EBE Chapter 402 Why do you have to stay alone?
Chapter 402 Why do you have to stay alone?
Jiang Liqian said "hmm" and immediately cast a spell to release a paper crane to notify Xu Youan and the others to come over.
But her expression hinted at another layer of consideration, but because Shui Lian'er was here, she didn't reveal it immediately.
Soon Xu Youan and the others came over, and a silent ban spread out instantly.
"Did they really say that?" Qin Beiyao's voice was filled with nervousness, and his eyes kept looking at Shui Lian'er, fearing that she had been frightened.
Shui Lian'er's face turned red when he looked at her, and she quickly covered his eyes with her hands to stop him from staring at her.
Xu Youan looked at Jiang Liqian and asked, "Senior Sister, are we leaving the city now?"
Jiang Liqian shook her head, then nodded. "That's exactly what they said, but... to ensure everyone's safety, it's best to follow their instructions and leave the city immediately. But it's not us, it's you."
Xu Youan seemed to have known she would say that, and his face immediately turned gloomy, but in order to avoid being discovered by Jiang Liqian, he immediately turned his head and turned his eyes away.
"Senior Sister, what you mean...is that we leave and you stay?" he asked softly.
Jiang Liqian didn't realize what was wrong at first, so she nodded and said naturally: "Yes.
"I've always felt like there's something wrong with Changle City. While it's true that our sect doesn't care about the outside world's affairs, if it's a demonic entity causing trouble here, we have no choice but to take responsibility."
His eyes grew darker and darker, but Xu Youan's voice was filled with a dry laugh.
He suddenly raised his head and stared into Jiang Liqian's eyes, his pupils as dark as ink, as if all the stars had extinguished. "Senior Sister, since it's 'our duty', then tell me, why do you have to stay here alone?"
Only then did Jiang Liqian realize that Xu Youan was in a bad mood.
"Junior brother, I..."
"Yeah, why should we leave?" Shui Lian'er disagreed, glaring at Jiang Liqian in dissatisfaction. "We're going down the mountain together, so we should face danger together, right?"
After saying that, he didn't forget to pull Qin Beiyao and the others in: "Beiyao, am I right? Shitou, Su Yanqing, what do you think?"
Su Yanqing didn't think it mattered. He didn't think that with Jiang Liqian's strength, she would put herself in an irreversible situation. If she really couldn't handle it, she would definitely send a message for them to help.
But under the "pressure" of the eldest lady's eyes, he didn't dare to say what he really thought in his heart, and nodded tactfully.
Not to mention Qin Beiyao, even if Shui Lian'er hadn't stood up, he would have stood up too. No matter whether they were fellow disciples of Tiangan Sect or friends, he would never let Jiang Liqian take risks here alone, but he hoped that Lian'er would leave first and take shelter outside the city.
But before he could express his thoughts, Shui Lian'er stopped him with a glance.
"Wherever Li Qian is, I'll be there. No one can persuade me!"
For the first time, Shitou's clear eyes revealed a slightly complex expression. He moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out for a long time.
Everyone agreed that he agreed with Shui Lian'er's words.
Jiang Liqian is not arrogant and thinks she is a savior hero. She said this because she has her own considerations.
First and foremost, she didn't want Shui Lian'er to encounter any accidents. She was the only one among them who was insensitive to danger and knew very little about the outside world. She might be in danger before anyone else.
The second is a habit that is deeply rooted in her subconscious and difficult to get rid of in a short time - she has become accustomed to being everyone's backup, the first to take danger and responsibility on herself to ensure the safety of others.
In the past, no one would object to her decisions, nor would anyone worry about her situation. This was the first time that everyone was against her...
To be honest, Jiang Liqian was really surprised, and even felt that they were being unreasonable and did not understand her good intentions.
But she soon felt a little sore in her eyes, and something that had been weighing on her body seemed to be relieved a lot, at least at this moment.
She also has companions to travel with instead of heavy responsibilities.
"Alright," she stood up, making a decision. "We'll all stay here and investigate what's going on here. If it's a demonic act, we'll enforce justice. If it's simply a power struggle within the city, we'll leave it alone and leave as soon as the teleportation array is ready."
"Okay!" Shui Lian'er was the first to agree.
No one else had an opinion either.
Only Xu Youan still had a very grim expression. He proposed that he would stay outside her door day and night to protect her safety.
After hearing what he said, Qin Beiyao also made a request to stand guard at her door and protect Shui Lian'er.
Jiang Liqian couldn't convince them, so she just let them do what they wanted.
"Let's make a plan," she said bluntly.
Su Yanqing suggested: "Since those two people know the problem here, why not call them over and ask for help directly, and let them tell us everything they know. This way we can save a lot of unnecessary detours."
Qin Beiyao thought it was feasible, and Shui Lian'er also felt that Sister Fang was easy to talk to.
Shitou remained silent as usual, and everyone assumed that he agreed to this plan.
Xu Youan is still angry and doesn't want to express any opinion at all.
Jiang Liqian glanced at Xu Youan, whose face was as cold as ice, and felt distressed. She didn't know how to coax him so that he wouldn't be angry.
Oh, what happened? Why is the junior brother getting angry at her more and more easily?
In the past he was... in the past?
Jiang Liqian was confused for a moment.
Where does the once upon a time come from?
Jiang Liqian's plan was to explore the City Lord's Mansion at night. The rules of Changle City were so strange, it must be related to the owner of this place, but there was nothing wrong in seeking cooperation with Li Chuanlu and Fang Wanning first.
Unanimous approval
Shui Lian'er volunteered to go and call Sister Fang and Li Chuanlu. Qin Beiyao was worried and followed her.
Soon, eight people sat down around a round table.
"What? Are you guys here to cause trouble?" Li Chuanlu was the first to stand up, his face livid as he looked at Jiang Liqian and the others. "Do you think this is just a game? You know, several of our sect's disciples are missing here, and several have even lost their soul lamps..."
"Senior brother, don't talk like that. They just want to help together." Fang Wan Ning quickly pulled Li Chuanlu's sleeve and pulled him to sit down again.
Then he smiled apologetically at them and said, "I'm sorry, my senior brother just doesn't want you to be in danger. He actually has a good heart."
Jiang Liqian and the others certainly understood them.
But then again, since they have clearly stated that they want to help, there is no need for everyone to hide it. After all, there is strength in numbers.
"This story started five years ago."
