After all, the tomb was still a little dark. When they reached the top, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing. Without so much evil energy, it felt much more comfortable.
Of course, there were other ghouls.
Xie Qiao picked up her soul-summoning bell and started to ring it.
The ringing sound was clear and crisp. It was completely opposite to the sound of the ghoul ringing the bell. Xie Qiao’s bell made people feel at ease.
Some ghouls had already run away.
However, it was not a problem. After all, there were many ghouls that were stained with blood and energy in this world. It would be the same even if they were caught in the future. With such a large mountain, even if she wanted to form a formation to capture all of them, it would be impossible.
What she could do was to catch what she saw.
There were still quite a number of ghouls left on the mountain.
Perhaps it was because these ghouls did not expect that the Grand Immortal they were talking about had been captured by Xie Qiao.
“Queue one by one. Those who don’t listen and want to run away will be punished by the talisman. Think about it yourself.” Xie Qiao’s words scared them.
In fact, it would be quite troublesome to deal with so many ghouls if they were to attack at the same time. Xie Qiao would have to waste the talisman stained with blood, but she bet that these ghouls did not dare to attack.
Sure enough, after being lured over by Xie Qiao’s soul-summoning bell, these ghouls looked at each other in dismay.
Even two of the ghouls that wanted to resist stayed obediently after seeing that the other ghouls were not moving and they knew that the odds of winning were low.
Xie Qiao took them one by one.
Those who were stained with blood and those who were not stained with blood were treated differently.
She treated the former a little cold, but when faced with the latter, her attitude was quite lenient. Of course, compared to those ghouls in the capital who were obedient and did not do anything, they were treated worse.
These ghouls that were not stained with blood just… did not have time to harm people.
Xie Qiao spent the entire afternoon doing that.
She was a little tired, and her legs were trembling. Wiping the sweat off her forehead, she sat on the rock and looked at the sky.
“Master Mo, I wanted to say just now, is there… something dirty on your face?” Xie Pinggang pointed at Xie Qiao’s forehead.
“Something dirty?” Xie Qiao was stunned for a moment, then she reached out to rub her forehead.
With this rub, she grabbed a piece of “skin” .
Everyone was shocked.
When the master came out of the tomb, they had already noticed the thing on the master’s forehead. It was just that the master was busy at that time, so they did not dare to speak. However, they did not expect that with this rub, the piece of skin actually fell off?!
It was horrifying.
Xie Qiao’s breathing stopped. She quickly covered her head, dragged the bamboo basket, and rushed toward the tall pile of weeds on the side.
She stumbled and fell with a thud.
Zhao Xuanjing was about to help her, but he heard Xie Qiao shout, “Don’t come over!”
Zhao Xuanjing looked at her small body helplessly. She struggled on the ground for a while, then got up with difficulty and stubbornness.
Finally, she hid behind the bushes and rustled. He guessed that… she was reapplying her makeup.
“Your Highness, does Master have some skin disease?” Xie Pinggang frowned and thought for a while, then he smacked his lips. “It doesn’t look like it. Could it be that… she’s in a disguise?”
“How would I know?” Minister Xie was actually wise when he hoped that he would be foolish.
“Aren’t you her junior brother?” Xie Pinggang was extremely bold.
“It’s normal for a woman to care about her appearance,” Zhao Xuanjing said casually.
However, when he said that, Xie Pinggang could only think of the worst. “Your Highness, you mean… Master is actually not good-looking, or she has already been disfigured, that’s why she is so secretive?”
What else would it be?
She could not possibly be a great beauty who could not take it and insist on putting on a disguise to look ordinary, right?
That did not make sense either!
