Of course Xia Qing is not afraid.
He was rejected by Ye He, and his expression showed a bit of irritation, as if to save face, he urged: "Let's go quickly."
However, in Ye He's eyes, this completely verified his guess.
Xia Qing is indeed afraid of ghosts!
Ye He complained softly in his heart: "If you are afraid of ghosts, you are afraid of ghosts. Why are you so fierce? What's wrong with being afraid of ghosts?"
System: [Yes, it’s a real double standard.]
For some reason, Ye He actually heard a bit of a strange feeling from the system's mechanical sound.
Before Ye He could react, Xia Qing turned around and continued walking forward. The tenderness shown in that moment seemed to be just an illusion of Ye He's.
Because she was still immersed in the shame of being rejected, Xia Qing returned to being too lazy to talk to Ye He during the rest of the journey. But from time to time, he would secretly turn his head to look at Ye He, and then turn his head angrily after meeting Ye He's gaze, like a girlfriend who was having a tantrum but wanted to be coaxed.
The two quickly walked to the hall. Compared with the corridor, the light in the hall was much better.
Before he even got close, Ye He heard an energetic voice: "The master will be arriving with his guests soon. I hope everyone will cheer up and do their part well..."
There was already a row of people standing in front of the stairs in the hall, both men and women. The men were all wearing the same standard valet clothes as them, while the women were wearing maid uniforms with long skirts covering their ankles, and their expressions were expressionless.
There was also a middle-aged man standing in front of this row of people. Although his hair was gray, he was tall and tall, and his blue eyes looked cloudy because of his age. He seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly stopped talking, turned his head to look in the direction of Ye He and Xia Qing, and immediately frowned: "Why so slow? Come here quickly."
The others followed the housekeeper's line of sight, and their eyes immediately focused on Ye He who was standing at the door.
Xia Qing also noticed their gazes and was inexplicably unhappy. She stood in front of Ye He, turned to look at the housekeeper, and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "I wasted some time on the road."
After hearing Xia Qing's explanation, the housekeeper said nothing more and asked them to return to the team first.
One of the servants stepped aside to make way, and Xia Qing walked straight over, while Ye He stood at the end of the team.
When the butler saw the two people returning to the team, he immediately continued the topic where he had just left off: "Now I will arrange the tasks..."
Xia Qing, Ye He, and the other two maids were all assigned to greet the incoming master and guests. Some of the other maids were called to clean the guest rooms, and some to work in the kitchen or garden.
As if remembering something, the housekeeper suddenly warned: "Some of you are new here. If you don't understand anything, you can ask the seniors who have worked here for a long time. Don't violate the master's taboos."
As soon as he finished speaking, the system's voice sounded in Ye He's ears:
[By the way, the host must take good care of the tasks assigned by the butler, and do not make the host angry, otherwise there is a risk of being fired midway and not getting a penny.]
Ye He, who was still carefree at first, suddenly became serious: "It's too outrageous to say that I'm going to be dismissed. How can I not be allowed to continue to shine in this position?"
He thought about asking Xia Qing later to see if he knew what the master's taboos were.
After the housekeeper finished his instructions, he left in a hurry, and the servants dispersed. Ye He noticed that Xia Qing and two servants were gathered together, muttering as if they were talking about something, and Ye He was too embarrassed to disturb them.
Just as Ye He was thinking hard about who he should talk to, a pretty maid came over. She was the one who was chosen to greet the guests like him.
The other party greeted Ye He with a smile: "Hello, my name is Su Lingling."
"Are you sure that person is an NPC?" A tall and thin young man standing face to face with Xia Qing noticed the dissatisfied look on his face and reluctantly moved away from Ye He's back.
Xia Qing deliberately brought the two people to the corridor. After making sure that Ye He could not be seen, he threw a glass ball-like prop out. The glass ball immediately enlarged when it hit the ground, covering the three people, and they could discuss it safely and boldly. , don’t worry about those NPCs or members of other groups hearing it.
Xia Qing crossed his arms and said impatiently: "Of course, I tested it, and he doesn't even know the background of this copy."
The reason why he suddenly told Ye He about the dungeon just now was because he wanted to test the other party, and Ye He's reaction proved that he was just an NPC who didn't understand anything.
Another girl took over the conversation: "Yes, how can there be novices in this dungeon? And the strange look on Su Lingling's face when he looked at him doesn't look like someone in their team."
"Okay, don't forget that in addition to completing the main mission this time, the most important thing for us is to get Duke Cesar's notebook. It is a special item rated as SSS and cannot fall into the hands of Su Lingling and her team." When the mission was mentioned, Xia Qing's expression suddenly became serious: "Her captain probably used a prop that can change his identity. I think there is a high probability that he is the upcoming host or guest. We have to be careful."
The two people naturally nodded again and again. Just when Xia Qing was about to let them leave first to complete the tasks assigned by the housekeeper, the tall and thin young man suddenly smiled ambiguously: "Deputy team, you are now an adult. Do you want to try it with that NPC?" ?”
Xia Qing, who was still looking impatient, instantly stiffened. Of course he knew what the young man's words meant.
They got involved in this horror game for various reasons. They ran around in the dungeon in order to complete the mission and get the chance to return to the original world. Therefore, many nervous people vented their desires on the beautiful NPC. .
Xia Qing had heard about this kind of thing. If it were the past, he would have scorned it, but now...
It would still be a bit tricky if Ye He was a player, but if the opponent was an NPC, Xia Qing didn't have to think so much.
Xia Qing wanted to refuse, but when he thought of Ye He's gaze that looked like a lover when he looked at him, his body softened inexplicably.
A strange feeling emerged in his heart. He wanted Ye He to just smile at him, but he couldn't help but imagine what Ye He's beautiful black eyes would look like when they were filled with tears.
I always feel that Ye He looks good when he cries. He can casually wipe the tears from the corner of the other person's eyes with his fingertips, and then let Ye He stick out the tip of his tongue to lick them away. When he was walking in the front because he was angry, he turned around and accidentally saw Ye He sticking out his tongue. The other party only poked out a little pink tip of his tongue, but Xia Qing's mind went blank for a moment, and he hesitated for a long time before looking away with difficulty.
The young man's eyes had seen through everything, and he whispered in Xia Qing's ear: "Vice-captain, look at his skin that is so tender, as if he can leave traces with just a little force, who is your opponent..." "
Before the young man finished speaking, Xia Qing's face suddenly darkened.
Seeing that Xia Qing seemed to want to punch him, the young man ran away quickly. But Xia Qing didn't catch up with him as usual, he still stood there with a slight blush on his cheeks.
Su Lingling is a very talkative girl. She said that when she saw Ye He looking for someone in confusion, she guessed that the other person wanted to ask about the owner's taboos. It happened that she had already done some research, so she wanted to share it with Ye He.
Seeing Ye He listening carefully after expressing his gratitude, Su Lingling sneered in her heart.
According to the inertia of the dungeon, some of the taboos she heard from other servants were true and some were false. In order to avoid violating the taboos and dying, Su Lingling thought of using Ye He and another maid who was welcoming the guests to explore the way. Anyway, these two were just Just NPCs.
Su Lingling's eyes fell on Ye He in front of her, and she thought it was a pity for her to look like this.
After talking about the taboo, she stroked her long hair, looked around the wall, and said with a smile: "It's strange that there is no portrait of Duke Cesar here."
Ye He had no idea what Su Lingling was thinking. He had felt that something was missing in the hall before, but now after Su Lingling reminded him, he realized that the walls were bare and there were no paintings or photos hanging like other houses.
Ye He: "Maybe Duke Cesar doesn't want to face the paintbrush?"
System: [... I seem to have only heard of people being reluctant to face the camera.]
Ye He had a smile on his face and pretended not to hear what the system said.
"But forget it if the Duke doesn't have a portrait, doesn't the lover also have a portrait?" Ye He said casually. After listening to Xia Qing's words, he also became a little curious about the Duke's lover.
Su Lingling tangled her fingertips around the ends of her hair and smiled: "Yes, it's just that it's all hidden, after all -"
She suddenly approached Ye He and breathed like a blue: "That's Duke Cesar's lover."
Ye He's body froze, and just when he was about to retreat and distance himself from Su Lingling, he heard an angry shout: "What are you doing?!"
This familiar voice...
Before Ye He could turn his head, he saw Su Lingling being pulled away and replaced by Xia Qing.
Xia Qing had gone somewhere with those few people just now, and he didn't expect that they would suddenly appear now.
Xia Qing didn't expect that when she turned out of the corridor, the first thing she saw was that scene: Su Lingling and Ye He were so close, and Ye He seemed to be blushing...
Ye He met Xia Qing's angry gaze, and felt that the other person's expression at this moment seemed to be that of someone caught in a trap.
Could it be that Xia Qing likes Su Lingling
Ye He was startled and subconsciously turned to look at Su Lingling who was standing aside. After noticing that Ye He's eyes turned to Su Lingling, Xia Qing also looked at him fiercely.
Su Lingling's organization and Xia Qing's organization were already in conflict. Su Lingling wanted to run away, but Xia Qing didn't want to let Su Lingling go just because of old and new grudges.
Seeing that a fight was inevitable, Ye He quickly said: "Wait a minute, Master Xi Jing, don't forget this taboo!"
As soon as Ye He's words came out, Xia Qing calmed down and stood back beside Ye He.
As for Su Lingling, she was able to escape the disaster for the time being. She consumed a lot of props in the last dungeon, so she would not be Xia Qing's opponent if she really took action.
System: [The master is not here again.]
Ye He said seriously in his heart: "What conflict does the master's presence with me have with me always thinking about him?"
System: [If sweet words can be converted into money, you must be a millionaire.]
Ye He was overjoyed: "I'll tell you a few more words, can you give me a discount for buying my life?"
The system is selfless: [Don’t listen, I have diabetes.]
Ye He: "... Then you should stop looking in the mirror in the future."
Even though it knew there was a trick in Ye He's words, the system couldn't help but be fooled: [Why?]
Ye He: "Because you are too sweet."
The system didn't speak for a long time, but Ye He felt much better.
Xia Qing's murderous intention towards Su Lingling had just subsided when the housekeeper stood at the top of the stairs. He glanced at the three of them and said in a cold voice: "Why are you making such a fuss? The master is coming soon. Are you not ready to greet the master?" !”
The author has something to say:
System... I'm speechless.
