Chapter 127 Somewhat different
"What's wrong with you?" Sui Jiu jumped onto the bed and asked sincerely.
Just now, Jiang Tingwan was once again on the edge of a knife and ignored her reminder. Fortunately, Mu Yun did not continue asking, otherwise she would really be worried that Jiang Tingwan would tell her everything.
"I can't explain it, I can't explain it..." A muffled voice came from under the quilt, difficult to speak.
"You can't explain it clearly, but you are really brave enough to say it. I don't know about other hosts, but you should be the first person who has revealed almost all of your situation." Sui Jiu still can't understand Jiang Tingwan's thinking.
Should we say that she is brave and careful, or that she is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger and just relied on recklessness throughout the whole process?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tingwan sat up and began to reflect, "These people are too smart. I didn't consider this when I was writing before because I didn't have personal experience. Now I know how it is possible for one person to act like another person. Even if Bai Wangshu is a character created by me, she is surrounded by people from the book. It's only a matter of time before she is exposed."
Listening to Jiang Tingwan's words, Sui Jiu was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said, "You do have some truth in what you said."
Jiang Tingwan glanced at her and his expression became serious. "I am a little suspicious now. Cang Shuzi and Bai Wangshu are not the only two people who can find out that I am not Bai Wangshu."
"What do you mean?" Sui Jiu asked like someone who didn't know the situation.
Seeing Suijiu's expression, Jiang Tingwan got angry for no apparent reason. "What do you mean? You're asking me about this. According to common sense, shouldn't your system have reminded me of this? Why is it the other way around now?"
Sui Jiu shrank his neck guiltily. "This is also my first time to carry out such a mission. I will gain experience later."
Jiang Tingwan: "You are using me as a training ground."
"Experience needs to be accumulated. We are in the same boat, right? If I hadn't fallen out of your sea of consciousness, I wouldn't have to communicate with you through questioning."
Jiang Tingwan rolled his eyes, sighed, and replied: "I can't really explain it. After all, this is a world of immortal cultivation. There are settings such as possession, parasitism, and resurrection. It is easy to understand that Bai Wangshu has another soul in his body."
Jiang Tingwan spoke simply, already prepared to be discovered by the next person. As long as this set of rhetoric could deal with Mu Yunzhong, it would be enough.
"By the way, how is your injury?" Jiang Tingwan asked.
"It will take five days to recover... You actually care about me?" Sui Jiu didn't expect this.
"I just feel that with you in my sea of consciousness, we can have an extra line of defense." Jiang Tingwan said honestly.
"I knew you weren't that kind. I couldn't help myself last time, but next time I will make a system honestly."
Suijiu seemed to have made up his mind, but Jiang Tingwan grasped the key and asked.
"What kind of system are you? Why do I feel like you're more like an intelligent spirit beast?"
"Whatever you think." Sui Jiu turned his head away without replying and simply lay down and fell asleep.
Looking at the little fox in front of her, Jiang Tingwan's eyes were filled with doubt for a long time. She vaguely felt that although her system was simple-minded, it possessed human intelligence and emotions, and was not a mechanical task system.
Not only does it not issue tasks to advance the plot, it also does not have any rewards or bonuses. It only takes the companionship aspect to the extreme.
Not only that, her journey through a book is somewhat different from the development trend in traditional book-traveling novels.
A lot of things happened that day, which made Jiang Tingwan think a lot that night. Everything was changing in an unknown place.
The black night passed slowly as she thought about it, and the morning light shone into the room through the window.
There was a knock at the door. Although Jiang Tingwan was a little surprised, he still went to open the door. When he opened the door, it was none other than Wen Bumian, whom he hadn't seen for two days.
"Wen Bumian? You're back."
"You don't seem to care whether I come back or not." Wen Bumian looked into her eyes and said. After two days of separation, there seemed to be something different in his eyes.
Jiang Tingwan was slightly startled, then denied it with a smile, "How could that be? You don't even know what happened in the past two days."
She welcomed Wen Bumian in and thoughtfully poured him a cup of tea.
Wen Bumian walked into the room and sat down at the table. He also saw the red fox sleeping soundly beside the bed. "It just so happens that I have something to say to you."
"Then you speak first!" Jiang Tingwan continued his words, also wanting to know what he had done in the past two days.
Wen Bumian looked at her in surprise, took the tea she handed over and took a sip.
"I believe you also noticed the abnormality of the Thunder Python in the Colosseum that day. These two days, I met with the leader of the Cangyu Sect, Yu Tianyi. He hopes that I can help them cultivate a group of high-level spirit beasts with elixirs and magic."
Wen Bumian frankly explained the reasons behind the respectful and curious looks from the Cangyu Sect. Jiang Tingwan slightly widened his eyes and said, "So, the Thunder Python might have taken a special elixir to gain such strength?"
"I asked him this question, but he didn't give me a direct answer."
"Why? He's asking you for something, but he's still holding something back from you."
Wen Bumian sighed slightly, "Because I rejected his request. Since I can't be his ally, he naturally has no reason to tell me everything."
Jiang Tingwan thought for a moment, added tea to the cup in his hand, and asked him with a smile, "But I believe that you must have other ways to get the news!"
Wen Bumian glanced at her, drank the second cup with satisfaction, and replied: "They invited me to be a guest in Cangyu Sect, so I stayed to find out a little. Yu Hongluan was very open with me, and I also learned that Cangyu Sect had sent half of its forces out of the city and brought back a group of demon beasts of different realms and types. The Thunder Python the day before yesterday was just one of them."
"You used your beauty to lure me?" Jiang Tingwan successfully diverted the focus, causing Wen Bumian to glance at her sideways.
"Were you always distracted during class when you were a kid?"
"How do you know?" Jiang Tingwan exclaimed.
Wen Bumian pressed his forehead speechlessly and could only emphasize, "The point is not what trick I used, but that Moyou Valley has gathered a group of monsters of different types and realms, and one of them has undergone a mutation in full view of everyone."
Jiang Tingwan said: "I'm sorry, I'm just thinking out of habit. I'm just curious about what kind of people sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls like nowadays..."
Wen Bumian's expression perfectly showed that he really would thank him.
After a brief deviation, Jiang Tingwan instantly returned to the main topic, "Go on, what next?"
"..."
Wen Bu Mian sighed again and asked, "Where were we talking about?"
"Speaking of which, the Cangyu Sect brought back a batch of demon beasts of different types and realms from outside the city." Although Jiang Tingwan was prone to going astray, he accurately summarized the news brought by Wen Bumian.
"Yes, from what I know about this world, all intelligent monsters will stay away from their own species and practice on their own. It is rare to see them gather in one place in large numbers, regardless of species."
Wen Bumian returned to the main topic, and Jiang Tingwan asked curiously, "Do you also know about the habits of monsters?"
Wen Bumian replied: "Alchemists also add some materials from monsters during the process of refining medicine. The original body's memory naturally retains the research on monsters."
When faced with the issue of being treated differently despite being in the same book again, Jiang Tingwan was now able to face it rationally and calmly, "What are you doubting?"
After a slight pause, Wen Bumian stated his conclusion: "I suspect someone is using elixirs to feed monsters."
"Are you talking about Zizai Sect?" Jiang Tingwan looked at him, with repeated shock and thought in his eyes. After all, only Zizai Sect had such strength.
"I'm not sure yet. Last time the Thunder Python summoned fog and lightning, I couldn't see clearly whether its body was affected by the elixir. Only by going to the Colosseum again and seeing more monsters can I answer my doubts."
Wen Bumian expressed his speculation, but Jiang Tingwan frowned slightly and looked at the person opposite her in confusion. She couldn't help but ask, "You, oh no, your original body actually refined so many pills? You don't feel bad about feeding them to monsters?"
Wen Bumian also seemed to have not thought about this question. He sank his eyes and thought carefully, "In the memory I inherited, he did nothing but refine pills. I really don't know the exact number."
Jiang Tingwan withdrew his gaze, his eyes showing a look of surprise, and he fell into deep thought.
"Let's talk about you." After explaining his information, the person on the other side asked Jiang Tingwan, "What happened to you in the past two days?"
