    Zheng Mansion is very strictly guarded, except for his own family, everyone needs to go in and out.

    Even if Zheng Yanqing and Zheng Mei wanted to bring people into the Zheng residence, they had to inform Madam Zheng first, let alone Li Ruoshui.

    She stood at the door with Lu Zhiyao, waiting for the little servant to come in and report.

    After a while, not only the servant, but also Zheng Mei, the eldest lady of the Zheng family, came.

    She was obviously dressed up carefully, with plum blossoms painted on her forehead, snow gauze covering her body, and she swayed automatically while walking, carrying a fairy spirit.

    Zheng Mei stopped in front of the two and raised his chin slightly to look at them.

    "A stranger enters the manor to ask questions."

    Li Ruoshui looked at her suspiciously, then nodded.

    She always felt that there was something wrong with Zheng Mei. Yesterday, she asked her where she was Lu Kao, and she went to find someone this morning.

    Could it be that she is on the way?

    "Where does your family live? Who are there? Are you married?"

    Li Ruoshui heard Zheng Mei's question, and the questions in his heart were answered, and he immediately looked at Zheng Mei with a bit of admiration.

    Zheng Mei's appearance is cold and beautiful, but it is different from Lu Feiyue's cold and beautiful.

    Lu Feiyue has a touch of warmth hidden under her cold beauty, while Zheng Mei has an unconcealed arrogance in the cold.

    Even the question at the moment has a somewhat condescending connotation.

    "Me?" Lu Zhiyao rubbed the empty paper package in his palm and smiled a little: "I'm an orphan."

    In just four words, all Zheng Mei's questions were blocked.

    Zheng Mei frowned subconsciously when she heard this condition, but she felt relieved when she thought that such a family background was easy to handle.

    After looking up and down the road, she gave a satisfied smile and gave them a place.

    "go in."

    Li Ruoshui lifted his foot and crossed the threshold, but Lu Zhizhi still stood there and didn't move.

    He had a smile that was a bit warmer than the sun in April, making Zheng Mei Xiaolu dance wildly.

    "Forget it this time, next time you look at me like this, I'll dig out your eyes."

    Li Ruoshui's eyebrows jumped, and he hurried forward to press his arm: "He was joking, we still have something to do, so we won't stay for now."

    Zheng Mei looked at Li Ruoshui's hurried footsteps, and couldn't help but sneer, and the arrogance between his brows was undoubtedly revealed.

    Only people like them are so cautious, how can such words scare her, she is Zheng Mei, and she has countless masters, and he would not dare to give him a hundred courage.

    However, only a man of this color is worthy of her.

    "It's really a wink for the blind." She touched the flower between her brows and turned to support the maid next to her: "Forget it, it's nothing to be blind when you look like that. Go and talk to your mother about it."

    Zheng Yanqing's room was in Dongyuan, not far from the road, but there were a lot of twists and turns, and he had to turn several times, and only they lived here in Dongyuan, which was very deserted.

    The people encountered the most along the way were some patrolling people.

    "These people are really useless. They patrol every night and have never caught those pretending to be ghosts."

    Li Ruoshui recited a few words and led Lu Zhiyao into the room.

    Zheng Yanqing reads here every day, but it is not a classic, mostly travel notes and anecdotes.

    "Miss Li, you're back..."

    Zheng Yanqing put down the book in his hand and stopped when he saw Lu Kao who was following her: "Who is this?"

    "His surname is Lu, and he's a friend I invited to hunt ghosts."

    Li Ruoshui replied casually, took Lu Zhiyao to the table, and shoved him a piece of almond cake.

    "Try it now, this is the best pastry made by their Zheng family."

    Li Ruoshui was inexplicably relieved that the sorbet handed to him just now had been eaten, and could not wait to feed him more.

    This is probably the joy of having pets.

    The faint milky fragrance was brought to his lips. Lu Zhiyao didn't want to eat anymore, but for some reason, he opened his mouth and took it in.

    The taste of milk and almonds mixed, filling the tongue, accompanied by Li Ruoshui's murmuring voice, Lu Zhi couldn't help raising the corners of his lips and relaxed his shoulders and neck.

    He turned his head slightly to the left and "looked" at Li Ruoshui, his hair like Momo vaguely covered his left eye, revealing a straight nose bridge and fan-like eyelashes. as gentle as possible.

    "Don't let Young Master Zheng discuss it."

    Li Ruoshui: "..."

    Why did he say this so strangely.

    Zheng Yanqing sat over when he heard the words, his expression was a little restrained, and Li Ruoshui had nothing to say.

    This is obviously the Zheng family, shouldn't their attitudes be changed?

    "It's okay, Zheng Yanqing can't move at night, he can just lie down, the main output is you."

    Li Ruoshui patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "Whether I can sleep well or not depends on you."

    Although Lu Zhiyao is elusive and prone to some outrageous behaviors, Li Ruoshui believes in his ability very much.

    Zheng Yanqing's eyes moved between the two of them, thoughtfully, but he didn't break it, just nodded.

    "In order to have a good energy at night, I'll make up for some sleep first."

    Li Ruoshui yawned, fell headfirst on the bed, and fell asleep not long after.

    Zheng Yanqing looked at Li Ruoshui who slept in seconds, and had a deeper understanding of their relationship. Li Ruoshui had never slept so fast before.

    "Master Lu, what do you want to do next, I can..."

    "No, just wait until it gets dark."

    Lu Zhiyao stood up, walked slowly outside the house, sat on the swing, and swayed.

    Zheng Yanqing didn't say anything else. When he picked up the book, he glanced at the courtyard again, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

    How did he know there was a swing there?

    The night was dark and windy, and three bangs sounded.

    A group of night guards passed by outside the door, and Li Ruoshui inside the door stared at the bed tent with a nervous expression.

    It didn't take long for the pattern to appear again on the roof that had been changed. This time, it wasn't red eyes, but a few messy bloody handprints.

    The originally locked window suddenly opened, with a creak, echoing in the quiet night.

    The moment the window was opened, Li Ruoshui couldn't move. At this time, he couldn't even speak, and he returned to the horror of the ghost pressing the bed.

    Tree shadows swayed and rustled in the dark night, bells rang from the corridor, and the windows creaked in the night breeze.

    Perhaps it was the resistance last night that annoyed them. The "little devil" who never broke into the door and window in the past stuck his head out of the window and cracked a smile at Li Ruoshui.

    Li Ruoshui took a deep breath and sang in his heart: I send you three hundred and sixty-five blessings, auspicious light, surrounding me...

    The kid pulled the window door with both hands and jumped onto the window sill. The bell on his body rang strangely. He giggled, not like a child, but like an adult.

    He jumped into the room, clinking, and drew a dagger from his feet.

    If it was a mental attack before, it may be a physical attack now.

    Zheng Yanqing, who was lying on the couch, widened his eyes and whimpered, but couldn't move.

    Li Ruoshui could only lie down, looking around at the roof, but couldn't see where Lu Zhi was sitting.

    "Little girl, you scared my grandson last night. I should ask you to collect some debts today."

    The kid slowly approached with the dagger, and under a beam of moonlight slanting in, his face finally became clear.

    There are wrinkles on the child-like face, and the eyes are narrow, as if only black pupils are left, how strange it is.

    "Which girl have you harmed!"

    Li Ruoshui stared at him with wide eyes. She didn't know when the acupuncture point was unlocked, and she couldn't help expressing her complaints.

    "What did you say!"

    The little ghost was stabbed in a painful foot, no longer slow, and with a light toe he brought the dagger to Li Ruoshui's eyes.

    He smiled evilly, and the tip of the knife he raised reflected light spots in the moonlight. He looked at Li Ruoshui's black and bright eyes and said with a smile: "The eyes are beautiful, so let's take this first."

    Just as he was about to swing the knife down, his expression froze, and he suddenly retreated three meters away.

    In the place where he was standing, there was a sword inserted, the snow-white scabbard glowed brightly in the moonlight, the tassels swayed, the sword broke through the wooden floor, and it was making a clanking sound.

    Li Ruoshui stood up, looked around on the beam, and finally saw his figure above the bed tent.

    The kid couldn't hold it at first, but when he looked up and saw the road, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, his expression was serious, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were much flatter.

    Lu Zhiyao leaned on the beam and sat down with his knees bent, fiddling with something in his hands, and occasionally a streamer flashed in between.

    The luster was like spider silk under the moonlight.

    "You promised me to catch ghosts." Li Ruoshui drew his sword and retreated to the bottom of the road, only to feel bad in his heart.

    "I didn't breach the contract." Lu Zhiyao curled the corners of his lips in a relaxed manner.

    "I have experienced the thrill of fighting last time, this time it's time to teach the moves."

    trick? teaching?

    Li Ruoshui suddenly realized, no wonder he promised so simply this morning, he thought he had realized it, but he didn't expect to be waiting for her here!

    "You pit me again!"

    "Pit?" Lu Zhiyao flashed a few strands of light in his hands, and when his wrist was flipped, Li Ruoshui's limbs and waist were entangled: "This is teaching you, how many people can't ask for it."

    Li Ruoshui looked at the silver wire wrapped around his wrist and felt a headache.

    She just wanted to give this blessing to others.

    The little ghost stared at Lu Zhiyao, his mind turned around a few times, and his intuition hit a hard stubble, and he planned to slip away, but before leaving, he was entangled by silver threads on his ankle.

    Lu Zhiyao chuckled lightly, his face exposed in the moonlight was as gentle as water, and he looked down like a compassionate Buddha pity everyone.

    "It's better to stay and practice martial arts with her."

    He pulled the silver wire in his hand, and a few drops of blood immediately ooze out from the kid's ankle.

    No, no, no, he actually knows this trick, it's not written in the book.

    And looking at this dialogue, why is he more like a villain than a bad guy.

    Li Ruoshui had a bitter face, and his right hand was manipulated to touch the hilt of the sword.

    "Five fingers to hold the sword, the tiger's mouth to use force."

    Li Ruoshui had no choice but to do as he did, and the next moment he was led and pulled out his sword.

    "Point your sword to the ground, relax your body, keep your legs apart to maintain a good weight."

    Liang Shang's gentle voice from Lu Jiao sounded more patient than the best gentleman in the academy.

    He took back the silver thread on the kid's ankle and said softly, "If you want to survive, you'd better attack directly, maybe you can find an opportunity."

    The kid looked at Yan Xiao Yan Yan's road on the beam, and then looked at Li Ruoshui, whose face was full of lovelessness, gritted his teeth, and rushed up with a dagger.

    There may be a chance to survive from this girl.
