When the words fell, a gloomy and hoarse voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Just now, I could feel that there was a bald donkey who was quite a bit of a Taoist in Liu's house, and the smell of sesame oil was so stinky that I could smell it at the door!" ”

"Monk?" The young man's face froze, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, "Could it be that you have noticed my abnormality?" ”

"Hmph, how is that possible?" The ghostly voice continued, with a bit of disdain, "Although that monk has some Dharma, with my means, he can't detect your abnormality for a while. ”

After a pause, he continued, "It's just that these days, you try not to go back. After all, just in case, it's hard to say if the bald donkey will have any special means. ”

The young man let out a breath of turbidity and nodded indifferently, "Yes." ”

Over the years, he has saved some private money with his hands, although it is not much, but it is enough for him to support until the end of this year's imperial examination.

He didn't have much sense of belonging to the Liu family, and his blood was even weaker. If it weren't for the fact that he is still unable to complete his independence and his mother's last wish to see him officially enter the ancestral home of the Liu family before her death, he would even want to leave the Liu family as soon as he becomes an adult and go alone.

Especially thinking that recently, after the death of the so-called "father", the subordinates also abandoned a little respect for his last disguise, and even deliberately withheld the monthly money this month, verbally abusing and despising a lot, and his resentment deepened in his heart.

"I won't go back to Liu's house until the imperial examination is over! At that time, I want them to use the eight-lift sedan chair to invite me back! ”

He stared ahead, gritting his teeth word by word.

"Haha, ambitious." The voice in his ear laughed and reminded, "But don't forget, although you are smart, you have a weak foundation after all." With your current studies, it is still a bit difficult to get into the top of the case, especially the few famous prodigies I have heard about recently, each of which is threatening......"

Before he finished speaking, the young man flatly refused, "You don't have to say more, I can't go and kill those prodigies and devour their minds for myself." ”

The fact that he cooperated with the owner of this voice in order to win the head of the case does not mean that he will completely abandon his bottom line. Previously, this guy had proposed a very cruel suggestion, saying that if he could eat the hearts of those prodigies with secret methods, then he could obtain the other party's "innate knowledge" to strengthen himself.

In the long run, even the champion will not be a problem!

But he didn't even consider this proposal and rejected it outright.

If you wantonly kill people or even eat people in order to satisfy your selfish desires, what is the difference between that and those terrible demons and monsters?

He would definitely not do it!

"Listen to me, hehe......"

The voice continued to tempt, "I have understood your determination not to kill your kindred. But I have another way, and the effect may be far better than eating the hearts of those prodigies, would you like to try? ”

"What?"

The young man frowned slightly, after all, if he had a chance to win the case, he was unwilling to give up.

"Youkai!"

The voice whispered, "The monster is born of the aura that seizes the heavens and the earth, and its flesh and blood are first-class supplements, much better than those mortal prodigies." Every time you devour a youkai, you become smarter, not only memorable, but also self-taught! “

"At that time, not to mention the head of this small county, even the champion is also within reach!"

The young man's heart moved, and he couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of such a scene, and the ghosts were not humans, if he ate those ghosts himself, maybe he would still eliminate the harm for the people, and it would be more acceptable to think like this.

But when I thought about it, I couldn't help but wonder, "But those monsters, how can I be a mortal?" ”

He has been studying poetry and books for more than ten years, and he has never practiced martial arts at all, so he has no power to restrain the chicken, how can he subdue those demons.

"Haha, I'll help you then......" The voice laughed loudly, and gradually disappeared, leaving the boy alone in the shadow of the corner of the bustling market, gradually falling into deep thought.

In the evening, Su Wanmiao came back earlier than a few days ago, and with a shallow smile on her face, she seemed to be walking a little briskly, and the servant standing beside her could also keenly feel the changes in Miss today, it seemed that something good had happened, and she was in a very good mood.

So much so that even if the maid accidentally broke the vase, she only told her to pay more attention in the future, but she didn't blame it too much, which couldn't help but make many people a little curious.

What is it that makes a young lady happy all day? After all, they have heard that Miss has been like this since she went out in the morning.

Du Bai looked at her expression and felt that he had guessed a few points.

Maybe there was movement in the Liu family, and it was not in vain that he worked hard to run to the Liu family last night.

It's just that it was a little unexpected that when he asked, he saw Wanmiao shaking his head slightly: "Those craftsmen who were poached by the Liu family did not come back." ”

"Huh?"

Du Bai's eyes froze.

Could it be that Liu Yiwen didn't take what he said to heart at all? Or did the guy just think it was just a dream and just forget about it?

The heart is really big enough!

Looks like I need to go again tonight......

While he was thinking about it, Su Wanmiao smiled and continued, "Besides, even if those craftsmen come back today, it is impossible to make up for the delay of four or five days in one day......

"Then lady, why are you in such a good mood today?" Du Bai couldn't help but be a little curious.

Su Wanmiao gently covered her cheeks when she heard this, and her face was slightly red, "Is it obvious?" ”

"I just think that since the porcelain matter has been lost, there is no need to dwell on it, and there may be more important things to cherish at the moment......" She pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were a little relieved, and she whispered, "When I think about it like this, I suddenly feel that a big stone in my heart has fallen to the ground, and my shoulders seem to be a lot lighter." ”

As for some other inexplicable emotions, she can't describe them, but she always feels warm in her heart and can't say how much she likes them, which may also be a very important reason......

After dinner, Su Zhirou didn't know where the interest came from, and suddenly wanted to take her sister to go for a walk outside, Su Wanmiao naturally couldn't bear her, so she could only agree. Although she seemed to have something to say to him, she would probably have to wait until later.

"Don't come along!"

Before going out, Su Zhirou quietly turned around and made a grimace at Du Bai, and said with a lip sync.

Du Bai couldn't help crying and laughing, stood in place and watched them leave, and then went back to his room.

He's already a little busy tonight, so naturally he won't hang out with them.
