Chapter 22 Lakeside Night Encounter
Li Jue told Chu Liang a story.
The protagonist of the story is Situ Yan, an ordinary girl. She is not beautiful, but her family is rich and her life is rich.
Ben is also happy enough to live a lifetime.
It's a pity that two years ago, a fire broke out in Situ Yan's home. Although she was rescued from the fire, she escaped with her life, but half of her face was burned, leaving behind an ugly scar that could never fade.
They were originally classmates in Gengzi Class of Nanshan Academy. Ever since Situ Yan was disfigured, everyone was afraid of her appearance. Although she can cover her face with a veil...and leave thick hair to cover the left half of her face, it cannot be completely covered after all.
A few naughty villains began to bully her frequently, trying to force her to leave Nanshan Academy.
Zhang Cong would call her ugly every day...Wu Shaoan would often hit her with paper balls...Chen Daming knew that she was very afraid of fire after that time, and would often scare her with burning hay...Yan Xiaohu would ask her for five taels a month silver…
Situ Yan thought about giving up, she didn't want to go to the academy anymore. At this time, it was Li Jue who encouraged her.
That's right.
People in the academy either bullied her, or didn't dare to look at her. Only Li Jue treated her sincerely. Li Jue, who has always been taciturn, and Situ Yan, who has gradually become autistic after being burned, seem to have a kind of sympathy between the same kind.
He will encourage Situ Yan to come to the academy bravely, help her with her missing homework, and stand up to help her speak out when those villains bully her...
Although the result is often that he also becomes the target of being bullied.
Before Situ Yan was burned, they had a casual friendship, but after she was burned, they became good friends.
Li Jue thought that he could slowly cheer up Situ Yan.
But he didn't expect that one day when they were reading together by the lake, he fell asleep unknowingly... When he woke up, he found himself **** by Situ Yan!
Situ Yan tied Li Jue's hands and took out a small knife. Her eyes shone with a frightening light.
She said that she has fallen in love with Li Jue. As long as Li Jue's face is also scratched to turn him into a "monster", then they can be together forever.
...
Thanks to Li Jue struggling frantically, she finally broke free before her knife approached. He pushed Situ Yan away, called her crazy, then turned and ran away, never daring to look back at her again.
The next day, I heard the news that Situ Yan had an accident by the lake.
Li Jue was confused.
He didn't know whether he was right or wrong, why he had treated her sincerely all this time in exchange for such a reward, and whether the sentence he called her crazy was the last straw that crushed her...
Seven days later, the bodies of Wu Shaoan and Zhang Cong were also found in the lake.
People in the academy were wondering if Situ Yan's resentful soul had come back for revenge, and Li Jue thought so too.
definitely is!
She must be back, and all those who bullied her will be punished.
But he didn't know...Will he be the target of her revenge?
Li Jue was very scared.
…
When Chu Liang walked out of the room, he was in a complicated mood. This is indeed a very heavy story, but practitioners still have their own responsibilities after all.
Lin Bei was waiting outside, and when he saw him come out, he asked, "What's the matter?"
"Since the death of Zhang Cong and Wu Shaoan, Chen Da has never been to the academy, and has been hiding at home by himself... Yan Xiaohu is doing his own way, but he should not be able to go out for the past two days..."
"If Situ Yan turns into a resentful spirit, it will probably still appear by the lake in the mountain behind the academy..."
"I'll go there to check it out, you just stay and watch Li Jue."
Chu Liang briefly told Lin Bei what he asked, and then he planned to go to the back mountain of the academy to explore.
"Okay, leave it to me here." Lin Beidao: "You should be careful when dealing with the resentful soul alone."
"Don't worry, Situ Yan didn't have any cultivation before he was alive, even if he turned into a resentful spirit, it's not difficult to deal with." Chu Liang replied.
Yu Jian's light was dazzling, and he chose the slower but more simple Yu Feng flight.
At this time, the city should have been sealed off at night, but for practitioners, it will save trouble. If it's daytime, you have to worry about disturbing the people when flying around, and you can just take off at night and you're done.
When I came to the back mountain of the academy, the night was getting dark, and there was no one around. The shadows of the trees are slanting, the wind is whistling, and it seems that there are many people hiding in the night and rustling.
Perfect for a haunted night.
But before I waited too long, I heard a whistling wind.
Anyone?
Chu Liang stuck out his consciousness, only to catch an afterimage not far away.
It seems to be the back of a woman.
Come early.
Chu Liang restrained his energy carefully, and flew forward, sword in hand.
But when he came to the place where the woman's figure flashed just now, there was no trace of her.
Um?
Even if it is a ghost, it is impossible to disappear for no reason...
There is no trace of yin around.
Was wondering, just as his feet hit the ground, he heard a sound of breaking through the air above his head.
Chick—
A emerald green horse fell from the sky, it seemed to be like a sword light, and it seemed to be aura!
"Who is it?" Chu Liang raised his hand and raised his sword to greet him.
Dang lang lang lang lang lang lang lang ming, the strong wind blew up, smashing all the fallen leaves in a radius of several feet!
It was only then that he saw clearly that the weapon that attacked him was not a long sword, but a jade ruler. The quality of the jade ruler is undoubtedly far superior to his own flying sword. Under the blow, his cultivation level is almost the same as the opponent's, but the flying sword trembles.
Only one hit.
The person holding the jade ruler turned over in the air again, and landed about Zhang Xu away.
Chu Liang didn't pursue him either, because this person was so full of energy that it was obviously impossible for him to be a ghost.
It turned out to be a tall woman, wearing a black dress, which made her figure even more graceful, and her chest size was extremely prominent. The complexion is fair and tender, reflecting the moonlight.
"Song Jiaoxi?"
"Chu Liang?"
Both of them let out a cry of surprise.
It turned out that it was none other than the female teacher during the day, Song Qingyi, who made the sudden attack just now.
But…
During the day, Song Qingyi's chest didn't seem to be so large, but in the middle of the night, it skyrocketed so much... It's really strange.
After looking at each other for a while, the two asked in unison: "Are you also a practitioner?"
Paused, and said at the same time: "What are you doing here?"
Song Qingyi blushed, and then put on a straight face: "Don't learn how to speak from me!"
Chu Liang had no choice but to smile slightly, raised his hand, and made a "please" gesture.
"I saw that something was wrong with you before, where did you come from as a cultivator?" Song Qingyi asked.
"I am a disciple of the Shushan School, and I came to Nanshan Academy...in fact, I was invited to protect a student in the academy." Chu Liang replied truthfully, "Where is Song Jiaoxi?"
"I come from Jiangnan Gentleman Hall..." Song Qingyi also said: "There is a conspiracy in Nanshan Academy, and we Confucianists should solve it. It's just that we are worried about scaring the snake and making things inconvenient... That's why we enrolled as a teacher."
I see.
No wonder Mr. Xi is so young.
Chu Liang said: "It's true that my Shushan disciples should not interfere with this matter, but I just learned some news about being entrusted and loyal, so I came to the back mountain and lake to check. Since Song Jiaoxi is here, I must have figured out about Situ Yan."
Song Qingyi nodded and said: "Yes, I have stayed here for the past two days and nights, but I haven't seen any movement... Until today, I didn't see a figure sneaking around, so I shot at you, I hope you don't take offense..."
"It's okay." Chu Liang shook his head slightly, and said again: "Then since our goal is to solve this conspiracy, can we share the information we have obtained?"
What he thought was that Song Qingyi, as a person in the academy, might know some inside information that Li Jue, a student, didn't know.
Song Qingyi didn't reject it either, and nodded slightly, "What do you want to know?"
"I want to know..." Chu Liang looked at Song Qingyi's chest curiously, and gestured with both hands, "Song Jiaoxi, did you wear a corset before...why... so much difference between day and night?"
