Chapter 887: Nangong (Supplementary for 15,200 monthly votes from the month before last)

Inside the Ghost Market.

Rows of lanterns hung in mid-air, emitting a ghastly green light.

Aaron passed stall after stall, his eyes filled with disappointment.

He wandered around for a circle, but ended up with nothing.

"This is also normal; it's impossible for me to find a Strange Art item just by going out for a stroll... What would that make the efforts of the Qiankun Society?"

The Qiankun Society had exhausted their heart's blood to find the whereabouts of a Strange Art Classic—the Jingshi Book.

And without hesitation, they immediately attacked the county seat, only then obtaining this classic.

Now the trouble is huge; no matter what happens after returning, they will definitely be punished.

He turned back, performed a salute, and discovered that the little girl with carved-jade features was staring at him, her pitch-black, shining eyes seemingly carrying a wisp of strange radiance: "You seem to be a very formidable person... My name is Nangong Miaomiao, what is your name?"

The doll stall owner saw this and immediately pushed his wares: "The dolls here are of superior quality, crafted by a skilled Master imitating the foreign dolls of the Western Barbarians. If you like them, Miss, just take one for ten dollars."

Aaron shifted his footsteps and hurriedly chased after her.

She had a pair of large, pitch-black, shining eyes, as if she were full of interest in this Ghost Market, her little legs running like the wind.

Some of them were even granted the title of Different-Surname King because of this!

"It's Strange Power!"

Aaron cracked his mouth, revealing a big smile, but hidden behind his mask, no one saw it; he turned and walked into the crowd.

Just as he turned a corner, his footsteps paused, and his expression changed.

"But why come to Jinhu suddenly? Could it be..."

Although their young miss was still young, as servants and guards, they had to be vigilant in advance!

After all, in Great Xuan, girls could be married off at fourteen!

"This young lady truly has an eye for quality."

Since the other party wouldn't give him a chance, then so be it.

"Still moving..."

Because the Strange Persons in the world today all stand on the side of the Xuan Court!

The Xuan Court's regard for the Jingshi Book was perhaps even higher than he had imagined!

Aaron thought of many things in an instant, his pupils involuntarily shrinking.

"What's more... the world is so big, and this is not the only book of Strange Art! I'll just go find others."

Did he really think that the poor scholar seducing the wealthy young lady as described in storybooks and newspapers was the norm?

Guards who encountered such things would definitely beat the man half to death or even kill him—this depended on the power of the master's family.

The little girl said, holding the doll in her hand.

"Miss, we should go back."

At this moment, Aaron coughed, wanting to make an appearance.

The little maid in the emerald dress called out first, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws with a fierce expression, but to Aaron, she was just a little milk kitten.

She had also watched too many plays about talented scholars and beautiful ladies, and was terrified that this masked young man would come over and abduct her young miss.

And behind her followed two burly guards and a maid; at a glance, it looked like a wealthy family's young miss out on an excursion.

The two guards' eyes looked as if they were looking at a dead man.

Thinking of this, Aaron leaned forward, preparing to examine the other party carefully.

Aaron feigned surprise: "Why are you blocking my path... I also like dolls and was just thinking of sharing some insights with this young lady."

Nangong Miaomiao clutched a doll, saying quite lovingly.

The Chief Rudder Master Cheng Dongnan was still on the run even now, sitting at the top of the wanted list!

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll go..."

For this reason, they also encountered the powerful pursuit of the Xuan Court.

"Xuan Court Strange Person?"

Coming here this time was just with the idea of taking a few swings at the tree to see if any dates would fall.

Aaron took a few turns, his footsteps suddenly quickening, preparing to leave the scope of the Ghost Market.

Jumping into this whirlpool at this time would not be rational.

Or rather, his disguised identity—Bai Xuan—was one of the ten leaders of the Qiankun Society!

But in that instant, the two guards came to his side, one on the left and one on the right, blocking him out.

Aaron did not hesitate anymore and turned to leave.

"There is no Prince's Mansion in Jinhu. It seems this girl is indeed a descendant of a Different-Surname King; her father and grandfather must be extremely powerful!"

"No, no... I want to play a little longer."

Aaron shifted his footsteps and rushed in the opposite direction of the mark.

"A Strange Art with auxiliary abilities?"

"People from a Prince's Mansion?"

"My name is Baishu!"

The other party was indeed moving, but it wasn't an object, it was a person!

But Baishu could understand it!

Aaron hadn't left more than a few steps when he heard a crisp voice ring out from behind him.

"Bah! Who are you to dare to strike up a conversation with our young miss?"

If it were an ordinary person, they naturally wouldn't understand the meaning within.

"This seems even more terrifying than a direct attack... to actually be able to discover my extraordinary nature?"

"Cough, cough..."

This little girl, could she be a descendant of those Strange Persons?

On the White Wall at this corner, some strange graffiti had been drawn with charcoal by some mischievous child.

"This is an emergency contact method, indicating that there are brothers from the Qiankun Society nearby who need immediate support... Support your head!"

To be precise, it was a little girl of about ten years old.

"Hey, wait a moment..."

"Forget about whatever Jingshi Book; nothing is more important than my own life."

To tell the truth, even if he could beat these two guards, he did not think he could beat this little girl.

Even if he didn't beat her to death, he would have to disfigure her, and then let the young lady's romantic dreams be shattered...

If he had known, he shouldn't have been a busybody and talked about the Ghost Market.

And that little girl was squatting in front of a stall, seemingly very interested in the various small trinkets and cloth dolls on the stall.

"The defenses are very tight..."

Aaron touched the mask on his face and did not force the issue.

If he had originally had any ideas about the Jingshi Book, after arriving in Jinhu, especially after seeing Nangong Miaomiao, he knew that the Profound Court was paying close attention to this matter and might have even dispatched powerful Strange Persons.

After passing through several crowds, he finally saw the source that had attracted his inspiration.

"Either leave, or make a move!"

Aaron immediately thought of the other party's identity.

"This feeling, it can't be wrong..."

Behind her, a little maid dressed in emerald green clothes said with a bitter face.

"So powerful. Judging by the movement technique, they have definitely entered the Heavenly Rank. Two Heavenly Rank experts as bodyguards?"

For him to want to easily pick up a bargain and end up opposing all the efforts the Qiankun Society has made so far, wouldn't that be too dismissive of others?

Just as Aaron had finished walking around and felt that he would return empty-handed tonight, he suddenly looked toward the entrance of the Ghost Market.

At the very moment these two bodyguards moved, he had already seen the embroidered tight-fitting clothes hidden under their outer robes, and even the small Golden Flood Dragon mark embroidered on them.

Aaron walked out of the Ghost Market, his hands like a white crane spreading its wings, and immediately began to sprint.

"The Qiankun Society is also stupid. So many people have been caught, and they are still confident that the previous contact codes haven't been leaked?"
