Li Weiyan and Gao Yaozu were fooled by Jiang Lusheng and believed in his identity as a reclusive cultivator.
There were no more blind ghosts attacking them from behind, so the three of them just sat down on the ground and waited for three hours to pass.
The two people at the back felt tired and fell asleep back to back. Jiang Lusheng's presence gave them a great sense of security.
Jiang Lusheng closed his eyes and waited for time to pass.
As soon as the three hours were up, Lan Shuang snatched the housekeeper's key and went straight to open the door. This time she encountered no obstacles and opened it directly.
As soon as the door opened, she couldn't wait to go in, but as soon as she lifted her feet, someone picked her up and put her at the back.
Lan Shuang: “?”
Pei Jinzhi and his group behind him: "?"
Lan Shuang looked up after landing on the ground, and saw Jiang Lusheng looking at her with a smile, "So anxious?"
"I'm worried about you. What did you encounter in there? Was it scary?"
After asking this question, Lan Shuang felt that it was pointless to ask Jiang Lusheng, so she looked at the two people behind her.
Gao Yaozu and Li Weiyan came out arm in arm, yawning.
The butler, huddled in a corner, watched the scene in disbelief. "How is this possible? How come you're not scared at all? And you're still so energetic?"
Li Weiyan glanced at him and laughed, "Oh, are you possessed by a giant panda?"
The butler had a huge dark circle on each side of his eyes, which was very symmetrical.
Li Weiyan laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back, and he even leaned closer to take a closer look.
"Oh, this is truly heartening! I never thought our awe-inspiring butler would have such a day. Who did this? Stand up! I want to praise him!"
"We did it together. Lan Shuang was the one who took the lead. She kicked the housekeeper down first, and then we followed up and kicked him a few more times. In the end, he was too arrogant, and we couldn't stand it anymore, so we punched him a few more times, and that's how it ended up."
Mu Tiao smiled and smoothed her long hair.
Li Weiyan looked at Lan Shuang in surprise. "I've always thought you were extraordinary, but I didn't expect you to be so brave! You even dare to fight NPCs. Oh, by the way, it's no wonder you and Brother Jiang are a couple. Could it be that you're also the heir of some aristocratic family?"
When these words came out, many people looked confused.
Lan Shuang looked at Jiang Lusheng in confusion, "What heir of a noble family?"
Jiang Lusheng winked at her and said, "Actually, my true identity is the 389th generation descendant of the reclusive Dao Fa family. I rushed here because I noticed some resentment here. Didn't you notice that my way of appearing is different from yours? I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you'd worry, but now that we've been through so much, I believe everyone's ability to withstand pressure has improved to a certain extent, so I won't hide it anymore."
Lan Shuang: “…”
You are worthy of it.
"That's great! Now we don't have to be afraid of those ghosts. Brother Jiang can beat them all with one hand."
Lan Shuang looked at Jiang Lusheng teasingly.
Jiang Lusheng shook his head and leaned weakly on her shoulder.
"That won't work. The spiritual energy in the world is very thin now. These spells can only be used once, and it takes a long time to recover. So, they can't be used casually unless it's a critical moment."
Hope had been kindling in everyone's hearts, but when they heard his words, that little flame of hope went out with a puff.
Li Weiyan comforted everyone: "Don't be discouraged, it's better to have it than not. What if it comes in handy at a critical moment? If not, we can only wait for death. You don't know what we saw in there, it almost scared us to death..."
He chattered on and on about his experience in the small dark room. Everyone's faces turned pale and they were still frightened.
"Luckily, Brother Jiang was here so we could get out alive. Otherwise, we might have been scared to death in there! That couple and that damn housekeeper were so vicious."
Li Weiyan was very angry as he spoke, and kicked the housekeeper again on the butt.
The butler cried out in humiliation and glared at him fiercely.
"I have to say, this butler is really thick-skinned. Even after being beaten like this, he looks like nothing happened. Wasn't his hand twisted and broken before? Why does it look like it has recovered?" Gao Yaozu walked to the other side and looked at the butler's hand.
The housekeeper smiled sinisterly at him and said, "You can't hurt me. No one can hurt me here." His words were suggestive, and Pei Jinzhi and Lan Shuang looked at each other.
"Three hours have passed. How's it going? Have you been obedient?"
Before Lan Shuang could say anything, the couple came down from the stairs again. They walked into the hall and saw the housekeeper lying on the ground. Then they looked at these undisciplined people and their faces turned red with anger.
"What's wrong with you? Three hours in the small dark room couldn't teach you a lesson?" The lady rushed over angrily, raising her hand to slap Jiang Lusheng. The smile in Lan Shuang's eyes immediately disappeared. She stepped forward, grabbed the lady's wrist and swung it hard.
"I'll give you some face. Just stop while you're ahead."
"You are rebelling, you are rebelling." The lady stamped her feet in anger.
The master also rushed over and said, "Okay, I raised you with good food and drink until you grew up. Now you bite me back. Fine, just wait and see."
He pointed his finger viciously at the air, and they turned around and kicked the butler on the ground, "Hurry up and get up, it's almost time, the guests will be here soon, and it's not a good idea to have this house undecorated."
The servants hiding in the corner rushed forward and helped the butler up.
The housekeeper patted the dust off himself and said, "Yes, sir, I will arrange it right away."
He and the servants got busy, leaving Lan Shuang and the others standing together, looking at the couple. The lady whispered to the master, "Are you just going to leave them alone? I'm afraid they won't be happy when the distinguished guests come."
"I can't care anymore. It's too late. Let's just leave it at that for now. Anyway, today we're just here for everyone to meet. Talent and the like are secondary. As long as I have this face, I won't have to worry about not getting a good price."
His sinister gaze swept across the faces of Jiang Lusheng and Li Weiyan, and finally he laughed meaningfully and pulled his wife away.
"What is he laughing at? He looks like he is sure of winning." Li Weiyan scratched his hair in annoyance.
"What should we do next? Should we attend the banquet or not? If we don't attend, it will mean that we will completely break off relations with these NPCs. Will we be punished then?" Xiao Zheng was a little scared.
"We have to participate. If we don't, we won't be able to get more information and the plot line won't go on." Pei Jinzhi said calmly.
"Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest for a while, or just wait in the living room. When the time comes, we'll see what tricks this couple is up to." Lan Shuang smiled slightly coldly.
