Before Long Xiangtian had a chance to rest, he heard a knock on the door. Thinking that the fat boy had returned, he immediately opened the door, only to see a petite maid.
There was a hint of cleverness in the eyes of this little maid. Although she was very old, she was not afraid of people at all. She looked at Long Xiangtian with curiosity.
"Girl, who are you?"
"It was the Seventh Young Master who asked me to come. If you have any instructions, I will help you." When the little maid saw Long Xiangtian asking her a question, she immediately bowed and seemed to be quite knowledgeable about the rules.
"What's your name?"
Long Xiangtian knew that the little fat boy was the seventh child in his family, so the seventh young master must be the little fat boy. Although Long Xiangtian didn't need to be taken care of, he still wanted to know something, so he planned to chat with the little maid.
"Master, just call me Huan'er."
"Huan'er." Long Xiangtian nodded. This little maid was full of energy yet polite, which made people feel comfortable.
"By the way, Huan'er, do you know a place in the Northern Wilderness called "Ghosts' Redress"? "
This ghost's complaint is the place where the Tiankui giant python is hiding in Long Xiangtian's mission. However, the information provided by the Martial Arts Academy is not so accurate. There are still some things that Long Xiangtian needs to explore by himself.
This is also a way for the inner college to assess students. It is impossible for the college to always pave the way for students. In many cases in life, people can only rely on themselves.
“The ghost is complaining!” Huan'er cried out as soon as she heard the words “the ghost is complaining”. She covered her cherry-like mouth with her slender jade fingers and looked very frightened.
"Master, this must be your first time in the Northern Wasteland."
"Well, but how did you know?" Long Xiangtian didn't expect that Huan'er could actually tell that this was his first time in Northern Wilderness.
"Young Master, if you come to the Northern Wilderness often, you would know about the complaints of ghosts. This is a dark place." Huan'er looked around, as if she was afraid that what she said would anger some ghosts.
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Long Xiangtian brought Huan'er into the house, intending to listen to her detailed story.
Seeing that Long Xiangtian treated her very casually, Huan'er relaxed a little, but she didn't dare to listen to Long Xiangtian and just sat in her seat.
"Master, you don't know, I heard that the ghosts are howling all day long, especially in the middle of the night, there are gusts of cold wind, just like a hundred ghosts walking at night."
"And more, and more, I heard that some people have seen various kinds of ghosts and monsters crawling out from the ghosts complaining about their grievances. Some people were even possessed by the monsters and died immediately."
"Even if someone managed to escape alive, they would be insane and confused all day. Or their temperament would change drastically. In short, it would be terrifying."
As Huan'er spoke, her face turned pale, and it seemed that she was frightened by the ghost's cry of injustice.
As Huan'er was a maid in the Mu Mansion, it was impossible for her to go to the ghost town to complain. These were all things she heard from others.
Naturally, Long Xiangtian didn't believe that there really was a hundred ghosts parading at night. Even if there was, the ones who took people's souls away should be the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Ghosts, not Yama.
However, Long Xiangtian still frowned. Since this Gui Mingyuan was so famous in the Northern Wilderness that even a little maid could talk about it for half a day, it meant that the things happening here were not groundless.
Long Xiangtian also knew that this matter was strange, but he was not afraid of anything. He would just fight back when the enemy came and block when the water came. He was never a timid person.
Moreover, in Long Xiangtian's opinion, these ghosts who went to complain about their wrongs did not really never return, but those who went and came back were not known to the public.
"Master, you don't want to go to that ghost to complain, do you? That's very dangerous, so you must not act on impulse."
Huan'er also guessed that Long Xiangtian wanted to go to ghosts to complain, and immediately tried to persuade him.
"It's okay." Long Xiangtian smiled, revealing a warm smile. He never expected that one day he would be cared for by a little maid.
Huan'er stopped talking when she heard Long Xiangtian say that. However, Long Xiangtian's cool and confident smile made Huan'er feel her heartbeat speed up.
"Master, since you are the third young master's friend, you must be a very capable person and will be able to return safely on time." Huan'er actually cheered up Long Xiangtian, looking quite cute.
"Okay, I'll borrow your good words then."
Long Xiangtian smiled cheerfully and asked something else: "Huan'er, I noticed that Beidi City is heavily guarded and disciplined. Could it be that a war is happening?"
"I'm not very clear about this, but I heard that because of a riot in Dongyu, the other three regions are beginning to get restless." Huan'er knew very little about such a big event.
Long Xiangtian of Dongyu was not unaware of this. The fat man had once described to Long Xiangtian the forces surrounding the entire Northern Wilderness.
In fact, Beihuang is not an independent area. There are three areas around Beihuang, namely Dongyu, Nansha and Ximu, which are no smaller than Beihuang.
These four areas are named according to the simplest directions of east, west, south and north, and these four areas belong to a common force, that is, the Tianqian Region.
However, it is said that the lord of the Tianqian domain is an elusive person, and he never interferes in the fights and developments of the four domains under him. Even if the emperors of the four domains are killed, he is too lazy to care.
So in fact, the original Beidi was not the fat boy’s father at all. It’s just that the winners are kings and the losers are bandits. The original Beidi was defeated by the fat boy’s father, and thus the current Beidi came into being.
At first, Long Xiangtian was a little confused about the special distribution of power in Tianqian Domain. He didn't know why someone would own such a large piece of land but not manage it at all.
But he didn't think much about it at the time. Now, after listening to Huan'er's words, combined with what Long Xiangtian had seen and heard before, it seems that this Tianqian area is even more chaotic than he thought.
However, Long Xiangtian was just curious about these things and did not want to get involved. Such disputes among major forces were the most troublesome. He now just wanted to complete his task well.
Afterwards, Long Xiangtian let Huan'er leave. He knew that with Huan'er's identity, it was impossible for her to know much about either the ghost's grievances or the chaotic situation in the Tianqian domain.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Long Xiangtian thought that the little fat man would not come, so he planned to practice for a while, but he heard the little fat man's voice coming from outside the door.
"Boss, I'm back."
Long Xiangtian opened the door for the little fat man with a wry smile and said casually: "This is not a dormitory, where are you going back to?"
"I'm used to it, I'm used to it." The little fat boy scratched his head and smiled innocently. But he immediately showed deep apology on his face: "Boss, my father asked too many questions, and I have too many aunts, so I left you here."
"It's okay." Long Xiangtian waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
