It's not good! All the male protagonists are in love with me

After discussing with several people, Jin Shulin and Qi Yanchen went to the place where spiritual energy gathered to investigate what spiritual power was.

Hua Xiangrong and Yuan Xi knocked on doors one by one to see if there were any villagers willing to provide help and clues.

Gong Yi Jue flashed to a high altitude to patrol for traces of the demons.

Lan Qingya is still lazily living as a free man, making up for whatever is lacking.

Hua Xiangrong knocked on the door three times but received no response. It was not until the fourth time that the rotten wooden door slowly opened and an old man's head popped out.

The old man was skinny and looked at Hua Xiangrong with caution.

"What's your business?"

Hua Xiangrong said softly, "Mother-in-law, we are Taoist priests passing by and would like to stay with you for one night. Is that possible?"

"No!" she said and was about to close the door.

Hua Xiangrong stretched out her hand to stop her, but the old woman slammed the door even harder.

Just when the two were in a stalemate, a little girl suddenly appeared behind them.

The little girl pulled her grandmother's sleeve and said, "Grandma, I'm hungry..."

There was no food left at home, so the old woman turned around, hugged the little girl, and started crying.

Hua Xiangrong took out the few foods in the storage bag and handed them over.

Driven by instinct, the little girl reached out to take it.

The old woman restrained her arms and shook her head, saying, "We don't want it."

If they did, they would reveal their dirty and greedy nature to them just like the men before them.

Hua Xiangrong said patiently: "Mother-in-law, look at me. I haven't become like that. We are really people who practice Taoism. We are here to help you."

The old woman looked at her with clear eyes and a sincere expression, and hesitated for a moment, as if she had made up her mind.

"Come in."

Hua Xiangrong nodded repeatedly to express her gratitude, turned around to greet Lan Qingya and the others, and walked in first.

The little girl held the bun she was given and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Lan Qingya greeted Gong Yijue and Yuan Xi, and the three of them followed Hua Xiangrong into the small courtyard.

As soon as she stepped in, Lan Qingya immediately noticed a white shadow on the upside-down house in the courtyard.

She turned around and looked, but the shadow had disappeared.

Gong Yijue's voice came from behind: "Junior sister, what's wrong?"

She shook her head and followed the men into the yard.

When monks practice fasting, they rarely carry food with them.

Lan Qingya took out all the food she bought when she went shopping with her master and left it for them, the grandparents and grandchildren.

Some of the buns and pancakes were still steaming.

The old woman finally realized that her bet was right, and she was about to kowtow with the little girl in tears.

Hua Xiangrong hurriedly stopped her: "Mother-in-law, you can't do this."

"If I hadn't met you, Xiaoya and I would have starved to death." said the grandma, wiping her tears.

Even though they were used to seeing the sufferings of the world, they still couldn't remain indifferent. Everyone present had a heavy expression on their faces.

Yuan Xi pouted even more. Hua Xiangrong touched him with her arm. He quickly lowered his head. He wanted to cry but held back.

Lan Qingya saw that the time was almost right, so she helped the old lady sit down and asked, "Grandma, do you know what happened in town?"

"My surname is Liu. My husband passed away ten years ago. My son and daughter-in-law were dragged away by the beasts in the town. We still don't know whether they are alive or dead."

She was shaking all over, not sure whether it was out of anger or sadness.

"That was a year ago. A madman suddenly appeared in this town. I don't know where he came from, and he is not from here."

"He would beat up any man he saw, and did that kind of thing to any woman he saw. In the end, he was beaten so badly that he couldn't stand up and was thrown out of town."

"But later, another woman came. She was very pretty. Not long after she came, the men in the town often fought over her. Blood was often shed, and there was even a death!"

"Is that woman still in town?"

Granny Liu spoke in a very imaginative way, saying whatever came to her mind, but Gong Yijue grasped the key point.

"She ran away a long time ago! She ran away when the town was in chaos. But the people in the town hate each other now. It's no longer the same as before."

"Later, men started to disappear from time to time. Now, almost half of them are gone, and the rest are hiding at home, fearing that they will be found by some evil creature."

"We used to be harmonious neighbors, but now, all those who knock on my door are bastards with beastly hearts! My son and daughter-in-law were taken away in this way. A few days ago, they wanted to... they wanted to take Xiaoya..."

When Granny Liu reached this point, she was already sobbing.

They came out of Granny Liu's house, and Qi Yanchen and Jin Shulin also returned to meet them.

"There is a crack in the ground that leaked some spiritual energy, inadvertently supporting the town in resisting the evil spirit." Qi Yanchen briefly described their discovery.

Otherwise, with the level of demonic energy in Santai Town today, there might not be a single normal person in the entire town.

Lan Qingya nodded, and out of the corner of her eye she saw a white shadow flash behind the house.

Are they being observed?

"Senior Brother, do you feel there is something nearby?" Lan Qingya turned and looked at Gong Yijue.

Monster?

Gong Yijue shook his head: "I have already scanned the area with my spiritual sense, but I didn't find anything."

Lan Qingya also scanned it and indeed found nothing unusual.

What is that white shadow?

Lan Qingya believed in her intuition and it was definitely not her eyes playing tricks on her.

It was already past noon, so they found an unowned house to settle down and catch their breath.

Everyone sat in the front yard and began to review the situation.

"Grandma Liu said that half of the people here have either escaped or disappeared, and are no longer here." Lan Qingya said, "The remaining people may not all be clean either."

Qi Yanchen nodded: "Although there is spiritual energy to protect the body, people with evil intentions are more likely to be affected by evil energy."

Hua Xiangrong asked, "Didn't she say that someone once tried to break into her house and commit a crime?"

Yuan Xi was filled with righteous indignation: "They don't even spare the elderly and children. They are worse than animals!"

Jin Shulin was wiping his sword on the side and did not interrupt.

Gong Yijue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Then why are they still safe?"

Everyone was stunned. Yes, if a strong man came to make trouble, even if there was only one, how could the old lady and the girl resist?

If she was really scared, why did she open the door when Hua Xiangrong knocked?

The details that she had not paid attention to just now, but now all flooded into her mind, impacting Lan Qingya's thoughts.

She happily opened the door, the corners of her lips seemed to be crying and laughing, and when she talked about her suffering, she lowered her head and sobbed, and the sleeves that wiped her tears seemed to have no traces of tears...

Lan Qingya's eyes narrowed as she looked at Qi Yanchen.

Qi Yanchen immediately jumped out and ran towards Granny Liu's residence.

Qi Yanchen kicked the door open and ran into the house in two steps, only to see Granny Liu with red eyes, pinching Xiaoya's neck and refusing to let go.

The little girl's face turned purple and she rolled her eyes because of being pinched by her.

Qi Yanchen stepped forward and pulled Granny Liu away. He checked on Xiaoya and was relieved to see that she had recovered her breathing. He protected her behind him.

The devilish aura in Granny Liu's eyes radiated red, and she rushed towards him screaming.

Qi Yanchen raised his sword to block her old hand, then turned around and grabbed her arm.

After all, Grandma Liu was old, and Qi Yanchen didn't want to hurt her, so he took out a rope and tied her up, then carried Xiao Ya back to the house where they were resting.

After being caught, Granny Liu no longer acted as she did before. She stared at Lan Qingya viciously, swearing foul language, and suddenly burst into crazy laughter.

Lan Qingya asked her several questions, but she turned a deaf ear to them and kept scolding her more and more harshly.

The little girl was held in Hua Xiangrong's arms and comforted softly, and she gradually stopped trembling with fear.

Lan Qingya stared at the crazy Granny Liu and frowned.

Things seemed to be unable to move forward.
