The boys' dormitory building of Nanming Middle School is similar to the apartment buildings outside, 8 stories high, with elevators installed in the corridors.
Jing Cheng originally thought that a double room was a room where two people lived together. But after going upstairs, he found that the so-called double room was a suite for two people. The two bedrooms in the suite were closely connected, and it had a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and a balcony, although the area was not large.
But this is no different from a single room...Thinking of this, Jing Cheng was a little disappointed. He still wanted to let the other party see how heroic he was in drawing talismans.
We can't let him draw talismans in a place like the central hall where people come and go, right?
Jingcheng didn't have much stuff. Apart from clothes and shoes, the rest were his professional equipment.
In order to avoid suspicion, Qin Yan sat on a chair in the middle hall waiting for him, browsing his phone for a while and replying to WeChat messages.
He had set his cell phone volume to vibrate during class, and the phone in his pocket kept vibrating throughout the entire class.
He opened his phone and saw that it was full of messages from Fu Le.
[Fu Dasha: Holy shit! Brother Yan, did you and Jing Laoer know each other before? ]
【Fu Dasha: Why didn’t you say so earlier? 】
...
...
[Fu Dasha: Big brother! Check the message! Dongzi and the others are planning to punish him. He just asked me if you would intervene. How should I answer?]
[Fu Dasha: There are several people from other classes who want to get involved. Damn, how could Jing Laoer offend so many people? ]
【Fu Dasha: I saw this, please reply, I’m waiting online!!!】
Qin Yan frowned. What a mess!
He checked the time and saw that the last message was from ten minutes ago.
[Yan: Are you sick? Bullying new classmates?]
As soon as the message was sent successfully, there was a reply from the other side.
【Fu Dasha: !!! Big brother, you finally replied to me!!】
【Brother Yan: Stop talking nonsense. Who are they? What's the reason?】
[Fu Dasha: In addition to Dongzi, there are also Sui Tangan, You Chi, Sun Xiao and others from the next class.]
【Fu Dasha: It is said that Jing Laoer bullied a female classmate in his previous school and forced the girl to drop out. A few months ago, the girl died in a car accident. At that time, Jing Cheng happened to be in the social news for racing and killing someone. How could it be such a coincidence? By the way, the girl is a friend of Sui Tangan's new girlfriend.】
Seeing the long message sent by Fu Le, Qin Yan frowned even deeper. He really couldn't imagine that Jing Cheng had done these things.
He couldn't help but look up at the young man who was busy packing things in the bedroom. His every move was gentle and clean. How could it be possible?
【Yan: What about the others? 】
[Fu Dasha: I don’t know about the others, but this one is disgusting enough, although I don’t know if it’s true or not.]
That must be fake!
Qin Yan thought that his intuition had always been accurate since he was a child, and he didn't believe in this kind of thing from the bottom of his heart.
[Fu Dasha: No way, Brother Yan, you mean to interfere? Are you serious?]
Qin Yan took a look, poked the phone screen with his finger, and didn't reply.
Because Jingcheng had already come out of the room.
Qin Yan stood up and put his phone back into his pocket.
"Have you cleaned up?" Qin Yan glanced at the room out of the corner of his eye. Was he dazzled? He seemed to see a sword hanging on the wall?
"Yeah." Jing Cheng nodded.
Qin Yan suppressed his curiosity, knowing that he would find out sooner or later anyway.
Recalling the WeChat message he had just seen, an idea suddenly popped up in Qin Yan's mind. He pretended to ask casually: "By the way, I heard that you like racing?"
Hearing this, Jing Cheng looked at him in confusion: "Who told you that? Aren't minors not allowed to get a driver's license?" Not to mention speeding... He is a loyal viewer of the legal channel, how could he break the law knowingly?
Qin Yan observed his expression carefully and felt that this must be his innermost thoughts.
This made him feel relieved. He said, he doesn't look like he can drive, so how could he possibly go racing?
"No one." Qin Yan relaxed his brows and said briskly, "Let's go, the cafeteria should be open for dinner by now."
Jing Cheng was a little confused and had to follow him.
While waiting for the elevator, Jing Cheng realized belatedly, could it be that Yuan Jing Cheng liked racing?
He couldn't admit it!
Jing Cheng thought decisively that he must be perfect and must not have any dark history, otherwise how could he accept disciples in the future?
However, from what he had heard from Brother Jing before, he probably understood that Yuan Jingcheng had a bad reputation, which might affect him.
Now his future apprentice knows his dark history. Although it is not his, he has taken over Yuan Jingcheng's identity. The cause and effect are there.
Thinking of this, Jing Cheng turned his head and looked at Qin Yan sadly, then sighed heavily. There is still a long way to go!
Qin Yan: “…”
What's that expression on your face?
…
When Jing Cheng came out of the dormitory building and walked towards the cafeteria, he finally sensed the location of the yin energy.
He stopped and pointed to an old building in the distance, "What is that place?"
Along the way, all the buildings we saw were magnificent, except for that building which seemed to be built in the wrong place. Not only were its walls gray, but large areas of the wall paint were peeling off, and the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, making it extremely desolate.
"Where are you talking about?" Qin Yan looked in the direction he pointed, was stunned for a moment, and then answered, "That's the haunted building."
"Haunted building? How do you know there's a ghost in that building?"
Jing Cheng was shocked. Although he could feel a negative energy there, he was not sure if there was a ghost there.
There are many things in this world that carry yin energy, such as newly unearthed burial objects, relics of deceased people, walls burned by fire, old bamboo utensils, or... places where yin gathers.
Jing Cheng looked back and found that the building was built on the shady side. There were no other buildings around it, only a few old trees surrounding it, towering like a canopy, almost submerging the entire old building.
When he looked closely, it turned out to be the willow tree, one of the Five Ghost Trees!
Jing Cheng's heart sank. It was indeed a place where yin gathered, and it was formed artificially.
Qin Yan smiled and said, "It's not a real ghost. It is said that every century-old school has a haunted building. Nanming Middle School also has a century-old history, so naturally there is such a building."
Jing Cheng was slightly embarrassed. What kind of answer was this?
Seeing that he seemed very interested, Qin Yan showed off and explained the origin to him: "It was originally a girls' dormitory building. About ten years ago, a girl was trapped in love and suddenly jumped off the building in the middle of the night.
The next morning, someone found a body that had been smashed into a puddle of mud downstairs, and the whole school was shocked. Most girls were timid, and they had nightmares every day after seeing the body. Many parents thought that the place was unlucky and asked the school to change the dormitory building for girls... In short, the building was abandoned."
Jing Cheng was surprised: "If it's abandoned, why not just flatten it? Wouldn't it be in the way if it's left here?"
Such a shabby building seems out of place surrounded by many tall and beautiful buildings.
Qin Yan sighed and shook his head, "Why else would you call it a haunted building? We did consider demolishing the school, and the construction team came a few times with the excavators ready, but every time the job came, workers got injured and something went wrong. Somehow the news got out, and no construction team dared to take the job anymore."
At this point, he frowned and concluded: "Anyway, it's pretty weird."
Isn't it supposed to be evil? It is a place where yin gathers.
Jing Cheng thought, it’s better to deal with this kind of thing as soon as possible. The longer you put it off, the more likely it is to go wrong.
"Besides, it's old and shabby there, and it's filled with a gloomy atmosphere. Doesn't it look like a haunted house?" Qin Yan approached him and deliberately lowered his voice, "Some people say that they saw a female ghost in red crying here, so no one dares to approach here at night."
Jing Cheng: “…” This is too much boasting. Only an evil ghost can wear red clothes. If an evil ghost can be seen by people, this person will not live to spread rumors.
After he finished speaking, Qin Yan saw that he had no expression on his face and did not seem to be scared, so he said depressedly: "Aren't you afraid?" He suppressed his curiosity after hearing this rumor.
Jing Cheng looked at him helplessly, wondering what was wrong with this guy. Didn't he know that he had been frightened since he was a child? But Jing Cheng thought about it again. The other party really didn't know what he did, and it was normal for a teenager to have such a mentality.
Qin Yan: “…………”
There it is again, that look he gives his grandson.
Qin Yan thought painfully that sometimes it is not good for people to have too accurate intuition, and they have to pretend to be confused. In fact, he really wanted to ask the other party, "Do you have any misunderstandings about him?
However, Qin Yan had a hunch that he would most likely get an answer that would make him collapse, so he decided to keep silent.
Silence is golden.
