This is what happened when Bai Qianzhi and Ha Khalil entered the big pit.
With the addition of the Su Tan sisters, the team looking for Bai Qianzhi expanded to eight people. Guided by the Blood Gem, they crossed the Canzepada Everglades for the second time, eventually heading north to the southern border of Guruni.
"Going northeast? No, no. There are signs of a monster tide gathering over there, so if you want to travel, you should go to Kumkuz."
As a result, when the group tried to pass through the checkpoint, they were denied access by the local law enforcement team on the grounds that monsters were gathering.
"Hey, it seems that I can only go to Kumkuz first."
Ye Qianchen, who was in charge of negotiations, returned to the team and informed the bad news in a fairly relaxed tone.
"We can smuggle in."
Hey, hey, hey, can the unruly night ghost clan over there not speak first?
"Oh, what does it matter, just go. After Bai Qianzhi came to Guluni, he probably didn't go directly east, I was more concerned about whether I could find out about him in Kumkuz. After all, there is a great magician, so it should be more convenient to ask the royal family directly than to find a passerby."
"Oh, do you want me to deal with those nasty guys? I don't want it, I'd rather smuggle it in."
It is rare for Alsha to show such obvious disgust...... Have you had any conflicts with scholars? Speaking of which, it seems that the bad reputation of her "crystallized witch" when she was young came from Guluni...... Ye Qianchen restrained his curiosity a little, and took the topic over with a haha.
"Anyway, I can't get past the sentry card at the moment, so it's better to get a permit after all. Even if the great magician doesn't want to come forward, it shouldn't be a problem to rely on my own connections to get permission."
So, at the suggestion of Ye Qianchen, the team rushed to the royal city of Kumkuz in Guluni. The journey took nearly four months, but fortunately, the journey went smoothly, and the group arrived in Kumkuz without any accidents. The camp is temporarily set up on the outskirts of the main city, and the next step is to negotiate the candidates for entering the city.
"I won't go."
Alsha took the lead before the rest of the people could speak to persuade him.
"Please...... Do you hate the scholars here so much? You are a big man anyway, you don't have any courage?"
Thankfully, there was another person in the team who dared to choke her directly to stand up and speak. Ye Qianchen quietly gave Xiao Ai a thumbs up.
"I hate it. Besides, you don't say that I am a stupid student, don't you hate dumb people too?"
"Ahhhhh If you don't go, don't go, anyway, you have no diplomatic value to use after leaving office, so you can rot and grow mushrooms outside!"
"Hmph, mushrooms or something like a young woman like me can't grow up."
"My sister and I will wait outside, most of the Guluni people hate night ghosts."
The scolding between the master and apprentice was over, and the Su Tan sisters also said that they wanted to stay. Based on respect for the identity of the Night Ghost Clan, Ye Qianchen did not force them to follow.
"That's me, junior sister, princess, Xiao Ai, and the five of us in white went in, right? Then the camp will ask the three of you to take care of it, and we will solve the matter as soon as possible."
"Have a smooth journey."
Under the eyes of the three people who stayed behind, the five people successfully entered Kumkuz.
"Hey, Kumkuz...... How many years ago was the last time I visited? Fifty years? Forty years?"
"It's sixty years, senior brother, your memory is too bad."
"Hey, after all, the academic atmosphere here is special, and after a big circle, I still prefer Angoban. Having said that, not much has changed here...... Oh, what do you say, this bakery is familiar to me, I'll go buy a few to eat."
The five of them stopped and walked around the city, not only to familiarize themselves with the environment so that they could collect information next, but also to lead Irene Heath and Xiao Ai, who had never been to Guluni, for a simple sightseeing.
"Come on, come on, princess, little love, white. Try the specialty pine croissant here, it's delicious! My junior sister and I used to buy it every day when we lived here for a short time, and this taste is really worth remembering no matter how many years have passed."
Standing on the side of the street, Ye Qianchen, who was so excited that he held a large bag of bread and distributed it to everyone. Xiao Ai waved her hand in refusal, Bai Yi nodded and took it silently, while Irene Heath was aroused by his flattering description, politely took a small piece and tasted it, then gently held her face with one hand and smiled.
"Thank you, it's really delicious."
"Yes, senior brother was greedy and knocked on other people's doors in the middle of the night."
"Oh dear, black history is ......."
——Huh?
Suddenly, the corner of Irene Heath's clothes was pulled up. She subconsciously looked back and saw a pair of cat ears that were slightly bouncing on her goose-yellow head.
「…… The ...... beside Bai Qianzhi Sister?"
"Hey......"
Six dumbfounded people stood on the side of the street and looked at each other.
After that, within the Sky Theater Company——
"Leader Tuantuan! Oh no, something big happened! Ah no, not bad...... Anyway, something big happened!"
The troupe just finished a large-scale performance last night, and the members who rarely had a break at this time were all enjoying a rare peace, but with the return of a startled big cat, this peace was immediately broken.
"Alas, Ke Ke Luo, how many times have you said it...... Forget it, what happened?"
Mr. Cang, who wanted to scold her, felt that this scene was a bit familiar, so he temporarily put away the rules and set his sights on the door.
"Oops...... Aren't these the benefactors' companions?"
Because he always felt that this scene was a bit familiar, Cang was not so surprised at first.
"Well, long time no see. I didn't expect to meet again after leaving the swamp, will the troupe go smoothly after that?"
Bai Qianzhi was not there, and the only person in the team who was most convenient to come forward was Ye Qianchen, who had been with him, and he naturally stood up and was responsible for negotiations.
"Blessings to the people of Tonen and everyone, everything went well for the troupe...... Ah, no, compared to this kind of thing."
Cang first subconsciously responded to the greeting, and then reacted immediately.
"You all came to Guluni specifically to find your benefactor, right?"
As expected, she was a smart woman who matched her previous impression. Ye Qianchen was relieved that talking to smart people was really trouble-free, and at the same time, he began to think about what parts of Bai Qianzhi could not be explained to her, but while he was thinking, Irene Heath took the initiative to stand up and take over the topic.
"Yes, we are here to find Bai Qianzhi...... It was out of selfishness that I wanted to see him again. Miss Cang, if you know any clues related to him, can you please tell us?"
"Hmm......"
Cang fell into a little deep thought, and seemed to be thinking about something similar to Ye Qianchen. But she was immediately relieved and suggested to the five people with a serious face: "If you are not in a hurry, you can take a break in the troupe first. The experience of the benefactor Kumkuz is a bit complicated, and there are many people and things involved, so I will try to call them all into the troupe first."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
"No."
Without any delay, Cang immediately left the troupe in a hurry. It seems that Bai Qianzhi's relationship with the troupe after leaving the team is not bad, and he can make such a fish-man woman work hard for him...... Ye Qianchen dared to say that if the main lord was in front of him now, it would definitely be very interesting to tease.
"Senior brother, are you thinking about rude things again?"
Ling Luoxi next to him immediately pinched his elbow and gave him a look.
