Ji Dao turned his head and saw Yu Ling coming over with a smile, sitting down skillfully beside him. Ji Dao put down the books in his hand, which were some basic knowledge about the soul master and the soul master world that he asked Qianxuan to show him.
"Do I look very old? Just say anything and ask me about this kind of thing. The last time I heard it was two years ago. You asked me to take three days off."
Yu Ling's expression froze slightly, and she didn't expect Ji Dao to remember so clearly. But this was her purpose. With such an opening, the master should not be suspicious.
"Master, can you tell me what you are looking for?"
"You will know when you see it. In short, you can see the difference at a glance. Then you just need to bring it back and hand it over to me."
"Hehe. Master, why did you choose such a place?"
Ji Dao did not show any of it, but he smiled in his heart. It seemed that Yu Ling had already pointed the topic towards the ancient castle. If Ji Dao didn't expect it, her next sentence should be to ask if he had noticed anything abnormal in the ancient castle.
When Yu Ling spoke again, it was indeed exactly the same as Ji Dao guessed. In fact, Ji Dao had never been there at all, but he just found someone there monitoring them.
"Exception? What are you referring to? Ghosts? Don't worry about these things. You are a monk, not a mortal. I remember you asked your master's wife."
Ji Dao pretended not to realize that there was someone there at all. Of course, Yu Ling was happy to see this behavior. After the topic of ghosts was brought up, the next step can be taken.
"Master, you said, if there really is a ghost after the death of a monk, why has my brother never come back to find me?"
Sure enough, it was similar to Ji Dao's guess. The other party must have used her brother as a breakthrough point. Although Yu Ling's brother's case is not well known, it is not difficult to issue such information.
"Aren't you scared? Why do you still hope he will come back?"
At this time, Yu Ling shook her head and quickly replied:
"No. I know that my brother will never harm me, and I will not be afraid even if I see him. Master, I have dreamed of my brother these days."
"oh?"
Although I know that more than 80% of Yu Ling is making a fool of herself, Ji Dao of course has to follow her intentions. Both of them are acting, but it is another matter whether they can tell that the other party is acting.
"Brother didn't say a word, but just stared at me in his dream. His whole body was covered with blood holes that could be seen by the naked eye, and his eyes were bleeding. I was really scared at that time! Master, do you think brother is coming back to find me?"
Yu Ling was carefully observing Ji Dao's expression changes. If it was really as her brother said, Ji Dao was the one who wanted to kill him, there should be some subtle changes in his eyes at this time, and he should not suspect that he was observing him.
But Yu Ling was a little disappointed. After hearing what Bai was doing, Ji Dao's eyes were not vague from beginning to end, so he treated this as an ordinary conversation.
"This dream is indeed very strange. Maybe he wants to tell you nothing."
"Well. Master, I have a heartless request now. Didn't you say that you brought your brother's body here? I want to see him, okay?"
"You can't feel at ease?"
Ji Dao asked back, Yu Ling's face froze immediately, and then nodded.
"You should remember what I told you before. I didn't let you see his body because his death was too miserable. I don't think you can accept it."
"I can accept it now! I've grown up!"
But Ji Dao shook his head:
"This is not a question of whether you grow up or not, it is a question of the nature of mind. Even a person who has lived for a hundred years, if his heart is not firm, he will collapse instantly when he sees the corpse of his relatives. Do you understand this? You are afraid of becoming like that in such an ancient castle. Can I believe you say that your heart is already mature?"
Ji Dao looked at her very seriously. Yu Ling spoke for a moment, and was speechless by Ji Dao. After a while of silence, she continued to preach:
"Then as long as I can complete your assessment, I will be able to prove myself, right?"
Ji Dao nodded, Yu Ling clenched her fist, then stood up and took a break. Looking at her back as she was leaving, Ji Dao sighed and thought to himself:
"Little girl..."
As night fell, Yu Ling went to the castle again. The two of them looked at her back and felt an indescribable emotion in their hearts.
Ji Dao stood with his hands on his back, Qian Xuan's eyes were also a little serious, she said in a deep voice:
"How long will it take you to say she will poison us?"
"It's almost. She's already a little anxious because I've given her a difficult problem and can only agree to her request if she proves herself."
Qian Xuan nodded, Ji Dao continued to preach:
"Yu Ling should tell them about my assessment tonight. For this reason, I also left a gap specifically. If they were not stupid, they would be able to find it. Once this gap is discovered, it would only be a short-term problem for Yu Ling to attack us."
"This is indeed a bit cruel to this child. We seem to be shaping her according to our wishes, cheating her into the dark, and treating our students like this, we always feel a little strange..."
A breeze blew, and both of them were lifted up. Suddenly, a ray of light shot out from Ji Dao's eyes, and then he preached:
"I may not be a teacher who will be recognized, but this is my teaching method and method. We are more cruel to her now than in the future, and we may teach her something if we are deceived by us. But if we are deceived by people in this world, no one knows what will happen. The price at that time is not that simple."
"Yuling is not an ordinary child. She is unwilling to be mediocre, so she wants to go outside to see a more exciting world. So my task is to make her stronger. It is precisely because she dare not be mediocre that we need to shape her character and her thinking ability."
"A person like me, such a teacher. Whether Yu Ling likes it or not, this is the last time I have taught her. Even if she wants to learn from me, I don't have time to teach her..."
Qianxun laughed and turned to Ji Daobao. The miserable white mask emitted a strange arc under the moonlight.
"Do you still think you are a very good teacher?"
"Do I know whether they are powerful or not? These things are evaluated by others. But for me, I will probably have very little time to teach someone in the future. I really did it with my heart. No matter what others evaluated, I really did it with my heart."
"Yeah, I know..."
......
In the castle, I looked at Yu Ling who was walking over again, and her face was a little uncertain. Although the two of them had the same expression, they were happy inside. Such a look had already predicted something.
"Did you believe what I said? Sister."
But she still shook her head. Although Ji Dao's reaction was indeed perfect, she always had a strange feeling, but this feeling still couldn't make her doubt because his expression was really normal.
"The master asked me to come here for an assessment. He said there was something here for me to take it away. And only when I got this thing he would show me my brother's body."
"He won't show you what he doesn't, because I'm here!"
Why are the two of them so sure? Because they have a bargaining chip in their hands. They have found the sarcophagus and the white corpse in their hands!
Yu Ling's expression still couldn't calm down, and she still couldn't fully trust the two people in front of her. Even though she felt extremely friendly, on the other hand, she was the master's wife who had raised her for more than ten years, and if she was just to make use of herself, she would not accept it.
The expression of "white" changed a little, but suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something. He clapped his hands and exclaimed, causing Yu Ling to look up at this place again.
"I know his purpose! You said just now that he wanted you to find something, right?"
Yu Ling nodded:
"I would like to ask if you have seen this?"
"Once we went out, maybe this was the time when your master arrived here. After we came back, we found this in a dark pavilion in the basement."
Of course this is nonsense, but they did not find Ji Dao had come to this place. So they could only guess that they came while they left to look for the sarcophagus.
But they did not find anything. It is possible that the thing Yu Ling said was hidden in a more secret place. They had not checked the place in detail, but this did not prevent them from "misleading" Yu Ling.
On the "white" hand, a red crystal in the shape of a rhombus appeared. It was quietly rotating in the air under the illumination of the fire, refracting red lights of different angles. This was the first time Yu Ling saw such a crystal, and was shocked by its beauty for a moment, and wanted to reach out to grab the crystal.
But at this time, only the other party's stern shout was heard, and Yu Ling woke up. At this time, he only saw that "Bai" seemed to have used some method to dim his light and continued to preach:
"This is what your master wants you to give her, but as long as you touch this crystal, you will be completely controlled by him!"
