C8 Such Courage as a Shadow Guard?

"The weather is dry, be careful of the candles. "

Dang!

When the first sound was heard, a strange wind blew from the ground. The lanterns in the courtyard of Duke Qii's mansion were swaying. There was no wind, but the leaves were rustling. Bai Lin, who was sleeping soundly in the room, was woken up by the wind. When he thought about what Qii Yao had said today, he no longer felt sleepy.

"When meeting Buddha, behead Buddha. When meeting ghosts, behead ghosts. When meeting Buddha, behead Buddha. When meeting ghosts, kill ghosts. His Royal Highness was not afraid. Will I be afraid? " Bai Lin sat up and picked up his sword. He sat by the bed, keeping an eye out for any movements outside the door.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed past the window. He could not help but shiver. He remembered what Qii Yao said today. That old granny did not mind to chat with him. . .

He didn't believe that there really was such an evil thing. He took his sword and walked out. There was no one in the huge courtyard. There was only a strange silence. A strange laughter came from somewhere. He turned his head and was shocked by the door that was suddenly closed.

He pulled out his sword and held it in his hand. "Show yourself if you dare. "

He walked into the yard and felt a white shadow flash behind him. He turned around, but there was nothing. Bai Lin's hand holding the sword was soaked in cold sweat. Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine. He turned around and saw a white shadow standing not far away.

Her messy long hair was fluttering in the wind, and her white dress was fluttering in the wind. Bai Lin stared at her nervously, holding the sword and slowly approaching her. "You. . . You, you, who are you?"

The woman in white didn't say anything. Her head suddenly twisted, and the moment her long hair flew up, she revealed a pale face.

Bai Lin was so scared that his eyes rolled up and he fainted.

Qii Yao took off the wig and walked to his side. She squatted down and patted his face. "Hey, brat, you really fainted from fright?"

Bai Lin was really scared and did not move at all. She burst into laughter. This brat was so timid. With just this bit of courage, he was actually the Shadow Guard beside Xiao Quan? It was fake, right?

The next day, the servant hurriedly came to report that Bai Lin was not feeling well and had returned to the capital early in the morning.

Duke Qii also felt strange when he heard this. He was fine yesterday, why was he not feeling well today? Qii Yao, who was sitting by the side, could not help but laugh. She was scared by her.

"Yao, did you do something good again?" Duke Qii glanced at Qii Yao. This girl was laughing secretly just now. Qii Yao looked calm as if she did not know anything. "What can I do? I told him a ghost story yesterday. He had nightmares at night. It has nothing to do with me. "

"You. . . You have the nerve to tell such a scary story?" Duke Qii was almost angered to death by Qii Yao. Qii Yao looked innocent. "Dad, he is timid. Plus, there are rumors about me having night travel. He is afraid of me. What can I do?"

Duke Qii did not say anything. He just sighed deeply. "You are lucky that you can marry him. Don't be so picky. If this continues, who will dare to marry you?"

Qii Yao got up and went to Duke Qii's side to massage his shoulders and back. She said earnestly, "Dad, when he goes back like this, he will definitely talk about me in front of His Royal Highness. No, His Royal Highness might really not dare to marry anymore. But it doesn't matter. I still want to be filial to my father for a while. "

"Stinky girl, if you were a man, it would be fine. But you are a daughter's family. Sooner or later, a daughter's family will get married. "

"I can choose not to marry. Who says that women can't do business? Besides, the widow of the Spring and Autumn State, Ba Qing, was a female businessman. Didn't a woman become a female richest man? "

"Do you know how to settle accounts?" Duke Qii's words completely blocked Qii Yao from saying anything. Could it be that his daughter failed in math like him?

Duke Qii saw that she was unable to speak. You don't even know how to read the account books, and you still want to be a female businessman? Where's the richest woman? You don't need to stand up and talk. If I let you manage the Qii family's business, sooner or later, I will pay for it without even knowing it. "

"Dad, your words have really hurt me. Why don't you send me, Qii Yao, back to my mother's womb and reform her? Maybe I will become smarter when I come out. " After Qii Yao said that, she raised her eyebrows.

Then, Qii Yao's scream came from the courtyard.

"Ah! Murder! Dad, I was wrong!"

"Stinky girl, look at me, if I don't beat you to death today, I'll let you reincarnate!"

The Imperial Power Residence.

When the people in the prefecture found out that Bai Lin had been scared away after staying in Qii family for a night, they started to worry. After all, the rumors in the shop were true. This Miss Qii was indeed not a normal young lady.

"Why would our Royal Highness marry that Miss Qii? With her coming here, I'm afraid that the days in the manor will not be peaceful in the future. " A sixteen year old young man carrying a flower pot complained discontentedly. As soon as he finished speaking, his head was fiercely slapped by the old butler. "Stinking brat, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Butler Chen, I'm just complaining. . . "

"Shut up, how can the matters of the future Princess be discussed by us servants? Be careful not to be heard by the Royal Highness, your life will be in danger. " Butler Chen glared at him. How old was he? He had no rules and regulations.

The young man curled his lips and replied, "I am only speaking the truth. Who in the Capital City doesn't know about Miss Qii. . . "

Butler Chen was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand to hit him, but unexpectedly, he saw a figure walking towards him. Butler Chen was shocked. He quickly ordered people to get busy and walked towards Xiao Quan to apologize. "Your Royal Highness, you are back. It was my fault for not managing properly that I let these servants talk nonsense. "

Xiao Quan just glanced at the people on the ground and said, "It's okay. I don't blame you. It's just that I don't want to hear about this in the future. "

Butler Chen broke out in cold sweat. From the tone of his Royal Highness just now, he could tell that his Royal Highness was warning him.

As soon as Xiao Quan returned to the study, someone came to report, "Royal Highness, General Chu is here. "

"Let him in. "

Chu Fengxuan strode into the room and bowed before asking, "Your Royal Highness, are you really going to marry Miss Qii?"

Xiao Quan frowned and raised his cold eyes, "What? Do you all have a problem with me marrying her?"

"I don't dare, but I heard that the rumors are not very good. So. . . " Before Chu Fengxuan could finish, Xiao Quan added faintly, "Although the rumors in the market aren't necessarily false, since I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I naturally won't believe it. "

"Subordinate. . . Subordinate saw it with his own eyes. " Bai Lin, who had just entered, had a pale face, which made Chu Fengxuan feel that he was seriously ill. So he asked, "Bai Lin, what happened to you?"

"Your Royal Highness, Miss Qii really cannot be married. I saw last night that there was a female ghost in Qii Mansion. " Just as Bai Lin finished speaking, Xiao Quan put down the book in his hand heavily. Chu Fengxuan was shocked. What was going on?

"If there are ghosts in the world, why can't I see them?" Xiao Quan's cold eyes stared straight at Bai Lin. However, he didn't mean to blame Bai Lin for speaking nonsense.

Bai Lin didn't want to talk about what happened last night again. He almost lost his life. Chu Fengxuan supported his chin and said, "I also think what His Royal Highness said is right. If there really is a rumor about ghosts and gods, I have never seen it before. "

"But I saw them!" Bai Lin pointed at his panda like dark circles. He had seen it with his own eyes.

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Xiao Quan asked calmly. Bai Lin was startled. Could it be that what he saw last night wasn't a ghost?

Xiao Quan knew the reason, so he continued, "Your weakness was exposed that day in the restaurant. You didn't even dare to face what you saw. Then you can only be blinded by the truth. "

Bai Lin suddenly realized and was furious, "So it was that Miss Qii who did it. She. . . She actually pretended to be a ghost to scare me. "

"Pffft, in this world, only you are afraid of ghosts. If I don't scare you, who would I scare? Besides, as a person, he is magnanimous and has a clear conscience. Since he is upright and upright, why would he be afraid of those evil ways? " Chu Fengxuan couldn't help but smile and said confidently.

Chu Fengxuan saw that even Bai Lin was scared to such an extent. He was even more curious about what Miss Qii looked like.

After knowing that it was Qii Yao who was pretending to be mysterious, Bai Lin had a backbone again. Tomorrow when he went to West Suburb City, he would definitely find Qii Yao to settle the score with her.

Chu Fengxuan and Xiao Quan walked in the courtyard. He was still quite worried. Although Bai Lin's martial arts was powerful, it was very easy for him to suffer a loss in one matter.

"Your Royal Highness, aren't you afraid that Bai Lin will be at a disadvantage if you just send Bai Lin over?"

Xiao Quan pursed his lips and said, "That is a chance to train him. "

"What about you, Your Royal Highness?" If he married that woman, was he not afraid of losing out? Xiao Quan stopped and turned his face to the side, answering calmly, "If that woman can make me lose out, it means that she has some ability. "

Chu Fengxuan looked at him in surprise for a while. "You were not like this in the past. How long have we been back in the capital? You are actually willing to talk about a woman with me?"

"Compared to those women who easily give in, I think the sheep who resist are more interesting. " Xiao Quan turned around and left.
