The distance from Yunlan Valley to the village at the foot of the mountain is not far, even if you walk slowly, you can reach it in two or three hours.

The scenery along the way is good, full of greenery and gurgling water.

Ye Ran, who was squatting by the stream and washing his face with a handful of water, sighed softly, and asked Xiao Jianning behind him, "Are you really here?"

On the secluded forest path, except for Ye Ran and Xiao Jianning, there was no trace of anyone else.

Ye Ran really couldn't figure out how Xiao Jianning persuaded those Xuanjia soldiers not to come with him.

But there is not much curiosity, after all, Xiao Jianning is a princess after all, and she is a strong person in the Jindan period, and those Xuanjia soldiers are not to the point of tearing their faces with her, although it is not simple to get rid of those people temporarily, it is not without room.

Xiao Jianning snorted coldly, and said quietly: "Senior sister is at ease with you, but I will never rest assured, so I naturally have to keep an eye on you!"

Ye Ran smiled helplessly, and said slowly: "I see, are you thinking about whether you can really pin your senior sister's safety on me before leaving?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jianning's face immediately showed a moment of panic, and it was just like being poked by someone carefully.

But he still had to retort stiffly: "Hmph, with your strength, I will rest assured that I will entrust the safety of my senior sister to you, don't you think it's extremely ridiculous?"

The Xuanzhu is too against the sky, so the level of the realm is irrelevant, right?

"Okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you about this. Ye Ran couldn't help rolling his eyes, and as soon as his voice changed, he asked, "When will you leave?"

Xiao Jianning pursed his lips, and said quietly: "After that guy comes to teach you a lesson, I will be taken back with me......"

Ye Ran heard the 'guy' in her mouth at once, and couldn't help but smile helplessly, and said slowly: "Then Uncle Jianning, when will your cautious fiancé arrive?"

I saw Xiao Jianning pursed his lips, and said angrily: "It won't be more than five days at the latest, are you afraid?"

Ye Ran rolled his eyes directly, thinking in his heart that he was also the head of a faction, even if the guy named Long Ji came, he didn't dare to really do anything to himself.

Besides, Yunlan Valley still has a master of the Yuan Shen Stage like Su Quan, okay, and the worldly people don't dare to come to the immortal cultivation sect like Yunlan Valley.

I don't know if I just need to show a frightened look, this girl can be happy and can't keep her mouth shut......

Ye Ran scolded in his heart, naturally it was impossible for such a girl to see his jokes, so he directly put on a casual appearance and continued to walk towards the village at the foot of the mountain.

There was nothing else to say along the way, after all, although the scenery of such a mountain range as Yunlan Valley was beautiful, it really didn't have much aura to speak of, and it was not enough to say that if you just walked some mountain roads, you had to jump out of the plot of some fierce beast attacks on the way.

I'm afraid that there may not really be any fierce beasts in the entire mountain range that can be put in the eyes of the monks......

The village at the foot of Yunlan Valley Mountain as a whole does not have a simple meaning, but faintly reveals a meaning that can be comparable to the town, if you add a city wall or something, this place is called Xiaqiao Village, you want to say what it is Xiaqiao City is not an exaggeration.

The two sides of the road are not simple wooden houses, but some stone and brick houses, although they are not towering, but they are also very dignified.

Such a scene is very rare in this world, and it all owes to the builder in the village, a middle-aged uncle named Mo Xuehai.

It is also the person Ye Ran mainly wants to hire on this trip, I heard that he was a famous architect in a certain kingdom before, and he also designed for the imperial city, but then that kingdom fell, so he fled to this kind of wilderness and seclusion.

Not long after the establishment of Yunlan Valley, the whole showed an atmospheric and dignified appearance, but it was all thanks to this Mo Xuehai.

"When did this village become so deserted?"

Stepping on the bluestone slab of the street, Xiao Jianning looked at the closed houses and empty streets around her in a daze, and couldn't help but ask such a sentence in a daze, only to feel that the deserted village in front of her was really a little different from the appearance in her memory.

Ye Ran just smiled helplessly, but he was already prepared in his heart.

Isn't this nonsense, the people of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain poured out of their nests and surrounded Yunlan Valley, so what good fate can the villages around Yunlan Valley have?

In the eyes of the vast majority of monks, mortals in the secular world are not much different from ordinary animals.

Not to mention how the notorious Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain would treat those civilians......

At this time, Ye Ran could only pray in his heart that the people here could abide by the persistence they had always had, and once they noticed that a large number of monks and armies appeared, they would be able to hide at home honestly like bandits and bandits entering the village, and then come back after they parted.

If a monk sect like Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain comes, as long as people hide at home and don't come out, it doesn't necessarily have to be to the point where everyone is pulled out, just like someone is bored and wants to play with ants, but after the ants hide back in their nests, there is not necessarily anyone who still wants to tear down other people's nests.

Relatively speaking, when the kingdom's army or bandits or something comes, they have to hide more hidden.

But in any case, once outsiders come, it is inevitable that someone will die because of it......

I think that when Fang Qiang brought Ye Ran and the others here, he thought that he had arrived in some empty city, and in the end, it took a lot of effort to gain the trust of the surrounding villages.

After all, Fang Qiang's acceptance of the villagers from the surrounding villages as the outer disciples of Yunlan Valley was also something to be excited about for these residents.

I don't know if people feel that there are people around them who have invested in the fairy gate, and their own lives have been guaranteed, and they are no longer as helpless as duckweed.

It's a pity that everything is not as people expected......

And after Xiao Jianning saw that he was asking, Ye Ran directly rolled his eyes, and immediately became angry, and puffed up his mouth and said: "What kind of expression do you have? Am I still wrong? I clearly remember that when I arrived with the people and horses, I expelled those bastards from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain for the people here, and there were still a lot of people here at that time." ”

Hearing this, Ye Ran was stunned for a moment, and seemed to notice a hint of something strange in an instant, and hurriedly asked, "Did anyone recognize you at that time?"

Seeing Xiao Jianning roll his eyes directly, he said angrily: "Isn't this nonsense, could it be that I don't have common sense, I don't know that most people don't trust outsiders, of course I revealed my identity as soon as possible!"

That's not right!

The inner disciples of Yunlan Valley, the people of the surrounding villages all knew each other, but they directly regarded the disciples in the nearby immortal sect as their own support.

If the villagers of Xiaqiao Village confirmed that it was Xiao Jianning who brought people and horses back to help, then they would definitely feel that it was Yunlan Valley that was powerful, and they would not have to be afraid of those monks of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Moreover, it was not difficult for Ye Ran to think that Xiao Jianning must have taken those Xuanjia troops to come and disrupt everyone's life in front of those people.

In this way, the people of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain were killed and retreated, and the villagers of Xiaqiao Village should feel that everything was calm.

Even if it won't be lively to the peak of the period, it won't be so deserted that there is no one like this!

So, Ye Ran was stunned and looked at a few tumbleweeds floating not far away, and asked, "Yes, what about that person?"

In exchange, it was naturally Xiao Jianning's white eyes.

Just when Ye Ran looked around blankly, thinking about whether to tentatively knock on some closed doors nearby, he saw Xiao Jianning slowly take out a small box from his pocket.

When the box was opened, I saw a gossip compass engraved with various directions.

Seeing the dense small characters, Ye Ran was not interested in taking a second look at it at all.

But Xiao Jianning ignored Ye Ran on the side, and gestured a sword finger to himself, muttering while shaking on the compass.

With the shaking of the pointer on the compass, Xiao Jianning frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It's not good!"

After saying that, after closing the compass, he pulled his legs and was about to gallop away.

Seeing that Ye Ran was stunned, he could only hurriedly follow, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
