Chapter 509: Talking in His Sleep in Broad Daylight
Xie Qiao smiled. Her voice was like the sound of a stream, slow and pleasant to the ear.
Li Qingyu, who was across from her, widened his eyes when he heard what she said, “H-How did you know?!”
Xie Qiao pursed her lips and did not say a word.
Elder Li was also surprised. He could not help but recall Prince Ning Bei’s words.
Prince Ning Bei said that this master was proficient in communicating with both worlds, and was much more powerful than the experts from the Yuxu Temple outside the city. He had to treat her with respect.
At the time, he thought it was a little exaggerated, but now, she managed to guess the immortal in his grandson’s dream directly. She was indeed powerful!
Xie Qiao did not guess the appearance of the immortal. She said that because the immortal was hovering next to Li Qingyu.
Her pale face seemed to have been painted with a layer of pink. Her cherry red lips looked as if she had just drunk fresh blood. Her eyes were without pupils, her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her feet were suspended in the air. Her body was initially covered in a white feather coat, but for some reason, it was stained with a lot of blood.
Her fingernails often brushed a strand of Li Qingyu’s hair.
Tsk, what an immortal.
Xie Qiao’s gaze seemed to be indiscernible as she looked to the side. She smiled, but her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. It made people feel uneasy.
Li Qingyu’s face flashed with a hint of uneasiness, “What exactly are you looking at?”
Xie Qiao held the tea cup and drank faintly, “Junior, don’t be scared.”
Li Qingyu was suddenly so furious that his heart ached.
Where did such a master who deserved a beating come from?
Elder Li saw Xie Qiao’s reaction. He was very worried.
Could the master have seen something evil?
Elder Li thought for a moment and asked the others to leave first. When the room was empty, he carefully asked, “Master Mo, is there anything wrong with my grandson?”
“How long has he been like this?” Xie Qiao asked.
“I asked the errand boy. He said that he had been reading about strange things for more than a year. It was only because he became more and more obsessed recently that he told me he wants to travel,” the old man added.
It was common for scholars to travel.
The number one scholar in the world, Li Shiyan, was often nowhere to be found.
However, when the great scholars traveled, it was to broaden their vision. He was different. He was looking for immortals?!
Where did the immortals come from? He was talking in his sleep in broad daylight!
“Your grandson’s problem… is not too serious. Fortunately, his body is strong. Although some of his Yang energy has been taken away, it will be replenished in the future,” Xie Qiao said.
“Taken away?!” The old man almost slipped from his chair.
“Who did you have his Yang energy taken away?! Nonsense!” Li Qingyu, who had been eavesdropping outside, kicked open the door and rushed in. He pointed at Xie Qiao and said angrily.
Xie Qiao smiled, “You, no?”
Li Qingyu’s face was flushed and he was furious.
He was embarrassed and angry. He wanted to chase this master who had appeared out of nowhere immediately!
“You devil who spews nonsense. You should be dragged out and burned alive!” He became angry from embarrassment.
“Master, can you tell me more?” Elder Li asked persistently as if he had not heard what his grandson had said.
“He touched something that he shouldn’t. That thing is a vengeful spirit. It has been with him for a long time, and it is very persistent. The night is full of dark energy. Young Master Li is affected by it, and he may be able to see some traces of the vengeful spirit. His reality is blurred by his dreams, resulting in what happened to him now.
“After being influenced by the vengeful spirit for a long time, his temperament will naturally change, especially when it is a vengeful spirit. The vengeful spirit’s resentment will naturally enter his body, and that will make him more stubborn and irritable,” Xie Qiao added.
When Elder Li heard that, the doubts he had were instantly resolved.
His eldest son’s health was lacking, so he had stayed by his side to raise this grandson.
He was very modest and well-behaved during the first two years, but he had changed throughout the past two years.
Sometimes he would boast arrogant lies, and the way he spoke and did things was as if he was a different person.
