"No!" Sweetie refused even faster.

Looking at the two people flanking her from both sides, her mood was no longer as pleasant as it had been downstairs.

Is he truly only in her heart, or is he just pretending?

Sweetie was very curious, but she couldn't tell at all. Ever since entering the room, she had been praying that the fairy would come to find her that night. So when they offered to stay with her, she absolutely refused.

"why?"

Gu Shiyu and Xie Beiling emerged from the balcony and bathroom respectively. Faced with Tian Tian's rejection, the two asked earnestly.

The pressure from the two people beside her was already overwhelming for Tian Tian; if two more came, she would be even more devastated.

"Brother, I'll keep you company tonight," Gu Shiyu said again when she didn't respond.

Sweetie waved her hands and quickly refused, saying, "My brother is a boy, and my dad and uncle are also boys, so they can't sleep with me."

What a convenient excuse.

Xie Beiling turned his back, not wanting to see Tian Tian's face at all. If this continued, he was afraid he would feel nauseous from the dinner he had just eaten.

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Gu Yinshen said, "Since Tiantian wants to sleep by herself, then we'll go out. If anything happens, please contact Dad immediately."

"You can also ask your uncle."

"My brother is also ready to serve me anytime."

Sweetie smiled and nodded as she watched them leave.

Once she was sure the footsteps had faded away, Tian Tian quickly got out of bed.

in the corridor.

"Are we just leaving like this?" Although Xie Beiling didn't want to be with Tian Tian, ​​he still needed to figure things out as soon as possible.

Gu Yinshen glanced in the direction of Tian Tian's room, his face calm. "No rush, the fish won't bite right away."

“Brother is right, fishing requires patience.” Gu Jingsi patted Xie Beiling on the shoulder. “Are you staying at the Gu family home tonight?”

"No, Yu Mian is still waiting for me at home." Xie Beiling glanced at the time; he had left Xie Yu Mian alone at home for three or four hours.

"I need to go see Yuan'er too. At the dinner table, she looked at me like she wanted to eat me alive." Gu Jingsi said, and was the first to leave.

Everyone returned to their rooms, but Gu Shiyu remained standing in the corridor, refusing to leave.

He needed to find the root cause of the problem from Tian Tian in the shortest possible time, so that Meng Meng would suffer less injustice the sooner he could.

He strolled to the door of Sweetie's room and stood outside listening to the sounds inside.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

"Immortal, can you hear me? I really know I was wrong. Please, help me one last time. I promise I will do my best to follow your instructions."

Sweetie knelt in front of the curtains, praying to the big tree in the yard.

All the doors in the Gu family's house are custom-made, so once the door is closed, not a single sound can escape from inside.

Gu Shiyu thought for a moment, then reached out and twisted the doorknob, pushing the door open.

Sweetie, whose thoughts were all on the tree outside, didn't hear the footsteps coming from outside the door.

By the time she heard footsteps, Gu Shiyu had already walked up behind her.

"Brother, brother!" Sweetie stood up from the ground in a panic.

"What are you doing?" Gu Shiyu asked, his face grim and expressionless.

doing what?

Sweetie racked her brains, stammering for a long time. She shook her head, pretending to be confused, "What was I doing just now? I can't remember anything at all?"

Worried that Gu Shiyu wouldn't believe her, Tian Tian grabbed his arm and said, "Brother, I feel like I'm possessed again, just like yesterday!"

Gu Shiyu looked down at his entangled arms and chose to ignore it. "Really? Is there something unclean in this room?"

He turned around, and Tian Tian's arm, which was holding his, fell off as he turned.

"Brother, Tian Tian is scared!" Tian Tian didn't want Gu Shiyu to search her room, so she stepped forward to stop him.

Gu Shiyu could see her guilty conscience and deliberately pressed her for an answer: "Weren't you scared just now? If your brother doesn't find out the reason for your possession, how dangerous is it for you to keep doing these uncontrollable things?"

Without giving Tian Tian a chance to refute, he ruthlessly and coldly pushed her away.

"Brother!" Sweetie hugged Gu Shiyu's leg from behind.

Seeing them so intimate made Gu Shiyu feel nauseous. He couldn't very well forcefully pull her hand away.

After struggling internally, he decided to change his plan.

“There really is something unclean in this room, but it’s invisible to the naked eye. How about this, do you want to change rooms to rest? Tomorrow I’ll have my father invite a famous Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirits from your room,” Gu Shiyu said earnestly.

Taoist priest?

"No?" Sweetie blurted out in refusal.

The Gu family is wealthy and powerful; hiring a famous and powerful Taoist priest would be a piece of cake for them. If the priest were to detect the presence or aura of an immortal, she would lose all hope and would also implicate the immortal.

At that point, she'll probably not only be thrown into the mountains to be eaten by wolves by Gu Shiyu, but even immortals won't let her off easily.

At first, everyone only suspected Tian Tian, ​​but after she refused several times, it became clear that she was no longer just a suspect.

"Brother, I'm just scared. Those Taoist priests wear black robes and carry big brooms, chanting incantations. I don't want to see them." Sweetie explained her reason, hoping that Gu Shiyu would listen to her and stop arranging for them to go find the Taoist priests.

Gu Shiyu nodded thoughtfully and replied with a smile, "Alright, since Tiantian doesn't want to, then I won't go to see the Taoist priest. You should rest well first, and if you feel unwell, remember to come and see your brother."

After Gu Shiyu left the room, Tian Tian immediately locked the door from the inside.

Fortunately, the immortal didn't appear just now, otherwise Gu Shiyu would have seen him.

She turned to look at the tree in the courtyard, but there was still no sign of the immortal on it.

……

After obtaining the adorable divine flower and herb, the injuries in Ziyang Daoist's body healed, and his magical power also increased.

He is currently staying in the cave to continue his cultivation, and has directly broken the boundary that Bifang set up around Mengmeng.

He ignored the sweet calls that echoed in his ears. That idiot, not only disobedient, but also constantly causing trouble. If he had the time, he would have dealt with her first.

……

Sweetie called out to no avail. Rubbing her hoarse throat, she dejectedly went back to bed and lay down.

The Gu family has already become suspicious of her. If she is not protected by the immortal soon, she will soon be discovered and cruelly abandoned.

Sweetie tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She got out of bed and tiptoed towards the door.

By now, everyone had gone to rest. The entire Gu residence seemed to have entered a state of hibernation, completely silent.

Sweetie walked toward Mengmeng's room, and through the crack in the door, she saw a faint light emanating from inside.
