Chapter 36

Jiang Han's heart was not calm at this moment, his face was dark, and he felt uneasy, even a hint of anger.

The thought of someone watching him made him very uncomfortable, and he wished he could immediately find that person and ask who was behind it all.

But this was just a thought; his strength was not strong enough to even discover the person's whereabouts.

A self-mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth. In a way, he should thank the woman in the black robe for informing him of this matter, but she had misunderstood, thinking that the person was protecting Jiang Han.

Jiang Han reflected that apart from the Wild Wolf Adventure Team, he had not offended anyone, and the Wild Wolf members definitely did not have such strength.

Who could it be? Jiang Han felt a chill in his heart. He did not even know when the person started watching him, nor what they were plotting.

Although he could not see the person, Jiang Han was certain that they were watching him from not far away!

"Damn it!" The feeling of being watched made him very uncomfortable, and the frustration in his heart had no outlet, almost driving him to the brink of madness.

Names of people he had met since he arrived here flashed through his mind, one by one, until he found that only three people had unclear and mysterious identities.

Feng Kuangge! Ji Yang! Ji Yu!

Thinking of these three people, a shadow of gloom flashed in Jiang Han's eyes. Although he could not be 100% sure it was them, there was a high possibility!

Among these three, Jiang Han was most suspicious of Feng Kuangge!

Ji Yu looked like a little girl, with little guile. Ji Yang was more outgoing, and such a person would generally not do this kind of thing.

Only Feng Kuangge, who was quiet and had considerable strength, seemed like a mist to Jiang Han.

Of course, Jiang Han was not foolish enough to think it was Feng Kuangge himself; it might be someone protecting him!

"Best... best not to be one of you!" Coldness flickered in Jiang Han's eyes. He did not like being manipulated, and he disliked being spied on even more!

Unconsciously, he had already arrived at his doorstep. Jiang Han took a deep breath, suppressed his frustration and anger, and forced a smile as he walked in.

"Should be asleep already." Jiang Han thought. Due to the entanglement with the woman in the black robe, it was already very late.

Opening the door, he was momentarily stunned.

Jiang Han's mother was indeed asleep, but... she was sleeping on the side of the table, and on the table was a spread of dishes.

Almost instantly, Jiang Han's heart trembled deeply.

Jiang Han's mother did not understand his current situation, did not know what he was going through. All she knew was that Jiang Han was coming home today, and all she could do was prepare a delicious meal!

Jiang Han felt like crying. He was not easily moved, but the ordinary things Jiang Mother did always made him feel a deep, aching gratitude.

Perhaps sensing something, Jiang Mother woke up, looked up, and saw Jiang Han. She seemed to be in disbelief, rubbed her eyes, and then confirmed it was real, standing up suddenly.

"Xiao Han, you're back!" Jiang Mother's face was full of surprise. Although Jiang Han said he would return today, he had not been seen all evening, and she thought he would come back later.

But after just a short nap, she opened her eyes and saw Jiang Han, making her feel as if she were in a dream, her joy indescribable.

Jiang Han's lips moved, wanting to say something but unable to, and could only nod forcefully.

"Um!"

"Good to be back, good to be back." Jiang Mother wiped her eyes, "The food is cold, rest for a bit, I'll heat it up."

"No need to heat it." Jiang Han quickly stopped her, "It's so late, a bit cold is fine, let's eat it like this."

Saying this, Jiang Han sat down directly, picked up a steamed bun, and stuffed it into his mouth; he was indeed hungry.

"Slow down, slow down." Jiang Mother brought a cup of water and watched Jiang Han eat with a smile.

...

After finishing the meal, Jiang Han let Jiang Mother go to sleep first, and he took the initiative to clean up the dishes, then returned to his room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Jiang Han summoned the system. He wanted to find an item that could reveal the whereabouts of others; not finding the person made him uneasy!

But soon he discovered a helpless fact: those items that could detect the whereabouts of others regardless of their cultivation level were all priced at no less than 10,000 Dream Coins!

This left Jiang Han speechless. To think, he still owed the system several thousand Dream Coins!

Originally, all the Dream Coins Jiang Han earned from selling to the system were to be used to offset the 10,000 Dream Coins, but after a serious negotiation, the system compromised and agreed to use only half of the Dream Coins to offset the debt.

This made Jiang Han marvel for a while, sighing at his own eloquence, which could even persuade an intelligent program.

But because the system had taken away a lot of Dream Coins, Jiang Han currently had only about 2,000 Dream Coins.

"Poor..." Jiang Han complained, searched for a while, and finally spent 288 Dream Coins to buy an infrared glasses.

【Infrared Glasses】 (Glasses)

Description: Glasses from the mechanical world, using infrared ray principles, high-tech manufacturing, capable of detecting biological energy at night.

Level: Black Iron

Exchange: 288 Dream Coins

"I wonder if this thing will work." Jiang Han muttered, putting on the glasses.

In fact, he did not have much hope for the infrared glasses. After all, 288 Dream Coins was not expensive, and even if it could not see the person watching him, it would probably be useful in the future.

The moment he put on the glasses, the world in his eyes changed.

Everything around him turned red and green, the mixed colors making Jiang Han a bit uncomfortable, but he quickly adjusted. He looked down at Xiao Bai, who was sleeping nearby, and saw him turn into a red glowing body, though the redness flickered, which made Jiang Han feel a bit strange.

Jiang Han looked around, then casually glanced up, suddenly pausing. He raised his head and stared at the ceiling, where a faint red glow was barely visible.

"So, you're here." Jiang Han sneered inwardly, surprised that the infrared glasses could really see the person. He then whispered, "Watching me sleep, are you a peeping tom?"

A smile crept onto his lips, Jiang Han stretched his arms, slowly stood up, and walked towards the door.

"It's so hot tonight, sleeping on the roof is not a bad idea."

Jiang Han muttered to himself, using his lightness skill to float like a feather, landing softly on the roof. His steps were very light, making no sound, as he did not want to wake Jiang Mother.

Stopping in the center of the roof, Jiang Han stood silently for a while, casually looking around, seemingly enjoying the night.

"Looking at such a beautiful moon, the poetic inspiration suddenly surges!" Jiang Han looked up at the sky, pondering for a moment, as if he was composing... actually, he just couldn't think of anything.

After a long time, Jiang Han suddenly sighed lightly and recited, "Together we gaze at the bright moon, and shed tears, the same night, the same homesickness, five places apart!"

"Is the moon... as bright as in my hometown?"

Jiang Han thought of Earth, of his family, lovers, and friends, feeling a bit melancholic, but quickly recovered. This was not the time for melancholy.

He chuckled, took out a bottle of Maotai, opened the cap, and sniffed it, looking intoxicated, "With the moon and poetry, how can there be no wine! Ha, it seems I have the potential to be a poet like Li Bai!"

After a few sips, Jiang Han lowered his eyes and sighed again, "Such a beautiful night, such a beautiful scene, and with good wine, but alone, with no one to share it with, truly a regrettable thing!"

Suddenly, he turned his head, looking at the side, a smile that was hard to fathom appearing in his eyes.

"Would you like a few cups?"
