By the moonlight, people walked home in twos and threes.
Xun Xingshun followed behind the crowd, glancing back every now and then to see if Li Wang had reappeared.
After all this commotion and the shock, tonight will be a sleepless night for many.
Hua Xingshun was the same; he lit a candle and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Kuang Wu, who had been waiting for his chance, was speechless.

The spirits in Xunjia Village were specifically instructed to witness this scene. They themselves couldn't understand how the other party could do it, since they tried everything to communicate with their families but couldn't appear in front of others.
Moreover, at the moment Li Wang died, his soul was immediately scattered by the underworld officials as soon as it left his body. So where did this ghost come from?
No one dared to delay and immediately told Ren Jinpeng the news. Last time, they worked together to break the formation without putting in much effort, but they still hoped that their side would fare well.
Now that they've been brought here seeking revenge, they have only one thought: they must protect their own people.
Hua Xiangyun didn't expect the other party to be so capable of causing trouble, even taking it all the way to Xunjia Village.
When I returned to the end of the county yesterday, I learned that several more villages had come to my door, all with the same reason.
"You mean that stranger from Xunjia Village is staying at my grandfather's house?" Hua Xiangyun asked Ren Jinpeng again.
Ren Jinpeng: "That's right, but we don't dare get too close. We don't know if he has any bad intentions."
Since they are relatives of this master, it's still worth reminding them, "The other party clearly has ill intentions, and now they're staying at our home. Has this meant they've discovered the identities of the two masters?"
Hua Xiangyun: "That shouldn't be the case yet."
The other party made such a big commotion just to lure them out, didn't they?
If he really had a goal, he wouldn't go to every village to set up such a formation.
Aside from wanting to create a disturbance with the tracking array to lure them out, perhaps they also wanted to see if they could find any clues?
You see, if these guards are acting strangely, they will definitely show it in their behavior.
If that's the case, then he'll probably have wasted his time, because from beginning to end, the master and disciple never showed themselves in public.
The only problem is that the other party has settled down in Xunjia Village. If they don't find anything, will it endanger the local villagers?
If someone is really up to no good and is still living in Xunjia, then Xunjia will be the first to suffer.
Apart from Gu Yu being a bit socially awkward, the other members of the Xun family are all quite nice.
They've cornered them right at their doorstep; it's not the way cultivators should keep avoiding them.
Hua Xiangyun gritted her teeth and decided to go herself.
The village work was almost finished, and they could find a few more strong laborers to share the workload. It wouldn't be a problem, so the team leader agreed.
Another point is that they demolished Xu Youzhi's house overnight, and sure enough, everything was calm last night. As a distant relative of Wu Shenpo, it's normal for Hua Xiangyun to receive some special treatment.
Besides, if Hua Xiangyun doesn't earn these work points now, the only ones who will benefit are the people in their own village.
Hua Xiangyun left the village and chose another mountain road.
Ren Jinpeng had already analyzed which path on this mountain was straighter and easier to walk.
The entire mountain range was connected. As soon as Hua Xiangyun arrived at the deserted area, she began to circulate her spiritual energy and swiftly moved through the mountains.

Xunjia Village
Kuang Wu had been pretending to be stupid since early morning, but the village was too preoccupied with last night's events to bother with him.
When I got home last night, no one was able to sleep.
The villagers gathered at the threshing ground early in the morning, chatting in small groups.
Before leaving, Xun Xingshun looked at Kuang Wu and said, "I'll find someone to accompany you to the village. Wait for me at the village entrance for a moment."
There must be something to discuss in the village; it's best to get rid of outsiders like him as soon as possible.
Kuang Wu was unwilling to leave because he had not achieved his goal, but his letter of introduction was highly questionable and could not be verified.
“What happened in our village last night? I saw you, village chief, were gone for a long time before you came back.”
"They're all trivial matters. There aren't any major events in this village, but there are plenty of mundane things to do."
"Alright, I still need to go and assign everyone to work in the fields. Don't wander around unless it's absolutely necessary. If the people I sent can't find you and there's a misunderstanding, that wouldn't be good." Xun Xingshun looked at Gu Yu. "After you see the guests out, close the gate and tidy up the backyard."
The weeds in the backyard have grown again. If they don't take good care of them, they won't be able to eat any vegetables this winter.
Gu Yu said, "Alright, hurry up and get out of here, lest the villagers come chasing you home again."
This old man really doesn't give us any face at all. He assigns tasks like this in front of outsiders. Does he really think he's some big shot as the village chief?
After everyone left, Gu Yu glared at Kuang Wu, annoyed. "Hurry up and pack your things and leave. You're always causing trouble."
This person really has no sense of propriety. He's staying at someone else's house and doesn't even bother to show appreciation, wasting the time he spent boiling water this morning.
Kuang Wu, "...You didn't know something happened last night?"
Gu Yu slept soundly until dawn. "What could possibly happen during the night?"
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. I can't get any information out of you."
Kuang Wu, "Is our village usually not very peaceful?"
He asked in a mysterious low voice, "I seem to vaguely hear something, like something unclean. Everyone in your village, young and old, has gotten up."
The village chief was gone for a long time before returning; I thought you had heard the noise.
Gu Yu, "Did I hear that right?" She was unwilling to admit that she was sleeping soundly, but the other person had indeed piqued her interest.
Forget about tidying up the backyard, she quickly took off her sleeves and apron. "Are you sure you're not lying to me?"
Kuang Wu said, "Even if I wanted to cheat, I wouldn't dare to come to the village chief's house to do so."
I was just curious and was planning to go out and ask around later, thinking you knew.
"What do you know?" Gu Yu put her things away and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped. "I'm going out now. No one's home. Could you please come with me?"
Although she doesn't have any valuables in the house, she won't leave a stranger in the house.
Kuang Wu: "We can't leave this house unattended. How about I keep an eye on it for you?"
Gu Yu put her hands on her hips and said, "What kind of relationship do we have? You're just here to help me look after the house."
You're just a passerby seeking lodging, so you should be more considerate and say goodbye before the host leaves.
If anything in this house is stolen, will they ask you to compensate them?
Kuang Wu, “...You don’t think I’m a bad person…”
“Bad people don’t have it written on their faces,” Gu Yu looked at him suspiciously. “Why are you so shameless in staying at my house? What exactly do you want to do?”
Let me tell you, my husband is a veteran who's been to the battlefield. If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave now.
Gu Yu became wary. She had already made herself so clear, yet the other party still hadn't left. Could they really be planning to rob her house?
