Apologized?
Qiong was also stunned.
Is Sheng Xuanyuan apologizing now?
Qiong also found it incredible. In her opinion, Sheng Xuanyuan should have stared at her with disdain and said coldly, "I don't know what to say."
But he actually apologized sincerely to himself!
There are two good things about Qiong Yi. One is that she has a good heart, and the other is that she is easy to coax.
After Sheng Xuanyuan's two casual words, her anger was gone.
Qiong Yi quietly put his hands behind his back and said: "Actually, I can't blame you... Everyone says that practicing swordsmanship is to kill demons and eliminate demons. Being sneaky is mixed in, which makes it easy to confuse people..."
Yang Xiaosi's eyes almost popped out. Why was the senior sister so angry one second? Sheng Xuanyuan said sorry twice, but the next second the senior sister didn't blame him anymore?
Sheng Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing Qiong Yi's words. He practiced Taoism and martial arts on Baifeng Mountain since he was a child, and had contact with very few people, let alone girls of the same age. Su Ye had always told him that apart from crying babies, the most difficult thing to comfort in the world was girls who were angry. Let him When necessary, admit your mistake and give a gift, and the girl's family will calm down as they come and go.
He thought: But Lu Qiongyi's anger must have dissipated too quickly.
"But I still won't go hunting ghosts with you." Qiong Yi said again.
"Okay." Sheng Xuanyuan stopped insisting: "Let your junior brother come."
Lu Li was confused: "Me?"
Sheng Xuanyuan nodded: "Yes. The ghosts in the forest have moved strangely. Lu Xiyan, if you are afraid, just go back and rest. If there is any other news, let your junior brother tell you."
He clearly knows that not all fears can be turned into habits simply by biting the bullet.
He had also been afraid, but after all, no one knew him and protected him.
Now, he can help others escape from fear, and he is also saving his former self.

Lu Li followed Sheng Xuanyuan to the important places he mentioned.
The two of them didn't walk for long. They walked through the long corridor and found a neat little courtyard. Although it was past the time of lush green trees, the autumn colors complemented each other. The courtyard was well-furnished. There were several elders and wives of the Su family sitting in the house, and standing outside the house. Several disciples from the collective school, all with frightened expressions and ugly faces, gathered together and talked in low voices.
Lu Li stood behind Sheng Xuanyuan, looked at the group of people, and asked, "Mr. Sheng, what happened to them?"
"Their house tent was stolen."
Lu Li was confused, "Is it the white curtain by the window?"
"Yeah." Sheng Xuanyuan paused: "All the white accounts of them were taken away. At first, I thought it was some disciple who had done something evil. Later, I found those white books in the woods on the school ground. The tents were all torn into strips and hung in knots on the trees."
The white curtain was torn into strips, and the knots were hung like white silk.
After all, Lu Li was a boy of thirteen or fourteen. Hearing what Sheng Xuanyuan said, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back. He said in a weak tone: "It couldn't be... the forest that my senior sister accidentally ran into that night, right?"
Sheng Xuanyuan nodded.
Lu Li patted his head: Fortunately, he didn't ask his senior sister to come over. This was really the right decision!
Sheng Xuan felt somewhat confident. If the ghost that Qiong Yi encountered that night was the same one that tore off the white silk, it should be a hanged ghost looking for a white silk that suits him.
"So what my senior sister... met that night, was it really a living ghost?"
"Most likely." Sheng Xuanyuan frowned, "Besides, the elder specifically asked me to call her because someone saw her wandering alone outside the woods around the school grounds before dawn today."
"Ah?" Lu Li objected: "This is impossible!"
"My senior sister...my senior sister said that she stayed at the inn last night and didn't sleep all night. How could anyone see her near the school grounds?..."
"Junior Brother Lu, please calm down." Sheng Xuanyuan looked at Lu Li's pale and frightened face and said, "That's why I didn't say anything about it in front of her just now."
"Mr. Sheng, you must take responsibility for what you said."
"I'm just spreading the word, telling the truth."
"This matter... You can't tell my senior sister about this matter. It's too weird, too strange..." Lu Li muttered to himself, "Is it possible that in the rumors, the evil creature that died and turned into a ghost many years ago was staring at Are you having sex with my senior sister?..."
Although Lu Li said this to himself, they both knew it well.
Sheng Xuanyuan did not answer, but led Lu Li towards the small courtyard house. Several masters in the house saw him coming with someone, and bowed to each other: "Young Master Sheng."
Lu Li on the side said secretly in his heart: Masters are so polite!
Sheng Xuanyuan shook his head and returned the salute, "Gentlemen, there is no need to do this. You are the teacher and the leader, and it is I who should salute."
"Young Master Sheng, you are so polite." Even the masters who are lecturers have to be polite to young masters from a wealthy family like the Sheng family. They looked around with doubts on their faces: "Hey, why don't you see that girl? I don't know. Did Young Master Sheng bring the girl who saw the evil spirit?"
"She was feeling unwell, so I let her go first."
Seeing the expressions of embarrassment on the faces of the masters, Sheng Xuanyuan added, "But I know that she didn't see the ghost, she just heard the female voice crying."
Elder Su, who was sitting in the deepest part of the room, opened his eyes when he heard this. He asked Xiang Sheng Xuanyuan: "Is this true?"
"What you said is true." Sheng Xuan nodded resentfully and asked: "Elder, Sheng Hao doesn't understand this. I hope you can give me some advice."
"speak."
"Living souls are easy to admire but difficult to capture, but they exist as souls. Unless they use psychic techniques, ordinary people will not hear their voices. Those who can weep as ghosts are called living ghosts. The traces of living ghosts are difficult to conceal. This ghost It can hide in the forest for a long time, and it can also steal at night without being discovered. There are many contradictions and it is difficult to distinguish."
The Su family elder chuckled: "Young Master Sheng has been able to get rid of ghosts, right?"
"Teach at home and shoulder responsibilities. Although there are ghosts to be eliminated, there are not many of them."
"It's easy to subjugate a small ghost, but it's hard to subdue a ghost in your heart." Elder Su twirled his beard, "This ghost is indeed a living ghost. He entered Taoism during his lifetime and turned into a ghost after his death, but he never did any evil and hid in the forest, silently for many years. In addition, this place It's so remote that we haven't removed it yet and told the disciples not to stay in the forest for a long time. The current chaos started when Lu Xiyan broke into the forest." After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "My masters and I guessed that it was sneaky. The rebellion must have something to do with Miss Lu... However, speculation is still speculation, and the real reason is not known yet. We have to wait until the ghost is subdued to find out the truth."
Sheng Xuanyuan said thoughtfully: "Thank you, elder, for your advice." After thanking him, he thought to himself: It's hard to let go of ghosts... Could it be because Lu Qiongyi was "afraid" of thinking too deeply?
Lu Li listened to the whole process on the sidelines and only understood a general outline: The elder said that the main reason why the hanged ghost caused trouble was probably because of his senior sister.
This is not pure nonsense!
Senior sister practices swordsmanship and qi, and is an upright person. She is a clean figure in any clan. She is still so afraid of ghosts, how can she lead ghosts to cause chaos?
Nonsense, this old man from the Su family is definitely talking nonsense!
Lu Li thought angrily in his heart.
Sheng Xuanyuan was also stuck in his thoughts, lost in thought. The two of them thought about their own things and slowly walked out of the house. They saw Su Ye swaggering not far away, interrupting their thoughts: "Brother Sheng! I'm coming!"
"This is..." Su Ye glanced at Lu Li and recognized him directly: "He is Lu Xiyan's junior brother, his name is Lu Li? We met at the Binhong Hotel. We are glad to meet you."
"Young Master Su, nice to meet you," Lu Li said in return.
"Come on, let's put aside the polite words. Are you sure that Sneaky is just a hanged ghost? Do you have any clues? Besides, the one who was on the sidelines of the school field before sunrise today...is he really Lu Xiyan?"
Sheng Xuanyuan told him everything about the conversation he had just had with the elder.
After hearing this, Su Ye's face turned solemn and said: "It's weird, so weird, Brother Sheng, why don't you find someone to look after Miss Lu? Listening to what you said, I feel as if Sneaky wants to eat her."
"Your senior sister doesn't have a cold constitution, right?" Su Ye asked Lu Li.
Lu Li shook his head: "My senior sister's five elements belong to fire, and her yang energy is abundant, which has nothing to do with her cold and yin constitution."
"Let's do this. Don't worry about what others saw this morning. Go back and take care of your senior sister. We will deal with this hanged ghost." Su Ye assured her.
Lu Li nodded: "Okay." After saying that, he left the courtyard.
Sheng Xuanyuan pondered for a long time: "Maybe it's because of her special spirit... that she was noticed by the hanging ghost who had practiced Taoism."
"Ah?" Su Ye was shocked: "You mean, that ghost will take her away..."
Sheng Xuanyuan nodded.
"We need to save people." Su Ye said firmly: "This girl Lu Xiyan is very lively and beautiful. What's more, she promised me that she would fight with me. We have to take action."
For the Sheng family who exorcises evil spirits and destroys ghosts, Sheng Xuanyuan would not just watch evil ghosts harm people. He said: "Yes."
Su Ye watched Sheng Xuanyuan walk away, and was stunned in place. After thinking for a moment, he followed him in a few steps and called out:
"Shengxuanyuan."
Sheng Xuanyuan heard the difference in his tone and asked, "What's the matter?"
"My sister is coming."
Sheng Xuanyuan frowned slightly and looked at him in confusion.
"She wants to see you."
After a brief rest, the autumn rain intertwined into a network thinly, adding a touch of chill in the haze.
Sheng Xuanyuan took a deep breath: "Stop joking."
Su Ye couldn't read any emotion from his eyes, as if there was no wave in the ancient well: "I'm not kidding." However, Sheng Xuanyuan kept clenching his fists and remained silent, minding his own business and walking away.
Of course he didn't want to see his sister, neither emotionally nor rationally.
"Sheng Xuanyuan! Wait for me." Su Ye chased after her, "Please meet her."
"...Why are you looking for me?"
The rain curtain became thicker, like thousands of flower needles falling to the ground, and it was so deserted that it stung people.
Su Ye froze on the spot, and both of them were soaked by the rain, becoming wet and cold. After a long time, he said calmly, "If you don't want to, I will ask Sister not to come."
He couldn't see that the person in front of him was in trouble, and it was because of his own affairs.
The same is true for Sheng Xuanyuan.
"Forget it, let Miss Su come to me." He exhaled a heavy breath: "I also have something to say to her." Sheng Xuanyuan looked at Su Ye. Su Ye suddenly became cheerful after hearing what he said. Xiangmeishiao asked: "Then you have to speak wisely and don't say anything too extreme. If you really have something you want to say or scold... tell me!"
After he finished speaking, he patted his chest hard.
Sheng Xuanyuan never talked about the Su family and the Sheng family with Su Ye. He always felt that it was a shackles and a barrier. No matter where he went, the title of "Young Master Sheng" followed him, followed by countless looks of admiration, disdain and contempt, which made him proud, and over time, he got used to it.
And Su Ye would never look at him like this, never.
