Morning Star

Xu Lian was certain that Chujiu could not produce any evidence, and sneered, "She is not wrongly accusing someone? Then she has the guts to produce evidence."

The Chu family is all sick, right? They are protecting someone like Chujiu? And how is Chujiu still alive? He clearly fell down.

Chu Furong glanced at Chu Jiu, who had a gloomy face. She knew that Chu Jiu could not produce any evidence, otherwise her parents would not sit idly by after she went home and told them about her murder.

"God is watching what you do. Miss Xu knows exactly what she has done." She no longer had the heart to show a good expression.

Her sister herself could say and scold, but not others, especially people like Xu Lian.

Gao Yashan, Chu Jiu and Xu Yan were all startled by Chu Furong's sudden change in demeanor.

Gao Yashan and Chu Furong had competed before, and both sides fought passionately. Although Chu Furong was slightly inferior to Gao Yashan in strength, Gao Yashan still admired Chu Furong. Not only because Chu Furong was the second young lady, but also because Chu Furong had an extraordinary demeanor, which was worthy of everyone's evaluation of her as "a lotus emerging from the water".

But when Chu Furong faced Gao Yashan, she was as gentle as before, not as strong as she is now.

Gao Yashan looked at Chu Furong without blinking.

For some reason, he felt that the second young lady was particularly beautiful and dazzling.

Chujiu was even more surprised. Chu Furong actually spoke up for her.

After being stunned for a moment, Xu Yan felt extremely ashamed, and at the same time he was angry that his sister had done such a thing and did not admit it.

He doesn't want this sister anymore, can he give her away?

He glared at Xu Lian: "What did your parents teach you? What did you do that you don't admit?"

"I..." Xu Lian's face turned pale with fright, but then turned red with anger.

"I don't!"

She absolutely could not admit it, because the people in front of her were the Chu family. If her parents knew that she almost killed Chujiu, they would definitely not let her go, and the Chu family would not let her go either. As long as Chujiu could not produce evidence, she had not harmed Chujiu.

And Chujiu is alive and well. Why is it still her fault?

She looked at Chujiu again: "Why are you accusing a good person here when you can't produce any evidence?"

"Haha, good guy?" Chujiu chuckled, full of sarcasm, "I wonder if Miss Xu has ever heard of the saying, 'If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door.'"

But in a flash, the sarcasm on his face disappeared, and he became as cold and terrifying as a wronged ghost, and even his voice was eerie and ethereal.

"Xu Lian, do you think I'm a living person or a wronged ghost?"

As she spoke, she took a step towards Xu Lian.

At this moment, a breeze suddenly blew, bringing an inexplicable coolness to the hot day.

"Ah—don't come over here—"

Xu Lian was so frightened that her face turned pale. She screamed and stepped back subconsciously.

Her reaction was obvious. Xu Yan was a little skeptical before, but now he was convinced.

Xu Lian didn't notice the way Xu Yan looked at her. She hid behind him, trembling with her hands, pulling his sleeves and begging in a sobbing voice, "Brother, brother, I... let's go quickly, let's leave here, okay?"

Seeing her frightened look, Xu Yan became more and more angry, but it was getting late, so he had to clasp his fists and say to Chu Jiu and Chu Furong: "I will give an explanation to the Third Miss about this matter. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he and Xu Lian left quickly.

Seeing Xu Lianchujiu going away, the eerie look on his face disappeared and he looked mocking, "Where did the ghost come from in broad daylight? You are so timid that you cry when you are scared."

Mo Xinglan: “…”

She said it as if she was very brave. I don't know who was always frightened by his eyes or two and trembled.

After a pause, I felt annoyed again.

She seemed very afraid of him.

Chu Furong looked into the distance, and thinking of what Chu Jiu had just said, she said unhappily, "You are the only one who is so brave. You knew they hated you, yet you still dared to run out alone. You deserve to be killed."

Chujiu didn't get angry after hearing this, but laughed instead, and leaned over with a frown: "Hey, second sister, are you concerned about me?"

What do you mean he deserved to be killed? He was obviously worried about her.

“…Who cares about you?” Chu Furong was stunned for a moment and her eyes were evasive.

Seeing her guilty look, Chujiu smiled slyly: "You said you don't care, but you just spoke up for me."

"I was..."

"what is that?"

"That's because my parents asked me to watch you when we go out and not let you get into trouble."

"Tsk." I believed her lies.

After a moment of hesitation, she muttered awkwardly: "Anyway, thank you for what you did just now."

Chu Furong was a little surprised, then she smiled and moved closer to Chu Jiu: "What did third sister say? Speak louder, I didn't hear you clearly."

Chu Jiu rolled his eyes at her, with a cunning look in his eyes. He put his hand next to Chu Furong's ear, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "I say, Second Sister, you...are deaf."

"..."

The smile on Chu Furong's face gradually froze.

Chujiu took advantage of her before she could react and pulled Mo Xinglan towards the gradually shortening queue in front.

As for why she jumped, it was because she had an injury on her leg and it hurt.

Gao Yashan looked at the figures of Chujiu and Mo Xinglan leaving, and then looked at Chu Furong who was frozen in place. It was not right to leave, and it was not right not to leave. Forget it, he should stay with the second lady, because the third lady has Master Mo by her side.

"Chu! Jiu! Stop right there." Chu Furong finally came to her senses and walked towards Chu Jiu angrily.

“Hahahaha…” Chujiu’s hearty laughter came from the front.

"You're still laughing!" Chu Furong shouted angrily from behind.

Chujiu and Mo Xinglan finally stood in the queue.

Chujiu stood in front of Mo Xinglan, looking at the bone-touching lady sitting at the head with curiosity to see how she touched the bones.

Gao Yashan stood right behind Mo Xinglan. Chu Furong walked a few steps quickly to Chu Jiu and glared at her.

Chu Jiu smiled at her awkwardly, and took a step back to leave a vacant seat for another person. Chu Furong snorted coldly and stepped in.

"..."

How childish of them to cut in line with her. The four of them were already at the back, so why should they cut in line?

Humph, forget it, her sister doesn’t hold grudges against her elder sister.

……

After Chujiu walked into the domain gate, a cool feeling swept over his whole body, and the air felt a lot fresher.

Looking up again, the sky was hazy, as if covered by a layer of white mist. Retracting my gaze, I saw two stone pillars with mysterious totems carved on them not far away. There was a small house on the nearer side, with a long table at the door, and paper and inkstone on the long table. A white-haired old man was holding his head with one hand and a pen in the other hand, looking lazy and yawning. From time to time, the hand holding the pen wrote something on the white paper in front of him, seemingly recording something. And next to the long table stood a spirit-testing stone. At this time, a small long line was lined up in front of the spirit-testing stone.

It turned out that he was testing the cultivation level, and the old man was recording the name and cultivation level of each new disciple.

The four people of Chujiu were at the end of the line, but fortunately the line was not very long and it wasn't long before they reached their turn.

This time, Chujiu can see what hidden skills Mo Xinglan uses.

Mo Xinglan was the second to last. After Chujiu finished the test, he stood aside and stared with his almond-shaped eyes.

Mo Xinglan put his hand on the spirit-testing stone like everyone else, and the words "underground" appeared on the spirit-testing stone.

The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."

So every time she saw the words "di zhong", she felt distracted.

Mo Xinglan's test was normal, and he told the old man his name. But the old man did not write down his name and cultivation level as quickly as the others did. Instead, he looked at Mo Xinglan with his clear eyes, then looked at the spirit stone, and after a moment of silence, he said to Mo Xinglan, "Little kid, test it again. I didn't see it clearly just now."
