" “Should be, I haven't told anyone at the guardian temple about... what you did with your mother... against the opponent of the temple of the guardian god..." The voice of Moting was complex. " "Should be, I haven't told anyone at the guardian temple about... what you did with your mother... against the opponent of the temple of the guardian god..." Moting's tone was complex.
"However, your level of neixia cultivation exceeds the judgment of Yang Guanshu. Ma is ranked among the top martial artists in Qin City's zombie removal family. Being directly shaved off his head by you must have been a tough blow to him. He's in close contact with dead bodies every day, so it's likely that he won't have a good time for some time now."
At this moment, Xu Ying's mood eased a bit, and asked me: "You are so heavy-handed just because he said something disrespectful to you and tried to hurt you?"
"Are there any other factors involved?" She said this with an evident hint of expectation in her eyes.
"I didn't really beat him that badly, but if it weren't for the fact that I still need to cooperate with Huang Si, he would have died." I answered calmly.
"Ah..." Moting was rendered speechless.
"The day is nearly breaking. Why don't you rest at your place," I added.
"You..." Suddenly, a faint blush appeared on her face.
"There are not lacking talents in the guardianship temple, and you didn't previously realize that there are still people in the temple who are on good terms with Huang Shu. This doesn't mean that there aren't any others, but they could be like you, following me. It's easier for me to return to my 'home' and cause problems."
"If your place isn't convenient, I can find somewhere else to rest," I said immediately.
Xu Ying's gaze lingered on my face for a long time, as if she wanted to see through me.
"So, get out of the car," she said, biting lightly on her lower lip.
...
... Inside the elevator, the last button light went out, a ding sound, and it arrived at floor 33.
The elevator door leads to a neat white shoe rack.
"The elevator serves two households, and there's another family on the back floor," said Moting with a pleasant tone of explanation. "If it weren't for various restrictions and the fact that Yang Guanshu is targeting you, the guardianship temple is quite good to its people."
Xu Ying's home is located in this high-rise community.
In other words, most of the nine rivers scholars in the guardianship temple live here.
I didn't respond.
Xu Ying's slender fingers pressed on the fingerprint lock, and then she entered her home.
The living room is a soft champagne color, with no central lighting, the light is also gentle.
The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a vast night view.
The entire house is very simple, with a beige sofa in front of it, and a small coffee table.
The light yellow bamboo weaving items were arranged on the table.
The most prominent were various sizes of toy mice, looking lively and lifelike.
Especially the two black pupils, I couldn't figure out what Xu Ying used to decorate them, they were extremely dark.
In addition, there were also long-armed mantises and scorpions with extremely curved tails...
At first glance, they seem delicate, but a closer look reveals a strong sense of cunning.
"Seeing your curious expression, you haven't seen it before," Xu Ying's eyes sparkled under the soft light.
"It's bamboo weaving, it used to be common in the countryside, I grew up in the village, so I can do it too," I replied.
"You're so uninteresting," Xu Ying hummed lightly.
She then led me to the guest room on the right side of the house, which was fully furnished.
She then whispered a warning to me not to sneak into her room, and then turned around and left.
I certainly wouldn't go into Xu Ying's room.
Xu Ying has a bit of a problem.
It's just her personality.
She seems to be a flirtatious and romantic person, but in fact, I felt it last time. She's not like that at all.
I'm afraid her outward personality is related to her nine river cultivation technique?
Which is why her words and actions seem to be laced with an invitation to men.
It's only a portion of the people in the guardianship temple that covet her.
Although there are many kinds of nine rivers cultivation techniques, I don't know which one it is.
Besides when we first met, she has never really lured me.
As my thoughts were in a daze, I went to take a bath first to dispel the negative energy on my body and then went to bed to rest.
When I woke up, the room was filled with sunlight.
I've recovered quite a bit, feeling especially energetic.
As I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw Xu Ying in the living room at a glance.
She was wearing a slender nightgown with a thin sash around her waist, crossing her legs and sitting on the sofa, her delicate fingers flexibly manipulating bamboo strips.
Half of a toy mouse was already shaped.
She didn't apply any makeup, but she was still stunningly beautiful.
This was completely different from her sultry look after applying makeup.
The sunlight coming through the floor-to-ceiling windows was even more abundant, causing her nightgown to subtly glow.
I turned my head, moved my gaze away.
"Beautiful?"
Xu Ying put down the bamboo strips and asked softly.
"Let's go, we should go find Zhao Yao now," I said with a calm tone, but my voice still had a slight hoarseness.
Xu Ying covered her mouth, laughing like silver bells, with a hint of smugness.
She got up, her delicate steps light as she returned to her room.
Soon, Xu Ying came out.
A simple light-colored long dress, completely different from what she wore before.
"You're planning to go into the half-built skyscraper during the day? But prison knows no day or night, don't you?" Xu Ying asked me.
"Zhao Yao isn't in the half-built skyscraper."
My emotions returned to normal, and my voice sounded as usual.
"She's not out? In that situation, the living can't get out!" Xu Ying's eyes were filled with shock.
I didn't explain, and walked towards the living room door.
...
As I left the parking lot, I felt as if there were some faint, almost intangible eyes following our car.
Xu Ying deliberately rolled down the window, her smile like the air was sweet and syrupy.
I slightly frowned, but I didn't pay much attention to it.
Xu Ying is helping me.
It's reasonable to act as a shield for her.
After we left the neighborhood, I said for her to drive to Caoxi Road, Fenghua Estate.
Xu Ying's expression was still puzzled.
I only explained one sentence, but Xu Ying's expression was still puzzled.
If Zhao Yao's phone can be reached, it must mean that she has left the half-built skyscraper.
Therefore, it can be deduced that there must be more than one entrance and exit to the half-built skyscraper.
Also, she can safely come and go, which is related to the strong negative energy she carries on her body.
If the core of the half-built skyscraper is Zhao Kang, other ghosts will be afraid.
Xu Ying finally understood then.
During the journey, Xu Ying stopped the car once and rushed me to have a meal before continuing on the road.
Caoxi Road is an ordinary street.
Fenghua Estate is an old-style residential area.
Zhao Yao lives on the first floor of Unit 3.
When knocking, I familiarly pressed my finger on the cat's eye.
Most people have a habit.
If a family doesn't often have visitors, they will look through the cat's eye.
Even if the cat's eye is broken, people will still feel the urge to open the door.
Just like the thin man who controlled the ghosts at Sihe Hotel, who opened the door despite the cat's eye being blocked.
The sound of knocking on the door echoes in the hallway.
But no one came to open the door.
Xu Ying glanced at me uneasily, mouthing the question, "Not there?"
I slightly furrowed my brow, and took out a small copper piece from my pocket.
Xu Ying's lips slightly parted, and her eyes were full of surprise.
I aimed at the spot and directly inserted the copper piece into the gap, then pushed it with force.
The sound of snap, the lock, was open!
I was about to push the door open.
Suddenly, a strong force from behind the door pushed it shut with great force.
The lock made a click sound, and the door closed!
My face turned pale, there was someone in the house. She stood silently behind the door, waiting for me without making a sound.
