Zhou Weizong looked helpless and confused. âYoung Lady Xie, why did this happen? Why are the others fineâ¦?â
âHe was once haunted by a vengeful spirit, so of course itâs different for him. He lost his Yang energy. He can recover in a year or so, but heâs still weaker than you guys,â Xie Qiao explained slowly.
The people around Zhao Xuanjing were all full of Yang energy.
The ghouls could touch them, but they could not possess them.
Qin Zhi was the only one who was weak, so he was a pushover to them.
âIt seems like we really canât get him to follow Your Highness from now onâ¦â Zhou Weizong shook his head helplessly.
His Highness was now close to Half-immortal Xie and Master Mo. These two could communicate with worlds, so it was inevitable that they had to know about ghouls. They had to be calm in the face of danger.
Qin Zhi did not do anything, but he was possessed by a ghoul. How could anyone rely on him?
However, even if he did not follow His Highness, he could do other things for His Highness. It was just that he was not as glorious as he was now.
âYoung Lady Xie, do you have any ideas on how to deal with him? This kid⦠is quite hard-workingâ¦â Zhou Weizong valued brotherhood very much, so he could not bear to see Qin Zhi like this.
âNo. He has all four limbs, and heâs still alive. Heâs doing pretty great. Donât be greedy, okay?â Xie Qiao was very ruthless.
Zhou Weizong sighed.
Yu Xian looked at her cousin and was a little puzzled.
Her cousinâs attitude toward Young Lady Xie was a little strange. It was indeed respectful, but it was also a little excessive. It was as if Young Lady Xie was a miraculous pill, but he actually had to ask for her opinion on such a matterâ¦
Even if Young Lady Xie was from a Taoist temple and had some ability, she was still a young lady from a noble family, not a real sageâ¦
Yu Xian could not understand.
â¦
The starving ghoul was still howling just now, and its soul was very weak.
Xie Qiao took the opportunity to cast a talisman, and the golden light trapped it.
âWhy are you ghouls living here?â Xie Qiao asked.
Xie Pinggang frowned.
The starving ghoul was very uncomfortable. It struggled to escape, but it was restrained by Xie Qiaoâs talisman. It could not escape at all. After a while, it knelt down and begged for mercy.
âMaster, please spare my life! I didnât hurt anyone. I just wanted to eat something just nowâ¦â
They starved to death. After becoming ghouls, they also starved. They had been weak all this time, so they did not go to the city to do bad things.
No matter how much food it had absorbed, it could not eat its fill. Thus, it had thought that after possessing a body, it would eat. Perhaps it would feel betterâ¦
âEldest Sister, are you imitating Master Mo to interrogate ghouls?â Xie Pinggang was a little curious, but also a little incredulous.
Xie Qiaoâs heart skipped a beat. Then, her expression changed, and she hid behind her eldest brother. âEldest Brother! This is so scary⦠He wants to eat peopleâ¦â
âI thought you had grown bolderâ¦â Xie Pinggang felt that Xie Qiaoâs reaction was strange.
âNo, but⦠I have to deal with this matter. Senior Aunty Mo isnât here, so I can only bite the bullet. Otherwise, I wonât have the dignity to see her next timeâ¦â Xie Qiao said. With a sad and hesitant expression, she continued, âSigh, how are we going to interrogate such a scary thingâ¦?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xie Pinggang nodded and said in a low voice, âYou should also restrain yourself. There are so many outsiders around. It would be terrible if words get out.â
If one of them were to be disobedient and spread the news that Xie Qiao was able to see ghouls, this young lady would lose her dignity, right?
Zhou Weizong had been listening attentively, so he heard that.
Helplessly, he lowered his head and stepped on the soil under his feet.
Could he say⦠that they had long known about Young Lady Xieâs abilities?
Young Lady Xie was from the Water Moon Temple as well. How could she be any inferior?
Thinking back to when they first met, she had even dug up a set of bones!
It had to be said that Xie Pinggang had really thought too much. They were loyal to the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince prohibited them from saying anything, even if they had a knife to their necks, they would not say anything.
Unfortunately, at this moment, it would be terrible for them to argue with Xie Pinggang..
