After returning to the mansion, Xia Houxun's face was always full of smiles, and he greeted Bai Chenke with care, which made Bai Chenke murmur in his heart.

"What did the monarch say that made you so happy?" Bai Chenke asked.

Xia Houxun was taken aback, just about to say something about Guan Guojun, but luckily he lied and said he was going to see his father before he suddenly remembered himself.Xia Houxun hurriedly made up a few nonsense words to prevaricate, and then asked: "Bai Chenke, have you heard of our national teacher, Bai Sujiu?"

Bai Chenke froze, and hurriedly replied: "...No!"

"That's strange, you don't know that he is such a famous person." Xia Houxun looked at the panic flashing through Bai Chenke's eyes, and the smile on his face widened: "The national teacher is very good-looking. The person is okay. I have always envied the elder brother of the prince who can often listen to the teachings of the national teacher... There was a time when I was very unconvinced. Master. Now..."

Xia Houxun paused for a moment, and noticed that Bai Chenke's eyebrows were twitching, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Now I'm thinking about it!"

Bai Chenke forced a smile and said, "Why?"

"Because I... have you!" Xia Houxun sneered.

Bai Chenke was baffled by his words, and blushed incidentally.However, Xia Houxun bounced back to the house in a good mood, leaving Bai Chenke to figure it out on the spot.

Bai Chenke conveyed Bai Sujiu's idea to Xia Houxun.Without saying a word, Xia Houxun put it into action, and dug out the spies buried in the mansion that afternoon.

"Hey, Bai Chenke. Did you come up with this idea? I really can't see that you are quite scheming." Xia Houxun asked playfully.

Of course, Bai Chenke insisted that he couldn't confess Bai Sujiu, so he could only quickly interrupt: "Okay, man, let's deal with it. It's time to think about how to deal with that ghost."

"That's your responsibility... You see, I have no strength to restrain a chicken, how can I deal with a ghost." Xia Houxun spread his hands innocently.

Looking at Xia Houxun's playful expression, Bai Chenke always felt that this guy seemed to be a different person after he entered the palace and came back.However, what Xia Houxun said was not unreasonable. He was a mortal, but he had yin and yang eyes by chance, and now he was still powerless in the face of that ghost.

"Forget it, go and rest, I'll watch you." Bai Chenke said helplessly.

Xia Houxun went back to the room to read the book, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Bai Chenke who was meditating in the corner.

"He looked quite young...why did he die..." Xia Houxun felt a sympathy in his heart.

Bai Chenke was still closing his eyes and meditating without knowing it, but Xia Houxun had already listed a hundred possibilities in his heart about how he died...

At night, Xia Houxun washed and went to bed on time as usual.However, his heart was always up and down and he couldn't close his eyes.

"Bai Chenke, tell me a story." Xia Houxun looked at Bai Chenke eagerly and said.

Bai Chenke said with a bitter face: "How can I tell stories... and I'm here to help you exorcise ghosts, I'm not here to tell stories..."

"Bai Chenke, I can't sleep..." Xia Houxun said in a long voice.

Bai Chenke saw that Xia Houxun was clearly playing a scoundrel, although he felt helpless, he didn't know how to refuse.

"...well...a long time ago, there was a mountain...a Taoist temple on the mountain...I..."

"Stop, stop!" Xia Houxun said dumbfoundedly, "Is your story of "Once upon a time there was a temple in a mountain" used to fool children?"

"It's not a temple...it's a Taoist temple...I live there. There are also my brothers and sisters, our suzerain. Although it is a Taoist temple...but we are not Taoist priests..." Bai Chenke seemed to mutter to himself talking.

Xia Houxun was stunned, lying on the bed and asked in a low voice: "And then?"

Bai Chenke seemed to be immersed in memories, and his eyes drifted a little bit: "We are all orphans picked up by the suzerain... We study together and learn to read. The suzerain also taught us the magic of immortality, saying that we will be able to walk in the world in the future." He has a good skill. He said that magic is used to protect his important people...you can't do evil with it."

"Your suzerain is so kind." Xia Houxun said enviously.

There was a smile on the corner of Bai Chenke's mouth, but his eyes were as dark as midnight.

"Yeah... Our suzerain is very good. He is the best person in the world. Kind, strong, and knowledgeable. He complains every day that our group of children is too noisy, but he can't stop looking for homeless people everywhere." The orphans brought them back. Before meeting the suzerain, most of us lived a life of broken pots and no light. It was the suzerain who saved us, gave us a home, and made us become each other. My family... I thought that such a good person would... me..." Bai Chenke suddenly took a deep breath, covering his forehead with one hand, unable to make a sound.

Xia Houxun quickly got up from the bed, ran to Bai Chenke's side, and carefully stretched out his hand to press his shoulder.However, Xia Houxun's hand was empty.Bai Chenke's body is slowly becoming more and more transparent, making it difficult to recognize.

"...Bai Chenke! What's wrong with you!" Xia Houxun was terrified, and shouted in a crying voice: "Don't scare me! Don't go...don't go!"

Bai Chenke finally got out of the endless grief. He patted his cheek, raised his head and said with a smile, "Sorry, I scared you? Please take the candlestick away."

"Alright..." Xia Houxun frantically extinguished the candle.The room darkened, and the bright moonlight shone in.Bai Chenke's body also slowly recovered its color.

"Bai Chenke...you didn't disappear suddenly, did you?" Xia Houxun asked with lingering fear.

Bai Chenke shook his head: "No. I am obsessed, and before this, I will never leave."

"That's good." Xia Houxun breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in a low voice, "Then what is your obsession?"

"I..." Bai Chenke laughed again.It's just that his smile looks paler and paler under the moonlight, and his floating body makes it frightening no matter how you look at it.However, coupled with Bai Chenke's handsome face, it seems that all these things have become harmonious again.

"My obsession is...seeing that he will be rewarded with kindness and live a long life."

late at night.Xia Houxun finally couldn't bear the drowsiness and fell asleep. Before going to bed, he still didn't forget to ask: "Bai Chenke, I hope that when I open my eyes tomorrow, the first person I see will be you. Don't take advantage of me. Fall asleep and go."

"No." Bai Chenke said with a smile.

Xia Houxun fell asleep, and the sound of his even breathing was especially clear in the quiet night.Bai Chenke looked at Xia Houxun's cheek silently, and said softly: "It's strange. Why do I think you are so familiar?"

Back then, there seemed to be a person who relied on him in every possible way, and the big brother and the big brother followed his butt and shouted shortly.He clamored to listen to a story before going to bed, and clamored to let him practice sword with him when he woke up.Once during a meal, that guy secretly hid an egg for him... Then the suzerain found out and punished him to fetch water. When the tank was full, the suzerain rewarded him with a lot of candies.As a result, the guy didn't eat any of them, so he took them all and shared them with everyone...Of course, he left an extra one for him.

Bai Chenke thought about it, and almost laughed out loud.He quickly covered his mouth and quietly retreated to a corner of the room.

Bai Chenke was squatting in the corner, feeling bored and thinking about reading a book, when he heard a slight rustling sound coming from the courtyard.

Bai Chenke got up, walked to the window sill, and looked over by the moonlight.In the middle of the empty courtyard, there seemed to be a figure waving slightly to him.

"It doesn't look like a human..." Bai Chenke was startled.Who would stay in the courtyard in the middle of the night?What's more, the figure was vague and uncertain, and there was no shadow yet.The shadow kept waving its hands as if unwilling to give up, and then took a small step forward.

Closing the distance, Bai Chenke vaguely saw its appearance.I saw that this shadow, who didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost, had an excellent face, wearing a thin skirt, and a thin figure, it seemed to be a woman.

Bai Chenke turned his head to look at the sleeping Xia Houxun, hesitant in his heart.He wanted to go out to find out, but he was afraid that something might happen to Xia Houxun in this gap.After thinking about it, Bai Chenke arranged a magic circle around Xia Houxun's bed, covering Xia Houxun inside like a protective shield.

"So...ghosts shouldn't be able to get in..." Bai Chenke looked at Xia Houxun again worriedly, then turned and left the house.

In the courtyard, the female ghost stood neither far nor near, and was speechless relative to Bai Chenke.

"Who are you? What are you for? If you are obsessed, please take care of yourself; if you try to harm others...don't blame my sword for being rude!" Bai Chenke pulled out his sword.

The female ghost silently floated forward again, and stood still facing Bai Chenke's vigilant eyes.After a long time, she suddenly knelt on the ground.

Bai Chenke was stunned.The female ghost stretched her arms forward, leaned over and tapped her forehead on her hands, and solemnly kowtowed to him.

"...What do you mean..." Bai Chenke asked in shock.

The female ghost did not answer, but knelt quietly.Bai Chenke watched her body gradually become transparent, and finally a little light ignited, which slowly dissipated like a firefly.

The female ghost disappeared without leaving even a trace.Bai Chenke didn't understand what the female ghost meant, but there was a trace of sadness in his heart for no reason.

At the same time, Xia Houxun who was sleeping suddenly frowned, tears streaming down his cheeks onto the pillow...

The next day, Xia Houxun woke up and silently looked at Bai Chenke who was leaning on the bed.

"Last night...was someone here?" Xia Houxun asked.

Bai Chenke froze, shook his head and remained silent.

The sunlight came in, passing through Bai Chenke's body and shining on Xia Houxun's eyes.He raised his hand to cover the sun, and said softly: "Last night, my mother seemed to come...but she was far away from me and didn't want to get close. I cried and shouted to let her come back. But she always Standing still, I asked, "Son, mother is gone, are you afraid?" I said I am not afraid, I have grown up, and I still have friends to protect me. Then my mother laughed...a special smile nice..."

Seeing that Xia Houxun seemed to be trembling slightly, Bai Chenke couldn't help but reached out and patted his arm.

Xia Houxun still covered his face to hide the tears gushing out: "Later, my mother said again: "Son, mother wants to take you away, but she is reluctant.Now my mother has no chance, so I can only ask you to stay away from that person. "I asked her who to stay away from? She didn't say anything, she just pointed to the sky."

"And then?" Bai Chenke asked.

Xia Houxun finally took his hands away, his eyes were a little hollow, but he finally regained his composure.

"Then I woke up. You said, what does my mother mean?"
