Chapter 042: Departure
After this incident, Los Angeles was no longer as prosperous as before, and the appearance of "soul devourers" made people in the rivers and lakes fearful, and no one could guarantee that they would not appear in Los Angeles again. Therefore, when entering this small city, they will think twice, and some people even avoid it when it comes to "Los Angeles", and now "Los Angeles" has really become a "ghost town".
Faced with this situation, Qing Ming and the others were helpless.
After this battle, Cheng Hao, Lan You, and Liu Ziran were the first to leave Los Angeles and return to Jianyumen to report the results of the trip. As far as the current situation is concerned, compared with the appearance of the "Spirit Devourer", the identity of the Qing Ming as the "King of Hades" is not so important.
The appearance of "Spirit Devourer" is a huge disaster for the entire Jianghu, and I believe that it will not be long before this matter spreads throughout the entire Shengyuan Empire.
On the Baqiao on the outskirts of Los Angeles, three miles away, a group of people were saying goodbye to each other, and these people were Song Xuan from Yuxuan Pavilion, Duan Humble Yan, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird. On the opposite side of them are Qing Ming and Han Piao and others, Han Piao had already woken up the day after the "Spirit Eater" disappeared, so he didn't know anything about the "Spirit Eater" ravaging Los Angeles and Qing Ming and the others escaping death. When she asked Qing Ming what happened, Qing Ming only answered her vaguely, what she said didn't matter, Han Piao still believed it after hearing it, so she didn't continue to ask.
"Qing Ming, do you want to go to the Central Plains with me?" Song Xuan, who was opposite Qing Ming, looked at him with a smile on his face and said.
A smile also appeared on Qing Ming's face, after going through a desperate situation with Song Xuan in Los Angeles and finally regaining his life, Qing Ming had long regarded Song Xuan as a friend in his heart. If it weren't for the help of Song Xuan and his party, whether he could survive or not was really another matter.
"I still have some things to do, and I will definitely go to the Central Plains to find you when I finish it!" Qing Ming smiled slightly and did not postpone.
"Then it's decided, I will always wait for you, if you can enter our Yuxuan Pavilion, it will be even better, hahaha......" Song Xuan patted Qing Ming's shoulder, then turned his head to look at Duan Shuyan, Bai Hu and Song Xuan beside him and said, "Duan Lao, Uncle Bai, Aunt Zhu, what do you think?"
Duanqi stroked his long beard, looked Qing Ming up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and a meaningful expression appeared on his face: "That's natural, if you can enter our Yuxuan Pavilion, it will be tantamount to a big boost for us!"
"That's true, I'm really looking forward to seeing you!" said Bai Hu, who also looked at Qing Ming.
Suzaku on the side didn't say anything, but from the eyes she revealed, it could be seen that she definitely agreed with the views of Duan Humble Yan and the others, and also hoped that Qing Ming could enter Yuxuan Pavilion.
"Thank you seniors for your uplift!" Qing Ming bowed his hand respectfully to them, "If nothing else, just as far as your life-saving grace is concerned, if the time comes, I will definitely go to Yuxuan Pavilion!"
"Okay, Qing Ming, I'm waiting for your news in Yuxuan Pavilion!" Song Xuan patted Qing Ming on the shoulder again, then stepped on the horse, looked at Qing Ming and Han Piao and the others with a smile and said, "You will have a period later!"
Immediately rode away, Duan Shuyan, White Tiger and Vermilion Bird and other three people also said goodbye to Qing Ming, quickly followed Song Xuan, and the four of them disappeared at the end of the ancient road.
Qing Ming looked at their disappearing backs, turned to look at Han Piao next to him and said, "Second Miss, what are your plans?"
Han Piao's beautiful eyes stared at Qing Ming for a moment, and then he looked at the smiling hands behind his back, stretched his neck playfully and said, "What do you say?"
Qing Ming was stunned for a moment, watching Han Piao in front of him return to his previous personality, a hanging heart finally let go, he originally thought that after Han Piao went through so many things, his heart was strongly impacted, resulting in depression for several days, but now it seems that she is fine.
However, seeing Han Piao's quirky expression, Qing Ming sighed in her heart, should she still want to follow me?
Han Piao, who was on the other side, saw the change in Qing Ming's face, and laughed a few times again.
"It scared you, and your face changed. Don't worry, I won't hold you back any longer, so I will go back to Xishu to find my sister and Han Lao!"
Qing Ming didn't expect Han Piao to say such a sentence, and his expression couldn't help but be stunned again.
"Second Miss?"
"After so many things, I also understand the importance of my own strength, and in the past few days, I have found that there must have been some changes in me, and I want to figure out what such a change is!"
"Could it be related to the 'Soul Eater', every time the 'Spirit Eater' appears, you will fall into a coma!" Qing Ming remembered Han Piao's behavior in the past few days, and couldn't help but ask.
Han Piao was also at a loss: "I don't know! maybe, as for what the reason is, I can't say it myself!"
Han Piao's words were really not Qing Ming's expectations, she didn't understand it herself, maybe there was some secret hidden in her body. She had to find her own answer, of course, and rightfully so.
"Qing Ming!"
Hearing Han Piao calling her name, Qing Ming raised her head to look at Han Piao, only to see a slight smile on her face, and her cheeks were slightly red.
"What's wrong?" Qing Ming looked at Han Piao in confusion.
"Thank you so much this time! If you hadn't risked your life to come, I would have ...... a long time ago."
Before Han Piao finished speaking, the cheeks on his face became even more translucent, like a touch of red glow in the sky.
"Ahem...... Qing Ming saw Han Piao showing such a little woman's appearance, and she couldn't get used to it, so she hurriedly said jokingly: "Do you want to say that you want to repay me with a personal promise?"
Hearing Qing Ming's sudden words, Han Piao was also taken aback, and hurriedly raised his head to look at Qing Ming on the other side, and Qing Ming saw that her face was even redder than before.
"You... You want to take advantage of Miss Ben again!" After finishing speaking, one hand was about to hit Qing Ming, and Qing Ming quickly grabbed her wrist, and the banter on his face was overflowing.
"This is the real you!"
After Han Piao heard Qing Ming's words, a smile also appeared on his face, and the previous awkward atmosphere quietly disappeared.
Retracting his hand, Han Piao turned around and left, just took a few steps, turned his head and glanced at Qing Ming, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Qing Ming, next time we meet again, I will definitely not ask you to retreat!"
"Then I'm looking forward to your change the next time we meet!"
Qing Ming looked at Han Piao and smiled, Han Piao snorted, walked towards another fork in the road without looking back, and the five Han family guards behind him thanked Qing Ming and hurriedly followed Han Piao's pace.
After a while, a few people disappeared from Qing Ming's field of vision.
Qing Ming stayed on the bridge for a long time and never left, in just a few days together, he got to know many partners, and shared their weal and woe, through life and death, this experience was deeply imprinted in Qing Ming's heart, so that in the years to come, Qing Ming every time he thought about it, he felt a lot of emotion.
He was glad he had made a group of friends.
