Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

It would have been fine if Yu Lan hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as she did, Mi Ji couldn't help but stare at Gu Yan, staring at him in confusion.

No, how did this matter involve him and Hang Hang again?

Gu Yan quickly explained: "Don't look at me like that, I won't lead Hang Hang astray."

"Oh ~ no ~" Yu Lan laughed strangely, which made Gu Yan feel even more weird.

Why does Yu Lan mention Hang Hang over and over again? There is nothing wrong between him and Hang Hang. Hang Hang is so good and obedient. He is also very cute when he calls him brother.

He's...wait, no, cute?

The more Gu Yan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He suddenly understood the way Mi Ji looked at him and why Mi Ji suddenly attacked him in the copy!

Several people were riding their bicycles with different thoughts. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little silent, Zihe opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

"Aunt Zihe." At this time, a small voice sounded. Zihe turned around and saw that it was the tiny Yu Zian.

Zi He smiled at him: "Young Master, what's the matter?"

"Aunt Zihe, what is that?" Yu Zian pointed curiously towards the opposite mountain. Zihe looked closely and saw a grand building standing opposite. They could only see the curved eaves of the building, and more conspicuous than the building was the tree next to it.

There are many trees growing on the opposite mountain, but there is a very tall tree that stands out because it is a dead tree.

"That's the family ancestral hall over there." Zihe said with a somewhat lonely tone.

"What about the tree next to it?" Yu Zian was very curious about the tree. He was an elf and had a special feeling for plants. Seeing such a big dead tree at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"That tree... I heard it was planted by an ancestor in the past, and it's very old." Zihe said: "The tree was already like this when I came, but I heard it was still alive and well a few years before I came, and then it died overnight. The family members were reluctant to part with the old tree, so they didn't cut it down. They all believed that the tree would still live."

"Yes." Yu Zian believed what Zihe said: "It will definitely survive!"

But what kind of tree was that? Zihe recalled in her mind. She seemed to have heard someone mention it before, but she had forgotten.

The sky above was dyed red by the setting sun. Zihe felt the distance and said apologetically, "Miss and Master, I'm sorry, the sun is about to set. It's about half an hour away from the dojo."

Even though it's only half an hour, the sun will set quickly and it will be completely dark by then. It will be very dangerous to walk in the dark at that time. After all, the mountain road is rugged and no one can predict what will happen.

"It's okay, continue." Yu Lan said calmly, and Zihe continued to lead the way in front.

After they walked along a small path and passed through a bamboo forest, the road ahead of them suddenly became clear, and even the road under the ground turned into a bluestone road.

After walking a little further along the bluestone road, it became completely dark. However, the dojo was still some distance away and only the edge of a building could be seen from afar.

The weather was good today, and the moon in the night sky was very bright, just enough to illuminate the way forward for everyone. But this was not enough for Yu Lan. Just as she was about to take out the fluorite for lighting, she saw a little fire suddenly lit up on the roadside in the distance, and it looked like something was on fire.

The fire spread very quickly, until it lit up beside them, Yu Lan and the others realized that it was not a fire, but just a flame floating in the air. The orange light spread along the roadside, lighting the way for the returnees.

There was a hint of surprise in Gu Yan's eyes: "So beautiful."

"Yes." Zi He also smiled. "The situation in the mountains is unclear, and it is not suitable to install street lights. But my young master has night blindness, so my family made this magic circle for him... But because of night blindness, my young master doesn't like to go out at night, so this magic circle is usually only lit for distinguished guests who visit at night."

"So that's how it is." Gu Yan and the other man exclaimed, and continued walking along the road which was very bright because of the lighting of the flames. They didn't notice that Yu Lan, who was walking in front, had tears in her eyes.

"Really..." Yu Lan said in a low voice, "I didn't even know this thing existed."

There was a fork in the bluestone road. Zihe turned a corner and said, "Young Master and Miss, please follow me. The dojo is on the west side."

Gu Yan looked back at the road on the right, but unfortunately, due to the swaying shadows of the trees, he could only vaguely see the building and a corner of the courtyard wall. But with just that one glance, Gu Yan couldn't help but sigh: "Your house is so magnificent."

"Master Gu, you are too kind." Zi He smiled slightly: "That's the ancestral home. The owner is not here, so we can't go in."

Mi Ji was intrigued when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Is your master not here? Then what's the matter with the dojo we are going to now?"

"The dojo is where the clan members practice. Visitors can stay in the dojo or go to the courtyard next to the dojo." Zi He couldn't help but smiled and said, "As long as you have the life to live there."

Soon, a house appeared in front of them. It was made of black tiles and blue bricks, similar to the small building they saw halfway up the mountain, except that it was much wider. In front of the small building was a large square with some patterns in the middle divided by bricks of different colors, which looked like a Bagua diagram.

It seems that this is the Taoist temple that Zihe mentioned.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come this way." Zihe bowed and saluted, then took them up the stairs next to her to the second floor. There was a corner at the end of the second floor: "The area facing the outside is where the disciples have classes, and the area behind is where the disciples live."

"Disciples are used to hard training, so the accommodation conditions here are average. Zihe suggests that you each have a room. Of course, it's also OK for two to share a room like these two young masters do."

Zihe stopped at the second room and said, the doors and windows of the house were all very antique wooden doors and windows, and there was a thick curtain behind the door to block the light, but she could smell two people in this room.

It seemed that they heard a sound outside the door, and the curtain of the window was slightly lifted. After discovering that the people coming were Yu Lan and her friends, the people in the room opened the door.

The person who opened the door was A-Qiao. They had arrived at the dojo a long time ago.

"Yu Lan." A Qiao greeted Yu Lan: "Are you back from the Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts?"

"Yeah." Yu Lan replied with a smile: "How is it, this room is pretty good, right? Did you find anything?"

Speaking of this, A Qiao's expression was a little strange: "Well... come and take a look."

As he spoke, he opened the door completely, revealing the scene inside.

The rooms here were originally prepared for disciples to gain experience. They are not luxurious but very simple.

The furniture for daily use is all there, but it can't be said to be very good. Each room has an independent bathroom. The only bad thing is the resting place... There is no bed in the whole room, only a hard beauty couch.

Aqiao seemed to be tired from walking on the mountain road, so he lay down on the couch and fell asleep.

Although Yulan is not picky about where she lives, conditions usually don't allow it. Who wouldn't be happy to live in a better place?

Yu Lan looked at Zihe and smiled teasingly: "This room is quite spacious." But apart from being spacious, there is nothing else good about it.

In response, Zihe lowered her eyebrows and replied docilely: "My master said that coming here is to train one's character, you can stay here if you want."

"That's too much. Is this how you treat guests?" Yu Lan sighed, "Look at the bed, it's so hard, there's not even a mattress, and the quilt is only a thin layer. How can we live here?"

"Zihe is not in charge of this area. If you have any questions, you can talk to the sister who is in charge of housework here." As she said this, Zihe raised her head and pointed behind everyone, only to see a pleasant woman with lowered brows appear at the stairs.

She was wearing a light blue ancient costume and simple makeup, but she exuded an aura that should not be underestimated. Looking at her pale face, Gu Yan knew that this person was also a ghost.

"Qinghe greets the young lady and the young masters." The woman named Qinghe bowed and saluted. She spoke softly and seemed very well-behaved, which made Gu Yan begin to doubt Qinghe's age.

He always felt that Qinghe's behavior was very similar to the servants in wealthy families that he saw on TV dramas.

"Sister Qinghe, you came at the right time. Miss is not satisfied with the environment here. What do you think we should do?"

Qing He glanced at Yu Lan calmly, then lowered her head and said, "Since the young lady is not satisfied, why don't you move to the courtyard? The family has already ordered the rooms to be cleaned for you."

Yu Lan was somewhat moved, but she was also a little scared. She turned to look at Gu Yan and the others: "What about you?"

"We can live anywhere, but Xiaoyu you..." Yu Lan heard the unfinished meaning in Gu Yan's words. This was the question she was thinking about.

She frowned and thought for a while, then looked at A Qiao next to her. A Qiao shook his head: "Arthur is tired, let's rest here today."

As he spoke, he leaned over to Yu Lan's ear and said, "I've checked this side, there's nothing wrong. The rooms over there in the dojo are all locked and I can't get in. I plan to go check it out tonight."

"You guys should take a look at the situation tonight before making a decision. This is a den of ghosts, so you'd better be careful." Yu Lan sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go to the other courtyard with you."

"Miss, please follow me." Qinghe smiled gently, and Zihe also said goodbye: "Then Zihe will take her leave first. Miss, please have a good rest, and come to play with me again when you are free."

As she spoke, Zi He turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared in front of everyone.

Qing He led Yu Lan and the others, who looked bitter, out of the dojo and walked to the back of the dojo. Mi Ji saw that the road they were going to was not the direction of the ancestral home, and asked curiously: "Miss Qing He, where are we going now?"

"Master, it's the other courtyard." Seeing that Mi Ji was still confused, Qing He smiled and explained carefully: "The owner of the other courtyard is a guest elder of the clan, and also the teacher of my young master."

"Because of the need for classes, my young master is lazy and lives in the other courtyard. I am his close maid."

After walking for a while, a magnificent gate appeared in front of them. Gu Yan finally understood why the young master of this clan was so lazy as to live here. After all, it was less than three minutes from the dojo, but it would take at least ten minutes from the ancestral home.

"Then, is your master at home now?" Yu Lan couldn't help but ask.

"My master is the young master. But the elder is entertaining guests right now and can't leave for the time being."

"That's good." Hearing Yu Lan's words, she felt inexplicably relieved.

Qinghe led the three of them through the front hall, through two moon-shaped doors, and walked through a winding corridor before stopping.

Along the way, even the well-informed Gu Yan and Mi Ji could not help but sigh. Qinghe said it was a yard, but it was actually a garden, and a garden covering a large area.

The decoration inside the garden is very elegant, with dim lanterns lit everywhere. Although not dazzling, it can just allow people to see the road under their feet clearly. When he came here, Gu Yan realized what it meant to see a new scene with every step. It was really dazzling.

"Two young masters, this is where you will live." Qing He led them through another moon gate and pushed open the courtyard door in front of them to reveal the scene inside.

This is a small courtyard. Although it looks small, it has everything inside. There are also four maids and guards in blue clothes waiting in the living room.

Gu Yan exclaimed, then realized something was wrong: "Wait, where does Xiao Yu live?"

"Master, the women live on the other side."

"No." Gu Yan refused immediately. He had not forgotten the meaning behind the condition that those who died at night would not be resurrected. If the three of them were separated at this time, they would not be able to help Yu Lan if something happened, and that would be the end of her.

Mi Ji didn't want them to separate either. The four of them stood in front of the courtyard gate in a stalemate. They all turned to look at Yu Lan to see how she would make a decision.

"Hmm..." Yu Lan pursed her lips and thought for a while: "Then let's not separate. There shouldn't be a room for me in such a big yard."

"Miss, are you sure?" Qing He couldn't help but whispered, "Qing He is just afraid that it will be too lively at night and disturb the rest of the two young masters."

"What's the excitement?" Gu Yan keenly noticed that there was something wrong with what Qing He said, but Qing He kept silent at this time.

"Ah, this..." Yu Lan hesitated after hearing Qing He's words. She scratched her hair in annoyance. "Forget it. I'm exhausted after running for so long today. It's your responsibility to let the guests have a good rest, right? You have to watch over the yard and don't let others come to disturb us, at least not today!"

Qing He was hesitant, but when she saw Yu Lan's haggard face, she immediately responded, "Yes, then please have a good rest. I will have someone bring food over later. You can tell them if you need anything."

As he spoke, Qing He bowed slightly and left here briskly.

Facing the suspicious gazes of Gu Yan and Mi Ji, Yu Lan glared at them in feigned anger, but said guiltily: "What are you looking at! Why don't you go in and be the door god here!"
