Quickly wear it! Fight with the heroine for the man? I'll do it!

The chef who was arranging dishes for Qingyuan was also startled when he heard his sudden shout.

I didn't hear what she said exactly and thought that my food was not to my liking.

"Master, which dish doesn't suit your taste? I'll make it again for you."

Qingyuan realized that there was someone beside him, and quickly shook his hand apologetically: "What's wrong with your appetite? You've attracted the greedy cat here."

Having said that, he asked the chef to go back first. For a moment, Qingyuan and Yu Miao were the only two people left in the hall.

No, Qingyuan was a person, and Yu Miao was a ghost.

Yu Miao asked tentatively: "Master, can you see me?"

"uh-huh."

Qingyuan was proud: "My cultivation over the years was not in vain."

"So Taoist Qingyuan also has a ghost catching business?"

"Yes, I am here to catch you, little devil!"

As he spoke, Qingyuan made his hands into claw shapes to scare Yu Miao.

Yu Miao stood there indifferent.

“Not fun…”

Qingyuan said, asking her to come over and sit down to eat.

"Eat it. I'm so greedy that my eyes are about to pop out of my head."

Upon hearing this, Yu Miao was no longer polite and took the chicken leg and started eating.

As a ghost, it naturally eats differently from ordinary people.

Even if she eats to her heart's content, the drumstick's appearance won't change noticeably, it'll just lose some color and aroma.

After she finished eating, Qingyuan picked it up and continued eating without any hesitation.

It was very quiet between the two of them, and the only sounds that could be heard were the occasional chewing and swallowing.

"Why do you want to die for no reason?" Qingyuan asked.

Yu Miao paused while eating, then swallowed the food: "I was murdered."

As he spoke, he pointed to the bloody hole on his chest.

Qingyuan smiled and said, "Girl, why do you have to hide anything from an old man like me?"

Yu Miao touched the tip of his nose awkwardly. Yes, Taoist Qingyuan was so powerful, how could he be fooled by her.

I had no choice but to tell the truth: "I just feel sick of being played like a monkey. According to the information I have learned so far, the person who is manipulating us seems to value me very much. I just want to see if someone will come to rescue me after I die. Who will rescue me? Only in this way can I meet the person behind the scenes."

Yu Miao said, helplessly spreading his hands: "I know this method is a bit crude, but this is the best way I can think of with my IQ."

Yu Miao looked at the table full of dishes and suddenly lost his appetite.

Yes, she is floating now, what on earth does it mean?

Boil the frog in warm water, can you give it a quick death?

"Then you don't have any attachment to my disciple at all?"

Yu Miao looked at him and pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly: "I know he is not as indifferent to me as I show him, and I really like him, but how can I put it..."

"If I had a clear conscience and accepted everything I was experiencing without any doubt, I would of course follow the established rules and my heart. However, the seeds of doubt have already sprouted in my heart. How can I love him without reservation? This is extremely irresponsible to us and to this relationship."

"We are both short-lived people anyway. After this period of time, we probably won't know each other anymore..."

Yu Miao choked up when he said this, with tears in his eyes.

He lowered his head deeply, trying not to let Qingyuan see him.

Seeing this, Qingyuan sighed softly: "Do you know why your soul has not dissipated until today?"

Yes, Yu Miao has also read novels with similar ghost themes. Generally, ghosts will wander around the world for seven days before their souls dissipate and no longer stay in the human world.

"Does the Taoist know the reason?"

"It was that kid Xiao Jinan who insisted on using his half-baked Taoist skills to share his life with you."

"Taoism is most concerned with cause and effect. You shared a bowl of longevity noodles with him, and your words of blessing pointed out the meaning of longevity noodles as the cause. He used this bowl of noodles and this blessing to exchange your immortal soul with the heaven as the result. Only then can you wander the world, immortal and indestructible."

He actually...

Yu Miao couldn't imagine that he would go to this extent for her.

Even though he was advancing step by step, the emperor's power was gradually hollowed out, and under the strong wave of public opinion, he was already clearly on the verge of defeat, but there should be no one who did not want to see the downfall of his enemy, to see him fall from the altar, to be cursed by the world, and to linger on.

Having shared his life with her, he would not be able to witness all this!

She originally thought that Xiao Jinan just had a good impression of her, or at most liked her, but she didn't expect that he was suppressing it so deeply.

"Master, does he know my current situation?"

"I guess he just thought you had returned to your own world."

Qingyuan looked at him with clear eyes: "I know your inner struggle and contradiction, but please listen to my advice. If you continue to be in a daze until both of your lives are exhausted, then you will truly disappear. You will not meet the so-called 'person behind the scenes'. If you want to know the truth of the matter, you can only complete your task honestly."

Yu Miao was about to cry, and she wished she could regard Taoist Qingyuan, who told her all this, as her great benefactor.

Hearing his last sentence, I couldn't help but doubt.

Why does this rhetoric sound so much like a pyramid scheme?

Taoist Priest Qingyuan was possessed by another spirit? Who sent him?

"What do you mean, Taoist priest?"

Qingyuan smiled and shook his head: "There are too many true essences in this world hidden under the false appearance, true and false, false and true, if it is not the 'source' at the beginning, you still have to understand it!"

When Yu Miao saw that he was about to leave, she hurriedly chased after him, but she clearly felt that there was an invisible obstacle between them. Even though Qingyuan's pace was not fast, she still could not catch up.

"If you figure it out, go to the place I drew. Three nights later, you will know where you came from."

Yu Miao saw that he couldn't catch up no matter how hard he tried, so he had to give up.

She picked up the thing Qingyuan left for her and looked at it. It looked like a map.

Without stopping, he immediately followed the route he left for him.

Somehow, she could predict that this clue was very important to her.

Qingyuan's words were very straightforward, but his ideas were not specific.

What is essence and what is illusion?

True and false, false and true...

Is he talking about his own origins?

[It is not the “source” at the very beginning].

At the beginning, that was the world in which she took the college entrance examination.

Perhaps because this was the first world she had memories of, she mistakenly thought that world was her "original".

What if she had experienced another world before the college entrance examination but she had lost her memory?

Could it be that she has been traveling through books all along?

Then who is she?

[Too much essence is hidden under the false appearance...]

What is fake?

She had always believed that the identity of the book transmigrator was fake, and the identity of the college entrance examination candidate was real.

Is the knowledge going to be returned now?

Do not……

She looked at her current appearance.

Have an outrageous idea.

Does she really exist? Could it be that she has always been a "ghost"?
