Although the source of the matter has been solved, the town at this time is still brightly lit and carriages are constantly crossing. ◦•●◉✿ ➅➈ ✿◉●•◦
The neighing of horses and the urging of pedestrians made this remote town on the border between the two countries particularly turbulent.
The place where Tian Chen and Niu Pi fought the old man Fire Leopard Sect was not far from the hotel in the center of the town. The group of people deliberately quickened their pace and quickly returned to the door of the hotel.
Just as Tian Chen expected, this hotel, which was originally crowded with guests, was already empty. Even the horses parked in the stables next to the hotel were very few.
But what makes Tian Chen feel fortunate is that the coachman he hired at Suotuo City is driving the carriage waiting at the door of the hotel. After seeing Tian Chen, the old man breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said with a wry smile.
"Sir, if you don't come back, I will have to run away."
He is just an ordinary person living at the bottom, and has always stayed away from the disputes between Soul Master. If he hadn't had a better sense of Tian Chen, he wouldn't have been able to take such a big risk and wait in front of the hotel for so long.
Tian Chen nodded kindly to the coachman, then turned around and suggested to Ye Lingling the master and servant.
"Miss Ye, Uncle Niu, this is the only carriage here, you can come with me.§.•´¨'°÷•..× ×,.•´¨'°÷•..§"
After wasting so much energy, he naturally would not just let Ye Lingling leave. Of course, given his background, even if he had someone take Ye Lingling back to Spirit City by force, no one would dare to say anything. But this goes against his original intention. If he really wanted to let himself go, he would not have restrained himself in the past few years.
Niu Pi glanced at Tian Chen, obviously a little moved. He was seriously injured now. Although the wound was healed by Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, his own Soul Power and physical condition were not It will take a while and a half to recover. Being with Tian Chen can also provide an extra layer of protection for his young lady's safety. Moreover, he still trusts Tian Chen, who has gone through this hunt together with their master and servant. This is a rare sense of trust cultivated in times of crisis.
However, the final decision-making power still rests with his young lady, and he does not dare to overstep too much.
Under the gaze of Tian Chen, Ye Lingling subconsciously avoided Tian Chen's burning gaze, and then seemed to have mustered up the courage to walk to Tian Chen shyly, nodded slightly, and whispered.
"Thank you."
"Then should you repay me?" Seeing Ye Lingling, who had always been cold and cold, looked like this, Tian Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing what Tian Chen said, Ye Lingling was stunned, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.ඏ🍧 ☺👮However, she quickly calmed down her emotions, and even her previous shyness was completely hidden.
Staring directly at Tian Chen with a pair of clear blue eyes, he asked calmly.
"I still have one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin on hand, just think of it as reward."
Ye Lingling said as he took out a completely golden Soul Crystal Card from the Soul Tool on his wrist.
"Miss, this is your living expenses in the next few years at Heaven Dou City." Seeing that your lady has spent her last savings, Niu Pi can't just sit back and do nothing at this time.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy is no different than other colleges. The annual tuition fee alone requires at least tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coin. Plus the usual food, clothing, housing and transportation, these one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin are just enough.
Thinking of this, Niu Pi also felt helpless.
But there is nothing we can do about it, because the Ye family is already in such dire straits. These 100,000 gold soul coins are the last savings that the Ye family can use.
Ye Lingling stopped Niu Pi with his eyes, then looked at Tian Chen again, and stubbornly handed over Soul Crystal Card in his hand.
"Okay, put it away, I was joking with you." Tian Chen looked at Ye Lingling carefully, and he admired her more and more now.
"You saved me and Uncle Niu, you deserve it."
However, Ye Lingling was still very stubborn and pushed the golden Soul Crystal Card into Tian Chen's hands, and walked directly into the carriage regardless of Tian Chen's reaction.
Looking at the Soul Crystal Card that still had a faint fragrance in his hand, Tian Chen shook his head helplessly, saying there was nothing more.
Giving a slight signal to Niu Pi, Tian Chen followed Ye Lingling and walked into the carriage one after another.
The space of the carriage is not very large, and it is definitely not comparable to the carriage at Tian Chen's home. There are only two rows of opposing wooden chairs placed at the front and rear of the carriage.
If the Tian Chen is used by one person, it is quite spacious, and adding a Ye Lingling is also no problem.
But Niu Pi is so huge, his height alone reaches two meters. He can almost occupy one seat by himself, and it would be really difficult for him to sit crowded with others.
After entering the carriage, Niu Pi looked at Ye Lingling and Tian Chen who were sitting opposite each other and scratched their heads in embarrassment.
Naturally, he couldn't sit in a row with Ye Lingling, but sitting in a row with Tian Chen would seem too crowded. Although Tian Chen is only about 1.8 meters tall, his body shape is also considered to be strong. If two people sit in a row, the carriage will burst.
"Uncle Niu, come and sit here with me, I'll go over there." Considering that Niu Pi's body was still very weak, Ye Lingling glanced at Tian Chen who had closed his eyes and entered the cultivation state, pursed his lips, and sat down next to Tian Chen.
Of course, he knew that Tian Chen's previous words were mostly joking, but Tian Chen still felt a little angry when he said this. She didn't know why, but from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to owe Tian Chen, and longed for the right to talk to Tian Chen on an equal footing.
"It's Miss." Niu Pi responded, looking back and forth between Tian Chen and his lady with some confusion. As soon as he entered the carriage, he felt that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange. However, after thinking for a long time, he didn't know what happened between Tian Chen and his lady in the carriage, so he simply leaned against the window to rest.
Not long after, the carriage slowly drove out of the town. Since it was midnight, for the sake of safety, the driver did not drive the carriage very fast, which also reduced many bumps.
Niu Pi on the opposite side had even fallen asleep due to overexertion, and his even and rapid snores echoed continuously in the carriage.
Ye Lingling was leaning on the other side of the car window, holding Soul Crystal Card in his hands with a pair of jade hands, looking at the empty night sky outside the window, with a smile on his lips, slightly absent-minded.
Then she seemed to think of something again, and turned around to look at Tian Chen with interest, her eyes flashing Youyou's blue light in the somewhat dim carriage.
A strange Soul Power wave suddenly emanated from her forehead.
However, the next moment, her eyes suddenly widened and she looked back and forth on Tian Chen's body in confusion.
