There was an “odd” harmony in the bloody yard .

The skulls that were stacked up previously were now arranged neatly in a few lines on the ground . All of them were facing the same direction without any flaws . It seemed that countless corpses were buried underground, leaving only the skulls above the ground . Those pairs of empty eyes stared straight at the direction where Zhou Xuan came from .
The disciple who almost vomited previously was shocked by the scene . His legs trembled and almost fell to the ground .
“What the hell!”
Ye Qingtang, who was wiping off the dirt on her hand, raised her head when she heard the scream . There seemed to be a faint smile on her delicate face, and her eyes were half-closed, looking towards Zhou Xuan and the rest .
“My fellow Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, how’s the investigation?” Ye Qingtang asked in a lazy voice . Her tone seemed to be filled with slight sarcasm .

Zhou Xuan was stunned when he saw Ye Qingtang standing there and smiling to him . She did not seem to be affected at all .
What was Ye Qingtang planning to do?
Was she really a fifteen-year-old young lady?
How could a young lady remain so calm in front of all the rotten skulls? If it was other normal people, they might be scared to death .
Besides Zhou Xuan, the other two disciples who were unhappy with Ye Qingtang now stared at her in horror .

Zhou Xuan suppressed his astonishment . He did not answer Ye Qingtang directly . Instead, he scanned through the skulls and said, “Junior Sister Ye, What is this for? The people of the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village died mysteriously . Even though you are still playful at your age, you should not play with the skulls of the dead people . ”
Zhou Xuan sounded like he was trying to educate Ye Qingtang . However, he was actually criticizing her for not respecting the dead .
Ye Qingtang sneered . She bent down and picked up one skull .
Zhou Xuan sneered secretly after witnessing Ye Qingtang’s move, but he did not show anything on his face .
“Junior Sister Ye, that’s not appropriate,” He said and frowned .

He then looked towards the Apothecary and tried to apologize .
“My Junior Sister is still young and does not know her manners well . Please understand . ”
Spirit Condensation Mountain Village was a side force of the Xuanling Sect . Under any circumstances, disrespecting the dead was out of the manner .
The Apothecary was stunned, but he did not dare to blame a sect disciple . He could only shake his head .
Zhou Xuan then looked towards Ye Qingtang and commanded . “Junior Sister Ye, do not do such unreasonable things . We are here for an investigation, not to mess around . Put back the skulls now . ”
Zhou Xuan’s command made the other two disciples dislike Ye Qingtang even more . They were surprised by Ye Qingtang’s courage, but disrespecting the dead was really inappropriate .
“Junior Sister Ye, Spirit Condensation Mountain Village is under our sect . Do not ruin our fame!” One of the disciples was displeased .
Ye Qingtang raised her eyebrows slightly . She smiled when she noticed how the rest were convinced by Zhou Xuan . She ignored Zhou Xuan’s cankered face and looked straight to the skull on her hand .
“The degree of the decay of these three hundred skulls here is very severe . However, there is no obvious wound besides normal decay . ”
