Chapter 267 Continue the Journey
In the cave under the desert, Apep swayed his huge body in pain, his scarlet eyes flashing with stubbornness. The creatures in the world inside his body were forced out one by one, and were enveloped by green light.
Buyer came to where Apep was at a very fast speed. Apep was a little confused by the protective suit on his body, but this was not the critical moment to care about these trivial things.
"Buyer, according to the message I just delivered, hurry up...do it."
"In that case, let's sign the contract first. I'm sure you don't want to wait too long."
Buyer calmly took out a piece of golden parchment. The power of the contract on it made Apep, who was enduring pain, twitch his mouth, and he had no choice but to write down his own name.
With the contract established and completed, Buyer began to heal the other party of the forbidden knowledge without any nonsense.
The green power of plants and trees burst out, enveloping Apep's body with the power to purify dirt and wiping out the black mist emanating from his body.
After a day, Apep felt better. The forbidden knowledge in his body was reduced a lot, and his originally irritable mood also subsided a little.
"Apep, the forbidden knowledge in your body has been temporarily suppressed. If you don't want it to relapse, you have to fall into a deep sleep. I will come to treat you regularly until the forbidden knowledge in your body is restrained to a certain degree."
"I know that according to the contract we just signed, I will do it, but you must also fulfill your obligations under the contract and send the creature in my body back for treatment when I am terminally ill."
"I will do this, and even if I fail, my reincarnation will be completed in my place."
"Remember your words, Boyer."
Apep from the old era reached an agreement with Buyer, the incarnation of the world tree of the new era, with a serious expression, slowly closed his eyes and fell into a long sleep.
Looking at the already sleeping Apep, Buyer turned his head to look at the mushroom-like creature at his feet and said:
"It's time to head to where the Layered Rock Spike landed."
……
In the second time and space, on the continent of Teyvat, Liyue, at the gate of Bailin Town.
Ye Li skillfully carried his, Yaoyao's and Grandma Ping's luggage and placed them in the rented carriage. He turned around and looked at Grandma Ping behind him and said:
"Grandma, the luggage is packed. Please ask Yaoyao to come over and take the car. I'll go get a horse and we'll set off in a while."
"Okay, Xiaoli will take care of it first, I'll go call Yaoyao."
Grandma Ping watched Ye Li turn around and walk towards the stable. In a happy mood, she walked towards the city gate and called Yaoyao back from a stall selling candied haws.
"Master, this candied haws is delicious, would you like some?"
"No need, Yaoyao, just save it for the journey. Master, I'm not hungry."
"OK then."
Yaoyao took back the candied haws with a bit of depression, but she adjusted her mentality in a blink of an eye, raised a smile on her lips and said:
"Master, please wait for a moment. I will go buy two more strings of candied haws for Brother Ye Li to eat on the road. After all, driving a horse and a cart is very tiring."
"Go ahead, go ahead. Remember to come back soon. Don't make your brother Ye Li wait anxiously."
"Got it, Master. Yaoyao will be back soon."
Looking at Yaoyao running towards the candied haws stall with her short legs, Ye Li, who had observed this scene from a distance, smiled and led the horse behind him, connecting its rope to the carriage he had rented from a nearby shop.
After tying the rope, Ye Li patted the tall horse in front of him and said in a neutral tone:
"Boy, remember to drive steadily when you are on the road later. If anyone in the car feels uncomfortable, you will be put into the pot."
An inexplicably cold voice reached the horse's ears, and a bead of sweat flowed down. The tall horse, who understood Ye Li's words, nodded nervously, and the ponytail behind it kept swaying, as if to say, "Big brother, you can trust me when I do things."
After making a verbal threat, Ye Li turned around and looked at the two people who walked out of the city gate, waved his hand and said:
"Grandma, Yaoyao is here!"
"Brother Yeli, this is the candied haws that Yaoyao bought for you. Try it, it's very sweet."
Ye Li reached out and took the candied haws from Yao Yao's hand, took a bite and tasted it. After tasting it, he smiled and nodded and said:
"Well, it tastes good, but there's not enough sugar."
"Oh, is there? Yaoyao thinks it's quite sweet."
Facing Yaoyao's somewhat puzzled look, Ye Li smiled and explained:
"Maybe my brother's taste is different from Yaoyao's. This candy is just right for Yaoyao, but not enough for me."
"Oh, so it's the taste that's different. Yaoyao will remember it."
Looking at the happy faces of the adult and the child chatting together, Grandma Ping happily got into the carriage alone, and Ye Li also lifted the curtain of the carriage to let Yaoyao in.
After putting the curtain in place, Ye Li mounted the horse, tapped the rope, and the horse began to run steadily, following the mountain path to the junction of Shimen and Mond, and then detoured to Dihuazhou.
Just when Ye Li was leaving with Yaoyao and Grandma Ping, on the martial arts street in Bailin Town, hundreds of Qianyan soldiers were standing in front of Master Ma's martial arts hall with spears in their hands, and many passers-by were also watching.
"What happened? Why are there so many Thousand Rock Army?"
"What else could it be? In the last martial arts competition, the apprentice of Bao Guo played dirty tricks and seized the position that originally belonged to Qingyang Martial Arts School. Now that the evidence is conclusive, it is natural that the Qianyan Army and the General Affairs Department came to find us."
The crowd of onlookers were chattering about what was happening, but the sound of the door being opened attracted the attention of everyone present.
At this moment, the door of the martial arts hall opened from the inside, and Yu Hengxing Keqing, who was wearing a purple dress and a serious expression, walked out with a girl with a green ponytail, and said seriously:
"Ms. Kuki Shinobu, thank you for your help in this incident. You will be rewarded by the General Affairs Department."
"You're welcome, Miss Keqing. After all, I was able to bring back the evidence smoothly without hurting anyone thanks to the help of others. Otherwise, you would have to take me with you today in addition to taking Ma Baoguo and the others away."
"I understand what you mean. This is indeed very troublesome. With your skills, if you act recklessly, I will take you to the General Affairs Department for questioning. After all, our contract does not contain any provisions for attacking suspects.
But I am quite curious about who the person who helped you is. If you have any characteristics, please tell me so that I can record them and give him the Mora reward when we have the chance to meet him. "
Seeing that Yuhengxing Keqing was so serious, Jiuqi Ren thought for a while and did not keep it a secret, and directly revealed Ye Li's information.
"Miss Keqing, the man who helped me was wearing a blue and white long-sleeved robe, his hair was probably between gray and white, he was very handsome, and he was carrying a large box beside him. According to what I inquired about last night, he should be selling mechanical toys."
"I see. I have learned the details. Do you know his name?"
Seeing Keqing asking this question, Jiuqi Ren said with an embarrassed look on his face:
"I'm sorry, Miss Keqing, I was busy with him at the time, and he didn't tell me the meaning of his name, so I don't know."
"It doesn't matter. It's clear that there are no specific features. Once I investigate, I will know the other party's identity."
On the other side, Ye Li, who was riding his horse towards a stone bridge on the Shimen Bay Road, sneezed inexplicably. He felt like someone was targeting him.
Shaking his head, Ye Li temporarily put aside this idea and looked at the shadows around the road. He stopped his horse and drew out the black sword behind him. He said to Yaoyao and Grandma Ping in the carriage behind him:
"There's a situation outside. Yaoyao and grandma stay inside first. I'll be back after I deal with it."
