Thanks to [xuning] for giving me a drumstick. I'll update if I get one more drumstick^_^

…

We all looked at Ning Changfeng. Even if Ning Xue and Man Yuanyi knew a little, they couldn't possibly know more than Ning Changfeng. To quell the bloody disaster at Ningjiazhuang and protect Ning Xue from harm, there was only one way to go, and that was to resolve the resentment in Ge Pulan's heart!

Ning Changfeng was silent for a long time, then said, "Actually, this whole thing was done by my father, Ge Puxiong. Ge Pulan just took revenge on the wrong person."

We looked at each other in bewilderment, and Ning Xue subconsciously asked, "What did my grandfather do to my grandmother?"

Ning Changfeng's hawk-like eyes narrowed into slits as he spoke, "Your grandfather, Ge Puxiong, was a genius at casting poisons since childhood. Under your grandmother's guidance, he was already a master at casting poisons by the time he was eight or nine. Even your grandmother was extremely wary of the poisons he cast. When your grandfather was ten years old, your grandmother mysteriously disappeared due to the terrifying "Love Gu" curse of the Miao people. However, your grandmother was completely unaware of it at the time. Your grandfather had already planted the "Wrongful Death Gu" in her body. Those infected with this Gu will not only be unable to reincarnate after death, but the Gu will also eat away the heart within the corpse. It is a very terrifying Gu, especially for the dying, and it is most deadly."

I was secretly shocked. How could the Miao people's witchcraft be so terrifying? I remembered the corpse of Cui Han I had seen in Jiulong Mountain. He was also killed by the golden silkworm Gu and his bloody death. I suddenly felt a sense of horror towards the Miao border area, and within the horror, a little yearning.

And from this point we can know that the deaths of the guests of Ningjiazhuang and Butler Li were all caused by having their hearts dug out. Just as Su Xiaoniu said, the ghost Ge Pulan would dig out people's hearts when killing people. Perhaps it was because her body was eaten empty of its heart by the wrongful death Gu.

At this time, Ning Xue's eyebrows were furrowed, and her fair face was full of disbelief. She asked, "Why is my grandfather so cruel? Why did he do this?"

Ning Changfeng's eyes wandered as he said, "No one knows what he wanted to do. He didn't tell me until after he died. Yet, your grandmother's ghost, unable to reincarnate, came after me because of this. Actually, I am innocent."

We were all speechless. Even with this, we still didn't know what was going on. Unless we could call Ge Puxiong out, but Ge Puxiong was already dead, probably reincarnated into another family. How could we find him? In other words, all the clues had been cut off at this point!

"That's not necessarily true." Su Xiaoniu suddenly said mysteriously, "I told you, you can't completely trust Ning Changfeng's words. Maybe he's hiding some truth. You have to be on guard."

I nodded. Su Xiaoniu was right. Ning Changfeng couldn't be completely trusted. Last time, I trusted him too much and was tricked into the Thousand People's Grave. If it weren't for Mei Mingyou, Huo Liang, Zhao Xi, and the others would have been trapped there long ago. Most importantly, why did the blue-tailed golden lizard have the blinding Gu?

I took this opportunity to raise this question with Ning Changfeng. Huo Liang, Zhao Xi, and Ning Xue were unaware of the situation and were completely confused. As for Man Yuanyi, he knew I'd requested some blue-tailed golden lizard tails that night, but he seemed completely unaware that the blue tails had been poisoned. His expression of shock was clear.

My suspicions about Man Yuanyi were instantly dispelled. I turned to look at Ning Changfeng. He had a solemn expression, as if he would not tolerate anyone offending his dignity. He said, "It's nothing. I just planted the Lost Mind Gu in the blue-tailed golden lizards to prevent them from escaping. I didn't ask anyone to give these things to you, and I didn't know you wanted the blue tail of the blue-tailed golden lizard. You can't blame me for this."

I was speechless for a moment. Damn, the way he put it, it seemed like I was the one who caused this trouble? If I hadn't needed the blue tail of the blue-tailed golden lizard to make a blue talisman, I wouldn't have been infected with this mind-destroying poison, and I wouldn't have been unable to hear what Su Xiaoniu was saying to me...

Okay, we are in the wrong this time, so we won’t bother with him!

Afterwards, Ning Changfeng leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and said nothing more. Huo Liang and Zhao Xi sat on the side, probably feeling sleepy since it was almost midnight. They sat together, closed their eyes, and gradually fell asleep.

Man Yuanyi went to the door to check if there was any noise. After making sure that there was no more sound from Ge Pulan, he sat down on a chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Ning Xue glared at me, pointed at the stench on her body, and said coquettishly, "This is the second time, and without my knowledge..."

I hurriedly said awkwardly: "The situation is urgent, I have no choice!"

Seeing how cowardly I was, Ning Xue suddenly burst out laughing and said with a smile, "Why are you so nervous? I won't ask you to compensate me for anything. At most, I'll just ask you to take responsibility."

Uh? Responsible?

Oh my god, you won't let me marry you, will you? No, sir, although I like women and have no resistance to beautiful women, I am not that easygoing!

I was just daydreaming when Ning Xue was already sprawled on the sofa, her eyes seductive and her hair flowing freely. The most eye-catching thing was the white cheongsam she hadn't changed out of for the ball today. The V-neck design revealed her sunken collarbone and the alluring cleavage that was faintly visible...

At this moment, she was lying on the sofa, and I was sitting next to her. From my angle, I could see the deep white cleavage on her chest and the half-dangling flesh. I almost couldn't control myself. If I didn't know that my blood was very precious, I would have had a nosebleed!
