Exorcism

Daliang Shen Xiuming was so nervous that he couldn't sleep. He turned over and sat up on the kang, and said, "Brother Xiaoqiu... you... are you still complaining about me?"

There were originally four teenagers living in the room, but now only Xiaoqiu and the Shen brothers are left. The other one has gone to another room to avoid suspicion.

Before Xiao Qiu could speak, Erliang Shen Xiuwei rushed to say: "Brother, you are too...honest. It's not like you don't know Yun San'er's character. Why did you confess to him in front of so many people?" ”

Shen Xiuming blushed. Fortunately, it was dark and no one could see him. "I didn't want to either, but Taoist Zhang was helping the prince. When he stared at him, who dared to resist?"

"Brother Xiaoqiu just dares."

Shen Xiuming didn't want to quarrel with his brother anymore. He looked at Xiaoqiu's position in the darkness and said, "Brother Xiaoqiu, you have offended both the prince and Taoist Zhang. You are so brave. You dare to call him 'faint San'er' in public. Today At least ten people secretly asked me about the origin of 'Haun San'er'."

"Then did you tell them the truth?" Shen Xiuwei asked.

The confrontation in the afternoon ended without any issue. Seeing Xin Youtao's expression change, Zhang Lingsheng immediately ordered the children to disperse, not giving Xiao Qiu a chance to continue humiliating the prince.

"Well, having said that, everyone can guess it without saying anything."

Shen Xiuwei snorted disdainfully. He stood firmly by Xiao Qiu's side in the afternoon and did not regret it at all afterwards. "Let's see how he still shows off after everyone knows that Yun San'er is actually a coward."

Xiaoqiu lay on her back on the kang, "What did Xin Youtao say to you later?"

Shen Xiuming's face turned red again. After the confrontation in the afternoon, he and several young men from Yelin Town were called by Xin Youtao to talk about something. He was the last one to come out of the prince's room. He wanted to mention this matter later. Xiaoqiu asked directly, "It's nothing, the prince is just... Brother Xiaoqiu, don't fight with him. The person the prince hates the most is Shen Hao. He said that as long as you are willing to walk over during breakfast tomorrow If you admit your mistake to him, he will forget it and give you many gifts. You have forgotten that Shen Hao has been your enemy since he was a child. Why do you stand up for him? He has the support of his own uncle and does not need help from others. We have already done this. He was homeless and was finally taken in by Pang Shan. Stop causing trouble. The prince is a prince after all, and everyone on Pang Shan must be looking towards him. "

Xiao Qiu listened quietly. The two have always been best friends. Whenever Xiao Qiu is impulsive, only Shen Xiuming can persuade him to look back, but not this time.

Xiaoqiu also sat up from the kang, patted Erliang Shen Xiuwei on the shoulder, and stopped him from talking, "Daliang, I call you Shen Xiuming in front of outsiders, but I still call you Daliang in private."

"Whether in public or in private, I will call you Brother Xiaoqiu." Daliang was a little emotional.

"The whereabouts of Yelin Town are unknown, and there are only nine of us left. We are Yelin Town, you, me, and Shen Hao are no exception. Xin Youtao wants to make friends, I am willing, and I will never mention what happened at that time again, but Xin Youtao What we want is not friends, but followers and servants. Daliang, we can't lower our heads. If we lower our heads today, we will never be able to lift them up again. In that case, Yelin Town will be gone. Please help me return the dagger to Xin Youtao. Tell him, I will. It’s not like the other side of the river.”

When Xin Youtao became a "prisoner" in the forest, Xiaoqiu took away a dagger. He felt that it should be returned to its original owner now, but Erliang Shen Xiuwei was very reluctant, "Why return it? Yun San'er took away Fang." Didn’t you also return Fang’s oil lamp?”

Xiaoqiu took out the dagger and handed it to Shen Xiuming. The room was quiet, and the three teenagers sitting on the kang were all thinking about something.

"Can I stay here tonight?" A voice outside the door ended the silence in the room.

It was Shen Hao. I don't know how long he had been outside the door.

"Of course." Xiaoqiu said, making room to the side.

Shen Hao opened the door and came in. He put a set of bedding on the kang, took off his clothes and lay down. The room returned to calm. After a while, he said, "Thank you, Brother Xiaoqiu."

Daliang Shen Xiuming fell asleep and never spoke again.

The arrival of Xin Youtao completely broke the original structure in the library. Before that, dozens of children were naturally divided into small groups and interacted with each other. The nine teenagers from Yelin Town had a slightly higher status because of the large number of people. , but that’s it, there is no bullying of anyone, and there is no hatred.

Prince Nishijie requires everyone to make a clear choice, either to side with him or to be classified as a minority.

Xin Youtao didn't get up to practice boxing in the morning, and the division between the children was not obvious yet. When he appeared in the dining room in the front yard, everything was different.

Xiaoqiu, Fangfang, Shen Hao, and Shen Xiuwei sat at the same table. The other children stayed as far away from them as possible. Shen Xiuming and other five Yelin Town teenagers sat in the corner, away from the center of the fight. They were still in the " During the observation period", he is not qualified to get too close to the prince.

Xin Youtao first occupied a table alone, scanned the dining room with his eyes, designated two children to sit opposite him, and then accepted the thanks in turn while eating. The gifts he generously distributed yesterday had a great effect, and Pang Shan Nearly half of the disciples recruited are from the Xijie Kingdom, so they naturally have some respect for the prince of our country.

Xiaoqiu didn't care about the palpable neglect in the dining room. She and Erliang Shenxiu could only talk and laugh. Fangfang laughed and said nothing, while Shen Hao seemed very depressed, feeling that he had brought down his three companions.

Several village women delivering meals noticed today's anomalies and carefully pretended not to know. Only the village woman with high cheekbones kept looking around, her eyes full of curiosity. Delivering meals to the hotel was originally a boring job. The work is a little more interesting now.

Xin Youtao changed his strategy and stopped confronting the stubborn young man from Yelin Town directly. Instead, he adopted a roundabout strategy, which won a great victory in the evening of the same day.

Shen Hao's uncle went and came back. At noon, he asked the villagers to call his nephew out. This time, the conversation lasted longer. Shen Hao didn't walk into the dining room until dinner time. He seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. He looked depressed and dragged his steps. He didn't have the bearing of the second young master of the Shen family at all. He hung his head on his chest, looked at no one, and came straight to the prince Xin Youtao.

"Your Highness..."

"I said, everyone is an equal Taoist friend in Pangshan Daotong, don't call me Your Highness." Xin Youtao probably knew that this scene would happen, so he had already made a posture of sitting upright, as if what was placed in front of him was not rice and vegetables, but delicious Wang family feast.

"Friend Xin, please forgive my past recklessness and ignorance. I didn't know your identity at that time. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to do it even if I had a hundred guts..."

The three people at Xiaoqiu's table couldn't stand it anymore. They put down the food they hadn't finished, got up and left. Few children noticed them. Everyone was shocked by Shen Hao's sudden surrender, and felt that the prince should not be offended.

In the study, Erliang Shen Xiuwei walked back and forth indignantly, "Ershuan is such a bastard, we are on his side, but he... he is such a bastard!"

Fangfang was also a little confused, "A cultivator shouldn't be like this. When everyone arrives at Yangshen Peak and really starts to practice, maybe... maybe their state of mind will change, and they don't have to compete with each other."

"Xin Youtao wants to turn everyone into his slaves." Xiaoqiu said that he and Xin Youtao didn't have a deep hatred, but he just didn't want to break the bottom line, "I won't bow to him."

"Me neither, I won't bow to Yun Saner even if I die." Erliang Shen Xiuwei rubbed his belly, "But next time, let's not leave too early, let's finish the meal, it's a waste to leave it there."

Fangfang laughed out loud, "Anyway, we won't provoke him. After all, this place belongs to the Pangshan Taoist sect. Even if King Xijie comes in person, he can't force everyone to listen to him."

"Is there such a rule? You have to tell me about it." Erliang Shen Xiuwei suddenly became more confident and listened to Fangfang's description of the contents of the book with unprecedented patience.

After dark, Xiaoqiu and Shen Xiuwei practiced bone-strengthening fist in the yard for half an hour before going back to their room to rest.

Daliang Shen Xiuming moved away and no longer lived with his brother and good friend, but Shen Hao did not. He lay on the kang quietly, as if he had fallen asleep long ago.

Shen Xiuwei snorted and slept on the other side of the kang, and Xiaoqiu had to lie between them.

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Hao cried and cried loudly. Shen Xiuwei despised him at first, but later felt sympathy and advised: "Forget it, there is nothing to be sad about. He is a prince, and it is not too shameful for you to admit your mistakes."

"My uncle forced me." Shen Hao sobbed, full of grievances and had nowhere to confide in, so he could only confide in the two people in the same room, a.co "He was a minor official in Xijie City. I was afraid of the prince's revenge, so I had to... After you left, the prince asked me to sit next to him. He gave me food and touched my head, as if... as if I was his puppy. Everyone saw it. I know they were laughing at me in their hearts." "It turns out that having an uncle is not always a good thing." Shen Xiuwei's sympathy increased a little more. "You were forced to do it. There was nothing you could do. But why did you go back to sleep in this room? If Yun San'er knew about it, he would bully you again." "He ordered me to come back." Shen Hao stopped crying and felt even more embarrassed. He sat up, took out something from the quilt, put it on the kang and pushed it to Xiaoqiu. "He asked me to give this to you, saying that unless you apologized in public and admitted that you were a thief, and that the "three faintings" were all lies you made up, he would not take back the dagger, let alone forgive you. He also said..." Shen Hao muttered, full of disgust and hatred for the role he was playing at the moment. "What else?" Xiaoqiu asked, wanting to know how Xin Youtao wanted to distort the facts. "He also said that if you don't apologize, then we'll have a public duel. He wants to prove that he is very capable and that you are a liar. He won't faint easily."

Xiao Qiu was silent for a while. The young men in the same town were wooed, conquered and defeated by Xin Youtao one after another. This made him calm down and think carefully about the current situation. He made three different decisions and rejected them three times. Until he felt that there was no other choice, he replied: "Then let's have a duel."

After that, Xiao Qiu took back the dagger and fell asleep.
