Chapter 549
But I still can't quite believe it.
Looking at Ling Yanyan, he couldn't help but ask.
"This was all a lie, wasn't it? You're not one of the tree spirit's accomplices, are you?"
Nie Xiaoqian had been so badly wronged that she simply couldn't believe that the tree demon that had been haunting her all along would really disappear.
Ling Yanyan was truly baffled.
But I still patiently talked to him.
“I know you have suffered a lot of persecution over the years, but I think the bell just now has given you the answer.”
Nie Xiaoqian's gaze was still wandering.
"No, no, this must all be a lie. Only I know that the tree spirit once told me that he had no enemies and that he had a powerful backer."
At this point, Ling Yanyan couldn't help but feel sorry for Nie Xiaoqian.
"Indeed, he has a powerful backer behind him, and he's still alive."
At this point, Nie Xiaoqian's face showed a knowing look.
"See, I was right. I told you long ago that the tree demon's powerful backer is practically invincible. So as long as the tree demon's backer is alive, the tree demon will never die. Now you can tell me whether the tree demon's backer is dead or not. Only then can I believe you."
These words left Ling Yanyan momentarily speechless.
"I can only tell you that his backer is indeed alive, but the tree demon is dead."
Nie Xiaoqian watched as Ling Yanyan persisted.
My heart couldn't help but soften a little.
He opened his mouth and spoke to Ling Yanyan.
"Give me a reason to believe you."
Ling Yanyan took out a jade pendant from his person to prove his identity.
Upon seeing the jade pendant, Nie Xiaoqian's eyes flickered a few times.
Then he spoke to Ling Yanyan.
"Okay, I believe you, but I need to shake the bell again to confirm."
Immediately afterwards, Nie Xiaoqian became bolder, and her movements of shaking the bell became more and more exaggerated.
The bell rang louder and louder.
It could be heard throughout the entire forest.
But the tree spirit was still nowhere to be seen.
Nie Xiaoqian believed it completely.
He couldn't help but ask Ling Yanyan an excited question.
"How on earth did you do that?"
Ling Yanyan looked at Nie Xiaoqian with some modesty.
"This is still an easy thing for me, but if it were the Black Mountain Demon, it would probably be much more difficult."
Nie Xiaoqian nodded.
She couldn't help but feel grateful to Ling Yanyan.
"Thank you so much this time. I don't know how to repay you. But I will do anything for you from now on."
Ling Yanyan shook his head.
"There's no need for you to work like a slave. It's all up to you. Repay me however you wish."
Ling Yanyan then passed the question directly to Nie Xiaoqian.
After hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian began to ponder what Ling Yanyan meant by those words.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out.
Then, Nie Xiaoqian suddenly thought of something.
He couldn't help but speak to Ling Yanyan.
"By the way, I'm afraid I'll need your help with something else."
Ling Yanyan was somewhat puzzled.
"What's the deal?"
Nie Xiaoqian felt a little guilty; in fact, she was hesitant to tell him what favor she needed his help with.
But in the end, I gritted my teeth and spoke up.
"Actually, the favor I asked you to do for me might be very simple for you, but for me, it is a very, very difficult thing."
After listening to him say so much, Ling Yanyan spoke to him.
"I understand what you're saying. Just let me know if there's anything I can help you with. If it's something I can do, I'll definitely help you."
Nie Xiaoqian was extremely grateful.
"Could you please help me find my urn?"
Ling Yanyan nodded and agreed immediately.
Because he did know where Nie Xiaoqian's urn was.
"Okay, I promise you."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqian jumped up immediately.
"Thank you so much. Don't worry, I will definitely repay you."
Ling Yanyan turned his head and gave him instructions.
"However, you must stay close to me on this journey, otherwise if we encounter the Black Mountain Demon, it may be difficult to deal with him, since my helpers are not here."
Nie Xiaoqian nodded firmly.
"Don't worry, I'll do whatever you say and I definitely won't run away."
As she spoke, Nie Xiaoqian made a gesture of swearing an oath.
Ling Yanyan was amused by his appearance.
"There's no need to go to that extent. Just make sure you stick close to me."
"Okay, okay, don't worry."
After saying that, the two of them started walking towards the urn containing the ashes.
Along the way, Ling Yanyan led Nie Xiaoqian along back paths.
Because it's easy to encounter the Black Mountain Demon on the main road.
Fortunately, Ling Yanyan had marked it in advance.
However, the journey was quite long, and Nie Xiaoqian was exhausted after walking halfway through.
The speed has all decreased.
Ling Yanyan figured it out.
He then offered to do so.
"Let's rest for a while before we go."
Before they had even rested for a short while, Nie Xiaoqian was really afraid that if they stayed too long, they would attract the Black Mountain Demon.
He decided to speak to Ling Yanyan.
"Forget it, let's hurry up and get going, or we'll be doomed if we really run into the Black Mountain Demon."
Ling Yanyan nodded.
