Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Mu Yang’s door was tightly closed…
There was a very lush fig tree in the High Priest's study. In the early morning, he would carry a kettle to water it. His pale, bony fingers gripped the handle of the kettle and he turned to look at Li Yian, "Shadow?"
"Yes." Li Yian lowered his head, "I can feel that it is looking for Mu Yang."
Whenever Li Yian encountered something, her first thought was to report it to the High Priest. This gradually became her habit. The High Priest was knowledgeable and talented, and she believed that no matter what the problem, the High Priest would always find a solution.
The High Priest placed the kettle on the table, lowered his eyes, and thought for a moment. "It hasn't yet reached full strength, so it shouldn't be a problem. But we must get Qi Yang and the others to complete the Demon Capture Formation as soon as possible. Yi'an, if you encounter any problems, you can discuss it with Qi Yang and the others. From now on, the task of eliminating the evil will rely on you young people. But if you really encounter any difficulties, feel free to tell me."
The priest's voice was gentle and calm, which seemed to calm people's hearts.
Li Yian bowed respectfully and said, "Yes."
Her panic and anxiety seemed to be easily calmed by the High Priest's voice. Even though she was not good at getting along with others, she was still able to express her thoughts freely in front of the High Priest.
As she was about to turn around and leave, she saw the pale, delicate skin beneath the High Priest's silver mask and couldn't help but ask, "Why does the High Priest always wear a mask?"
Realizing that she had asked an unnecessary question, she scratched her head embarrassedly.
The High Priest seemed to be surprised by her question and was slightly stunned before quickly smiling and saying, "Because of disfigurement."
Li Yian raised his eyes in surprise and looked at the High Priest, only to hear the High Priest speak gently, "My face was injured by an evil spirit when I was a child. I wear a mask only because I don't want to scare you."
The High Priest spoke of this matter calmly, causing Li Yian to lower his head in guilt, "I'm sorry."
The High Priest simply smiled and said softly, "No problem."
Li Yian turned around in annoyance. He had always thought that he was just wearing a mask to appear more mysterious and majestic, or maybe the author had nothing better to do and made him wear a mask to appear more impressive.
I didn't expect that the High Priest was just disfigured?
It's just that the High Priest is too mysterious. Li Yian still has many questions to ask him, such as his background, age, past experiences, and most importantly, his name...
However, with Li Yian's introverted personality, she hesitated for a while and still didn't feel comfortable asking. She stood there and didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing her troubled look, the High Priest smiled again and asked, "Is there anything else, Yi'an?"
Li Yian blushed, raised his head and shook his hands, then bowed to the high priest and turned to leave.
The rising sun glared at her eyes. Li Yian raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sun and gazed at the cloudless sky. The students passing by were laughing and talking, carefree and joyful.
"Mu Yang, you haven't been attending classes with us recently..." Several girls complained.
Not far from Li Yian, Mu Yang, dressed in white, was smiling gently at the girls in front of him, "Sorry, I have something to deal with recently."
The girls lowered their heads in disappointment, "Is that so? Without Mu Yang here, class is less fun..."
Li Yian watched Mu Yang exude his charming charm to attract fans again, and silently complained in his heart, this guy is not only liked by men, but also has a lot of girls secretly in love with him, it's really unfair.
Li Xuan is now near Mu Yang. Seeing Mu Yang attracting so many people, I wonder how he feels?
However, Li Yian didn't have time to pay attention to Li Xuan's psychology for the time being. Li Yian just wanted to hug her arms and feel sorry for herself silently. Why didn't she have a peach blossom?
The original owner, Li Yian, did have a fanatical pursuer, a man named Qiu Sheng from the Academy of Literature. He was willing to do bad things to please the original owner, and in the end he even sacrificed his soul for the demon-like Li Yian, allowing his soul to be torn apart and eaten by the original owner, and he would never be reborn.
To this day, Li Yian had never seen his true face. To avoid Mu Yang, she had attended a martial arts academy since she was young, rarely attending the liberal arts academy, and barely knew anyone there. But she had no intention of getting to know Qiu Sheng either. She was already unlucky enough, so she didn't want to bring disaster upon others.
Li Yian was daydreaming when suddenly a clear and cold voice of "Li Yian" rang out beside her.
Li Yian's heart skipped a beat and she quickly turned around to see Li Xuan in purple standing beside her. He was holding a sword, leaning against a tree trunk, looking at her indifferently.
"I see you've been avoiding that guy named Mu lately. Do you hate him?"
Li Xuan's deep eyes seemed to be naturally permeated with a hint of coldness. Was Li Xuan, the extremely protective guardian, holding her accountable?
"I didn't." In order to prevent himself from saying something wrong and being hated by the prince warrior, Li Yian had to deny it quickly.
Li Xuan withdrew his gaze from her and looked at Mu Yang who was talking to someone not far away. He said, "The priest said he was the reincarnation of God. What do you think?"
The God he longed for was powerful, holy, loving all beings, and willing to sacrifice himself to save humanity. He was the source of all his faith. Meanwhile, the frail Mu Yang across from him was weak, cowardly, and had a beautiful face, a far cry from the God he longed for.
Li Yian, who had originally planned to slip away, was stunned when she heard Li Xuan asking her a question. "There is no doubt that Mu Yang is indeed the reincarnation of God."
Li Yian was stunned. Why was Li Xuan chatting with her? He watched his destined lover being hit on openly, yet he didn't step out to stop it. Instead, he questioned Mu Yang's identity in the dark with her, the villain? This...
Li Xuan's expression changed slightly when he heard Li Yian's decisive words. He turned his head to look at Li Yian and asked, "How did you know that?"
Li Xuan's words stumped Li Yian. She couldn't say she'd read a novel, could she? She lowered her head in thought for a moment, then looked up at him. "Because I believe in the High Priest." After a pause, she continued, "Now that evil is rampant, the reincarnation of God has the ability to purify it. Once we uncover the evil and have Mu Yang purify it, we'll know if it's the reincarnation of God."
Her calm and decisive words made Li Xuan's eyes a little surprised. He looked away and said lightly, "You are right."
"Ahem, thank you."
Since neither of them was talkative, they fell into a deathly silence. They stared at Mu Yang not far away with stern faces, each with their own thoughts. A cool breeze blew, and the yellow leaves on the trees fluttered down.
Two people stood there motionless, with a few yellow leaves falling on their heads and shoulders.
The tense atmosphere was broken by Qi Yang's gruff voice, "Li Yian! Where are you standing there as a door god?"
Li Yian hurriedly looked at Qi Yang not far away with gratitude in his eyes, "Qi Yang, do you have something important to talk to me about? I'll go right away." He nodded to Li Xuan and walked quickly towards Qi Yang.
Qi Yang put his arm around Li Yian's neck and laughed breathlessly. "I saw you and Prince Warrior staring at Mu Yang like two cold-faced door gods. It was so funny. I suddenly felt a little sympathetic for Mu Yang for having two door gods as difficult to get along with as you two."
Li Yian was held captive until she couldn't breathe, her pretty face flushed red. She struggled and elbowed him in the abdomen, barely able to push Qi Yang away. She glared at Qi Yang and said, "I get along very well with them. What do you know?"
Qi Yang continued laughing while holding his belly. He cursed as he laughed, "Damn, you hit me so hard."
Li Yian glared at him again. She was already worried about the obscene things, but now she was too lazy to bother with him.
Li Xuan looked at Li Yian playing with Qi Yang and murmured thoughtfully, "Not only is he avoiding that guy named Mu, but he's also avoiding me? Humph, what a weird guy."
He thought of his second brother's advice, "I heard that Li Yian has a bad temper, and your temper is also... Well, you should try to control your temper..."
Li Xuan snorted, "It has nothing to do with me anyway."
He stood up proudly, touched the ground with his toes, jumped onto the treetop, and disappeared in a moment.
Inside the Mu family mansion.
In the dark room, a black shadow twisted its body like a snake and crawled on Mu Yang's bed. It was obsessed with breathing in Mu Yang's lingering fragrance: "God, the smell of God..."
A figure in the corner laughed crazily. The hoarse and gloomy voice was as harsh as sandpaper grinding against glass. "Remember his smell. Kill him."
His pale hands clenched slightly, and his lips curled up arrogantly, "I want his power, everything about him."
The black shadow crawled down, wagging its tail at the man in submission. After getting the man's permission, it twisted its body and crawled onto the man, and the shadow gradually penetrated into the man's pale skin.
"It's filthy, evil, and disgusting..." The man had a sarcastic and disgusted smile on his face, and his eyes were as gloomy as a poisonous snake.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. The man frowned slightly, opened his lips, and a cloud of black smoke came out of his mouth. The black smoke quickly extended and formed a black shadow.
The black shadow quickly squeezed out through the crack in the door and happened to collide with a young woman in black. The black shadow quickly raised its sharp claws and grabbed the woman fiercely.
Li Yian saw a black shadow running out of Mu Yang's room again, and attacking her frantically with its five fingers formed into claws. She was immediately shocked and quickly drew out the long sword at her waist and stabbed forward quickly.
The sword's power was immense, piercing the shadow and shattering the door behind it in two. The shadow then vanished in a puff of smoke, leaving Li Yian stunned for a moment, unable to react.
What's going on? Why can't I harm that evil? Is it just a black mist?
