Please give me a chance to be a straight man

Shen Xu's eyes widened when he heard the words, brother, are you joking?This is not fun!

However, Shen Xu also understood that Jiang Xun never joked.

So Shen Xu curled up on the chair like a deflated ball.Seeing him getting angry like this, Ye Chen couldn't get angry.If it wasn't for the restricted movement, he really wanted to take Shen Xu's mind apart to see what he was thinking.

Seeing that Shen Xu and Ye Chen seemed to have calmed down, Jiang Xun accepted the formula.

After the two regained their mobility, they did not fight again, but the atmosphere was still very bad.

As if Jiang Xun hadn't seen it, he took out a pack of pine nut candies from his cuff and handed it to Shen Xu.When Shen Xu saw the package, he knew it was from Guixiangfang, so he quickly took it over, and started to eat without saying a word.Shen Xuzheng was eating with gusto, when he suddenly realized that he was eating and taking things, and it was always unreasonable not to repay Jiang Xun with something, but if he asked him to promise something with his body, he could do it. less than.

Shen Xu was struggling, when he saw a gorgeously dressed young man under the restaurant looking around for someone.When he found Shen Xu and the others, he shouted excitedly, "Qing'er! Qing'er!"

When Ye Chen saw it, he immediately became annoyed, "Who released that idiot, Super Chen!" After speaking, he immediately went downstairs and brought Super Chen up.

When Super Chen saw someone getting rough with him and was about to yell loudly, when he saw that it was Ye Chen, he became honest immediately, and obediently followed him upstairs.

Shen Xu couldn't help being amazed watching this scene, so he touched Jiang Xun's elbow and asked what was going on.Jiang Xun briefly explained Chao Chen's situation.

Shen Xu nodded, "I see. He is a poor man."

Ye Chen carried Chao Chen to the position next to him.When Super Chen saw a stranger there, he quickly saluted respectfully. "Chen Chao of the Worry-Free Sect, I have met fellow Taoists."

Shen Xu has no sect to report now, so he had to report his name.When Chao Chen heard it, he smiled slightly, "So it's Fellow Daoist Shen. I've often heard Qing'er mentioning you recently. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet you today."

Shen Xu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Oh? Then what did your Qing'er say about me?"

Chen Chao tilted his head and thought for a while, and then said, "What are you talking about, Shen Xu is a heartless thing. He disappeared all of a sudden, and there is no one alive or dead. If he is not dead, he does not know what to do News, the brother who killed him is looking for him everywhere."

After Chen Chao finished speaking, Ye Chen unceremoniously punched him twice, "What are you talking about!"

Shen Xu listened to what Chen Chao said, and originally wanted to argue with Ye Chen.But after hearing the last sentence, he dismissed the idea.Then he involuntarily glanced at Jiang Xun.

Feeling his gaze, Jiang Xun turned to look at Shen Xu, "What's wrong?"

Shen Xu smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing."

Then Shen Xu looked at Chen Chao, seeing that his speech and behavior were normal, he thought it was because he was afraid of being chased and killed by the murderer, so he kept pretending to be stupid to keep Jiang Xun and the others.

Until the ghost corpse suddenly appeared.

Shen Xu watched the Venerable Ghost Corpse floating in front of them as if there was no one else around, feeling nervous and frightened.

Fortunately, Jiang Xun and the others couldn't see him, so Shen Xu calmed down.So, I chatted with Venerable Ghost Corpse with my spiritual sense.

"Senior, how is Super Chen injured?"

"If the mind is damaged, it will definitely be impossible to continue to practice. Living so stupidly, if there are no accidents, it will not be a problem."

"But I see that Chen Chao's mind is very clear, and it is not beneficial to ordinary people."

Venerable Ghost Corpse snorted coldly, and then said, "Look at that kid's neck."

Shen Xu looked at Chen Chao's neck after hearing the words, it was smooth and fair, and there was nothing unusual about it. "I didn't find anything unusual."

Venerable Ghost Corpse sighed, "Inject demon energy into your eyes, and look again."

Shen Xu did as Venerable Ghost Corpse said, and sure enough, he saw a black pattern on Chen Chao's neck. "Senior. This is?!"

"It's just the imprint left by the soul refining array. All monks whose souls are extracted for refining magic weapons or other purposes will leave this mark on their necks."

"Is there a way to eliminate it?"

Upon hearing the words, the Ghost Corpse Venerable turned his head to look at Shen Xu, "Unless Chao Chen dies, the imprint on the soul will never disappear."

Shen Xu was silent when he heard the words.

Upon seeing this, the Venerable Ghost Corpse stretched out his transparent palm and patted Shen Xu's shoulder, comforting him, "Boy, you don't have to worry about Chen Chao. Because if it's not as I expected, this kid probably won't be alive for a few days." gone."

"Senior, what do you mean? Didn't you just say that Super Chen..."

"I'm talking about if there are no accidents. But if you think about it carefully, since the ghost cultivators have wiped out the two sects, why did they release Chao Chen alone? Could it be that it is so coincidental that Chao Chen escaped by chance? Is it? Anyway, the old man doesn’t believe it.”

Shen Xu frowned when he heard the words, "Senior, what you mean is that the ghost cultivator deliberately let Chao Chen back, but there is actually another purpose?"

"At least I think so. If you observe Super Chen carefully in the next few days, maybe there are other mysteries hidden in him."

After finishing speaking, Venerable Ghost Corpse returned to the inheritance jade.

Then Shen Xu came back to his senses and hurriedly checked Jiang Xun's reaction.Seeing that they didn't notice the devilish energy he released, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After leaving Qingyi Tower, Ye Chen wanted to send Chao Chen back to the Chen Mansion, so he took a step first.

And Shen Xu and Jiang Xun had nothing to do now, so they wandered on the street.The two of them happened to pass by a stand selling sugar figurines, and Shen Xu immediately rushed over to buy two strings of sugar figurines.

After handing Jiang Xun a bunch of clean and best-looking sugar figurines, Shen Xu was about to eat when Jiang Xun suddenly said, "Why did you suddenly release the magic energy just now? But the injury recurred?"

Shen Xu was caught off guard by Jiang Xun's sudden concern, and shook his head quickly upon hearing this. "Why is that?"

Shen Xu then took out the inheritance jade.Jiang Xun naturally recognized it, and then looked at Shen Xu suspiciously. "At the beginning, my life was hanging by a thread on Cangya Mountain. Thanks to this inheritance jade, I was lucky enough to survive."

Then Shen Xu told Jiang Xun everything that happened to him during this period in detail.Jiang Xun looked down at the inherited jade in Shen Xu's hand, and said, "Is the Venerable Ghost Corpse in it?"

Shen Xu nodded, "Although the senior has only a remnant soul left, he has helped me a lot. Even the abnormality on Chen Chao was discovered by him."

Jiang Xun nodded, then took Shen Xu's hand, and wrote a few words in his palm.

Shen Xu's expression suddenly became serious, and then he clenched his palms and said to Jiang Xun, "Don't worry."

After Jiang Xun left, Venerable Ghost Corpse reappeared.

"Who is that kid just now, and why can I feel my inheritance imprint on him?"

"I signed a contract of life and death with him. It's not surprising that you feel your inheritance in him."

The Ghost Corpse Venerable was startled, "You, are you crazy to sign a life and death contract with an righteous cultivator?!"

Shen Xu was no stranger to this kind of reaction from Venerable Ghost Corpse, so he just explained it patiently.

"You mean, this man named Jiang Xun wants to become a Taoist partner with you?"

Shen Xu stretched out his index finger and shook it, "Currently he is in unrequited love."

After Shen Xu finished speaking, he heard a scream from downstairs.He hurried downstairs, and saw Xiao Er, who was still fine in the morning, turned into a stiff corpse in an instant.

The Ghost Corpse Venerable looked at Xiao Er's body and concluded, "His soul was taken away, it should be the work of the ghost cultivator."
