"What do you want us to do?" Li Ao asked.
Patriarch Lu spoke again: "Could you please notify the government office for us and seek redress for us?"
"Please take our bodies out of the river. We are so cold." As he said this, the head of the Lu family shivered.
Li Ao nodded and said, "Okay, it's still early. I'll ride over later to file a complaint with the authorities for you."
"Thank you, brave man. Don't worry, we won't do anything to those women." The head of the Lu family said something more, perhaps to comfort Li Aoban.
Li Ao's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded with a smile: "Then thank you very much."
After saying that, he glanced at Qing Yuan, and the two of them left the hall. Behind them, the head of the Lu family looked stiffly at his wife beside him and grinned at her.
The latter also grinned at him, and the others also grinned. The whole atmosphere looked terrifying.
Li Ao quickly explained the situation to everyone. Wu Feng stepped forward and said, "Brother Li Ao, I'll go. You stay here and protect the young lady and the others."
"No, I'll go. They want me to go." Wu Feng quickly heard the hidden meaning in Li Ao's words and wanted to ask, but Qing Yuan shook her head at him. Wu Feng changed the words on his lips to ask him to be careful on the road.
Li Ao quickly rode away on his horse. Qing Yuan and the others pretended nothing had happened and started cooking. The aroma soon spread.
While cooking, Qing Yuan noticed some movement outside the yard, but she didn't say anything.
"It smells so good. What are we having for dinner tonight?" Yang Guilan was also attracted by the smell and came to the small kitchen. She kept sniffing.
Eating every day is her happiest time because Qingyuan and the others cook really delicious food.
"Greedy cat, come and help pick the vegetables." Ge Qingqing scolded with a smile. Yang Guilan didn't bother with her. She walked to her side, squatted down, and began to learn how to pick vegetables.
"No, this one needs to be pinched off too." Qiu Qinghe also gently instructed her. Yang Guilan watched and learned at the same time, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Qing Yuan looked at the sky and quickened his pace.
When it gets completely dark, those things will probably take action.
With Qing Yuan's careful efforts, four dishes and a soup were quickly prepared. Zi Yao didn't cook any rice, but steamed buns.
"It's time to eat."
"Here I am." Yang Guilan was the first to rush to the basin to wash her hands, and then sat obediently at the table waiting for dinner to start.
When everyone was gathered, Yang Guilan looked at them expectantly.
Qing Yuan smiled and shook her head. This was just a spoiled child who hadn't grown up yet.
"It's time for dinner. Finish your meal early and go back to your room to rest. No matter what sound you hear, don't come out. Especially if someone calls your name, don't answer."
Qing Yuan has been with Qiu Yinong for a long time, so she understands some things.
Hearing her say this, the steamed bun Yang Guilan had just bitten lost its flavor instantly, and she looked around in fear.
"Just eat yours, what are you afraid of?" Ge Qingqing comforted.
Yang Guilan swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth and asked pitifully, "Are you really okay?"
"Why hasn't the county lady come back yet? She wouldn't be so scared if she were here. The one beside her..."
"Lord Anrong, be careful, there may be ears on the other side of the wall. Just enjoy your meal." Qing Yuan said softly.
Yang Guilan didn't quite understand, but still nodded obediently.
"Okay." Yang Guilan was originally very happy, but now the food suddenly lost its flavor. She finished her dinner in fear.
"My Lady, please go and stay with Miss Ge and the others first!" Zi Yao said to Yang Guilan.
Yang Guilan nodded quickly, and Qing Yuan also said to Wu Feng: "Wu Feng, you also go in and protect them. No matter what happens, don't come out."
"Okay, if you need me, just call me Third Brother and I will come out." Wu Feng also whispered.
Qing Yuan nodded, and Wu Feng accompanied Ge Qingqing and the others into the house.
The candle flame in the room suddenly flickered, and then turned green.
Terror instantly swept through everyone's hearts, but Ge Qingqing remained calm: "Don't be afraid, Yi'er won't let us get hurt. We must trust Yi'er."
"Well, we have to believe in Yinong." Qiu Qinghe also nodded and took out her own Yaoguang Stone.
Wu Feng and others also took out their Yaoguang stones and blew out the candles completely. The room instantly became as bright as day. The Yaoguang stones emitted a soft light, and the room seemed not so cold anymore.
In the yard, Qing Yuan stood there with his hands behind his back, and Zi Yao stood in the corridor. They both had a Yaoguang Stone hanging around their necks. The strengthened Yaoguang Stone was like a little sun, illuminating the yard.
The door was pushed open, and the head of the Lu family and his entourage walked in stiffly.
Seeing the two of them, and looking at the pendants around their necks, he was obviously surprised.
The head of the Lu family was no longer as stiff as before, and his face was full of cunning: "Now that the most powerful of you have left, only you are left. You are nothing to be afraid of."
"We are indeed victims, but if we want to be reincarnated, we need to find a replacement, so I'm sorry."
"You can only use your life to exchange for ours."
Qing Yuan was not at all flustered and asked calmly, "So you want to take over my body?"
"You actually know what possession is?" The head of the Lu family was stunned. The young Taoist priest had said at the beginning that one should not touch cultivators.
Qing Yuan sneered: "Are you scared already?"
"Afraid? We are all dead, what is there to be afraid of?" The mistress of the Lu family said sharply, raised her hands, and sharp black nails appeared instantly, and she flew towards Qing Yuan.
Qing Yuan dodged nimbly and kicked the mistress in the abdomen.
She seemed to feel no pain and turned around and flew towards her again. Several more women came in, and one of them set her eyes on Zi Yao.
He also pounced on Zi Yao, and the two fought in the yard.
The head of the Lu family looked at the door, and the others rushed towards the house full of people.
As soon as his hand touched the door, he pulled it back in pain.
Seeing the smoke coming out of his hand, a group of ghosts looked at the head of the Lu family in horror. One of them said aggrievedly: "Dad, this door is full of yang energy. It hurts my daughter to death."
"Yang Qi? How is that possible? Ever since we died, this place has been enveloped by Yin Qi. How can there still be Yang Qi?"
"It's the things on their necks!" The head of the Lu family quickly thought of it, and the mistress of the Lu family also changed direction and started to attack the pendant on Qingyuan's neck.
As soon as they touched, the sharp nails transformed from the Yin energy turned into ashes and dissipated.
"Master, it really hurts." The mistress of the Lu family didn't dare to do anything anymore, and the head of the Lu family narrowed his eyes.
"We don't want your lives, why don't we talk it over?"
Qing Yuan sneered, "You don't want our lives, you only want our bodies, and then you want to suppress our souls at the bottom of the river, right?"
"Hmph, you are not cultivators, how do you know so much?" The head of the Lu family was extremely angry.
"Then who told you about the way to possess another's body?" A female voice sounded, and Qing Yuan and the others turned around curiously to look.
On the roof, a huge figure swam slowly, followed by a huge snake head with a single horn.
