if you speak or not. Can you return the Brahma Candle Incense to me, the abbot and the others are all very anxious about this. As long as you return it to me, I guarantee that they won't come after you."
When dealing with an enemy who had robbed something, one should have swords drawn after seeing it, but Qing Qing was advising him. If this kind of situation appeared in other people, Ao Fan would not believe it ten thousand times. But if it came from Qing Qing's mouth, he believed it. Looking into those eyes without the slightest impurity, he seemed to see a simple heart in the other party.
Looking at Qingqing who looked like this, he couldn't bear to deceive, so he said bluntly, "The Brahma Candle Incense is no longer in my hands, it has long since left on its own from me, and now I don't know where this jewel is."
Qingqing blinked her bright eyes and said seriously, "You don't have to lie to me, the Brahma Candle Incense must be in your hands, it's just that you don't want to hand it over. But do you know that any treasure has a unique method of casting, if it is obtained by someone who does not know how to use it, it will be of no use at all, and it is better to hand it over to someone who knows how to use it."
For the first time, Ao Fan felt his head hurting so much, he had just recovered from his lost soul and didn't want to run into this matter, making him feel a little annoyed, not wanting to answer the question, he turned around and walked away.
"Hey, hey." Qing Qing called out a few times, following up and said, "Can you return the Brahma Candle Incense to you and me, there's no use in giving you that jewel. If you feel that handing it over for nothing is a bit of a disadvantage, you can make conditions. I will definitely not push back on anything I can promise."
Ao Fan paused again and faced Qing Qing and said, "The Brahma Candle Incense is really not in my possession."
"I don't believe it." Qing Qing replied bluntly.
Ao Fan let out a deep breath and explained, "I am within your Huatian Temple's sphere of influence, and I don't want to offend you. If the Brahma Candle Incense was really on me, I would definitely give it to you, otherwise I'm afraid I might not be able to leave with it. Therefore, I really don't have the Brahma Candle Incense on me."
Qing Qing nodded her head when she heard this, and just after Ao Fan thought that she really understood, she added, "I know, you must have put the Brahma Candle Incense somewhere else, so that's why you said that you don't have it on you. Then can you go get it and return it to me?"
Ao Fan's head was covered with black lines, and when he saw Qing Qing being like this, he knew that it would be difficult to shrug it off, even if the Brahma Candle Incense really wasn't on his body. Therefore, he coldly lowered his voice and said, "No!"
After saying that, he once again moved to leave. However, Qing Qing likewise chased after him, stopping in front of him, and hurriedly said, "Don't you go, you can mention some conditions in exchange for the Brahma Candle Incense."
Ao Fan paused in his steps and said, "Any conditions?"
Qingqing nodded seriously, her clear eyes were clear and crystalline, saying, "As long as it is something I can do, I will definitely help you."
"Good." Ao Fan nodded and said, "I want to see your true face, I wonder if you can fulfil this condition?"
