Chapter 1954 Letter from Yunbei
Seeing how much Qian Dingxing cared about that black umbrella, Sheng Xiaohan's eyes reddened slightly; she really couldn't understand it.
“Brother Xing, you just found this umbrella not long ago, why are you so concerned about it? You never wanted to leave the Ghost Market before. I invited you out to play so many times, but you refused me time and time again. Now, for this umbrella, you're willing to come out.”
This time, if it weren't for the black umbrella, she suspected that Qian Dingxing would still refuse her. She had already thought it through on the way to the ghost market. If Qian Dingxing was unwilling to come, she would have to honestly bring up Lu Zhaoling and tell him that Lu Zhaoling had something important to do.
But she didn't expect that after she went to the Ghost Market and said just a few words, Qian Dingxing agreed and said he would come to the capital with her.
She was unaware of this at first, but when they arrived at Huaiyuan and met Sect Leader Yin, she learned that the black umbrella he had treasured all along was actually hiding a female ghost inside!
Yes, there is a female ghost under the umbrella.
When Sheng Xiaohan thought about how Qian Dingxing had been holding the black umbrella in his arms the whole way, she felt like he had been carrying that female ghost with him the whole time.
"Xiaohan, I've told you so many times, I'm much older than you, it's not appropriate for you to call me brother, you can call me uncle." Qian Dingxing shook his head helplessly as he looked at Sheng Xiaohan's aggrieved expression.
"How do you look like you're much older than me?" Sheng Xiaohan snorted. "Anyway, you can't be my uncle, so I'll just call you brother."
Perhaps they had argued about this issue many times before, and Qian Dingxing had no choice but to ignore her for the time being.
He looked at Lu Zhaoling and said, “We just went to Huaiyuan Garden and your master saw me. I originally wanted to ask him for help, but she didn’t want to see any men and refused to come out. Even Sect Leader Yin couldn’t do anything about it.”
When she said that she didn't want to see men, Qian Dingxing looked tenderly at the black umbrella in her arms.
Looking at his almost tender expression, Lu Zhaoling felt a pang of sympathy.
"Xiaohan just said that you found this umbrella?"
"Correct."
Lu Zhaoling asked curiously, "Where did you find it? Was it in the ghost market?"
"No."
To their surprise, Qian Dingxing said that he found the umbrella in Yunnan.
Lu Zhaoling was stunned for a moment.
As Qian Dingxing finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and took out a letter from his pocket, handing it to her.
"The Lu family of Yunbei asked me to bring this out and find a suitable person to deliver it to you. At first, I was thinking of having her deliver it when I met this little girl, but then I thought I might as well go myself."
The Lu family of Yunbei?
Those were the three generations of a family that Lu Zhaoling and her companions had encountered at the Ghost Market. Lu Zhaoling had even obtained something from them that appeared to be Lu Ming's.
They said they would send someone to her wedding, but they never came.
Could it be that something has happened to the Lu family in Yunbei?
Lu Zhaoling took the letter and opened it immediately.
The letter was written by that old man, Mr. Lu. It was indeed an apology to her, saying that after returning, some conflicts had occurred among several prominent families in Yunbei, and they were temporarily unable to leave. He asked for her understanding.
The letter also extended a particularly warm invitation to her and everyone from the First Mystic Sect to visit Yunbei.
The letter was brief and didn't explain what the conflict in Yunbei was about, perhaps because they felt it wasn't convenient to go into detail in a letter.
While she was reading the letter, Sheng Xiaohan asked Qian Dingxing, "Brother A-Xing, you actually went to Yunbei? What are you doing there?"
"Didn't you say that I should come up here and take a walk, instead of always staying in the ghost market? So I went to Yunbei."
"Why didn't you take me with you? I could have gone with you. It would be so lonely going alone," Sheng Xiaohan said.
Qian Dingxing sighed softly, looking at her, "Tell me, are you still a young lady? How could I possibly take you with me?"
A man and a woman alone together like that, and she was still an unmarried young girl, what kind of situation was that?
Sheng Xiaohan bit her lower lip and remained silent.
Lu Zhaoling finished reading the letter at that moment and put it away.
"Then how did you find this in Yunbei?" She looked at the black umbrella. "Did you just find an umbrella, or did you give it to her?"
The "she" in this context naturally refers to the female ghost inside the umbrella.
When Lu Zhaoling saw Qian Dingxing holding the umbrella at the door, she immediately realized that a female ghost was hiding inside.
"What you find is an umbrella."
Qian Dingxing said, "Something happened in Yunbei. Old Master Lu might have mentioned it to you in his letter, right?"
Lu Zhaoling nodded; she was curious.
"What happened?"
"Aren't there always treasures in the mountains of Yunbei? Several aristocratic families regularly select young people from their clans to go treasure hunting and compete. The winner gets to have a say in the Yunbei region."
"Yes, I've heard Old Master Lu mention this before."
"This time, outsiders went there, and they were quite mysterious, both mysterious and arrogant. It is said that they first sent a dart with a letter attached to a martial arts arena where several aristocratic families gathered. The letter said that they were going to enter the mountains to search for treasures and that these families should not send anyone there this year. Otherwise, if they encounter them in the mountains and something happens to their clan members, they will not be blamed for not notifying them."
"Who are they? Aren't they from those old aristocratic families?"
Lu Zhaoling was quite surprised to hear this.
That's pretty arrogant.
"At first, they were investigating, suspecting that it might have been the idea of a certain family this year. But after investigating for several days, they ruled it out. That group of people were not from any of their families. They didn't know where they came from to Yunbei."
"Those people have set up an array at the entrance to the mountain where they used to go, sealing off the entrance. Several aristocratic families are trying to break the array."
"Has the formation been broken?" Sheng Xiaohan asked curiously.
On the way here, Qian Dingxing didn't tell her any of this. She was the one who kept chattering about her trip to the capital.
Qian Dingxing said, "After I went there, I helped them out. They broke through the formation and entered the mountain, and I followed them in and wandered around for half a day. That's where I found this umbrella."
"Could this umbrella have been dropped by one of those people?"
Sheng Xiaohan asked, then with a glimmer of hope, "Could the female ghost here be someone else she knows well? Brother Xing, shouldn't we let her go back to Yunbei to find someone?"
You should leave. Why stay with Brother Xing?
Lu Zhaoling glanced at Sheng Xiaohan.
This girl's thoughts are clearly written all over her face.
"I brought her here to see Master Lu, didn't I?" Qian Dingxing looked at Lu Zhaoling, then at Qingmu standing to the side. "I'll ask her if she wants to come out and speak for herself now. But, could this gentleman please excuse us for now?"
"Aoki, you stay outside and keep watch," Lu Zhaoling said to Aoki.
