Si Yuzhe was stunned. She looked at Ju Jingbai's face covered with talismans and sobbed, "Really?"
"You're lying! Where did you come from? You're such a boastful celestial master! Don't you even think before you brag? Since you've seen the bunch of little ghosts in the corridor, you know they're not to be trifled with. The Taoist texts clearly record how brutal the ghosts that can produce little ghost kings are. Even my master doesn't dare to guarantee it directly, and you two youngsters are bragging here? Be careful not to hurt others and yourself." Qian Qiong realized that her own interests were about to be damaged, and immediately said, "Miss Si, don't believe them. They want to kill you. Although I can't drive them away, I can give you a way to save your life. At least the outcome won't get any worse."
Si Yuzhe looked at the two young men at the door. The one with the childish face was probably even younger than her. She opened her mouth in distrust but no words came out. The spark of hope in her eyes dimmed little by little.
Si Yuzhe was able to become a big star, so naturally she was good-looking. Even though she looked a lot more haggard now, she was still a stunning beauty. Ju Jingbai couldn't resist the sight of her from a distance, so he immediately walked in and walked to Si Yuzhe, comforting her: "Miss Si, please believe me. Just because he can't do it, you can't assume that everyone can't do it."
"Impossible! If you have a famous master of metaphysics, how could I not know him?" Qian Qiong had met many masters, many who could subdue the Ghost King, but never one this young. He curled his lips and said, "If there are serious consequences, you will be arrested by the police."
Just as Ju Jingbai was about to speak, he shrugged his nose and frowned, "What's that smell?"
Si Yuzhe said, "It's the calming incense I lit."
"Soothing incense?" Ju Jingbai asked. The fragrance before her was very faint, superficially the elegant scent of bamboo, but there was a subtle difference. She often burned this kind of soothing incense as a child, so she could sense something was wrong. Behind the soothing incense seemed to be mixed with the scent of... ancestral incense. Her face was grim, and she said, "You two should smell it carefully too."
"This is the smell of ordinary calming incense. I often smell this kind of fragrance in the homes of people who have seen ghosts. I won't mistake it. What tricks are you trying to play?" Qian Qiong took a sip and shouted.
Xu Ge walked in upon seeing this, opened the incense burner, sniffed it, cut off a piece and twisted it, and after a long while he said, "It seems to be the incense of ancestors. Miss Si, who gave you this incense? Your husband?"
"Impossible, this is just an ordinary calming incense, I will never make a mistake." Qian Qiong immediately retorted.
"Yes, Cui Muze gave it to me." Si Yuzhe asked nervously, "What is ancestral incense?"
"Ancestor incense is commonly known as dead person incense. It can calm ghosts down. If the amount is large, it can also make ghosts forget many things. Ghosts without memories are naturally peaceful. It is an incense specially lit for the dead." Ju Jingbai explained and went to open the window.
"They must have made a mistake. Why would your husband send you incense for the dead?" Qian Qiong said as she wanted to go up to check, but Xu Ge slammed the lid of the incense burner shut.
"That's right." Xu Ge smiled and said, "We did encounter the group of little ghosts that Senior Brother mentioned just now, but they told me that your husband wants to harm you and they want to help you. Have you been receiving inexplicable children's toys these days? Mostly shoes, but also folded clothes?"
"They also gave you roses, but those roses turned to ashes the moment you touched them, didn't they?" Xu Ge said again, "You think they want to harm you, so they asked us Heavenly Masters to come here, right?"
Si Yuzhe was a little excited: "No, no, Cui Muze treats me very well."
"I also think it's impossible, you..." Qian Qiong was about to refute when she suddenly saw Xu Ge take out a peach wood sword. The patterns on the peach wood sword were very familiar. This... this was actually his peach wood sword.
"How is it impossible? As a heavenly master, you are willing to argue with your employer in the ancestral incense for such a long time. You are really amazing." Ju Jingbai couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Qian Qiong blushed and couldn't argue with Ju Jingbai with a clear conscience.
"This is something I got from the little ghost. It should belong to my senior brother." Xu Ge said.
Seeing Qian Qiong's expression, Si Yuzhe believed Xu Ge's words 80%, but she did not feel happy that the matter was about to be resolved. Instead, her face became even paler.
"Junior brother, this is the peach wood sword that was stolen from me. Before you took it out, I thought you were trying to trick Miss Si. I didn't expect you to be so capable. Thank you for helping me get this sword back. I have used this sword since I was a child. If it hadn't been lost, I wouldn't be arguing with Miss Si about the price. After all, a good sword costs a lot of money." Qian Qiong, in contrast to his previous argumentative attitude, walked forward enthusiastically, touched the peach wood sword and said.
"Brother, what are you talking about? According to the rules of our Xuanmen, whoever gets it owns it. Xiaobai, I remember that peach wood swords are in a booming market now. How much do they sell for on the market?" Xu Ge asked.
Qian Qiong froze. "You want me to buy my own peach wood sword?"
"I remember it was about 100,000. My family sells it at this price." This was the price that Ju Jingbai exaggerated. Her family didn't produce many Panlong peach wood swords. After it was consecrated, it could only be sold for about 80,000.
Hearing the price Ju Jingbai offered, Xu Ge immediately laughed, what a good price! !
"You...you...I can see that you are teaming up to play tricks on me, right?" Qian Qiong pointed at the two people and gasped in anger. "Just wait, my junior master is Wen Song. That guy is super protective of his people. The metaphysics competition is about to begin. Just wait for my junior master to trip you up!" After Qian Qiong finished speaking, he didn't see any expression from the two people in front of him, and even Si Yuzhe didn't try to keep him. He flicked his sleeves, opened the door and walked out angrily.
"Why is he suddenly so angry?" Ju Jingbai asked puzzledly.
"It's okay, I don't blame you. He probably thinks the price is too high." Xu Ge smiled. It's not a top-notch peach wood sword. It feels like the peach wood sword that cost forty or fifty thousand has doubled in value after being resold. He likes it very much.
"I thought this was a reasonable price." Ju Jingbai was stunned. "It's not like you can't bargain."
"Haha, that's right, this is the price." Xu Ge smiled and put the peach wood sword back into his bag.
Si Yuzhe didn't care whether Qian Qiong stayed or left, and leaned against the wall thinking secretly.
Is it true that the little devils are helping her? Is Cui Muze trying to harm her? Why would he want to harm her?
Cui Mu Ze should be very good to her, no!!!
As Si Yuzhe recalled Cui Muzhe bit by bit, her face became more and more ugly. After recalling those small details that she revealed after being too scared, Cui Muzhe felt very strange, as if he had concealed something. So when she rushed over from the small town to help her sister, was she really helping her sister?
"sister?"
Her sister, yes, she had a video call with her sister at the beginning of these days.
And she remembers her sister less and less these days, this is not right!!
"Your sister?" Xu Ge was puzzled.
"I... I'm not Si Yuzhe at all. I'm her twin sister. My name is Si Yuxin." Si Yuxin's eyes were full of panic. She subconsciously looked at Ju Jingbai and said in horror, "I almost forgot what my real name is."
