Brother Qin, this is Xiao Die.
As he finished speaking, Ning Caichen suddenly felt the surrounding silence. He looked around in confusion and was startled to find that everyone's eyes were fixed on one spot.
Ning Caichen froze, his hand instinctively retracting as if it had been shocked. His face turned a deep shade of crimson. "I can explain..."
However, everyone wore knowing smiles, leaving no room for explanation. The female ghost also appeared somewhat embarrassed, lowering her head slightly and shifting a bit behind Ning Caichen.
Qin Feng glanced at the female ghost, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes. He was taken aback to realize that her Destiny Energy was actually purple. What a joke! Purple Destiny Energy typically belonged to high-ranking officials of the first or second grade in the court.
This female ghost clearly did not fit that description, which left only one possibility: she had royal blood, either a princess or a county lord. Moreover, there was no trace of bloodthirst about her; she had not harmed anyone.
He couldn't help but cast an odd glance at Ning Caichen. So this is how it is—Nie Xiaoqian is gone, and now he has replaced her with another female ghost.
Yan Chixia snorted disdainfully, "Foolishness! You still read the classics?"
Then he turned to Qin Feng. "I advise you to kill this female ghost before she brings disaster upon this fool."
The female ghost's expression changed, her body trembling as she looked at Yan Chixia in terror.
Seeing her like this, Ning Caichen quickly stepped forward to shield the female ghost. "No! If you want to kill her, you'll have to go through me first!"
Yan Chixia was thoroughly enraged. "Stubborn fool! I'm only doing this for your own good!" With that, he extended two fingers and waved them.
Whoosh! A long sword flew past Ning Caichen and aimed straight for the female ghost behind him.
Qin Feng's thoughts stirred, and the Red Longsword shot out instantly, clashing with Yan Chixia's sword.
Yan Chixia's sword was knocked away, its brilliance dimming significantly. His face paled as he stared in shock at the Red Longsword. He hadn't expected this sword to be so formidable; his own sword's consciousness had vanished and would need to be re-forged.
Qin Feng retrieved his longsword and looked at Ning Caichen. "Ning Brother, have you made your decision? Are you going to take her with you?"
Seeing that Qin Feng had finally taken action, Ning Caichen felt relieved. Without hesitation, he replied, "Yes, Brother Qin. I am serious about this."
Qin Feng then turned to the female ghost. "You are called Xiao Die, right? Do you wish to follow Ning Brother?"
The female ghost realized that Qin Feng was not an ordinary person either. She glanced at Ning Caichen and finally nodded. "Yes, I am willing to follow Ning Gongzi."
Qin Feng looked at Yan Chixia, whose face was ashen, and smiled. "You see," he said, "the female ghost is willing, and Brother Ning is also willing. But you, standing by, seem unwilling. How interesting. I will protect this female ghost; do you have any objections?"
With a cold laugh, he then turned serious, pointing the hovering Red Longsword at Yan Chixia, which trembled slightly.
Yan Chixia's expression changed; he felt a strong pulse in his forehead, a sense of deadly crisis looming over him. "Hmph, I hope you won't regret this later," he said as he picked up his fallen longsword and soared into the sky on his Flying Sword. He wasn't foolish; facing Qin Feng seemed like a losing battle, so he chose to retreat.
Ning Caichen saw Yan Chixia leave and immediately smiled, approaching Qin Feng to express his gratitude. "Thank you, Brother Qin, for your help."
The female ghost also emerged, bowing gracefully to thank Qin Gongzi for saving her life.
Qin Feng gazed deeply at the female ghost and shook his head. "It's nothing; I was just considering Brother Ning's face." He then shifted the topic. "Brother Ning, have you really thought this through? Do you want to take a female ghost to the capital for the examination?"
