Mo Tingye looked at Ruan Xia with a serious expression.

Ever since he met Lu Tian today, he felt that the boy had a bad look in his eyes, and always felt that he would stab him in the back.

"well enough."

Ruan Xia thought about it carefully, "He knew you hired me, so he just said you were not a gentle boss."

Ruan Xia didn't intend to let Mo Tingye know if there was more. After all, it was just a casual comment from Lu Tian. She still knew that if he said too much, he would be wrong.

"Then what did you say?"

Mo Tingye's voice seemed a little nervous.

"Of course I won't allow him to slander my friends!"

Ruan Xia patted her chest with a proud look on her face, and even vaguely expected Mo Tingye's praise.

She thought Mo Tingye would be very happy when he heard her words, but unexpectedly a trace of confusion flashed across his face and he whispered, "Are they just friends..."

"What?"

Ruan Xia looked at his ears with confusion.

Is there something wrong with my ears?

No, since she started practicing cultivation, her hearing and eyesight are better than ordinary people. There is no reason why she can't hear clearly!

"What were you talking about just now?"

Ruan Xia raised his head and stared at Mo Tingye's face seriously.

Suddenly meeting Ruan Xia's innocent eyes, Mo Tingye suddenly became uncomfortable and his eyes wandered, but he did not skip the topic.

"I mean, am I just your normal friend?"

As soon as he finished speaking, even Mo Tingye didn't realize that a thin layer of sweat had formed on his palms.

"This..."

Ruan Xia scratched his head and seemed to be thinking seriously.

"of course not!"

One sentence made Mo Tingye's eyes sparkle with light, and he suddenly looked at Ruan Xia with hope.

"Of course you are no ordinary friend to me, you are a close friend who has been through life and death!"

After saying that, she was afraid that what she said would dissatisfy Mo Tingye, so he reached out and patted Mo Tingye on the shoulder with loyalty.

"I have eyes myself. Of course I know what kind of person you are. Others' words will not sow discord between us."

Ruan Xia felt that what she said was absolutely accurate, but she still saw the light in Mo Tingye's eyes gradually dimming.

"What's wrong?" she asked in confusion.

Mo Tingye shook his head, "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired from work today."

"Let's not talk about it for now. I'm going back to rest first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Tingye left as if fleeing, leaving Ruan Xia alone with confused eyes.

What did she say wrong just now?

Ruan Xia looked at Mo Tingye's closed door, and for a moment he didn't understand what he had just said wrong.

She clearly said everything from the bottom of her heart, but why did Mo Tingye look even sadder than before?

Forget it, maybe he is really tired.

Ruan Xia comforted herself like this and put today's events behind her in the blink of an eye. I went to the kitchen to get an apple, ate it and hummed a song before returning to my room.

Listening to Ruan Xia's humming voice gradually disappearing, Mo Tingye leaned against the door. The loneliness in his eyes is about to overflow.

Since meeting Ruan Xia, Mo Tingye just wanted to use his ability at first, but he was gradually attracted by her frankness and mystery.

Gradually, Ruan Xia's position in his heart became more and more different, and he found that he seemed to be unable to leave her.

The chance encounter with Lu Tian in the restaurant today, although neither of them said anything, made Mo Tingye feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

He could feel that Lu Tian had an extraordinary interest in Ruan Xia.

So he wanted to take this opportunity to know what his status was in Ruan Xia's heart.

"The friendship between life and death..."

Reciting these four words silently, Mo Tingye couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Ruan Xia's words directly blocked his way.

Although he was unwilling to do so, Mo Tingye always respected Ruan Xia.

Since she regards him as a close friend of life and death, he will silently accompany her as a close friend of life and death.

Until she turned around and could see him.

The next day.

When Ruan Xia woke up and went downstairs, Mo Tingye was already downstairs reading the morning newspaper.

When he saw her coming down, he greeted her with a smile, completely different from yesterday.

"You look in good spirits today."

Ruan Xia walked over to Mo Tingye and sat down, drinking porridge and teasing him.

"Yeah, I went to bed early yesterday and figured out a lot of things. I feel better today."

Mo Tingye admitted openly and put down the morning newspaper in his hand, "I'm going somewhere with you today. I may need you to do me a favor."

"okay!"

Ruan Xia readily agreed. She had been running around outside these days and had not absorbed Mo Tingye's imperial aura wholeheartedly for several days.

She was thinking about finding some excuse to follow Mo Tingye today, but now that Mo Tingye spoke, she saved a lot of things.

After breakfast, Ruan Xia followed Mo Tingye to a development zone.

It looked like it was a real estate project that was in the middle of construction. For some reason, all the workers were absent.

Ruan Xia counted with his fingers and understood the reason.

"A new building was supposed to be built in this area, but for some reason, no matter how careful you were during construction, rubble would fall from high altitudes."

"A number of workers have been hospitalized because of this incident, so work here is temporarily suspended."

Ruan Xia nodded and glanced left and right.

Although the sun was shining brightly in the morning, the whole area was filled with a ghostly atmosphere.

In the eyes of ordinary people, although it is no different from normal, once you walk in here, you will feel a sudden coldness.

In Ruan Ruan Xia's eyes, this place was like dark clouds covering the sun, dark and strange.

"This place used to be a mass grave, and the yin energy was already relatively strong. Even if a village was later built on top of it, the previous dead souls were not saved."

"Not only that, there should have been several murder cases in that village before. The deceased died in a miserable state. In this place where the mass graves are full of darkness, they turned into evil ghosts to take revenge."

As she spoke, Ruan Xia's eyes scanned the entire development zone. Wherever she looked, she was sure that there should be three ghosts inside.

"Let's go in and have a look."

Ruan Xia raised his head and was about to move forward when he was stopped by Mo Tingye.

"Safety is the most important thing."

Mo Tingye put the helmet in his hand on Ruan Xia's head.

Even though he knew that with Ruan Xia's skills, those stones would not be able to hurt her, he still wanted to take safety measures.

Ruan Xia put on the helmet obediently, "You stay here, I can go there by myself."

Leaving Mo Tingye and Yuan Qi where they were, she strode toward Li Gui.

This area was deserted due to the trouble caused by the evil ghosts. When Ruan Xia came in, the evil ghosts had not noticed yet and were all wandering aimlessly.

Realizing that there was a human presence, Li Gui's ghostly aura suddenly increased, and his dull eyes were replaced by hatred, and he came straight towards Ruan Xia.

Affected by Li Gui's resentment, the half-built building was buzzing and shaking desperately, and many stones fell down.

Ruan Xia deftly dodged the stones falling from the sky and finally landed on the stones in the open space.

"Let's all come together and save some energy for me."
