Several people felt a pang in their hearts and walked more carefully, but they still fell when going down the stairs, first one, then the second, like a human pyramid, one after another.
Fortunately, the fall was not serious. Several people climbed up, feeling even more frightened.
"Brother, what kind of magic did that woman cast?"
"Walk slowly and go back to ask Master for help."
The eldest brother had a serious expression on his face. He didn't know what magic it was, but the master was sure there was a way. However, on the way back, they had a series of accidents. They drove into a green belt and were almost hit to death by a speeding car when they got out of the car. When they were walking, a few bird droppings fell from the sky and landed on their heads. When they passed a farmer's house, they were chased by several dogs. The whole journey was thrilling and dangerous. When they returned to the manor in a mess, it was almost noon.
Guess Cha sat at the head of the hall with a grim look on his face. The auspicious time was almost here. Even if he brought the person back now, he would have missed the time and would not be able to earn money from the Su family.
Several apprentices staggered in, looking extremely disheveled. There was no trace of their usual dignity. There was bird droppings on their heads, and their robes made of fine material were covered in dust and torn in several places, as if they had been bitten by dogs. They also had wounds on their bodies. If you didn't know better, you would have thought they had been in a fight.
Guess Cha's expression became even uglier, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where are the people?"
I've been gone for so long, but I didn't get anything back, just some junk!
"Master, that Chinese woman is a devil. We almost couldn't see you anymore!" The eldest senior brother stumbled to Caicha's feet and cried like he had lost his parents. His miserable state made him look even more cruel.
"Master, we almost couldn't come back. That yellow-haired girl from China was not a human. She cast a weird spell on us. Senior Brother almost choked to death on a small sticky rice dumpling."
"Our journey home was more difficult than Tang Monk's journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. We went through all 81 difficulties. Master, you must avenge us!"
"Master, the dog that used to be so enthusiastic towards us is like taking stimulants today. It's chasing us relentlessly and biting us to death. The high-end robe you gave me has been torn by its teeth."
"Master, that Chinese woman is stubborn and doesn't understand what we say. She doesn't even take you seriously. She said we are not worthy to talk to her and that you have to go in person. We were so angry that we argued with her and she murdered us..."
Several disciples prostrated themselves at Caicha's feet, crying about their grievances and sorrows, and showing Caicha the bird droppings and holes on their bodies one by one. Caicha's face was darker than ink, and his eyes were spewing fire.
"Did the woman say that?" Guess Yin Zhazhao asked anxiously.
"This is what she said, Master. Let me tell you."
The eldest disciple cleared his throat, put on an arrogant look, and said in a pretentious tone: "Who do you think you are? Let that old man Guesscha come here in person!"
"Master, that's what the woman said."
The others nodded in unison.
They had discussed it on the way. They knew that they had not done the job well and had delayed the master's important matter. The master would definitely punish them severely. In order to escape punishment, they discussed exaggerating Jiang Hanyan's abilities and teasing stray dogs on the roadside, making them look miserable. As long as they were miserable enough and spoke highly of Jiang Hanyan, they could escape punishment.
Caicha's face darkened, he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "What an ignorant little girl!"
"Master, you are so skilled that even the president is respectful to you. That girl is too arrogant. With your skills and status, even if the girl's master comes, he has to be courteous to you!" The eldest disciple flattered and praised, and Guess Cha's ugly expression eased a lot.
"There are always people better than you. China is so big, there are many people who are better than me." Caicha said modestly.
"There are definitely not many people better than you. Anyway, the master of that yellow-haired girl is definitely not as good as you." The eldest disciple flattered the master to the utmost and was extremely fawning.
The other disciples also followed suit and flattered him. Guess Cha put a smile on his face and felt much better.
He also felt that there should not be many people stronger than himself, probably no more than two palms. Guessing that Cha still had confidence in himself, he checked several of his disciples and his expression changed.
He couldn't quite figure out the magic in his disciples' bodies, but he was sure it wasn't black magic. His heart sank as he investigated. A girl of only eighteen or nineteen was so powerful, so the person who taught her must be even more powerful.
There is such a master in China? Guess Cha's contempt disappeared in an instant. Although he liked to hear flattery, he was not arrogant, otherwise he would not have been able to run rampant for decades without any harm.
"Master, what kind of magic did that woman cast on us?" the eldest disciple asked cautiously.
The others also looked at Guess Cha hopefully. They didn't dare go out until the damn spell was solved.
Cai Cha's face froze. He didn't want to expose a secret that he didn't know in front of his disciples, so he said, "It's a mysterious and ancient magic from China. You won't understand it even if I tell you."
Several disciples looked respectful and worshipful, and complimented him in unison: "Master is well-read and has extraordinary knowledge. We are not even one ten-thousandth as good as him."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Let's go eat!" Caicha waved his hand.
One of the disciples wanted to ask more questions, but was pulled away by the eldest disciple. The master had no tact at all. If the master could solve it, he would have solved it long ago. He definitely couldn't solve it, so he asked them to leave quickly. If they asked again, wouldn't they be courting death? Although the strange magic in their bodies was not solved, the eldest disciple and the others were still relieved that the master didn't punish them.
The meals at Caicha Manor were quite sumptuous, and the ingredients used were of the best, including delicious sea fish. The eldest disciple and his companions enjoyed their lunch to their heart's content, but after only a few bites, several disciples got something stuck in their throats. It was a large fish bone that made them unable to speak. The situation was very dangerous.
Several disciples thought of what Jiang Hanyan had said, telling them to be careful when eating fish, and they couldn't help but feel creepy and fearful.
They were sent to the hospital to remove the fish bone. Guess Cha originally thought it was just a minor matter, just a fish bone stuck in the fish. However, he learned that the fish bone of the eldest disciple and his friends was stuck in a very dangerous position, very close to the aorta. If they were sent to the hospital later, the aorta might have been punctured.
"Master, the doctor said if we had sent them a few minutes later, our senior brother and the others would have died." The disciple who came back from the hospital reported.
Guess Cha had a serious expression and kept turning the beads in his hand. The yellow-haired girl was aggressive, so he had to meet her in person and find out her background. If she was someone he couldn't afford to offend, he would just make a good friend of her. If she was a nobody, well, don't blame him for being rude.
Jiang Hanyan enjoyed a luxurious lunch at the Li family and waited for Caicha to arrive. She looked at the sun above her head. It was already past noon. If Caicha wanted to save Master Su, he had to find another way.
She went to take a nap, and just when she woke up, Lu Chen came over and called her, "Guess Cha is here!"
