After a few days of observation, Officer Chen, who had some doubts that what Qin Lang said might be true, felt that he was a fool. Instead of putting the truth of the matter on ghosts and curses, he felt that Xu Qianqian was full of doubts. She mentioned going to Qingyang Road, going to KTV for an all-night party, going back to the studio to draw on Qin Lang’s paintings, and letting them run towards the window at the back… almost all of them were led by her.

However, what made him irritable was that he couldn’t find any clues. The video of the suicide and accident in the studio seemed to say that everything was so simple and straightforward.

He also combined some psychological knowledge analysis. Xu Qianqian and others insisted that there was something wrong with Qin Lang’s painting. After their friends died, they insisted that Qin Lang did it. It is probably the follow-up to retaliating against Qin Lang for pretending to be a ghost in the haunted house for retaliating against their tricks.

A group of bear children, they should be properly disciplined! When the girl died, their excited and ferocious expressions made Officer Chen almost determine that the group of teenagers had certain psychological distortions.

And his new partner, the famous police belle, Qu Rong, said in a joking manner, maybe they were just cursed and it followed them back to the studio from Yinyang Road. As for the remaining four people who did not have an accident, maybe it’s because they hired someone to get rid of the ghosts?

Everyone listens to this as a joke, no one cares.

Friday, there is class today. Because something like that happened in the studio, no one dared to go to class for several days. So today Tan Qing took them to sketch on campus.

As for Qin Lang’s painting, Xu Qianqian and the others make rumor that it has an evil spirit on it and was possessed by a ghost so Qin Lang set the painting on fire in front of his classmates. This is how it ended. He thought that after this incident, no one in the class would care about him, even if they saw him, they would automatically run away. But he didn’t expect that someone would come to him instead.

“Qin Lang Qin Lang, can you help me see if I have had any luck recently?” Zhang Ping squeezed over, his big mouth full of nonsense.

Qin Lang stepped back. He’s still not used to being so close to him. His hand holding the pen and drawing the line stopped and he turned to face Zhang Ping. Looking at the young man sitting with Zhang Ping, he said: “You have none but he has.”

Zhang Ping wiped his face in frustration, his anticipation look instantly changed to ‘I knew it.’ After Zhang Ping and Yang Yan were almost hit by the bank robbers that day, Zhang Ping and Yang Yan talked about what Qin Lang had told him before and about the talisman.

The Yang main family are all masters of geomancy. Although Yang Yan from the side branch does not know, he still knows better than the average person that Qin Lang really saved Zhang Ping and it was not just a coincidence. So both of them expressed their sincere thanks to Qin Lang and want to become friends with Qin Lang.

When Zhang Ping carelessly announced that Qin Lang was their good brother, they started to greet him from then. When they help him without a word, Qin Lang, who had not had a friend for many years, quietly turned red and a rare smile appeared. Yang Yan, who has always been thoughtful, even came to his classes from time to time bringing snacks and small gifts to Qin Lang. The relationship between the three is getting closer.

“But it’s a rotten peach blossom1.” Qin Lang added another sentence.

Yang Yan smiled indifferently. Zhang Ping bumped into him and said happily: “That’s fine. Single dogs need to be together!”

Watching them fight, Qin Lang also smiled slightly. He smiled lightly, his pear vortex dimple on his cheeks also appeared. Lu Yuan, who was standing beside him, was initially dissatisfied that his little master was smiling at others, bent down and kissed his little dimple. Successfully pulled back his little cutie attention to him.

Qin ALng touched his cheeks with his backhand feeling a little coldness touch his cheeks. Half doubtful and half wondering, he looked at Lu Yuan, who was looking at his drawing paper seriously. His black brocade gown is incompatible with this modern society, like traveling through time and space and was amazed by his world. His eyes slowly landed on the thin lips that were always slightly raised from the other’s high nose bridge.

It can’t be…Qin Lang covered half of his kissed face, then quickly retracted his gaze and repainted.

“Qin Lang, why are you covering your face?” Zhang Ping asked.

“I was…bitten by a mosquito…” Qin Lang’s ears turned red.

“It’s winter, are there still mosquitoes?” Zhang Ping seems to be asking but also answering himself, then he turned to Yan Yan and said, “I think Qin Lang’s skin is too tender and a little fragile. I have seen several red marks on his neck for several days. Hum. Don’t you like online shopping? Buy some good ointment and warming patches for our little ones?”

“Oh, okay.” Yan Yan took out his mobile phone and clicked on the APP. When he saw Qin Lang’s flushed face, even his neck was red, his hand clicked on the APP and something came to mind. Suddenly he held back his smile, Zhang Ping is an idiot.

When class was over and everyone left, Yang Yan and Zhang Ping invited Qin Lang to lunch but Qin Lang hesitated. There are many people in the restaurant, but he rarely has two friends.

Yang Yan saw his entanglement and laughed: “Eat mutton hot pot? It is relatively dim. I also booked a private room so no one will bother you. You can also bring other friends with you.”

He bit the words of other friends a little harder. Qin Lang looked directly at Lu Yuan. He remembered that Lu Yuan came to him and he hadn’t taken him out to eat. Hearing Yang Yan said that he booked a private room, he agreed.

After the sketch, Qin Lang took Lu Yuan home. In the past few days, he has already studied those spells and seals. In addition to the nourishing soul jade, Qin Lang also prepared a gift for Lu Yuan.

“What is it?” Lu Yuan looked at Qin Lang, who licked his lips nervously. The small action of Qin Lang hand constantly rubbing on the box with his fingers, he couldn’t help but soften his expression. So cute. Is it his first time giving a gift to a ghost?

“Gift.” Qin Lang still didn’t say much. As soon as he stretched out his hands towards Lu Yuan, he stuffed the box into Lu Yuan’s arms.

The sandalwood box is not very big. Lu Yuan guessed that it was probably clothes. He opened the box, it was a vestment. The soft and pure white fabric feels better than silk. He has been here for days, Lu Yuan has almost learned about modern society through his mobile phone. And from his understanding, there are very few celestial masters who can make vestments of this level.

The vestment did no harm to him, Lu Yuan has never come across such a gift. He just didn’t know what its function was yet. He looked at Qin Lang, as if asking ‘you really want to give me this?’.

Qin Lang nodded and said: “It won’t hurt you. It can hide your ghost qi and you can walk freely under the sun with a solid entity. There is also a shadow…”

At this moment, Lu Yuan’s cold thousand year heart was moved. Shadow, this word to ghost is a long and luxurious memory. No matter how powerful they are, light can pass directly through their body. That empty feeling, although they have gotten used to it over the years, that doesn’t mean they all like it.

Born as human, although their life may not be that great, they can still remember and miss it from time to time. There is breathing, a heartbeat, temperature and down to earth reality.

Lu Yuan’s eyes were stained with a smile. He hugged Qin Lang in one hand and gently kissed the corner of Qin Lang’s slightly surprised and frightened eyes, “Thank you.”

Qin Lang blushed and moved. He bends down and picks up two bags from the sofa. This is the clothes he bought for Lu Yuan from the internet before. Through his hand, there’s no need to burn the clothes for Lu yuan, “Clothes…let’s change together.”

Qin Lang’s hand was lighter. He looked up and saw that Lu Yuan had already changed his robes. The dark overcoat grey sweater with self-restraint outfit made his always smiling and charming eyebrows a little colder, hiding his ghost aura well. The slim fit pants showed off his straight legs perfectly. Slim figure, flawless face, and innate noble temperament. At this moment, Lu Yuan is exactly like those rich and powerful modern day young masters, who were taught noble etiquette and received education from a young age.

That long hair still lazily draped over its master shoulders, which didn’t quite match his clothes. Aware of Qin Lang’s gaze on his hair, Lu Yuan waved his hand, the previously jade crown tying his ink black hair becoming a strap. At the same time, the last traces of laziness on his body also turn cold.

“So handsome…” Qin Lang couldn’t control his voice.

Lu Yuan allowed the little cutie to appreciate his appearance. He stepped on the floor, he looked down at the shadow under his feet and was stunned for a moment.

He looked up again. Seeing Qin Lang’s simple and clear eyes of joy, a smile unconsciously rises.

“You can control it as you like. You can appear in front of people when you want to or not.” Seeing that Lu Yuan was very satisfied, Qin Lang also revealed the small dimples that he usually hides.

After not allowing Lu Yuan to return to Qinglan jade, Qin Lang, as he promised, prepared a room for his roommate Lu Yuan. There is a Yin gathering formation in the room for Lu Yuan to cultivate. Now Qin Lang took out the soul-cultivating jade and engraved the formation on it. Lu Yuan finally seems to stop looking at him as a food reserve or a blood bank.

What Qin Lang did was the orthodox ghost control way. Ghost masters don’t need to use restraint to tame ghosts but treat them as powerful souls and let them have a good cultivation environment. The ghost becomes the ghost master’s right arm, loyal to the ghost master. This is the real ghost control.

Qin Lang said before that he would not treat Lu Yuan as a servant, although Lu Yuan was moved, the favorability was still negative. Until this moment, that remaining doubt and distrust finally dissipated. His favorability finally reached 20.

The warmth of the soul nourishing jade, the formation in the room, and this vestment that turn his ghost aura into a solid body, all make Lu Yuan get rid of the inferiority of being a malicious ghost. He can control those violent negative emotions and gradually embark on the path of ghost cultivator.

Thus, the most immediate benefit in addition to being stronger is being able to have a close contact with Qin Lang without having his ghost qi invading Qin Lang body at every turn.

The side branches of the Yan family are mainly responsible for filling the property forces of the Yang family. They are engaged in various industries. Those who are closer to the main family are in charge of antique jade. Yang Yan and his family belong to the branches so they were responsible for catering.

This hot pot restaurant is theirs. The ambience and taste are first class.

Yang Yan booked it early, before dinner, at half past three in the afternoon. He plans to eat for over an hour. There were not many people in the store when it was close to 5 o’clock. Qin Lang, who was afraid of crowds, would feel more at ease.

Of course, Qin Lang was happy with such an arrangement. He also secretly sighed that it was not unreasonable for the original owner to like Yang Yan. He’s just like a sweet little angel.

“Who is this…” when the private room were opened, it was the first time that Zhang Ping, who was sitting inside, saw such astonishing beauty like Lu Yuan. When he asked Qin Lang, his expression was a little pale.

“His name is Lu Yuan…he…he is my senior apprentice brother.” Qin Lang picked his cuff, his expression a little nervous. After all, he rarely lies.

Yang Yan noticed Qin Lang’s small movements. He didn’t break it but coughed so that Zhang Ping could put away his stupidity. He passes the menu to Qin Lang and turns to say to Lu Yuan: “Hello, brother Lu. My name is Yang Yan and his name is Zhang Ping, Qin Lang’s classmate.”

“Um.” Lu Yuan looked at Yang Yan, frowned and sat next to Qin Lang.

Yang Yan, who didn’t know that his body that was filled with pure yang caused Lu Yuan to be disgusted, sat down in confusion. This senior brother doesn’t seem to like him? He touched his face, there seems to be nothing dirty on his face.

The slow Zhang Ping didn’t notice it, instead, he asked eagerly: “Then senior brother Lu can also tell fortune and draw talismans?”

“No. Just kill ghosts.” Lu Yuan took the tea that Qin Lang poured for him. Good tea. The fragment aroma finally softened his unhappy expression when he came in.

“Amazing!” Zhang Ping immediately paid attention with a pair of small sparkling eyes.

Yang Yan also respected Qin Lang and the cold senior brother. Even in his family, they mainly focus on geomancy. The risk of catching ghosts and destroying malicious spirits is high. Only if someone has enough sincerity and begged the door in person, only then will someone pay attention.

In the private room, it seemed that Lu Yuan had come to eat hot pot for the first time, he also still has long hair. Yang Yan and Zhang Ping guessed that this senior brother might had just come down the mountain. And he seems much more temperamental than those Taoist priests who also have long hair. He was a little cold, a little proud, and a bit more out of this world.

The aroma of hot pot is overflowing. Qin Lang adjusted the plate and handed it to Lu Yuan first. After the vegetables were cooked, they were served to Lu Yuan first. Once or twice is nothing, after all, he is Qin Lang’s senior brother. But Lu Yuan has never used the public chopsticks to fish hot pot by himself, every bite was given to him by Qin Lang. Qin Lang gave it to him while explaining what the food was. Then ask him what he likes and dislikes.

Qin Lang, who has been busy with Lu Yuan, made Lu Yuan feel like he saw the little eunuch who worked hard for the emperor in ancient times. Yang Yan, who guessed the real relationship between the two, was overjoyed with his mind supplement. On the other hand, Zhang Ping, who has a thick nerve, sighed repeatedly: “Qin Lang, you have a really good relationship with your senior brother.”

“Even so…”

“Mm. I can only eat what he gave me.” Qin Lang hadn’t finished speaking yet before Lu Yuan responded.

Zhang Ping glanced strangely between Qin Lang and Lu Yuan, then nudge Yang Yan’s ribs and whisper: “Ugh. Old Yang, do you think senior brother Lu words sound weird?”

“Heh.” Yang Yan replies to his buddy with a ‘are you a fool’ everyday look. It’s so obvious and you can’t see it?
