Chapter 9 Ghosts
Baili Wuming immediately covered his face, his cheeks were faintly hot.
"what are you doing?"
Duan Qing smiled, and explained calmly: "This is the thank you gift that senior brother should give me."
"Thank you?" Baili Wuming rubbed the drool left by Duan Qing on his cheek with the back of his hand, "I don't think you have done anything that needs my thanks."
Duan Qing frowned, and sighed helplessly, "Brother is really ruthless! If it weren't for my help, you wouldn't even be able to descend Lingxiao Mountain! You owe me this."
The two thin lips parted, Baili Wuming turned his head to one side, pointed the back of his head at Duan Qing, and muttered softly: "I don't need your help at all."
"I heard it!" Duan Qing walked around to the other side of Baili Wuming, staring at Baili Wuming's face, "If it wasn't for me, would it be possible that the senior would really plan to withdraw from this inspection?"
"No." Baili Wuming denied it very simply, "I will not quit, absolutely not."
Seeing the resolute expression on Baili Wuming's face, Duan Qing wrapped her index finger around a strand of hair on her ear temples with great interest, her purple pupils narrowed slightly, "Why is senior brother so obsessed with patrolling?"
"Because..." Baili Wuming hesitated to speak, "Because it is the mission of the outer disciples of the Hefeng Sect to patrol the mortal world and kill demons. If I don't go, it will be as if I am no longer a disciple of the Hefeng Sect. generally."
"You have such affection for Hefengmen!"
"No." Baili Wuming shook his head, "In short... I must become stronger."
Seeing Baili Wuming tightly clenched his hands into fists, Duan Qing couldn't help but cover her lips and snicker.
How dare a weak person who is still at the first level of Qi training after five years of entry have the face to say such a thing?
"Why do seniors want to become stronger? Immortal cultivators... are all pursuing immortality, right?"
The footsteps gradually slowed down, Baili Wuming stopped, raised his head and took a deep breath.
"I don't want to live forever...I just want to be strong, to be strong enough...and find someone to take revenge on."
"Oh?" Duan Qing raised her eyebrows, and asked meaningfully: "Revenge... Who do you seek revenge for? What kind of revenge?"
The image of being invaded by the demons in the cave five years ago suddenly appeared in his mind. Baili Wuming's face was bloodless, and he couldn't help shaking.
"Nothing to do with you."
Watching Baili Wuming passing by her, the cynical smile on Duan Qing's lips became more and more evil.
He was also recalling the scenes that happened between him and Baili Wuming five years ago.
If Baili Wuming hadn't taken away his demon seed in the end, the enjoyment at that time would have become the best memory in his long life.
"It's really delicious!"
"What did you say?"
Baili Wuming who was walking ahead stopped and turned his head.
Duan Qing immediately changed to a harmless expression, and leaned forward, "I mean...brother is like me, I also want to work hard to become stronger, and then find someone to take revenge on."
"Oh?" Baili Wuming was curious, "Who is it?"
Touching her chin, Duan Qing pondered for a while, and the man in the blue and white long gown and holding the ancient jade slips appeared in her mind thousands of years ago.
Subconsciously, he touched the jade slip around his waist
"...is a beauty."
"What?" Seeing Duan Qing's nostalgic look, Baili Wuming couldn't help thinking that Duan Qing's revenge was different from his, and it probably had something to do with women!
"Oh, by the way, there is something I want to ask you, you..." The voice paused, Baili Wuming felt as if his face was flushed, "Did you... come to my room last night?"
"Yes, I have!"
As soon as Duan Qing finished speaking, she saw Baili Wuming's eyes widening.
"Didn't I make a special trip to deliver a necklace to senior brother last night, and was kicked out by senior brother!"
Realizing that what Duan Qing said was not the same as what she thought in her heart, Baili Wuming breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't mean that time."
"Not then... when was that?"
"It's just..." Scratching the back of his head, Baili Wuming's face turned even redder, "It's just later, late at night... when I was sleeping, you... did you..."
"So senior brother was expecting me to attack you at night!"
"Of course not!"
Baili Wuming yelled angrily, while Duan Qing put her hands behind her hands nonchalantly, smiling like a flower.
"I still respect senior brother very much. Why would I sneak into my brother's room in the middle of the night! Senior brother, do you think so when you see me in a dream?"
"I..." Baili Wuming scratched his hair irritably, and muttered softly, "Even if it's a dream, the person you dreamed of wasn't you."
"...Really?" After a moment of silence, Duan Qing shrugged, and the smile in the depths of her purple eyes became a little colder.
At this time, the cold wind blew up and the dark clouds covered the sun. The two of them had already arrived at the inspection site——Zhangjia Village.
Looking around, there are broken walls and ruins everywhere, a barrenness, the crumbling thatched cottages are empty, as silent as dead ashes, only the tombstones in front of them are still standing despite the weather.
Pieces of tombstones and grave bags render this dilapidated and desolate village just right.
"It's really a cemetery!"
Duan Qing took a deep breath with enjoyment, "This kind of atmosphere is the most suitable for ghosts and monsters to appear on the stage! Maybe there are ghosts..."
Baili Wuming next to him trembled all over.
