Su Ye stabbed Sheng Xuanyuan hard with his elbow behind him, then took over the conversation and said: "Sheng Xuanyuan means that for him, this is just a piece of cake. Lu Xiyan, you don't have to worry too much, ghosts can harm people." , it will be a disaster for anyone, no matter who it is, he will save it."
"Yes." Qiong also nodded: "I know, but I still want to thank you."
Sheng Xuanyuan felt that he had been stabbed in the elbow inexplicably. He glanced at Su Ye with a frown. When he looked at Qiong Yi, he somehow thought of what he had promised her in the house just now, and the feeling of water flowing through his heart came to mind. The strange feeling came over me again.
This ghost magic is so weird that even the caster is sealed into the magic weapon, but it can still work.
Sheng Xuanyuan looked away and thought secretly.
"I... I don't know if my junior brother is awake. I have to rush back and have a look." Qiong Yi said, turned around and walked hurriedly towards the dormitory. The two of them responded and watched her leave.
Seeing Qiong Yi walking away, Su Ye said, "You are so stupid."
Sheng Xuanyuan frowned: "Is there any difference between what we said?"
Su Ye's eyes widened: "Is there no difference?"
"She said she knew, which meant there was no difference."
Su Ye was speechless and put his arms behind his head: "As long as you are happy." He took two steps forward and said as he walked: "The ghost thing in the woods is finally over."
"Well, except that I couldn't get rid of it."
Su Ye got angry when he talked about this: "Oh, I don't care if there is any more trouble. Especially the guy named Yan, he got an advantage and acted like a good boy. Next time we see him, I'll beat him until he cries. mother!"
"oh."

When Qiong Yi returned to his dormitory, he happened to see Lu Li waking up.
"Senior sister...are you okay?" Lu Li sat up and called.
Qiong Yi quickly walked to his side and helped him stand up: "It's okay, I'm okay, thanks to Sheng Xuanyuan and the others for saving me..." She looked Lu Li up and down, and saw that his breathing was stable, and finally felt relieved: "Silly Xiao Qi ! If you knew that I was possessed by an evil spirit, you should stay away from me! As a result, you will also suffer..."
"Senior sister, are you kidding me? Master has said that our brothers and sisters who have become our master are of the same mind. How could I see you in trouble and run away!" Lu Li said indignantly.
"I think it was Mr. Sheng who saved you. I found clues to the evil ghost's hidden aura, which also saved them time..." Lu Li said to himself, then looked at Qiong Yi carefully: "Fortunately, Senior Sister, you are okay. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid Second Senior Brother will be hacked to death by me..."
Qiong Yi was dumbfounded: "What does it matter to him..."
"By the way, Xiaosi hasn't come back yet. She was the one who went to find the reinforcements." Lu Li said as he walked out of the house. Before he could walk out of the door, a figure appeared in front of him. It really means Cao Cao. When Cao Cao arrived, the figure was none other than Yang Xiaosi. She rushed in from the door in a hurry.
"Lu Li!" Yang Xiaosi was going very fast and almost collided with Lu Li. He raised his hand to hold her arm, and the two of them were very close to each other. She said, "I just heard someone say that that evil The ghost has been taken away by the seal..."
As Yang Xiaosi spoke, his eyes glanced at Qiong Yi behind Lu Li, and his words suddenly became very long: "Senior sister!——"
Seeing her rushing toward him, Qiong Yi smiled helplessly, opened his arms, hugged his little junior sister, and said, "Why are you crying? Your senior sister, I am still standing here fine."
"Yeah! Yeah!" Yang Xiaosi looked at Qiong Yi longingly and sniffed: "Fortunately, senior sister, you're okay. Your expression just now was really scary! I almost thought..." After that, he buried his head in the Joan is also on her shoulders.
Qiong Yi coaxed while stroking Yang Xiaosi's hair: "Okay, okay, there's nothing wrong with me."
After she finished speaking, she added: "It was Xiao Si who you called, and it was you who saved me."
"Senior sister, you still praise me...I can't even tell the difference between east, west and north. I didn't see the elders when I ran out of the school..." Yang Xiaosi muttered and couldn't help but ask: "...How did that hanged ghost get sealed? of?"
"It was Sheng Xuanyuan who saved me, and it was he who sealed the Hanged Ghost." Qiong Yi replied. She lowered her eyes, and a thought that made her feel a little dizzy silently arose in her heart: This is a life-saving grace, what should I do? Go pay him back?
Just thinking about Sheng Xuanyuan saying "no need" when he thanked her made her heartbroken.
Now it seems that there is really no way to pay it off.

The next day, morning.
The school where Jixue is located is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The mountains are small but not high and very delicate. Beishan was behind the school grounds, with deep mountains, dense forests, and smoke and clouds. Sheng Xuanyuan didn't want to be disturbed by other disciples who occasionally practiced in the school grounds in the morning, so he came to the south mountain to practice swordsmanship in order to be clean.
The sky was just getting bright, and there was a layer of mist in the mountains. The morning light was intercepted by the trees that were not dense. Some of the morning light stayed on the trees, and part of it fell on the ground. They were all dependent on yesterday's rain and dew, shining brightly. He jumped up a tree, sat down cross-legged, breathed in and out, exercised his energy and rested his mind. The morning breath in the mountains was very fresh, and there were several sweet and crisp chirpings of birds in the air.
After a few cycles of breathing, Sheng Xuanyuan opened his eyes and jumped down from the tree, preparing to practice his sword.
The chirping of birds in the distance is mixed with low singing. The singing is melodious, clear and sweet. Although it sounds like humming casually, it doesn't sound like human music.
Sheng Xuanyuan was moved by this. He heard the voice was familiar and a little curious, so he put away his sword and looked around to find the source of the singing.
He walked a long way toward the mountain before he saw a person sitting on a dwarf ginkgo tree. She was swaying her legs, and her two braids were hanging from her shoulders. They showed a light maroon color in the morning light. When she heard someone approaching under the tree, she stopped immediately. Voice, looking back at each other, eyes cut open, hair blown by the wind.
"Sheng Xuanyuan?"
Qiong was also a little surprised. She didn't expect to meet him here. Of course, Sheng Xuanyuan didn't expect to meet her here either.
The moment Qiong Yi looked back and called his name, he was enveloped in the morning light like a painting. Seeing this, Sheng Xuanyuan's heart seemed to be flicked by something inexplicable, and he quickly turned his eyes away.
wrong.
Sheng Xuanyuan clenched his sword and thought: That's wrong.
"Why are you here?" Qiong Yi held on to the tree trunk and asked.
"I... came to practice swordsmanship." He didn't dare to look at her anymore, but he wanted to talk to her, "What about you?"
"Me?" Qiong Yi replied: "Get up early to practice, first look at the scenery and purify your mind."
She looked at the light blue sky in the distance, transitioning from goose yellow to moonlight white, and couldn't help but chuckle, revealing a pair of beautiful little tiger teeth: "The scenery is nice, do you want to come up and take a look?"
The ginkgo tree was very short, and the tree trunk where Qiong Yi was sitting was almost at his shoulder height: "No, I can just stand under the tree." He walked in front of the tree, leaning on it with his hands behind his hands and looking out. The Golden Crow has jumped out of the mountain, lifting the veil of fog to reveal the entire mountain, with mixed colors. The sky is green, just like the hem of her skirt.
"It looks good," he said.
Qiong Yi was almost used to his perfunctory words, but she replied in a serious tone.
"Why do you want to purify your mind? Is there something wrong?" Sheng Xuanyuan asked.
His question was beyond Qiong Yi's expectation. She originally thought that with Sheng Xuanyuan's accuracy, she would not notice it.
Sheng Xuanyuan really didn't notice that she was worried. He was just looking for something to talk about. A blind cat has met a dead mouse.
Qiong Yi was silent for a long time: "Yesterday, I was captured by the Hanged Ghost, and I have an extra memory, which is the memory of its lifetime."
Sheng Xuanyuan pursed his lips and listened quietly.
"I saw in my memory that she was trapped by love and hanged herself. Even after she died and turned into a ghost, she still wanted to leave the forest and find her lover..." Qiong Yi jumped from the tree and fell. "I don't understand..."
"don't know?"
Qiong also looked at him steadily: "Hmm, I don't understand." She paused: "I can feel her emotions, right in my heart, like fire."
"It's not that I don't understand her, I don't understand that man."
"Why are the promises made so easily betrayed?"
"It's good to value friendship, but you were deceived by others, and the infatuated person was reduced to this!"
Qiong Yi clenched his fists and kicked the fallen leaves on the ground randomly: "It's really... annoying!"
As she spoke, she turned to talking to herself: "If, if I meet such a person... I will make a clean break with him, and then teach him a lesson!"
"Um."
Sheng Xuanyuan saw her saying everything in her heart and responded from the side.
Someone listened to her talk and shook off all the words in her stomach. Qiong also felt that her mood became much brighter. She turned back to look at Sheng Xuanyuan, lowered her eyes and smiled lightly: "Hey, you really don't talk much. ah."
He said: "I'm listening to you."
"So do you think that in this world, men are really less affectionate than women?"
Sheng Xuanyuan was silent: "I don't know."
He thought for a long time and then said: "People are different. Some people are ruthless, while others are affectionate, regardless of gender."
Qiong Yi nodded after listening: "You are right."
She seemed to remember something: "By the way, Sheng Xuanyuan. Counting the first time I met a ghost, you saved me twice. There is no way I can repay you for saving my life. If you want anything, I can." If you can do it, just ask and I will do it for you."
Sheng Xuanyuan hesitated for a moment, and then said calmly: "No, it is the Sheng family's responsibility to destroy evil spirits. I am not asking for reward for saving you."
"That won't work!" Qiong Yi knew that he would refuse, and said hurriedly: "My uncle taught me a long time ago that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring, let alone a life-saving kindness."
Seeing her insistence, he thought for a while: "Then just treat it as you owe me two favors and pay them back in the future."
Qiong Yi raised his hand and stretched out his little finger, "Okay. I, Qiong Yi, keep my word and will not go back on my words!"
Sheng Xuanyuan was stunned for a long time, then stretched out his hand to make a promise with her. Seeing her smile, his eyebrows relaxed slightly.
He turned his face away as if he was a bit restrained: "Is that your singing voice just now?"
Qiong Yi replied naturally: "Yes. What's wrong?"
Sheng Xuanyuan felt that the singing was clear and sweet, but he couldn't say any words of praise at all. He just nodded dullly in response, with a slight blush on his cheeks.
When she saw that he didn't answer, she turned her head and looked. Sheng Xuanyuan was looking forward with his lips pursed. Under his thick sword-shaped eyebrows were long and straight eyelashes. His eyes were shaped like red phoenixes, with dark pupils and slightly raised ends. , the bridge of the nose is high and the outline is sharp and angular, revealing a cold and handsome boyish air. Everything is just right, extremely beautiful and durable.
Qiong Yi smacked his lips and sighed in his heart again, this guy's face is really beautiful.
When Sheng Xuanyuan heard that there was no movement on one side, he turned around slightly and saw her pair of watery eyes staring straight into his own again. The distance was a bit close, and her already red face turned red.
Qiong Yi was caught peeping in the open, but she saw that Sheng Xuanyuan was even more embarrassed than she was. She laughed and said: I'm afraid this man has never been in contact with the girl's family, so this reaction is really funny.
She folded her hands and called him shamelessly: "Sheng Xuanyuan."
Sheng Xuanyuan responded in a low voice, realizing that Qiong was teasing him. He was reluctant in his heart and was not willing to be teased like this by her.
Qiong also saw that his ears were starting to turn red, which made her feel even more interesting. However, this guy still knows how to behave. He was afraid of provoking him again, so he calmly shut up and stood beside him, watching the sun climb higher and higher.
"It's getting late, it's time to practice your sword." Qiong Yi said, holding the sword and turning around to walk to the open space on the top of the mountain, "I'm practicing here, won't it disturb you?"
Sheng Xuanyuan shook his head and asked, "Will you come here to practice sword practice in the future?"
Qiong Yi thought for a while and replied: "It's hard to say."
