Zhou Yuanyuan did not continue to ask why Zhou Xi was supported. Because, Zhou Yuanyuan did not need to ask.

A certain gossip-loving and omnipresent spirit beast jumped out to reveal: "Master, Master, Zhuzhu saw Zhou Xi just coming out of the Zhu family. The gray mist must be the "evil spirit" in Wang Wenjun's statue."

Evil spirit? What is this thing? It was the first time Zhou Yuanyuan heard this name.

"Master, 'evil spirits' belong to the 'spirit' clan. Unlike natural 'spirits', 'evil spirits' are raised by sorcerers using special methods. Their appearance is somewhere between spiritual beings and ghosts, and they possess a certain degree of magical power. 'Evil spirits' can absorb vitality and luck from their hosts and sacrifices to strengthen themselves." Chaos Pearl pondered for a moment, then continued, "By the way, I heard that evil spirits are very vengeful. Although they are not very powerful, they are very difficult to deal with. They will pursue those who are not in their favor and will not stop until they are dead."

"When Wang Wenjun made the offering, she prayed for the Zhu family's head's fortune to be enhanced. She didn't ask the 'evil spirit' to deal with anyone on her behalf. Because the 'evil spirit' hasn't consumed much of its mana over the years, Zhu Juan, the sacrifice, only suffered memory loss."

While recalling the past, Chaos Pearl diligently explained the facts to Zhou Yuanyuan.

Everything the Chaos Pearl knew was told to it by the butterfly spirit in the pendant space.

Butterfly had also told Chaos Pearl that Wang Wenjun's "evil spirit" possessed the power of "curse." However, Chaos Pearl didn't remember it at the moment, and naturally forgot to tell Zhou Yuanyuan either.

Chaos Pearl's words made Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes flash with anger.

No wonder it's called an "evil spirit," it's indeed a bit strange. To ask it to do something, you have to pay with all your heart. I wonder if Wang Wenjun will regret provoking such a "big Buddha" after understanding this truth?

However, although Wang Wenjun's "evil spirit" is powerful, Wang Wenjun did not use it to harm others. Logically, Zhou Xi is not a police officer in the Pacific, so he should not confront it, right?

Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Zhou Xi who was stretching his arms and legs beside her, and said nothing.

After Zhou Xi took Zhou Yuanyuan's pill, he was able to stand up in less than ten minutes.

Zhou Xi raised his chest, stretched his hands and kicked his legs. He felt that he was lucky to be able to save his life in a situation where he was sure to die.

He had failed in his task entrusted by Zhu Xiangyang. However, it was not entirely his fault. He only had limited abilities and could not deal with the powerful figure in Zhu Xiangyang's study. It seemed that there was nothing to be ashamed of.

After experiencing a life-or-death situation, Zhou Xi began to doubt Zhu Xiangyang and his words. How much water was there in them? How could an ordinary statue possess more powerful power than him, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage?

Forget it, there was nothing he could do about it. Let Zhu Xiangyang figure it out on his own! Zhou Xi couldn't afford to get involved, and he didn't want to get involved.

Zhou Xi was thinking about how to talk to Zhu Xiangyang next when Zhou Yuanyuan's voice rang out: "Grandpa Xi, was it Zhu Xiangyang who asked you to do the secret mission?"

"What are you..." Zhou Xi was halfway through his words when he realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. For a moment, Zhou Xi looked at Zhou Yuanyuan's bright smile with some embarrassment, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Grandpa Xi, I guessed. You'd better not take on dangerous missions like this in the future. Even if you can't refuse, you should at least tell me." Zhou Yuanyuan's tone was filled with a hint of complaint. Zhou Yuanyuan was also a member of the special operations team. In recent years, Zhou Yuanyuan had always been the one to take on the more unusual missions.

"Sister, the madam doesn't like you to participate in the mission again." Zhou Xi defended herself weakly.

"No matter what, Grandpa Xi, your safety is the most important. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think more about my great-grandfather. You are lucky today that you can escape safely. If something happened, I don't know how sad my great-grandfather would be!" There was a hint of suppressed anger in Zhou Yuanyuan's voice, and the tone of her words was a little hard.

Zhou Yuanyuan was indeed worried about General Zhou. General Zhou was in poor health, and he treated Zhou Xi like a brother. If Zhou Xi really died at the hands of Wang Wenjun's "evil spirit," General Zhou wouldn't know how heartbroken he would be!

"Sister, I understand. From now on, I will never hide anything from you." Zhou Xi figured it out. Indeed, if General Zhou was hurt due to his negligence, he would be blamed.

"Grandpa Xi, I hope you will always remember that we are a family." Zhou Yuanyuan said seriously.

"I understand, sister, thank you!" Zhou Xi's voice was choked with sobs.

The thing that touched Zhou Xi the most was that he was treated as a member of the Zhou family instead of a servant.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Xi is unwilling to cause trouble for the Zhou family.

"Sister, the matter has not been done. I will go to the sanatorium right now and tell Zhu Xiangyang to take care of himself." Zhou Xi quickly figured out what to do.

"Wait, Grandpa Xi, please check if you are wearing the jade talisman I gave you?" Zhou Yuanyuan reminded.

Zhou Xi had just fought with the "evil spirit", and Zhou Yuanyuan was afraid that as soon as Zhou Xi went out, the "evil spirit" would haunt Zhou Xi again.

The "Vajra Jade Talisman" was made by Yu, and each member of the Zhou and Zhao families had one. Zhou Yuanyuan was always willing to sacrifice for her relatives, and she wished she could arm them to the teeth.

"Sister, I always wear the jade talisman." Zhou Xi pulled out the red string around her neck. At the bottom of the red string was the "Vajra Jade Talisman" that Zhou Yuanyuan asked Yu to carve for her family.

Strange! How could Grandpa Xi, wearing the jade talisman, still be invaded by an "evil spirit"? Zhou Yuanyuan frowned. Could it be that Wang Wenjun's "evil spirit" was so powerful that even the jade talisman couldn't stop it?

"Master, master, I know the reason." The gossipy Chaos Pearl started raising her claws again.

"What do you know?" Zhou Yuanyuan was interrupted by the Chaos Pearl, and the thoughts that had just been sorted out flew away.

"That Zhou Xi is so stupid. When people asked him to destroy the statue, he didn't bring any talismans or use the Lie Yang Jue. He just grabbed it with his hands. Oh my! Master, you didn't see it. He was in Zhu Xiangyang's study, and his stiff posture was almost the same as that of the statue." The Chaos Pearl just went to Zhu Xiangyang's study and did a "time travel back", which made it almost die of laughter.

I didn't expect that Zhou Xi, who is usually very smart, actually has such a stupid side. If Chaos Pearl hadn't been afraid of Zhou Yuanyuan looking for him, he wouldn't have laughed enough by now!

Chaos Pearl's contemptuous tone made Zhou Yuanyuan roll her eyes at it.

But it seems really funny! What happened to Grandpa Xi? How could he make such a stupid mistake?

Just grab him directly? Hahaha... No wonder the "Vajra Jade Talisman" didn't activate its defense! The evil energy followed Zhou Xi's hand and easily invaded his body, right?
