“Take a closer look at the two of them,” Peony said with a smile.

"Tsk..." This was Chu Qingluo's heartfelt disgust. Both of those ghost faces were smeared with the blood of some unknown animal, making them impossible to look at... She tilted her head and asked, "White Impermanence? No, wait, it's missing a long tongue."

The two ghosts laughed loudly again, their laughter piercing the air, but Chu Qingluo finally recognized them: "Hu..."

The Hu sisters!

She swallowed their names in time, exclaiming in shock, "How could it be you?!" They were actually willing to smear animal blood on their faces? That's too much of a sacrifice...

“I specifically asked them for help,” Peony replied.

"That's right, without us, this wouldn't have been possible at all." The two sisters' smugness couldn't be hidden even with their faces covered in blood.

“That’s right, you guys are the main attraction,” Peony said again.

Seeing the three of them so harmonious, Chu Qingluo was truly shocked! Weren't these two sisters originally at odds with Shaoyao? They even seemed ready to tear each other apart, so what's going on now? Are rivals teaming up for a major operation? To save a handsome young man? Is this some kind of Avengers alliance?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. A woman's face is indeed like the weather in June—it changes in an instant…

Ignoring Chu Qingluo's bewildered expression, Shaoyao continued speaking to the two men, "Is everything ready? She should sober up soon."

"Everything is ready!" the two sisters declared confidently.

Peony nodded, pulled Chu Qingluo onto the carriage, and instructed the male attendant to drive it to a more densely wooded area to hide it. Only then did Chu Qingluo notice that there was another carriage parked there, which she assumed belonged to the Hu sisters.

"Are you trying to scare Pan Yin to death?" Chu Qingluo couldn't help but ask.

Peony thought about it seriously for a moment before saying, "It's just to scare her, but if she's really that timid... then there's nothing I can do."

"You'd better pray she's brave enough, otherwise you'll really end up dying at your hands, and then you'll be crying."

"Probably not..." Hearing her say that, Peony looked over there with some worry. But the die was cast, and she still had to try.

The two hid in the shadows and observed that Pan Yin's location was surrounded by trees on both sides, with only open paths in front and behind.

Hu Duo hid to the side at the back. Hu Yun, holding a jar, poured the liquid onto Pan Yin's face... until the jar was empty, then casually tossed it into the bushes nearby.

"What is that?" Chu Qingluo couldn't see clearly from that distance. Remembering that Shaoyao had previously imagined pushing Pan Yin into the cesspool, she asked, "Could it be splashing excrement?"

"Pfft!" Peony covered her mouth and laughed loudly: "Can you be serious for once? That's just ordinary cold water!"

Chu Qinglu pouted: "Okay..."

That's true. They're committing heinous acts of harming loyal and virtuous people, how can you be so heartless? And you're even laughing and joking, it's so immoral... We must be serious!

In the darkness, Hu Yun seemed to see Pan Yin's body move slightly. She immediately spread out her wide robes, lowered her head, and stared down at Pan Yin with a wide grin.

Pan Yin sat up groggily and saw a white-clad female ghost with a blood-covered face standing in front of him. The expression on her ghostly face was indescribably terrifying and distorted!

"Ah—" The word was barely on Pan Yin's lips when he couldn't catch his breath and fainted!

This action startled Hu Yun. Seeing the woman fall back to the ground, she suddenly felt lost and quickly looked in the direction where Shaoyao and the others were for help.

"Hahahahaha!" Chu Qingluo burst into laughter when she saw Pan Yin stand up and then immediately fall back down in fright, prompting Shaoyao to quickly reach out and cover her mouth.

This is absolutely hilarious! Chu Qingluo's eyes welled up with tears from laughing: "What, what are you doing? Just to scare people and feel better?" She then burst into laughter again.

Helpless, Peony made a series of punches and kicks at Hu Yun. Hu Yun vaguely understood what was happening, kicked Pan Yin twice, and when she didn't move, he squatted down and slapped her face several times.

Pan Yin was really unlucky; she actually woke up again... A huge, blood-stained female ghost face was right in front of her. She screamed and got up to run away!

Hu Duo, who had been waiting there, suddenly 'floated' out and blocked Pan Yin's path. Pan Yin was startled and ran in the opposite direction... This happened several times in succession. The two sisters, one after the other, took turns scaring Pan Yin so much that she mistook them for a flying female ghost!

Seeing that there was really no way to escape, Pan Yin simply knelt down and begged for mercy with a sob in her voice: "Please, have mercy on me. We are complete strangers and have no grudges against each other. Please let me go!" When she spoke, she did not dare to look up at the 'female ghost's' face at all and kept shrinking back.

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Hu Yun raised her voice and said in a strange tone, "I have loved the Seventh Prince for many years, but now he wants to become your disciple! This has caused me to be heartbroken and die!" As she spoke, her face became even more ferocious: "I will take you to the underworld and never let you be reincarnated!"

"No, no! Please spare my life, young lady!" Pan Yin was so frightened that he curled up into a ball, his head pressed tightly against the ground.

Hu Yun's voice floated down from above her head again: "If you want me to spare you, unless... you refuse to let the Seventh Prince enter the sect."

"But this is His Majesty's decree, I... I dare not disobey!" Pan Yin stammered, unable to speak coherently.

"Then you'll only have one path left: death!" Hu Yun's voice was icy, like the Grim Reaper issuing a summons. A cool breeze blew by, causing her white dress to flutter, making the atmosphere in the grove even more eerie and unsettling. She slowly raised her hand again, as if about to make a move against Pan Yin…

"Wait!" Pan Yin called out urgently, gritting her teeth as she fought, "Fine! I promise, I promise!"

Hu Yun added, "Don't think you can get rid of me by just agreeing now. You should know that I can take your life anytime, anywhere!"

"No, no, please give me more time."

"Don't even think about stalling!"

"I need to... think of a reason to explain to His Majesty."

"I'll give you seven days!"

"...Okay, seven days it is..."

"You can go now. Remember, if you don't do as I say, I'll come looking for you!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Pan Yin echoed repeatedly, then stood up shakily and walked backwards, but his head was still down.

Hu Yun couldn't stand it any longer and shouted sternly, "Get out of here! Don't look back!"

Pan Yin was startled again, quickly turned around, and ran for his life.

Seeing her terrified and fleeing in panic, Peony laughed happily: "Let's see if she dares to let the Seventh Prince into the family now!!" She was quite confident in her plan.

Chu Qinglu shrugged and sighed. Who knows?

Having completed their mission, the Hu sisters looked triumphant and said to Shaoyao, "If we had successfully ruined this, you wouldn't be competing with us for the Seventh Prince in the future!"

Peony curled her lips into a smile: "Even if I back down, you two will still have to compete, right? So, let's all rely on our own abilities."

"Tch." The Hu sisters rolled their eyes helplessly, wiped the blood off their faces with their sleeves, and jumped into their own carriage.

Peony's coachman also cracked the reins and drove out of the grove along another road...

After committing a series of misdeeds, it seems the Avengers are about to disband.

Poor Pan Yin, having just been through a barrage of frights, now had to navigate alone in the dark through the grove. It was truly going to be tough for her. But what could she do? She was stuck with the Seventh Prince…
