Su Yang glanced over, stretched out her hand and placed it on the arm of the man beside her. Her light voice was gentle and said, "Since we have reached an agreement, let's go back first and not disturb Aunt Cao and the others. You have been driving all day and drinking a lot today, so you must be tired!"

Rong Zhan looked back, and his peripheral vision just happened to see the red light flickering slightly on the Bodhi beads on her wrist, and a trace of emotion flowed through his deep dark eyes.

"Then let's go back. The two uncles and aunts have been busy all day and must be tired. They should rest early."

Seeing the young couple getting up to prepare porridge, Cao Xiuqin and the others did not try to stop them. They sent them to the door and nodded, saying, "Okay, you have come all the way from the capital today, and the weather is not good, so go back and rest early."

"Yangyang, Xiaorong, when are you planning to return to the capital tomorrow?" Xie Lingjuan walked up and asked with a smile.

"I'll probably be back in the morning."

"Oh, I was thinking that it would be okay if you go back in the afternoon and come to my place for lunch tomorrow at noon. Xiaorong has helped my family so much, but we don't even have time to treat him to a meal. I always feel a little sorry." Xie Lingjuan sighed softly, her kind and round face full of regret.

Su Yang and Rong Zhan looked at each other and said, "Okay, then we can leave after 2pm tomorrow."

"Well, it's settled then. No changes are allowed. Tomorrow I'll show you my cooking skills so you can taste my cooking." Upon hearing this, Xie Lingjuan immediately clapped her hands with a smile on her face and agreed.

"In that case, if you wake up early tomorrow morning, come directly to my house for breakfast. If you get up late, it's okay, you can go directly to your Aunt Juan's house for lunch. Young people should get a good rest. You still have to drive back tomorrow, and you can't drive while tired." Cao Xiuqin smiled and instructed.

Su Yang felt that the evil aura was getting stronger and stronger, so he took Rong Zhan's arm and squeezed it gently. The two of them exchanged a few simple greetings, took two bottles of water, and returned to their own courtyard under an umbrella.

As soon as he entered, a strong murderous aura hit him in the face, choking Rong Zhan, who had just drunk a lot of wine, and made him cough uncontrollably.

"Are you okay?" Su Yang asked hurriedly upon seeing this.

After Rong Zhan recovered, he shook his head: "...It's okay."

The two walked into the house. There was a pure black evil aura swirling around the roof. Perhaps it sensed the spiritual energy of Su Yang and Rong Zhan. The evil aura circled above twice and directly split into a strange black shadow that was neither human nor ghost, with blood flowing from the corner of its mouth.

Eerie and scary.

There was also a particularly unpleasant smell of corpse.

Su Yang frowned. This was not an ordinary evil spirit. It was different from the ones she had encountered before.

Su Yang subconsciously took out the bodhi bead from his wrist and glanced at the black shadow floating in the air: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"roar--"

The strange black shadow suddenly let out an unpleasant and resentful roar, and the next moment, it suddenly pounced towards Su Yang.

"Wen Yang, be careful." Rong Zhan's pupils trembled slightly, and he reflexively pulled Su Yang behind him to protect him.

But the black shadow suddenly stopped in front of the two of them and did not attack them. Instead, two hands of varying sizes kept gesturing in the air, as if to convey some message to them.

Seeing this, Su Yang walked out from behind Rong Zhan, glared at the black shadow with cold eyes, and asked tentatively: "You... have no ill will towards us?"

The dark shadow seemed to understand what she meant and nodded heavily.

Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Rong Zhan, and gently patted his arm, signaling him to rest assured.

In fact, it was the first time that she encountered such an evil spirit that was not aggressive towards her. In her previous understanding, she thought that the evil spirits approaching her were coveting her special fortune.

"So what do you want from us?" Su Yang did not completely let down his guard, and did not put the Bodhi necklace back on his wrist.

The black shadow gestured randomly in the air again, leaving Su Yang and Rong Zhan completely confused, not understanding what he wanted to express.

The dark shadow raised his hand and pointed at his mouth. There was no tongue inside.

Su Yang was startled, and a chill ran down his back for no apparent reason.

There was an obvious stench of corpse on his body, and a strong sinister aura, which meant that his current appearance was the same as his state before death.

He had suffered a lot.

This is an earthbound spirit.

The room was extremely quiet. Before Su Yang could come to his senses, a black shadow suddenly twisted, roared in pain twice, and disappeared from the room in an instant.

The hostility and stench of corpses that originally shrouded the house also dissipated at any time.

Su Yang and Rong Zhan were both stunned and looked around in surprise, but there was no trace of it, as if it was just a dream and the black shadow had never appeared.

Gone...

"What's going on?" Rong Zhan frowned, somewhat unable to understand.

Su Yang shook her head. This was the first time she encountered such a situation. She was completely confused and at a loss as to what to do.

"But... what we can confirm is that he's gone. I can't even sense his breath. He must have gone far away." Su Yang pursed his lips, not knowing why he suddenly disappeared.

He didn't attack her and Rong Zhan just now, but kept gesturing, as if he had something to say to them.

"Forget it, let's not worry about it for now. He should come back to see us again. Let's go upstairs and sleep. I'm so sleepy." Su Yang concentrated his thoughts, yawned, and pulled Rong Zhan upstairs.

Perhaps they were really too tired. Su Yang and Rong Zhan fell asleep not long after lying in bed.

It was just dawn, there was a faint light in the clouds, the fresh air was filled with mountain mist, and the sound of raindrops rose and fell among the rolling mountains.

Su Yang, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt something strange in his body. He woke up with a start and sat up from the bed. It was dark all around him.

Su Yang frowned, with a very special feeling in his heart that was hard to describe.

"Hello, Miss Su."

Suddenly, a warm, ethereal male voice sounded in the room.

Su Yang suddenly raised his eyes, looked around, threw off the blanket, got out of bed and turned on the light in the room, but did not see any figure.

Before she could open her mouth, a black mist suddenly appeared at the door and gradually turned into a human shape. A handsome and tall figure in a dark black robe appeared in her slightly surprised clear and deep almond eyes.

"Who are you?" Su Yang looked at his handsome face, pursed his lips, and unconsciously touched the Bodhi beads on his wrist, questioning very vigilantly.

Junying took two steps towards Su Yang, nodded to her politely, and introduced himself, "Don't be afraid, Miss Su. I am Qianji, one of the Eight Great Emissaries of the Underworld. You should be familiar with me, Master Qiansui."

Su Yang suddenly realized that before leaving yesterday, Qiansui had said that Cangwu City was under Qianji's jurisdiction.

"Then who am I looking for...?"
