Following Lu Xiaofeng's questioning, Gu Anning confirmed that this mission went back two months ago, when Lu Xiaofeng had just arrived at the Ghost Villa.

Ghosts have no concept of time, and they don't like intrigue among humans, and they speak more often by their strength.

Although Painted Skin Ghost is obsessed with painting and cannot extricate himself, its own ability is not weak.Gu Anning did not discover the conspiracy mentioned by Lu Xiaofeng from Painted Skin Ghost's memory, but everything was very simple.

Gu Anning explained the basic situation to Lu Xiaofeng, and after he finished speaking, the freshly applied paint on the painting had already dried, so Gu Anning picked up the brush and painted the edges carefully.

In the painting, the silky red silk on Lu Xiaofeng's body seems to be flowing out, and his eyes have also been modified, with beautiful eye shadows and a faint haze after drunkenness.The face of the person in the painting is pink, but the lips are extremely pale, just like Lu Xiaofeng himself with a sleepy expression in front of him.

Gu Anning didn't remove his mustache, but painted it carefully, even more carefully than when painting his eyebrows.

"Brother Ye...the painting skills are really superb." It took Lu Xiaofeng a while to look directly at his words, and he pretended to praise sincerely, as if he was really happy for the portrait that Gu Anning drew for himself.

Gu Anning didn't hear his perfunctory at all, so she smiled proudly, "It's natural."

Lu Xiaofeng looked around, "Is this where Brother Ye lives?"

"Let's say so." Ye Guhong, as a man, even if he contributes to the ghost villa, he will not be restrained in the villa by his father's best friend on the surface.He doesn't come back to the villa often, and there is no permanent residence for him in the ghost villa.

In fact, in the ghost villa, population loss and replenishment are the norm.The old knife handle will never be soft on those who have different intentions, and will not let useless people live here.

After the painting was completed, Gu Anning stood up and focused on the person he had rescued.

He looked at the other party, "What are you going to do next?"

Lu Xiaofeng stared at him blankly, then smiled wryly after a while, "I don't know who has the final say here? Brother Ye will save people to the end, please recommend him."

Gu Anning knew that Lu Xiaofeng entered the Ghost Villa with other thoughts in mind, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't know that the "Ye Guhong" in front of him actually came from two months later.The situation in the villa was inexplicable, even if he had the grace of saving his life, he was just a stranger who had just met.

There are many rules in the ghost villa, Lu Xiaofeng feels like walking on thin ice when he first arrives, and he will not open his heart casually.

Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng was unwilling to speak, Gu Anning stopped thinking.

He stopped talking, and Lu Xiaofeng didn't open his mouth either.The two had different thoughts, and the beautiful Ertu who was guarding the table remained silent.

Gu Anning was waiting for the paint on it to dry.

Even the special rice paper made by a special method is as thin as ordinary paper.It has been painted several times with the paint mixed with clear water, and the painted part becomes very thin, and it can be damaged by a slightly larger movement.

Gu Anning looked at the portrait for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

"How does the person in the painting compare to my current appearance?" He couldn't help asking.

Gu Anning's questioning method was very strange.

What is "the current appearance"?

Lu Xiaofeng reacted quickly, "Brother Ye can be called a dragon and a phoenix, clear and indifferent. The person in the painting..."

He really couldn't say words like "charming and bewitching", so he changed the term and skipped it lightly, "The colors in the painting are bright and vivid, and the people are lifelike. If you want to talk about it, each has its own strengths , it is really hard to distinguish between equals."

Lu Xiaofeng could tell that the other party cared a lot about his paintings, Lu Xiaofeng could not say that his paintings were ugly, nor could he say that he was ugly, he could only boast on both sides.

Gu An Ning was very helpful. When the painting was almost dry, he gently picked up the rice paper, rolled it into a small paper tube and held it in his hand, as if he was going to leave.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't intend to stop him, but before he left, the door was opened from the outside.

A pure-looking girl in a long white dress opened the door and came in. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Gu Anning, and then she said pleasantly, "Brother is here too!"

Gu Anning reacted for a while before realizing that "big brother" was referring to herself.

Painted Skin Ghost knew the people in the villa very well, so Gu Anning naturally knew that the woman in front of him was Ye Guhong's younger sister, Ye Ling's older sister whom he had pushed under the bed - the Ye Xue who almost became his sister-in-law.

Gu Anning nodded to her, and said coldly, "What's the matter?"

Ye Xue was not surprised by this, she seemed to have gotten used to her brother's indifference, "The widow said that you brought back a wounded man, so I'll come over and see if there's anything I can do to help. I still have some injuries here Medicine, if you need it, brother, just come to me."

Gu Anning felt that she seemed to be lying, but couldn't think of the reason.

He didn't intend to get involved in Lu Xiaofeng's affairs, so he stopped caring about Ye Xue, picked up the sword on the table, and said coldly, "You can do whatever you want, what does it have to do with me?"

After speaking, he left the room and disappeared immediately.

Lu Xiaofeng and Ye Xue stared with big eyes.

Lu Xiaofeng opened his mouth first, "Brother Ling seems to have something extraordinary..."

Ye Xue didn't realize that her elder brother got carried away painting all day, she nodded tenderly, "Brother admires the sword god Ximen Fuxue very much, and has always pursued the ultimate swordsmanship with him as his goal."

Because of his father's "died early", the three brothers and sisters were raised by the enemy's family, and the relationship between the three was not good. Ye Xue didn't care about revealing his brother's information.

She has been trapped in the ghost villa for too long, and any newcomer who comes in will attract attention.What's more, a handsome and young man with great reputation?

After hearing her words, Lu Xiaofeng nodded his head, covering up his deeper puzzlement, "Brother Ling's drawing skills are very superb, I never thought that besides learning the sword technique, I can have such drawing skills, Lu Xiaofeng really admire."

"Painting skills?" Ye Xue asked softly, "I don't know when my brother started to learn painting?"

It is normal for a person who admires Ximen Chuuxue to wear white clothes like Ximen Chuuxue, practice swords, and learn from him to be as silent as gold, but why would he draw such a picture with so much concentration?

Lu Xiaofeng had a guess in his mind.

That "Ye Guhong" was most likely pretended to be.

It's just that no matter what, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't figure out why he wanted to paint at this time.

Is it really because of love?

……

Gu Anning came out of the room and returned to "Ayun"'s residence.

Ye Ling had already woken up, unable to move under the bondage of the soul under the bed, until Gu Anning pulled her out, the young girl squinted her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

Ye Guhong's face really made her feel kind.

She burst into tears, trembling, and shouted aggrievedly, "Brother! You finally came to save me! I'm so scared... Brother, please help me untie the rope, my body is unconscious... Woo, you have to help me I'm the master! It's all done by Ayun, Ayun has deceived everyone, he is not a woman at all, and he has ulterior motives to infiltrate the Ghost Villa!"

Ye Ling finished talking about the crimes of "Ayun" in one breath, and found that the elder brother in front of him was holding a sword, and he looked at her with a half smile, and was a little flustered.

"I'm your own sister, don't you believe me? Help me untie the rope!"

Gu Anning squatted down holding the sword, stretched out her fingers and wiped away the tears on her face, "Look for yourself, where is the rope?"

The familiar fear engulfed Ye Ling again. She already realized that something was wrong with "Ye Guhong", but she didn't dare to think about it.

She turned her head slowly and looked at her limbs. Sure enough, there were no ropes binding her, but she couldn't move, and she didn't even have any sense of touch.

Ye Ling forced a smile, "I beg you, let me go, I really know I was wrong..."

Gu Anning lifted her onto the chair, leaning against the table with difficulty to maintain her balance.

He looked Ye Ling up and down, as if looking at some worthless goods.

After a long time, I came to a conclusion, "This painting is better."

Ye Ling watched him spread out the painting in his hand. She was facing Gu Anning, unable to see the person on the painting, only a vague outline.

Then Ye Ling saw that Gu Anning was torn from the top of his head, his hair and body were torn in half, and his facial features also fell off. The clothes of "Ye Guhong" were all connected with the sword in his hand, like a piece of thin white paper, slowly fading off.

Ye Ling opened his eyes wide, not even daring to breathe for a while.

Ye Guhong in front of him only had a snow-white skeleton, without a trace of flesh, veins or blood.

The bone stretched its arms and unfolded the painting just now. It didn't care that there was another human being here, as if it had just shed its skin and put on a new skin.

Xin Pi is a man with a pale complexion and a sinister appearance, with two neatly trimmed mustaches on his lips.

He was dressed in a red veil and stood barefoot on the ground. Every bone and flesh on his body was well-proportioned, slender but full of strength, which did not match his pale face.

He held an exquisite and small silver wine glass in his hand, and there seemed to be endless wine in the glass.

The beautiful man approached Ye Ling, smiled, and looked at her with hazy eyes full of charm in confusion, "Does it look good?"

No matter how stupid Ye Ling is, he still understands that the thing in front of him is not human at all!

Ye Ling swallowed, and nodded in horror.

"If that's the case, I won't draw you for now." Gu Anning said.

Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, but he still didn't feel relieved.

Boldly, she stammered and asked, "Ye Guhong...he, the skin you used just now...that man, how is he?"

"He..." Painted Skin Ghost saw the fear and guilt in Ye Ling's heart. He never killed people, but he didn't mind finding a human to amuse him.He dragged his tone, and pointed to the skin in the painting with a smile, "Here, isn't he right here?"

Ye Ling gasped, covered his mouth with his hands, and didn't let himself yell out, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Gu Anning sat on the side, propped his arms lazily, "Tell me, how should I deal with you, a liar who likes to lie?"

Ye Ling cried loudly, "Please forgive me! I know I was wrong, I shouldn't speak ill of you in front of the old swordsman, for my young age, please forgive me this time!"
