Jiang Juncai instructed his servants that if the Seventh Miss and her people came to do anything, they should let them do it without interference. If they needed help, they should follow the Seventh Miss's instructions.
So when Wen Zhujun buried things in front of and behind the house, Jiang Juncai's men not only didn't stop her, but also helped her dig the holes.
As soon as Jiang Jun returned, he saw Li Guiqie waiting for him in the room. She looked very fierce, with an unpleasant expression.
Concubine Li demanded sharply, "Someone saw Huilin come to your place the night before she died. I ask you, did you kill her?"
Jiang Juncai had no recollection of what happened that night. He was on duty today and left before dawn, so he was unaware that anyone had discovered Li Huilin was missing.
He had just returned, and the servants hadn't had a chance to tell him about it yet, so Jiang Jun was somewhat confused: "What is Aunt talking about?"
Although he asked this question aloud, he still wondered to himself if he had done something wrong. After he regained consciousness last night, Li Huilin disappeared. Had she left, or had he killed her and disposed of the body?
When Li Guiqie asked him that, he felt a little guilty.
Concubine Li grabbed his clothes, her expression filled with sorrow as she accused him: "Officer Liu has already found out that you promised Huilin you would take her as a concubine. If that's the case, why did you kill her? What were you thinking?"
Jiang Juncai hadn't expected that Consort Li would choose to report it to the authorities, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Concubine Li continued to question him: "Given your character, who wouldn't want my niece? I'm just curious, how could you agree to her request? Tell me, why did you agree to her request? What exactly happened between you two!"
Jiang Juncai shoved Li Guiqie away, his eyes turning fierce, as if he wanted to devour her.
Concubine Li fell to the ground, even more certain that Li Huilin's death was related to Jiang Juncai. Her hair was disheveled. She got up from the ground and shouted at Jiang Juncai, "Are you feeling guilty? Did I guess right? I'm asking you, when did Huilin come to see you last night? Why did she come to see you? What did you talk about? Tell me everything."
Jiang Juncai felt himself becoming somewhat out of control, with a strong urge to kill that he could barely suppress. The jade talisman he carried was burning hot, and he knew that the evil spirit had acted up again, and he might kill Li Guiqie.
He also suspected that he might have killed Li Huilin.
Murder is punishable by death; he absolutely cannot let anyone find out that he killed Li Huilin. He felt the jade talisman on his body getting hotter and hotter, so hot that he could hardly bear it, and he instinctively wanted to throw it away.
He still had a sliver of clarity left, forcing himself not to throw away the jade talisman. He was also horrified that even his seventh sister's jade talisman couldn't suppress this evil spirit; this evil spirit was truly powerful.
Fortunately, he is at home now; if he were in the palace, things would be much worse.
"If you don't want to die, hurry up and leave!" Jiang Juncai used his last bit of clarity to remind Li Guiqie to leave quickly.
Li Guiqie also noticed that Jiang Juncai was not quite right; dark mist welled up in his eyes and then receded, then welled up again and then receded again.
She didn't know what was going on, and had no interest in asking about Li Huilin. Instead, she asked Jiang Juncai, "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Juncai struggled against the evil spirit, and he could feel that the evil spirit wanted to control him and was fighting for control of his body. He was about to give up.
Although Seventh Sister's talisman couldn't ward off evil spirits, it at least bought him some time, letting him know that there were indeed evil spirits in his body. However, these evil spirits were very powerful, and it was unknown whether Seventh Sister could deal with them.
He worried that even his seventh sister wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Get out!" he shouted angrily.
Concubine Li walked out while looking at him.
Jiang Juncai lost control of himself and reached out to Li Guiqie. Black mist overflowed from his fingertips, forming a rope that wrapped around Li Guiqie's neck.
Li Guiqie was terrified. As the black mist enveloped her, she ran desperately toward the door, but it was tightly shut and she couldn't open it at all. The next second, her feet were dangling in the air, and she instinctively screamed for help.
"Seventh Sister!" Jiang Juncai did not completely lose consciousness this time, but he lost control of his body. He watched helplessly as he committed the crime, trying to kill Concubine Li.
"No!" Jiang Juncai tried to negotiate with the black mist inside his body. He could feel someone inside him trying to possess him.
"Your body is perfect for me," the mysterious person inside the body said arrogantly. "Don't use those useless things to guard against me anymore. Those little tricks won't work on me."
"It's still useful; at least I know what you did."
Li Guiqie felt short of breath; she sensed that Jiang Juncai was no longer Jiang Juncai, but had become a different, evil person.
"Young Master, please let me go!" Li Guiqie spoke with all her might.
Jiang Juncai felt very guilty: "Aunt Li, I couldn't control myself."
Outside the door, Yuan Qi hadn't expected that the evil spirit would set up a barrier when it committed its evil deeds, preventing those inside from coming out and preventing her from entering.
Two exorcising talismans were thrown in succession, but the barrier remained completely unmoved.
Wen Zhujun was also a little anxious: "If you don't go in soon, Concubine Li will die."
Yuan Qi stretched out her right hand, and the next second a sword appeared in her hand. It was a bit long, and it didn't seem very convenient for someone her height to use.
"It's just a small barrier, it can't stop me." She raised her longsword above her head and slashed down fiercely.
The barrier shattered, and Yuan Qi burst through the door.
Consort Li was barely clinging to life; her face had turned a bluish-purple from holding her breath.
Wen Zhujun set up the isolation array outside again and then came in with Shen Xun.
Yuan Qi swiftly sliced through the black mist binding Li Guiqie with his sword.
Concubine Li fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Her complexion quickly returned to normal, and she looked at Yuan Qi in terror: "Xiao Qi, if you hadn't come, I would have died."
"Do you dare to cut me?" the black mist asked arrogantly. Seeing that Yuan Qi was still a little girl, it immediately became contemptuous. Even if she managed to get in, she couldn't do anything to him. How much magic power could a ten-year-old girl have? She couldn't even hurt him in the slightest, right?
"If you cut me, he will die too!" He knew very well that the sword in the other person's hand was a magic weapon, something like a glass sword, with a faint glow throughout. It was said to have been a magic weapon of a cultivator a hundred years ago, but he couldn't quite remember what it was called. How did it end up in this little girl's hands?
Yuan Qi remained calm and composed, his longsword sweeping across the room, a golden light flashing as it slashed towards Jiang Juncai, whose body was shrouded in black mist.
Black Mist wasn't stupid; he recognized the artifact and knew it was specifically designed to kill evil spirits and demons. It was incredibly powerful and couldn't harm mortals.
He could only remove himself from Jiang Juncai's body.
"I didn't realize you were so skilled." The black mist tried to escape, but just as it hit the wall of the house, it was bounced back by a golden light.
It hissed and emitted smoke.
