Chapter 1570 - 1465: Chu Xi to the Rescue
"Ghost?" Lei Xiuzhu’s face grew paler, but knowing she was the leader, she couldn’t panic and shouted, "Where!"
"Over there..."
Ma Ji pointed under the bed, Lei Xiuzhu looked over and shouted, "Where is the ghost! There’s clearly nothing there!"
The three of them stared closely, indeed, the area under the bed was empty, where was the strange head from just now?
"Senior Sister... Junior Sister Huang wasn’t lying! We really saw it!" Luo Yong, his face extremely pale, said, "And we also heard ghost wails, very frightening!"
"Alright, I got it!"
Lei Xiuzhu forced herself to suppress her fear.
"Senior Sister, why did you suddenly come to us?" Ma Ji asked, still shaken.
"I saw a pair of hands in the well," Lei Xiuzhu said with a strained voice.
"The well?" The three simultaneously looked at the well in the yard.
No hands, no ghostly shadows, everything seemed calm.
However, the hearts of the four at the scene felt like they were being twisted with unease.
"Us encountering such situations simultaneously surely isn’t coincidental... This place is so strange!"
Huang Cuicui’s voice quivered a little as she spoke.
"What is that? Could it be a ghost?" Out of fear, Luo Yong deliberately spoke loudly.
Ma Ji looked around, always feeling that evil eyes were watching him from the shadows.
"Ghost! We are cultivators, how could we believe in ghosts and spirits? And if there really is a ghost! Of course we’d slay it! To protect the people!"
Lei Xiuzhu’s face was full of righteous indignation, but in reality, she was just putting on a brave front.
Speaking of which, it’s quite peculiar.
She is fearless in nature, her only soft spot is her fear of ghosts.
This dates back to when she was mischievous as a child, Sect Leader Lei had no choice but to use ghost stories to scare her.
Therefore, ghosts are considered Lei Xiuzhu’s psychological shadow.
"That’s right, how could there be ghosts?" Huang Cuicui also smiled guiltily, glancing around, accidentally seeing someone behind the flower bushes, her eyes widened as she shouted, "There’s someone in the bushes!"
"What!" The other three quickly looked over.
They saw two figures suddenly spring up from the bushes, like phantoms, jumping toward the outside of the yard.
"So fast! Is that a human?"
Huang Cuicui was scared silly, hiding behind Ma Ji, very frightened.
"Doesn’t look human!" Luo Yong stammered as he shouted, "How can people move so fast! Moreover, they look like they’re floating!"
As soon as his voice fell, from not far away came a shrill wail.
"Ka-ka-ka!"
Alongside the wail, there was a heart-rending scream.
This sound appeared, and all four were shocked, their faces filled with fear.
"What a terrifying sound..." Huang Cuicui’s face went completely pale.
"Should we go take a look?" Ma Ji asked with lingering fear.
As soon as he spoke, the three of them looked at Lei Xiuzhu.
At the scene, Lei Xiuzhu was indeed the leader.
"No!" Lei Xiuzhu shook her head decisively, "This yard is very strange, I always feel a threat approaching..."
Before she finished speaking, Huang Cuicui interrupted loudly, "Senior Sister! You feel the same as me! I also feel there are ghosts watching us from the dark!"
This statement was unintentional.
However, heard by the three, it was like a demonic chant.
Instinctively, everyone shivered, their backs tingling, drenched in cold sweat.
"Let’s get out of here first, go find Chu Xi!"
Lei Xiuzhu decisively gave the order.
"Why look for that fool!" Amidst the crisis and fear, Huang Cuicui hadn’t forgotten her hatred for Qin Hao.
"He’s our fellow disciple, we can’t let him encounter mishaps!" Lei Xiuzhu said coldly.
"Even in such circumstances, Senior Sister Lei is still concerned about fellow disciples, such noble sentiment is admirable!" Luo Yong sweated coldly, awkwardly complimenting.
Lei Xiuzhu’s face turned colder, her eyebrows twitching as if she had constipation.
Outsiders didn’t know, the biggest reason Lei Xiuzhu didn’t want to check the source of the sound was due to fear.
The so-called search for Chu Xi was merely an excuse to leave this troublesome place.
After all, in this yard where ghostly shadows abounded, eerie and strange, they should leave first and talk later.
"Let’s go!"
The longer they stayed, the more Lei Xiuzhu grew uneasy. After giving the order, she pointed outside the yard, "Let’s go!"
"Okay!" Luo Yong took the lead, although puzzled, "Why did Senior Sister Lei ask me to go first? Is she planning to cover the rear? Truly noble!"
What he didn’t know was that Lei Xiuzhu’s body was now somewhat stiff with fear, lacking the courage to scout ahead, so she had Luo Yong lead the charge.
The group quickly left Elegant Garden, moving through the vast residence.
Along the way, eerie screams and wails kept erupting.
Outside the shadows of the trees, it was exceptionally gloomy, seemingly hiding countless demons and ghosts.
Moreover, a chilling wind occasionally blew over, as if from the Arctic frost.
The four, afraid, moved very carefully and slowly, extremely cautiously.
To their relief, they knew the location of the woodshed, not far from the main gate.
They had some impression of it upon entering through the main gate.
Soon, the woodshed appeared in sight, and inexplicably, they all felt calm, as if safety had arrived.
However, just then, an unexpected change occurred.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a voice burst from the nearby flowers.
The four were so frightened their souls flew away, jumping high with alarm.
"Ghost!"
Huang Cuicui was the first to scream, unable to maintain composure anymore, quickly running toward the woodshed.
Seeing this, how could the other three hold back, they quickly chased after.
Soon, all four rushed the woodshed door open, quickly squeezing inside.
Inside the cramped woodshed, all four were panting incessantly.
"Close the door!"
Out of fear, Lei Xiuzhu’s voice was extraordinarily loud.
"But the door is broken..." Luo Yong’s voice was filled with anguish.
"Then put it back up!"
Lei Xiuzhu shouted even louder.
"Alright!" Ma Ji, who was relatively brave, grabbed the door and placed it against the entrance, holding it firmly.
Once isolated from the outside, Lei Xiuzhu and the others finally calmed down.
"Seems like we’re saved..." Huang Cuicui sighed with lingering fear.
"We came to find Chu Xi, where is Chu Xi?" Luo Yong asked, and all four simultaneously scanned the room with their eyes.
Eventually, they saw Qin Hao lying in the corner.
"Chu Xi!" Huang Cuicui shouted.
In the corner, Qin Hao opened his eyes, his face full of confusion, "Wretched woman, why are you here?"
Though scolded, Huang Cuicui showed no sign of anger, quickly walking over, her face flushed with indignation, "We almost got scared to death, and you’re still sleeping!"
