After being read by the mind, my apprentice wanted to rebel

(⊙o⊙)…, everyone around was stunned. Did they all guess wrong?

Yunniang was the mistress of the house after all. Although she was a little annoyed with her foolish husband, she still had to save face for him in front of outsiders. "We don't need servants at the moment."

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore, thank you for troubling my madam", Lin Xian'er walked back in a daze: Beauty, please take care of me, I'm so pitiful, please be kind enough to accept us.

However, Lin Xian'er was disappointed. Yunniang didn't call her back and took the servants back to the house. The first thing she did when she got back was to explain the situation to Xixilu. Xixilu's face turned green and red, and he finally threw himself into the arms of his wife Xiangxiang.

Lin Xian'er returned to the inn and rested leisurely. The most important news she had received today was that something had happened to the eldest prince. Could this be related to that thing? In any case, they had to go and investigate.

At night, Xie Qijun and Qi Miao were in Lin Xianer's room discussing the next steps.

"The most important information we got today is that something happened to the eldest prince. Every place in the palace is the most dangerous. I will go and check out the situation first." Lin Xian'er will not stay in the ghost world forever.

"I'll go," Xie Qijun didn't want Lin Xian'er to always take the lead and take risks. He is a man, so he will go.

"I'll go. While the Tianji Sect isn't good at fighting, they have a lot of skills in concealment and hiding. Besides, you've been holding the line these past few days, so we should also contribute." Qi Miao could guess the purpose of Lin Xian'er's actions. Although it seemed absurd, it was very effective. Now no one doubted their identities. However, this also had its drawbacks. With their identities, they couldn't stay in the inn forever. After a while, it would still look unusual.

Lin Xian'er really wanted to be lazy, but these two guys going to the palace was seeking death. The system could hide her aura, and she could also exchange this kind of weapon to save her life at a critical moment, but they couldn't. Moreover, even if she gave them the talisman to use spiritual power, it would be limited. "Needless to say, we are one. I'll go, you two must find something to do outside tomorrow, and more importantly, find a house to rent. We're too conspicuous staying in an inn every day."

Xie Qijun looked at Lin Xian'er with dissatisfaction. Having been with her for so long, he understood her character to some extent. He did not refute her because he had his own plans.

Qi Miao felt that it was too suffocating for a grown man like him to always let a woman take the lead. Although he didn't look down on women, he still felt uncomfortable. After several arguments, he finally gave in: "Do you know how to make talismans? Do you have spiritual power? Do you have a magic weapon? Can your magic weapon save your life? Can your magic weapon be activated without spiritual power? Do you have any elixirs?"

Qi Miao was in tears. You are a talisman master, you are amazing. You have a genius brother who is a weapon refiner, you are amazing. You have a genius brother who is a pill refiner, you are amazing. It was another day when he wanted to "defect" from the sect.

After Xie Qijun and Qi Miao left, Lin Xian'er rested for a while, then slipped away and came to the wall of the imperial palace according to the instructions of the system.

[Host, there are many masters in the palace, especially one who is at the peak of the Mahayana stage. Be extremely careful. If you leak even the slightest bit of your aura, they will be able to lock onto you.]

Is this fucking way to keep people alive? This world was damaged by the last immortal-demon war, and many resources have been depleted. It's extremely difficult to advance beyond the Spiritualization Stage. Many powerful figures in the immortal, demon, and ghost realms are stuck in the Mahayana Stage.

Lin Xian'er, a mere Nascent Soul Stage girl, never expected to encounter such a peak. Shouldn't she applaud at this moment?

Lin Xian'er was just about to ask the system to add another layer of protection when she heard its voice again, "Host, the male protagonist Xie Qijun is not far behind you, heading this way. Someone in the palace has already captured him."

Damn it, does this treacherous master's apprentice want to kill her? Lin Xian'er complained speechlessly, but still rushed to the back, pulled Xie Qijun away and hid before the other party took any action.

After the system informed her that the search was no longer in sight, Lin Xian'er said to Xie Qijun unhappily, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to wait at the inn? If it weren't for your master, you would have been dead just now."

Xie Qijun looked at Lin Xian'er aggrievedly, without saying a word, staring at her stubbornly.

Lin Xian'er's scalp tingled when Xie Qijun looked at her. This male protagonist was crazy. Could it be that he wanted to go in with her, then deliberately expose himself and die with her?

However, Lin Xian'er did not hesitate for too long. She asked the system to block the breath of the two people, and asked Xie Qijun to hold her hand tightly and be careful. At the same time, she made up her mind deep in her heart that if Xie Qijun had any abnormal behavior, she would just abandon him and leave. She would never let her hard-earned new life go to waste here.

Lin Xian'er and the other person walked in slowly. It was very quiet along the way, completely unlike what a palace should be like. After a while, they arrived in front of a palace.

A group of palace maids and eunuchs were crying in front of them, trying to keep each other warm. Lin Xian'er and the other person hid in the shadows and did not move.

[Tongzi, is that palace where the eldest prince is? It feels so eerie. What are these people doing?] Lin Xian'er had a bad feeling in her heart, but she hypnotized herself countless times, not to force herself to stand out, because she only had one life.

[Host, I can't find it. There are too few descriptions of the ghost world.]

Okay, Lin Xian'er didn't make things difficult for the system. After all, this novel mainly described the emotional entanglement between the male and female protagonists.

Xie Qijun followed Lin Xian'er obediently along the way, his eyes fixed on their clasped hands. He knew that Lin Xian'er held his hand to conceal his presence. He didn't reject Lin Xian'er's touch; instead, he felt a surge of joy in his heart. He hadn't understood why for so long, but he knew he was truly mad.

Soon, a group of soldiers arrived in front of the palace, each with a murderous look on their face. Soon, these soldiers, weapons in hand, killed the palace maids and eunuchs in front of them, cruelly draining their blood, letting it flow into the ground.

Lin Xian'er had never seen such a cruel scene and almost screamed out. Xie Qijun quickly covered her mouth and hugged her.

Lin Xian'er thought it was over and was just about to slap Xie Qijun to ask him to let her go, but the next second another group of palace maids and eunuchs came over and were killed and bled again. She didn't know how long it lasted. Lin Xian'er was trembling all over and was extremely scared.

Feeling Lin Xian'er's fear, Xie Qijun had no choice but to hug her tightly and comfort her in a low voice, telling her not to be afraid, that he would always be by her side and would always protect her.

Finally, just before she fainted, Lin Xian'er asked the system to move them both back to the inn.

Qi Miao had been waiting for the two of them in the inn. He knew Xie Qijun had followed them. Suddenly, Xie Qijun appeared holding the unconscious Lin Xianer. He hurried over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'll tell you later," Xie Qijun gently put Lin Xian'er on the bed, took Qi Miao away, and told him what he had just seen. This matter was more complicated than they had imagined.

Qi Miao's face was filled with seriousness. This situation was beyond his ability. The people of Tianji Sect were good at fortune-telling, but once he got involved, he would no longer be able to do so, not to mention that he was unable to use his spiritual power normally. Qi Miao returned to his room and kept thinking about what to do next. He also wanted to try to contact other junior brothers and sisters of Tianji Sect to spread the news.

Xie Qijun was worried about Lin Xian'er, so he returned to her room. As expected, when he entered, he saw Lin Xian'er struggling, shouting, and feeling uneasy in her coma on the bed.

Heart ached, Xie Qijun stepped forward and hugged Lin Xian'er. He might not have figured it out just now, but at this moment, he knew exactly what he was feeling. He felt sorry for her. When a man feels sorry for a woman, it means he likes her, it means he loves her.

Lin Xian'er, please never betray me, or I will really go crazy.

Xie Qijun harbors memories of his past life, paranoid and dark. But he refuses to retrace his steps. No matter how high he reached, loneliness and despair have always been his constant companions. Lin Xian'er's rescue and care are a warmth he's never felt before, and he doesn't want to lose her; he wants to keep her all to himself.

At this time, the sleeping Lin Xian'er was trapped in a dream. In the dream, she was one of the palace maids to be killed. Despair and sadness filled her whole body. She watched her blood leaving her. She wanted to struggle, she wanted to get rid of it, but she was so powerless and helpless.

The recurring dreams tortured Lin Xian'er physically and mentally.
