The scholar opened his folding fan, shook his head, and smiled bitterly, "I must be crazy to accompany you in such a shady business; it's beneath my dignity!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bright red sedan chair suddenly reappeared.
The sedan curtain opened automatically, and the ghost bride slowly stepped out, exuding a chilling aura.
A cold voice came from under the red veil, "I just realized why you called me back for such a trivial matter. You want to get rid of me from my husband, don't you?"
Three-Eyed and the scholar exchanged a glance, both sensing that something terrible was about to happen.
They knew Qin Sixiang too well; she usually referred to herself as "this humble servant," and only used the term "I" when she was angry.
"Sixiang, you've misunderstood, I..."
Three-Eyed was about to say something when the Ghost Bride interrupted him, "You want to sabotage him so you can win the bet, right?"
He understands the Ghost Bride, and the Ghost Bride understands him just as well.
Having said all that, San Yan could only manage an awkward laugh. "Si Xiang, I was just joking with him. Don't worry, it won't interfere with our plans."
He had barely finished speaking when he saw the ghost bride turn into a blur, and he immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly went on his defense.
The next instant, he was blasted away.
Not only him, but the red veil suddenly flew towards the scholar, startling him so much that he retreated repeatedly, waving his fan and constantly creating gusts of violent wind in an attempt to blow the red veil away.
"Sixiang, why did you hit me? It was all his idea."
The wicked bride snorted, "You're the one who sent me back, you're the one who cooperated with his performance, you both deserve to be beaten."
What followed was quite a spectacle: the ghost bride chased after the three-eyed man and beat him mercilessly, while the red-veiled man chased after the scholar, running around everywhere.
He fought two against one, yet still had the upper hand.
"Sixiang, I was wrong. Don't worry, that kid will definitely be fine and will be back in a month or two."
The three-eyed woman begged for mercy repeatedly, and the ghost bride, perhaps having vented her anger enough, finally stopped.
"If anything happens to him, I'll gouge out all three of your eyes."
After saying this, the ghost bride climbed into the sedan chair and left again.
As soon as she left, Three-Eyes burst into laughter. "Finally got rid of him! Come here, let's see how that kid is doing now?"
As he spoke, he reached out and ran his hand across the chessboard, instantly transforming the rough surface into a smooth mirror.
A dynamic image appeared in the mirror, showing Xia Tianqiong being besieged in the barbican.
"Alright, give this brat a good beating. Who told him to steal Sixiang's heart and make me suffer this beating?"
The three-eyed man watched with great interest, his face beaming with delight.
The scholar also came over and looked down. "With this bizarre scene, anyone who goes in, except for the Ghost King, will become useless. Don't kill this kid. If it delays our plans, I won't let Sixiang off the hook, and I won't let you off the hook either."
Without even looking up, San Yan replied nonchalantly, "Don't worry, he won't die. At most, he'll suffer a bit. When the time I set is right, he'll naturally..."
Before he could finish speaking, San Yan suddenly stopped.
Then, a scene appeared on the screen that shocked him.
