Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

Lian Li felt a little gossipy in his mind, but when he thought about what Hou Yuanpeng might have done in Qu Tingquan's martial arts competition, especially taking credit for Qu Tingquan's achievements on Zhao Honglan, Lian Li felt that it would be quite shameful if this person really did it.

After throwing all this mess out of his head, Lian Li began to think about what Hou Yuanpeng had just said.

If he had no problem understanding, what these words revealed was that these industries in Wulian City were acquired by Hou Yuanpeng himself later.

Although this person gave a reason, Lian Li felt that there was no way to clear himself of the fact that there was something wrong with this person.

Hou Yuanpeng’s house in Wulian City is not small, and he has many servants, so many that it doesn’t look like they were just sitting there idle after acquiring property.

If Hou Yuanpeng doesn't live here usually, it proves that this place is very important to him.

The room was spacious enough, and when the rooms were allocated, I'm not sure if it was Hou Yuanpeng's instruction, but each of the twenty or so people who came was given a room to themselves.

Lian Li and Yun Huizhou were no exception.

However, they thought that there were enough guest rooms for ordinary people, and if the guests did not make any special request, each person would have his or her own room. Moreover, although the two people were not in the same room, they were adjacent rooms, which was not suspicious, so they just made a note of their doubts.

After the servant who led the way left, Yun Huizhou did not go into his room, but closed his eyes in the yard and listened to the movements around him.

Lian Li breathed softly and didn't dare to disturb him.

About two minutes later, Yun Huizhou opened his eyes.

Lian Li hurried over and looked inquiringly.

Yun Huizhou said: "If there is no extraordinary master, then no one should be monitoring us now."

"That's fine." Lian Li said, "I've discovered that since we thought Hou Yuanpeng was suspicious, we think everything he does is suspicious."

Yun Huizhou smiled and said, "Isn't he suspicious? If he is suspicious, then it is normal for us to doubt him no matter what he does."

Lian Li thought the same thing. Anyway, Hou Yuanpeng should be in the opposing camp. It was the right thing for him to assume the other party with the greatest malice. Otherwise, would he be so naive as to wait until he was defeated before he suddenly realized the truth?

He doesn't want to do that. He would rather be a petty villain than suffer any substantial loss.

"Although our rooms are adjacent, we still need to be more careful at night." Yun Huizhou reminded Lian Li.

Lian Li nodded and said, "I know."

When the two of them were out and about, they stayed in the same room most of the time. Because Yun Huizhou was on guard, Lian Li was relatively relaxed most of the time.

But if he really encounters a special situation, such as being chased by a killer in the desert or when he is alone chasing a bad guy, he will still remain alert at night.

"Oh, right." Lian Li seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and looked up at Yun Huizhou and said, "Even if nothing unexpected happens to us here tonight, we can never assume that nothing will happen. After all, who knows if nothing happens now is a deliberate attempt to paralyze us and make us let down our guard."

Yun Huizhou of course knew what Lian Li said, and had originally planned to tell Lian Li about it.

But seeing that Lian Li had also thought of this, he did not say anything that he knew it without being reminded, but said in a very supportive manner: "Okay, I know it too."

At night, when it was Lian Li's normal time to go to bed, he sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and listened to the sounds around him like Yun Huizhou.

After making sure there were no suspicious heartbeats or breathing sounds around, he lay down on the bed.

The only difference is that compared to his usual sleeping posture with his limbs spread out and relaxing, although he was lying on his side at this moment, his body was not relaxed. As long as there was any movement, he would get out of bed as quickly as possible.

Even if he didn't have time to get out of bed, this posture would allow him to prepare for defense in an instant.

He didn't know how long it had been, but when Lian Li was half asleep and half awake, he felt someone approaching him.

It was like sleep paralysis, an invisible aura was constantly pressing towards his location, gradually shrinking his space for movement.

Because this feeling is so similar to sleep paralysis, and Lian Li also knows that sleep paralysis is actually a physiological phenomenon and not something weird, so he did not feel scared and was not too alert.

But the feeling of being half conscious, unable to open his eyes, and unable to move his body without reviving made him struggle subconsciously.

After practicing martial arts, his ability to control his body was much better than before. In less than a second, he could awaken his entire body.

At this moment, his consciousness became completely clear. He suddenly grabbed his whip, jumped off the bed, and looked at the room in uncertainty.

wrong!

He opened the door of his room and walked towards Yun Huizhou's room.

If his martial arts skills were still at the lower-than-second-rate level at the beginning, he might still be suffering from sleep paralysis.

But now he is already first-rate just by relying on his internal strength. It's just that he has only been practicing martial arts for a short time, so his skills and techniques are not up to first-rate level yet.

A top second-rate master can suppress his own physiological phenomena to a certain extent, not to mention that he has already stepped into the first-rate level.

It is absolutely impossible to experience sleep paralysis unless you are seriously injured or your internal energy is depleted to a certain level.

As soon as he walked to Yun Huizhou's door, he saw Yun Huizhou also opened the door.

Yun Huizhou frowned. When he saw Lian Li coming over, he immediately came up to him and asked, "Is everything alright?"

Lian Li shook his head and said, "I'm fine. How about you? Did you find anything strange?"

Yun Huizhou hummed and said, "I don't know if this is a strange thing."

"What do you mean?" Lian Li was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Yun Huizhou meant.

Yun Huizhou said: "When I was half asleep and half awake, my body seemed to be out of control and I couldn't move. But it only lasted for a while and I was fine soon."

"Sleep paralysis." Lian Li said immediately.

He had experienced this just now, and because he knew the principle of sleep paralysis, he was sure that someone was playing tricks on him, so he hurried over to check on Yun Huizhou's condition.

Unexpectedly, the same situation happened on Yun Huizhou's side, which made it even more certain that someone was playing tricks.

After hearing what Lian Li said, Yun Huizhou was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said: "I don't really believe in ghosts and gods, but what happened just now was indeed weird."

No one knows how many people have died at his hands. If ghosts really existed in this world, he should have been killed by the evil spirit and turned into a ghost long ago.

However, he was never avenged by evil spirits, nor was he able to turn into a ghost and scare the evil spirits that killed him to death.

Therefore, he never believed in ghosts and gods.

But what happened just now really made him very confused, especially after he woke up, the room was still empty.
