The years I was in the human world

Chapter 91: Love for the Grass (1)

"It is you who are so rude, yet you want to pull out the tongue of my disciple. You are really overbearing." The ghost fairy held his cheek with his palm and spoke in a calm tone, like a tolerant elder. "I think it is because the sect lacks discipline."

“I advise you not to be shameless!” The cultivator was used to being unruly after being openly accused of being uncultured. He had never been scolded like this before, so he was about to take action, thinking that the ghost fairy was thin-skinned and would choose to swallow his anger out of fear of the Ye family behind them. However, he did not expect that the ghost fairy was cruel. Before the two of them could do anything, fine silk threads suddenly appeared around them, tied their hands and feet, and forced them to kneel down.

"Kneel down, and stand up when your master comes to apologize." The ghost fairy's tone was still calm, and he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly without haste.

"You are so bold, you villain, how dare you make me kneel? Do you know who is behind me?" After being punished by the ghost fairy, the cultivator who came to provoke him couldn't save face. He was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he was afraid that he would provoke the other party to kill him. So he had to bring up the sect behind him, hoping to scare the ghost fairy and make him loosen the shackles on them.

Who would have thought that the ghost fairy was a stubborn person. Hearing this, he glanced at them through his veil and said, "Who is behind you?" He didn't even know who they were. The monks who were watching the excitement shook their heads unconsciously when they heard the ghost fairy's question. They thought he was confident and dared to confront the Ye family and Changyang Sect. Who would have thought that he was just a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger? The master and apprentice would be in trouble if they fell into the hands of the Ye family. Everyone thought at the same time.

The two cultivators who were restrained by the ghost fairy introduced themselves to the ghost fairy, waiting for the ghost fairy to repent and untie them, and then apologize. Unexpectedly, the ghost fairy sneered and asked Lin Xiyang who was the head of the Ye family now. Lin Xiyang put down his chopsticks and replied softly: "Ye Yunzhou, the former head of Changyang Sect."

He was about to say a few more words to the ghost fairy about Ye Yunzhou, when the latter raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but his expression was hidden under the veil, so no one saw it. He sighed in an ambiguous way: "Ye Yunzhou, the disaster at Dongshan didn't kill him, but it made him rise again."

After saying this, the ghost fairy turned his head to look at the two people kneeling at his feet, and said with disdain: "I was wondering who was standing behind you, it turned out to be that hypocrite Ye Yunzhou, just ask him to come and cause trouble for me."

The ghost immortal was not low-key, and could even be called flamboyant. Although the two men who were kneeling at his feet were uneducated and unskilled, since they were brought to this extremely dangerous old capital to train, their status in the clan was naturally not low. Not long after, someone who looked like an elder came over. When the two saw their backer coming, they hurriedly said as if they saw a savior: "Uncle Master!"

If the man called Uncle Master was reasonable, he would not have taught such a disciple. Seeing his disciple being forced to kneel on the ground in public, he felt humiliated and had no intention of reasoning. He gathered a ball of spiritual energy in his palm and hit the ghost fairy: "How can a nameless cultivator like you punish a member of the Ye family?"

The ghost immortal stood still and watched the aura full of murderous intent rushing towards him. He did not dodge or evade, as if he was watching a show that had nothing to do with him. The aura dissipated in front of him. The ghost immortal's hand on his cheek never changed from beginning to end. He said, "Kneel down too."

As the Ghost Immortal finished speaking, the falling threads also wrapped around the body of the newcomer and pressed him down. Sharp icicles floated on the ground and pierced the latter's knees. At first, everyone else looked down on the Ghost Immortal master and apprentice, but now seeing him cripple the leader of the Ye family with just a wave of his hand, they were left with only astonishment and fear. Most people with such strength also have a proud character, so it is not surprising that they would openly confront the Ye family.

But the lone wolf is weak after all. The reason why the Ye family can be so domineering and cause complaints but still live in peace is not only because their family is prominent, but also because there are many masters in the family. Just like the team that led the team to the old royal capital for training this time, this elder is just one of the ordinary managers. The one who is really in charge is Elder Mingyan of the Changyang Sect.

"What are you doing? Why are you all kneeling on the ground?" A woman's voice pretended to be puzzled. Kong Qing came down from upstairs with Lu Zhouxue wearing a veil. She was clearly aware of the situation downstairs. She came down to clean up the mess when she saw that the situation was not good, but she still hypocritically asked this question. Lin Xiyang snorted coldly, not knowing whether he was mocking her hypocrisy. The ghost fairy knocked on the table lightly: "Eat your food, what are you sneering at, senior."

The tone was that of teaching a disciple, but there was really no reprimand in it. The master and disciple did not seem to take Kong Qing, who came with bad intentions, seriously. Kong Qing glanced at the elder's pierced kneecap, and then fixed his gaze on the ghost fairy. He smiled and said, "I don't know how my Ye family disciple offended this Taoist friend, so that he would do such a cruel thing?"

What she said was indeed unreasonable. It was clearly her family's Ye family who first threatened to pull out the disciple's tongue, and they were the first to take action. But now in Kong Qing's mouth, it became the master and disciple who were ruthless. For a moment, the hearts of all the cultivators in the inn leaned towards the ghost fairy, hoping that the latter would not retreat. They had suffered from the Ye family for a long time. If the ghost fairy could teach the Ye family a lesson, how happy would it be?

The monk whose knee was pierced felt like he had found his backbone when he saw Kong Qing coming. Although he looked older than Kong Qing, he still said with eager expectation: "Elder Lianxue, save me!"

Hearing his address, the Ghost Immortal's fingers that were playing with the teacup moved, and through the white veil of the veil, he gave Kong Qing a meaningful look. The latter frowned slightly, raised his hand to signal the man not to say anything more, and sat down opposite the Ghost Immortal. With a flick of his fingertips, he seemed to want to untie the restraints on the three people kneeling on the ground. The Ghost Immortal suddenly put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Miss, if you want to take someone from me, shouldn't you let me know?"

"Oh?" Kong Qing also tapped the table with her fingertips, with a rather aggressive tone, "Do you think, sir, that the Ye family is a small family that can be bullied by anyone?" Although she also disliked those two disciples who were always making trouble, when she was outside, no matter how much she disliked them, she would never slap her family members in the face in front of outsiders.

"Does that girl think that I am a coward who allows others to bully me?" The Ghost Immortal said in a light tone, and pressed his palm downwards, actually competing with Kong Qing. The three people were tortured by the fight between the two and they couldn't help but let out unbearable groans. The Ghost Immortal didn't care about their life or death, so naturally he had no reaction. Kong Qing, however, also acted as if he was deaf to all rumors, and just stared at the Ghost Immortal's movements of controlling the silk thread, his pupils constricted to the extreme because of excitement.

It's like that. It's too much like that. Lu Zhouxue controlled Tian Baisi in the same way. Kong Qing's eyes moved to the ghost fairy's face covered by the veil. She noticed the ghost fairy's moves from upstairs. It seemed to be a crooked way, but others didn't know it, but she remembered it. Lu Zhouxue used the same way back then. Kong Qing wanted to know if that person had come back in a different way. For nearly two hundred years, she had summoned the soul tens of thousands of times, but she had never succeeded once. With Lu Zhouxue's ability, it was not impossible for him to abandon his body and take over another body.

Kong Qing was eager to see the ghost fairy's face, but after a fight, she knew that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person, and she could not bully him. Considering the strength of both sides, she changed her approach and stopped fighting with the ghost fairy. She withdrew her spiritual power from competing with the latter and changed the subject: "Ye's disciples are sometimes naughty and offend you. It's not wrong to let you deal with them. But everything should be open and aboveboard. I'm afraid it's not right for you to be so secretive and not show your true face to others."

"Whether my master hides his face or not is none of your business." Lin Xiyang finished his meal, put down his bowl and refuted Kong Qing's idea of ​​substitution.

"Originally, I really couldn't control what hat he wore." Kong Qing's eyes swept across Lin Xiyang's face, not taking him seriously at all. "But now he has taken my Ye family disciple. For both public and private reasons, shouldn't I find out who has touched someone in the family? Besides, if he is an honest person and has nothing to sin against, then what's wrong with revealing his true face for people to see?"

At first glance, what Kong Qing said seemed to make sense, but a closer look at his words revealed that it was all specious. Lin Xiyang wanted to say something, but the ghost fairy raised his hand to stop him from talking, and directed his words to Lu Zhouxue, who Kong Qing brought with him: "Isn't this guy beside the girl also secretive? Could he have something guilty?"

The ghost fairy said this purely to retaliate, but to some extent he hit the nail on the head. Lu Zhouxue was wearing a veil because it was Kong Qing's fault. However, when the ghost fairy mentioned it, Kong Qing reached out and took off the veil from Lu Zhouxue's head. Lu Zhouxue had an extremely beautiful face, but at this moment she sat there with lifeless eyes. Anyone who saw her would know that she was a mindless puppet, being kept around as a toy for fun.

The monks in the inn all looked at Kong Qing with subtle eyes. They didn't expect that Elder Lianxue of Zhongting had such a bohemian side. However, the puppet was indeed stunningly beautiful, with an appearance as white as frost and snow, like a banished immortal. Who would not have some strange thoughts when seeing it?

Kong Qing didn't care about other people's messy thoughts and speculations. She just wanted to know the ghost fairy's reaction. She never liked to show Lu Zhouxue's true appearance in front of others because she didn't like the covetous hearts of others. She revealed it rashly at this moment, not to show off, but to make the ghost fairy have no reason to cover it up. It was also a test. If it was really Lu Zhouxue who had taken over another body and saw her former corpse, she would react no matter what.

Kong Qing watched the ghost fairy's reaction intently. The latter slowly raised his hand and grasped the edge of the veil, gently took the hat off, and said, "Miss, what do you want to confirm?" Kong Qing became suspicious of the ghost fairy with just one move, and her thoughts were also exposed in front of the latter.

Under the veil was a face she had not expected. Half of the face was extremely handsome, with sharp eyebrows and eyes like a cold blade, and smoky gray eyes like the mist in the mountains, nothing could get into them; the other half of the face was covered with knife marks, like a painting of a beauty that had been cut and pieced together, with a bloody aura after a fight and slaughter. It was completely different from Lu Zhouxue's temperament.

"How is it possible..." Kong Qing saw the ugly and beautiful face of the ghost fairy, and was surprised. The way she manipulated the silk thread was exactly the same as Lu Zhouxue's. How could it not be? It was ridiculous. She had looked for Yu Zhao's shadow in the pure and beautiful Lu Zhouxue in the past, and now she was looking for Lu Zhouxue's shadow in another completely different person. It was a kind of paranoia.

"It seems that the girl has recognized the wrong person." The ghost immortal's expression remained unchanged, as if he had not reacted to the puppet brought by Kong Qing. However, the emotion in his eyes suddenly turned cold, which Kong Qing did not notice. He glanced at Lu Zhouxue calmly, and a hint of disgust flashed secretly in his eyes.

As if he was disgusted by someone, his originally gentle aura turned cold. His change was very subtle, and only Lin Xiyang beside him noticed it. He turned around and asked softly, "Master?"

"This puppet of yours has beautiful features and fair skin. Although it lacks some spiritual energy, it is still top-grade. I am willing to exchange it for a spiritual treasure. What do you think?" The ghost fairy stared at Lu Zhouxue's face and spoke in a frivolous manner. Kong Qing's face suddenly darkened.

When she came just now, she first pulled out a chair for Lu Zhouxue. It was clear that she was a leftist in treating her treasured things. Anyone with a discerning eye could see it. However, the ghost fairy still said such words, but her expression was clearly cold, not like she was coveting. It was obvious that she was deliberately provoking. Kong Qing naturally expected it, but she still couldn't tolerate it. She immediately slapped the table and stared at the ghost fairy's cold eyes with an unfriendly look: "Daoyou are so brave."

Kong Qing had been somewhat polite just now because she suspected that the ghost fairy was Lu Zhouxue who had taken over another body. Although she still could not completely deny that the ghost fairy was Lu Zhouxue, her suspicion had been largely dispelled because of the disappointment when she saw the ghost fairy's ugly face. In addition, the latter's words were frivolous, which really touched her reverse scale. She immediately did not hold back and grabbed the ghost fairy's face with her five fingers into claws, bringing up a fierce palm wind.

The ghost fairy protected Lin Xiyang and dodged. His fingertips touched Kong Qing's wrist, and the latter's strength suddenly relaxed. Kong Qing's face changed and he narrowed his eyes vigilantly: "You react quickly. Come on!"

The blazing light of the Zhaoyang Sword was as bright as a flame, and it landed sharply on Kong Qing's brow, making this graceful girl look murderous. She thrust out with the sword, and her movement was so fast that an afterimage was left. Everyone in the room was amazed. Elder Lianxue was worthy of being the daughter of the sect master. The level of her sword power was so high that even if these unknown people practiced for three hundred years, they would not be able to catch up.

Although everyone expected the ghost immortal to teach the Ye family a lesson, they all knew that it would be difficult for him to win against others under the sword power of Elder Lianxue. Just when everyone thought that the ghost immortal was going to be defeated, he moved like a shadow and grabbed Kong Qing's sword-holding arm in an instant and slapped her on the back. Kong Qing's spiritual energy suddenly became disordered, she spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered forward a few steps, and then barely stabilized her body.
