Chapter 235 - Wandering Ghoul
If Xie Qiao was not behaving strangely, the overseer would not make an effort to tell Teacher Xiao about it.
It was just that he did not expect the Crown Prince to come here himself.
Zhao Xuanjing frowned, "Don"t tell anyone about this."
The overseer was surprised, "Alright."
"You may return, senior brother. I admire her eldest brother, it"d be terrible if I don"t take care of her. I"ll bring along my imperial bodyguards to check it out," Zhao Xuanjing looked serious. n.o.body could tell what was wrong on his face.
"She"s a student of the academy after all. I can"t ignore that. Also, you knew that senior sister and the Xie family…"
"That"s right. This young lady is senior sister"s relative. I"ll have to look into it. There"s something wrong with the song that you wrote. Go back and give it a good thought. My Father will be using it in a few days. If it"s not good enough, I can"t help you if Father blames you," Zhao Xuanjing left Xiao Yurong alone and walked away directly.
Xiao Yurong tried to speak.
Zhao Xuanjing said his song was good earlier…
What exactly went wrong? Xiao Yurong frowned and began to think to himself.
Zhao Xuanjing brought his imperial bodyguards along and entered that courtyard.
There was almost n.o.body at the academy today. He was not worried that the news would spread.
Zhao Xuanjing saw Xie Qiao sitting in the courtyard in a carefree manner. There was a big table before her with…over ten snacks on it, as well as some dishes the academy usually served.
Xie Qiao held a pig"s trotter in her hand while pouring herself a gla.s.s of wine. She had grease all over her mouth.
Zhao Xuanjing frowned at the scene.
That did not look like her.
Xie Qiao…was careful with her behavior.
Even when she was digging dead bodies in the forest in the middle of the night, she was elegant with her moves, and she always wore a pretty smile.
Now she looked like a…crude man.
"Brother, come join me?" "Xie Qiao" spoke.
Zhao Xuanjing"s eyelids twitched, "Brother?"
"I"m just upset that n.o.body would drink with me. It"s boring to drink alone. Come here, drink with me. Just one gla.s.s will do. I don"t have much time left, come quickly," "Xie Qiao" sounded like she was in a rush.
Zhao Xuanjing took his seat casually with light sparkling in his eyes, "Do you…not remember who I am?"
If he remembered, he should not have said that.
"Who are you?" Xie Qiao frowned, "Must I know who you are to drink with you? You talk too much, drink if you want to, or leave!"
She drank another gla.s.s after speaking.
Zhao Xuanjing became cold now. Apart from Zhou Weizong, the rest of the imperial bodyguards were guarding outside.
He looked at the person before him with a cold face, "You"re not Xie Qiao. Who are you?!"
The male ghoul jolted, "So you know her… You should"ve told me that… I… Burp!"
His soul shook from that burp and left the body accidentally. The female ghoul came in within the blink of an eye. Suddenly, she was looking at Zhao Xuanjing in a shy and coquettish manner.
"Sir, should I pour you wine?" Xie Qiao smiled lightly.
Zhou Weizong was stunned to have seen that. He froze as he stared at Xie Qiao.
W-Why was Half-immortal Xie behaving like a shy little girl?!
No, that was not a little girl. She looked like one of those loose courtesans…
Zhao Xuanjing watched Xie Qiao, who was before him, pouring wine into the gla.s.s in front of him. After she put down the wine jar, the pair of fair hands glided on his. His body stiffened, he looked even more intimidating now.
"You"re not Xie Qiao either," his voice was cold.
The beautiful ghoul fetched a handkerchief from her embrace and squeezed it, "Oh, what are you talking about, sir…"
"A wandering ghoul?" Zhao Xuanjing scoffed and took out a talisman that he purchased from Xie Qiao"s shop earlier. He said in a testing manner, "I wonder if you can still joke around with me after I pasted this thing on you?"
The beautiful ghoul"s face stiffened.
Naturally, it would be terrible. She would definitely be forced out of the body right away. However, the other ghouls could possess the body. It was just that it was finally her turn to possess the body…
