Guardian of the Spirit

On the night after catching the ghost elves, Jiang Yuan took Bai Sinian to a restaurant to reward himself with a good meal.

Bai Sinian stared at the table full of dishes in a daze.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to eat?" Jiang Yuan asked doubtfully.

"How to eat this...? It's all shells."

Bai Sinian looked at the artificially bred crabs, his expression as usual, and there was no trace of embarrassment at all.

However, only he knows in his heart whether Bai Sinian is really not embarrassed at all.

"..."

Jiang Yuan never expected that Bai Sinian didn't know how to eat crabs. Had he never eaten crabs before?

It seems normal that he has never eaten it, because Gu Jiangyuan observed that Bai Sinian seems to have very little understanding of external things, including the world of elves.

How should I put it? Jiang Yuan felt that he was like a person who grew up in a relatively remote area.

Bai Sinian didn't know how to eat crabs, so Jiang Yuan had no choice but to teach him step by step.

Uh...has he awakened some kind of strange attribute?

Jiang Yuan felt that he seemed to be walking further and further down the road of an old father. First he raised elves, flowers and plants, and now he changed to raising people.

He should be awarded the Three Good Dad Award, well, that's right.

"By the way, there's a question I've always wanted to ask: why do you know so little about the outside world?"

After knowing each other for more than a week, Jiang Yuan found that Bai Sinian was not as difficult to get along with as he seemed.

On the contrary, Bai Sinian's personality can be said to be very easy-going. No matter what Jiang Yuan said or did, he never refuted it at all.

It was precisely because he got to know Bai Sinian a little bit that Jiang Yuan had the confidence to ask this question. If it had been the first time they met, Jiang Yuan would never have said this.

Bai Sinian lowered his head and remained silent, without replying.

"If you find it inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask." Jiang Yuan continued.

"Actually, it's nothing."

Bai Sinian raised his head and replied expressionlessly: "I was taken away by the Ice and Snow Sect when I was a child and cut off all contact with the outside world."

Jiang Yuan was stunned when he heard this.

Arrested by Bingxuemen?

"Five months ago, I escaped from the Ice and Snow Gate. My understanding of the outside world was only five months old."

Bai Sinian's words are concise and to the point.

Although Bai Sinian said very little, Jiang Yuan also made some things clear.

Orphans do not know their birth address. If Bai Sinian was very young when he was taken away, it is normal for him not to remember this.

Bai Sinian said that people from the Bingxue Sect might guess that his surname is Bai.

So, during the time he stayed at Bingxuemen, did Bai Sinian have no name?

Did he forget his real name and only remember his surname Bai?

Oh my god, it’s so confusing. I don’t think about it anymore. It’s a waste of brain cells.

Jiang Yuan drove away all the thoughts in his mind and concentrated on eating.

As for other more things, what was the purpose of Bingxuemen taking Bai Sinian away, Jiang Yuan did not continue to ask.

Obviously, it must not be a good thing, otherwise Bai Sinian would not have been holding on to the disciple of the Bingxue Sect. Asking him would only bring back bad memories for him.

Uh...bad memories seem to have been brought back?

"Jiang Yuan."

Halfway through the meal, Bai Sinian suddenly spoke as he thought of something.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Yuan bit the crab claw with a blank look on his face.

"nothing……"

Bai Sinian paused for a moment, then shook his head.

Jiang Yuan: "???"

What riddles are you playing?

…

In the next few days, the things that need to be done, the things that need to be recuperated, and the things that should be trained are all carried out in an orderly manner.

Jiang Yuan was called over by the Elf Association and worked with a master trainer to handle the entrance to the spirit world.

Of course, Jiang Yuan's work would not be in vain. Wang Yao and Wu Qi mobilized their own network resources to help Jiang Yuan find a new residence.

I have to find a new place to live, but the money for catching those ten ghost elves must not be less than Jiang Yuan, and I have to pay what I have to pay.

The market price of ten ghost-type elves is close to 10 million, plus the manpower fee for temporarily calling in to catch the elves, Jiang Yuan is directly making money, counting the money until he is weak.

Oh no, there is no cash to count at all. Cash is rarely used nowadays. Basically, I use a certain letter or a certain treasure to transfer money. Money is just a string of numbers.

However, this series of numbers makes people feel very happy and makes them feel more confident.

…

Half a month later, one night in early April.

Jiang Yuan stared at the elf eggs on the table and fell into deep thought again.

This little broken egg has a moth in its mouth again.

Before, the little broken egg was still black, red, and blue, but now these colors have all faded away, turning into yellow and white.

Not only did the color change, the vitality in the elf egg became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that it was about to hatch.

"Yellow and white, it absorbs the power of the fairy stone slab. It must be of the fairy type. So which fairy's egg is this thing?"

Jiang Yuan began to search for information on the Internet to see if there was any elf with the right number.

After searching and searching, Jiang Yuan found a very similar elf, and if nothing unexpected happened, it was it.

"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I thought it was Kapu with different colors? Diedie, I didn't expect you to be such a little guy."

Jiang Yuan complained at the egg.

He said he was disgusted, but Jiang Yuan had a terrible guess in his heart.

This elf is probably not as simple as imagined. It can even be said that it is a very special existence.

Forget it, we won’t know until it hatches whether it’s that elf or not.

…

April 13th.

It has been more than a month since Bai Sinian moved into Jiang Yuan's house to now.

Within a month, the antidote given by Luo Manman completely removed the poison from Bai Sinian, Raichu and Latios, and there was no need to go to her for a second review.

Now that the poison has been cured, Bai Sinian has no reason to stay at Jiang Yuan's house anymore. He packs up the things he bought in the past month and bids farewell to Jiang Yuan.

"Thank you for this more than a month."

Bai Sinian solemnly thanked him.

The month of detoxification was considered the happiest month in Bai Sinian's life. He did many things that he had never done before and only dared to hope for.

Whether it's eating normally, resting normally, or taking the elves out for fun with Jiang Yuan in their free time.

Even the simplest and most common things were something he had never dared to imagine before.

So for more than a month, Bai Sinian was very grateful to Jiang Yuan.

"There's nothing to thank you for."

Jiang Yuan waved his hand.

At the beginning, Jiang Yuan provided Bai Sinian with a place to live and take care of him on the condition of the ice stone slab. In fact, it was just for each of them to get what they needed.

But later on, whether it was taking Bai Sinian to catch ghost elves to make extra money, or going out for fun, Jiang Yuan recognized Bai Sinian as a friend and was willing to do it.

Therefore, there is no question of thanking or not thanking you.

"Anyway, I still have to thank you."

Bai Sinian still said thank you.

Only Bai Sinian and his elves knew how difficult their situation was a month ago.

If he hadn't really taken the plunge, Bai Sinian wouldn't have sought help from Jiang Yuan, whom he had just met.

They were at home all over the world and had no fixed residence. As a result, both humans and elves were poisoned, and they were in a ghostly place in the spiritual world where ghost elves were rampant.

In the spirit world, most of them are ghost-type elves who kill without batting an eye. Their lives are in danger at any time. If Jiang Yuan hadn't taken them in, they would have died.

This kindness cannot be offset by borrowing holy objects, and they simply cannot repay it.

When leaving, Bai Sinian left a promise.

"If you need help with anything, call me. As long as I'm not dead, I'll be here anytime."

Jiang Yuan looked at Bai Sinian's retreating figure and muttered: "Huh, do I have a reliable thug now?"

The light ghost nodded wildly.

That's right, thugs can be called in to fight in groups and to calm down the scene.

"As for thugs, I actually don't lack much. Your combined combat effectiveness is quite strong. Plus, as a humanoid elf like me, I'm not necessarily weaker than Bai Sinian's overall combat effectiveness."

Jiang Yuan looked at the elves around him.

"That is."

Latios puffed up his small chest and looked very confident.

"Mumbling."

The light ghost points to the crying mask.

Stop talking. Didn't you agree to help Crying Mask evolve? Why don't you leave quickly.

"That's right, let's go to the Hezhong area."

Jiang Yuan waved.

…

In more than a month, Jiang Lin and the others have successfully moved all their homes and assets out of the spirit world and placed them in the Hezhong area.

Jiang Yuan entered a domestic connecting channel to the Hezhong area and flew out of China's territory in Hezhong.

Then, Jiang Yuan rode Latios and flew along the coastline for more than three hours, passing through the border of the two countries, and arrived at a country called Moyou Castle.

Jiang Lin moved to a new residence on a corner of the coast of Moyoubao Kingdom.

Jiang Yuan took a map and showed Latios the way to a manor not far from the seaside.

There are two dead trees over three meters high planted at the entrance of the manor. The gate is open and seems to be undefended.

However, as soon as they sensed the arrival of someone, the two dead trees immediately stood up, opened their red single eyes, and stared at the outsider warily.

"Stop, don't fly."

Jiang Yuan jumped off Latios, said hello, "It's me."

The two rotten wood demons realized it was Jiang Yuan, narrowed their eyes, and waved branches cheerfully to greet Jiang Yuan.

"It's only been a month, but it's quite complete."

Jiang Yuan looked around at the stone walls surrounding the manor and above the door of the manor.

The three lamp ghosts emerged from the shadows and looked around the door curiously with Latios.

One look at this manor and you can tell that it is of high quality.

The entrance to the manor is very wide, a full ten meters long. There are two heavy giant iron doors used to close the door.

This iron gate is a little different from ordinary iron gates. There is an extremely cold atmosphere permeating the iron gate, giving ordinary people and elves a very bad feeling.

I thought it might be dangerous, but the light ghost was still itchy and wanted to touch it.

"Hey, you don't want to die."

Jiang Yuan hurriedly stopped the light ghost, a mean guy.

If he guessed correctly, the iron gate was made of the dead bodies of the One Scabbard clan, and had some characteristics of ghost elves.

Not only that, there are various curses left on the iron gate. If ordinary elves accidentally come into contact with it, they will definitely die.

On both sides of the iron gate, there are stone walls extending to unknown directions. This stone wall is not a good thing.

Jiang Yuan was probably built using parts of the Dune Dolls, Clay Dolls, and the Galar Crying Mask clan, and there were also curses on them.

Gates and walls are not scary, but the airspace is really scary.

Jiang Yuan could clearly sense that with the gate and wall as the boundary, a powerful barrier with a curse was set up in the airspace above.

Breaking in hastily from above will trigger the barrier's defense, and even people from the spirit world will not be able to get out completely.

This is why Jiang Yuan asked Latios to stop and not fly directly into the manor.

"It feels like a military base."

Jiang Yuan complained as he walked into the door.

A luxurious three-story villa immediately caught Jiang Yuan's eyes.

A Gengar that Jiang Yuan didn't recognize floated over from the villa. It looked at Jiang Yuan blankly, and then flew to the deadwood demon at the door to confirm Jiang Yuan's identity.

Jiang Yuan and the elves entered the villa and walked around twice. After Gengar learned Jiang Yuan's identity, he led Jiang Yuan and flew deep into the manor.

Jiang Lin is not in this villa now, she is deep in the manor, on the other side by the sea.

"What is this villa for?"

Jiang Yuan continued to ride Latios, followed Gengar, and asked Gengar telepathically.

Gengar explained babblingly.

This villa was built by the owner to receive business partners and discuss business with others.

"Just talking about business? Dressed up so luxuriously?"

Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.

He just took a look and found that the things inside the villa were all high-end goods. The construction price of this set was shocking.

During the flight, Jiang Yuan looked down at the scenery below. Below were the endless black mountains. There were many ghost elves on the mountains.

Most of these black mountains are mines where dark stones are buried. They were all moved out of the spiritual world by Jiang Lin and moved here.

In addition to the Dark Stone Mine, there are also the Tree Fruit Mountain and the mountain peaks specially used to raise ghost elves and provide them with a home.

"This place is really big."

Jiang Yuan gave him a cursory glance.

Passing through the mountains and approaching the seaside, Jiang Yuan saw an old castle full of ancient charm.

In the Hezhong area 2,500 years ago, the ancient castle culture was in its flourishing period, and ancient castles were built almost everywhere.

Therefore, Jiang Lin bought an old castle in the Hezhong area. Jiang Yuan didn't find it strange, since she had plenty of money anyway.

The castle is located on the seaside. Not far from the castle, there is another villa, but this villa is much more upscale than the one outside.

This is a manor-style villa, which looks extremely majestic from the outside and feels no worse than the castle next to it.

Of course, the interior of the villa is no worse than the castle.

The walls are decorated with sun coral branches and magic coral. The two colors are mixed together, which is pleasing to the eye.

The ground is covered with circles of bear skin dyed white. Standing on it, it feels like stepping on a ball of cotton, which is extremely soft.

The large suspended ceiling above the head is decorated with agate from agate jellyfish and stinging jellyfish, as if dotted with red stars.

In addition, there are many low-key and luxurious decorations, including ice rock monster tables, Diya sea lion leather sofas, etc.

Entering the villa, Jiang Yuan and the elves looked at the extremely exquisite decoration of the house and couldn't help but secretly gasp.

"I went and made my home so luxurious. It's true that poverty has limited my imagination."

Jiang Yuan could feel the wind called poverty blowing randomly on his face.
