This unexpected turn of events startled everyone.
"Second Brother!"
The fourth and fifth brothers next to him quickly helped him up.
"Second brother, what's wrong?"
"Call an ambulance immediately!"
Chu Qianlan was about to make a call when Lu Qing stopped her: "Don't rush, let me check!"
Lu Qing walked quickly to Chu Qianlin and sensed an evil aura emanating from him.
"It was fine yesterday, how could this happen?"
Lu Qing frowned and muttered something, then lifted Chu Qianlin's eyelids to examine him.
His pupils had disappeared, and his entire eyeballs were grayish-white, which was quite eerie.
"Possessed by an evil spirit, no wonder he was injured by the formation!"
Lu Qing didn't have time to think about why Chu Qianlin was like this; the most urgent thing was to save his life.
"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, carry Second Brother over here!"
The fourth and fifth brothers hesitated for a moment upon hearing this. They didn't know what Lu Qing meant, but seeing Chu Panshan and Han Ziyuan nod at them, they did as they were told.
Lu Qing instructed them to carry Chu Qianlin directly to the core of the formation.
The spiritual energy at the core of the formation is the most concentrated, which helps her expel the evil spirits from Chu Qianlin's body.
Lu Qing drew a talisman and stuck it on Chu Qianlin's forehead, then asked Han Ziyuan to steam some glutinous rice in the kitchen.
Looks like I won't be able to have this bowl of noodles this morning!
Lu Qing sighed. It would take some time to exorcise the evil spirit; she would be lucky to make it back to school for military training.
After the glutinous rice was steamed, Lu Qing took advantage of the heat and rolled it into a ball, using it to seal Chu Qianlin's six orifices, leaving only his mouth open.
After finishing everything, Lu Qing let everyone go inside.
"Stay inside, and whatever you do, don't come out!"
Lu Qing gave them another instruction and only began casting the spell after making sure they had closed the door.
"I command the demons of the Eastern Green Plague, the spirits of rotten wood... the demons of the Nine Ugly Ones, I know your names, seize them swiftly, do not linger, so be it!"
With a sharp shout, Lu Qing formed a hand seal, and a golden light quickly spread from the top of Chu Qianlin's head throughout his body.
Chu Qianlin's body suddenly trembled, and he let out a hoarse sob.
Before long, his mouth suddenly opened, and a cloud of black mist flew out and quickly fled away.
However, the Chu family was already surrounded by the formation, and it was struck down by the formation as soon as it flew into the air.
Lu Qing quickly grabbed the evil spirit, stuffed it into a bottle, and sealed it with a talisman.
After finishing everything, Lu Qing took the glutinous rice ball out of Chu Qianlin's body. The glutinous rice ball had turned pitch black, but she didn't throw it away.
"Dad, Mom, brother, you can come out now!"
Upon hearing Lu Qing's voice, everyone came out of the house.
"Qingqing, how is your second brother?"
Lu Qing replied with a smile, "The evil spirit has been exorcised, he's fine now, he just needs to rest for a while."
Lu Qing handed the six glutinous rice balls to Han Ziyuan:
"Mom, find a bowl and put this in there. When your second brother wakes up, let him eat this."
"Huh?" Han Ziyuan couldn't help but swallow hard as she looked at the pitch-black glutinous rice ball.
"This thing is so black, are you sure it's edible?"
Lu Qing: "The taste may not be very good, but he has to eat it. It's like fighting poison with poison. His body has been injured by evil spirits, and this thing can prevent him from developing any lasting illness."
"Oh well!"
Han Ziyuan found a bowl and put the glutinous rice balls in it.
Chu Qianlin was carried back to his room.
Lu Qing's stomach was growling from being busy since early morning.
But it's already 7 o'clock, and military training starts at 7:30. There's still half an hour left, and she won't make it to eat noodles in time.
Lu Qing returned to her room with a slight disappointment, intending to grab a few pieces of bread and head to school as soon as possible.
Just then, Gu Xicheng's voice came:
"The noodles are here! Which little glutton wants some?"
Lu Qing turned around and saw Gu Xicheng carrying two large bags of noodles back. The disappointment in her eyes was quickly replaced by surprise.
She rushed over in three quick steps:
"Gu Xicheng, you're so kind!"
Lu Qing excitedly gave Gu Xicheng a big hug, a gesture that instantly darkened the faces of the Chu family.
I'm so angry, but I can't say anything, which makes me even angrier!
Lu Qing happily carried the noodles into the house to eat, completely unaware of how unpleasant their expressions were.
Gu Xicheng packed three large bowls for Lu Qing, and didn't forget to pack one for everyone else as well.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, brothers-in-law, you all have some too, come and eat!"
Gu Xicheng had a faint smile on his lips, completely unconcerned about their indignant gazes.
Chu Panshan was about to say something when Han Ziyuan stopped him.
Han Ziyuan smiled and said:
"Thank you, Xiao Gu. We'll go eat in a bit!"
Gu Xicheng nodded slightly, then took his own portion and sat down next to Lu Qing.
Seeing Lu Qing push the vegetables aside, he smiled helplessly and then held out his bowl.
"Hehe!" Lu Qing smiled at him and then put all the vegetables on his plate for him.
Lu Qing doesn't like eating vegetables, but this noodle shop always has vegetables in its noodles, so Gu Xicheng always eats Lu Qing's portion.
Gu Xicheng also consciously peeled his own braised duck leg and handed it to Lu Qing.
Seeing the close and harmonious interaction between the two of them, Han Ziyuan felt a pang of sadness.
"We have no idea about Qingqing's living habits and preferences at all, so we can't take care of her as well as we can with Xiao Gu."
Chu Panshan sighed and nodded:
"Yes! We owe Qingqing so much, what right do we have to criticize her fiancé now!"
Just as the Chu family was feeling melancholy, Lu Qing's voice suddenly came:
"Dad, Mom, brother, come and eat your noodles! They'll get soggy if you don't eat them soon!"
Everyone composed themselves and put on smiles:
"Coming right now!"
After dinner, Gu Xicheng took Lu Qing to school for military training.
Before leaving, Lu Qing also gave some instructions:
"My second brother probably won't wake up until the afternoon. After he wakes up, I'll tell him to stay home and not go anywhere until I come back tonight."
"You absolutely cannot let him leave the house! Remember that!"
Han Ziyuan nodded: "Don't worry! I'm not going anywhere today, I'll just stay home and watch over him!"
Only after receiving this assurance did Lu Qing feel at ease enough to go to school.
The four people in the dormitory learned about Lu Qing's background from Gu Xicheng, and they surrounded her as soon as they saw her on the playground.
"Qingqing, you really found your biological parents!"
Lu Qing nodded, without much reaction.
"Qingqing, why do you seem so unhappy? Are your parents treating you badly?" Cheng Yiyi asked.
"No, no! They're very good to me!" Lu Qing smiled and scratched his head.
"I'm not unhappy, I'm just not used to having so many family members all of a sudden."
Lu Qing has never lacked the love of her family since she was a child. When she was at Yutai Mountain, her master and mistress truly treated her like their own daughter, and her fellow disciples were all like her brothers.
People who don't lack love won't feel flattered by sudden affection from others.
So Lu Qing was neither very happy nor unhappy. After all, with so many people caring for him, who wouldn't be happy?
Just then, the head instructor blew his whistle.
Everyone quickly returned to their respective formations.
The military training has lasted for almost a month and will end in two days, so all groups are intensifying their training to strive for good results.
Lu Qing wasn't too serious about it; as long as she could pass the grade and make sure she didn't fail, that was enough.
Before the afternoon training ended, a group of senior students suddenly appeared on the playground. They said they were from the national flag team and wanted to select people to participate in the training so that they could raise the flag every morning.
Lu Qing didn't want to go because the flag team members had to get up at five o'clock in the morning three days a week, and she didn't want to give up the opportunity to sleep in.
But the more she tried to avoid it, the more people seemed to come knocking on her door.
