Upon learning this background, Zu An thought that it was really difficult. He wondered if anyone in the academy knew about it. Given his relationship with them, he should be able to ask them for help.
"By the way, what is the principle behind curse spells? Do they require items on the target's body or personal belongings?" Zuan asked. In his previous life, similar curse spells usually required the target's hair, nails, birth date and time, or long-term personal belongings. If curse spells are like that, it would be much easier to find the culprit.
“No need for that. Generally speaking, the caster will raise some evil spirits or other malevolent creatures to harm people,” Sang Hong, with his exceptional knowledge, immediately explained. “It is said that the art of cursing originated from the demon race, and the powerful beings on the demon race can even kill people in their dreams.”
"The demon race?" Zu An's heart stirred, and he suddenly thought of the woman in the Red Sleeve Pavilion. "I think I already know how to solve this."
Sang Hong and his daughter stared at him in surprise, clearly not understanding why he had come up with a solution so quickly.
Zuan said, "Dan... cough cough, Miss Zheng, please rest here. That evil spirit shouldn't be back for a while after I scared it away. I'm going out for a bit."
Zheng Dan bit her lip and shook her head. If the Sang family father and daughter hadn't been there, she would have even grabbed their sleeves.
Clearly, after what just happened, she was no longer afraid to rest alone.
Zuan was also a bit troubled. Seeing this, he said, "How about this, you come with me."
Considering the Sang family's reputation, he couldn't very well take their young mistress out alone, so he said to Sang Qian, "Xiao Qian, come along too."
"Okay!" Sure enough, upon hearing him say that, the expressions of the Sang father and daughter improved considerably.
Sang Hong said, "Nephew, do you need my help?"
Zu An chuckled awkwardly, "No need for that. We'll ask Uncle for help when we need it."
That place was really inconvenient for an upright old man like him to go.
Sang Hong had no doubts, and instead exclaimed, "My nephew is always reliable, so I am at ease."
At the same time, I felt a pang of sadness. If Qian'er had even half of his abilities, she wouldn't have ended up like that.
He was in low spirits and left after exchanging a few words.
Only Zu An and his two companions remained in the room. Sang Qian asked curiously, "Where are we going? Let's set off now."
Zuan remained unmoved: "I'm afraid you'll need to change your clothes."
When asked to change into men's clothing, Sang Qian was initially puzzled, but immediately began to imagine: it was probably to conceal their whereabouts, firstly to avoid the mastermind discovering them in advance, and secondly to avoid the sisters-in-law from causing all sorts of gossip by traveling with a foreign man.
Although I am not as beautiful as my sister-in-law, I am still considered pretty, and if we go out together, we easily attract too much attention.
So she naturally agreed without any resistance. As for Zheng Dan, now that she could stay by Zu An's side, she was even less concerned about dressing up as a man.
Sang Qian was originally going to look for men's clothing, but Zheng Dan said, "I have some here."
She was, after all, a former powerful gang leader, so she still had all the necessary equipment.
Sang Qian then sent Zu An to the outer room, where the two women, sister-in-law and aunt, huddled together and began to change their clothes.
When the two came out, Zu An's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Red lips and white teeth, handsome face, he must attract a lot of girls' attention on the street, wondering which family's charming young master he is."
Sang Qian blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed by his praise, and quickly said, "Let's go."
"Okay!" Zu An's smile was a little strange, which made Sang Qian feel uneasy, but she soon understood why he was smiling like that.
Staring at the conspicuous signboard of Hongxiuzhao in the distance, she trembled all over: "You brought us to a place like this?"
