A Heavenly Sound Bell

Early the next morning, inside Tianque Pavilion's dungeon.

Accompanied by the faint chime of bells, a girl in a golden dress entered the underground passage.

After turning a corner, Jinque'er immediately quickened her pace. Raising her pretty face, she looked timidly at the Coir Raincoat Woman. "My lady, I have come to... request an audience with God Ran."

Yan Shuangzi was expressionless. "Go back. It is not convenient."

Jinque'er looked somewhat disappointed. She nodded politely and turned to leave.

[Shadow Fiend, I'm awake.] The youth's deep voice imprinted itself in the woman's mind. [Let her in.]

"Pavilion Master Jin." Yan Shuangzi looked at the girl's retreating back and slowly stepped aside.

Jinque'er did not know why the Coir Raincoat Woman had changed her mind. Seeing this, she hurriedly nodded in gratitude and carefully walked inside.

The vast dungeon was pitch-black, its torches already extinguished.

Jinque'er had a pair of sparrow eyes and saw the youth sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Lu Ran also had a pair of dog eyes and saw the gorgeously dressed girl, her eyes brimming with gratitude.

"God Ran." Jinque'er stepped forward twice, her bells chiming crisp and sweet.

Yet Lu Ran noticed something different. Why was there only one golden bell left on the girl's ankle?

He no longer concerned himself with that and said softly, "Just call me Lu Ran. Has the sect stabilized already?"

"Thank you, Lu Lu Heavenly Pride, for lending a hand and upholding justice." Jinque'er knelt and lowered her head. In the end, she still did not dare address Lu Ran by name directly. She extended her small hands, and in her palms lay a golden bell.

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow slightly. "This is?"

Jinque'er said quietly, "Lu Heavenly Pride, Tianque Pavilion has nothing worthy to offer. This Heavenly Sound Bell..."
