The years I was in the human world

"This has nothing to do with you." Lin Xiyang interrupted, his dead eyes staring at Lu Zhouxue indifferently, and soon dropped, "It is true that you are Zhu Huang's successor, but in the final analysis, it is not her. The hatred has nothing to do with you, and I don't need to answer your doubts."

Wei Ruge sneered mockingly.

Lu Zhouxue's face darkened as well. He raised his hand and threw the white silk out, heading straight for Lin Xiyang's throat. The latter drew his sword to block his attack, not wanting to fight him, so he just used his sword to block the white silk, frowning and saying, "I'm just telling the truth, why are you so angry?"

"He's not angry out of shame." It was Wei Ruge who resolved the deadlock between the two. He separated the two, but stood in front of Lu Zhouxue in a protective posture, looking at Lin Xiyang and said, "After all, now that you want to remove the divine bones, he is the one who suffers. How can you say 'it has nothing to do with him'? What do you think?"

If Wei Ruge's attitude before was unclear, then it was obvious that he had intervened between the two of them at this time: he was protecting Lu Zhouxue, but was completely unfamiliar with Lin Xiyang.

Lin Xiyang looked at Wei Ruge in silence. It was only a hundred years, not long, but also not short. He was the one who had personally raised him and the child was extremely respectful and polite to him, but now he treated him with such a strange and playful attitude and even defended others. It was impossible for him to say that he did not feel a little sad in his heart.

Wei Ruge looked back at Lin Xiyang unconsciously, his eyes were cold and mean. He smiled meaningfully, quickly looked away from Lin Xiyang, and turned to talk to Lu Zhouxue. However, the content of his words sounded like a veiled attack: "Worldly people all like people who are the same as themselves and hate people who are different from themselves. Why bother to talk to him?"

"After all, people with different ideologies cannot work together." Wei Ruge said this, glanced at Lin Xiyang frivolously, turned around and opened the window next to him, looking at the little ghost holding a little girl and waiting quietly outside, and chuckled, "Aha, someone else is coming."

"Kong Qing?!" Lu Zhouxue looked at the girl who was brought in in astonishment. The first thought in his mind was that the evil ghost wanted to use Peacock to control him, but he thought again and felt something was wrong, "Why are you here?"

"Brother Lu!" Peacock was also surprised to see Lu Zhouxue, but she was more relaxed as she met someone familiar. She ran up to Lu Zhouxue and explained the whole story in a few words: she and Big Cat left Zhongting to chase Lu Zhouxue, but they met the Ghost King who was leading a group of evil ghosts to the north on the way, and then Lin Xiyang recognized her and took her to the Ghost Palace.

"Why are you chasing me?" Lu Zhouxue rubbed Kong Que's head helplessly, took the little girl into his arms and looked her up and down, "Are you okay?"

Peacock shook her head, turned around and saw Lin Xiyang staring at her like a devil, and shrank into Lu Zhouxue's arms. Peacock did not recognize Lin Xiyang, she only knew that she and Ah Mao were walking on the road just fine, and this man came up and picked her up, and asked inexplicably: "Are you Zhu Huang's daughter?" Then he knocked her out, put her in a sack and took her to this spooky place, so she was a little afraid of him.

"You scared her." Wei Ruge said sarcastically, and walked to Lu Zhouxue and squatted down. He tied a beautiful knot with the immortal rope that he had just escaped from. He handed the little thing to Kong Que and said, "Don't be afraid of him. Little girl, call me brother and I will protect you."

Kong Que took the knot from Wei Ruge, but raised his head to look at Wei Ruge and said hesitantly, "Uncle Wei?"

Kong Que was a little confused. Didn't Uncle Wei go to protect the master? Why did he appear in the ghost house with Brother Lu? He even asked me to call him brother, as if he didn't know me at all.

Wei Ruge blinked, obviously not expecting this. He raised his eyes and saw Lu Zhouxue looking at him with scrutiny and vigilance, almost asking directly "Who are you?"

Wei Ruge kept smiling, and cursed Xiao Fengzhuo a thousand times in his heart. He stood up as usual, and turned to talk to Lin Xiyang in a less polite tone, even though he was now someone else's prisoner: "Maybe we don't have anything to talk about?"

The reason why Lin Xiyang came here specially was, firstly, to see Wei Ruge, who almost became his apprentice, and secondly, for Zhu Huang's daughter Yu Zhao. Now, one of them treated him coldly and the other avoided him, so there was naturally no need for him to stay here and humiliate himself.

What's more, he looked calmly at Lu Zhouxue who was holding Kong Que in his arms and comforting him. Even if Yu Zhao died, Kong Que would be protected by his successor Xue Feng, so he didn't need to worry about it. So Lin Xiyang left in silence.

Gongsun Wuyin was waiting outside the courtyard with a green robe draped over his shoulders, looking much more dressed up than usual. When he saw Lin Xiyang coming out, he looked at the latter's calm face and said softly, "Why do you feel bad when you meet an old friend in a foreign land?"

"As the Ghost King's personal butler, does he even care about other people's joys and sorrows?" Lin Xiyang raised his dark eyes and said something quite ironic.

"Who told you to be the master's guest of honor?" Gongsun Wuyin said calmly, not caring about the other party's sarcasm towards him. He even laughed, but no matter how he looked at it, it was bitter. "I can't control it, but the master cares."

"Heh." Lin Xiyang sneered. Gongsun Wuyin had a reputation for being a beauty, and she was also the steward of the Ghost Mansion appointed by the Ghost King. He didn't believe that there was no other relationship between the two of them. But even so, both the Ghost King and Gongsun Wuyin acted as if they had nothing to do with each other.

The Ghost King was entangled with the Sexy Ghost while flirting with him. Gongsun Wuyin seemed to be unable to get the Ghost King's love, but she was just as dissolute outside. Lin Xiyang really looked down on these two people with a twisted relationship. It was not easy to break up with the Ghost King, but he didn't need to be so polite to the Sexy Ghost: "Do you have to meddle in everything related to the Ghost King?"

"I'm just being loyal. It's none of my business to interfere in the Ghost King's affairs." Gongsun Wuyin maintained her attitude. She seemed indifferent and calm towards Lin Xiyang's aggressiveness.

"Hmph, birds of a feather." Lin Xiyang snorted coldly. Not wanting to play Tai Chi with the sexy ghost anymore, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Gongsun Wuyang looked at Lin Xiyang's back as he left with a wave of his sleeves. He tilted his head slightly, with a confused expression on his face. For the first time, he took the initiative to think about why his master favored Lin Xiyang so much?

As for Lu Zhouxue, after Lin Xiyang left, he held Kong Que in his arms and stared at Wei Ruge in silence. After a moment, he took the initiative to break the silence and asked, "Who are you, and why did you become my junior brother?"

"Hmm..." Wei Ruge leaned lazily against the wall with his arms folded. After listening to Lu Zhouxue's question, he pretended to be in deep thought for a moment, but then he avoided the main point and said, "To be honest, I didn't want to either, but I happened to be out on business, and Xiao happened to be unable to leave, so he asked me to look after you for a while, that's all, as for other things, I have nothing to say."

"..." Lu Zhouxue took a deep breath, suppressed her temper, and tried her best to sound calm, "So you are indeed not my junior brother. Ah Zhuo asked you to come... to look after me. What is your relationship?"

"Not quite accurately, she is my senior sister." Wei Ruge had a gloating smile on his face, "You know, Xiao likes to wear some weird girls' clothes."

"It's just occasionally." Lu Zhouxue retorted subconsciously. He didn't like hearing others slander Xiao Fengzhuo.

"Is that so? Maybe he is more respectful in front of you." Wei Ruge understood.

"So what was your original name?" After confirming that the other party had no ill intentions, Lu Zhouxue didn't need to dig into his identity, but he still had to ask his name. He couldn't always call him "Wei Ruge", right?

"The guy called Wei Ruge is your junior fellow apprentice, right? Just think of me as your junior fellow apprentice as well." The young man said, but he was unwilling to mention even his real name.

Peacock listened to the conversation between the two silently, staring at the boy's face with curiosity. She thought Lin Xiyang was very similar to her junior uncle, but she didn't expect that there could be two people in the world who look exactly the same.

As the young man spoke, he tried to open the window. When he found that there was a restriction, he silently retracted his claws. He walked to the only bed in the room, pulled down the curtain hanging on the bed, spread it on the ground, and lay down on it with his clothes on. "Rest first. I'm tired after fighting last night. We can talk about other things tomorrow."

Lu Zhouxue was now a mortal and was already tired. He gave his bed to Peacock and wove a hammock on the beams with white silk to sleep on.

The young man said he was going to sleep, but in fact, after Kong Que and Lu Zhouxue's breathing calmed down, he got up calmly, opened the door and went out. The restriction at the door seemed to be useless to him and there was no movement.

The boy closed the door and left, and Lu Zhouxue opened his eyes while keeping his breathing. How could he look like he was asleep?

He came down from the Tianbai silk and landed at the door. The restriction might be useless to the young man. It would be difficult for Lu Zhouxue to go out without alerting anyone. He had demon-suppressing marks on his body, and he was a ghost. As soon as he went out, Gongsun Wuyin would know it immediately.

This restriction was originally aimed at him. The evil ghosts didn't care whether Wei Ruge or someone else would run away. The only one they wanted to keep was Lu Zhouxue.

Knowing that he couldn't get out, Lu Zhouxue naturally didn't want to waste his efforts. He turned around and went back to rest, but he was secretly cautious.

The next day, Lu Zhouxue was awakened by the sexy ghost. When he opened his eyes, he saw Gongsun Wuyin sitting beside his bed, reaching out as if to touch his face. When she lowered her head, her jet-black hair fell down, making her face look even smaller.

Lu Zhouxue's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly sat up from the bed, avoiding the touch of the ghost. Gongsun Wuyin did not touch him, and paused, then withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened. He said softly: "Yesterday's arrangements were not good, but you slept well."

"Where's Kong Qing?" Lu Zhouxue remembered that he slept on Tianbaisi, but now he woke up in bed. This is not good...

"I'm practicing swordplay with the young man who came with you." Gongsun Wuyin's voice was soft, but her tone was pleasant to the ear. Even Lu Zhouxue, who was calm as water, would be moved by it. "You should worry about yourself. That girl is Zhu Huang's daughter. With Lin Xiyang here, she will be fine."

The door of the wing room was open, but because of the restriction, Lu Zhouxue could not get out. He could only stand in the room and watch the young man and Kongque practicing sword in the courtyard.

There is no daytime in the ghost house. The only difference between day and night is the changes of the bright moon in the sky. Therefore, it is still pitch black outside. A few little ghosts are lighting up the place with human head lamps on their heads. Practicing sword in such an environment is really weird and funny.

Lu Zhouxue ignored the ghost and stood at the door, watching Peacock practice sword quietly for a while.

"Your moves are contradictory. Who taught you that?" The young man in red said as he took the wooden sword from the girl and demonstrated it to her. "Swordsmanship requires natural movements, like flowing clouds and blowing snow, rather than just killing."

"Uncle Wei, this is not what you taught me last time." Peacock curled his lips.

"The last time was wrong, you should do it this time." After the boy finished a set of sword skills, he returned the wooden sword to Peacock.

Peacock: "You said the same thing last time."

"I will definitely not say that next time." The boy said nonchalantly, "In the future, no matter what others say, you should just follow what I taught you today."

"But that's what our master taught us." Kong Que said, "Our master said swordsmanship requires quick and decisive actions, and no lingering thoughts."

"I told you to be decisive, not to be so righteous and arbitrary that you broke the sword." The young man said casually, "Your master's level is not good enough."

Peacock: "..." You weren't so arrogant when you were following your master like a tail.

Gongsun Wuyin watched from the side for a while and also noticed something was wrong, but he was not familiar with Wei Ruge after all, so he had not yet figured out the real clue. He just sighed: "Young Master Wei is different from when he was in Rongcheng. He seems to have some of the character of a master."

Lu Zhouxue didn't say anything. The moves that the young man taught Peacock seemed somewhat familiar to him.

"Mr. Lu, why don't you speak?" The ghost tilted her head to look at him, her eyes moist and adorable.

Lu Zhouxue avoided his gaze and said calmly: "How long are you going to keep me locked up?"

"This has to be decided by our master when he comes back." Gongsun Wuyin told the truth. The Ghost King only told them to capture Lu Zhouxue and keep him under good care, and he didn't say anything else.

"Ghost King? When will he come back?" Lu Zhouxue really wanted to meet this ghost lord whom he had heard of for a long time. After all, he alone stirred up a big drama of the Dongshan old case, which should not be underestimated.

"It's been these few days." The ghost replied, "The master likes you very much. He should be very happy to see you."

"I'm afraid you like the divine bones in my body." Lu Zhouxue sneered.

In this way, Lu Zhouxue was bored and watched Kongque practice sword. Occasionally, Lin Xiyang would come and see the young man demonstrating. The first time, he was obviously surprised. He said: "Master really taught you well. Your sword skills have reached such a high level."

The young man raised his eyes and glanced at him with a smile, but didn't say anything. Gradually, Lin Xiyang stopped talking, and half a month passed in a flash.
