Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Casual Promise

In the afterglow of the slanting sun, Bian Yao stood there without moving, and his side face was shining with golden solemnity under the reflection of the residual sun.

"Two lives, how can you repay me?" the girl danced a sword flower in her hand, hid the sword in her hand, and walked towards Bian Yao with a smile.

Bian Yao didn't squeak, but walked straight to the man in black who fell not far away. I thought that with your noble and special status, would you still be rare for me to repay?

He crouched down and took a few closer glances at the face of the man in black, a stranger he didn't know at all. Then he skillfully searched the body of the dead man in black, but found nothing.

"Dead boy, did you hear what I said, and how are you going to repay me?" asked the girl, standing beside her.

Bian Yao got up and sighed, thinking that if he hadn't met the girl, he would have turned into a dead corpse by now. Counting it, her life was indeed saved by her!

"Okay! I owe you my life! If one day you really need help, I can sell my life for you!"

"Twice!" the girl corrected with a serious expression.

"Okay! twice is twice, if I don't die!" Bian Yao casually agreed. In his opinion, there is no shortage of Mengzun by the girl's side, how can there be a day when she needs to use herself.

"Haha~ That's not bad! I remember what you said, dead boy!" The girl's smile looked so innocent that she couldn't imagine that she had just killed someone.

In fact, the girl didn't take Bian Yao's casual promise to heart, she was naughty by nature and was just playing with him.

But who can predict what will happen in the future? This casual promise that was not taken seriously by the two of them, many years later, when the girl recalled, the most emotional thing should be to rejoice.

Bian Yao turned his face to look at the sky in the west, the sunset was very beautiful! Although he had picked up a life, his mood was really difficult to calm down.

"Hey~ It's getting dark! Let's go, I can't live here anymore, I'll take you to a place, and I'll live there in the future." The girl said suddenly.

Bian Yao came back to his senses, walked to the girl with his heart, and walked with her to the imperial city.

Soon after nightfall, the two of them passed through the north gate and entered the imperial city.

There is no "night" in the imperial city, because countless large and small luminous stones almost embellish this largest city in the dream country, as if it were day.

Walking on the wide and bright lively streets, Bian Yao temporarily suppressed some negative emotions, accompanied the happy girl beside him, and felt the strange excitement of the night of the imperial capital.

He had traveled to the cave city at night and experienced the night scene in the city for the first time, and he had also visited Wufeng Town to enjoy its brilliant night appearance; now he was in the imperial city at night, and he felt that he could not find any other words to describe it except for the prosperity or the noise.

Speaking of which, it was the first time for Bian Yao to walk in the imperial city at night, and he felt very fresh! The girl happily led him through the streets and alleys to taste all kinds of snacks.

The Imperial City is divided into three zones, the Outer Ring, the Middle Ring and the Inner Ring. The outer ring accounts for more than half of the city, the middle ring accounts for a small half, and the inner ring accounts for less than 5%.

The two of them wandered around the outer ring area for an hour, and finally came to a stop in front of a large inn. Under the reflection of the luminous stone, on a boulder outside the inn, the handwriting is clearly visible - "Qianshou Inn".

Although the Qianshou Inn is located in the outer ring area, it is close to the central ring, and the area can be regarded as the best, with an endless flow of people nearby, and it is very lively.

"You wait here for a while. The girl admonished Bian Yao, then turned around and walked into the inn.

Bian Yao nodded silently, and there was another burst of amazement in his heart. He remembered that in the book that the old ghost gave him, there was also some introduction to this inn, which was an inn privately opened by the prince of Dream Country, but it was the name of Dream Country.

After a while, the girl rushed out excitedly, followed by a middle-aged man.

"You go with him, and you will live here in the future, and you don't have to pay. I know the people inside. The girl pointed to the man behind her and smiled mysteriously at Bian Yao.

Although Bian Yao was clear about the girl hiding herself, after a little silence, her face still showed gratitude.

"This ...... But ......" he scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

"I'll come back to you tomorrow, don't run around. The girl said a few words, and then turned and hurried away.

"This young friend, please come with me. That girl has a special relationship with this inn, and you can stay in the inn for free, no matter how long!" the middle-aged man had a smile on his face, and his attitude was very gentle.

Bian Yao withdrew his gaze from the girl's distant back, smiled at the man's chin to express his gratitude, and then followed the middle-aged man into the inn.

Unlike the Cloud Visitor Inn in Cave City, the Senju Inn is a nearly square garden, and the area is not very large. Four pavilions dozens of feet high stand in the four corners, and the scenery and layout inside are very ingenious and exquisite, and will not make people feel crowded and cramped.

Bian Yao followed the man into the pavilion in the northeast corner, and he was arranged on the third floor, and the guest room was relatively spacious. Push open the floor-to-ceiling windows and enjoy the scenery outside.

After the middle-aged man left, Bian Yao lay down on the bed and couldn't help but think hard. He suspected that the black-clothed killer he met today was related to the evil cultivator in Light Wind City! But how could his residence be known by those killers? Could it be that the information he registered in the Command Hall was leaked? Because considering that the registration of false information was likely to affect and destroy the future plan, he left the true information according to the old ghost's request.

"What should I do next? I have to say that I have no friendship with the girl, and even had a skirmish, and now I am treated like this by her. Although she is a little unreasonable, she seems to be a good person. Thinking of this, another figure suddenly appeared in Bian Yao's mind.

He whispered. The girl who has been with her for three years is kind and well-behaved, and her voice is soft, which always makes people feel pity. Although it has been nearly a year since they were separated, the girl's face is still clearly reflected in her mind when she lies there quietly and thinks about it.

I don't know how long it took, but Bian Yao thought about it and remembered, and fell asleep in a daze.

――――――

Night, in the western suburbs of the imperial city, in an ordinary house in Fanchuan Town.

A man in a white shirt was sitting quietly on a chair in the room, bowing his head slightly in contemplation. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and an old man with gray hair walked in.

"Old Xu, you're here. The man in the white shirt stood up from his chair.

"Steward Wang, you are in a hurry to call me over, but what is the important news?" the old man nodded at the man and asked with a frown.

The man in the white shirt paced a few steps, and paused before speaking: "It's about that kid, he really didn't die! However, something happened, and the three killers who were squatting there not only did not complete the mission, but one died. ”

"What! Three late-stage dreamwalkers would still miss a deal against an early-stage dreamwalker?" the old man's face turned red suddenly, not knowing whether it was because of annoyance or surprise.

According to the two killers, there was an extra girl in red of unknown origin next to the kid, and the problem arose with her. The girl not only sensed the three people who were ambushed nearby, but also easily killed one of the killers, and her strength was extremely strong!" the man in white said slowly, his face was also a little abnormal.

"Can you see that girl's cultivation realm?"

According to the two men, judging by the girl's voice and appearance, she was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. Because the attention was all on the kid, I didn't see how the girl made a move, only saw her use a sword glowing red. It feels like it's only the realm of early dreaming at most. ”

Seeing that the old man was silent, the man continued: "Later, after being tracked by the two killers, it was found that the kid entered the imperial city with the girl in red. ”

"If you look at it this way, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to report the matter to the 'Law Enforcement Hall'. I wonder what that kid thinks in his heart?" the old man couldn't help frowning.

"No matter what, since the young master's matter has been discovered by him, he can't be allowed to live. The man in the white shirt spoke.

"Then what are you going to do next? Have you reported this to the city lord?" the old man suddenly turned his head and asked.

"I have informed the Lord of the Castle about this with the 'Messenger'. Those killers are not reliable, and I have sent two 'death guards' to keep an eye on the outside of the inn, and as soon as he walks out of the inn, we will know and act as soon as we find an opportunity. ”

The old man pondered for a while, and then said, "At present, it seems that we can only use the family's death guard. The main role of the Raven Guard is to search, and besides, it is only in the realm of the late stage of the Dream Walker, and its combat ability is not strong, so it will not be useful for the time being. Unless they are far from the Imperial City, Night Ravens will be spotted by roaming Imperial City enforcers. As for the unidentified girl, it doesn't seem to have a deep relationship with that kid, so it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

"Facing four dead soldiers with the early dream madness realm at the same time, even if that girl has the ability, it is useless! If you can, plus four crow guards, that kid will definitely die!" The white-shirted man's words were full of confidence.
