Everyone dispersed. Lian Li followed Yun Huizhou back to the room, took out a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil from his arms, and sat down at the table.

He waved to Yun Huizhou, and Yun Huizhou obediently went over and sat beside him. Then Yun Huizhou saw Lian Li pick up the pen and start writing.

After explaining the principle of sleep paralysis to Yun Huizhou clearly, Yun Huizhou felt more at ease.

Although he did not believe in ghosts and gods, and was sure that this was probably someone's doing, he still felt uneasy, fearing that they had fallen into some trap without anyone noticing.

But how did those people who did this do it?

He asked Lian Li, and Lian Li didn't quite understand how the other party did it. However, when he saw Yun Huizhou write on the paper that he suspected he had been tricked, he thought about it and took out the universal antidote that he had rarely used before.

The two of them didn't need to speak, they just looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.

After each of them took one pill, they sat down to practice their Qi. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with their bodies, Lian Li looked around and wrote on it.

[Can you check if there is anyone around? I have a suspicion and would like to do an experiment.]

After reading it, Yun Huizhou did not write anything but just closed his eyes.

Lian Li did not disturb him. Yun Huizhou opened his eyes after a while and said, "No one."

Lian Li nodded, then lay down on the bed and said, "I will be very relaxed in a while, and then fall into a dozing state. You try not to release your murderous aura, but use your invisible aura to oppress me."

Without waiting for Yun Huizhou to answer, Lian Li closed his eyes.

Yun Huizhou roughly understood what Lian Li meant. He sat at the table without moving, and even his breathing was very light.

After just a cup of tea, he felt Lian Li's breathing became longer and longer.

This does not mean that Lian Li is really asleep, but that Lian Li is using his internal energy to adjust his physical condition, putting his body and mind into a state of false sleep.

He glanced at Lian Li, and waited for about a cup of tea before slowly releasing his inner strength. He tested it cautiously.

His internal strength was strong enough that it formed an invisible oppression at this moment.

Knowing that Yun Huizhou was right beside him, Lian Li was very relaxed. Gradually, he actually felt a little sleepy, and he succumbed to the sleepiness.

Yun Huizhou saw that not long after he did what Lian Li said, Lian Li, who had his eyes closed, began to frown and look uneasy. His eyeballs also moved slightly under his eyelids, as if he wanted to open them but couldn't.

Just as he was trying to see it more clearly, Lian Li suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

"It was a bit like last night, but I don't know if it was because I didn't really sleep or for some other reason, but it was only for a moment, and my body and mind were awake and in control of myself."

Yun Huizhou said "hmm" softly, and then asked: "Did you take a bath last night?"

Lian Li didn't know why Yun Huizhou suddenly asked this, but he still answered honestly: "Yes."

Yun Huizhou continued, "The toilet is also in the bathroom, so there is incense in the bathroom."

"You mean, there's something wrong with the incense in the bathroom?" Lian Li understood what he meant instantly.

Because the smell was very similar to sandalwood, and it was in a bathroom with a toilet, Lian Li subconsciously thought it was sandalwood and didn't think about it in that way.

"It's just a guess." Yun Huizhou said, "I don't know whether Captain Zheng and the others met last night, but from what we know today, the two people in Maple Leaf Valley who were attacked were female disciples, and the other one was Miss Qu. Before we parted yesterday, Miss Qu said that she could finally take a good bath. I guess she took a bath last night."

"As for the two disciples from Maple Leaf Valley, they are female disciples, so the possibility of them taking a bath is definitely greater than that of other male disciples."

"And the two of us also bathed. By comparison, at least three of the five people we know of did bathe."

Lian Li felt that Yun Huizhou's words made some sense, but it was still a bit far-fetched: "There are about twenty of us in total. I don't think there were only five of us bathing last night."

Yun Huizhou: "It's true that we can't be sure, but who can guarantee that they attacked everyone? Maybe they had a target in mind, and their target happened to be bathing. Then they randomly selected a few people from other bathing people to avoid appearing too targeted."

Lian Li: "Speaking of the fragrance in the bathroom, it actually smells really good. It makes people feel relaxed and helps them sleep."

Having said that, Lian Li paused, then looked up and met Yun Huizhou's gaze.

Yun Huizhou said, "It seems that the incense is not poisonous and has no harmful effects on the body. It is just a sleep aid. I didn't expect that such a harmless incense that can relax and help sleep would cause some ghostly things when used for this purpose."

"Things are not good or bad, only people who use them can tell them apart." Lian Li muttered this, and then said, "Then why don't we just not take a bath tonight?"

Yun Huizhou replied: "Let's wait and see, maybe there are other tricks. It's getting late, we have to find a restaurant for lunch, otherwise we won't have any lunch and we will really have to eat what Hou Yuanpeng prepared. Or maybe he will be very enthusiastic to help us order it."

Lian Li curled his lips and said, "I don't dare to eat at the restaurant he booked."

The two of them left Hou Yuanpeng's house without telling anyone.

Not long after they went out, Hou Yuanpeng heard the servant's report.

He suddenly put away the fan and looked in the direction where Yun Huizhou and Lian Li left, his eyes clear and dark.

After a long while, he waved his hand and chuckled, his tone full of superiority: "In front of Fengling Villa, it's just a meaningless struggle."

Hou Yuanpeng was so high up that Lian Li and Yun Huizhou were unaware of it.

Even if he knew, Yun Huizhou wouldn't care, and Lian Li would even call him an idiot, saying that he would be struck by lightning if he pretended to be so.

Not long after the two of them went out, they met Zhou Yu and one of his senior brothers.

When there was no need to deal with Hou Yuanpeng together, the two sides were still rather cold. They just nodded to each other and went about their own business.

No one asked the other what they were doing.

Nothing happened to Hou Yuanpeng the whole day.

Even at night, when Lian Li was getting ready to rest, Hou Yuanpeng was still quiet.

Lian Li narrowed his eyes. If it was so quiet, it must be some evil. He quickly ran to find Yun Huizhou, threw a few detoxification pills he had brought with him, and then gave Yun Huizhou a look that said "you know what I mean."

Yun Huizhou raised his eyebrows and instantly remembered that when he was in Fengyicheng before, this kid took the detoxification pills and ate them as if they were sugar pills.
