That's right, Bai Luo has always been a loner, and even the Fatui's men don't know when and where he will go.
It would be strange if she found out anything.
But why did this guy tell me so directly? Was he looking down on me? Or did he think that if I didn't expose his identity as Battousai, he would help him keep the plan secret
Ye Lan moved her fingers slightly, and the hot water in the bathtub turned into silk threads, connecting with the silk threads on Bai Luo's body.
Following her movements, Bai Luo, who had just found a good position and was planning to enjoy it for a while, was directly pulled up by her.
"You know how I punish people who try to hide something from me?"
Looking directly into Bai Luo's eyes, Ye Lan slowly narrowed her eyes, a dangerous aura filling her body.
As for Bai Luo
He moved his eyes downwards and looked at the skin that was already exposed above the water, his expression was wonderful.
"Why do I feel like you're rewarding me?"
That’s right, no matter whether it’s the same sex or the opposite sex, the current situation is a reward no matter how you look at it, right
But when I think about the fact that I am the only one who enjoys this kind of treatment, how should I put it... ... I feel a little proud.
"whispering sound."
Bai Luo was pushed back into the water, and Ye Lan also sat back.
As Ningguang's special intelligence officer, Ye Lan had interrogated many prisoners.
So she could see that Bai Luo was really not afraid of torture or anything like that.
Even when I scared him just now, he didn't take it seriously.
But she couldn't really use those torture methods on Bai Luo. It's not that she was reluctant, but
Every time she wanted to take action, she would recall the morning when she woke up and saw Battousai lying in front of her bed, covered in wounds.
Even now when she was tying Bai Luo up, she would subconsciously not tie him too tight.
"Don't worry, my plan won't affect you. Recently, I was in a beautiful place, talking happily with an old guy, and he is an old acquaintance of your emperor."
Looking at Ye Lan who seemed to be thinking about something, Bai Luo appropriately added fuel to the fire.
Old guy? Is he an old acquaintance of the Emperor
Bai Luo's seemingly unintentional words stunned Ye Lan.
She felt as if she had grasped something in these words, but she didn't quite grasp it.
After kicking Bai Luo, who looked a little dishonest, Ye Lan began to sort out her thoughts.
But this time, she didn't start sorting from the time Bai Luo disappeared, but went a little further back.
For example, the news she got from Ningguang.
Bai Luo might have some relationship with the Emperor. He used to be... maybe also a Liyue immortal.
Chapter 626: An Accidental Success
In a beautiful place with mountains and rivers, I had a pleasant chat with an old guy.
Bai Luo's words sounded confusing, but they contained a lot of information and intelligence.
Looking at Bai Luo, who was sitting opposite her with a smug look on his face, Ye Lan's lips curled up slightly, with a cunning light in her eyes.
Indeed, if she didn't have enough information, she would definitely think that Bai Luo was doing something with some high-ranking members of the Fatui or someone else.
But as luck would have it, Ningguang happened to tell her certain things, such as the relationship between Bai Luo and Emperor Jun, so the meaning was different.
The so-called beautiful mountains and clear waters can be completely understood as one place - a fairyland.
Considering Bai Luo's background, it is clear that the old fellow who talked so happily with him must be an immortal who had long ago retired to the mountains and forests and no longer cared about worldly affairs.
So... Ye Lan had some idea of what role Bai Luo played in the murder of the Emperor.
Regardless of whether he had anything to do with the assassination of the Emperor, at least he wanted to use this incident to stir up trouble in Liyue.
As for what they were going to do, considering the current situation in Liyue, Ye Lan could more or less guess it.
It’s not so much a guess as it is more like putting herself in Bai Luo’s shoes and thinking about what she would do if she were in his position.
Emperor Rock King is the God of Contracts and is also known as the ancestor of all immortals. All the immortals who have now retired to the mountains once made a contract to guard Liyue.
Now, the soul of Emperor Rock King has ascended to the heaven. As the immortals who follow him, they will definitely not sit idly by.
Bai Luo, who once had the identity of an immortal, can use this identity to go to the immortal's cave to lobby.
No matter what hatred he had with the Emperor, or what kind of relationship he had with the immortals, at least compared with the current Liyue Seven Stars, the immortals would definitely be more familiar with Bai Luo, the former immortal.
You can tell at a glance who you will be more inclined towards.
If the immortals were to be sown into disunity and use their status to put pressure on the Seven Stars, then Liyue’s current situation would become even worse.
Even Ye Lan had to admit that Bai Luo's move was indeed vicious enough.
Because no matter how you look at it, it was natural for him to reminisce about the past with his former immortal friends and report the case to the Liyue Seven Stars.
It is also true that the Emperor was killed right under the noses of the Seven Stars.
This dereliction of duty put them at a disadvantage from the start.
She wanted to find trouble but didn't know where to start.
But what she never expected was that Bai Luo actually thought he had a sure win and just casually said such an important thing.
In this way... ... there are many ways to break the deadlock.
For example, the traveler she just hooked up with does not belong to Liyue, nor does she belong to the immortal camp, and she is not even on Bai Luo's side.
She, an unexpected entrant, may become the key to breaking the deadlock.
Thinking of this, her mood improved a little.
After all, Bai Luo had always schemed against her so badly, but she never expected that there would be a day when she would also scheme against her.
As for Bai Luo's words asking her to take good care of the traveler... ... she understood it to mean something else.
For example, Bai Luo also saw her role in this situation and wanted to mention her in front of him in advance so that he would ignore her role.
Do you think Bai Luo didn’t think too much about it at all
No
Ye Lan and Bai Luo have known each other for so long, and she knows his strengths and weaknesses in this regard. Otherwise, why would he come all the way here to talk to her about this? Could it be that he really just wanted her to take care of her
On the other hand, Bai Luo, who was sitting opposite him, nodded secretly when he noticed that Ye Lan was a little absent-minded.
This time it wasn't Ye Lan who was imagining things, it was indeed Bai Luo who was plotting against him.
However, Bai Luo himself might not have expected that, because he had been too close to Morax before, and Morax had been more "caring" about him, Ningguang and the others had misunderstood the relationship between him and Morax.
Anyway... ...it seems like it was a lucky coincidence.
"Speaking of which, where did you put the body of Emperor Yan Wang?"
Moving his body downwards, Bai Luo casually mentioned this matter.
Underwater, Bai Luo's tied feet tried to do some small movements with the help of the buoyancy of the water.
Unfortunately, although he could create water, he was not good at playing with water. His little movements were directly noticed by Ye Lan.
"Please be polite. That's called [Immortal Ancestor's Transformation]"
By "be more polite", I don't know if it refers to Bai Luo's little action underwater or the disrespect he mentioned.
In short, she stepped hard on Bai Luo's knee with her free foot, and then sat directly across his calf.
"As an envoy of Zhidong, your country's top leader has passed away. I must at least offer a moment of silence and condolences on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen. I have prepared the wreaths."
Bai Luo tried to move his feet, but his current position didn't allow him to use much strength. In addition, she had put her entire weight on Bai Luo's feet, making it impossible for him to pull them out.
All he could do was to show off his ability with his mouth and try to get as much information as possible.
"We appreciate your kindness, but since the Emperor was stabbed, the real murderer has not yet been captured, and the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transfiguration must be preserved as well as possible. When everything is settled, the Seven Stars will take the lead in receiving representatives from other countries like you and hold memorial activities."
Ye Lan's words sounded a bit official, but this is also the current attitude of the Seven Stars.
Not to mention Bai Luo, as Ningguang's special intelligence officer, she didn't even know where Qixing had hidden the Immortal Ancestor's Transfiguration.
She could sense that there must be some hidden secret that she was not aware of.
But none of this matters anymore. As long as she can restrain Bai Luo and prevent him from causing any trouble during this period of time, it will be the greatest protection for Liyue.
"I see. I heard that in addition to the Invite Immortal Ceremony, Liyue also has a Send Away Immortal Ceremony. I wanted to see it, but it seems I won't have the chance."
Bai Luo tried to move his legs again and suddenly felt something was wrong.
This feeling... Could it be
"Send...send the immortal ceremony?"
Ye Lan, who was sitting on Bai Luo's calf, was stunned for a moment, then directly put her hand on Bai Luo's somewhat dishonest legs.
As one of the few warlock families in Liyue, Ye Lan also has some understanding of this, but the so-called understanding is only what the elders in the family have talked about.
His family once held a ceremony to send off a Yaksha who died in battle.
But so much time has passed that the immortals have long become folk legends, and even the emperor rarely walks in the world.
Except for the older generation, not many people knew about the so-called ceremony of sending off the immortals.
I never thought that Bai Luo would
Oh, yes, he seemed to be an immortal originally
Chapter 627: Seedlings of Hope
"Come to think of it, how long are you going to keep me tied up?"
Feeling the strength in Ye Lan's hand, Bai Luo almost choked on the bath water they were sharing.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s wearing clothes, but Ye Lan can be said to be unscrupulous.
But she seemed to have forgotten one thing. Except for the windbreaker on the outside, the clothes Bai Luo was wearing were all made of a material similar to that of a tights.
Simply put, this special material is almost the same as not wearing anything.
Ye Lan thought Bai Luo couldn't feel anything, but in fact Bai Luo could feel everything.
"Until I feel safe."
The water was still warm, and Ye Lan's originally snow-white skin was covered with a light but attractive pink because of the water temperature.
However, it is not certain whether this blush is caused by hot water or something else.
"So you also know that you are not very safe now?"
Glancing at his own cooling time, Bai Luo asked.
Even though he is tied up by Ye Lan now, as long as his quantum power cools down, even if justice comes
Well, he really wasn't sure whether he could be a match for Heaven's Law.
But it is more than enough to deal with Ye Lan.
"In this situation, what else can you do besides being tough?"
The hand stretched under the water touched the soft flesh at the bend of Bai Luo's leg and "gently" pinched it.
Seeing Bai Luo's facial muscles twitching due to the pain in his legs, Ye Lan chuckled again.
"Maybe there's more to it than just talking. Do you want to see for yourself?"
In this situation, what would happen if he just kept talking
Why not find an opportunity to pull YaYa out of the abyss so that the two of them can stay together forever.
But in Ye Lan's opinion, he was just satisfying his mouth.
In this case, he simply
“Crash—”
Just as Ye Lan thought of this, Bai Luo, who was originally tied up with silk thread, suddenly pulled out his legs and pounced on Ye Lan.
