C197 (1/2)

Xiao Hong casually stuffed the branch into the soil, making it easier for us to retrieve the fruit. I also discovered that she had carefully washed the entire branch, and the fruits that were suffused with water seemed to have a great appetite.

”Actually, I didn't do it either. I just did it according to what Master taught me. Maybe it's because Sister Bai's master taught her differently.” Xiao Hong whispered to find an excuse for me.

Xu Zizai picked the fruit and took a bite. As he ate, he said, ”Your Sister Bai was absent-minded during class. I don't think she knew what Master said.”

Luoyang has never taught me anything, and at most, she has taught me how to draw talismans. However, in the end, I only knew these talismans, and they were of no use to me at all.

”How did your master teach you?” I asked curiously.

Xiao Hong looked at Xu Zizai, and Xu Zizai sneered, ”Tell me! Just treat it as teaching your Sister Bai a lesson, otherwise she won't know about it in the future! ”

Xiao Hong nodded obediently and said, ”Master said that the most ethereal thing in this world is the soul, so to ghosts, we usually don't take the initiative to provoke them. If they don't have any intentions of fighting, then act like they don't see anything, which is a bit less troublesome.”

”They are things that you cannot touch, and that is why there are things like talisman paper formations. We are more afraid of these things, we are most afraid of seeing a ghost servant.”

I thought of that teenager when I said ghost servant, and my whole body felt like it was chilled to the bone.

”What will happen to those who meet the Messenger?”

Xu Zizai paused, looking at me with a complicated expression. With a certain tone, he said, ”Bai Jian, you've seen a ghost servant before.”

Xiao Hong was also stunned for a moment before shouting, ”Sister Bai, you've actually seen a ghost servant before!”

”Lower your voice, do you think your voice is very soft? Let's go! I remember the way that thing left. The trial of the monsters is over, so we have to go. ”

Xu Zizai looked at Xiao Hong reproachfully. It was obvious that he did not want to continue this topic. He picked up his backpack and walked away.

Even though Xiao Hong was a little confused, she didn't continue to question me. She made me walk in front of her, making me seem especially quiet along the way.

Following the direction that Xu Zizai was talking in, we actually gradually found a big road. The further we went, the more we could sense the presence of people living on the streets.

When they reached the entrance of the village, they could see the Mu Rong family. There was only three people on a table in the middle of the road.

As soon as he saw us, he started to congratulate us.

”You are the third batch of people to come here. Congratulations to you all!” ”Reveal some information, we have a reward for this!”

They were clearly three men, but why did they have to act so cute?

I wasn't interested in the reward at all. I turned around and was about to leave when I was pulled back by Xiao Hong. I could only watch as Xu Zizai continued to talk, as though he wanted to know what the reward was.

Unfortunately, the other party was the most strict. No matter how he tried, he couldn't come up with a solution.

Xu Zizai curled his lips, ”Forget it, we'll find out after we pass this place. We haven't rested for the night, let's hurry and find a place to sleep!”

A man led us to a farmhouse. The building was built in a circle and was three stories high. It looked like it could accommodate a lot of people.

As soon as he entered, he saw that there were already several people standing in the courtyard, and the atmosphere seemed to be slightly tense.
