Guobei Town.
"Treasurer, this is the account book, I will review it for you."
In the inn, Ning Caichen enthusiastically handed a brand-new account book to the shopkeeper, who suddenly changed his complexion, swallowed, and asked in disbelief.
"Boy, you... did you really go to Lanruo Temple to stay overnight?"
"Yes indeed."
Ning Caichen nodded, and when he didn't know it, he quickly urged: "Treasurer, look at what's wrong with the account book, so I can get the money and go back to Jibaozhai for business."
"Here you are, here you are—"
Knowing that Ning Caichen really spent the night in Lanruo Temple last night, the shopkeeper quickly took out the silver, as if sending a plague god, and waved his hand.
Immediately, he asked a little bit unwillingly.
"Then you... Did you meet anyone or something else last night..."
Even the shopkeeper on the side and the others in the inn leaned in curiously.
"Yes, I met Miss Xiao Qian in the backyard of Lanruo Temple last night..."
"Girl Xiaoqian..."
"Is that right?"
"Hush!"
The few people looked at Ning Caichen's gaze, and they became strange, sympathetic, jealous, and envy!
"baffling!"
Can't help shaking his head, Ning Caichen is also a little strange, as if thinking of something, patted his head, and muttered: "I almost forgot, now that I have money, I can buy some wine and food, go back and treat Master Fahai well, and Big beard..."
suddenly……
A gust of wind blew through, and Ning Caichen was a little bit unable to open his eyes.
But seeing a scroll of paintings one after another, finally fell into the arms of Ning Caichen, attracting the latter's attention.
"Well, what is this?"
Some curiosity opened the scroll, but it was a meticulous painting. The woman in the painting is dressed in white, with a touch of sadness between her eyebrows. The whole person seems to have come alive from the painting.
"Xiao Qian!"
Noting the woman's appearance, Ning Caichen stood on the spot as if being hit hard.
Until I returned to Lanruo Temple, I was in a trance.
…………
"Scholar, what's wrong with you?"
In Lanruo Temple, learning that Ning Caichen was going to return the silver, and also bought wine and vegetables to entertain herself and Ye Chen, Yan Chixia also seemed very happy.
but……
After only a short while, he also saw that Ning Caichen was a little absent-minded.
"I……"
Opening his mouth, Ning Caichen also shook his head, and said with a strong smile: "It's nothing, I'll go for a walk."
"Hey."
Ye Chen and Yan Chixia also shook their heads when Ning Caichen left.
Based on their experience, how can you not see what Ning Caichen's heart is so heavy for?
The latter, after leaving Lanruo Temple, went to the backyard of Lanruo Temple again, and saw the white figure once again.
"Girl Xiao Qian."
"You... why are you here again?"
Seeing Ning Caichen's appearance, Nie Xiaoqian looked a little flustered, but even more secretly hurt herself.
She was originally from a scholarly family. She suddenly fell ill and died on the way to the capital. She was buried in a mass grave near Lanruo Temple, and then she became a female ghost under the opponent's grandmother by the tree demon's grandmother. To make false claims, he has to entangle with all kinds of men and seduce them to be fooled, so as to provide blood for the dryad grandmother.
This kind of helplessness, and betraying one's hue, as if there is no end to the day.
For Nie Xiaoqian, it was a torment!
She also hopes that one day, she can break free of the tree demon's grandmother's claws, but she knows how powerful the other party is, and dare not be a little bit unwilling.
A few days ago, the tree demon grandma actually told her that Nie Xiaoqian had been betrothed to the black mountain master as a concubine.
This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for her.
That's why I only appeared in the pavilion in the backyard of Lanruo Temple last night, expressing the sadness in my heart with the sound of the piano, but I didn't want to meet Ning Caichen, and the other party understood what he said.
"Girl Xiaoqian, look..."
But seeing Ning Caichen brave enough, he took out a picture scroll from behind and handed it to Nie Xiaoqian.
"this is……"
Shaking and opening the picture scroll, Nie Xiaoqian was also taken aback.
How can she not recognize the woman in the painting?
Obviously is yourself!
"Where did you get this portrait?"
Some could not believe her eyes, Nie Xiaoqian trembled.
This painting was actually painted by Nie Xiaoqian during his lifetime, but because of his death, he has long been missing.
But don't want to...
It fell into the hands of Ning Caichen.
"This is when a gust of wind blew in front of me when I was shopping in the market during the daytime today..."
Ning Caichen nodded, and hesitated: "Girl Xiaoqian, do you have something on your mind?"
"Young Master Ning, I..."
Perhaps it was because he saw his relics during his lifetime, or perhaps he found that Ning Caichen was a destined person in his life.
This sentence seemed to open the heart of Nie Xiaoqian, who also rushed into Ning Caichen’s arms and choked with sobs:
It’s true that I am a female ghost, because I was buried in a mass grave nearby here. Because of this, she was chosen by my grandma and became her subordinate. The day before yesterday, she actually said that she would marry me to the black mountain master... Ning son, please help me!
Such a sight of pear blossoms with rain also made Ning Caichen somewhat at a loss.
After all, Ning Caichen also understood that he was just an ordinary scholar and had no power to bind a chicken, how could he fight against a monster like the tree demon grandma?
"Girl Xiaoqian, I have a way!"
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Ning Caichen's eyes lit up and said quickly.
"follow me!"
…………
"Big beard, Master Fahai!"
But seeing Ning Caichen directly return to Lanruo Temple, he knelt to the ground with a thud.
"I know you two are capable people, please, please save Xiao Qian."
"Hey, fool."
Ye Chen also shook his head. Although he had decided to eliminate the tree monster grandma when he accepted the task, Ning Caichen's timid and fearful character actually took the initiative to ask herself and Yan Chixia for help for a female ghost. ...
"Is it worth it?"
Yan Chixia also looked at Ning Caichen and snorted coldly: "For a female ghost, you are not afraid to sacrifice your life?"
"I……"
Ning Caichen's expression changed, but he resolutely said: "It's worth...As long as I can, Xiao Qian, I will not hesitate."
"Young Master Ning!"
A faint female voice sounded.
It's Nie Xiaoqian.
It turned out to prevent the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian from being discovered by the two.
Ning Caichen also asked the other party to wait outside Lanruo Temple to wait for news, but Nie Xiaoqian witnessed the scene where Ning Caichen had to ask Ye Chen and Yan Chixia for help at the expense of his life, and he couldn't help being moved.
"How can Xiaoqian do, it's worth your doing for me?"
