Chapter 57 Chapter 57 It is late autumn, and the Theological Society...
It was late autumn, and the hibiscus flowers in the Theological Society had gradually withered. The ground was covered with fallen leaves and withered petals, and wisps of white clouds floated in the blue sky.
Gusts of wind blew through the empty theological seminary, making it seem very lonely.
When evil appeared in various parts of the world, An Si sent the students of the Theological Society out to eliminate it. Now the Theological Society is no longer as vibrant and lively as it once was.
At this time, a middle-aged woman rushed into the Theological Society in a panic and walked straight to the College of Arts. "Qiu Sheng!" She shouted in the silent Theological Society.
The woman's sudden, anxious voice echoed through the theological community, quickly catching the attention of Mu Yin, who was pruning branches beneath a hibiscus tree. Mu Yin, usually a quiet and solitary person, frowned slightly, leaned to the side, and hid behind the tree.
The woman ran into the literary courtyard and wandered around, only to find it deserted. Unable to find anyone, her voice cracked with anxiety, "Qiu Sheng, something's happened at home! Where are you?"
Mu Yin, who had been hiding behind a tree with a blank expression, heard the woman crying. He looked around and saw no one nearby responded to her. He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said in a tense voice, "Qiu Sheng has been sent out to exorcise the evil."
Mu Yin followed An Si, helping with chores, so he had the opportunity to look at the list of students in the Theological Society. Mu Yin had a good memory and remembered most of the students' names. He remembered Qiu Sheng as a student in the School of Literature.
The woman heard a cold and indifferent voice coming from not far away. Seeing the young man under the hibiscus tree with an innocent face, she thought Mu Yin was also a student of the Theological Society. She hurried forward, grabbed the young man's arm and refused to let go, crying, "Where is Qiu Sheng now? Can you take me to find him?"
The woman's face was pale, and her pale hands tightly grasped Mu Yin. Mu Yin was startled and was about to break free when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. He felt that the evil energy remaining in his heart was activated by the woman's touch.
Mu Yin's originally dead eyes suddenly contracted, and his pupils slowly turned red. In his blood-red vision, he saw the woman emitting a black aura.
"You, you..." Mu Yin wanted to say something, but his consciousness gradually became blurred until he completely lost consciousness.
When Qi Yang returned to the Theological Society after completing his mission, he saw Mu Yin's eyes were red, and he was holding a woman's neck tightly with both hands and pressing the woman to the ground.
Qi Yang was shocked. He quickly scolded Mu Yin, "Mu Yin, stop it!"
He ran to Mu Yin and tried to pry his hands apart, but Mu Yin, who was usually thin, was incredibly strong at this moment. He just waved his hand and threw the tall and strong Qi Yang out.
It was precisely because Mu Yin was distracted that he loosened his grip on the woman's neck, allowing her to make a sound and cry out, "Help, help..."
Seeing that the woman's face had turned purple, Qi Yang became even more anxious. He rushed forward and hit Mu Yin on the back of the neck with a knife.
Mu Yin, who was originally possessed, suddenly fainted. Qi Yang was busy helping Mu Yin to the side. Just as he was about to turn around to look at the woman, he saw that the woman stared at Mu Yin with evil eyes for a while, then got up and quickly ran out of the Theological Society.
"Hey! Wait a minute!" Qi Yang hurriedly stood up and wanted to chase after him. At this moment, the unconscious Mu Yin twitched slightly and suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Mu Yin!" Qi Yang didn't care about anything else. He turned around, carried Mu Yin on his back, and rushed to An Si's backyard.
······
In the bustling small town inn, Li Yian sat at the table holding a long sword, her pretty face expressionless.
Standing opposite her was Mu Yang, dressed in white, who was looking at her with an apologetic look on his face.
Li Yian glanced at the crowd at the entrance. Everyone was staring at Mu Yang feverishly, and occasionally glaring at Li Yian subtly. Although Li Yian was used to enduring this, she still felt unhappy.
Mu Yang is a troublemaker. Wherever he goes, he has a bunch of fanatical fans.
Originally, she went to the palace as an apprentice warrior according to the arrangement of the high priest, responsible for protecting the little princess. She should not have had anything to do with Mu Yang, but who would have thought that the little princess had become a fan of Mu Yang and insisted on following Mu Yang to the forest to eliminate demons and escort the white crane back to its habitat.
At that moment, the little princess stayed in the inn, angrily yelling at the crowd crowded at the door, but she couldn't yell them away. She could only turn back and order Li Yian in frustration, "I order you to drive them away."
Li Yian frowned, her face filled with displeasure, yet she remained silent. She stood up quickly, gripping the hilt of her sword. She slowly drew out the longsword, which glowed with a cold light, and gazed at the crowd.
The crowd gasped, and the noisy voices slowly died down.
Li Yian turned his head to look out the window, only to see Li Xuan leaning against a big tree, wiping his sword expressionlessly, without even looking in their direction, as if it had nothing to do with him. This made Li Yian even more displeased.
She worries too much and deserves her hard life.
Who doesn’t know how to be lazy and slack off?
Li Yian walked towards the crowd holding a sword. Because of her ugly expression, silence and cold eyes, people were scared and stepped back.
“You, what do you want to do…”
Li Yian said nothing, still moving step by step towards them. By the time Li Yian reached the door, those people had already retreated five meters away, their faces pale, and they turned and ran away in panic.
Li Yian walked out of the room and slammed the door shut.
Being close to Mu Yang, the unlucky guy, and the annoying little princess, really gave her a headache. She left the room and walked to the wooden window not far away. She pushed it open and looked at the scenery outside. The cool breeze of late autumn blew in, blowing on her face, making her mood relax slightly.
I have been on edge all this time and there is no way to relax now.
There were too many doubts and anxieties that she couldn't release, so she could only take one step at a time.
The sky outside the window was blue and beautiful. In this small town, untouched by evil, everyone seemed carefree. The streets were filled with pedestrians and vendors, the sounds of laughter and discussion lingering in the air.
"Qiu Sheng, what's wrong with you? What are you daydreaming about?"
A surprised voice sounded not far downstairs.
Li Yian had originally blocked out external noises and was planning to fish like Li Xuan, but when he heard the name "Qiu Sheng", he felt it was very familiar.
She could clearly hear a clear and pleasant voice, and replied somewhat awkwardly, "No, nothing."
Li Yian couldn't help but look downstairs, only to see a group of people wearing white clothes passing by. These white clothes were embroidered with gold thread patterns, clearly the uniforms of the Theological Society's literary school.
Among this group of people, she felt someone's gaze was always staring at her.
Li Yian quickly spotted a handsome young man in the crowd. His long, curly black hair was tied up high, with a few slightly curled strands at his forehead, giving him a delicate and graceful look. At that moment, his upturned, almond-shaped eyes were fixed on her.
Li Yian suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion flash through her heart. Because the emotion flashed so quickly, she didn't have time to analyze it. She saw the young man looking at her and slowly smiled. He said with a happy tone, "I didn't expect to meet you."
"Um?"
Li Yian was stunned. Seeing the unfamiliar appearance, he thought he didn't know this boy.
As Li Yian was trying to recall who this person was, the boy's companion called out again, "Qiu Sheng, what are you looking at?"
Qiu Sheng······
The novel setting that had been forgotten for a long time suddenly flooded into Li Yian's mind again.
Li Yian was startled and reflexively closed the window, turned around and walked quickly back to the room.
Qiu Sheng is the one who deeply loves the original owner.
Before the original owner, Li Yian, turned evil, she was a lonely and self-deprecating person like Mu Yin. She was adopted by the Mu family and lived under someone else's roof, feeling inferior to others.
The original owner, Li Yian, would always go to and from school with Mu Yang at that time, but Mu Yang would always be surrounded by a large group of people, while she would always be squeezed far away.
Her lonely personality also made her unpopular. But when she was being excluded, a cheerful and cheerful man noticed her and always tried to help her out. As he slowly got to know her, he understood her difficulties and developed a crush on her.
The man's name was Qiu Sheng. This was the character Li Yian felt was the most regrettable. Qiu Sheng, who was obviously a good-hearted and kind-hearted person, fell into the same evil after coming into contact with the original owner.
