After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 279 Making the Deal

Ye Luwen, who was frightened by Tao Yao, felt terrible and hurriedly found the high priest.

The high priest saw Ye Luwen, who looked pale, and quickly asked, "Khan, what happened to you?"

"High Priest... I... I actually saw a ghost. I saw a female ghost with a pale face and sticking out her tongue next to that Xu Yingying."

Ye Luwen quickly told the high priest everything that had just happened.

After hearing this, the high priest suddenly had a strange expression on his face.

female ghost?

Is that the Taoyao he sent to monitor Xu Yingying?

Since it was a female ghost sent by myself, why would she scare Ye Luwen?

Could it be that Taoyao has rebelled?

impossible.

Thinking of this, Ye Luwen fell into deep thought.

No, he had to find an opportunity to give Tao Yao a good beating.

"Please rest assured, Khan. I will help you check and see what kind of monster dares to do this to you, Khan." The high priest said respectfully.

Ye Luwen was very excited when he heard this, "Okay, okay, go quickly, go quickly."

After the high priest returned to his room, he immediately summoned Taoyao.

"Master, you are looking for me!" Tao Yao looked at the high priest respectfully and asked.

The high priest saw Taoyao's eyes and asked, "Taoyao, have you done anything bad behind my back?"

The high priest's question made Tao Yao feel bad immediately.

Did he know what he ordered?

Thinking of this, Tao Yao's eyes flashed with guilt.

But Tao Yao still insisted: "Of course not, you are my master, how dare I do anything bad behind your back?"

"Oh? Really?" The high priest sneered.

Immediately afterwards, the high priest waved his hand, and Tao Yao suddenly collapsed to the ground, curled up in pain.

"what--"

Taoyao let out a scream of pain.

The high priest smiled with satisfaction when he saw this. "Did you see that? This is the fate of betraying me. Do you understand?"

"Taoyao, I believe you are a smart person. You should know very well what to do and what not to do."

Tao Yao endured the severe pain in her body, then struggled to get up from the ground and replied in a low voice: "Yes, Master, I understand."

Taoyao's humble and pleasing appearance instantly pleased the high priest. He felt that Taoyao's ability was not enough to cause any trouble.

"Okay, you continue to monitor Xu Yingying! Step back!" The high priest waved his hand with a tired look on his face.

"Yes, Master."

After saying that, Tao Yao retreated.

Inside the palace, Xu Yingying was sorting out the information she had collected recently.

As a result, as soon as she looked up, she found Tao Yao appeared in front of Xu Yingying with a pale face. Tao Yao's soul had become much fainter, and there were even signs of dissipating.

Xu Yingying was immediately shocked. "What happened to you?"

"The high priest suspected that I betrayed him, so he taught me a lesson." Tao Yao answered truthfully.

"What? There is such a thing. How did he find out?" Xu Yingying asked.

"When I was playing a prank with Ye Luwen together with you, my true identity was revealed and Ye Luwen saw me, then he told the high priest." Tao Yao said helplessly, she didn't expect Ye Luwen to report Xiao Hei.

Xu Yingying thought about it and realized that Taoyao had become what she was now in order to help her, so she had an unshirkable responsibility.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying took out a knife and cut a shallow cut on her arm, then stretched her hand in front of Taoyao.

"This is..." Tao Yao asked puzzledly.

"My blood can stabilize the soul, so drink it quickly! I have an unshirkable responsibility for the fact that you have become what you are now. Just consider it as a little compensation from me!" Xu Yingying looked at Tao Yao very seriously.

Seeing Taoyao didn't move for a long time, Xu Yingying immediately urged, "Drink it quickly!"

Seeing this, Tao Yao felt too embarrassed to refuse, so she lay down beside Xu Yingying and started sucking on her arm.

After a while, Tao Yao's soul became visibly stable.

After seeing Taoyao's condition improve, Xu Yingying couldn't wait to ask Taoyao, "Can I trouble you with something? I have a friend named Li Siqi, who was imprisoned in a cell by Ye Luwen. Can you help me check on him? I'm worried about him."

Tao Yao nodded and agreed without hesitation when she heard this, "Okay, I'll take care of this matter."

After saying that, Tao Yao left.

Half an hour later, Tao Yao came back.

When Xu Yingying saw Tao Yao coming back, she stepped forward and asked impatiently, "What happened?"

"They didn't mistreat your friend in terms of food, drink, and daily necessities, but judging from the scabbed wounds on your friend's body, he must have been beaten by them before, but it has healed now. Also, your friend's mental state is not very good."

Tao Yao answered truthfully.

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

When Xu Yingying heard this, her brows immediately furrowed tightly, and she became extremely worried about Li Siqi's situation. After thinking about it, she felt that she should do something.

After much thought, Xu Yingying felt that she should make a deal with Ye Luwen, so that she could demonstrate her value and indirectly protect Li Siqi.

Xu Yingying did what she said. She gathered a group of wandering ghosts around her and asked them to harass Ye Lvwen, causing him to have nightmares from time to time.

Sometimes this group of wild ghosts would often play tricks on Ye Luwen and make him unlucky from time to time, such as spraining his ankle when he was walking normally, or something falling from the table and hitting him.

After being teased by the wild ghosts, Ye Luwen was completely exhausted. In addition, he had hardly slept well during this period, which made Ye Luwen look particularly haggard.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying estimated that the time was almost up, so she took the initiative to find Ye Luwen.

In the study room.

Ye Luwen looked at Xu Yingying who came to visit him on her own initiative with fear in his eyes, without any of the excitement and excitement he had before.

"What are you doing here?" Ye Luwen asked with a wary look in his eyes.

"My king, I am here to make a deal with you. I guess you are not having a good day today! Look at the dark circles under your eyes." Xu Yingying said bluntly.

"What kind of deal do you want to make with me?" Ye Luwen looked at Xu Yingying warily and said.

At the same time, he was actually very afraid of the ghosts around Xu Yingying. He didn't believe that Xu Yingying came to him for any good reason.

"Khan, I can be more than just your concubine. I can also do other things for you, such as exorcising ghosts for you, praying for rain for you, or driving away the bad things around you." Xu Yingying said patiently.
