“Hey, what’s wrong with everyone? It’s just going to Huangcheng Hill, not sending her to her death.
Besides, with me and the two senior sisters accompanying, Miss Xi will be fine,” Fang Qi Er quickly stepped in to mediate.
She saw that as soon as Senior Sister Qi Yu mentioned taking Xi Fuhong away, everyone’s face turned gloomy, as if Senior Sister was going to sell Miss Xi.
“No, this time only Senior Sister Qi Yu and Miss Xi will go,” Qin Ke Yun replied.
Instantly, Shi Cuiyan and Fang Qi Er shouted in unison, “No way!!”
“My dear sister is simple-minded.
What if Xiao Qiyu pushes her into a ghost grave to bully her?” Shi Cuiyan protested.
“Miss Xi can’t fight.
If something happens on the way, won’t it drag Senior Sister Qi Yu down?” Fang Qi Er worried.
Luo Qingcheng, breaking her silence, frowned and said, “I’ll go too.”
Before the two involved could respond, Qin Ke Yun waved her long sleeve, her expression solemn, “I’ve discussed with Senior Sister.
The yin and corpse energy at Huangcheng Hill is too heavy.
If we go down to the cellar, ordinary people might attract vengeful spirits.
Only someone like Senior Sister Qi Yu, with high cultivation, can come out unscathed.
But Senior Sister Qi Yu can only look after one more person, so we ask Miss Xi to bring the Black Dragon Tail Ring to shorten the time in the cellar through the dual ring sensing.”
After speaking, everyone present fell silent.
Shi Cuiyan had no reason to let Xi Fuhong withdraw, Luo Qingcheng wouldn’t let the Black Dragon Tail Ring be easily transferred, Fang Qi Er, despite her worries about Xiao Qiyu, didn’t dare to defy Qin Ke Yun, and Chen Tanghe only cared about the White Tiger Ring Head, so he had no objections.
“Miss Xi?” Xiao Qiyu’s gentle pressure made her avoid eye contact.
Seven people, fourteen eyes, Xi Fuhong was suffocated by the heavy atmosphere.
Frowning, she wanted to refuse but couldn’t speak.
Time seemed to stop, waiting for her response.
Xi Fuhong took half a step back, the Black Dragon Tail Ring on her chest softly ringing.
Lowering her eyes, she bit her lip, troubled, and said:
“Everything as Miss Xiao arranges.”
About a hundred miles south of Tian Yu City is Huangcheng Hill.
Xiao Qiyu asked Chen Tanghe to prepare two fine horses.
She stood in front of the horses, drawing symbols with one hand, lightly tapping the foreheads of the two horses.
Animals are more sensitive than humans, especially horses, which are highly spiritual mounts, more likely to see so-called ghosts.
To prevent the horses from being frightened after entering Huangcheng Hill, Xiao Qiyu cast a spell to cover their spiritual eyes.
“Senior Sister Qi Yu,” Fang Qi Er handed over a package, frowning with some unease, “The yin energy at Huangcheng Hill is very heavy, especially at night when ghosts run rampant.
Please be careful, don’t disappear suddenly like last time, or Ke Yun and I won’t dare to report back to Bi Xuan Palace and Master.”
“Thank you for your concern, junior sister.
I know my limits.” Xiao Qiyu smiled at her, gently patting her head.
Qin Ke Yun stepped forward, handing her a sheepskin map.
Xiao Qiyu nodded with a smile.
Qin Ke Yun, unlike Fang Qi Er’s childish temperament, was calm and reliable in her actions, an excellent disciple of Bi Xuan Palace.
Her help in finding the White Tiger Ring Head truly shared a lot of the burden.
“Where’s Miss Xi?” Xiao Qiyu asked, placing the package on the horse’s back.
“She’s still in the courtyard, tangled up with Miss Shi,” Qin Ke Yun sighed helplessly.
Hearing this, Fang Qi Er put her hands on her hips and grumbled, “Sigh, that Miss Xi is clearly a burden.
The Luo Family Head knows this, letting her go will only trouble Senior Sister Qi Yu.
Why not just give the ring to Senior Sister? It’s really…”
“Junior sister, the Luo Family Head insists, there must be a reason.
Since it’s decided, there’s no need to change it,” Xiao Qiyu gently comforted.
She didn’t think bringing one or two more people would be troublesome, nor was she afraid of being dragged down.
Since the matter was settled, her task was to complete it, nothing more.
“Dear sister!” Shi Cuiyan’s bell-like voice came from afar.
Xi Fuhong ran ahead, her face flushed, unsure if it was from shyness or anger.
She didn’t carry a bundle, but Shi Cuiyan behind her held one, “Dear sister, take this with you.
Huangcheng Hill is a dead man’s hill, there’s no food for sale.
If you get hungry, there’s dry food inside, I also put in a fire starter and some clothes.”
“No need, Leader Chen said Huangcheng Hill is only two hours away, no need to bring so much,” Xi Fuhong awkwardly shook her head.
She saw the bundle Shi Cuiyan prepared for her, packed full with who knows what inside.
Last night, Xiao Qiyu said to travel light, so Xi Fuhong could only politely decline Shi Cuiyan’s kindness.
