Chapter Nineteen.
Xu Zhitian was mostly awake from the alcoholic drinks after his slight hesitation. He felt the palms on his chest felt ashamed and angry, but he didn't dare to get angry. He secretly cursed that drinking was causing trouble, pretending to be drunk and ignorant.
"What the hell!"
Even Li Xianyuan couldn't help but curse secretly.
There was already Ji Canghai, a man disguised as a woman, and now Xu Zhitian, a woman disguised as a man. Is it so difficult to find a normal girl!?
Just as I was thinking about this, a white shadow flashed before my eyes for no apparent reason.
Yes, I almost forgot that there is a ghost.
Li Xianyuan noticed that Xu Zhitian's breathing had become rapid, and he knew in his heart that she was pretending to sleep. He moved his hands to put her on his back and whispered softly on purpose.
"The Xu family is nothing more than that. The noble young master actually carries a steamed bun in his arms."
Xu Zhitian gritted his teeth secretly, wishing he could open his mouth to kill this guy who spoke ill of the Xu family.
After all, she was a woman and weighed very little. Li Xianyuan was only slightly out of breath after carrying her for half a stick of incense in the empty streets before arriving at the front door of the Xu family.
He went forward and knocked on the door. Not long after, a servant opened the door with a lantern.
"Excuse me... the second young master! Please come in quickly." The servant breathed out and said, and when he saw the person coming, he lost most of his sleep, and hurriedly opened the door to let the two of them in.
"Master, please wait a moment. I'll go call the master." The servant said hurriedly, leaving the lantern behind and ran back to the house.
Li Xianyuan nodded and looked around. Under the moonlight, the objects in the front yard were covered with silver gauze, and the courtyard with gurgling rockery and flowing water looked luxurious.
Li Xianyuan didn't wait too long, several maids came running over, carefully put Li Xianyuan on Xu Zhitian's back, and helped him away.
"Thank you so much, young master." A middle-aged man walked over with the support of his servants, wearing a fleece sweater.
He seemed to have a disease in his legs and needed help from his servants to walk. He said with a serious smile: "The dog is greedy for wine, so I trouble Mr. Li to send him here. It's just that it's getting late, so I won't keep you here."
He called out Li Xianyuan's name, obviously knowing this person who had been in the limelight in recent days. However, his attitude towards him was not friendly.
The intention of seeing off guests was so obvious. Li Xianyuan handed over his hand and turned to leave without saying a word. He is not a person who puts a hot face on a cold butt.
"Go and give Zhitian a cup of sobering tea, and the others can go back and rest."
…
Back in the inn room, Ji Canghai was already asleep on the table. Li Xianyuan called out several times, but he fell into a deep sleep, with a trace of translucent liquid still flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Li Xianyuan picked up Ji Canghai, and his frail and boneless body and body fragrance rushed into his nose, which made people feel swayed. Li Xianyuan carried him to the bed, took off his shoes, and revealed his delicate and delicate feet.
She didn't give up until she covered him with a quilt. Ji Canghai still didn't wake up after all this tossing.
Ji Canghai's ink-flowered Taoist robe is also extraordinary. Now there are no wrinkles at all, and it is as smooth as new.
Speaking of which, Ji Canghai's Taoist robe is somewhat similar to the girl on the coffin that day...
Suddenly, the window was knocked open without warning, strong wind rushed in from the outside, and the books on the table turned rapidly with a roaring sound.
Li Xianyuan hurriedly came to the window and closed the two windows despite the strong wind.
Bang——
The wind could not come in. Li Xianyuan's pupils suddenly shrank and he turned around suddenly.
I saw a shadowy figure sitting on the seat, with two pairs of breasts overlapping each other, and bare jade feet. The appearance was exquisite, but there was no trace of blood.
For some reason, Li Xianyuan couldn't see her face clearly. It was the same when they first met, as if there was mist.
The second girl of the Li family.
"You have been with me for so long and you are willing to show up?" Li Xianyuan said calmly without fear. He glanced at Ji Canghai on the bed. With such a big movement, he still slept like a dead pig.
"Do you know I'm following you?" Li Waner followed Li Xianyuan's gaze and looked at the figure on the bed, with a hint of amusement on her lips.
"I didn't know before, but now I know." Li Xianyuan's eyes were as quiet as an ancient pool, staring at Li Waner: "Second Miss, why did you visit late at night?"
"Of course it's for the wedding." Li Waner swayed on her two jade feet and looked around the room.
"The second lady is joking. I'm already engaged."
Li Waner chuckled: "He is a man."
Li Xianyuan shook his head: "This is not a problem..."
"His job is bigger than yours." Li Waner kept saying nothing.
"That's enough!" Li Xianyuan interrupted Li Waner. If she were to continue speaking, it would be difficult for her to look directly at Ji Canghai again.
"Okay, let's not play anymore. I'm just wandering around. You should accompany your little lady." Li Waner put her hands on her hands, jumped off the table, and floated quietly to Li Xianyuan. "By the way, I was in front of you before.
I'm lying to you, I haven't seen his body. At least I know the basics of women's ways. Then I'll rest first, husband~"
The next moment, Li Waner disappeared out of thin air. If it weren't for Li Xianyuan's hair that was blown by the wind and scattered in front of his forehead, the previous scene would have been an illusion.
She came suddenly and left suddenly.
…
Cluck-cluck-
The next morning, the cockcrow woke Li Xianyuan. When he opened his eyes, everything in the room was as usual, except that Ji Canghai was missing.
The bedding on the bed was messy, and Ji Canghai could not be seen.
There was still an hour before he left to report to the academy. Li Xianyuan calmly picked up a willow branch from the basin and dipped it in green salt to wash his teeth.
After washing and tidying up, he walked to the door to go downstairs for dinner.
"Hey, you don't even care about me!" Ji Canghai jumped out of nowhere and stood in front of Li Xianyuan.
"Why do I care about you?" Li Xianyuan was puzzled.
Ji Canghai said angrily: "I disappeared suddenly, shouldn't you be anxious to look for me everywhere!"
Li Xianyuan thought for a moment and said, "But you're not here?"
"That's right..." Ji Canghai tilted his head and thought for a while, then jumped and held Li Xianyuan's arm: "I want to go too."
The academy is in the north of Wuhou City, and it takes at least one stick of incense to get there. However, there is a carriage from the academy to pick up and drop off. When Li Xianyuan and others went downstairs, the carriage had been waiting here for a long time.
I opened the curtain and got into the car, but unexpectedly there was another person sitting inside.
Xu Zhitian.
"Sober up?" Li Xianyuan's casual politeness turned out to be humiliating in Xu Zhitian's ears. She was shocked and wondered, could he have known about it? Her expression was gloomy and she remained silent.
At this moment, Ji Canghai suddenly expressed some embarrassment: "It might be inappropriate for me to go. I'll wait for you to come back at the inn."
Li Xianyuan thought it was because of Xu Zhitian, so he grabbed Ji Canghai who was about to get out of the car.
Just as the coachman outside cracked his whip, the carriage slowly began to move amid the sound of horse hooves.
Li Xianyuan was so tough, Ji Canghai had no choice but to look embarrassed, but felt extremely happy and sat down next to Li Xianyuan.
The carriage was originally quite spacious, but it became cramped after seating three people. Li Xianyuan was sandwiched in the middle, with Ji Canghai on the left who was happy and unwilling to think about Shu, and Xu Zhitian on the right who looked disgusted.
This guy... must have done it on purpose! It's not easy to squeeze me into such a big place! Xu Zhitian gritted his teeth secretly, but did not dare to say a word, and he had random suspicions in his heart.
The carriage shook, and Ji Canghai leaned her head on Li Xianyuan's shoulder, looking like she was passionately in love.
It was tea time, the carriage gradually stopped, and we had reached our destination.
Li Xianyuan got off the car and found that many children who had entered the list were waiting outside the academy door.
The plaque of the academy is printed with four characters of ancient times - Jingshen Academy
Li Xianyuan discovered that this place was very close to the county government office, and he could even see the two majestic stone lions in front of the street from a distance in front of the county government office.
When everyone arrived, the county magistrate who was standing at the door loudly said: "This is Jingshen Academy. You will teach and study here in the future. The reception of Wenquxingchen will be conducted at midnight tonight. You can enter now and take a look around. Li Xianyuan
, just follow me."
Li Xianyuan was startled when he heard this, and the other candidates looked over in confusion.
An academy teacher led other students to visit the academy, while the county magistrate took Li Xianyuan to a remote and uninhabited place.
As soon as he stopped, the county magistrate said earnestly: "Humans and ghosts are in different paths. No matter what your relationship is with her, it is against the law for the ghost to linger in the mortal world. What's more, I see that her Yin Qi is declining, and I am afraid that she will be gone soon."
Li Xianyuan was puzzled: "Xian Cheng, please speak clearly."
The county magistrate sighed: "You must recognize the girl who has been following you every day these past few days. Her true identity is a ghost."
Li Xianyuan nodded. He thought the county magistrate was talking about Li Waner, the second daughter of the Li family. He was about to say that she insisted on following and it was useless to stop her. Then the county magistrate continued: "What's your name... Ji... Ji Canghai or something like that?"
"Ji Canghai!?"
"Yes, that's the person!"
When Li Xianyuan heard this, his body was shaken violently, as if struck by lightning. His pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle and he turned his head suddenly!
Chapter completed!
