Li Jue told Chu Liang a story.

The protagonist of the story is Situ Yan, an ordinary girl. She is not beautiful, but her family is well off and she lives a prosperous life.

Ben is happy enough to live a happy life.

Unfortunately, two years ago, a fire broke out in Situ Yan's home. Although she escaped with her life, half of her face was burned away, leaving ugly scars that will never fade away.

They were all classmates in the Gengzi Class of Nanshan Academy. Ever since Situ Yan was disfigured, the classmates were afraid of her appearance. Although she would cover her face with a veil... and leave thick hair to cover the left half of her face, after all, she could not

Completely covered.

Some naughty classmates began to bully her frequently and wanted to force her to leave Nanshan Academy.

Zhang Conghui would loudly call her ugly every day... Wu Shaoan would often hit her with paper balls... Chen Da knew that she was particularly afraid of fire after that incident, and would often scare her with burning hay... Yan Xiaohu would ask her every month

I need five taels of silver...

Situ Yan thought about giving up. She didn't want to go to the academy anymore. At this time, it was Li Jue who encouraged her.

That's right.

The classmates in the class either bullied her or dared not look at her, but Li Jue was the only one who was sincerely kind to her. Li Jue, who had always been taciturn, and Situ Yan, who gradually became autistic after being burned, seemed to have a sympathy for each other between the same kind.

He would encourage Situ Yan to come to the academy bravely, help her with her missing homework, and stand up for her when those bad guys bullied her...

Although the result is often that he also becomes the target of bullying.

They had a close friendship before Situ Yan was burned, but they became good friends after she was burned.

Li Jue thought that by being like this, he could slowly help Situ Yan cheer up.

But he didn't expect that one day when they were reading together by the lake, he fell asleep unknowingly... When he woke up, he found that he was tied up by Situ Yan!

Situ Yan tied Li Jue's hands and took out a knife, with a scary light shining in her eyes.

She said that she already fell in love with Li Jue. As long as she scratched Li Jue's face and turned him into a "monster", then they could be together forever.

Li Jue tried to dissuade her, but she seemed hysterical and ignored his words completely. She just wanted to make him become the same "ugly" and "monster"...

Thanks to Li Jue's frantic struggle, he finally broke free before her knife came close. He pushed Situ Yan away, called her a madman, turned around and ran away, never daring to look back at her again.

The next day, I heard the news that Situ Yan committed suicide by drowning at the lake.

Li Jue was confused.

He didn't know whether he was right or wrong, why he had been treating her sincerely but got such a reward in return, and whether the words he called her crazy were the last straw that broke her...

Seven days later, the bodies of Wu Shaoan and Zhang Cong were also found in the lake.

Everyone in the academy was speculating whether Situ Yan's resentful spirit had come back to seek revenge, and Li Jue felt the same way.

definitely is!

She must be back, and everyone who has bullied her will be retaliated against.

But he didn't know... would he become the target of her revenge?

Li Jue was very scared.

…

When Chu Liang walked out of the room, he felt a little complicated. This is indeed a very heavy story, but practitioners still have their own responsibilities after all.

Lin Bei was waiting outside. When he saw him coming out, he asked, "How's it going?"

"Since the deaths of Zhang Cong and Wu Shaoan, Chen Da has never been to the academy and has been hiding at home... Yan Xiaohu has gone his own way, but he probably hasn't been able to go out in the past two days..."

"If Situ Yan turns into a resentful spirit, he will probably appear by the lake at the back of the academy..."

"I'll go there to check it out. Just stay and watch Li Jue."

Chu Liang briefly told Lin Bei what he had asked about, and then planned to go to the back mountain of the academy to explore.

"Okay, leave this to me." Lin Beidao: "You should be careful when dealing with the resentful souls alone."

"Don't worry, Situ Yan didn't have any cultivation skills during his lifetime. Even if he turns into a resentful spirit, it won't be difficult to deal with him." Chu Liang replied.

The light of the sword was dazzling, so he chose the slightly slower but simpler way of flying with the wind.

At this time, the city should have been closed at night, but for practitioners, it would save trouble. If it is daytime, and you have to worry about disturbing the people when flying around, you can just take off at night and be done.

When we arrived at the mountain behind the academy, the night was getting darker and there was no one around. The shadows of the trees were slanting and the wind was moaning. It seemed that there were many people hiding in the night and rustling.

It's perfect for a haunted night.

Chu Liang hid himself in the bushes so as not to reveal his vitality, for fear of disturbing the grass and alerting snakes, so he waited quietly until midnight.

But before I had to wait too long, I heard a roaring wind.

Anyone?

Chu Liang used his consciousness and only caught an afterimage not far away.

It seems to be the back of a woman.

Came so early.

Chu Liang carefully gathered his energy and flew forward, sword in hand.

But when they came to the place where the woman's figure flashed just now, there was no trace of her.

Um?

Even ghosts cannot disappear for no reason...

There is no trace of gloom around.

While I was wondering, as soon as my feet landed on the ground, I heard a sound of breaking through the air above my head.

laugh--

A emerald green bolt descended from the sky, it seemed like a sword light, but also like a strong energy!

"Who is it?" Chu Liang raised his hand and raised his sword to greet him.

There was a roaring sound and strong wind, which shattered all the fallen leaves in a radius of several feet!

Only then did he see clearly that the weapon attacking him was not a long sword, but a jade ruler. The quality of the jade ruler was undoubtedly far better than his own flying sword. During the exchange, his cultivation level was almost the same as that of his opponent.

, the flying sword body trembled.

Just one blow.

The man holding the jade ruler turned over in the air again and landed about ten feet away.

Chu Liang did not pursue him, because this man's true energy was so powerful that he obviously could not be a ghost.

It turned out to be a tall woman, dressed in a black outfit, which made her figure even more graceful, and her breasts were extremely prominent. Her complexion was fair and tender, reflecting the moonlight.

"Jiaoxi Song?"

"Chu Liang?"

Both of them exclaimed in surprise.

It turns out that the person who made the sudden attack just now was none other than the female teacher during the day, Song Qingyi.

But……

Song Qingyi's chest didn't seem to be so big during the day, but in the middle of the night, it soared so much... It's really strange.

After looking at each other, the two people asked in unison: "Are you a practitioner too?"

After a pause, he said at the same time: "What are you doing here?"

Song Qingyi's face turned red, and then she said with a straight face: "Don't imitate me!"

Chu Liang could only smile slightly, raise his hand, and make a "please" gesture.

"I saw something was wrong with you before. Where did you come from as a cultivator?" Song Qingyi asked.

"I am a disciple of the Shushan Sect. I came to Nanshan Academy...actually I was invited to protect a student in the academy." Chu Liang answered truthfully, "Where is Professor Song?"

"I come from Jiangnan Junzi Hall..." Song Qingyi also said: "There is a mysterious case in Nanshan Academy, and it is up to us Confucian people to solve it. We are just worried about alerting the snake and making it inconvenient... so I enrolled as a teacher."

I see.

No wonder this teacher is so young.

Chu Liang said: "It is really not my Shushan disciple's place to get involved in this matter, but I have just learned some news about the matter of loyalty, so I came to the back mountain lake to check it out. Since Song Jiaoxi is here,

I must have understood what happened to Situ Yan."

Song Qingyi nodded and said: "Yes, I have been here for the past two days and nights, but I haven't seen any movement... It was only today that I saw a sneaky figure, so I took action against you. I hope you won't be surprised..."

"It doesn't matter." Chu Liang shook his head slightly and said, "Since our goal is to solve this mystery, can we exchange the information we obtained?"

What he thought was that Song Qingyi, as a figure in the academy, might know some inside information that Li Jue, a student, did not know.

Song Qingyi did not reject it and nodded gently, "What do you want to know?"
