Chu Xiaoxuan got a signal from Jiang Muyao and hurried to follow.
Lin Xiuyuan's face turned pale and blue. He couldn't imagine that Jiang Muyao could get in so easily without the help of treasures.
In the end, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow. The treasure he wanted was in the house, and he had to go in...
Who knew, when he was only one step away from the threshold.
The wooden door suddenly slammed shut.
Lin Xiuyuan was caught off guard and his nose hit the door directly, causing him to bleed immediately.
He was in so much pain that tears were about to come out...
He covered his bleeding nose, not being able to figure out for a moment whether this was the old house's defense mechanism.
Or was it Jiang Muyao who was deliberately targeting him?
But no matter what, he has lost all his face and dignity now, and he can't pick it up again.
Even so, he had no choice.
If you don't take out the treasure to open the door and walk in directly, the treatment will be very different from being sucked in by the old house.
He took out a treasure from his arms, which emitted a faint light.
Lin Xiuyuan pointed it at the wooden door with a painful look on his face, muttering something. As the light flickered, the wooden door slowly opened.
He then cautiously entered the main house.

Chu Xiaoxuan looked at the closed wooden door and was startled. She subconsciously turned to look at Jiang Muyao.
Seeing that Jiang Muyao's expression remained unchanged, he immediately understood that this must have been done by Sister Jiang.
He was secretly happy and muttered: He deserves it. He acts like a big shot and looks superior all the time.
Now you’ve been dealt with!
You still want to feel superior in front of my sister Jiang. You are really a dung beetle looking for shit!
"Sister Jiang, my second brother is very concerned about his reputation. You just..."
Chu Xiaoxuan was about to complain to Jiang Muyao, but before she could finish her words, Jiang Muyao stopped her with a shushing gesture.
Jiang Muyao stopped and looked around.
The yard was eerily quiet, and the things she had seen hanging on the big locust tree outside had disappeared.
She squinted her eyes and tried to look deeper into the house, but found everything blurry and a layer of fog blocking her sight.
Jiang Muyao turned her head and whispered to Chu Xiaoxuan:
"Xiaoxuan, follow me closely and don't look around."
She took out a piece of red thread, handed it to Chu Xiaoxuan, and instructed:
"Hold this and don't let go of it no matter what. This way, even if you get separated, you won't be in danger."
Chu Xiaoxuan knew the seriousness of the matter, nodded obediently, and held the red string tightly. This was a life-saving thing!
Jiang Muyao took Chu Xiaoxuan's hand and walked into the house...
The moment they crossed the threshold of the house, Jiang Muyao suddenly felt her hands empty.
She looked down at her empty palms.
Sure enough, Chu Xiaoxuan disappeared...
The surrounding scenery also changed. The originally dilapidated old house suddenly became brand new. Big wedding characters were pasted on the carved windows, and red lanterns were hung under the eaves.
Jiang Muyao looked at the scene in front of her with great interest.
I don’t know whether this house treats her differently or everyone who enters will face this illusion.

Chu Xiaoxuan was in a room decorated very festively, wearing a gorgeous wedding dress.
She held the red thread tightly in her hand, but her mind was confused. She had no idea why she was holding it, nor did she know what the red thread was used for.
The red wire felt slightly hot, as if something was gently pulling at the other end.
She was lost in thought when a group of maids and servants came in.
The leader was the old woman Wang Mama.
Mother Wang smiled and called out eagerly:
"Miss, what are you thinking about?"
"Hey? What's that in your hand? Put it down!"
I will do your makeup first, the auspicious time is almost here."
The maids beside them also echoed:
"Yes, miss, don't miss the auspicious time!"
"Put it down, miss. This red string is not suitable for you to hold now!"
The bronze mirror reflected Chu Xiaoxuan's current appearance.
With willow-shaped eyebrows and cherry lips, she was in a trance for a moment.
"I am...the young lady of the Li family?"
"This... red line..."
She spoke hesitantly, but paused when she heard the soft voice. She clearly remembered that her voice was not like this...
Seeing that Chu Xiaoxuan was unmoved, Mother Wang frowned slightly, but she still had a smile on her face. However, she could detect a hint of urgency in her tone:
"Ouch! My lady!"
"Are you crazy with joy? The red thread may have a good meaning, but today is your big day, and dressing up is the most important thing!
If you miss the auspicious time, the master will be very unhappy if he finds out."
As he said this, he was about to pull the red thread in her hand.
Chu Xiaoxuan clenched her fists suddenly. For some reason, the red line made her feel tight in her heart.
She shook her head and said to Mother Wang:
"Mother Wang, I can't let it go. It seems very important to me."
Mother Wang's expression gradually turned ugly, but she remained patient.
"Miss, please stop being so willful!"
"Look at all the festive things in this room, they are all prepared for your wedding.
What's better than the red thread in your hand? If you spread this out, people will laugh at you!"
The maids also followed suit, saying one thing after another, and their voices became louder and louder, and more and more chaotic.
It was as if she had committed a heinous crime by holding this red thread.
Chu Xiaoxuan's head began to buzz and the pain was unbearable...she screamed.
"Shut up, don't say anything more! I said I won't let it go, and no one can take it away from me!"
Mother Wang's face darkened and she glanced towards the door.
Two burly women immediately surrounded them, with fake smiles on their faces:
"Miss, the lady said that you must look beautiful when you go out today..."
Chu Xiaoxuan staggered backward, her back hitting the dressing table.
She looked through the bronze mirror and saw her pale face and the twisted smiles of the maids and servants around her.
"Get out of here!"
She suddenly picked up the silver hairpin on the table and waved it around.
"Whoever dares to touch me and this red line, I will stab him to death..."
Mother Wang's face lost its smile and became distorted.
"If you don't accept my toast, you'll be punished! Throw away the red line..."
She grabbed Chu Xiaoxuan's neck hard.
The feeling of suffocation made Chu Xiaoxuan's eyes go black, and she struggled desperately with her hands.
Suddenly, the red thread in her hand began to get hot...
A golden light shot towards Mother Wang, and black smoke suddenly began to emerge from her hand...
"ah!!!"
Mother Wang let out an inhuman scream, and her entire skin began to peel off, finally turning into a pool of blood.
Chu Xiaoxuan was frightened by this scene, but was only stunned for a second.
She stumbled towards the door, she wanted to escape...
"Sister Jiang, Sister Jiang..."
She murmured the name unconsciously, although she didn't know who Sister Jiang was.
After opening the door, Chu Xiaoxuan rushed out without thinking.
"Bang!"
She fell into a cold embrace...
