A gust of cool breeze swept by, causing the crows perched on the still trees to finally give in and flap their wings, letting out a cawing sound, "Wow------Wow------"

Suddenly, a chilly wind blew outside, causing the candles on the ground to flicker and nearly extinguish. Inside the house, a faint white mist gradually appeared, revealing a graceful and ethereal figure of a female dressed in flowing white garments.

"Sister..."

Familiar sound, Su Qian knew that it was Nie Xiaoqian who had arrived.

"Xiao Qian, my sister." Su Qian, dressed in the same white attire, sat on a pile of grass and responded in a low voice.

Xiao Qian pointed to the tightly wrapped bamboo hat covering her face and said, "Why does sister not show her true face?"

After being bitten by ants, my face became covered in rashes, and I'm afraid my younger sister will be scared if she sees it.

Xiao Qian glanced around, feeling somewhat suspicious. Could mosquitoes be this powerful?

Having been a ghost for three hundred years, coupled with Xiao Qian's more than ten years when she was alive, it wouldn't be so easy to deceive. Su Qian explained, "Sister, you don't know this, but I naturally attract mosquitoes and am easily allergic. One mosquito bite and I'll have a huge welt."

In the midst of speaking, Su Qian rolled up half of his sleeves, revealing his arm that had been preheated with a candle flame earlier. It was covered in some crumbs from the mantou he had just eaten, giving it a rather intimidating appearance.

"Just say that my older sister is exceptionally beautiful, even mosquitoes and insects want to touch my older sister's gracefulness..."

Being praised by the woman again, Su Qian felt a chill running down his spine. Helplessly, he could only flatter her, saying, "Younger sister, please don't make fun of me. When it comes to heavenly grace and beauty, even if you modestly claim to be second, no one dares to say they are first."

"Hehe..." Xiao Qian chuckled for a while before finally asking, "So, did you happen to see that Taoist from yesterday?"

Su Qian handed the cigarette box-sized chunk of gold to Xiao Qian without denying it.

Xiao Qian borrowed the gold from Su Qian's hand and sighed softly.

"Why are you sighing, little sister?"

"I originally thought that I could become a pair of ghost sisters with my older sister, but unexpectedly, humans and ghosts have different paths, and it seems that my sister is going to leave me... " Xiaolian’s voice carried a hint of sadness. Finally, with a self-deprecating laugh, she said, "Look at me, spouting nonsense. If my sister can avoid death, it is a good thing, and I should be happy for her."

"Sigh... " Su Qian also sighed heavily before finally speaking, "But I've forgotten where my own home is, I don't remember if I have any relatives, I can't go back..."

The statement was half true and half false, leaving Xiao Qian unsure of how to respond for a moment.

"Ah..."

A shrill scream pierced through the night sky, and Su Qian recognized it as the voice of the scholar he encountered during the day. He realized that it was the female ghost friend of Xiao Qian who had succeeded.

"Big sister, don't be afraid."

Su Qian asked, "Is it the scholar from the east wing?"

Xiao Qian's mouth curled into a contemptuous smile. "Hmm, this greedy and lustful scholar deserves to be disemboweled by Red Snow."

Su Qian said, "Not all scholars are so greedy for power and lustful. The scholar in the north wing is not only handsome and learned, but his character is also outstanding."

Su Qian thought to himself, "I should hurry up and go meet my lover, and complete the mission as soon as possible."

"Oh, really?" Xiao Qian asked with a playful smile. "Could it be that sister has taken a liking to that scholar?"

"Sister, please refrain from speaking nonsense," Su Qian said solemnly. Having lived for twenty-two years, although he had been pursued by both men and women throughout his life, he had always focused on his studies before entering university and paid no attention to those eager suitors.

Until he went to university and met that person. He wasn't sure if he was what others called a homosexual, even though he liked someone of the same gender as him - a man. But apart from him, he had never liked another man.

However, Ning Caichen, regardless of appearance or personality, is completely different from the person he likes.

"I really want to see what kind of man can win my sister's heart."

With that, Xiaoxian, much like when she first arrived, disappeared in a gust of cold wind.
