Chapter 234 - What Nonsense Is This
The old ghoul felt like he was flying. He got the horse to run fast. It was liberating!
Unfortunately, before the horse had run for one round, the old ghoul suddenly felt rather strengthless. He was losing his breath.
He realized that this girl"s body was very weak!
"You"re a priest, and you can"t even run for a round?! Your body is weaker than mine, an old man!" The old ghoul felt sorry.
"Hey, are you done? Isn"t it my turn now?" The bunch of ghouls were queuing aside. They were impatient.
They agreed that each ghoul would possess the body for an hour.
"Did time pa.s.s so fast?" The old ghoul shook his head and sighed, "Time has been cruel to me. But being able to breathe after so many years, this feels…"
Indescribable.
It was good to be alive!
At that moment, Xiao Yurong was playing chess with Zhao Xuanjing. The criminal division only worked for half a day today. There was nothing to do, so the two men could only stare at each other.
"Sir, there"s a student who came to the academy and went to the stables. She seemed unstable. Do you want to take a look?" The overseer came over to tell him himself.
Xie Niushan was a difficult man. If something happened to Young Lady Xie at the academy, it would be troublesome if Xie Niushan got furious and go to the dean.
"When did senior brother become a nanny?" Zhao Xuanjing teased and smiled as he said.
Teacher Xiao was considered caring to his students. He said when he heard that, "Which courtyard is this student from?"
"It"s the sister of that Xie Pinghuai who couldn"t stop asking you to make him your disciple, Xie Qiao, Young Lady Xie. I heard that she"s weak, but she was riding a horse, and the horse was running fast. I"m worried that something bad might happen, so…"
Zhao Xuanjing had gotten up and left before the overseer was done speaking.
He frowned when he realized that Xiao Yurong did not catch up to him when he arrived at the door, "Xie Qiao"s eldest brother is Xie Pinggang, right? He"s doing a great job at the criminal division. If something happened to his sister, he would be distracted with his job as her brother. Why aren"t you coming with me, senior brother?"
Teacher Xiao was dumbstruck.
The Xie family?
His senior sister was close with people from the Xie family.
He got up immediately.
When the duo arrived at the stables, they saw Xie Qiao sitting on the ground while crossing her legs.
The overseer was worried that something might happen to her, so he got someone to watch her before he left. However, that person had become "Xie Qiao""s steward now.
"Young Lady Xie, the wine is here," the person said.
"Xie Qiao" sighed, "The courtyard that I rented earlier has nice dishes, but I can"t be wasting time now. Maybe I should go over while drinking. I might eat some of the food when I get there."
She opened the wine jar as she spoke and took two sips in a gulp. She got up quickly and walked back with flushed cheeks.
Xiao Yurong"s eyelids twitched, "What nonsense is this!"
It was not that one could not drink wine, but Xie Qiao was a lady. She seemed a little loose indeed!
As Xiao Yurong flung his sleeve, Xie Qiao sorted her sleeves and lifted her head to take a few sips again. The crystal-like wine dripped from her chin to her neck, it had stained her clothes.
She saw Zhao Xuanjing and Xiao Yurong after taking two steps.
"Ha," she scoffed, "Good wine, good wine!"
Xiao Yurong was speechless.
Zhao Xuanjing was speechless too.
"See, I wonder if Young Lady Xie is going through something…" the overseer was helpless, "I heard that she"s weak. She was riding a horse, and now she"s drinking wine. I wonder if her body…"
Zhao Xuanjing frowned, "She rented a courtyard?"
"That"s right. The courtyard costs a hundred silver beans per day…" The overseer thought the young lady was out of her mind, "She even ordered many dishes and said that the dishes would have to be served every two hours."
