Jiang Mian didn't know why she was running.
But she knew that if she stayed in that room any longer, she was afraid she would make a big mistake.
When Xiao Jingcheng turned to talk to her just now, she actually, actually kept staring at his lips!
She was even thinking in her heart whether those lips were really cool and soft, just like the ice cream she had eaten before?
She bumped into Taoist Yuanzheng who was coming back in the corridor. She paused and stammered, "Daozhang, how's it going?"
Taoist Yuanzheng said with a smile, "Miss Jiang, don't worry. Just now, the poor Taoist has gotten rid of the wandering ghost that harmed His Highness. However, a big mansion where a murder has occurred is most likely to be haunted. You must be careful when you sleep at night."
Jiang Mian was stunned, and goosebumps immediately rose on her arms.
"Ah? Didn't the Daozhang exorcise all the wandering souls in the mansion during the day?"
How, how could there still be wandering ghosts?
Taoist Yuanzheng stroked his goatee and said, "The poor Taoist exorcised the wronged souls in the Li Mansion. But you should know that this place has been vacant for so many years, and there are empty rooms everywhere. Previously, because of the souls in the Li Mansion, other wandering souls didn't dare to get close casually. Now that the 'owners' have all disappeared, aren't they free to do evil?"
Then he sighed again, "It's a pity that the poor Taoist used too much magic power when exorcising the souls during the day and can't take care of too many things. So Miss Jiang can only rely on herself. Wandering ghosts like to target lonely little girls the most."
Jiang Mian got anxious, "Then what should I do?"
Taoist Yuanzheng sighed and said, "If there were a man by Miss Jiang's side, with the man's yang energy, those wandering ghosts would definitely not dare to make trouble."
Jiang Mian almost choked.
A man, yang energy?
She looked at Taoist Yuanzheng suspiciously.
Could he be talking nonsense?
But Taoist Yuanzheng was really capable.
Taoist Yuanzheng tucked his hands into his sleeves and added, "But it doesn't matter. Isn't there going to be a wedding in the mansion in a few days? There will be many guests on that day. After there is enough popularity, the ancestors of the Li family will also protect this mansion. So..."
Jiang Mian finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
However, after they parted and Jiang Mian returned to her room, she always felt that the room she was staying in was a bit gloomy. In the places where the candlelight couldn't reach, it seemed that there were many souls staring at her.
When she took off her outer robe, Jiang Mian's hair stood on end. Suddenly, she turned around, but there was nothing behind her except the flickering candlelight in the room.
She remembered that she had asked Xiao Jingcheng a few days ago if he believed in ghosts in this world.
She really wanted to cry!
On the other hand, since Jiang Mian left, the corners of Xiao Jingcheng's lips couldn't stop rising.
All that had happened tonight was of course his deliberate doing.
Mo Zhizhang was not with them at this time. How could he let go of such a good opportunity to get close to her?
So when he saw her hiding in the dark and secretly sizing up Li Zhao and Jiang Zhiqing, he quietly approached her. Sure enough, he got her "throwing herself into his arms".
He raised his hand and gently stroked his lips. The smile on Xiao Jingcheng's face grew wider.
This...
It was really an unexpected harvest.
The girl had been very close to him just now. It seemed that his body was filled with her fragrance, as if she was still in his arms.
If only he could keep her by his side like this forever.
Xiao Jingcheng sighed softly. It was a pity that with his current situation, he couldn't make any expressions or promises to her for the time being.
Everything had to be planned after they returned to the capital.
When Taoist Yuanzheng returned to the room, Xiao Jingcheng hadn't had time to put away the smile on his face. He clicked his tongue and said,
"Look at how happy you are."
Xiao Jingcheng restrained himself a bit and mocked, "What do you know as a monk?"
Taoist Yuanzheng chuckled and crossed his legs, "I don't know? I just helped you out. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on yourself."
Xiao Jingcheng sat up slightly.
What did he mean?
Xiao Jingcheng let Taoist Yuanzheng help him back to the bed. He was about to lie down and recite the spell to return to Da Huang's body to find Jiang Mian when the sound of a girl's footsteps came from outside.
The footsteps were very light but a bit hasty, as if there was something chasing her behind.
Before Xiao Jingcheng could figure out what was going on, their door was knocked.
Taoist Yuanzheng held his wine gourd in his hand, winked at him, and then got up to open the door.
"So it's you, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Mian poked her little head out from behind the door. She first greeted Taoist Yuanzheng, and then looked into the room. She cleared her throat and called out,
"Xiao Jingcheng, come out. I have something to tell you."
Xiao Jingcheng's heart skipped a beat. He propped up his somewhat weak body and walked out step by step.
After going out, Jiang Mian immediately supported his arm and led him to a dark place.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Jingcheng lowered his head and asked softly.
"Well, I thought about it carefully after I went back. You had a head injury, and you bumped it again today. I'm really a bit worried."
"Cough cough cough," she uncomfortably cleared her throat. "Well, how about you stay in the same room with me tonight? If there's anything wrong, I can treat you in time."
Stay in the same room?
She actually invited him into her room?
The sudden happiness made Xiao Jingcheng feel a bit dizzy for no reason.
And his momentary daze was seen by Jiang Mian as a symptom of the after - effects of his head injury. Originally, what she said was only 60% true, but now it became 80%.
"Are you okay?" she asked nervously.
Xiao Jingcheng stabilized his emotions and tried not to show it too obviously. He shook his head, "It's okay. I'm just a bit dizzy, which just proves that your worry is right."
"Just... aren't you afraid of being discovered by your parents?"
Jiang Mian said, "I'll send you back as soon as dawn breaks!"
Xiao Jingcheng said with a frown, "What if the purple energy in my body is exhausted and I fall into a coma again?"
Jiang Mian hadn't thought of this, but she quickly came up with a solution:
"It doesn't matter. Just say that you've fallen into a coma. I'll ask the Daozhang to send you back when they're not around. My parents won't really go to verify it."
"They're going to get married in five days. They have a lot to do and won't have the time to care about us."
Xiao Jingcheng held back his laughter, "Okay, I'll go back with you."
As soon as she made the decision, Jiang Mian quickly tidied up the arhat bed in the room. Xiao Jingcheng was then placed there, and there was a carved green silk screen between his bed and the main bed where she slept.
It had been a long time since they had been in the same room. The last time they had slept in the same room was when Xiao Jingcheng had lost his memory and become "Goudan".
Da Huang wagged his tail and ran back and forth between their beds, looking at one and then the other, enjoying himself.
