The mistress just wanted to be bad, but she took off after being replaced

He had asked for a few days' leave and offered to accompany her when she left Beijing, which filled her with anticipation.

But now it seems that all this is not to support her, but to hinder her plan!

Everyone in the team looked unhappy, and the atmosphere became subtle and tense.

Fan Ruoxuan gently waved the folding fan in his hand, and spoke with a bit of sharp sarcasm: "Brother Pei may have been frightened by the words of Madam Pei, and he is afraid."

In contrast, Yang Shengming, the prince of Qingyun Palace, is cheerful and likes to join in the fun.

The events of recent days have undoubtedly captured his attention.

On the one hand, there is the complicated relationship between Han Yueer, Pei Yu and Sheng Junwei; on the other hand, there is the unsolved case of a female ghost in Nanping Village thirty years ago.

Both aroused his strong curiosity and desire to explore.

He chuckled, trying to ease the tense atmosphere: "Brother Pei, don't worry. None of the five of us are easy to deal with. Especially Master Gu, the chief disciple of Pinglong Mountain. He can easily deal with those evil spirits. Even if there is something unclean, Master Gu has his own way."

Han Yueer crossed her arms over her chest when she heard this, and there was a hint of coldness in her voice: "If Mr. Du is afraid, it is not a bad idea to evacuate first."

She raised a mocking smile and continued, "I guess Madam Pei will appear soon. Since you trust her so much, why don't you wait here for good news? With her great magical powers, she will protect your safety."

"Yue'er!"

Pei Yu's tone was somewhat helpless: "Now is not the time to fight, this concerns human life..."

Gu Weiyi stared at him coldly with a sharp gaze: "Mr. Du, do you doubt me or do you think Pinglong Mountain is not worthy of its reputation?"

Pei Yu quickly explained: "...That's not what I meant."

Gu Weiyi snorted disdainfully: "If that's not the case, then don't say anything more."

However, how could Pei Yu give up so easily: "Even if you want to enter, there is no need to rush. It is so late at night. It is not too late to come back tomorrow morning."

Gu Weiyi's tone revealed a deeper irony: "Master Pei, an outsider should not show off his skills in front of an expert. During the day, the Yang energy is strong, and those evil things will naturally avoid it. If it is really like more than 30 years ago, it is a female ghost who is causing trouble. How can we find out the truth if we wait until they hide before coming?"

Pei Yu felt a little powerless and could only watch in amazement as the four figures gradually disappeared into the village. Their steps were filled with an irresistible determination.

He subconsciously stroked the amulet secretly hanging on his chest. The cold and hard touch seemed to be the only comfort he could grasp.

With a determined heart and clenched teeth, he resolutely stepped onto the path that seemed to be swallowed by the night.

The moment you enter Nanping Village, the night sky around you seems to be covered with thick ink by an invisible hand, layer upon layer, shrouding the entire world in a depressing and heavy atmosphere.

A dark crack suddenly appeared in the sky above, and the swirling black hole was like a sleeping giant, floating quietly. The malice and greed hidden in it seemed as if it could devour anyone at any time and drag all living things into eternal darkness with its invisible claws.

At the same time, Sheng Junwei ran to the village entrance almost like a gust of wind. However, what was waiting for her was loneliness. Those figures had already disappeared without a trace.

A feeling of regret surged in her chest, and she knew that this time she was really a step too late.

His nostrils twitched slightly, and the few lingering scents at the entrance of the village seemed particularly familiar. They were clearly the three strange visitors who appeared beside Pei Yu last night, plus the scent of Pei Yu and Han Yue'er.

Her face couldn't help but darken. In addition to the three outsiders she had expected, there were unexpectedly two bystanders who didn't know the truth.

There was a hint of helplessness in the bitter smile. This was not something worth watching. Once you got caught up in it, you might become a victim who could never escape!

Looking up, the three big characters "Nanping Village" written in vermilion, as if they were dripping with blood, looked particularly hideous in the night.

She took a deep breath, took a step forward, and firmly crossed the invisible boundary.

As soon as I stepped in, an indescribable chill and murderous aura filled the air around me. It surged in like a tide, trying to devour all breath of life.

However, before this evil aura could get close to Sheng Junwei, it was blocked by an invisible golden halo.

The golden light was like the first ray of sunshine at sunrise, dispelling all the haze. Under the illumination of the golden light, the evil spirit made a slight "hissing" sound, like bubbles bursting in boiling water, and in an instant it turned into invisible white smoke and dissipated in the night wind.

Sheng Junwei raised her eyebrows, obviously quite satisfied with her protective measures.

Deep in her heart, she secretly rejoiced that this golden light of merit was indeed a rare treasure. With its protection, ordinary evil spirits and ghosts could not get close at all. Even the evil spirit that had accumulated for a hundred years would have to retreat in front of this golden light.

Despite this, Sheng Junwei did not take it lightly. She took out an old copper coin from her bosom, and after some divination, she decided to continue moving forward in a specific direction.

At this moment, her expression suddenly changed subtly, because she noticed someone slowly approaching not far ahead.

He was an old man with a hunched back. Every step he took was extremely difficult, as if the vicissitudes of countless years were embedded in his joints. However, his pace was not slow, and he walked steadily towards Sheng Junwei step by step.

When the old man finally stopped in front of her and raised his pale face full of wrinkles, his voice was low and hoarse: "Stranger, what are you doing visiting Nanping Village so late at night?"

Sheng Junwei's eyes inadvertently slid across the empty space under the old man's feet. Her eyes were calm and she answered calmly, "My companions and I were traveling and got separated. I want to ask if you have seen any of your friends passing by here?"

"Oh, I'm looking for a friend."

Hearing this, the old man stretched out his hand as if he wanted to put it on Sheng Junwei's shoulder to comfort her, but as soon as his fingers touched the air, he withdrew them suddenly as if he had been electrocuted, and a trace of pain that was difficult to conceal flashed across his face.

Then, her tone became stern: "Go away, we don't welcome outsiders in Nanping Village!"

Sheng Junwei gently touched her nose, restraining the golden light of merit. She placed her fingers lightly on the old man's shoulder and said in a gentle but firm voice, "Don't worry, Auntie. We won't eat and stay for free. We will pay the price. We will only disturb you for one night and leave immediately tomorrow morning."

The old man stared blankly at the hand on his shoulder, a trace of confusion and doubt flashing in his cloudy eyes.

After a while, she nodded slowly: "Okay, then you stay."

Then, her face darkened and she warned coldly: "Remember, don't walk around or spy at night. No matter what sound you hear, don't go out."
