Chapter 172: Autumn 1 Leaf

Xiao Zhen appeared in front of Ning Caichen in one step, and did not forget to shout to the people in the villa behind.

"It's all a misunderstanding. This stupid guy is my friend. Please don't take it seriously!"

Ning Caichen had just escaped and saved his life. Now he met an acquaintance again and felt even more surprised. It seemed that God had not given up on him. So the next imperial examination... he decided not to take it. The world was too dark and he was already in despair.

Xiao Zhen looked at Ning Caichen's dirty appearance and couldn't help but teasing him, "Brother Caichen, you look so miserable. Did you just finish your sentence in jail and are now released?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Caichen couldn't help but shed two lines of tears. He had really just come out of the cell, but he was not released after serving his sentence. Instead, he successfully escaped from prison with the help of the mysterious old man.

After Ning Caichen got off his horse, he walked directly to Xiao Zhen, grabbed Xiao Zhen's arm, and cried, "Brother Xiao! You don't know how much I have suffered these days. This world is so dark. I should have believed in you at the beginning. If I had been more careful, I wouldn't have... wuwuwu!"

Xiao Zhen slapped Ning Caichen's dirty hand away with great disdain and laughed, "Brother Caichen, be more open-minded. As the saying goes, misfortune may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Maybe you will get lucky soon. Life is not always full of ups and downs. Just get used to it."

"I'm coming!"

Suddenly, an angry roar came from underground, and a figure emerged, looking at Ning Caichen viciously.

Zhiqiu Yiye was also tired. In order to catch up with the bastard who stole his BMW, he chased him underground for a whole day. Now he was sweating all over. He wished he could beat Ning Caichen half to death to relieve his hatred.

"Huh... Huh, I finally caught up with you... you bastard!" Zhiqiu Yiye said breathlessly.

Ning Caichen was confused and asked doubtfully, "Brother, do you know me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhiqiu Yiye pointed at Ning Caichen angrily and roared, "Where did you come from, you bastard? How could I possibly know you!"

Ning Caichen's eyelids twitched. He thought that this guy had a really bad temper. He would swear at any time and he didn't know what the grudge was.

"Since you don't even know me, why are you chasing me?" Ning Caichen simply spread his hands and said helplessly.

Zhiqiu Yiye pointed at the BMW next to him and said angrily, "You stole my horse, why do you think I should chase you?"

When Ning Caichen heard this, he immediately understood and apologized quickly.

"I'm so sorry, it turns out that horse is yours. I thought the old man prepared it for me!"

"Uncle? Uncle, you should also ask, just ride the horse when you see it!" Zhiqiu Yiye said unhappily.

If Zhiqiu Yiye was not a cultivator with extremely high cultivation, if he were a swordsman like Xiahou, he would have killed the scholar Ning Caichen with a single sword.

When Ning Caichen saw Zhiqiu Yiye’s embarrassed look, he immediately began to admit his mistakes.

Zhiqiu Yiye just snorted coldly. If Ning Caichen didn't look like a human being, he would have beaten the shit out of him today!

Xiao Zhen smiled softly, then said, "You two must be tired now, why don't you go in and take a rest."

Ning Caichen and Zhiqiu Yiye did not object. Now that it was getting dark, they had to find a place to spend the night, and it seemed that this was the only villa around.

Afterwards, several small fires were lit inside the villa, and Ning Caichen kept telling Xiao Zhen about his experiences.

After hearing this, everyone felt that Ning Caichen was really unlucky. He was thrown into jail for no reason and almost had his head chopped off.

Zhiqiu Yiye's eyes were on the two female ghosts next to Xiao Zhen. He really couldn't imagine that someone would actually keep ghosts as maids, and they seemed to be well tamed and very obedient.

Ning Caichen felt that Zhiqiu Yiye's gaze was too revealing. He kept staring at Xiao Zhen's two maids, which was really rude.

Ning Caichen was not in a good situation to begin with. There were only four women here. Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaoqian were Xiao Zhen's people, so he didn't dare to have any ideas.

However, Ning Caichen couldn't help but take a few more glances at the beauty who looked like Xiao Zhen's four daughters and her sister.

As the saying goes, a scholar's true nature, in all the stories from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, it is common for something to happen with female ghosts and foxes.

Zhiqiu Yiye bowed to Xiao Zhen and introduced himself solemnly: "I am a young sorcerer from the Kunlun Sect, my name is Zhiqiu Yiye, what is your name, brother?"

Xiao Zhen, who was enjoying a massage, opened one eye, looked at Zhiqiu Yiye carefully, and said lightly: "Xiao family, Xiao Zhen!"

Zhiqiu Yiye thought about it and realized that there was no mistake about the famous Xiao family, so he asked seriously: "Brother Xiao should also be a cultivator, why do you have two female ghosts around you? This seems a bit inappropriate!"

Female ghost! Upon hearing this, everyone present was a little confused, but Ning Caichen did react and looked at Xiaoqing carefully.

Ning Caichen had seen Xiaoqing before, although only once, but the scene was still fresh in his memory. After all, it was his first time seeing a ghost and he was almost scared to death. He didn't expect to meet her again today.

"This wizard must be overthinking it. The two girls don't look like female ghosts. Don't say such things!" Fu Qingfeng came out with a smile to smooth things over. She didn't want this girl Xiaoqian, who looked very similar to her, to be slandered by others.

"Humph!" Zhiqiu Yiye said arrogantly, "Since you call me a magician, you should know that I have real skills. I can tell whether it's a human or a ghost with just one sniff!"

Ning Caichen asked cautiously: "Brother Xiao, what this wizard said seems to make sense. Why do you bring two female ghosts with you? Will this..."

Xiao Zhen couldn't help but yawn, and said speechlessly: "Aren't they just two female ghosts? This is not a big deal. Besides, I am a person of status, and I always need two people to take care of me. Otherwise, I will feel a little uncomfortable."

"You can also find someone else, why do you have to find a female ghost?" Zhiqiu Yiye asked puzzledly.

Xiao Zhen pulled Nie Xiaoqian into his arms and immediately started talking nonsense.

"I took them in as maids, not only because they are beautiful, but also because they don't ask for wages. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"

Zhiqiu Yiye was also speechless. Raising ghosts was forbidden in their sect. If discovered, it would be normal to be imprisoned for ten or eight years.

Zhiqiu Yiye had seen a senior brother before. Because he raised a female ghost, his cultivation was destroyed and he was thrown off the mountain.

Xiao Zhen smiled slightly, and then he asked Zhiqiu Yiye about the affairs of the cultivation world.

Although Zhiqiu Yiye's cultivation is not as good as Yan Chixia's, he is from an orthodox sect after all, and he knows more things than Yan Chixia, who is a wild person.

After chatting for a while, Ning Caichen's stomach suddenly protested. After all, he had been imprisoned in the prison before, where he could not get enough to eat. He had been riding a horse all day today and was already starving.

Zhiqiu Yiye also touched his belly. In order to chase this bastard, he had used up the earth escape technique for the whole day. Not only did he consume his physical strength, but also his limited mana, which was almost wasted.

Xiao Zhen looked at Fu Qingfeng and her sister, as well as those chivalrous men beside him, who were just eating the cakes.

Xiao Zhen waved his hand and a large piece of dried meat appeared in his palm. He chuckled and said, "Everyone, I still have some dried meat here. If you don't mind, take it and enjoy it!"

When they heard that there was meat to eat, many people's eyes lit up, but Zhiqiu Yiye's eyes were wide open. He was different from these mortals. He could tell at a glance that the dried meat was not simple.

Although it was unknown how long the dried meat had been stored and a lot of energy had been lost, Qiu Yiye could still tell that it should be the meat of some unknown monster.

And the strength of this monster had reached at least the Golden Core Stage when he was alive, comparable to the elders among them. Unexpectedly, he has now become food for everyone.
