Bai Youhui quickly admitted after a moment's thought: "It has been many years, but these things are just like rats, every household has them. Ever since I can remember, every now and then I would hear that something in the house had been stolen by a weasel, or that someone had seen a weasel in broad daylight."
Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he asked incredulously, "Could it be that this Yellow Immortal has lived in our Bai family for hundreds of years, always protecting us and ensuring good weather and abundant harvests? Now that this has happened, the Yellow Immortal and his whole family have moved away, and the Bai family has lost the Yellow Immortal's protection and is going downhill?"
Yuan Qi patted his arm: "You're a quick learner. You've thought of all that, so why couldn't your grandfather?"
Bai Youhui slapped his forehead in regret: "It really is like that! My second uncle's family has really ruined the Bai family. Is it too late to invite the Weasel back now?"
Yuan Qi looked at him like he was an idiot and didn't say anything.
Yuan Qi turned and glanced at Bai Fujun, asking curiously, "Bai Fujun seems a bit off, what do you think of him?"
Bai Youhui was very disdainful and disliked Bai Fujun, his eyes filled with indignation: "It's not just abnormal, it's downright insane. He's fine during the day, just like a normal person, but he goes crazy at night. As soon as it gets dark, he won't let anyone serve him, and there can't be anyone in or around his courtyard. I don't know what kind of madness he's having. It's a shame that Grandpa made him the next head of the family. Apart from being a little smart, I really can't see any special abilities in him."
Bai Youhui had also been observing Yuan Qi's work these past few days and asked him, "Could he be possessed by some evil spirit?"
Yuan Qi curled his lips into a mysterious smile and said, "Very likely."
Bai Youhui sighed, already planning to go back and immediately tell his grandfather to discuss countermeasures.
At that moment, someone walked quickly past Yuan Qi and bumped into her, causing her to stumble forward.
Bai Youhui reacted quickly, catching Yuan Qi. He was about to curse at him, but when he looked up and saw that it was Jiang Juncai, he gave up the idea of cursing.
"What is the young master rushing off to?" Bai Youhui muttered curiously, knowing that Jiang Juncai was not such a rude person.
Immediately afterwards, Li Huilin ran out and caught up with Jiang Juncai.
Yuan Qi didn't sense anything amiss. Jiang Juncai had just passed by without any malevolent or evil aura. She simply assumed that Jiang Juncai was in a hurry, which was why he was walking so fast and bumped into her.
Jiang Jiulu also came out and stood next to Yuan Qi: "I really don't know what to say about her. From the moment she came in, she didn't intend to chat or drink tea with the guests. She was only looking at the older brother. As soon as the older brother went out, she hurriedly chased after him. It's so outrageous."
She was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet, but she couldn't do anything about Li Huilin. Unfortunately, she had to entertain guests and couldn't leave.
"I have no idea what she's up to this time, it's driving me crazy."
Someone inside called her, so Jiang Jiulu had no choice but to go back inside.
A woman pulled Jiang Jiulu aside: "Why are you paying attention to her? The young master is so shrewd, how could he be outsmarted by her?"
Jiang Jiulu thought about it and realized it made sense, so she didn't take it to heart.
Jiang Juncai walked very fast. Several male servants came towards him, bringing tea and water. He shouted, "Get out of the way!"
The servant had already intended to make way, but upon hearing Jiang Juncai's words, he quickened his pace and stood by the roadside.
Jiang Jun walked briskly, heading straight for the secluded spot by the lotus pond.
He wanted to kill, and the intense urge was becoming uncontrollable, as if someone was about to burst out of his body at any moment. He didn't know what it was; he only knew that he was struggling against the urge, and his mind was about to be overwhelmed by the urge to kill.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, using the pain to stay awake.
The black mist in his eyes was overflowing, his brown pupils were sometimes stained by the black mist and sometimes clear. Several servants walked towards him. When they saw Jiang Juncai's face was ashen, they dared not look at him for long. They quickly lowered their heads and stood by the roadside. They did not dare to look at him at all, so they did not notice his abnormality.
After Jiang Juncai left, the two maids were still gossiping: "What's wrong with the young master? Who made him angry?"
Because Jiang Juncai walked very fast, Li Huilin practically jogged to keep up, almost losing him in the process. When she arrived at the lotus pond, she found it deserted, without even a servant in sight. Secretly pleased, she knew it was time to confess her feelings.
She took a step forward, only to find two maids standing up from behind the flowers beside the lotus pond, each holding a bamboo basket filled with flower petals.
Jiang Juncai didn't know what kind of evil magic he used to control the two maids.
The two maids slowly rose into the air with their feet dangling.
Li Huilin's mouth gaped open, too afraid to utter a sound. She watched helplessly as a cloud of black mist spilled from Jiang Juncai's hands, forming a rope that wrapped around the necks of the two maids. The maids struggled desperately, but soon became unresponsive.
Then a wisp of soul emerged from their bodies, turning into smoke and entering Jiang Juncai's body through his facial features.
Then the bodies of the two maids fell to the ground.
Li Huilin ran over and pointed at Jiang Juncai, saying, "Why did you kill them?"
The black mist in Jiang Juncai's pupils dissipated, and he regained his senses.
Upon seeing the corpse on the ground, he realized what he had done and took a step closer to Li Huilin.
Li Huilin retreated in fear. She regretted coming out so rashly. She noticed the murderous intent in Jiang Juncai's eyes and became even more frightened, retreating step by step.
Jiang Juncai grabbed her collar and asked, "What did you see?"
Li Huilin originally came to confess her feelings to Jiang Juncai. She was worried that Jiang Juncai wouldn't like her, so she quickly came up with a stupid idea and told Jiang Juncai everything she had seen.
"...You killed them! I saw it with my own eyes! You ate their souls!"
Jiang Juncai was very strong; Li Huilin's feet were off the ground, and his killing intent became even more obvious.
Li Huilin said, "As long as you agree to marry me, I won't tell anyone about this!"
She boldly stated her conditions, expecting that she would have her soul absorbed by Jiang Juncai like the two maids. However, to her surprise, Jiang Juncai suddenly let go and released her.
"Alright, I agree, but you can only be my concubine."
Being a concubine is fine too. Li Huilin knows her own limitations. She is already content to be Jiang Juncai's concubine.
She immediately agreed: "Okay, it's settled then."
She actually hugged Jiang Juncai directly: "If you dare to go back on your word, don't blame me for revealing your secret."
The crisp scent of cedarwood filled her nostrils, and Li Huiling felt like the wisest and happiest woman in the world.
But Jiang Jun didn't think so. He tried hard to recall what had just happened, but he had no recollection of it at all. He was certain that he had just lost control of his body.
There must be evil spirits inside my body!
