"Qiuqiu, there's actually one thing I've been lying to you about."
Bai Manxing didn't seem to care that no one answered and just kept talking.
"I'm not a Taoist priest who catches ghosts. I'm just an ordinary person. In fact, the white ghost last time was also my own fabrication. I never thought it would come after you. So when I heard you met it, I was so worried. I was so scared, so scared... because my words hurt you."
"Wow, wow, wow~ This is so difficult and frustrating. Why did it have to be me? Oh God! If you really can show up, please bless Qiuqiu and me to be safe!!!"
As she was speaking, she suddenly looked up, put her hands on the railing and started yelling.
After yelling, she turned to look at Mu Zhiqiu who had been standing beside her, and their eyes met in the air.
An ambiguous atmosphere gradually spread in the air.
Mu Zhiqiu looked at Bai Manxing's red eyes silently, his black pupils filled with surprise and disbelief.
"Cough, cough, cough, ugh—"
This warm atmosphere was broken by Bai Manxing who was imitating the roar of a dragon.
"Qiuqiu, I'm sorry...it's me, it's me..." who dragged you into this.
Bai Manxing fell asleep leaning against the railing before he could finish his words.
Mu Zhiqiu looked at Bai Manxing who was curled up in a small ball. He squatted down and stared at her sleeping face with his eyes downcast for a long time. Looking at her eyelashes soaked with tears, he raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. He stretched out his big hand, picked up Bai Manxing, and silently left towards home.
The dim streetlight silently watched everything, quietly stretching and interweaving the two people's shadows...
The next day, Mu Zhiqiu, who was working alone in the milk tea shop, noticed Xu Li looking at him frequently. He tried to hold back and finally looked over when she looked at him again.
"Manager, what can I do for you?"
"Haha, Xiao Mu, you're really smart. I wanted to ask Xingxing if anything happened to her recently."
Mu Zhiqiu didn't expect this to be the question, and was stunned for a moment before speaking.
"Manager, did Manxing say anything to you?"
"Oh! She told me not to tell you, but it's been so long, and I know she likes you. She left so suddenly without saying goodbye, and I'm a little worried."
Xu Li sighed as he looked at Mu Zhiqiu who really had no idea what was going on.
Mu Zhiqiu was first shocked because Bai Manxing liked him, and then because of the four words "left without saying goodbye".
"Manager, please tell me in detail what happened to Manxing."
He felt inexplicably nervous and stared at Xu Li with a serious look.
"She asked me for her salary yesterday, quit her job, and asked me not to tell you."
"Manager, I'm taking a day off today."
After hearing this, Mu Zhiqiu couldn't stay any longer and left the milk tea shop in a hurry after leaving a few words.
"Full stars!"
When he got home, he opened the door and looked at the neatly folded quilt. He looked around and picked up a note from the table.
"Qiuqiu, I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye. Now that the evil spirit has been eliminated, I have no reason to stay. I feel bad eating and drinking for free at your house for so long. Consider this money as accommodation fee. - Bai Manxingliu"
“Damn it!”
Mu Zhiqiu cursed angrily.
In an instant, black energy surged all over his body, and all the evil spirits hiding around him were frightened and shrank into a black dot, praying that Mu Zhiqiu would not vent his anger on them.
At the same time, a ghost's birthplace appeared in a dark and damp place nearby.
Mu Zhiqiu pursed her lips and turned around to go out to find Bai Manxing, but just as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped.
Why did he look for her? What right did he have to look for her?
It's not the right time for her to leave.
Recently, because Bai Manxing has been sticking to him every day, he hasn't paid attention to the situation of those chess pieces for a long time.
The more Mu Zhiqiu thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. After giving his advice, he suppressed the urge to look for Bai Manxing.
His blood-red eyes gradually recovered, and the black energy on his body disappeared instantly.
But does he really think so in his heart?
Bai Manxing's side.
After she left, she stored her luggage and headed to the ghost village she had been to before.
Because she told Zhao Ling in advance, a big family had already gone to deal with it, but there was no movement in the ghost village day or night.
If Zhao Ling hadn't believed her, she might have been taught a lesson by those self-righteous ghost catchers.
Therefore, after Zhao Lin and Feng Yeyi dealt with another disturbance caused by evil spirits, they invited her to go to the ghost village to check the situation.
Manxing also felt that she should separate from Mu Zhiqiu for a while, and happily agreed to this proposal.
*
Looking at the familiar platform, Bai Manxing felt a strange sense of nostalgia.
This is where I first came into this world.
She sat on the platform, swinging her legs, and waited for a while before several private cars drove over from a distance.
There were three cars in total. Three people got off the first one, Zhao Ling, Feng Yeyi, and an old man in his sixties with a long beard and wearing a black Taoist robe and holding a whisk.
Three people got off the second car, a long-haired young man with a scholarly air and two uncles in Zhongshan suits.
Three people got out of the third car, a middle-aged woman and two young girls. All three were wearing blue and purple embroidered clothes and looked like they were from some sect.
"Full stars!"
Zhao Ling got out of the car and greeted first.
"Sister Zhao Ling!"
Bai Manxing raised his arms as he watched the people getting off the bus one after another.
"Hello, my name is Bai Manxing."
"Lu Qingmo."
The long-haired young man looked at the people around him who were not planning to introduce themselves and spoke first.
"Let's hurry and go."
Zhao Ling patted Bai Manxing on the shoulder and pulled him forward.
Bai Manxing looked at the arrogance on these people's faces and knew that no one was willing to interact with an "ordinary person" like her, so she simply followed Zhao Ling's actions and moved forward.
Zhao Ling had already told her on the way how many people came this time. Although they did not notice anything strange about the village, villagers in other nearby villages had begun to appear unconscious.
It is obvious that this village is no less powerful than any previous place.
Therefore, many people will come to eliminate the evil spirits in one go.
After walking for thirty minutes, they arrived at a deserted village.
Bai Manxing felt the biting yin energy just at the entrance of the village. The sky over the village was also filled with thick black air, several times thicker than the first time she felt it.
"Grandpa Feng, Uncle Lu and Taoist Qinglian, we have arrived at our destination. There is still an hour until 6pm. Everyone, please rest here first and enter at 6pm."
Zhao Ling looked at the seniors who held high positions of power behind him and spoke respectfully.
"Okay."
Grandpa Feng was the first to respond and sat cross-legged on the ground to meditate.
The others were not as skilled as the old man and all rested on the spot.
Bai Manxing noticed that the two girls in blue and purple uniforms seemed a little disgusted with their surroundings.
