Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

The group seemed to sense the pressure she was putting on them, and they all nodded solemnly.

Then he slowly closed his eyes, gently placed his hands on his chest, and muttered the mysterious incantation that Hua Ye had taught them before, word by word.

However, before everyone could finish reciting the incantation, a sudden gust of wind howled in again, instantly extinguishing all the flickering candles.

At the same time, the red paper that was originally quietly pasted on the red line seemed to be driven by some strange force, and strangely broke free from the red line's restraints, and was blown away to some unknown place.

"What...what exactly is going on?"

Su Zhizhi was startled by this sudden turn of events. She opened her eyes wide in fear, her mind filled with confusion.

She had just been hoping that the formation would activate smoothly and bring her good luck, but now she had encountered another unexpected event.

Just as she was about to ask what was going on, a male voice slowly came from the darkness.

"Life-Borrowing Formation..."

The voice was warm and pleasant, and it chuckled softly, "Are you trying to prolong your life?"

Upon hearing this voice, Hua Ye's heart sank. She turned her head and looked at Zhu Xing standing to the side, a hint of panic and unease flashing in her eyes.

She never expected that her carefully arranged magic array would be so easily seen through by Zhu Xing.

At that moment, she felt as if she had lost all control, and her mind went completely blank.

"Tsk..."

Zhu Xing shook his head slightly, a hint of regret in his eyes, "It's a pity that your formation is incomplete. No matter how hard you try, you can't succeed."

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Ye's eyes widened, filled with disbelief and shock.

She stared at Zhu Xing in disbelief, her lips trembling as she said, "No...incomplete?! How is this possible? I clearly..."

For a moment, Hua Ye's heart was in turmoil, unable to accept this cruel reality.

"Hanayo! What on earth is going on?!"

Su Zhizhi screamed in terror, her shrill voice seeming to pierce the night sky, "Master Zhu, how could you say this is a life-borrowing formation?! You clearly told us before that it was just a formation to change one's luck, what happened?!"

"Flower night..."

Song Yifeng's eyes were filled with worry as he looked intently at Hua Ye: "What... is wrong?! Are you sick?!"

During this time, he had noticed that something was wrong with Hua Ye, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

"Hua Ye! You actually want to kill us?!"

Zhao Wu seemed to be blinded by rage, roaring loudly with a ferocious expression: "You bitch, how can you be so cruel! I just wanted to play with you?! And you actually want to kill us?!"

"Zhao Wu!" Su Zhizhi was startled when she heard this.

She realized something was wrong and quickly reached out to cover his mouth, but unfortunately, she was a beat too slow.

"Um?!"

Song Yifeng's expression changed instantly. He stared intently at Zhao Wu, his eyes flashing with anger: "What exactly did you do to Hua Ye?! Tell me now!"

"It has nothing to do with you!" Zhao Wu hurriedly avoided Song Yifeng's gaze, his words muffled and his eyes darting around.

"You two are utter scum!"

Song Yifeng could no longer contain his anger and glared at the two of them: "Su Zhizhi! Hua Ye is your good friend!"

How could you let your boyfriend treat her like this? Are you even human? How could you do such a thing?!

"I'm not human?!"

Now that she'd been discovered, Su Zhizhi decided to just give up and do whatever she wanted.

Her face flushed red, her eyes flashing with anger and resentment, and she roared, "So what kind of good person is Hua Ye?! Look at this life-borrowing magic array! She has been trying to kill us all along!"

I'd always found it strange that she'd suddenly become so kind, going out of her way to find that so-called luck-changing formation for us. Turns out she just wanted to use us to her advantage!

"that is!"

Zhao Wu, his face filled with righteous indignation, stepped forward without hesitation to protect Su Zhizhi.

He glared at Song Yifeng, pointed his finger at him, and shouted angrily, "Song Yifeng, stop pretending to be a good person!"

You think I don't know you were secretly calling your mom behind our backs?! You're clearly only after the Ye family's money!

She's their only daughter. If you marry her, won't a huge fortune fall into your hands? You heartless bastard! What right do you have to talk to us like that?!

Song Yifeng's true colors were completely exposed. His eyes began to dart around in a panic, as if he had done something wrong, and he didn't dare to look the others in the eye.

At this moment, the conflict between the four of them completely erupted. Their ugly true colors were exposed, and they began to accuse each other, revealing all their secrets and shameful deeds without any restraint.

The four people who got along well yesterday, like close partners, are now like strangers, having broken up completely, filled with hostility and distrust between them.

Zhu Xing was already annoyed by their argument, and now he had no time to listen to their nonsense any longer.

He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, I have more important things to do, I can't let you keep me waiting..."

Before Zhu Xing could finish speaking, a sense of worry welled up in Shi Xiaxia's heart.

Thinking that Zhu Xing had come to kill the four people, they rushed out without hesitation, wanting to stop him.

Just as she arrived in front of the four people, several talismans shimmering with mysterious light were affixed to their bodies.

Immediately afterwards, the four people's expressions gradually became empty and dull, and their eyes lost their luster.

They walked slowly and blankly toward the distant tent, like puppets being manipulated.

"This...this is a puppet talisman..." Upon seeing this, Shi Xiaxia's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, eased slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

But when she saw that the four people were not in any danger, she quickly turned her gaze away, staring intently at Zhu Xing with a look of vigilance in her eyes.

"What? Afraid I'll kill them?!"

Zhu Xing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and he asked softly.

Shi Xiaxia felt a surge of emotions, clutching several talismans tightly in her hand, her already tense nerves now on high alert.

She stared intently at Zhu Xing, her voice tinged with unease and accusation: "You knew my identity all along?!"
