The next day, Cui'er's scream broke the silence of the early morning.

Su Qiaoqiao originally wanted to call her senior brother to go over and check the situation, but all she saw was an empty room. She stomped her feet, gritted her teeth, and ran towards Bai Feifei's yard. Sure enough, she found Xia Zixuan who had already arrived in Bai Feifei's room.

The complaint that was about to come out of her mouth was forced back by the scene in the room. She was so anxious to find Xia Zixuan that she ignored the strangeness of the house. Now, when she looked again, the room had been decorated with new embellishments.

Red satin was hung on the wall, and big red wedding characters were pasted on the windows and bedside tables. A pair of red candles, snacks for good luck, and wine from the wedding cups were placed on the table.

The most eye-catching thing is the bright red wedding dress hanging on the bedside shelf. The details are decorated with dragons and phoenixes embroidered with gold and silver coins, and embedded with sequins, rhinestones and gems, which looks colorful and magnificent.

On the dressing table nearby, in addition to a row of what looked like newly purchased rouge and powder, in the middle of the table, a golden phoenix crown glittering in the sunlight caught the eye, and there were also several golden hairpins placed next to it.

Looking around, Su Qiaoqiao asked in disbelief: "You guys did this all night?"

Cui Er quickly denied, "No, Miss Su, I left the room after the lady went to bed last night and it was normal. But this morning when I entered the yard, I saw something was wrong. After entering the room, I found that it had been arranged like this."

"Are you sure no one has been in this room?"

"I'm sure. There are two servants guarding the gate of the lady's yard to prevent others from entering by mistake. There are also servants patrolling regularly."

"But the walls around the courtyard aren't very high, so it shouldn't be difficult to climb in, right?"

At this time, Xia Zixuan confirmed: "He is not an ordinary person. It is basically impossible to move so many decorations into the room without alerting anyone, and also to arrange them in time."

"Brother, what do you mean?"

Xia Zixuan looked at the wedding dress on the shelf with a gloomy expression: "It's a love demon."

Su Qiaoqiao came to Bai Feifei, who was leaning against her mother, and asked, "Did you see anyone last night? Or did you feel any movement?"

Bai Feifei shook her head: "I slept soundly last night, but was still woken up by Cui'er's shouting in the morning."

Xia Zixuan came over: "Are you sleeping soundly? Did you have any dreams?"

Bai Feifei's eyes were fixed on Xia Zixuan's face: "I wasn't dreaming, it was just the feeling of closing my eyes and opening them again in the morning."

Su Qiaoqiao was confused and subconsciously looked at Xia Zixuan, only to find that he was looking at Bai Feifei. Their eyes were intertwined, so ambiguous that it made her angry.

"Brother!"

Bai Feifei blinked first, then blushed and looked away. Xia Zixuan came back to his senses and looked at Su Qiaoqiao with a puzzled look.

"what's up?"

Su Qiaoqiao gnashed her teeth and asked him, "What should we do next? Are we just going to wait until night?"

Xia Zixuan became serious: "I'm going to find the fortune teller at that time. It's very likely that he knows the inside story, or he himself has problems."

Su Qiaoqiao speculated: "Could it be that he is the love demon himself? In order to achieve his goal of marrying Bai Feifei, he deliberately made up lies and rumors to bring bad luck to her husband?"

Xia Zixuan looked at her approvingly: "Yes, he should be the key to the whole thing."

Su Qiaoqiao immediately urged him to go: "Brother, let's go quickly. Didn't you say that if we are late, something bad will happen? We don't have much time, so we need to move quickly!"

"You are right. We must seize the time and gain more information so that we can take the initiative."

Next, Xia Zixuan explained the situation to Bai's father. Cui'er volunteered to take them to Yongfeng Town to find the fortune teller, and Bai's father readily agreed.

Just like that, Bai's father, Bai's mother and Bai Feifei sent Xia Zixuan and Su Qiaoqiao to the gate of Bai Mansion. Other Taiyi Sect disciples were left behind to protect Bai Feifei just in case, and to be alert to any new accidents.

"Mr. Xia."

Bai Feifei plucked up the courage to walk up to Xia Zixuan who was standing beside the horse and handed him the small sachet she was holding tightly in her hand.

"This is the sachet I made myself. Inside it is the amulet I got from Wuliang Sect. I hope it can keep you safe and sound."

Xia Zixuan looked down and saw a red sachet embroidered with mandarin ducks. There was a faint scent of gardenia wafting from it, exactly the same scent he smelled behind Bai Feifei yesterday.

On the other side, Su Qiaoqiao, who was entangled by Bai's mother, finally found the time to look at Xia Zixuan, and she saw this explosive scene. Just as she was about to rush over to stop it, she saw Xia Zixuan rejecting Bai Feifei.

"Miss Bai, I appreciate your kindness. But this gift is too expensive. Perhaps it deserves someone better."

Bai Feifei was stunned, her eyes quickly filled with tears, and her little face turned pale.

She retracted her outstretched hands, held the sachet tightly in her palms and held it in her arms, as if her open heart was hurt and then stuffed back into her chest.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, I'm sorry..."

Afraid that her embarrassing expression would be seen by the person she liked, Bai Feifei quickly turned around and ran into the mansion.

Bai's mother immediately followed worriedly, while Bai's father sighed deeply and looked at Xia Zixuan with a complicated expression. Finally, he waved his hand and turned to go into the house.

Xia Zixuan retracted the hand he subconsciously extended, staring blankly at the traces of tears on the back of his hand, a feeling of bitterness welling up in his heart.

I clearly saw her tears yesterday and was thinking about not letting her get bullied again, but today I became the one who made her cry.

"Brother? Are you okay?"

After Su Qiaoqiao confirmed that Xia Zixuan did not like Bai Feifei, she was very happy, but she felt uncomfortable when she saw his dazed expression at the moment.

Xia Zixuan shook his head tiredly, paused for a second, then nodded, then jumped on the horse: "Let's go."

Su Qiaoqiao frowned, but did not ask any more questions. She took Cui'er with her and the three of them rode towards Yongfeng Town.

After arriving at Yongfeng Town, the two followed Cui'er's familiar way to ask for directions, and soon found the fortune-teller's place deep in an inconspicuous alley in the town.

"This fortune teller's surname is Qi. We all respectfully call him Mr. Qi. He passed through this town many years ago and settled down here. He would occasionally go out to travel. We are very lucky. Mr. Qi just came back from outside."

Cui Er knocked on the door while introducing the two people. There was no response from inside. She knocked again, but still no response. She began to get anxious, and her knocking action changed to banging on the door.

"Mr. Qi! Mr. Qi, are you there? Mr. Qi!"

This time there was finally movement inside. After waiting for a while, the wooden door in front of me opened from the inside.

"Who is it? Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning? Can't you let me sleep?"

Su Qiaoqiao couldn't help but complain: "You can sleep like a pig, it's already noon."

Unexpectedly, the other party had very sensitive ears and obviously heard Su Qiaoqiao's complaints, and immediately shouted unhappily.

"Hey, are you cursing? I didn't expect the girl to be pretty, but her words are so offensive."

Su Qiaoqiao glared: "Who are you calling a bad-mouthed person?"

Mr. Qi inside the door deliberately dug his ears and said, "I didn't say anything to you, why are you so anxious? A desperate dog will jump over the wall."

Su Qiaoqiao was about to draw her sword: "Who are you calling a dog?"

Xia Zixuan held down her hand that was holding the hilt of the sword, and signaled her to calm down with his eyes. Su Qiaoqiao reluctantly let go of her hand and turned her head to the other side in a huff.

"Mr. Qi, my name is Xia Zixuan, and I am here for the Bai family's affairs."

The scholar-like young man inside the door raised his eyebrows and looked him up and down with interest.

"Oh? He is a cultivator?"
