1657: Monsters' Death 1

Monsters' Death 1

Gu Chaoyan did not answer him, but Ouyang Mingjing did not force her to answer him either.1

As he approached her, he said of his own accord. "I heard that monsters are hurting people here in the capital, so I ordered an investigation."

"…"

"Those monsters going about in the capital are just low-class ones, nothing to fear, but they can definitely hurt innocent people. For us, they are nothing. They will come out and hurt people again tomorrow."

"…"

"Later, if you arrange everything well, nothing like this will happen. The door to enchantment has opened, but monsters would rarely come out, unless they are controlled. They would rather eat trees in the mountains to get nutrients than people without cultivation."

"…"

"Those who sneak into the capital might be more likely to be witches," Ouyang Mingjing said to her carefully.

Gu Chaoyan listened to Ouyang Mingjing's words carefully.

He had said everything clearly, though the speech wasn't long.

He was implying that someone was releasing the monsters on purpose to hurt people in the capital.

Who might that person be?

It must be Elder Qianji.

Also, he even told her the truth.

Monsters did not come down to the towns where human beings lived, but witches would. So that was what they should watch out for later.

Gu Chaoyan suddenly felt relieved, but then again, not that relieved.

Witches were not easy to deal with either.

She turned around and saw Ouyang Mingjing, who was standing where he was, and asked in confusion. "Why?"

Ouyang Mingjing showed confusion.

"Why did you help me and tell me all of this?" Gu Chaoyan asked.

After all… she already told him what she thought.

Ouyang Mingjing smiled. "Maybe because I don't want to become your enemy?"

"…"

"I understand what you meant, but I still want to help you, because I want you to owe me something, so that in the future, you can help me back and return the favor."

Ouyang Mingjing sounded very sincere, totally different from the imposing attitude he used the other day.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

His proposal wasn't over the top. If she could be of any help, she would definitely do it, but marrying him was impossible.

Hearing that, Gu Chaoyan took a step backwards, saying, "Of course."

Ouyang Mingjing smiled brightly.

He gestured to Gu Chaoyan, indicating that she could leave.

Gu Chaoyan greeted him back, turned around and walked into the wagon.

***

The following day, the empty street was filled with people again. Civilians were out. They heard that the monsters had been killed, and the bodies were all carried to Xinlin Mansion.

Many people felt quite guilty for having accused the Phoenix Girl of not helping them. They were all going to Xinlin Mansion to apologize.

Ouyang Mingjing did not care about those civilians. Standing among the dead monster corpses, he came to Xinlin Mansion, smiling brightly.
