The sickly boss always wants to get close to her

Chu Bainiao hasn’t figured out how to explain it yet. If she takes action in front of her senior brother and reveals her strength, her senior brother will definitely find out that she is not her original self.

Based on the way he tied her up before, she wasn't sure if he would tie her up again and bring her to the head of Tianze Sect after he found out that she was not the original one.

Although now she is the only one who can tie up her senior brother, and his senior brother cannot tie up her.

Chu Bai Niao said thoughtfully, "I plan to go to the imperial city first to check out the situation, Junior Master, there is something strange about that evil ghost. When you were not here, I was discussing with Taishi Huai how he instigated the emperor to build large-scale projects in various places."

"Let's go and take a look together. I'm afraid that evil ghost has some plans."

Shen Tanqing knew that she was trying to change the subject. After understanding her decision, she said helplessly: "I will accompany you to the imperial city to check it out... Junior Brother Chu..."

He slowed down his tone, and his gentle voice seemed to fall into her ears, "Chu Bainiao...but you have to promise me that if you can't beat me, you have to come with me. I won't watch you die."

Chu Bainiao was thinking about how to get away and kill the ghost. She didn't want to wait. Since she had the strength, she would just crush it.

"Okay," she said.

The insincere tone made Shen Tanqing stunned for a moment. He sighed and thought, forget it, since he was here, he would not let the other party get hurt no matter what.

It would be abnormal not to think of revenge when your master's sect was massacred.

Shen Tanqing didn't want to dwell on this matter any longer. As they walked back, he paused and pretended not to care and asked, "What happened to Taishi Huai?"

Still... I mind.

After all, he had worked so hard to chase the girl down the mountain with full of love, but when he got down the mountain, he found that there was suddenly a man beside the girl he liked.

He was a handsome and noble young man who looked weak and pitiful. He was worried that Junior Brother Chu liked this type.

Although Junior-Junior Brother Chu usually looks cold and unkind, she is actually very soft-hearted and kind. What if she feels a little sympathy for the sick prince?

Chu Bai Niao was still thinking about how to get out of this situation. Hearing this, he said nonchalantly, "I met her on the road and saw that the little girl looked like she was going to die, so I lent her a hand."

"I didn't expect to find the ghost I was looking for by accident."

Although Shen Tanqing felt unwell, he still silently began to apply eye drops and comforted himself that he was telling the truth.

"The royal family is the most heartless and ungrateful. It is better to have less contact with them."

Chu Bai Niao realized what her senior brother was doing after hearing this. She looked up at him with a smile, "Really? Junior Uncle-Master?"

She looked at the man's watery lips, "I heard that the upper lip represents friendship and the lower lip represents desire. Junior Master's upper lip is thin and the lower lip is thick—"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Tanqing. He pursed his lower lip and said seriously, "Who told you that? This is totally unfounded."

He thought that he had just applied the eye drops and the next moment Junior Brother Chu said these words to hurt him. He felt shocked and terrified, and a little angry. What good could Taishi Huai have done?

Is this protected?

Chu Bainiao's eyes were still on Shen Tanqing's lips. Even though he pursed his lips, those lips were still bright, red and fleshy, and looked very good to bite.

"It's just a mention, Junior Master, don't worry about it."

She looked away, but saw that the other person's eyebrows were not as excited as before, and his long and slightly curled eyelashes drooped, revealing a bit of sadness.

Chu Bainiu's breath was choked.

What? You're not going to cry after just saying one thing?

Hiss, Shen Tanqing doesn’t look like that kind of person, does he?

Catching a glimpse of the fire from afar, Chu Bainiao awkwardly changed the subject: "By the way, Junior Master, why are you here?"

Shen Tanqing gritted his teeth secretly, and gloomily glanced at Taishi Huai who was unaware of the situation. He said in a low voice: "Recently, the disciples of Qingxiao Sect who were investigating discovered an evil formation outside the Qingxiao Palace."

"After investigation, it was confirmed that it was a formation for training ghosts. Junior Brother Chu, it was not a coincidence that you survived. The evil ghost deliberately spared your life in order to train you into a ghost."

"It's only because there was a problem with the formation that you're fine. After I found out about this, I was worried that you might be visited by evil spirits, so I rushed down the mountain to look for you."

Chu Bainiao's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly thought of a way to escape.

The formation could not withstand her soul and was broken by the backlash. Logically speaking, this was a strange point, because no matter how powerful the original body was, she could not get rid of the evil formation without the help of a third party.

Therefore, there must have been a third person in the minds of Huanxu and others at that time.

That was easy. When she arrived at the imperial city, she tied up her brother and threw him aside, saying that she was saved by an immortal. For some reason, the immortal was unable to do it himself, so he left his strongest blow in her body and told her to kill the evil ghost.

She might as well just put the blame on herself. No one else could find out the truth anyway. No matter how they tried, her soul was still her original self in everyone's eyes.

Chu Bai Niao thought of a way, his eyebrows softened, and he said to Shen Tanqing gently: "Thank you for coming down the mountain to find me, Junior Master."

Shen Tanqing was confused by her hot and cold attitude, but she still replied subconsciously: "No, you're welcome, Junior Brother Chu, I will accompany you."

The two returned to the fire again, and Chu Bainiao looked at Tai Shi Huai, "Take out the map and take another look."

Tai Shi Huai took out a map from his sleeve, and Shen Tanqing took the map calmly and sat between the two of them.

Tai Shi Huai grew up in the palace and had seen all kinds of intrigues and deceptions. Naturally, he saw through Elder Shen's thoughts at a glance. Although he was wondering how a Taoist uncle and nephew could be together?

But there was no expression on his face, and he diligently pointed out the direction for the two Taoist priests.

With the imperial city as the center and arranged according to the eight trigrams, large buildings were built in eight places.

And those places are exactly where the Taoist sect cannot reach.

Shen Tanqing frowned, not caring about Taishi Huai's dissatisfaction, and asked solemnly: "Do you know what you are cultivating?"

Tai Shi Huai said: "I haven't seen it in person, but I have seen the blueprints."

He picked up a branch at random and started drawing on the ground. After a while, a building that looked like an altar was drawn.

Chu Bai Niao added: "And that evil ghost also made the emperor take in many boys and girls into the palace."

Shen Tanqing looked at Taishi Huai in disbelief, "You took so many children away, won't the parents make a fuss? And you don't care?"

Tai Shi Huai said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, that evil Taoist looks like an immortal and does have some abilities, and the people all thought that the child came to the palace to practice Taoism..."

"We originally just hated him for not doing anything with our father, but we didn't expect that the other party was actually a ghost."

"Those kids—it's all my fault."

There was a layer of gloom between Taishi Huai's brows.

"Junior Master? Do you have any clues?" Chu Bainiao asked.

Shen Tanqing's hands tightened as he held the map. "This evil ghost wants to become an immortal."
