Do not disturb the evil spirits [Unlimited]
Chapter 72
When Zhao Lin led the team out of the gate of the underground palace, Gu Kai and others who had been guarding outside before surrounded him.
"How's the situation..." Before Gu Kai could finish his sentence, he could clearly see the remaining blood and various wounds on the executioners' bodies, and there was no Shu Yan behind them, all of which was enough to show that the rescue operation failed.
Song Zan shook his head slightly at him: "We tried our best. But this palace is beyond our ability. We may have to report to the organization and ask for reinforcements."
Gu Kai's throat slid twice, and his voice sounded a little dry: "Is there no other way?"
At this point in the matter, it is still unknown whether the Disaster Prevention Bureau will choose to block the city or continue to crusade against the illusion.But the only certainty is that Shu Yan's situation is critical, and it's too late to wait for reinforcements.
"Even if everyone present enters the underground palace, there is no guarantee that the 'Yan Ling' will be successfully rescued. In this case, we should recognize the facts." It was Zhao Lin who spoke this time, "We have already carved The murals and texts of the people have been preserved and need to be sent to the General Administration for analysis... Maybe there is still hope to reverse the situation."
"Turning the situation" in Zhaolin's words naturally refers to reversing the aura pollution in Chongning City, not rescuing Shu Yan.
Gu Kai fell into silence.Seeing his appearance, Qiao Luosang hastily joined forces with Markle to grab Gu Kai's sleeve: "Don't think about it! Captain Zhaolin has already said that they have tried their best. If you rush in now, we may even kill you." Can't get it out!"
Gu Kai looked at Qiao Luosang's anxious look, but in the end he still couldn't break free from her and Markle's hands.
"Okay, let's follow the arrangement of the Prevention and Control Bureau."
"Then let's go quickly, the Young Master's family is already waiting for us outside." Qiao Luosang lowered his voice and said, "Let's apply for rescue immediately, maybe..."
Maybe Shu Yan is not dead yet.
But Qiao Luosang didn't say this, she felt that she was suspected of cheating just by saying it.
Before the conversation on their side ended, they felt their feet tremble for a while, and the underground palace in front of them shook again.
Its vibrations are vital, regular, and energetic, making the awakened people mistakenly believe that there is a giant beast buried in the mound under their feet, and they happen to be standing on the beating heart of the giant beast.
"It's dangerous here, let's retreat." Song Zan gestured, and the executives immediately sorted out the team and supplies, and planned to leave.
The gates of the underground palace began to break and collapse.Looking from a distance, one can vaguely see some of the murals that were originally carved on the wall—they cracked a little bit with the vibration of the wall, then became incomplete, fell off, and finally turned into scattered smoke and dust.
Zhaolin noticed this detail, frowned slightly, and said, "Wait a minute."
Song Zan, Gu Kai and the others stopped their movements, turned their heads and glanced at him, then followed his gaze, and once again set their sights on the gate of the underground palace——
"Cough...cough cough!"
They seem to have heard someone coughing hoarsely.
Song Zan raised his eyebrows, but Gu Kai's team of three were the first to react.They hurried to the gate of the underground palace, and pulled out a man who was covered in dust from top to bottom, and even his lips were purple.
"Banquet?!" Song Zan almost jumped up in surprise.
Although the meeting with Shu Yan last time caused some unpleasantness, Song Zan was still very surprised at his survival because of the fact that Shu Yan and he both came from the Lingyang branch.
In this way, the third formation of Lingyang Branch can still be saved.
Shu Yan was quickly moved to an open space away from the underground palace, Gu Kai fed him water, and Qiao Luosang pulled down his cloak and shook off the dirt on his body.
Shu Yan's throat hurt as if it had been scraped by a knife blade, and his speech was hoarse like a balloon leaking air, but this couldn't conceal the surprise in his tone: "You...why are you here?"
Qiao Luosang said: "What else could it be? You came to save people! Hey, how did you escape from the underground palace?"
"It's very simple." Shu Yan coughed out a mouthful of bloodshot saliva and laughed twice, "Keep saying 'I want to get out' to the wall—they will naturally get out of the way."
Does Qiao Luosang believe it? Of course she doesn't.
But looking at Shu Yan's weakness as if he was about to faint in the next second, it really looks like the sequelae caused by excessive use of abilities.
"You better shut up." Qiao Luosang threw the dirty cloak on Shu Yan, "We'll see if we come to catch you next time!"
Shu Yan smiled at Yan Yan, because he was lying on the ground, relaxed all over, but still had the strength to say a few nice words, which calmed down Qiao Luosang.
Song Zan watched with cold eyes, feeling that this kind of Shu Yan was simply a stranger to him—he was not so easy to talk to when he was in the prevention and control bureau. There is no such cheerful and casual approaching gesture on the Internet.
Song Zan recalled it instantly: "Hey, so your rescue team is still carrying private goods? Is it for him?...Forget it, I was joking. It is already very good for you to participate in the rescue. Thank you. Alright, I'll apply for subsidies from the bureau when I go back."
They asked Shu Yan what happened in the underground palace.
But he laughed, and took out a walnut-like ball from his pocket with muddy hands.
"An evil god planted a 'seed' on me." Shu Yan said, "He also buried me in the soil, hoping that this seed would grow vigorously and then occupy my entire body."
Zhaolin and the others showed vigilant and horrified expressions when they heard the words.
"Seed of evil god?" Qiao Luosang gasped, looking at the peaceful "walnut" in Shu Yan's palm, suddenly felt a little unbelievable, "What kind of god?"
"Lord of the dense forest, Satu." Just chanting the name made the "walnut" in his palm emit a faint green light, "This is a part of His power, and it is called the 'God Core'. I spend It took a lot of effort to separate it from my body..."
Didn't it take a lot of effort?
Thinking of the evil god who tricked him into letting down his vigilance and almost killed him, Shu Yan gritted his molars angrily.
Looking at the seed, Zhaolin was silent for a moment: "Do we still have the Lingling Box?"
"Yes." Song Zan nodded, and asked someone to deliver a silver-black metal box.The switch of the box is a piece of obsidian the size of a thumb.After pressing it down, the metal box unfolded layer by layer like a flower, and the space that can be accommodated inside is unclear whether it is big or small. "According to the usual practice, we brought two out. I will take one to put the rubbings from the underground palace just now." The murals have come out, and there is only one left.”
"What is the Lingering Box?" Markle quietly asked Qiao Luosang.
"Ask Gu Kai, this is something developed by their family." Qiao Luosang said.
Gu Kai only glanced at it and explained: "Stagnation, as the name suggests, is to put these items with aura into a space isolated from the outside world, so as to avoid the loss of aura and reduce its damage rate. In theory, it can also isolate items from the outside world. The influence of the spiritual energy on human beings. Therefore, it is suitable for storing some dangerous props or extremely precious materials."
Of course, Shu Yan also knew what the stagnant spirit box was, so before Gu Kai finished speaking, he threw the divine core in his hand into the stagnant spirit box.
"How are the people in our third formation?" Shu Yan asked slightly panting.
"Don't worry, they are still alive." Song Zan closed the stagnant spirit box, handed it to the executive beside him, and then said to Shu Yan with some emotion, "In contrast, the Chongning local formation that disappeared at the same time as you It was much worse and there were no survivors."
Shu Yan fell into silence.
"Don't be so discouraged, we did a good job in this mission. People were rescued, and you are safe and sound... We will receive praise when we go back," Song Zan comforted.
"..." Shu Yan's eyes moved, he clenched his fingers, and said dryly, "I'm sorry."
Song Zan: "?"
Shu Yan: "I apologize for what happened last time. Before... I was too arrogant and clashed with you." He lowered his head, half of his face was covered in shadow, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly , but from the tone of his voice, he didn’t feel forced at all, and he probably said the truth, “At that time, my brother had just passed away, and I didn’t like anyone. They always compared me with another S-class, and called me ‘Zhao Lin No. Two', they also said that it would be better to dismantle the third formation and directly integrate the available players into your team... so I lost my temper. But I shouldn't spread the fire on you."
Song Zan: "..."
Shu Yan, who was originally rebellious, not only changed his temper after this catastrophe, but also behaved like a quail.For a moment, Song Zan didn't know what expression to make.
He quietly glanced at Zhao Lin's face, seeing that Zhao Lin's expression was normal, and he didn't intend to settle old scores with Shu Yan, so he said, "Forget it, it's all over."
Not to mention the original unforgiveness... They actually didn't take that matter to heart all the time.
Just like this time, people should be saved if they should be saved, and they won't get into trouble with their colleagues because of this kind of thing.
But they can't do it if they want them to cherish Shu Yan as a close descendant.
So be it.
*
After Shu Yan left, the underground palace gradually collapsed.Most of the huge trees and dark green vines that had dominated the entire city withered in an instant, turning into dust all over the sky.For a moment, half of Chongning City was covered with a layer of dark brown dust, and when the wind blew, his face was covered with dust.
"Those who didn't know thought it was a sandstorm." Song Zan complained.
The scooters of the executives were all scrapped on the way here, but the car that Gu Kai drove was still well hidden in a certain chaotic street.
Since Shu Yan's physical condition was still not very stable, Song Zan asked Gu Kai and the others to take Shu Yan away first, so that they could hurry to the medical center set up outside the illusion.
"Let's take the stagnant spirit box and walk slowly, and clean up the remaining monsters along the way." Song Zan loaded his gun and said, "Your team's combat effectiveness is good, so be careful."
Gu Kai nodded, and walked towards the direction where they hid the car with Shu Yan.
Qiao Luosang fell behind a few steps, thought for a while, ran up to Song Zan and asked him, "How long will Chongning be blocked?"
"It's not certain, but it won't be too long—the illusion is cleared, so what's the point of continuing to block it?" Song Zan was amused, thinking that Qiao Luosang still cared about Chongning City, "Don't worry, As long as the aura pollution index here goes down, someone will come to arrange the post-disaster reconstruction.”
Qiao Luosang nodded.
She didn't wear a cloak, and her thick black curly hair wrapped her snow-white face, making her look even more petite and cute.
Although Song Zan knew that she was an adult, he couldn't help talking to her with a gentle attitude towards girls: "Why are you asking this?"
"I'm asking on behalf of the Young Master's family. If the blockade period is too long, then we might as well abandon Chongning's storage room and let people move all the things out." Qiao Luosang said casually, and then left without looking back.
Song Zan: "..."
Fortunately, he thought this girl was worried about the future of Chongning City, and she was just worried about whether the treasures in the storage would accumulate dust!
Then he thought that the young master of Si Ling Pavilion was actually Zhao Lin's ex-boyfriend—the point was that the word "before" was full of resentment and entanglement.If we add the "peeping incident" between Bai Yi and Zhang Tianyue of the third formation before, then the relationship between the Lingyang branch and Young Master Si can be called "the old hatred and the new hatred." ... This is to offend people to death!
"Boss!" Song Zan threw himself in front of Zhao Lin, grabbed the latter's collar with both hands as if begging, and said, "This is not going to work! It's fine if we don't get Si Ling Ge's favor, but we can't become Si Ling Ge The thorn in my side! How about you work harder and get Young Master Si back?"
But Zhaolin took off his hand little by little without a word, and said, "How do you know I'm not working hard?"
Song Zan: "...ah? Where are you trying so hard? I saw you flirting with that lunatic doctor before! Bah, bah, bah, you can't mention that." Song Zan patted his face lightly A slap, "I was wrong, I clearly said that this matter should be kept secret, absolutely, absolutely must not reach the ears of Young Master Si..."
Looking at Song Zan who was still thinking about it, Zhao Lin turned his face away with some disgust, and took a deep breath.
*
On the other side, Gu Kai and the others supported Shu Yan to the parking place, but they saw someone sitting in the driver's seat from a distance.
He was wearing sunglasses, and his long dark hair was tied up high. He was holding the steering wheel boredly at the moment, and when he saw Gu leaving them, he honked the horn twice.
"Young master!" Qiao Luosang's eyes lit up, and he rushed over happily like a bee seeing a flower.
Shu Yan, who was supported by Gu Kai and Markle, froze for a moment, and soon realized what the word "Shaodongjia" meant.Panting slightly, he anxiously asked Gu Kai beside him: "The one sitting in the car is Si Qingxuan?"
"Yes." Gu Kai nodded, "We came together."
Shu Yan was momentarily dazed after hearing this answer, but soon, the hairs all over his body exploded.He quickly took two steps forward, but almost fell because of the loss of strength under his feet.
"Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden?" Markle helped Shu Yan up with all his strength, "Want to see the young master? Isn't he right there? Is he afraid of running away?"
That's what they said, but they still followed Shu Yan's intentions, hurried for a while, and then helped Shu Yan to the passenger seat.
"Come on." Si Qingxuan said, "I originally wanted to take you to have a good meal and have a good rest, but now it seems that we have to rush to the medical station first." On Yan, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
"Hi, Xiaoyanling. I'm Si Qingxuan."
The title "Xiaoyanling" made Shu Yan freeze in place, and his hairs blew up for a while.
"Don't call me that!" Shu Yan protested in a low voice.
But no one answered his words.The car started quickly, Si Qingxuan turned the steering wheel around, Qiao Luosang leaned over from the back seat and asked, "Young master, where have you been before, we didn't see you."
"Of course I'm going to find a way." Si Qingxuan replied indifferently, "Didn't I say that I wanted to destroy that sacrificial ceremony? It succeeded in the end."
"So you found the person who approved the white coat?" Qiao Luosang sighed, "He doesn't look like a good person. No, maybe he isn't a person at all?"
Si Qingxuan was silent for a few seconds, and said, "My trick is called fighting poison with poison."
"Hmm, don't care if the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat." Qiao Luosang agreed wittily, and didn't ask how Si Qingxuan got that monster doctor here, she just Changed the topic, and repeated the information I learned from Song Zan just now, that is, the message "Chongning does not know how long it will be blocked"
Si Qingxuan: "To be on the safe side, I'd better arrange for someone to completely transfer the storage in Chongning City."
Qiao Luosang nodded and returned to the back seat of the car contentedly.
Then, the car was quiet for a few minutes.
However, during these few minutes, a strong gaze fell on Si Qingxuan——
Si Qingxuan raised his eyes, but saw Shu Yan who was sitting next to him looking straight at him with a full face of wariness.
"What, have something to say to me?"
Shu Yan turned her head, looked straight ahead, and asked calmly, "I have something to ask you."
Shu Yan's lips opened and closed.As he spoke, everything around him seemed to be caught in a subtle vibration frequency.
"Tell me the truth. Did you kill the Ghost Rider?"
Gu Kai and the others sitting in the back seat changed their expressions slightly.
They could sense that Shu Yan had used his talent for speech.
Before they could react to this change, Si Qingxuan had already given his own answer.He said calmly and comfortably:
"Yes."
It doesn't seem to be affected by the words at all.
Or maybe the word spirit has already taken effect?
Shu Yan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, suppressed the itchiness in her throat, and continued: "Tell me what happened."
"At the beginning, the ghost master followed me and secretly used your brother's photo to make friends online. I added him, but when I met him, I found out that he was a scammer." Si Qingxuan said lightly, "Not only that, he has already He lost his mind, killed many people, and wanted to harm me, so I took care of him out of self-preservation."
After Si Qingxuan finished speaking, the car fell into a long silence.
Shu Yan was a little unbelievable: "...that's it?"
Si Qingxuan: "That's it. How complicated do you expect it to be?"
Shu Yan: "That bastard actually used my brother's photo——no, what kind of online fraud is he? Is he cheating money?"
Si Qingxuan looked at Shu Yan with pity: "It's mainly to deceive feelings."
Shu Yan's hair was about to stand on end: "I'm going to kill him—"
"He's already dead." Si Qingxuan reminded him kindly, "There's not even ashes left on the body."
"I—" Shu Yan choked hard and almost couldn't catch his breath. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something was wrong again, and looked at Si Qingxuan in surprise, "He lied to me with my brother's photo on the Internet. , how could it be tricked into your head?"
Si Qingxuan turned his speechless face that was as beautiful as a rising mountain and the moon, and let out the cold words one by one: "Because I like men. Do you have any objections?"
Shu Yan: "..."
Shu Yan: "No, no."
During the next ten minutes' drive, Shu Yan shut himself off, and even Qiao Luosang, who loved talking to Si Qingxuan the most, shut down.
[They are afraid to speak anymore, for fear of offending you. 】The system is amazed, 【You are really hardworking, dare to make up any nonsense. 】
"Otherwise, how can I explain the chat record to them?" Si Qingxuan said in his heart, "That's it, shut up and don't make any more comments."
【Yes, High Priest~】
The system left a rippling response, and then fell silent.
The off-road vehicle drove out of the blocked area, and a group of people surrounded it in an instant.Gu Kai took Shu Yan, who was still doubtful about his life, to the medical center, while Si Qingxuan got out of the car, and together with Qiao Luosang and Markel, received the blanket and box lunch provided by the Prevention and Control Bureau, and went to rest in a quiet tent.
Qiao Luosang, who had soiled his cloak before, put the blanket on his head, then showed a face as big as a palm, ran up to Si Qingxuan, and asked, "Young Master, are we going to say goodbye next?"
Si Qingxuan opened a can of hot soup, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Can't bear me?"
Qiao Luosang nodded: "A little bit."
As she said that, her eyes moved to the light above her head, and then landed on Si Qingxuan, and she said awkwardly: "Don't think I'm long-winded, to be honest, you should find some people to protect you in the future, Si Linge's The identity of the Young Master is too hot."
"Like this time, you shouldn't form a team with us. The three of us know each other, and you are the only one who just joined. This kind of team is the most prone to problems in theory, and it is not good for you. Change... You might be in danger if you change to someone who covets the Spirit Pavilion."
Si Qingxuan was taken aback, he didn't expect that he would be lectured by Qiao Luosang, and he didn't seem to expect that Qiao Luosang would say such things.
"...I hope to meet you again during the journey." Qiao Luosang wrapped her face in the blanket, her voice was as soft as a butterfly flapping its wings, "I just don't want to lose any of my friends."
Si Qingxuan: "..."
Si Qingxuan: "Okay, I see."
"How's the situation..." Before Gu Kai could finish his sentence, he could clearly see the remaining blood and various wounds on the executioners' bodies, and there was no Shu Yan behind them, all of which was enough to show that the rescue operation failed.
Song Zan shook his head slightly at him: "We tried our best. But this palace is beyond our ability. We may have to report to the organization and ask for reinforcements."
Gu Kai's throat slid twice, and his voice sounded a little dry: "Is there no other way?"

Gu Kai fell into silence.Seeing his appearance, Qiao Luosang hastily joined forces with Markle to grab Gu Kai's sleeve: "Don't think about it! Captain Zhaolin has already said that they have tried their best. If you rush in now, we may even kill you." Can't get it out!"
Gu Kai looked at Qiao Luosang's anxious look, but in the end he still couldn't break free from her and Markle's hands.
"Okay, let's follow the arrangement of the Prevention and Control Bureau."
"Then let's go quickly, the Young Master's family is already waiting for us outside." Qiao Luosang lowered his voice and said, "Let's apply for rescue immediately, maybe..."
Maybe Shu Yan is not dead yet.
But Qiao Luosang didn't say this, she felt that she was suspected of cheating just by saying it.
Before the conversation on their side ended, they felt their feet tremble for a while, and the underground palace in front of them shook again.
Its vibrations are vital, regular, and energetic, making the awakened people mistakenly believe that there is a giant beast buried in the mound under their feet, and they happen to be standing on the beating heart of the giant beast.

"Boss!" Song Zan threw himself in front of Zhao Lin, grabbed the latter's collar with both hands as if begging, and said, "This is not going to work! It's fine if we don't get Si Ling Ge's favor, but we can't become Si Ling Ge The thorn in my side! How about you work harder and get Young Master Si back?"
But Zhaolin took off his hand little by little without a word, and said, "How do you know I'm not working hard?"
Song Zan: "...ah? Where are you trying so hard? I saw you flirting with that lunatic doctor before! Bah, bah, bah, you can't mention that." Song Zan patted his face lightly A slap, "I was wrong, I clearly said that this matter should be kept secret, absolutely, absolutely must not reach the ears of Young Master Si..."
Looking at Song Zan who was still thinking about it, Zhao Lin turned his face away with some disgust, and took a deep breath.

On the other side, Gu Kai and the others supported Shu Yan to the parking place, but they saw someone sitting in the driver's seat from a distance.
He was wearing sunglasses, and his long dark hair was tied up high. He was holding the steering wheel boredly at the moment, and when he saw Gu leaving them, he honked the horn twice.
"Young master!" Qiao Luosang's eyes lit up, and he rushed over happily like a bee seeing a flower.
Shu Yan, who was supported by Gu Kai and Markle, froze for a moment, and soon realized what the word "Shaodongjia" meant.Panting slightly, he anxiously asked Gu Kai beside him: "The one sitting in the car is Si Qingxuan?"
"Yes." Gu Kai nodded, "We came together."
Shu Yan was momentarily dazed after hearing this answer, but soon, the hairs all over his body exploded.He quickly took two steps forward, but almost fell because of the loss of strength under his feet.
"Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden?" Markle helped Shu Yan up with all his strength, "Want to see the young master? Isn't he right there? Is he afraid of running away?"
That's what they said, but they still followed Shu Yan's intentions, hurried for a while, and then helped Shu Yan to the passenger seat.
"Come on." Si Qingxuan said, "I originally wanted to take you to have a good meal and have a good rest, but now it seems that we have to rush to the medical station first." On Yan, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
"Hi, Xiaoyanling. I'm Si Qingxuan."
The title "Xiaoyanling" made Shu Yan freeze in place, and his hairs blew up for a while.
"Don't call me that!" Shu Yan protested in a low voice.
But no one answered his words.The car started quickly, Si Qingxuan turned the steering wheel around, Qiao Luosang leaned over from the back seat and asked, "Young master, where have you been before, we didn't see you."
"Of course I'm going to find a way." Si Qingxuan replied indifferently, "Didn't I say that I wanted to destroy that sacrificial ceremony? It succeeded in the end."
"So you found the person who approved the white coat?" Qiao Luosang sighed, "He doesn't look like a good person. No, maybe he isn't a person at all?"
Si Qingxuan was silent for a few seconds, and said, "My trick is called fighting poison with poison."
"Hmm, don't care if the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat." Qiao Luosang agreed wittily, and didn't ask how Si Qingxuan got that monster doctor here, she just Changed the topic, and repeated the information I learned from Song Zan just now, that is, the message "Chongning does not know how long it will be blocked"
Si Qingxuan: "To be on the safe side, I'd better arrange for someone to completely transfer the storage in Chongning City."
Qiao Luosang nodded and returned to the back seat of the car contentedly.
Then, the car was quiet for a few minutes.
However, during these few minutes, a strong gaze fell on Si Qingxuan——
Si Qingxuan raised his eyes, but saw Shu Yan who was sitting next to him looking straight at him with a full face of wariness.
"What, have something to say to me?"
Shu Yan turned her head, looked straight ahead, and asked calmly, "I have something to ask you."
Shu Yan's lips opened and closed.As he spoke, everything around him seemed to be caught in a subtle vibration frequency.
"Tell me the truth. Did you kill the Ghost Rider?"
Gu Kai and the others sitting in the back seat changed their expressions slightly.
They could sense that Shu Yan had used his talent for speech.
Before they could react to this change, Si Qingxuan had already given his own answer.He said calmly and comfortably:
"Yes."
It doesn't seem to be affected by the words at all.
Or maybe the word spirit has already taken effect?
Shu Yan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, suppressed the itchiness in her throat, and continued: "Tell me what happened."
"At the beginning, the ghost master followed me and secretly used your brother's photo to make friends online. I added him, but when I met him, I found out that he was a scammer." Si Qingxuan said lightly, "Not only that, he has already He lost his mind, killed many people, and wanted to harm me, so I took care of him out of self-preservation."
After Si Qingxuan finished speaking, the car fell into a long silence.
Shu Yan was a little unbelievable: "...that's it?"
Si Qingxuan: "That's it. How complicated do you expect it to be?"
Shu Yan: "That bastard actually used my brother's photo——no, what kind of online fraud is he? Is he cheating money?"
Si Qingxuan looked at Shu Yan with pity: "It's mainly to deceive feelings."
Shu Yan's hair was about to stand on end: "I'm going to kill him—"
"He's already dead." Si Qingxuan reminded him kindly, "There's not even ashes left on the body."
"I—" Shu Yan choked hard and almost couldn't catch his breath. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something was wrong again, and looked at Si Qingxuan in surprise, "He lied to me with my brother's photo on the Internet. , how could it be tricked into your head?"
Si Qingxuan turned his speechless face that was as beautiful as a rising mountain and the moon, and let out the cold words one by one: "Because I like men. Do you have any objections?"
Shu Yan: "..."
Shu Yan: "No, no."
During the next ten minutes' drive, Shu Yan shut himself off, and even Qiao Luosang, who loved talking to Si Qingxuan the most, shut down.
[They are afraid to speak anymore, for fear of offending you. 】The system is amazed, 【You are really hardworking, dare to make up any nonsense. 】
"Otherwise, how can I explain the chat record to them?" Si Qingxuan said in his heart, "That's it, shut up and don't make any more comments."
【Yes, High Priest~】
The system left a rippling response, and then fell silent.
The off-road vehicle drove out of the blocked area, and a group of people surrounded it in an instant.Gu Kai took Shu Yan, who was still doubtful about his life, to the medical center, while Si Qingxuan got out of the car, and together with Qiao Luosang and Markel, received the blanket and box lunch provided by the Prevention and Control Bureau, and went to rest in a quiet tent.
Qiao Luosang, who had soiled his cloak before, put the blanket on his head, then showed a face as big as a palm, ran up to Si Qingxuan, and asked, "Young Master, are we going to say goodbye next?"
Si Qingxuan opened a can of hot soup, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Can't bear me?"
Qiao Luosang nodded: "A little bit."
As she said that, her eyes moved to the light above her head, and then landed on Si Qingxuan, and she said awkwardly: "Don't think I'm long-winded, to be honest, you should find some people to protect you in the future, Si Linge's The identity of the Young Master is too hot."
"Like this time, you shouldn't form a team with us. The three of us know each other, and you are the only one who just joined. This kind of team is the most prone to problems in theory, and it is not good for you. Change... You might be in danger if you change to someone who covets the Spirit Pavilion."
Si Qingxuan was taken aback, he didn't expect that he would be lectured by Qiao Luosang, and he didn't seem to expect that Qiao Luosang would say such things.
"...I hope to meet you again during the journey." Qiao Luosang wrapped her face in the blanket, her voice was as soft as a butterfly flapping its wings, "I just don't want to lose any of my friends."
Si Qingxuan: "..."
Si Qingxuan: "Okay, I see."
