【Demon Subduing Master and Demon】

After Ji Qingci finished speaking, the three present fell into silence at the same time. For a while, only the sound of rain that became more and more dense was left on the roof of the office building, and the sound of the joints of the undead walking corpse twisting.

The winter rain that fell from the sky drenched his coat, and Li Huan could only suppress the physiological reaction of wanting to tremble by clenching the Tang Dao tightly. Assuming that all of them are victims, there is someone else who caused the accident by default.

This is actually a bit one-sided, even very naive.

Perhaps the senior sister said this just to take into account the feelings of fellow students, and she was afraid that she would have another idea in her heart.

It's not that Li Huan doesn't have the same idea, but if he really doubts someone around him and asks himself, he will indeed be involved in his personal feelings.

In the end, he took a deep breath, looked up at Ji Qingci under the black umbrella, and said softly, "Don't tell the teacher what happened tonight."

"I also have this idea, but I feel a little wrong in my heart. This walking corpse is small, but the intention of the other party's move is really not to be underestimated. Besides, it is related to the issue that the teacher is most concerned about right now. It is only a temporary way to hide it from him. We have to find out something as soon as possible to be true." Ji Qingci's voice was terribly calm, and it sounded faintly cruel and harsh, she stepped forward two steps and reached out to pat Li Huan's shoulder, as if to comfort him. Grab it, "Behave more naturally when you go back, especially in front of your elder brother."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Xing Yi meaningfully, and said lightly: "My junior brother is still young, so please remind Mr. Xing a little bit more."

Xing Yi looked at her expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry."

Ji Qingci said "Yes", then looked at Li Huan again, and said, "You guys go first, the teacher will worry if you go back too late, I will deal with it here."

Li Huan nodded, and said: "Senior Sister, be careful."

After finishing speaking, he returned to Xing Yi, who opened his umbrella to wrap his arms around his shoulders, and the two left the top floor of the office building along the wobbly stairs.

After they left, the last trace of smile in Ji Qingci's eyes disappeared, and the raven perched on her shoulder tilted her head as if feeling something, and turned her dark eyes maliciously: "Second Miss, what do you want?" orders?"

"Go to Eldest Brother and see what he's up to." Ji Qingci said, "Be careful, there are many monsters over there, don't let anyone find out."

Raven's thoughts flashed, and he instantly understood what the master meant, and tentatively asked, "You doubt the young master?"

Hearing this, the woman's bright red lips were slowly pursed, and she slightly bent into a sneer of unknown meaning. Ji Qingci did not speak in a hurry, but took out the karmic fire talisman paper from her bag, and ignited a cluster of dark green talismans with demon power. Flame, "This walking corpse looks like me. Even if Brother Huan has no idea, the demon subduing master must suspect that I have staged a trick—" After the words fell, the talisman fell from his hand, and the moment he touched the walking corpse Burns up quickly.

The strange blue color karmic fire was burning fiercely, making the woman's beautiful face even paler.

"I also understand the reason for the deep love of the same family, but before talking about love, I still have to find out whether this matter is related to the elder brother." Ji Qingci said.

The raven flapped its wings and bowed slightly to her: "This subordinate understands."

At the same time, across the road.

The Land Rover was unlocked, and Li Huan and Xingyi got into the car respectively. As the car door was closed with a "bang", the sound of the rain was blocked out, and the interior of the car was so quiet that only each other's breathing remained.

"I don't trust your senior sister. It's really a coincidence that she came here." Xing Yi said straight to the point, and leaned over to fasten Li Huan's seat belt as usual.

Li Huan sent Qi Jingyu a WeChat message on his mobile phone, to the effect that "they are preparing to go back, everything is normal, don't worry".After sending, he put the phone back into his pocket without waiting for the other party's reply, and then raised his head to meet Xing Yi's eyes. The moment his eyes met, Xing Yi was stabbed by the coldness and clarity in those eyes.

"I'm not that naive. This matter must have been done by someone who is familiar with us." Li Huan said, "He can clearly grasp the dynamics of you and me, understand the teacher's arrangements, and even disguise a lifelike corpse as the sister's. Appearance, if you don’t know it too well, how can you do this?”

Xing Yi was silent for a while, and said, "Who do you suspect?"

Li Huan shook his head, sighed and said, "Everyone is suspicious except you, even the teacher."

After he finished speaking, Xing Yi couldn't help being slightly taken aback, he only thought of sowing discord, if it was Qi Jingyu, it would be——

"You mean, the walking corpse might be Kyuubi deliberately testing people around him?"

Li Huan gave a very cautious "hmm" and said, "I just suggested that my senior sister hide it from the teacher. On the one hand, I wanted to test the senior sister's reaction, and on the other hand, I wanted to observe the teacher's attitude after returning home. This is a test. Fortunately, if it wasn't for that, it would indeed confirm the teacher's conjecture, there is a guy with schemes around us, and he has already started to take action."

who can that be?

He asked himself in his heart.

Seeing him looking out the window thoughtfully, Xing Yi didn't speak any more. After turning up the air conditioner, he drove the Land Rover back out of the parking space and drove back to Shichahai the same way.

There was nothing to say all the way, the night view of Beijing city was radiant, and it was Valentine's Day, vendors selling flowers and hydrogen balloons could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, Li Huan was so annoyed that he wiped the glass on the passenger side with his palm, absently Look at the human fireworks outside the car window.

"Fortunately, I am not a complete mortal. Fortunately, the phoenix soul 3000 years ago chose my ancestors as containers."

Xing Yi concentrated on driving, and casually said: "If you were a mortal, you wouldn't go through what's going on now. What's wrong with being able to spend a quiet holiday without being disturbed like those people outside?"

"Of course not. If I'm not your prey, I'll never have the chance to meet you. Then what's the meaning of this festival to me?" Li Huan said as he unbuttoned his seat belt, leaned over and lightly kissed Xing Yi's face. Lightly pressed a kiss and said with a smile, "I will cherish you, the guy who gives special meaning to today~"

As if the softest part of his heart was touched by a slight tremor in those words, Xing Yi slightly tilted his head and looked at him. There was no light in the car, but he could clearly see the other party's dark eyes and the depths of the pupils. A smear of demon light slowly flowing.As if carrying some kind of soul-stirring and bewitching power, he felt that the beating of the organ in his chest suddenly missed a beat - he thought it was a fickle monster, but he didn't expect to be so affectionate after touching it.

This makes people have the heart to let him down.

Mr. Jiang Yaoshi smiled in his heart, turned the steering wheel in his hand, and drove into a dark alley without even a street light.

The young master, who was thinking about how to make a serious confession, only realized that something was wrong after he braked. Looking at the obviously unfamiliar environment outside the car window, Li Huan froze for a few seconds, then gave Xing Yi a questioning look: "Don't you want to go home, what are you doing here?"

Land Rover parked and turned off, Xing Yi didn't speak, pulled out the key and threw it into the storage compartment, then put down the co-pilot seat directly, straddling Li Huan's side with his long legs, trapping him tightly between his body and the seat A narrow gap—like a predator aloft, staring down at the prey below.

If Li Huan can't see the other party's intentions now, then it's really a ghost!

It's just that, as a person who grew up drinking tea, playing chess, and cultivating himself by thousand-year-old monsters, a certain person still has a little bit of conservative in his bones.

"Does it have to be here?" Li Huan's face was capitalized with "three views shattered", and he glanced out the car window with complicated emotions, "Let me tell you, most of the people who live in this kind of old house are aged It’s not too small, and the heart and lung function can’t keep up, so it’s not suitable for watching too intense scenes...”

Xing Yi took off his windbreaker and threw it aside casually, reached out and patted his head, and said in a somewhat dumbfounding tone, "Can't you think something normal in your head?"

Li Huan: "..."

Li Huanxin said that you really want to play car vibrations in front of other people's house!How do I think normal? !This is obviously something that 100% will be bumped into, okay? !

Although he was curiously looking forward to it...

But! ! !

...I can't think about it for the grandpa and aunt. At night, there is a car with black lights shaking at the door. No matter how you think about it, it must be a ghost, okay? !

Perhaps someone's inner os voice was too loud, Xing Yi thought for a while, and compromised: "Just once, don't move around, don't make a sound, and it's best not to deliberately tease me, let's go back and continue after finishing."

"Hey!" Li Huan's mouth twitched, and he said angrily in a low voice, "It sounds like you want me to pretend I'm a blow-up doll?!"

Xing Yi: "..."

That being said... there seems to be nothing wrong...

"Forget it then," Xing Yi changed his tune, "You can use it yourself."

Li Huan: "..."

So, on the night of Valentine's Day, in a dark alley in the Shichahai area, under the impression of an unknown movement, the sturdy body of the Land Rover shook all night.

At dawn, Li Huan, who had naively fantasized that he could go to the teacher to report the situation last night before going to bed, was lying on the passenger seat. An ambiguous trace of inexplicable excitement.

Maybe I can go say good morning, the young master thought in a daze, if he wasn't knocked out by the fuck.

At this time, the cell phone left in the coat had already been turned off automatically by Mr. Kyuubi who had waited all night and hadn't seen the little apprentice enter the door.

……

When Li Huan woke up, a ray of sunlight from the gap in the curtain dazzled his eyes.

After the rain, the weather outside seems to be particularly good, the sun is shining brightly.He turned over to save himself from being shaken, his body has been washed, and there is no sticky discomfort between his buttocks, and the body's tolerance is obviously better when he does it the second time, except for a little weakness after ejaculation, there is almost nothing behind Symptoms of redness and swelling.

Sleeping until now, he has completely lost the concept of time. Li Huan reached out and groped for the mobile phone. As soon as he reached out, he felt that the tentacle was a hairy thing. He opened one eye exhaustedly, and saw Ari standing on Next to him, two front paws were resting on the edge of the bed, looking at him with contempt.

"Morning," Li Huan turned to press his forehead and rubbed it. When he regained consciousness, he propped himself up and leaned against the head of the bed, "Where's Brother Yi?"

Ari licked his nose, pointed his nostrils at him very coldly, and said, "Playing chess with the master."

"When?"

"It's been five or six hours since you came back, right?" Ari jumped into bed and lay down next to Li Huan like a hill, and said, "I kindly remind you that the teacher waited for you all night without even closing your eyes. However, I am very angry now, so I dragged the demon subduing master who indulged you to stay out at night to drink tea and play chess, remember to be careful when you go out later."

Li Huan couldn't help laughing when he saw its Samoyed appearance, and rushed over to roll around on the bed with his arms around this furry and fleshy fox.

"Don't touch me!!!" Ari propped his paws on his chest with a look of disgust, and said solemnly, "You are no longer my little master!!!"

"Has Mr. Yan left?" Li Huan said.

Ari didn't know, so he asked, "Who?"

"That puppet cat," Li Huan said, "is a Mara, the man we met at Wanqing's pawn shop. His body can't move around at will, so he has to possess all kinds of animals. In fact, you used to fight for favor. The target is him~"

Ari let out an "oh", gritted his teeth and said, "It, it's playing chess with the master and the others."

Li Huan: "They didn't go out last night?"

Ari shook his head, and suddenly looked at him suspiciously: "Why are you asking this?"

Li Huan said: "Something happened, I haven't told the teacher yet, but I'm afraid he might be on guard against me and won't tell the truth."

Afterwards, he recounted the incident of someone attacking Xing Yi with a walking corpse pretending to be Ji Qingci the night before, and told Ari his suspicions about the teacher tempting these recent disciples who had left.

Ari's face changed when he heard this, and he said seriously: "You guys actually want to hide this from the master? Scumbags! Both you and the second lady!"

"Don't worry, I was also trying to test my senior sister." Li Huanshun comforted the fur behind Hu Ling, "You mean, it's not the teacher who is testing us?"

"Impossible." Ari didn't finish his sentence, but his attitude was determined, "Teacher has been living in seclusion for so long, and she seldom does things by herself. Any tasks are left to the subordinates to do, and don't you Seeing that he is usually cold and indifferent, he actually cares about you apprentices very much in his heart, when the third young master suffered misfortune, the teacher was really sad for a long time."

"Even if he really has doubts, he will definitely not use this method of affecting each other's feelings to test you."

Li Huan nodded thoughtfully, remained silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Ah Li, you know that I am a late apprentice, and I am far behind the senior brothers and sisters in age. I have only heard about the third senior brother, but the teacher doesn't care. It's not convenient to mention me, but now you answer me honestly, how...how did he die?"

As soon as he asked this, Li Huan noticed the expression on Ari's face froze, and even looked at himself a little unnaturally.

"What's the matter?" Faced with such a reaction, he somehow felt a little guilty, and couldn't help lowering his voice a lot.

Ari was silent for a long time, and then said in a rare and flat tone: "Actually, it's quite normal. For thousands of years, the relationship between demon subduing masters and demons has always been the one who wins. Both sides have their own casualties, but we are demons after all." , at this point, it is impossible to exchange positions and think about the problem—”

"Young master, you understand the principles of loving the house and the Wu hate the house and the Wu. Now you should understand why the teacher doesn't like you choosing a demon-subduing master, right?"

Li Huan was silent for a moment.

"You know, other than you, the teacher's students are not ordinary little demons. Their level of auspicious or ferocious beasts cannot be easily wasted. The third young master... He was probably also killed by a high-ranking member of the association. Human beings are made into puppets, and in that form, they have to do things that they have to do to harm their own kind.”
