Qiong Yi's soliloquy was especially loud at night, and a black figure suddenly stood up on the riverbank beside him, frightening Qiong Yi like a frightened rabbit, and jumped up a few feet away from the river: "Ah! "
Sheng Xuanyuan blocked his ears. After confirming that she was Qiong Yi, he silently put back the disdain in his eyes: "Why are you here?"
Qiong Yi pointed at him with his mouth open, his fingers trembling: "Me? Why are you here? Didn't you go back a long time ago?"
She added: "Why are you standing up on the roadside at night to scare people? You look like I have disturbed you. Who would have thought that there is a big living person sitting motionless on the stone steps. I thought it was just a piece of cake." Shitou suddenly stood up and scared me to death..."
"Lu Qiongyi." Sheng Xuanyuan called.
Qiong also frowned: "?"
"I told you that my name is not Lu Qiongyi. If Mr. Sheng wants to call me, you should call me Lu Xiyan." Qiongyi glanced at him and snorted.
Sheng Xuanyuan was startled: "Oh, I forgot."
"Then you are really a noble person who forgets things."
"You don't have a place to live if you don't go back to school?" Sheng Xuanyuan walked up from the river steps and stood in front of Qiong Yi and asked.
Qiong Yi felt as if there was a wall in front of him. He was tall and upright. Without raising his head, he could only see his collar, so he turned half sideways and said, "Of course there is a place to live, one hundred and fifty cents." It’s too late.”
Sheng Xuanyuan didn't realize that it was Qiong Yi who was blocking his words, so he just kept silent, thinking that he had finished speaking.
Qiong also raised her head, only to see him pursing his lips silently. The eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows were dark and deep, and his eyelashes were long and slender. When she raised her eyes, she couldn't move away the second time.
It's a really picturesque face, every part of it can be called beautiful, but it's clearly a man's face.
In order to cover up the fact that she was stunned, Qiong Yi asked: "Why are you still here?"
Sheng Xuanyuan lifted the package in his hand: "I bought it an elbow and went back tonight, but it seemed like it couldn't bite it, so I went out and bought it some cooked meat and goat milk."
Qiong Yi smacked his lips: Evil dog, evil dog, you really flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix. You eat better food than me.
"Have you named it yet?" Qiong Yi asked with a smile on her face.
Sheng Xuanyuan answered honestly: "No, I won't take it."
"What's wrong with this? Dogs are usually named according to their coat color. White fur is called Xiaobai, yellow fur is called Xiaohuang, black fur is called Xiaohei, and flowery fur is called Xiaohua. If that doesn't work, they are all called Wangcai. Qiong Yi became more and more confused as she spoke. When she wanted to continue speaking, Sheng Xuanyuan's expression froze and he suddenly stepped forward to grab her wrist, which made her freeze in place.
"Sheng Xuan resents you..."
"Lu Xiyan. Didn't you clear your mind and eliminate evil spirits when you went back that night?" Sheng Xuanyuan frowned and choked Qiong Yi's words alive in his throat.
Qiong Yi suddenly remembered: "I... forgot, is this important?"
Sheng Xuanyuan let go of her hand and said with a cold expression: "School is over tomorrow. You can leave later and I will bring you some talismans."
Qiong also didn't know why: "Sheng Xuanyuan, please explain clearly, what happened?"
Sheng Xuanyuan asked, "Didn't you encounter anything strange these days?"
There were quite a lot of strange things in the past few days. Qiong Yi carefully recalled the days when he lived in the inn. For example, he could always hear people walking around at night, knocking on the door, hearing the laughter of men and women, and things in the room would change. It might have been moved, or there might be some extra gadgets, but these oddities were not worth mentioning in the crowded and crowded inn, and Qiong also didn't take them to heart at all.
"You...don't scare me, I'm very timid." Qiong Yi's voice was weak.
Sheng Xuanyuan looked at her and said, "You have a lot of cultivation, nothing will happen to you." After he finished speaking, he continued the previous topic and said, "I will refer to the name you gave me, thank you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Only Qiong, who was aroused by fear, was left messy in the autumn wind.
She really didn't know whether Sheng Xuanyuan said this to remind her or to scare her. But regardless of whether his intentions were good or bad, Qiong Yi was frightened.

Qiong Yi ran all the way back to the inn holding the sword. The waiter of the inn lit a small candlestick and sent her back to the guest room.
"Man, I kept hearing noises upstairs last night and couldn't sleep well. Why don't you go up and help me persuade them to stop walking around tonight, okay?"
Hearing what Qiong Yi said, the waiter yawned and went upstairs to help her ask questions, but came down with a strange look on his face: "Girl, no one has been living above you for the past few days. I asked about the rooms around you, and they all He said he didn’t make any noise or hear anything.”
After Qiong Yi heard this, she almost recited it, tried her best to control her expression, and said okay, I understand.
No movement?
But she could clearly hear it every night these past few nights!
Qiong Yi thought about it carefully again.
No, I stayed at the inn for one night and didn't hear a single noise.
That was my first night at this inn.
The noise has been there since the second night!
Could it be because on the second night, she went into that weird grove and encountered a ghost hitting the wall!
Qiong Yi's back felt cold, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became: Could it be that the thing I met in the woods was eyeing me?
In this way, from then on, I heard strange noises every night...
Qiong Yi curled up in the quilt and didn't dare to close her eyes. She stared at the candlelight on the table in a daze, hoping that she would fall asleep unconsciously when she felt sleepy.
As the time got later and later, the candlelight in the house became dimmer and dimmer in the third watch of the night. Finally, the candle burned out and the house fell into darkness. Qiong Yiben was a little sleepy, and dimly realized that the room was dark, and subconsciously closed her eyes. But at this moment, the sound of "dong dong dong——" was heard from the window. The sound was very loud. It shook her awake.
Qiong Yi felt like she was facing a formidable enemy. She opened her eyes and looked around the room, holding her sword tightly in both hands. She was thinking: This is the second floor of the inn. Why would someone knock on the outside window?
Not knowing where she got the courage, she resolutely got out of bed and walked towards the window.
The window banged and shook, Qiong Yi trembled with his hands, and without stopping, he pulled out the wooden window latch and pushed the window open with force.
What comes into view is an extremely terrifying human face!
"ah!"
Qiong Yi sat up in shock and found that it was already dawn.
She patted her face, feeling a slight pain, and then realized that the ghost she saw when she opened the window with a white face and a long tongue was actually a nightmare.
"It's a dream..." Qiong Yi breathed out, "Fortunately it's a dream..." She patted her chest to steady her mind. When she turned to get out of bed, her eyes fell on the wide open window, and she suddenly felt like she was petrified. Stay.
Why is the window open?
Wasn't that just a dream? It was real last night...
Qiong Yi couldn't stay any longer, so she quickly opened the door and left the inn.

School.
After her morning class, Qiong Yi received the most joyful news since she called Yize.
A disciple came to her in the utility room and told her that the new dormitory had been tidied up and was inviting her to come and take a look.
Qiong Yi's dormitory is not connected to the dormitory of the disciples in the gathering. It is a wooden house behind a small courtyard. I heard that the disciple said that the high-rise buildings were full, and there were only scattered empty houses left. Don't mind, girl.
Living alone in a single room, Qiong Yi didn't even have time to say thank you, so why would she mind.
The wooden house seems to have been repaired for some time, and has old stains. The house is kept clean and tidy. After seeing off the disciples from the miscellaneous office, Qiong Yi planned to go to the inn to retrieve her luggage and put it away.
She arranged the decorations in the house and thought of Sheng Xuanyuan. He told himself last night that she would wait for him after class today.
But this person didn't come to class today!
Not even Su Ye was seen.
"So am I being let go?" Qiong Yi thought with his hands on his hips: "If I had known that I was scared last night, I wouldn't have wanted to rely on the talisman he didn't get."
What happened last night was very strange. Qiong also couldn't remember what she saw after opening the window, or whether she opened the window, nor could she tell whether it was a dream or something real.
Feeling insecure to be alone, Qiong Yi left her Shinjuku room to find her junior brothers and sisters, yawning as she walked out.
Near noon, the sky suddenly changed and it began to rain lightly. The autumn rain was pouring down, and it was a bit chilly.
Qiong Yi, Yang Xiaosi and Lu Li were sitting on the bench beside the corridor chatting. Autumn seems to arrive earlier in Yichuan than in Guangyang. The mountains in the distance are blue in the thin smoke, so distant and inhumane. She had a very bad rest last night, which made Qiong Yi very sleepy now, with waves of drowsy sleepiness, mixed with some dreams that she couldn't remember clearly from last night.
"Senior sister!"
Yang Xiaosi beside her shook her awake, "Are you so sleepy?"
Qiong Yi held her head and said confusedly: "Didn't I just tell you what happened last night? I was so disturbed that I couldn't sleep well at all... I was sleepy and my head still hurt." She stood up and wanted to wake up for a while. Seeing a person coming around the corner of the corridor, it was the person who released her dove today, so he turned his face and pretended to look at the scenery.
Sheng Xuanyuan came from around the corner, wearing an indigo robe with a high collar and a high collar, making him look particularly cheerful. The ponytail is tied up high and neatly. He walked a few steps away from Qiong Yi and stopped.
"Lu Xiyan." Sheng Xuanyuan called her, "I'm here to find you."
Qiong also said goodbye and turned around: "Didn't you ask me to wait for you after class today? But you weren't there."
Sheng Xuanyuan lowered his head and said, "I didn't come because I had something to do." After a pause, he said, "Follow me, and I will explain to you later."
Qiong also said: "You tell me what it is first, otherwise I won't go."
Sheng Xuanyuan pondered for a moment: "Catch ghosts."
After hearing this, Qiong also refused directly: "I won't go."
"Why?" Sheng Xuanyuan said hurriedly: "That evil thing has something to do with you..."
"You clearly know that I'm scared, why do you still call me?" Qiong Yi asked with his watery eyes open.
Lu Li blocked Qiong Yi behind him: "Mr. Sheng, my senior sister really can't deal with being sneaky. You can find someone else to help you catch ghosts. Don't catch my senior sister and let her go."
Yang Xiaosi also hugged Qiong Yi and said, "Yes, Young Master Sheng, my senior sister must be in trouble if she doesn't want to go. You also know that she can't catch ghosts, so don't force others to make things difficult."
Sheng Xuanyuan was very puzzled, and asked Qiong Yi in a low tone, "Are you so scared? That's just a little devil who can scare you like this. Fortunately, you are still the direct disciple of the Lu clan leader."
After he finished speaking, he glanced over and said, "Thanks to your high level of cultivation, you are so cowardly like this..."
Qiong also gritted her teeth: "Sheng Xuanyuan!"
Angrily, she pulled her junior siblings and turned around to leave: "Let's go."
"Qiong Yi." Sheng Xuanyuan called her, "Don't leave."
Qiong Yi's anger became even more intense: "You are not allowed to call me Qiong Yi!"
She turned around and said, "Sheng Xuanyuan, you are really funny. You really want me to catch ghosts. Can't you explain the reason carefully? What do you mean, I'm a direct disciple of the Lu family, so I can't be afraid of ghosts?" Alright? The Sheng family has been eliminating evil spirits since ancient times, and they can be easily captured. Just don’t be afraid of ghosts and evil spirits yourself. Don’t let others take it upon yourself, okay?"
"Senior sister, don't be angry..."
Qiong Yi covered his dizzy head and staggered, but he kept talking: "What does it mean to be 'not low in cultivation, cowardly and sneaky'? Not everyone practices and holds swords to exorcise evil spirits. Why do you say that to me?..."
For the first time, Sheng Xuanyuan was pointed at the nose and scolded, and remained silent for a long time.
"I'm sorry." He said, "I...didn't expect this."
"I didn't think about it and made you angry. I'm sorry."
