Chapter 9: Choking

Joan was also stunned, and the strange aura and devil cry just now seemed to melt like snow after this clear and magnetic sound sounded. With a sore nose, she staggered to her feet and ran towards the man, grabbing him by the arm.

The young man was overwhelmed by her action, and just now he felt an unusual aura outside the forest, so he brought the lamp in and saw Qiong Yi who was slumped on the ground with a pale complexion.

"Yes...... There is a ......" Qiong Yi's teeth couldn't stop trembling, and her voice stumbled.

Sheng Xuanyan pushed her hand away, looked at the bloodless cheeks, and said in a flat tone: "What's there?"

"There are ghosts...... There are ghosts here......"

"Oh." Sheng Xuan complained and walked out with the lantern.

Joan also froze, her legs still limp, unable to keep up with his pace at all, "... Hey......"

Sheng Xuanyan didn't pause and wait for her.

Joan also called again, but still did not respond.

She was extremely aggrieved: "Sheng Xuan's resentment!!"

Sheng Xuan looked back at her.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Don't leave. โ€

Joan also whispered, almost pleading.

"Why?"

Joan was also dumbfounded: "... I... I'm afraid...... I'm afraid of ghosts...... You, don't... Walk so fast......"

Sheng Xuanyan looked at her carefully from head to toe, as if he was thinking about something, then handed his hand over and called tentatively: "Lu Qiongyi?"

Qiong Yi looked up in surprise, she never thought that Sheng Xuanyan would call her by this name, and she added her surname inexplicably.

She put her hand on the hand he handed him, and it was very slender and warm. Sheng Xuanyan held her hand, clenched it very tightly, Qiong also felt that there was true qi coming, and after a while, he shook off her hand and said, "If you can go by yourself, go by yourself."

"I thought you were a ghost." Sheng Xuan resented walking in front with a lantern, and explained lightly that because the ghost could not bear his true anger, he had to identify his identity through physical contact: "This forest is not very peaceful, and it has been rumored that there is a female ghost who hides very deeply on weekdays and refuses to show up, and the Su family has not caught it, so the disciples generally do not come here."

Whether she was frightened or choked by Sheng Xuan's words, Qiong was also speechless: "...... Am I like a female ghost? โ€

Sheng Xuan's pale face appeared in his mind and said, "Yes." โ€

Joan was silent for a long time, but still asked, "...... So how did you know my name? โ€

"You said it yourself in class today." Sheng Xuan complained.

Joan was also dumbfounded: "...... My name is Qiongyi, there is no 'Lu', not Lu Qiongyi. โ€

He let out a perfunctory sigh and asked, "If you are afraid of ghosts, why do you want to come here by yourself?" โ€

"I don't know." Joan also snorted, "I didn't know there were ghosts here, and if I knew that I wouldn't have come here...... โ€

Sheng Xuanyan couldn't quite understand that cultivators were still afraid of ghosts, unheard of, and his eyes were full of disdain: "Then what is your sword for?"

โ€œโ€ฆ Self-cultivation. Joan also tilted her head and replied.

Sheng Xuanyan stopped talking and led Qiong Yi out of the grove. After leaving the woods, Joan also found that there was a moon and scattered stars tonight. She didn't know what would have happened if she hadn't met Sheng Xuanren tonight, and now her mind was still not very clear, like a nightmare.

Sheng Xuanyan looked back at her: "When you go back, remember to purify your heart and mind, don't be stained with evil qi because of ghosts."

She nodded.

After speaking, Sheng Xuan walked away without looking back.

Qiong also called: "Sheng Xuan's resentment."

Sheng Xuanren looked back at her, only to see that she said very sincerely: "Thank you for saving me."

He glanced away, said lightly, and left.

When Sheng Xuanyan returned to his dormitory, Su Ye had been waiting for him in the house for a while, and when he saw him enter the room, he asked with a smile: "That little road has to take so long?" โ€

"It's an evil one." Sheng Xuan said indifferently: "I didn't see a ghost, I only saw a person." โ€

As Su Ye, who is the Su family's own family, naturally knows that there is evil hidden in the gloomy grove: "That ghost has been silent for many years, without any movement, we all thought it had been annihilated, how could we let you run into it." He paused, then asked, "See someone?" Who did you see? โ€

"The Lu family. It's the one who is late today, and the one who has a conflict with his own family. โ€

Su Ye was happy: "I remember." It's in the same classroom as us, called Lu Xiyan? How could she be there, could it be that she got lost in the dark? โ€

"She said she had met a sneaky one."

"Really? Did the female ghost really wake up? โ€

"I don't know. However, I was drawn to the ghostly breath. โ€

"It's a little weird." Su Ye held his chin and thought.

Sheng Xuanyan recalled the ghost aura he felt on the school field, "That breath seems to be strong but not light, not a ghost." โ€

"Suppressing evil spirits and ghosts is your forte, not a little ghost." Su Ye straightened up and said, praising him in his words, his expression was like boasting about himself. After thinking about it, he said: "It's weird, that sneaky person has not been seen for many years, why did he appear at this time?" โ€

Sheng Xuan only felt that the affairs within the territory of the school should be handled by the Su family, although he came from a family of exorcism, he was not a nosy person, and after chatting with Su Ye for a few words, he went back to the inner room to meditate and cultivate.

*

The night went by.

After telling Lu Li what happened at night the next morning, Lu Li nervously looked at his baby sister up and down carefully to confirm that nothing went wrong.

"It was the one surnamed Sheng who took me out of the grove." Joan also punched him in the head as he looked at himself, "Don't look at me, I'm okay now!" โ€

Lu Li was beaten but not angry, he felt that his senior sister was back, and sighed with a sigh, "It's okay." He knew very well how much Qiong was afraid of ghosts, and he was more likely to be targeted by ghosts who coveted spiritual power than ordinary people who had not cultivated.

"You, you didn't stop me at the time, and you didn't come to me when you ran out, I almost died of fright." Joan also said angrily.

Lu Li paused and whispered, "It's Senior Sister, you said leave your ...... alone"

Joan was also dumbfounded: "...... I said I don't care, you really don't care? No wonder Xiao Si said that you are stupid. โ€

"Huh?" Lu Li was puzzled, and he felt even more confused when he saw Qiong Yi looking like he was going to comprehend it himself. The two walked into the school together, went to different rooms, and Joan also found her place yesterday and sat down.

"Did you hear that? Xie really didn't come this time. โ€

"Why, do you really despise this set?"

"Hey, put it before it was estimated to be, now? I'm afraid I'm going to be busy. โ€

"What?"

"Riots in the Western Desert!"

Qiong also turned around and listened to the discussion of several people around her, and said in her heart: "The Xie family is strong, it is best to train people, how can it not even suppress Rongjiang?" After a moment of distraction, I saw yesterday's well-looking master dressed in white walk into the school, and he looked around the room, and suddenly fell silent.

The Master's lectures were really boring, so he read the scriptures dryly, and his long and narrow tones were subdued, wandering around the room, teaching people to be sleepy. This scripture on the body and mind Qiong has also been familiar with it since she was a child, and now she is reciting it backwards, she is bored and holding her cheeks to listen to the lecture, her eyelashes are blinking, and when she looks around, she suddenly sees Su Ye sitting in the back row of her, lying on the table and sleeping.

"Poof." Qiong Ye couldn't help laughing, and said in her heart: "This Su Ye really deserves the name of the Su family's little son, and he sleeps so blatantly. Besides, this master was sent by the Su family, right? Seeing his little boy sleeping in the hall, I don't know what to think. โ€

"Su Ye โ€”โ€”!"

The old master walked to Su Ye's side and slapped a ruler on the table where he was lying: "Let me stand outside and wake up!" Hurry up!! The master found out faster than Qiong Yi expected, only to see Su Ye sit up in a daze, and after being at a loss, he got used to walking outside, walked to the door and stood, rubbing his eyes, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

There was a burst of laughter in the room, and it took a long time for the green tendons on the master's forehead to subside.

After the end of class, Su Ye also stood awake, this person was thick-skinned, and still slipped back indoors as if nothing had happened, and said hello to the master who walked out of the school, and said "go slowly" with a smile.

Joan has never seen such an arrogant person, not only does she find it interesting, but she also feels a little awe in her heart.

Su Ye returned to the room to collect the paper and pen on the table, and was not frustrated by being punished for standing for a class, and the whole person actually seemed quite happy.

Sheng Xuan was too lazy to look at him, and secretly begged for more blessings, and the voice of others came from his ears:

"Those two ......"

"Over there? Su Ye, the little son of Su, and Sheng Xuan, the young master of the Sheng family, are all celebrities in the parents of the five major clans today. โ€

"Su Ye? Oh, that's famous, I'm afraid it's notorious, right? Look at the way he looks like a child for a day, he doesn't learn and has no skills, and idleness is not a big deal, and I heard that he is also very romantic. โ€

"Poofโ€”I heard that Sheng Xuanwei also has a brother."

"More than one, two!" He added, "However, if it weren't for the fact that his second brother Sheng Zijing was deaf, how could there be any resentment against him." โ€

"Smack-"

A breaking wind sounded, and a black shadow flew between the two like arrows, and then embedded deep in the wall, and cracks gradually appeared in the wall, and Joan also looked at it, it was just a pen that had not been dipped in ink.

"Say, keep talking."

Su Ye pressed the other pen that Sheng Xuanyan was spinning in his hand, and said to the two of them with a smile, "Why don't you say it?" Well? โ€

Sheng Xuan's face was expressionless: "Slippery hands."

He added, "No matter how much criticism you make, I don't mind slipping on the two of you." โ€

"Sheng Xuan, don't be angry. Aren't they telling me the truth? Su Ye walked over with a smile, stepped heavily on the table in front of the two of them, and then looked down and sneered, his momentum increased sharply: "However." Spread rumors about Sheng Zijing again, beware of ......"

He smiled and wiped his neck with the blade of his hand, his brow raised.

The two were obviously frightened and stunned, and they knew that they were at a loss and were so angry that they had to walk out of the schoolroom, and one of them seemed to turn around and curse something, and was stopped and dragged away by the other.

Joan also saw that it was not a big deal, and after witnessing the whole process from the sidelines, she felt that it was a good show. She walked to the wall and pulled out the pen, which was deep into the wall but not damaged at all, showing the strength of the darkness.

This repair is ...... I'm afraid I can compare with the senior brother.

She walked to Sheng Xuan's side and handed over the pen, and when she wanted to say something like "good job", she somehow remembered that some time ago, she also called Sheng Zijing deaf, and she couldn't help but feel empty.

Although it has always been this way out there.

"Sheng Gongzi, pen." Joan also raised her hand to hold the pen, "Last night, thank you." โ€

Sheng Xuanyan took the pen and put it up: "Didn't you thank you?" Why say it again? โ€

Joan was just casually polite, and when she heard him ask such a question, she suddenly froze, and responded with a dry smile on her face: "Oh." โ€

What's the matter with this person?

Why do you choke people to death every time you say a word?

Joan Yipi turned around without smiling, and thought: If I hadn't taken me out of the broken forest last night, I would have been kicked in the head by a donkey before I came to talk to you.
