After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 46

The staff took An Jiuxi and the others to a villa in the suburbs.

On the way, Jin Yize had someone investigate the condition of the villa.

It's pretty much as rumored.

A few years ago, the villa owner came here to meet his mistress, but was caught by his wife. After she beat him up, she left.

That night, someone broke in with a weapon and killed the owner and his mistress's family.

However, the murderer has not been caught so far.

As for the motive for the murder, the staff suspected it was an impulsive crime after investigation.

The criminal may have only intended to enter the villa to steal some valuables, but was caught by the owner and killed during the ensuing argument.

To cover up their crimes, the criminals went all out and killed their mistress and illegitimate child as well.

Afterwards, the villa changed hands several times, and each of the owners who bought the villa subsequently encountered misfortune.

Either they fall down the stairs while walking, or a knife in the kitchen suddenly falls and cuts their foot.

After a series of bizarre events, no one dared to buy it anymore, and the villa became vacant, turning into a rumored haunted house.

This attracted many people to take the adventure.

The series of misfortunes among adventurers adds another layer of mystery to the haunted house, attracting even more fearless adventurers.

Jin Yize relayed all the information he had gathered to An Jiuxi, and the group stood at the villa entrance.

Despite it being broad daylight and the sun shining brightly, the villa still gave off a gloomy feeling.

The leaders exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of retreat in the other's eyes.

They had been here before, but they hadn't found it eerie then.

Could it be that I've heard too many bizarre ghost stories on the road and started to become paranoid?

An Jiuxi glanced at the lingering yin energy above the villa, frowned, and reluctantly took out a few talismans and handed them over.

"Keep it close to your body to ensure your safety."

Neither the two staff members nor the head of the teaching department reached out.

Although Chi Anruo's face was a little pale, she stubbornly refused to accept it.

Only Chi Beimu readily accepted one of the cards, put it in the chest pocket of his school uniform, and patted it.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

An Jiuxi: "Two thousand per sheet, remember to transfer it to me afterwards."

Chi Beimu nodded. "Okay."

Chi Anruo frowned, and seeing that Jin Yize did not react, she couldn't help but pinch her palm.

She said gently, "Miss An, it's just a cheap piece of yellow paper, yet you want Bei Mu to give you two thousand? Isn't that... a bit too much?"

That's as if An Jiuxi is a heartless swindler who cheats children out of their money.

An Jiuxi glanced at her, not understanding how this person could emit the aroma of tea anytime, anywhere.

“My talismans are so cheap, they are hardly worthy of someone as noble as Miss Chi.” As she spoke, she put one of the talismans back into her pocket, then looked at the other three, “What about the other three? Would you like some?”

The two staff members shook their heads without hesitation, "No need, the talk of ghosts and gods is pure nonsense, we don't need these things."

An Jiuxi nodded and then looked at the head of the teaching department.

The dean of students' affairs originally didn't want to come, but since the students, their parents, and the staff had all come, if no one from the school showed up, the school's reputation would be ruined.

After hearing so many strange things on the way, his originally firm materialistic beliefs began to waver.

So after hesitating for a moment, he still took the talisman from An Jiuxi's hand.

But when he received the talisman, he said, "It must not be easy for a young girl like you to do these things."
