In that comic strip, all of Fanning's concerns were drawn, and Fanning was troubled for about half of the issue about who this "Ran Niang" was.
Then the readers read the full psychological description and wondered, "Who is Ran Niang?" It sounds so familiar, but I have no impression of her at all. Who is this person
The readers wanted to rush over to Fanning and grab his ears and flip them over for him.
This guy! The one in red!
This is the person Yuan pretended to be when he was a spy!
Nima, Sanqing Sect actually has such a connection with Yuan? It's amazing.
Thanks to these comments, Liu An, after staring at the comics for a long time, suddenly exclaimed "Ah!" and almost jumped up.
Yes! Ran Niang! Ran Niang is Yuan!
Liu An's mind suddenly became clear.
Legend has it that Yuan once wore women's clothing to go to the Taoist priest to get information... So this is where he came from! What the hell...
Liu An felt that his three views had collapsed. When he saw "Ran Niang" extracting information, he vaguely laughed at which sect was so weak that it was actually sneaked in by monsters.
Although there were many flaws in the whole incident, Liu An still carefully sorted out the contents of these letters. It would have been terrible if he hadn't sorted them out. Once he sorted them out, he actually found some particularly surprising things.
There are many things in it, all related to what happened during the war. What made Liu An feel cold was that the man named Liu had mentioned some of his ideas many times in the letter.
Most of those thoughts could not be spoken out loud, either then or now. Liu An had seen in a letter that Liu Wenran had recently come up with an idea, if all the monsters were eliminated, would the war be settled? In his reply, Ran kept persuading Liu, telling him not to be impulsive, to calm down, and then discuss it.
Liu An once thought that this Liu was his grandfather or great-grandfather, but from the letters, it can be seen that this is a very violent person. His ideas are similar to those of the pure-blood faction of monsters now - the monsters want to kill all humans, and Liu wants to kill all monsters.
After watching the whole thing, many things and conjectures flashed through his mind, and these conjectures also made him start to feel creepy. Since the monsters had the idea of wiping out their bloodline during the war, would humans also have the idea of wiping out their bloodline
So is this Liu one of those who supports bloodline erasure
However, since this kind of thought is not widely spread among humans, it means that the people who support this idea must be a minority, so it is very likely that Liu was suppressed before he even expressed his ideas.
And this Ran Niang - since "she" is Yuan, does "she" know the identity of Liu? How much information did Yuan get out of Liu back then
Everything remains a mystery to this day.
Liu An couldn't figure it out. He tried to get more information out of others, but he didn't succeed because everyone deliberately avoided talking about it. Even the old man who had told him something before, had become ill when he went to see him some time ago. Now he is in a daze and can hardly recognize people, let alone answer Liu An's questions.
So these things... are all just mysteries.
However, Liu An was not completely helpless. After the next broadcast of the Monster Chronicle, all his problems were drawn into the new issue of the comics.
The comics blurred out part of the story, at least Liu An's identity was not revealed. In the comics, that Liu was just a strange senior who had nothing to do with Fanning, not his elder or anything like that.
This is of course a means of protection, but Liu An suddenly began to doubt one thing, that is, what is the identity and status of this Liu. In Liu An's mind before, this may be an insignificant little character, but because it may reveal the mystery of his life experience, he was drawn so carefully, but at this moment, he suddenly figured it out.
—Because the relationship between Liu and Fanning in the comics cannot be revealed, so the identity of this Liu must be complicated... Because if Liu was just a simple supporting role, Ji Qiu would definitely not draw him, otherwise people would wonder why he would draw such a simple supporting role, and then doubt his identity.
So why did Ji Qiu paint this person
-Unless he thinks this person is very important in the comics and has value in existence, and is likely to become a key figure in promoting the development of the plot.
When Liu An thought of this, his mood became even more depressed. He always had a unreassuring premonition.
Yuan Yuanyuan glanced at the latest issue of Monster Chronicles and nodded thoughtfully.
She explained why she had gotten things related to Yiqi (the sealed sword and the mantra) from Sanqingmen before. After a long while, she found out that Yiqi had been an undercover agent there.
These things were most likely left there during his undercover period. They may know that Ran Niang was a traitor, but time has been too long and they have gradually forgotten the source of some things, so they made the ridiculous incident of "taking Yi Qi's things to deal with Yuan".
Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't help but frown when she thought of the previous misunderstanding. She thought to herself, your Sanqing Sect is really evil. Why do you always do such things? It feels so weird that it's hard to describe. You are worthy of being the sect that raised the protagonist. Your feng shui is inherently bad.
Now it seems that Liu is obviously a pen pal of Yiqi. If someone comes to ask her about this Liu in the future, she will still have a headache because she knows nothing and has no idea who this Liu is. She only knows that he seems to be a human who also wants to kill monsters.
Yuan Yuanyuan wanted to get some information out of the old man, and the first choice was the boss lady, who was Yiqi's old lover. The boss lady usually answered every question, although she would occasionally say a few words like "dead ghost"... cough cough, but generally speaking she was still very reliable.
Then Yuan Yuanyuan went to find the boss lady, and the two of them drank together. Halfway through the drink, Yuan Yuanyuan mentioned the matter of Liu, "The content of the recent paintings in the Monster Record..."
The proprietress drank her wine and glanced at her, "What's the point of you talking about this now?"
Yuan Yuanyuan: "…Ah?"
"I saw that you never mentioned it, and I thought you were deliberately avoiding it." The proprietress poured her another glass of wine. "I was afraid that it would affect your mood, so I never mentioned it. I didn't expect that you would bring it up first today."
Yuan Yuanyuan, "... ah, I suddenly wanted to mention this today... you... why don't you tell me what you think?"
"What are you thinking?" The lady boss gave Yuan Yuanyuan a strange look. "I thought you were taking care of an old friend's child, so you took such good care of him. Did I misunderstand?"
"No, no, no, I do think so." Yuan Yuanyuan agreed carelessly, but she was still confused. Who was the child of that old friend? Could it be that Yiqi had another old lover at Sanqingmen? The two had a baby... No, no, no, don't think like that. If there really was an old lover, the boss lady would probably execute her on the spot, so they should really be ordinary friends.
"Since none of you have said anything, it's best not to say anything now." The lady boss poured another glass of wine for Yuan Yuanyuan. "Although I don't know what happened back then, if you don't say anything about this kind of thing at the beginning, it will be meaningless to say it later. Besides, if you say it out loud, it will anger that big monster Ji Qiu... It's a good choice to keep it the way it is now."
Yuan Yuanyuan pretended that she understood, but in fact she didn't understand at all. She thought to herself that it was not that she didn't want to say it... Even if you asked her to say it now, she wouldn't know what to say. She was completely clueless.
In some ways, is this another way for Ji Qiu to protect herself? He deliberately found someone like her who knew nothing. If it was really Yi Qi, then the situation might be a little more complicated, but Yi Qi shouldn't be as weak as her.
Yuan Yuanyuan drank a few more glasses of wine, and suddenly the proprietress over there laughed again.
Her laughter was like a silver bell, and she couldn't stop laughing. Yuan Yuanyuan was attracted by her laughter and turned to look over. The proprietress waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, but she couldn't control her laughter.
"What happened? Why are you laughing like that?" The proprietress was not usually like this, so Yuan Yuanyuan asked a question and then casually ate the fruit in the tavern.
"Speaking of which, you've dealt a terrible hand to Yu Wu... When we heard that he was sealed in Sanqingmen by a powerful Taoist priest, we were shocked and were still guessing which powerful Taoist priest sealed him. Who knew it was you..."
… Yuan Yuanyuan had a cherry stuck in her throat and couldn’t go down.
"Cough! Cough! Cough..."
"Are you okay?" The proprietress quickly brought Yuan Yuanyuan some water. Yuan Yuanyuan took a sip to calm down, and then suddenly fell into a state of confusion.
…
Oh my god, that person is you! The Taoist priest who sealed Yu Wu turned out to be Yi Qi, you
No wonder Yu Wu hated Yuan so much when he first came out! There was a reason for this, no wonder he called him a traitor or something! I guess Yu Wu wanted to kill Yuan in his heart.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt terrified when she thought about it, especially when she suddenly remembered that Yiqi had left a sealed sword and a seal formula at Sanqingmen...
Ah... It's over. No wonder that guy Yu Wu looked unhappy when he saw her. It's understandable.
