Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 286 Adventure
Qian Liangfeng became more and more discouraged as he spoke, and the last word of "busy" was almost swallowed up by him.

If it weren't for Wei Xi's amazing hearing, he probably wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying.

Looking at the edge of Wei Xi's boots, Qian Liangfeng, with beads of sweat on his forehead, said hurriedly and quickly, "We were disturbed by the snow rats last night. You should go back and rest!"

Seeing Qian Liangfeng like this, Wei Xi was full of doubts. He also thought that this harmless fat white man was an acquaintance of his, and it would be bad if something happened to him.

Therefore, Wei Xi instructed Ling Yin softly in his heart: "You and I are from the same sect, it's no big deal to help each other!"

Fearing that the other party wasn't feeling guilty enough, Wei Xi's spiritual energy surged slightly, and his eyes suddenly turned red. "We both joined the sect together. Are you going to be estranged from me just because I've been at Yin Yang Slope for two years?"

Qian Liangfeng had never seen anything like this before. He was so frightened that he begged for mercy, "Don't tell me! There's no such thing!"

Wei Xi’s performance was not in vain, Qian Liangfeng finally chose to tell everything.

"Wei Xi... I said that the fire at Bailu Pavilion four years ago... was not set by me," Qian Liangfeng said aggrievedly, "Do you believe it?"

"I believe it! Bailu Pavilion has a protective formation. As long as it's not intentional arson, nothing will happen!"

Wei Xi achieved his goal and returned to his usual slightly cold and rational expression. Fortunately, Qian Liangfeng was in a trance at the time and did not notice that the other party had given up the performance.

"Alas... not really... I didn't set the fire on purpose," Qian Liangfeng said with a stern look, lowering his brows. "At the time... I was on night watch here, observing the stars... Who would have thought I would actually see a shadow half an arm's height crawling into the bookshelf?"

"I've been timid since I was a child... At that time, I thought it was..." Qian Liangfeng glanced at Wei Xi. Seeing that she didn't show any doubt, he relaxed a little and said, "That dirty thing... scared me so much that I broke the lamp!"

"Who knew Bailu Pavilion's defensive formation was so sensitive..." Qian Liangfeng's expression was somewhat dejected. "Later, I was ordered not to stand guard!"

"I don't dare to talk about this kind of thing. I thought I didn't sleep enough and was hallucinating..."

Wei Xi had seen this kid's sleep quality at Wen Dao Hall: it wasn't just good, it was one of the best! Even when Han Xianshi was teaching, Qian Liangfeng would seize every available moment to sleep. Once, he even smashed his face into the inkstone, so angry that Han Xianshi punished him by making him copy the lecture notes ten times.

Wei Xi didn't believe that he slept too little.

This kid was probably so frightened that he could only comfort himself in this way.

Qian Liangfeng hugged his arms and continued, "After that day... I rarely came to Bailu Pavilion, and even when I did, I brought Zheng Xing with me..."

"Until one day, Elder Qingniu urgently needed an atlas and sent me to Bailu Pavilion to get it... and I... was captured by that female ghost!"

Hearing this, Wei Xi wanted to refute him and say that there were no ghosts in the world. But what she thought was not important. The key was to coax Qian Liangfeng to tell the whole story, so she just said a few words of comfort and urged him to continue.

"That female ghost wasn't very big. She was hiding on a pile of books. She had big golden eyes. When she saw me, she wanted me to confess..."

"Confess?" Wei Xi couldn't help but ask aloud, and then suddenly realized: "Fire!"

Qian Liangfeng wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and said, "That's right... That's right! I begged her to let me go, but she became even more proud, saying that the entire Bailu Pavilion is her territory and I can't leave! I have to obey her!"

Without any hesitation, Qian Liangfeng chose to beg for mercy, which was quite indicative of the true skills of the sect.

Wei Xi could imagine the scene at that time, which was probably only slightly more embarrassed than he was now.

Seeing his cowardly look, Wei Xi knew that this man was not possessed by a "ghost". He simply hooked his fingers around the handle of the dagger and asked, "Then how did you get away?"

"Me?" Qian Liangfeng looked at Wei Xi, remembering her decisiveness and the help she had given him. He took a deep breath and said, "I gave her all the candy in my pocket!"

Wei Xi, who didn't believe in ghosts and gods, asked: "You mean," Wei Xi asked in a puzzled tone, "you gave the 'ghost' a handful of candy? And she let you go?"

She even deliberately emphasized the word "ghost".

After receiving a positive answer, Wei Xi felt that he was the unlucky one who had hallucinations caused by lack of sleep.

"This... 'ghost'," Wei Xi said uncertainly, "Don't tell me you're looking for a 'ghost' here today?"

Under Wei Xi's gaze, Qian Liangfeng, who was about to cry and had tears in his eyes, confirmed her statement.

"That's right... after that day, I came to Bailu Pavilion again, and she ran out... after a few visits, we became familiar with each other."

"She is usually very mean, always asking me to buy her candies and scolding me all the time..." Qian Liangfeng complained to Wei Xi - God knows how badly he was bullied by that thing, and now he finally had someone to talk to, and complained one after another.

"Fortunately, she can help me," Qian Liangfeng changed the subject. "She said she's been in Bailu Pavilion for a long time and knows everything. She told me I can ask her any questions I have!"

"...I also got the information about Buqi from her!"

No wonder, Wei Xi thought, Qian Liangfeng was able to accurately find detailed information about the products of southern Xinjiang at a speed that was jaw-dropping.

It turns out that it required divine help. I’m so sorry!

"Then you..." Wei Xi looked at the bookshelves around him, his hand hidden in his sleeves pressing on the hilt of the dagger, "Are you looking for her?"

"Yes, I couldn't find her after I came back from Zhenhai Sect. At first I was very happy, but later... I became worried and kept looking for her in Bailu Pavilion..."

"She's been missing for two years?" Wei Xi looked around the bookshelf. "Is there any clue here?"

Qian Liangfeng blushed at this and stammered, "I don't have any better idea..."

"Let me help you find it!" Wei Xi acted like a helpful and kind person, but in fact he wanted to find this mysterious 'ghost' and ask some questions.

Qian Liangfeng didn't have so many thoughts. He just knew that Wei Xi wanted to help him, so he actively told the other party the places where the "ghost" often appeared.

Wei Xi made a note, but did not move. Instead, he asked about other details.

"Besides asking you to buy her candy, what else did this 'ghost' ask you to do?"

"I remember... she asked me to clean the bookshelf! Look, those are the ones we marked just now!"

“Some books were thrown aside and out of order, so I reorganized them according to her requirements.”

Wei Xi walked around the bookshelves and found that the types of books were different, and the time span was a bit too long for an old and dilapidated building like Bailu Pavilion.

Soon the sunlight poured into Bailu Pavilion. The winter sun was like melted syrup, stagnating on the bookshelves that looked like building blocks.

Wei Xi suddenly had an idea: Could the "ghost" that Qian Liangfeng mentioned be the spirit of the weapon?

　Too bad! I'm going to write a book exposing Wei Xi! (dog head)
