The Lian family is haunted in broad daylight
The figure walked closer with steady steps, saluted solemnly, raised a smiling face, and said:
"Your Highness Changsheng, my father heard that you were coming and he was very impressed with our house and the people. He said that we must make some good preparations. I can't persuade him, so how about taking you to visit the garden first?
"In this northern border, our Lian family is renowned for its elegant and refined beauty. Two things are passed down by word of mouth: the tea from Lianjia Mountain, and the unique elegance of our garden, which is unforgettable."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyuan said "hmm" calmly.
Suddenly, the smile on the visitor's face became brighter and more charming, and the young man next to him also breathed a sigh of relief.
The man, wearing a slate blue and white round-necked robe, walked around to her side and winked at the boy.
The young man in moon-white clothes suddenly brightened up his eyes and shouted happily, "I'll go make tea for Your Highness!" Without even looking back, he ran away happily.
A group of maids with elegant and graceful temperaments hurried over.
One by one, white and round hands were raised, some holding up oil-paper umbrellas to cover the two people, while others were holding engraved brass plates and carrying food boxes from behind.
There was a formation engraved on the brass disc, and a faint cool air lingered around.
The man in slate blue slightly bent over, raised his hand and said with a smile:
"Your Highness, please."
Jiang Jingyuan raised his foot and walked forward.
She was originally on the mountain, thinking of observing the situation in the Lian family from afar for a while.
As a result, I walked to the top of the mountain and looked down for a long time, but I still saw that the house was quiet and there was no sign of anyone moving around.
It's not surprising. There is a formation or magic weapon that blocks the prying eyes of outsiders. Anyone who is capable will never tolerate the risk of living under the constant sight of outsiders.
Since she was already there, she simply went straight to the Lian family to find out what was going on.
Along the way, a long line of people walked slowly.
Lian San, dressed in a stone-blue robe, spoke out from time to time to explain. He had a bright smile on his face, as if it was welded to his face and did not change for a long time.
——Not a bit of impatience.
Jiang Jingyuan: "..."
The bright and dazzling light from the sky shines down.
In a light blue and white dragon-like scene, the girl, like the moon surrounded by stars, is wearing a dark green silk gown with a stand-up collar and a double-breasted button-down pattern.
As she walked, the short orange skirt that was not exposed at the end of her gown surged like waves.
It was like a single drop of vibrant color dripping into soft water, or like a brilliant green gem half-hidden beneath the soft white sand.
Just a glance up, and in an instant, my sight caught that beautiful figure.
A group of people walked leisurely on the path.
The warm wind blew back and forth in the cool air, and suddenly, the girl turned her head sharply.
She looked straight at a place not far behind her.
Next to her, Lian San suddenly stopped talking, but the smile on his face remained. He subconsciously followed her and looked back.
In that area, on both sides of the winding path, there are lush vegetation, branches sprouting, and small, bright red fruits dotted sparsely and densely among them.
It's pleasing to the eye, but there's nothing there.
Jiang Jingyuan stared blankly, with a hint of hesitation between his brows, and slowly turned his head back.
Beside him, Lian San also turned his head back without changing his expression, and tilted his head slightly to face the girl.
He raised his hand and pointed at the fruit on the small tree in front of him, smiled gently, and said softly:
"Your Highness Changsheng, the fruits on the trees we grow here are very sweet in the summer. One summer ago, my younger brothers and sisters took advantage of the fact that no one was around to climb up and pick the fruits. When they were picked, the flowers and trees fell down..."
He smiled softly and said, "So since that year, the elders in the family would have people pick the fruit in advance and make wine or cakes to go with tea."
Jiang Jingyuan didn't react much, just listened quietly, and his expression returned to calm.
Lian San raised his hand and gestured towards the small pavilion in the center of the lake in the distance. He bent down, smiled gently, and asked:
"Your Highness, Xiao Qi's tea is about to be delivered. Shall we go to the pavilion and have some cakes?"
——The tone was so intimate, as if he was coaxing a child.
"Is this old-fashioned... and elegant outfit of mine wasted?" Jiang Jingyuan was stunned.
Who are you if not you? What qualifications do you have to talk to me in such a tone...?
The corners of Jiang Jingyuan's mouth twitched.
Suddenly, Jiang Jingyuan frowned and turned his head abruptly.
Her pair of pitch-black eyes were suddenly filled with coldness and sharpness. She looked straight ahead, but her sight fell on a quiet rockery covered with grass and trees.
Jiang Jingyuan: "...?"
Jiang Jingyuan pondered, and with his spiritual sense, he poked Xu Qinglin in the magical weapon killing realm and asked curiously, "Xu Qinglin, have you noticed anything?"
Xu Qinglin heard this, and after a moment of silence, he sensed it and responded, "What? Nothing."
Jiang Jingyuan was stunned, but his brows became more and more furrowed.
Around him, the maids with elegant and dignified temperaments had stiff smiles on their faces.
For a moment, the hands of the person holding the umbrella, the person holding the brass plate, and the person carrying the food box all trembled at the same time.
Only Lian San kept smiling and didn't ask anything, waiting quietly and patiently.
However, he was also feeling very upset and wanted to ask someone right away.
Go ask...
Who was the one who was exposed and noticed something was wrong!!!
Damn it.
Who is this person? Why is he running around after cleaning up such a large area of ruins? Is he running in front of people to kill them?
Lian San smiled with his lips pursed.
"Is there really nothing there..." Jiang Jingyuan turned around, staring in the direction he came from, lost in thought, "Why do I feel like... there's something watching me?"
She subconsciously raised her hand and stroked her head, muttering in her heart, "...It fell behind my head."
But Xu Qinglin said no...
She is not someone who trusts the outside world very much. In fact, she is full of suspicion and distrust of everything in the outside world.
But Xu Qinglin - who was basically the same as her, sharing the same honor and disgrace with her, had no need to lie to her.
She didn't notice anything that had any connection with Xu Qinglin, and anyone who could do this... must not be an ordinary person.
There is no need for a person like that to hide anything in front of her.
After comprehensive judgment, Jiang Jingyuan chose to believe Xu Qinglin's answer.
Jiang Jingyuan retracted his gaze, turned around, and said "hmm" to Lian San beside him.
Although she didn't like his attitude, she didn't care as long as it didn't involve serious matters.
What's more, after being interrupted by that strange feeling, she no longer had the heart to complain.
Next to him, Lian San was stunned when he heard the words. It took him a long time to realize that she was responding to his previous proposal.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Lian San responded with a smile.
The group of people swam like a dragon, winding and cruising, slowly and leisurely, and walked onto the low plank road on the lake.
The warm wind blew by, lifting the black hair and making countless sleeves flutter.
The maid with an elegant and graceful temperament walked lightly, carrying a food box and walked into the small pavilion first, spreading the food one by one on the stone table.
Amid the sound of soft fabric rubbing against each other, maids in groups of three or two stood on tiptoe and raised their hands to untie the short and thin white gauze sheets that were placed on the sides of the small pavilion.
In the breeze, the white gauze floats like clouds.
Looking outside the pavilion from inside, and inside the pavilion from outside, the mountains and rivers appear and disappear, and the sky is hazy.
Jiang Jingyuan walked up to the small pavilion, and a soft sigh of laughter came from the breeze.
So close, it seems like it's right next to my ear.
Jiang Jingyuan stood still in an instant.
In the bright sunshine, the girl was dressed in dark green satin with a warm oily green color. She lowered her head, her dark eyes staring at the flowing orange-red hem of her skirt.
His face was hidden in the vague grayness, and his expression was unfathomable, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Jiang Jingyuan stared at the ground in front of her clothes and skirt. The gauze of the pavilion fluttered lightly, and her vision suddenly darkened.
It was gray, and a large shadow was cast in front of the skirt.
The surface of his silk gown suddenly became dull, with only the edges on both sides outlining a bright golden color that was almost white, with some concave and some convex, and some sparse and some dense.
Jiang Jingyuan raised his head slowly and extremely slowly.
Behind her.
A figure covered in a large and exquisite black cloak stood quietly, following closely.
The sun is shining brightly.
The wide black cloak does not look monotonous at all, but instead has a fine luster, making it look more luxurious and flamboyant.
The hood of the black cloak slowly fell down, and the edge of the fabric scratched the girl's neck, shoulders and back.
A chilly air hit the back of the girl's head, barely noticeable.
He lowered his head and slowly let out a soft laugh and sigh in Jiang Jingyuan's ear.
Jiang Jingyuan: "!!!"
Jiang Jingyuan's pupils trembled suddenly.
Gnashing his teeth, his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves, Jiang Jingyuan called out in his mind:
"Xu Qinglin..."
The clear and cool voice suddenly became heavy and cold.
In the magic weapon killing realm, Xu Qinglin seemed to realize that the problem was serious, and his fair hand slowly put down the slender pen.
She raised her delicate and beautiful face little by little, her eyes full of seriousness and coldness, and responded.
"Did you hear it..." Jiang Jingyuan said, "that sigh of laughter."
My mind was quiet for a while.
Xu Qinglin: “……?”
Xu Qinglin's serious expression vanished, and he replied speechlessly, "...No."
"No?!!"
Jiang Jingyuan was instantly furious and almost jumped up from the spot.
She widened her eyes, her tone full of disbelief:
"No? How could I not hear it? I clearly heard it! It was very close, almost right next to my ear!!!"
Xu Qinglin frowned when he heard this, then he concentrated on sensing it again and said:
"No, I really didn't sense it."
Jiang Jingyuan couldn't believe it. He turned his head suddenly and looked behind him.
The view suddenly became bright and open.
Jiang Jingyuan raised his hand and touched the back of his neck bit by bit, muttering in his heart:
"But, the cold air was blowing on the back of my neck just now..."
A wisp of gray mist appeared out of thin air and stroked the back of her neck. Then, Xu Qinglin's faint voice sounded:
"It's hot."
Jiang Jingyuan fell into deep thought.
"Are you seeing a ghost?" Xu Qinglin asked casually.
Jiang Jingyuan was stunned, turned around and looked at the people in the small pavilion.
The maid with an elegant and dignified temperament retreated to a place not far away on both sides, lowered her head and eyes, with a faint expression on her face.
And Lian San, who was standing beside the stone table...
The gentle smile on his face did not change at all. He just waited for Jiang Jingyuan quietly, without any emotion, and it seemed that he was not aware of anything at all.
Jiang Jingyuan's heart suddenly sank.
Although it was a hot summer day, her limbs and bones were getting colder and colder, and she felt like she was falling into an ice cave.
She turned her head and looked behind her in disbelief. The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. She turned back and looked forward.
His eyes met Lian Sanwu's gentle gaze, and Jiang Jingyuan thought silently, "Your Lian family... is haunted in broad daylight...?"
