Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 188 Two Little Taoist Children
Xie Qingyao's heartbeat was like a war drum, her blood boiling, like a soldier about to go into battle. Aunt Hua had already slipped out to prepare for the ritual in a while, and as long as she could coax Xie Qingli over, the secret technique of borrowing life would be successful immediately!
She walked out of the Sanqing Hall with her head held high, and took a few steps forward. She tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart, took a deep breath, stopped, and put on a gentle and warm smile on her face. She slowly turned around and said, "Sister Li'er, I heard that the scenery on the mountain behind the hall is very beautiful. Let's go..."
But she suddenly stopped talking and the smile froze on her face. Following behind her were only Xie Tingxuan with a flattering look on his face and Xie Qingqi with a gloomy face. Where was Xie Qingli?
Xie Tingxuan quickly approached Xie Qingyao and scoffed, "Sister Yao'er, that village girl and the bastard from the third room have already gone to the side hall. Those two bitches are not worthy of playing with us."
He reached out and took Xie Qingyao's hand, and said attentively: "Sister, Xuan'er will accompany you to see the scenery of the back mountain. The mountain road is steep, so Xuan'er will support you!"
Xie Qingyao's face suddenly turned gloomy. She shook off Xie Tingxuan's hand in disgust, her eyes grim, and said in a cold voice: "Brother Xuan'er, go find grandma. Grandma will definitely help you find a powerful Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirit." After that, she trotted towards the side hall.
Xie Tingxuan's warm welcome was met with a cold reception, and his fair face turned pale and red.
Xie Qingqi's lips curled up into a mocking smile, and she snorted coldly: "Humph! You treat me as your own sister, but I look down on you. How does it feel to flatter someone? Hahaha~"
Xie Tingxuan's rage surged. He glared at Xie Qingqi fiercely and roared, "Sister Yao'er is beautiful, kind-hearted, and extremely noble. She is a hundred times better than you, an ugly freak. In this life, I only regard her as my sister, and you, are nothing!"
Xie Qingqi was heartbroken by these words, her nose felt sore, and tears burst out.
Xie Tingxuan was still not satisfied. He grabbed Xie Qingqi's head fiercely until Xie Qingqi's hair was messed up. Only then did he chase after Xie Qingyao's back with satisfaction.
Xie Qingqi's heart ached. Her mother had passed away, her father was unreliable, and now her stubborn brother preferred to recognize a fake sister as his. What hope was there in life? She no longer had the heart to play around. She quietly wiped away her tears and ran towards the guest room.
……
On the other side, Xie Qingli and Xie Qingrong were holding hands and wandering aimlessly in the temple. When they came to a magnificent palace, they walked in.
The temple is very large and houses many gods and goddesses. Some of the statues have kind faces, while others have ferocious expressions.
Xie Qingrong was trembling with fear. She tightly grasped Xie Qingli's arm and said in a trembling voice, "Big sister, didn't they say that Xuanjing Temple was very popular? Why is there not a single pilgrim? It feels a bit spooky..."
"You little brat, stop talking nonsense here!" A voice as cold as ice suddenly sounded, echoing in the empty hall, gloomy and sharp.
Xie Qingrong was so frightened that she screamed "Wow!" and she froze in place, unable to move.
Although Xie Qingli was always on guard, the sudden sound made her heart skip a beat. She quickly covered Xie Qingrong's mouth and patted her back soothingly.
After a while, Xie Qingrong's expression eased a little. She pouted in grievance but didn't dare to cry out loud. She simply hid in Xie Qingli's arms and shed tears silently.
Xie Qingli looked around and didn't see the person who spoke, so he said loudly to the void: "Master, my sister is young and naive. She didn't mean to offend me. I hope you can forgive me!"
The voice said coldly: "This is not the place for you to play, get out now!"
Echoes came from all directions. Xie Qingli listened attentively, but still couldn't tell where the person was hiding. He could only bow towards the largest statue in the center and said softly, "I'm sorry to bother you!"
After she finished speaking, she pulled Xie Qingrong and walked quickly towards the palace gate.
"There is a noble man practicing in the back mountain, so don't go there!" The voice sounded faintly again, but it was no longer as cold and harsh as before.
The echo from the temple gate gradually weakened, and Xie Qingli finally concluded that the man was hiding behind the largest statue, but she seemed not to hear what the man said, and she did not stop and quickly walked out of the temple gate.
Outside the palace, the sun was shining brightly. The warm sunlight shone on her body, making her whole body warm. Xie Qingrong finally stopped crying. She took Xie Qingli's hand and asked curiously, "Big sister, who do you think is practicing in seclusion in the back mountain?"
Xie Qingli tapped Xie Qingrong's forehead, sighed softly, and whispered, "Curiosity kills the cat! There's nothing else to see in this Taoist temple except these statues. Let's go back to the guest room!"
But when they were halfway there, two little Taoist boys with tied hair and green clothes came towards them.
One of the little Taoist boys looked up and looked directly at Xie Qingli, with a hint of ecstasy in his eyes. The other one seemed very shy and kept his head down, so his face could not be seen clearly.
The brave little Taoist boy put on a harmless and innocent smile and said sweetly, "Fairy sister, are you the eldest daughter of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion? My master is Taoist Master Xuanchen. He wants to see you. Shall I take you to see him?"
Xie Qingli secretly thought that she had finally arrived. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart settled down. She had been on guard all the way, and it turned out that Xie Qingyao's plan was to send two seemingly harmless children to deceive her!
A look of vigilance appeared on her face. She took two steps back and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "How did you recognize me as the eldest daughter of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion? I've never seen you before."
The little Taoist boy smiled brightly. This young lady had some cleverness, but not much, and seemed easy to deceive.
His eyes rolled around, and he made up a story, "The old lady of your house told me. She said her eldest granddaughter was wearing a lilac dress and was as beautiful as a fairy from heaven!"
This lie was as outrageous as saying that the sun rises from the west. Xie Qingli almost couldn't help laughing. This little Taoist boy said these nonsense without blinking. It seemed that he lied to people a lot in his daily life!
She suppressed the smile in her heart, looked at Xie Qingrong beside her, frowned and said: "I need to send my sister back to the guest room first, you wait here for me."
"No, no!" The little Taoist boy hurriedly stopped him. If Miss Xie ran into Old Madam Xie in the guest room, wouldn't his lie be exposed? But he couldn't think of a suitable excuse for the moment, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Suddenly, the little Taoist boy who had been silent all this time whispered, "Brother, I, I can take this young lady to the guest room. Brother, take Miss Xie to see the master..." He still lowered his head, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The bold little Taoist boy's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that this junior brother, who usually schemed against him, was very wise today. Not only did he not steal the credit from him, he also helped him solve the problem!
The shy little Taoist boy lowered his head and said to Xie Qingrong, "Miss Xie, follow me!" After that, he turned and walked towards the guest room.
Xie Qingrong didn't suspect anything and said crisply, "Big sister, don't worry about Rong'er. Rong'er has left first. Big sister, please go and get busy." Then she quickly chased after the little Taoist boy...
