Chapter 21
Gu Qianyang’s gaze was fixed on the little loli in front of him.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, appearing as if he felt something, or as if he felt nothing, and the air in the hall fell into a moment of stagnation.
Xiao Qin Liu’s heart was pounding rapidly at this moment.
Every second felt incredibly long for Xiao Qin Liu.
Just then, there was a loud “bang” from outside the window.
This was followed by the panicked screams of the servants.
Gu Qianyang immediately withdrew his hand and said to the flustered servants.
“What’s going on outside?”
Facing Gu Qianyang’s question, the servant quickly explained.
“Master! The kitchen… the gas tank in the kitchen exploded!”
“The gas tank exploded?”
Gu Qianyang was slightly taken aback, but at that moment, he suddenly felt that familiar aura of resentment.
It was the aura emanating from the Night Walker!
Gu Qianyang’s hand froze, his expression changed drastically, and without bothering with Xiao Qin Liu, he turned and strode towards the door.
“Everyone with me! Xie Ying, you stay and watch her.”
Hearing Gu Qianyang’s words, Xie Ying reluctantly flicked her tail and sat on the sofa.
After the sound of footsteps gradually faded, Xiao Qin Liu finally let out a long sigh of relief, her legs went weak, and she sat down on the sofa.
Her clothes were already soaked in cold sweat.
“Why so nervous, little one?”
Xie Ying suddenly sidled up sarcastically and said.
“Are you hiding something?”
Hearing Xie Ying’s words, Xiao Qin Liu’s heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained calm as she looked at the other party.
“Hiding what?”
“Heh…”
Xie Ying didn’t speak, but extended her paw and gently pressed against Xiao Qin Liu’s throat.
“Tell me, is someone hidden in your room?”
To this, Xiao Qin Liu remained unfazed. At this moment, she saw Liu Haoyu return to the living room from the main entrance.
Could the gas explosion just now have been caused by him?
“Not talking?”
Seeing Xiao Qin Liu remain silent, Xie Ying continued.
“My hearing is very sharp. When I was in the living room… I clearly heard you in your room, seeming to be talking to someone.”
“…”
Liu Haoyu also heard Xie Ying’s words, but this man wasn’t too nervous.
No one here could see him, so even if they wanted to search Xiao Qin Liu’s room, they wouldn’t be able to find anything…
No… those books?
“Don’t worry,” the Black Book said at this moment, “Xiao Qin Liu has mastered those two books in the past two days, so I’ve already destroyed them all. These people won’t find any clues.”
After receiving the Black Book’s reply, Liu Haoyu nodded.
As expected of his best good brother, he always did things reliably.
“Still not talking?” Xie Ying’s face was less than ten centimeters away from Xiao Qin Liu, the two were almost touching. “If you don’t talk, I’ll take it as your confirmation.”
At this moment, Xiao Qin Liu was still not flustered. She merely looked calmly at Xie Ying in front of her and then said.
“No, if you don’t believe me, go and look.”
Seeing Xiao Qin Liu unyielding and resolute, Xie Ying sat back in her original position.
She crossed her legs and groomed the fur on her tail.
“I’m not interested in who you’re hiding. After all, no matter how you struggle, the result won’t change. Cherish the present, little one.”
Xie Ying and Gu Qianyang were clearly not completely on the same page. Seeing that the other party was no longer pressing, Xiao Qin Liu regained her composure.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded from outside. Gu Qianyang walked into the hall, his gaze heavy. He said to Xie Ying as if facing a great enemy.
“The Night Walker seems to have found its way here. Xie Ying, take this little one back, and then come out with me.”
“Okay.”
After receiving the order, Xie Ying stood up and, once again, like carrying a chicken, carried Xiao Qin Liu back into the room.
Then she threw her in without any affection.
Fortunately, Liu Haoyu steadied Xiao Qin Liu, otherwise, she would have fallen again.
The footsteps outside gradually faded. Liu Haoyu tidied up Xiao Qin Liu’s wrinkled clothes. The latter remained silent for a moment before asking Liu Haoyu.
“Did you do it?”
“It was a simple matter.”
Liu Haoyu smiled.
He had naturally anticipated that Gu Qianyang would check Xiao Qin Liu’s spiritual power, so he had set up an illusion beforehand.
Although his ability was much weaker compared to Gu Qianyang, who had become a ghost.
However, for Gu Qianyang, who was still human, the difference was not that significant.
Therefore, if not inspected carefully, it would be difficult to detect any anomalies in Xiao Qin Liu’s body from the illusion he had set up.
Coupled with detonating the gas tank in the kitchen, it diverted their attention to that.
Only Xiao Qin Liu still had one question. She looked at Liu Haoyu and asked.
“What is this Night Walker they’re talking about?”
“That…”
Liu Haoyu took out the pair of red embroidered shoes from his backpack.
“Here, it’s released by this thing.”
“This is?”
Xiao Qin Liu reached out and placed her hand on the embroidered shoes. The moment she touched them, her eyes widened slightly.
Now a Ghost Exorcist, she naturally sensed the formidable power of these embroidered shoes.
As well as the aura that was almost of the same origin as the Night Walker.
Looking at Xiao Qin Liu’s shocked yet slightly confused gaze, Liu Haoyu smiled with satisfaction.
“The power within this is of the same origin as the Night Walker’s abilities, so it can release some similar resentment and divert their attention elsewhere.”
After getting the answer, Xiao Qin Liu suddenly froze. She seemed to recall something and asked Liu Haoyu.
“Can I borrow these embroidered shoes to take a look?”
“Of course.”
After all, it was a small request from his girlfriend, so Liu Haoyu naturally wouldn’t be stingy.
After handing the embroidered shoes to Xiao Qin Liu, the little loli examined them left and right.
The more she looked, the brighter her gaze became, as if she had discovered a new continent.
Seeing Xiao Qin Liu so excited, Liu Haoyu asked with some curiosity.
“What’s wrong, are there any problems with these shoes?”
“No… no problems…”
Xiao Qin Liu took a deep breath, her gaze fixed on the soles of the embroidered shoes.
Having stayed with Gu Qianyang for so long, although she had never directly seen the book that sealed the Night Walker.
She had indeed seen the sealing formations Gu Qianyang had drawn for practice.
Those formations were extremely similar to the formations on these embroidered shoes.
In other words, as long as she could decipher the formations on these embroidered shoes, she could master the ritual for sealing the Night Walker.
Wasn’t this like finding something without looking for it, it came to her!
