Si Lei Zhenjun

Early the next morning, inside the house, Chu Xing opened his eyes from meditation, got out of bed and pushed open the door.

As you step into the courtyard, the morning breeze blows by, bringing a hint of coolness and freshness.

Because the two beauties Hong'e also lived next door, he did not live in the same room with Wan Qiu.

As for Jiang Lihuo, he left Qiankuimen after the negotiations ended the night before yesterday.

He said that he would go back to Liyang Fairy City to summon a group of criminal law personnel to settle accounts with the disciples of Qiankui Sect for the crimes they had committed before.

Seeing that the doors of the three women's rooms were closed, Chu Xing did not disturb them and walked straight out of the mansion.

……

The Cave of Ten Thousand Corpses was empty and extremely deserted.

"Are you there, Yue'er?"

Chu Xing came to a cave with green vines climbing all over the entrance.

The stone door of the cave slowly opened, and a pretty, lively and lovely girl ran out and threw herself into his arms.

"Brother Wusheng, when did you come back?"

Ling Yue tilted her round and cute little face, her eyes as gentle as water, as if she wanted to melt Chu Xing completely into them.

Chu Xing rubbed her little head and said, "I came back early the day before yesterday."

"Hmph," Ling Yue snorted and pouted, "Then why did brother come to see Yue'er only now?"

Chu Xing couldn't help but smile, "Of course there's a reason for that. I came back with Master and the others this time, but as soon as we entered the mountain gate, we were caught by the Palace Master..."

As he spoke, Chu Xing briefly told her what happened the day before yesterday, "Now the Qiangui Sect has become a righteous sect."

"Really?" Ling Yue's eyes were full of surprise.

"Yes," Chu Xing nodded, "I'm here to take you to the White Bone Palace. From now on, there will be no more distinctions between different bloodlines within the Thousand Puppet Sect, and you don't have to worry about being ostracized because of your status as a disciple of the Ten Thousand Corpse Cave."

"Then...is there any empty house next to where my brother lives?" Ling Yue blinked her charming eyes.

Chu Xing's heart immediately skipped a beat.

If I let her move next door, wouldn't I be living in fear every day from now on?!

Thinking of this, Chu Xing's brain started to work at high speed, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.

Chu Xing took her hand and said, "Of course there are. Even if there aren't, as long as Yue'er wants to move in, I can make room for them. It's just..."

At this point, he looked a little embarrassed.

"Brother, are you in trouble?" Ling Yue was very understanding.

Chu Xing said with a face full of shame:

"To be honest, the reason I was able to achieve such a high status in the White Bone Palace is because of my outstanding appearance. That's why the White Bone Demon Princess treats me differently."

He paused slightly, with a hint of helplessness and embarrassment in his tone, and continued:

"She...she even wanted to take me as her lover, but I declined. However, from what I know about her, she has always been very possessive. If she can't have it, she will never let anyone else get their hands on it."

As he spoke, a sense of shame arose in his heart.

"So Yue'er, in order to prevent her from doing anything bad to you, I think from now on, we should try to keep a low profile."

Seeing that he looked a little lonely, Ling Yue gently patted the back of his hand and comforted him softly:

"It's okay, brother. It's not your fault. We just need to be more careful next time."

Chu Xing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gently:

"Well, pack your things first. I still need to go look for your brother."

Ling Yue nodded obediently and turned back to the cave to pack her things.

……

Half an hour later, Chu Xing brought Ling Feng and his sister to a large house.

Although he is the young master of Qiangui Sect, he knows very few people in the sect, and even fewer people of status.

He decided to temporarily forgive the old thief Shi Liao and ask him to help arrange a better place for the brother and sister to live.

Chu Xing went forward and knocked on the door. Soon an old servant opened the door and came out, smiling and saying:

"Are you here to see our young master? What a coincidence, he is not at home today."

Chu Xing had visited Shi Feifan twice before, and the old servant obviously remembered him.

"No, I'm looking for the Fourth Elder. Is he here?" Chu Xing waved his hand.

The old servant hesitated and said:

"This... the Fourth Elder has gathered a group of people to work in the courtyard, and has instructed us servants not to disturb them."

"You recognize this person, right?" Chu Xing took out the White Bone Order, "Please take us directly to find him."

"Please come with me!"

The old servant's expression changed slightly, and he bowed and led the way.

After a while, the old servant led Chu Xing and the other two to a spacious courtyard.

At this time, there were about twenty people scattered in the yard, including men, women, young and old. They were either squatting or sitting, their hands moving delicately and attentively, and in front of them each was a human-shaped puppet that was almost completed.

Shi Liao saw someone entering the yard and looked at them with a frown.

When he found out that the person coming was Chu Xing, he immediately put down the carving knife in his hand and walked over with a smile:

"Haha, Wusheng boy, I was just about to go look for you."

"What do you want from me?" Chu Xing looked at him suspiciously.

Shi Liao pointed behind him and said, "The leader asked me to find some skilled people to make a batch of realistic puppets. He also asked me to let you take a look after they are finished and see if there are any areas that need improvement."

Chu Xing nodded in understanding and glanced at the humanoid puppets in the yard.

The handsome face, deep eyes, slightly upturned mouth corners, every detail looks lifelike.

Hmm...it looks a little familiar.

Wait, isn't that me?!

Chu Xing's face immediately darkened and he said angrily:

"No, just do it if you want. Why use me as a prototype?"

"Hey, Wusheng, don't be angry yet," Shi Liao patted his shoulder. "These puppets will eventually be presented to the leader. I have to choose someone she's familiar with, right? Otherwise, how can she tell if they look like the real thing? After much thought, you're the most suitable person."

Chu Xing realized something was wrong. "I haven't even come yet, and you've already finished it. You even secretly hid my portrait?"

"Hey! Why do we need a portrait?" Shi Liao took out a photo stone. "Wouldn't it be more realistic to just look at the image?"

Chu Xing snatched the photo stone from his hand and found that it contained a short video of himself flying in the air with a sword during the day.

"Why are you secretly filming me, old man?"

Chu Xing stared at him warily and took a small step back.

He was very sure that the video was shot before he and Cui'er talked about the simulated puppet.

Because the sword in the image was the Jueyun Ancient Sword, and he had just returned to Qiankui Sect the day before yesterday, he did not fly the sword today or the day before yesterday, and he did not leave Cui'er until after nightfall yesterday.

"How could I have the leisure to secretly photograph you?" Shi Liao glared at him and said unhappily:

"When the news spread yesterday that you were going to become the Young Master, the disciples in the sect were afraid of offending you in the future, so they went around asking people about your appearance.

Several disciples saw a business opportunity in this and used the photo stones to secretly film your image and then offered it to others for a fee. I bought this photo stone from them."

Chu Xing: “???”
