Chapter 355 Asking for help
She subconsciously slowed down her pace, and with a flash of her figure, she quietly hid in the dark, staring at the servant vigilantly.
Just at this moment, an elegant man walked slowly towards the teleportation array with a little girl about the same age as Xiao Wanwan.
The servant's eyes kept drifting towards the little girl, as if he was carefully identifying something.
Seeing this, Xiao Wanwan's heart suddenly tightened, and she thought to herself:
"Looking at his appearance, could it be that this servant is actually a subordinate of that evil monk?"
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but become more cautious, holding her breath and standing there observing for a long time.
Only then did Xiao Wanwan realize what was wrong with her feeling.
The servant guarding the teleportation array had a cultivation level far higher than hers, and she had no idea of his cultivation level.
The servants who used to guard the teleportation array were all people with extremely low cultivation and poor physical talents.
Xiao Wanwan became alert and could not guarantee whether the person guarding the teleportation array was the evil cultivator.
For the sake of her own safety, Xiao Wanwan decided not to go back for the time being.
She quickly left the teleportation array, cursing the evil cultivator who abducted her in her heart.
If he hadn't taken away all the things on her, she would have used the communication stone to send a message to Master Yu Yuan long ago.
Fortunately, she had left her storage collar in the Holy Palace before, otherwise the loss would have been huge.
After thinking it over, Xiao Wanwan realized that there was really no other solution at this moment.
After a slight hesitation, she walked towards the inn where the round-faced innkeeper lived.
As she entered the store, she immediately saw the round-faced shopkeeper sitting behind the counter, concentrating on calculating the accounts.
"Shopkeeper Grandpa!"
Hearing this shout, the round-faced shopkeeper who was concentrating on counting the accounts couldn't help but look up.
When he saw Xiao Wanwan standing in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he stood up in surprise.
"Oh my, it's you, little girl!"
He said this with a smile on his face, and walked out of the counter in a hurry.
Coming closer, the round-faced shopkeeper looked Xiao Wanwan up and down, then asked curiously.
"Little girl, why are you alone? Where are all your companions?"
As he spoke, he stretched his neck and peered out the door for a few times, but he didn't see anyone else, and a wave of doubts arose in his heart.
Facing the round-faced shopkeeper's question, Xiao Wanwan pursed her lips and replied after a moment's hesitation:
"Shopkeeper, I came here to discuss something with you."
Seeing this, the round-faced shopkeeper immediately greeted him warmly:
"Oh? Then don't stand here, little girl. Let's go to the backyard and talk slowly."
After saying that, he led Xiao Wanwan towards the backyard of the inn.
When Hongyi saw Xiao Wanwan, she quickly asked her to sit down.
"Little girl, what do you want to tell me?"
The round-faced shopkeeper sat opposite Xiao Wanwan, his expression casual but with a hint of anticipation.
"Shopkeeper Grandpa, this is what happened."
Xiao Wanwan explained in detail to the shopkeeper Yuan Fang and the two people in red about how she was kidnapped.
In order to avoid worrying them, she did not tell them about Nichang for the time being.
Then he expressed his own guess.
"I see. Why was the attendant guarding the teleportation array replaced?"
The round-faced shopkeeper looked thoughtful.
"Master Shopkeeper, the only solution now is to ask the Master to come here to pick me up."
"This is simple. You can stay here for now. I'll go to Brahma Academy and invite the headmaster over!"
The round-faced shopkeeper said without hesitation.
Since the little girl had no relatives or friends with them, she agreed to help him find his daughter.
Now that the little girl is in trouble, he naturally won't stand idly by.
Xiao Wanwan's eyes showed surprise, and she saw that the two of them still looked worried.
She finally felt sorry and revealed some information.
"Shopkeeper Grandpa, Red-clothed Grandma! There's news about Nichang's whereabouts."
"really?"
The round-faced shopkeeper and the man in red stood up together, with expressions of unbelievable ecstasy on their faces.
The two of them looked at Xiao Wanwan with burning eyes, which made her scalp tingle, and she nodded slowly.
"Well...it's just that there are some special circumstances right now. It won't be long before she comes back."
"Little girl, what's the special situation? What happened to Nishang?"
When Hongyi heard Xiao Wanwan say this, she couldn't help but hold her hand tightly, looking excited.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper with a round face hurriedly grabbed the woman in red and comforted her softly.
"Old lady, don't get excited! Didn't the little girl say that it won't be long before our Nichang will be back?"
His voice trembled a little. No matter what his daughter looked like now, as long as she could come back safely, that would be enough.
Hongyi immediately loosened her grip on Xiao Wanwan's hand, with an apologetic look on her face.
"Little girl, I'm sorry! I was just too excited and lost control for a moment."
"Grandma Red, I understand."
Xiao Wanwan looked at the couple in front of her who cared so much about their child, and felt mixed emotions.
Perhaps she has never had a strong sense of family ties, whether in the real world or in this world of books.
She didn't get the love from her biological parents.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wanwan couldn't help but recall what Immortal Qingning had said to her.
She frowned slightly, her mind feeling even more confused.
Immortal Qingning actually said that she was her daughter. How is that possible?
Xiao Wanwan sneered and shook her head.
That place should be an illusion of the Holy Palace. She never believed it was real.
"Little girl, I'll find you a room to rest first, and we can discuss other things later."
The round-faced shopkeeper suppressed his excitement and turned around to see that Xiao Wanwan looked tired.
He felt a little sorry for the little girl in front of him, who encountered danger alone and walked back thousands of miles by herself.
She must have suffered a lot along the way.
She is still a child.
"Okay, thank you, shopkeeper!"
Xiao Wanwan also felt exhausted at this time. She had been traveling for days and had encountered so many things.
Her spirit was always tense.
The round-faced shopkeeper returned to the counter, found a room number and handed it to Xiao Wanwan.
"Good boy, go and rest!"
Xiao Wanwan took the doorplate, thanked him, and returned to her room to lie down in her clothes.
Countless images flashed through her mind from time to time, and for a moment her mind felt a mess.
Before she knew it, Xiao Wanwan fell asleep.
Maybe I think about it every day and dream about it at night.
Xiao Wanwan saw her parents in the real world again. They both looked sad as they stood in front of a tombstone.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but walk over quickly out of curiosity.
Her parents had always been at odds with each other. In her few memories, they would always quarrel whenever they met.
Such a harmonious scene as this one is really rare.
