Chapter 260.1: The Strange Lan Jia (1/2)

Right after that person spoke, another familiar voice appeared. “Ah Yu, shut up!”

Tang Doudou’s heart leapt as she turned to look over. She made eye contact with a pair of beautiful eyes that shone like the gentle sun as the person nodded towards her.

It was Lan Jia!

And he recognized her!

Lan Jia only gave her a brief smile before turning towards the confused crowd to say, “Everyone, please don’t stay around for too long. Demonic bugs often come out from the black smoke to seek food, so it’s safest on the Sacred Tree.”

“Saint Envoy is just too kind-hearted. We should let these people have a good look at how strong those demonic bugs are so that they would learn to behave!” The black-robed person called Ah Yu seemed to be Lan Jia’s subordinate, but the way he spoke was quite casual.

Tang Doudou couldn’t help but look at him curiously. She saw that his almond eyes were quite round and black, so he was probably pretty young.

Ah Yu didn’t pay any attention to her gaze. Or it should be said that he felt it beneath himself to pay attention to her.

That temper of his could compare with Jun Xin’s.

When the people around heard that they would be attacked by demonic bugs, they all started walking towards the iron chains.

These iron chains were large and thick, so they didn’t seem like regular iron chains at all and were more like swaying suspension bridges. The only difference was that there were no side rails.

In addition, rust and moss covered the surface of the iron chains. Luckily, most of the people here knew martial arts so it wasn’t a problem for them. There were about seven iron chains here. After the black-robed people started walking on them, they looked like ants as they moved upwards.

Mu Ye also moved forward to walk up the chains. Tang Doudou wanted to tell him to wait, but someone bumped into her.

“Humph, slow-poke!” It was Ah Yu. After he knocked Tang Doudou aside, he followed after Mu Ye and caused Tang Doudou and Mu Ye to be completely separated.

Tang Doudou didn’t know what to do. She knew qinggong, but when she looked at the black fog beneath her, her calves would tremble uncontrollably. She probably wouldn’t even have a bone left intact after falling from this height!

“Lady.” Just as she was feeling troubled, Lan Jia came over.

Tang Doudou didn’t know how he managed to recognize her, but ever since finding out that he knew Baili Yu, she didn’t feel as wary of him. When she saw him head over, she greeted, “Saint Envoy Lan Jia.”

“Are you scared?” Lan Jia’s voice was like a spring breeze; it was abnormally pleasant to hear.

“Ahem, a little.” Tang Doudou glanced towards Mu Ye who had already walked a distance away and felt that it was a bit strange. Mu Ye didn’t notice that she wasn’t behind him?

“If Lady doesn’t mind, Lan Jia can bring you over.” Lan Jia followed her gaze and glanced towards Mu Ye for a brief instant before retrieving his gaze.

In this situation, she had no choice but to trouble Lan Jia.

“Then I’ll have to trouble Saint Envoy Lan Jia.”
