Chapter 25 Take a Peek
Thinking about what was following him, Jiang Yunxi changed direction and went straight out of the capital to the nearby mountains. The sky gradually darkened, and the mountains were desolate and cold, with occasional sounds of birds and insects.
She stopped only when she reached a deserted open space.
"Come out." Jiang Yunxi's voice was clear, he stood straight, with a playful smile on his face.
Click, click—
Footsteps were heard.
Then a burly man appeared. There was no expression on his face, his eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, and he exuded a cold aura. He didn't look like a normal person.
Jiang Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly, and a curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She never expected that the Marquis Wenxin’s Mansion would actually keep ghost slaves. It really opened her eyes.
"This man has become a ghost slave." Xie Sirou was shocked. Lu Ze'an actually did such a cruel thing. When she first met him, he was gentle and elegant, and she fell in love with him at first sight.
I didn't expect that beneath his gentle appearance was a cruel heart.
"That's right." Jiang Yunxi said seriously. A ghost slave is the soul of a dead person who takes over the body of a normal person and completely merges with him. In the future, the soul can live in this body and can live longer with practice.
"A Taoist priest from a small Taoist temple shouldn't meddle in other people's business." The man said coldly with a look of disdain.
Jiang Yunxi laughed out loud and said contemptuously, "How dare a mere ghost general act so presumptuously in front of your aunt? Since you are courting death, you can't blame me."
The words fell.
She took out a paintbrush from her sleeve pocket and waved it quickly in the air. In an instant, a golden circular formation appeared on the ground and surrounded them.
The man's face changed after feeling the terrifying pressure. His expression gradually became ferocious, his eyes fierce as if he wanted to eat someone. He said disdainfully: "A mere trifle!"
After saying that, he strode towards Jiang Yunxi.
Jiang Yunxi stood still, and when the other party approached and swung his fist at her, she quickly went to another place, took a paintbrush and drew a rune somewhere in the formation, and then quickly went to the other four places to draw runes.
In an instant, the five places representing gold, wood, water, fire and earth suddenly burst into different colors.
When Jiang Yunxi saw the other party rushing towards her in anger, she bit her finger and dripped blood onto the center of the formation.
"it's over."
She flew out of the formation.
The man rushed towards her quickly, but when he reached the edge of the formation, he couldn't get out, as if an invisible barrier blocked him. He roared angrily inside, full of murderous intent.
Soon, the power in the formation bound him.
His knees gave way and he fell to the ground, his face distorted and his body shaking violently.
"You damn bastard!" The man roared at Jiang Yunxi with a ferocious look on his face and a painful expression.
"After living in someone else's body for so long, it's time to turn to ashes." Jiang Yunxi took the paintbrush and quickly drew a talisman on the formation.
"No, no..." After feeling something, the man shouted loudly with his eyes bloodshot, his voice full of fear and anxiety.
The formation burst out with a dazzling light, submerging the man. When the light disappeared, the man who was originally kneeling on the ground disappeared.
Jiang Yunxi put away the paintbrush and turned to leave.
She was really surprised and astonished that the Wenxinhou Mansion could raise ghost slaves. After all, it was not so easy to raise ghost slaves, and ordinary people simply could not do it. It seemed that the Wenxinhou Mansion knew a very powerful person in the Xuanmen.
It was completely dark when Jiang Yunxi returned to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion.
"The third young lady is back. The old lady and the others are waiting for you in the dining room for dinner." Butler Zhou was waiting at the door himself. When he saw her come back, he greeted her with a smile on his face.
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
When she came over, Momo and Mianmian ran towards her happily, calling her "Mom" softly. Although she came back so late, they knew that Mom would be fine. In their hearts, Mom was invincible.
Jiang Yunxi patted their heads and led them forward, "Grandma, next time I'm not home for dinner, you guys can eat first. You don't have to wait for me. Just leave some food for me."
"Well, okay..." The old lady thought about it and chose to listen to her.
"Yun Xi, why did you come back so late?" Jiang Jing'an asked with concern.
"I encountered a little trouble, but it has been resolved. It's not a big deal." Jiang Yunxi had a bright smile on her face. She was now very interested in the Wenxin Marquis Mansion and didn't know how they raised ghost slaves.
However, she killed Gui Nu, and the Wenxin Marquis Mansion should be able to find out soon.
Jiang Jingan said with a friendly smile, "If you need help, just tell Daddy."
"Thank you, Daddy." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
"Why are you setting up a fortune-telling stall on the street? You are the eldest daughter of the Duke of Yingguo, how can you do that kind of thing?" Mu said unhappily with a cold face. In the afternoon, she took Jiang Chenyu out to see the man.
She happened to see it when she passed by the main street. She was very angry at the time, but she was in a hurry so she didn't go there.
"No one says that the eldest daughter of the Duke of Yingguo can't set up a fortune-telling stall." Jiang Yunxi picked up the chopsticks and started eating the meat.
The old lady said coldly: "I agreed to it. If you have any objections, come to me."
Jiang Jing'an looked at Madam Mu and said, "My daughter just returned. She can do whatever she wants. Fortune-telling is not shameful. It can help people turn misfortune into fortune. It is a good deed."
"But……"
"Mother, Sister Yunxi is doing good deeds. We don't need to care about what others say." Jiang Chenyu persuaded in a gentle voice. She hoped that Jiang Yunxi would go out and show herself in public, and then everyone would point fingers at her.
Mu looked at her and said nothing more, but she was unhappy in her heart.
The Duke of England's Mansion had enough food, clothing and other necessities for her, so why would she set up a fortune-telling stall and bring shame to the Duke of England's Mansion?
"Uncle 2 and Uncle 3, have you asked anyone to come to our house to check on us?" Jiang Yunxi asked Jiang Shaoan and Jiang Hean after thinking of something.
Jiang Shaoan looked a little uncomfortable. "I asked someone to take a look, but they couldn't see anything..."
Jiang Yunxi smiled and said, "You can continue to look for more powerful people, but you still won't be able to see it."
Jiang Shaoan: “…”
After dinner.
Jiang Yunxi took Mo Mo Mian Mian back to her yard.
"Third sister." Jiang Jingyan quickly chased after her.
"Is there something wrong, second brother?" Jiang Yunxi looked at him with a smile.
Jiang Jingyan touched the back of his head and said uncomfortably, "Luckily you reminded me that day, otherwise I would have let my friend accept a high-priced fake. I thought of what you said that day and didn't interfere."
Today he was playing in his friend's pawn shop, and someone brought an antique over. He felt it was something special at first glance and wanted to ask his friend to take it away quickly, but after thinking about what Jiang Yunxi said, he let the other party decide for himself.
My friend accepted it, but found out in the evening that it was a fake.
Jiang Yunxi smiled: "I'm glad you're okay."
Jiang Jingyan asked curiously, "How did you know this in advance?"
Jiang Yunxi blinked and said, "I saw it with my eyes."
Jiang Jingyan: “…”
"Remember, don't speak without thinking next time, so as not to cause gossip and trouble." Jiang Yunxi glanced at his face and continued to remind him.
"I'll listen to you." Jiang Jingyan nodded heavily.
Jiang Yunxi said nothing more and took the two children back to the yard. After settling them down, she returned to her room and meditated on the floor. She wanted to make an exception and spy on the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion.
