Chapter 7 Chapter 7 I just have a lot of things I don’t understand…
Jiang Caiyu pursed her lips, her expression becoming even colder. She looked at the gourd that had fallen to the ground and said in a deep voice, "A top-grade spiritual weapon."
He faced Madam Xu, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Madam Xu was followed by another person, who was walking a bit slower than Madam Xu. The chubby person finally caught up and quickly stood in front of Madam Xu. "Thank you, Jiang Xianjun. I think the cat demon has been expelled. I guess it won't dare to come near again. So let's end this matter here. What Jiang Xianjun wants will be delivered to you tomorrow."
Jiang Caiyu came only for the Life Stone. Since even Xu Rulin thought the matter was acceptable, he had no objection.
Just as Xu Rulin finished speaking, a man who looked like a servant came running over and shouted, "Master, Madam, it's bad, the young master has fainted, suddenly...suddenly he's dead."
Mrs. Xu covered her heart and called out "Mianlang", then fainted in Xu Rulin's arms.
Xu Rulin looked anxious. On the one hand, he asked someone to find a doctor, and on the other hand, he asked someone to bring a carriage to carry Madam Xu back home. The scene was chaotic for several seconds.
Jiang Caiyu and the other two followed him back to the mansion to pack their luggage. Not long after they started packing, they heard crying sounds coming from the mansion. Mu Jiulin grabbed a maid and asked, and she said that the young master Mianlang had passed away.
Mu Jiulin sighed and told Jiang Caiyu and Ye Nanque the news he had heard.
Jiang Caiyu thought about it and quickly understood: "Xu Rulin's youngest son, Mianlang, must have been dead since that fall two years ago. He's only appeared to be a normal person these past two years because a cat demon has been living in his body."
Mu Jiulin seemed to be lost in thought: "So that's how it is. With Madam Xu's love for her son... I'm afraid she'll be heartbroken. Master, can you lend me that clay temple to take a look?"
Jiang Caiyu took the mud temple out of the spirit bag. Mu Jiulin took a look at it and remembered Ye Nanque's reaction at that time. He touched it carefully with his hand.
As soon as I came into contact with the cold mud temple, many scenes flashed before my eyes.
Mrs. Xu went up the mountain in the rain and accidentally slipped and fell beside a mud temple. She cried and called "Mianlang". Blood flowed from her hands and melted into the mud beside the mud temple.
Then the scene changed again. Xu Rulin knelt in front of the mud temple with the tribute spirit stone, pointed to the sky, knelt down and kowtowed, saying that he had heard that demons could live in human bodies, so he asked the cat demon to live in the body of a child to ease his wife's pain of losing her son.
This was a completely new experience for the mortal Mu Jiulin, and it came so unexpectedly that he almost broke the mud temple in a moment of distraction.
Jiang Caiyu touched his forehead with her index finger, and a stream of spiritual energy flowed into it. In the chaos, Mu Jiulin only heard the other party's reassuring voice: "Keep your mind steady. You are a mortal and more susceptible to the influence of the demons than Nan Que. Although the demons are quite scheming, they are just some tricks. Don't be distracted."
Mu Jiulin coughed out a puff of foul air and looked at Jiang Caiyu blankly.
Jiang Caiyu: "What's wrong? What did you see?"
Mu Jiulin was about to speak, but then changed his mind and shook his head: "No...nothing, just some incoherent pictures."
Jiang Caiyu: "If you encounter the demon tribe's tricks again, remember to withdraw as soon as possible to avoid being trapped in the mud."
The three of them packed their bags and prepared to take the Life Stone and set off back to the Yu Jian Sect early the next morning.
In the middle of the night, there was another knock on Ye Nanque's door. Ye Nanque intended to ignore it, but there were two knocks every minute, which was particularly regular and persistent.
After knocking for about ten minutes, he couldn't stand it anymore and shouted "Come in" in a bad mood.
Mu Jiulin walked in obediently holding a pillow. He was only wearing pajamas after washing up, and he looked younger than he did during the day.
"Brother, I can't sleep."
Ye Nanque said with a stern face: "There is no cat demon anymore, are you still afraid?"
Mu Jiulin bit his lip: "There are just a lot of things I can't figure out."
Wait, what's with this atmosphere of a heart-to-heart bedtime tea party with sisters?
He doesn't have this habit!
Ye Nanque lay down and covered his head with the quilt: "The chair is for you, but the bed must be mine tonight."
Mu Jiulin didn't say much. He sat down obediently on the chair and lay on the table with a pillow in his arms.
No one knew what he couldn't figure out, nor how long he had been thinking about it. Anyway, when Ye Nanque woke up in the morning, Mu Jiulin was no longer in the room.
Early in the morning, a young maid came to invite the three of them, saying that Xu Rulin was waiting in the front hall.
Mu Jiulin kindly asked, "Young Master's matter... Is Madam Xu okay?"
The maidservant quickly hushed and whispered, "The master of the house issued an order last night that no one is allowed to mention the young master in front of the mistress. He also ordered all the young master's belongings to be removed from his room, and to treat it as if... as if such a person never existed in the house."
Mu Jiulin was stunned for a moment. Although he felt that Xu Rulin's move was a bit arbitrary, he could also understand that Xu Rulin was afraid that Mrs. Xu would be too sad.
But...will I stop being sad if I don't mention it?
He was thinking about this when the maidservant seemed to see through his thoughts and whispered, "Besides... when Madam fainted last night and woke up, she seemed to have forgotten everything. She didn't forget everything, but she only forgot the young master."
