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

Chapter 78

Once the noise subsided, An Jiuxi released her hand and looked at the others, saying, "You can throw away the amulet now."

Grandpa Jin opened his hand first, only to find that the amulet had turned into a lump of black ash.

He was amazed.

"What was that sound just now?" Li Maosheng asked in confusion, glancing up at the second floor with surprise in his heart.

An Jiuxi picked up the stone and noticed a faint light still lingering on it. She glanced at the second floor and said, "It's a yin-gathering locust tree, nourished by yin. No wonder it takes seven days."

On her way here, she was puzzled, wondering why a simple life exchange should take seven days.

Grandpa Li still didn't understand, "An girl, what exactly do you mean by that?"

An Jiuxi sighed, "I not only want to change my life, but I also want to change my destiny."

Destiny!

The three members of the Li family gasped.

An Jiuxi continued, "Madam Li must know what happened when Yu Baizhou's fate declined. Li Yuke is still young and has the best fate in the Li family, so they took advantage of him. The birthday banquet gave them an opportunity to set up a trap, making Old Master Li think that he had sent the child to a classmate's house."

"Then they drugged him, brought him here, and soaked him in the lake outside. They used the yin energy gathered by the locust tree in the water to break his protective aura before changing his life."

People with noble destinies generally possess a protective aura.

The smaller the size, the stronger the aura.

"After the life-swapping, the child was no longer of any use to them, so they took advantage of the Li family's grand search for him to throw him out. This served two purposes: to cover their tracks and to mislead the public. After all, no one would associate the strange changes in Young Master Li with the evil life-swapping technique."

Hearing her description, Yu Xiuye ​​thought of her son who was barely surviving at home, and tears streamed down her face. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Then, will the lake water outside cause Keke health problems in the future?"

An Jiuxi shook her head.

Seeing this, the Li family members breathed a sigh of relief.

"but......"

Seeing her speak again, the hearts that had just relaxed became anxious again. Old Master Li said anxiously, "An girl, as long as Ke Ke is alright, the Li family will give you whatever you want."

Grandpa Jin understood their concerns. "Xi'er, just say what's on your mind. They can handle it."

Upon hearing this, An Jiuxi carefully spoke, "This place is surrounded by the Yin-gathering locust tree, which has disrupted the original energy flow. In addition, water is Yin in nature, and there are some things placed at the bottom of the lake. Li Yuke will need careful care after he wakes up, and he will be plagued by minor illnesses for the next year."

"Is it just a minor illness?" Li Maosheng asked hastily.

Seeing her nod, I finally felt relieved.

As the group was talking, a strange voice came from upstairs, like someone with phlegm stuck in their throat trying to cough it up but unable to. Combined with the dim lighting in the room, it sent chills down everyone's spine!

Yu Xiuye ​​shrank back, looking in alarm toward the direction of the sound, and snuggled closer to her husband. "What, what was that sound?"

An Jiuxi glanced at the door upstairs that had been opened at some point, then quickly drew a talisman in the air and struck the group of people.

At the same time, he waved his hand in a deep voice, "You all step back."

Upon hearing this, the group quickly retreated and stood in front of the door.

"No matter what you see, don't make a sound." As soon as An Jiuxi finished speaking, a dark figure appeared on the second floor.

She turned her head and looked at Jin Yize. She gently brushed a strand of hair from her hair, tied it with a red string, and put it into the man's palm. "Take it. Stay with them."

Seeing that the matter was somewhat troublesome, Jin Yize did not insist on staying by his side.

He gripped the strands of hair tightly in his hand, signaling Lu Huaisang to step back.

The instant they moved, the unidentified object that had been lingering on the second-floor railing seemed to have caught a stimulant and charged directly from the second floor toward Jin Yize.

As the dark figure drew closer, the group finally saw what was rushing towards them!

It was Yu Baizhou, who was covered in bandages and should have been resting in bed!

But now Yu Baizhou was using both hands and feet, crawling on the ground like a spider. His eyes were filled with black energy, and the wounds he had been slashed opened up with his movements, blood and internal organs falling out as he crawled, leaving a bloody trail on the ground.

Even the two old men, who had seen their share of storms, almost couldn't help but cry out in surprise!
