recall

At midnight, light clouds obscured the moon, and the shadows of the trees danced. Lin Yuan got out of bed, glanced back at Yu Luo, and tucked the quilt in for her. "I won't bother you with this kind of thing. Just sleep well."

She tiptoed through the gallery, carrying a lantern. A dim yellow light streamed through the crack in the door of Madam Yun's house.

"Woo..." The sobbing sound was faint, one after another, high and low, endless, which made people feel creepy.

Lin Yuan froze, not knowing whether to walk or run.

There are no ghosts in this world. She silently repeated this three times in her heart, held her breath, and looked behind the rockery with a lamp. Oh, it turned out that it was the maid from your mansion who was burning paper.

Burning paper?! She gasped and turned to slip away.

"The girl must be frightened." A voice sounded from behind.

She turned around with a numb scalp and saw the maid's eyes, dark and empty like stagnant water, without a single tear.

Lin Yuan trembled all over, his heart was pounding, and the lights flickered.

The lights came on again, and the maid seemed to come back to her senses, frowning with difficulty, "I'm sorry, young lady, I was burning paper for my late husband. I guess I scared you."

"Indeed, the deceased is gone, please accept my condolences." Lin Yuan took two steps back and ran away quickly. If she stayed there, who knows what "interesting" topics would come up. Haha, she didn't want to know!

She ran to Madam Yun's door, took a few deep breaths, and knocked on the door a little hurriedly, "Madam Yun, excuse me."

"Please come in..." Yun Wanwan's voice sounded softer than before.

Lin Yuan pushed open the door, and the warm scent of sandalwood filled her nose. As she walked through the entrance, she heard some strange noises. A sweet scent like nectar filled her nose, which immediately soothed her tense heartstrings.

She peeked out from behind the screen and was stunned for two seconds when she saw the scene in front of her.

Behind the semi-transparent gauze curtain, a man with broad shoulders and narrow waist was seen embracing Yun Wanwan, with their arms around each other, a red quilt, half-exposed shoulders, misty and charming eyes, and heavy breathing.

The secular rules and regulations returned to Lin Yuan's mind from the sky. She turned her back and said, "Mrs. Yun... Madam Yun, I came to the wrong place. I'm sorry..."

She had just taken two steps when Madam Yun called out to her, "Stop! Don't you want to learn how to control your husband? Just stand here and watch."

Who's going to stop? Your arrangement is very clear, but this is not what I want to learn!

Lin Yuan ran out without looking back. There was a "click" sound of the lock closing. "Girl, hurry up!" A figure flashed outside the door.

When she pushed the door open, it was already too late. Oh my god! Are you seriously ill? Why did you lock the door when you told me to leave?

Alas, even a dagger cannot cut the lock.

Madam Yun chuckled and said, "You disobedient child, do you really need me to use the girl you're traveling with as a bargaining chip before you obey me?"

"So Madam had planned this all along?" Lin Yuan had a hunch that Yun Wanwan was definitely not as gentle and virtuous as she appeared.

A charming voice came from the other side, "You have no choice."

Lin Yuan walked behind the screen, revealing half of her face, and watched the two people kissing each other.

Yun Wanwan said coquettishly, with emotions flashing in her eyes, "This trick is called the oriole behind."

She watched with a blush on her face, amazed at the variety of postures.

Is it really that happy? she wondered.

After watching for a long time, she just felt bored. The two white pieces of meat were entangled with each other. She rubbed her frowning brows. It was boring and tedious. It was like losing control while controlling a puppet, which made her feel disgusted.

She sat and watched peacefully, feeling as if she had ascended into an immortal, overlooking the world.

She played with the dagger in her hand, pointed the tip at the two people on the bed, and then put her hand down.

No, no, this is too unsportsmanlike.

The fox on the screen stared at her with a smile. She poked the fox's eyes in anger and said, "What are you looking at? You're just like your master!"

Suddenly, a hole appeared in the floor under her feet. Like magic, she fell into the hole, and the floor returned to its original state, as calm as before.

When Yun Wanwan heard that she had triggered the mechanism, her eyes flashed. She pushed the man away, put on a deep purple gauze dress, opened the Xuan Ji and walked towards the basement.

The corners of her clothes fluttered as she walked quickly. As she turned a corner, a sharp meteor slid towards her. She dodged sideways and reached out to grab the attacker's arm, capturing her.

"Tsk, the Master of Jifeng Tower is truly getting weaker with each generation. Is he now powerless?"

Lin Yuan's heart trembled, and she turned around and asked, "How do you know I am..."

"Because I am..." She smiled charmingly and whispered a few words in Lin Yuan's ear, causing Lin Yuan's brain to freeze and it took a while to recover...

Yun Wanwan curled the corners of her mouth, and as she expected, he easily took away her dagger.

Lin Yuan's mood at the moment was just like what she wrote in her elementary school composition: "My mood is mixed, as if all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were spilled and mixed together."

"You are sick."

With so many words and so many mixed feelings, she could only utter one sentence: "Are you sick?"

…

Yu Luo and You Yinglong rushed into the house and searched everywhere without finding anything. Yu Luo grabbed the man they had tied up and demanded fiercely, "Where's my sister?"

The man looked dazed, and he just kept muttering, "Wanwan, Wanwan, Wanwan..."

Yu Luo shook the man's collar, "Speak up! Where is my sister?"

"Hey... Miss Yu, calm down first," You Yinglong said, "He's been poisoned and unconscious. You can't get anything out of him."

"Ah?" Yu Luo let go of his hand angrily. My little snake didn't know either. Where would my sister be?

"Wanwan, Wanwan, Wanwan..." The man continued to mutter.

You Yinglong swung his scabbard and knocked him unconscious.

"If there is no other way, just destroy the mansion..." You Yinglong said solemnly.

"Of course we have to take it down! Who dares to kidnap our host?"

Zhu Wanling strode in front of Yuan Xuanlang and walked in, looking very proud and confident, if you ignored the child clinging to her side.

Finally saw the mark.

You Yinglong's relaxed brows suddenly twisted. He, who was usually calm and silent, could hardly contain his shock, "Left Protector...you have a child?!"

The little girl was dressed in rags and had disheveled hair, looking like a little beggar.

The little girl was frightened by his scrutinizing eyes. She hid behind her in fear, clutching the corner of her clothes, and called out "Mom" softly.

She immediately retorted, "No, no, no, I picked up this little brat. No, she clung to me!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Don't bother with her. Your host is in danger of life or death." Yuan Xuanlang knocked on the scabbard impatiently.

Yu Luo: "I saw my sister enter this room with my own eyes..."

"Why don't you follow her?" Yuan Xuanlang was a little annoyed.

Yu Luo's eyes were covered with mist. "My sister didn't want me to know. She left secretly. I couldn't..."

Yuan Xuanlang's tone softened slightly, and he calmed down. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you. There must be some secret mechanism hiding the person. Everyone, check carefully."

Everyone dispersed to investigate.

Yuan Xuanlang was attracted by the northern fox painted on the screen. He thought of the long and secluded entrance hall, which was located in the northern yin area. There was a window above the couch to let in sunlight, and the screen was used as a partition between the yin and yang worlds.

The moonlight shone, and Beihu's green eyes sparkled. He stared at her for a while, pressing his index finger against Beihu's eyes.

A square hole was revealed in the floor below.

“Found it!”

He pushed himself up with both hands and jumped down, landing on the ground. "It's okay, you can come down!" Then he said jokingly, "Protector Zhu, there's no need to come down. Protect your child!"

"What do you mean my child! It's your uncle's child!" Zhu Wanling roared angrily.

Yu Luo and You Yinglong looked at Zhu Wanling with pity, then jumped down.

Zhu Wanling had no choice but to sit down cross-legged with the little girl, and poked the little girl's head with her finger, "You little brat, do you know that I am a member of the Demon Sect, and I only eat children like you!" After that, she inserted the knife into the floor, raising a cloud of dust, and put on a fierce look.

The little girl was frightened and immediately hugged her waist and cried, "Wu... Mother, have you forgotten Xiao Lian? Xiao Lian begs for a living just to find mother... Mother doesn't want me anymore, wu..."

"Go find your own mother and don't blackmail me!" She pulled Xiao Lian who was clinging to her.

The child knelt on the ground, her thin body frail and fragile. She sobbed, "Xiao Lian has no mother... Mom passed away due to illness..."

She paused.

Damp, cold memories flooded her mind.

The autumn rain was drizzling, and she was alone in the moldy thatched hut. Her only relative had passed away, and she cried for a long time and slept for a long time until she was hungry and her abdomen was cramping.

"Come, have a steamed bun." A gentle and elegant woman handed her a snow-white steamed bun that was still steaming.

"Your mother is dead. Come with me. I will be your master and ensure that you have enough food and warm clothes and have nothing to worry about," said the woman.

…

Seeing Xiao Lian sobbing, she felt sorry for her. She stroked her head and softened her tone, "Okay, sister won't chase you away."

She got no response.

Little brat, you’re still stubborn with me! Your crying gave me a headache. She held Xiao Lian in her arms. This is how mothers should comfort their children.

She felt the child's shoulders in her arms still trembling but gradually subsided. After a while, she realized that Xiao Lian had fallen asleep. She sighed helplessly: "After all, she is just a child."

Everything was silent, and her eyes dimmed.

She was still young at the time, unaware that everything she gained had its own risks, and foolishly followed her "master," no, a madwoman, and was forced to learn martial arts, help her kill people and make mummies, and learn the art of sex...

Fortunately, her master intended to become the owner of the building, but his plan was exposed and he escaped from Jifeng Building. Thanks to Lin Yuan's guarantee, she was not implicated and escaped from the sea of ​​suffering.
