"Ahhh..."
"Hu Mo, I'm going to kill you!"
Even in this state, Fang Xun's eyes were still filled with a frenzied hatred as he glared fiercely at Gan Sui, who was standing to the side.
He didn't care at all about the sharp blade pressed against his neck.
Shi Xi looked down at Fang Xun.
This guy is clearly not in a good state.
When Gan Sui saw Fang Xun's eyes filled with black energy, he couldn't help but frown. "This person is possessed by a ghost."
Qi Tingsong's scheme was not particularly clever; the reason it succeeded was largely because he had lost his mind.
It seemed that their commotion was a bit too loud and attracted the attention of others, so some passersby stopped and craned their necks to see what was going on.
Shi Xi picked the person up and threw them into the house.
"I'll take it." Qi Tingsong stepped forward and took Fang Xun from Shi Xi's hands.
They forcibly pressed him onto the stool and tied him up. Fang Xun struggled a few times but couldn't move anymore. He could only glare at Gan Sui with hatred and resentment, as if he had some irreconcilable feud with him.
Gan Sui didn't tolerate Fang Xun's behavior and directly lashed him out with a few lashes.
The ghost that was attached to him was utterly destroyed.
Fang Xun regained consciousness after a short while.
"Speak, why did you kill Hu Mo and the Qiu family?"
Mentioning the Qiu family, Fang Xun's face showed an expression of unbearable pain, "No, I didn't mean to kill Ci Jing..."
“But he is indeed dead,” Qi Tingsong said.
Upon hearing this, Fang Xun's ashen face immediately showed a look of despair, and he lowered his head in dejection: "I just wanted to save Ci Jing, he was cursed by Hu Mo with the Peach Blossom Curse."
It turns out that after Qiu Cijing broke up with him, he didn't give up. He even deliberately got drunk at a bar and then called Qiu Cijing.
"Ci Jing, I'm drunk and I feel terrible. Can you come pick me up?"
After all, they've been friends for so many years, and Qiu Cijing was worried that something might really happen to him, so he finally came.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Mo received a message that when he arrived at the bar, he happened to see him and Qiu Cijing being affectionate.
So they got into a fight.
In the end, Hu Mo took Qiu Cijing away... When Fang Xun saw Qiu Cijing again, he noticed the other party's abnormality.
That vixen Hu Mo actually cast a peach blossom curse on Qiu Cijing!
Knowing the effects of the Peach Blossom Curse, and seeing Qiu Cijing's ravaged appearance, he naturally assumed that Hu Mo had laid down the curse of death.
Hu Mo must die!
So he went to the Qiu family and used the demon-revealing mirror to instigate Qiu's father and mother to kill Hu Mo.
But he never expected that Qiu Cijing would then commit suicide by setting himself on fire!
After listening, Qi Tingsong realized that the other party might have misunderstood something, so he said:
"Hu Mo's predictions were based on likes and dislikes."
Fang Xun froze, his mind went blank, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes was completely extinguished.
"Impossible, impossible..."
It was him...
It turns out he didn't save Qiu Cijing, but instead killed him with his own hands...
What on earth did he do?!
Fang Xun burst into tears.
Shi Xi and the others simply stood aside, watching quietly.
...
After a while.
Shi Xi touched the sharp knife in her hand, the tip pointing at the sofa that had long since been dismantled. "What's this Yin Gathering Formation?"
Fang Xun's gaze was unfocused; he slumped in the chair like a dead dog, his voice hoarse.
“Someone told me that whenever the Qiu family gets into trouble, Qiu Cijing will come to me…”
"who?"
Fang Xun was stunned. He tried to recall who the other person was, but he couldn't remember. It was as if the other person had never appeared before, but had only spoken in his ear.
Seeing his bewildered expression, Shi Xi knew that he had no idea he was possessed by a ghost.
Shi Xi's gaze inadvertently fell on Fang Xun's right wrist, where there was indeed a mole, but it was different from Ruan Jingshan's.
Ruan Jingshan's mole is red, small and round, so perfect that it looks as if it were drawn with a compass, while his mole is black, shaped like a grain of rice.
Guessing that Fang Xun was bewitched by ghosts, Gan Sui felt something was amiss—before they broke the Yin Gathering Formation, all the Yin energy seemed to have vanished into thin air.
The ghost inside Fang Xun instigated him to set up a Yin-gathering array, which should have absorbed Yin energy to strengthen itself, but he destroyed it with almost no effort.
"That's not right." Gan Sui frowned. "Where did all that Yin energy go before the formation was broken?"
He arrived late and didn't care much about the assessment, so he didn't have a comprehensive understanding of the situation.
“Cold Jade,” Qi Tingsong said.
After the assessment, he planned to destroy the Cold Jade, but he was delayed until now because of Shuo Ye's matter.
It seems that Shuoye's actions were not only about retaliating for breaking the Gathering Yin Formation, but also about taking the opportunity to retrieve the Cold Jade.
We must destroy the cold jade as soon as possible, lest things get complicated.
Shi Xi first glanced at Qi Tingsong, thinking that Shuo Ye's bad luck was probably related to this piece of cold jade.
Then, pointing at Fang Xun, he asked, "What about him?"
"Take it back," Gan Sui said. "Someone will handle it."
The affairs of a feng shui master should be handled according to the methods of the feng shui community.
...
The group, along with Fang Xun, returned to the manor.
Ji Ruwen, who happened to be standing outside, saw Shi Xi with long hair and dressed in white, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Why are you dressed like that?
"I went to cosplay." Shi Xi smiled.
"..." Ji Ruwen was speechless.
Not far from him, Fang Xun looked distraught, holding a broken compass in his hand.
Gan Sui and Qi Tingsong followed behind Shi Xi, one with a superficial smile on his face and the other with no expression.
Ji Ruwen withdrew her gaze, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is it about the villa?"
"Hmm." Shi Xi nodded and briefly recounted the story of Qiu Cijing, Fang Xun, and Hu Mo.
After hearing this, Ji Ruwen's expression became somewhat subtle. He looked at Shi Xi with a complicated expression for a while, and then looked at the two people behind him who were clearly at odds.
In his view, Qiu Cijing's situation was very similar to Xu Youchu's...
Fortunately, Qi Tingsong is not a vixen, nor does she have any "peach blossom curse".
Ji Ruwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Qin just got back, I'll take him there."
Shi Xi nodded.
Qi Tingsong seemed to have something to do, so he only said a few words to Shi Xi before returning to his room.
For a moment, only Shi Xi and Gan Sui remained in the same place.
Shi Xi glanced at the calendar; there were less than two weeks until Ghost Festival.
"Xiao Chu, do you want to come to the Gan family's house with me?"
"My birthday is on the 15th of next month. Will you celebrate with me?"
"At that time, the Gan family will have a lot of people coming, and there will be a fireworks display. It will definitely be very lively."
Gan Sui looked at Shi Xi with his eyes full of anticipation, as if he especially hoped that Shi Xi would agree to his request.
The 15th happened to be the day of the Ghost Festival.
