Chapter 71 It turns out you are really not a human being!
Shen Qing dragged Xiao Qihao into the house, and peeked out through the peephole again with concern. Only when he was sure that Ye Xiang had not followed him did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Just now, the two of them secretly cooperated with each other. Xiao Qihao attracted Ye Xiang's attention, and he attacked him when he was not prepared. Only then could the two of them escape successfully through the teleportation talisman.
Now that the address of the office has been exposed, Ye Xiang will definitely send someone to keep an eye on it. It is not convenient for him and Xiao Qihao to go back.
Xiao Qihao collapsed to the ground, looking at Shen Qingze's worried face, and said gloomily,
"Teacher Shen, I'm sorry..."
"What?"
Xiao Qihao held his forehead, thinking back that Ye Xiang might have come to Shen Qingze's office because of him. Did he implicate Shen Qingze?
"Ye Xiang came here for me. Have I implicated you? I will compensate you for the loss of your office."
Shen Qing smiled crookedly, stood up and patted his head.
"What are you thinking? I don't blame you. He wants to kill me. Have you forgotten? He will do it sooner or later."
Xiao Qihao nodded in silence, and was pulled up by Shen Qingze's arm.
"Get up. Your butt won't get cold if you sit on the ground. I'll go cook two bowls of noodles. You can just make do with it."
Xiao Qihao followed behind Shen Qingze and watched him busy in the kitchen. Soon, two simple bowls of vegetarian noodle soup were served. The two of them ate silently in the living room, each holding their own bowls.
Xiao Qihao ate faster than Shen Qingze, put down his chopsticks and asked,
"Teacher Shen, Ye Xiang seems to be hiding some secrets. I have never seen the power in him before."
Shen Qing slurped the noodles in his mouth.
"Did Ye Xiang ever tell you about him before?"
Xiao Qihao picked up the water at hand and took a sip. This young master was not arrogant and did not dislike anything. He even drank ordinary drinking water in a plastic cup with relish. He drank it in one gulp and then said,
"Ye Xiang only told me that he was raised by his master. In fact, we have never talked to each other about our own affairs,"
"He has always been brooding over the death of his master. After we separated, I had no idea where he went. It seemed like I really didn't know anything about Ye Xiang."
Shen Qing said jokingly,
"Then why are you so persistent in pursuing her?"
Xiao Qihao scratched his chin embarrassedly.
"After all, it's my first love. He's the only one I've ever loved in my life."
Sometimes Shen Qingze really wanted to pry open his brain to see how such a top student could fall in love.
He sighed helplessly.
"I plan to go back to the underworld and find out something."
"Then I'll go with you."
Shen Qing threw a ball of tissue at him.
"Go to hell, have you forgotten what I said? If you go to the underworld, you will be like a piece of meat thrown into a pile of hungry wolves, and the ghost energy in the underworld will affect your body."
“Then why can you go?”
Xiao Qihao looked at him with a look of disobedience on his face, obviously thinking that Shen Qingze was deceiving him and just didn't want to take him with him.
Shen Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"So you really didn't believe the reason I gave you at that time."
"What's the reason? When?"
Shen Qing looked at him with amusement and said lightly,
"That's when I said I'm not alive."
Xiao Qihao's face suddenly changed. He jumped away from his seat, trembling as he took several steps back. He bumped into the stool and the decorations around him without noticing. He looked at Shen Qingze in disbelief with his pale face and open mouth.
"Be careful, don't break my stool."
Xiao Qihao was so frightened that his voice was shaking.
"Teacher Shen...you, you are not kidding...don't scare me."
Shen Qing put down his chopsticks, propped up his chin and looked at him mysteriously.
"Do I look like a living person? I thought you already knew I was a ghost."
"Then how can you still act like a human? Don't ghosts float? No, then why can you still catch ghosts? Are you really not a human?"
Shen Qingze wondered if he was taking the opportunity to scold her. Why did he seem to be getting more and more upset the more he talked?
He sighed and said,
"If I really wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago. Don't worry, I'm a good ghost."
Xiao Qihao still looked defensive, as if he was also thinking about the credibility of Shen Qingze's words.
"You really didn't lie to me?"
"Why would I lie to you? If I were a bad guy, I would have thrown you into a pile of ghosts and eaten you to pieces."
Xiao Qihao was silent. He really couldn't refute this. After all, he was able to come back alive from the underworld because of Shen Qingze's protection.
He let down his guard, apologized to Shen Qingze, and took the initiative to take on the task of washing the dishes for both of them - throwing the dishes into the dishwasher to die on their own.
After finishing everything, he came out of the kitchen and saw Shen Qingze sitting in the middle of the living room, fiddling with a formation.
"Teacher Shen, what is this?"
Shen Qingze put his index finger on his lips, signaling him to be quiet. Xiao Qihao quickly covered his mouth with both hands and stood quietly by the side watching his movements.
Shen Qing bit his fingertips and dripped blood onto the complex talisman array on the ground. The dark red bloodstains meandered along the cinnabar lines.
The wind chimes by the window suddenly rang without any wind. The sharp sound pierced the silence. Blue-gray mist surged out from the formation and condensed into a strange vortex in the air.
Xiao Qihao took a half step back, his back hit the edge of the sofa, and he was tripped and fell onto the sofa.
A pale shadow of chains appeared in the mist, and the White Impermanence wearing a tall hat slowly stepped out, dragging the chains with it. His long scarlet tongue hung down to his chest, and a cold ghost aura lingered around him.
At his feet, a hunched little ghost timidly poked his head out, half of his bones revealed under his gray and tattered clothes, and ghostly green fires flickered in his eye sockets.
Xiao Qihao widened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him in surprise.
"Boundary!"
Shen Qingze's voice was wrapped in trembling spiritual power, and his fingertips pointed at the four corners of the house.
The little ghost shuddered all over, and immediately jumped and disappeared into the shadow of the wall, leaving light blue ripples wherever he passed.
As the last ripples dissipated, the entire house was shrouded in a translucent barrier, isolating it from outside prying eyes.
"I don't know when Ye Xiang will come to see you again. Stay here and don't leave this house. Wait for me to come back."
Shen Qing pulled off the silver chain around his neck and stuffed the pendant engraved with the Big Dipper into Xiao Qihao's palm. The metal still carried his body temperature.
"The barrier can block the eyes and ears of ordinary people, but the fluctuations of spiritual power cannot be hidden from the cultivators. If you encounter danger, crush the pendant."
Xiao Qihao held the pendant in his hand and nodded seriously.
"Teacher Shen, you have to be careful."
Bai Wuchang suddenly laughed strangely, and the chain "clattered" around Xiao Qihao's wrist. Xiao Qihao's face turned pale, and Shen Qing joked,
"Master Bai, stop teasing him."
"I will be back in two days. During this time, this little devil will protect you."
The little ghost in the shadow by the wall spoke softly, quietly poked his head out and looked into Xiao Qihao's eyes. He laughed twice, as if to show friendliness, but it scared Xiao Qihao so much that his hair stood on end.
Shen Qing followed Bai Wuchang into the talisman formation, his clothes rustling.
The fog suddenly surged, and three phantoms twisted and dissipated in the talisman formation, leaving only the undried bloodstains on the ground, glowing dark red in the moonlight.
