Yan Ning knew they were shamans. The old lady nodded, and they began to move around the room to the accompaniment of musical instruments and clapping, chanting incantations. Yan Ning could tell that the old lady mistook her for a demon.

After finishing his tour of the room, the shaman went to the courtyard, then to the east and west wing rooms and the servants' quarters. Finally, he returned to the main hall, looked at Yan Ning, sprayed water on her, and chanted a spell.

Yan Ning wiped the water droplets from her face with a handkerchief, looking at the old lady with confusion. "Old Madam, what are you doing?"

The shaman spoke to the old lady for a while, and the old lady looked at Yan Ning, "It's nothing, just dispelling the demonic energy from you!"

"Demon aura?" Yan Ning shook her head. "I am not a demon!"

Before Yan Ning could finish speaking, Granny Li and the shaman pulled Yan Ning into the courtyard, where the shaman's two disciples had already set up the altar. The shaman began to dance and sing around Yan Ning, occasionally moving a bell around her.

Yan Ning was held captive by Granny Li and couldn't move. She didn't believe that Granny Li thought she was a demon. Otherwise, why would she dare to hold her so tightly? Or was she emboldened by the shaman?

The shaman danced for a while, and then a few dark clouds drifted in, obscuring the golden sun. A strong wind then arose, and the shaman, seeing the heavens helping him, danced even more energetically, as if he possessed divine powers.

Yan Ning broke free from Li Mama's hand, turned and left, not wanting to be with these ignorant people. A loud bang startled Yan Ning, who covered her ears.

The shaman took the implement in his hand and pointed it at Yan Ning. Just then, a bolt of lightning struck, and Yan Ning fainted after her body emitted a pale blue light.

Remembering that she had previously captured Yan Ning, Granny Li collapsed to the ground in terror. The shaman, who had been bribed, was so frightened by the strange light emanating from Yan Ning that he dropped his belongings. The servants in the courtyard who had witnessed Yan Ning's glowing figure all hid in fear.
