Just when Qingming was about to wait patiently for a few more days to grasp some more specific information about the monster before making a move, Minister Zuo sent someone to the gate of Qingming's mansion in the early morning of the second day, rushing to say that Qingming would Go to that grown-up's house.

Qingming didn't hesitate, and immediately agreed and set off for Minister Zuo's home.And Xuehui is now Seimei's disciple, so she should keep up with this situation.

Ootengu, who had been by her side all the time, stayed in Qingming's mansion because it was inconvenient to appear in the crowd, but he seemed very worried about Yukie's personal safety.

His expression is still very cold, but if you look closely, there seems to be a slight worry in the blue eyes.

Xiaobai, who thought that because of the appearance of Ootengu, his time alone with Yukie had been greatly reduced, snorted dissatisfiedly: "Xiaobai will protect Master Yukie! Nothing will happen."

Xue Hui was speechless for a while, looking at the inexplicably intense atmosphere between a monster and a beast, it was a little funny, and said helplessly: "Just go and see what happened with Master Qingming."

"That's right, and with Seimei-sama around, no matter what kind of youkai it is."

Xiaobai said swearingly.

Xiaobai had the same blind trust in Seimei as she did, so upon hearing this, Yukie nodded in agreement, but seeing Daitengu frowned slightly, as if these words did not reassure him like.

Staying any longer will only waste time, and Xuehui doesn't quite understand where Otengu's inexplicable tension comes from. After all, she is no longer the onmyoji who knew nothing at the beginning, so give She gave him a comforting look, and left with Qingming and the people sent by Minister Zuo.

But according to the domestic servant sent by Minister Zuo, this time it was not that there was a change in Minister Zuo's home, but that it was related to the family members of the deceased.

Because someone died in the mansion of the left minister, and the death was extremely horrific and bloody. After countless onmyojis and monks exorcised evil spirits and prayed for blessings, the evil spirit was still lurking there, so no one could live there. The wife of the son of the left minister who had become a widow brought them The only daughter moved out and was placed in another place.

And that girl seemed to be obsessed by some ghost, and couldn't sleep day and night.

This time they asked Qingming to go and see the child who lost his father and became somewhat insane, hoping that this great onmyoji who is well-known in the capital could solve this difficult matter.

Maybe it's not necessarily a ghost?

As soon as I entered the room, I suddenly had such an idea.

It was clearly daytime, but there was a feeling of dim light for no reason. The faces of all the people standing in the room were very blurred, and it was only by their voices that they could tell who they were.

She wasn't the only one who felt this way. Others seemed to realize that the room was too dark and immediately turned on the lights.

The surroundings are finally brighter.

The weak flame swayed weakly, as if it would be swallowed by darkness in the next second.

But when Qingming came, all the maids crowded inside got up and retreated, leaving only a few important people.

Minister Zuo is a middle-aged man about 50 to [-] years old, but in this age, he has already entered a deep twilight years.His beard and hair are grizzled, his eyes are no longer bright, but he reveals a kind of vicissitudes and tranquility that have experienced the passage of time and the ups and downs of the world.

But no matter how mature and calm a person is, once he endangers his important family members, he will lose his usual calm.The little girl was the only flesh and blood left behind by his son, and it was impossible not to rush into this appearance now.

Therefore, when he saw Qingming, it was as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw. He sighed and said, "I didn't want to disturb Lord Qingming, but the current situation really has no choice."

"My lord, you're being polite. This is what I'm supposed to do." After Qingming finished speaking, he looked at the child who was curled up in the corner, and seemed to be shivering and covering his whole body.

Xuehui only felt that the child seemed to be frightened, could it be because he saw something?

"You saw it too." Minister Zuo was very saddened. "Since that day, this child has become like this. He can't sleep or eat any food all day long. If this continues, I'm afraid..."

Speaking of this, the woman who was guarding the child—the widow of the left minister's son began to weep bitterly.

Qingming also didn't want to see this kind of scene, he sighed a little in his heart, but his expression was still very calm, the smile on his lips faded, and he asked: "Apart from that, is there anything else unusual? ?”

Minister Zuo shook his head: "There are onmyojis guarding the mansion day and night. Logically speaking, the monster cannot get close, but I'm afraid that this child will die before the trace of the monster is found."

Qingming said: "I'm afraid it's a heart attack." He looked at the child's mother: "Can you persuade this child to eat something first?"

Come a few more days without eating or drinking. If it is like this, it may really be like Minister Zuo said, and the monster will ascend to heaven before it is caught.

The child's mother was wiping her tears and just shook her head when she heard this.

Qingming had no choice but to go forward in person, squatted down, and tried to comfort the frightened child with a gentle voice, perhaps because of his own affinity, the child really stopped trembling, but revealed a pale face from under the quilt, a pair of black and shiny His eyes looked straight at Seimei.

"Good boy." Qingming's eyes were more gentle.

I don't know why, but the panic in my heart just settled down.

Next, she obediently listened to Qingming's words, and ate the food that was put aside, but because she hadn't eaten for a few days, she seemed a little eager to swallow the food, but she stopped soon.

Seeing this scene, Minister Zuo was almost unmoved and burst into tears. He believed that Qingming had a magical ability that others did not have.

But at this moment, there was a slight crisp sound, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

——It’s Xiaobai.

Xuehui hugged Xiaobai who was running around in embarrassment, but in the next second, she suddenly met the girl's eyes. The child was looking at Xiaobai, and seemed very interested.

However, in the eyes of ordinary people, Xiaobai looks similar to a fox, at most, he is cuter and more psychic than other foxes.

Qingming asked softly, "Do you like it?"

The little girl nodded, looked at the fox with soft fur without blinking, then moved her gaze upwards, and finally saw Yukie.

For some reason, the two onmyojis in front of her gave her a particularly safe feeling.It was as if, as long as they were there, that monster would never appear in his mind again.

Qingming smiled: "Then I'll let the owner, that sister, come to accompany you, okay?"

The little girl nodded.

"Then you must eat on time, understand?"

The little girl hesitated for a moment, but nodded anyway.

Yuki was taken aback.

But she also understood what Qingming meant in an instant——after all, Qingming was busy with important tasks every day, so she couldn't be by the child's side all the time, and it happened that the child was close to Xiaobai, so of course she stayed here to prevent the monster from suddenly appearing and hurting her. human condition.

Seeing that the child returned to normal temporarily, Minister Zuo let go of the heart that had been hanging all this time, but he still had doubts and wanted to ask about monsters. Although many onmyojis have been dispatched these days, without exception, things are still nothing progress.

He thought that Qingming would know something, but he saw Qingming smiled slightly, as if expecting him to come to him, and said, "Why don't you wait patiently for a few more days."

Minister Zuo didn't say anything, but just shifted his gaze to Xue Hui. In his opinion, this young girl didn't seem to have the reassuring power like Qingming, but Qingming just said: "Don't worry, my lord. The child's ability is quite outstanding."

That's how the matter was settled.

After Seimei left, except for her mother, most of the time, Yukie took care of the poor child.

But also because Yukie is a woman, she can always be with this child. If she is a man, such a close distance may have some impact on the reputation of a noble lady-even though she is only a child now.In order to let the little girl named Sakura temporarily forget her previous pain, Yukie began to tell her stories.

Of course it wasn't any legend about monsters, the child was frightened to the point where he turned pale when he heard about monsters.So Xue Hui could only patiently tell her the love story.

Anyway, I have read so many romance novels, any adaptation will be a new story.

The girl was really interested in these, she hugged Xiaobai, put her little hands between its soft fur, her eyes were watery, and asked her: "These stories are so fresh, you all came up with it yourself, Sister Xuehui." Is it?" But she seemed a little tired, she opened her mouth and yawned, her breath was soft like a kitten.

Xuehui was a little ashamed, and only laughed a few times: "Actually, I also heard these stories from other places." Seeing Yingzi's well-behaved appearance, her heart softened, and she patted her head: "If you are tired , just sleep."

Yingzi was a little bit conflicted, she was afraid that she would dream of that terrible scene, that terrible monster again in her dream.

But Yukie gave her the same feeling as Seimei, very gentle and reassuring.

The sudden surge of tiredness made her unable to resist, her eyelids sank, and she just fell asleep peacefully.

The lights in the house flickered, and a gust of wind from nowhere suddenly blew out its tiny light.

Yukie only felt that the surroundings seemed to be plunged into darkness all of a sudden.

And it's unbelievably quiet.

She tried her best to keep calm, her heart felt numb, and she asked softly, "Xiaobai?"

The little fox, who was very energetic in the past, didn't respond to her. Instead, like Yingzi, he fell asleep without a sound.

This is unusual.

When she was about to stand up, she felt a warm hand from her waist up to her face.

That hand caressed her skin gently, as if treating a beloved lover.

It's just that this kind of action makes her feel very weird, because she always feels that this monster is trying to figure out how to peel off her face.

She couldn't bear it anymore, and when she got up to see what this guy was, the light in the room suddenly brightened, and Yukie finally saw the appearance of this monster.

A young boy who seemed to be between a child and a teenager was looking at her affectionately. His face was perfect, his delicate brows and eyes were full of youthfulness, but he smiled evilly. .

He also wore a very ugly mask, which formed a great contrast with the exposed half of his handsome and lovely face.

For some reason, as soon as she saw that mask, she inexplicably felt that this child could not be Ootengu's brother...

Of course, this is not possible.

The young monster was smiling sweetly at her, with a deep charm in his smile, but he might not know that Yukie, who had been tricked once, would not accept this at all.

Xue Hui didn't understand what purpose this guy had, so he simply used his tricks.

She also smiled at the boy.

It was as if she had really succeeded in being seduced by him.
