"I'll say it again: you're free here. Just let me know when you've made up your mind. Now, you can leave."

She flicked her sleeves.

A sheet of Xuan paper slipped from his sleeve, revealing half a ghost face stained with ink. Li Dou was horrified and quickly picked it up and unfolded it.

He would never do something so inappropriate.

Lian'er was startled and quickly tried to snatch it away.

"Don't look at the young lady's things without permission."

Li Dou, however, excitedly unfolded the paper and shouted at Jiang Qingwan, "What is this? Tell me what this is?"

He was too excited.

Worried that he might hurt Jiang Qingwan, Qing Sui immediately ran over and stood guard in front of him.

Jiang Qingwan glanced at the ghost face on the paper, then looked up at Li Dou, whose eyes were contorted with rage.

"This is the ghost-faced stone statue enshrined in the old street chief's house in Qingfeng Village. If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be related to the Sui Dynasty."

Li Dou's eyes widened suddenly.

"The...Great Sui Dynasty?"

Lian'er had already snatched the paper, carefully folded it, and handed it to Jiang Qingwan.

"Miss, please don't blame him, he's lost his mind."

Li Dou muttered to himself, chanting "Great Sui Dynasty," when suddenly he raised his hand and smashed it against his own head.

Extremely strong force.

Lian'er was terrified and raised her hand to stop him, but he threw her to the ground.

Qing Sui immediately stepped forward and delivered a swift chop to Li Dou, who instantly lost consciousness.

What's wrong with him?

Jiang Qingwan didn't explain, and stuffed the ghost-faced stone statue picture back into her waistband.

If this stone statue is indeed related to the Sui Dynasty, then Li Dou's unusual behavior may also be due to the Sui Dynasty.

"Let's help him to the stone pavilion to rest first, and I'll ask him more questions once he's calmed down."
