Chapter 914 Accident
Chapter 914 Accident
The house that the Yan family gave to the Zhao family was very large, almost a huge manor, divided into countless courtyards of various sizes.
Yan Bingqing and the other women were each assigned to a courtyard.
At that moment, Zhao Mu was being guided by a maid to one of the courtyards.
He pushed open the door and entered, only to be met with a person who made him freeze in place.
what happened?
My mother asked me to come and see my daughter, so shouldn't this be the courtyard where Ji Xinyi lives?
But the first thing he saw was Chi Yanyun, the number one female demon of the Asura Demon Sea, who was lazily taking a nap on a recliner, while a little girl was playing with Xiaobaibai next to her.
The little white thing's fur was all messed up, but it didn't show the slightest impatience. Instead, it tried its best to restrain its aura so as not to hurt the little girl.
When Zhao Mu entered, the rocking chair stopped rocking, and Xiao Baibai slowly opened its eyes.
The little girl looked at him with some confusion, as if she felt a sense of familiarity, yet also as if she had never seen him before.
Until Chi Yanyun said, "That's your own father, go!"
"father?"
Zhao Yinuo was clearly hesitant to move in front of the somewhat unfamiliar man.
Seeing this, Zhao Mu smiled slightly, stepped forward, and bent down. The little girl's eyes, which were almost identical to Ji Xinyi's, blinked as she stared at him and asked, "My father's name is Zhao Mu. Are you Zhao Mu?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Mu nodded and said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, you can have your mother come out and identify you!"
“Aunt Yan said that Mother went to a very, very far place and it will be a very, very long time before she can come back to see Yinuo.”
The little girl lowered her head in disappointment, and the smile that had just appeared on her face vanished instantly, clearly because something that had touched a sore spot had been touched upon.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mu's heart skipped a beat.
Ji Xinyi would never lie to him; she said she would wait for him to come back, and she would definitely wait for him to come back.
But unfortunately...
Could it be that something major happened during the three years he was gone?
Otherwise, how could the task of taking care of the child have inexplicably fallen on Chi Yanyun's shoulders?
Just as he was pondering this, Chi Yanyun got up from the rocking chair. To prevent him from misunderstanding, she explained, "Xiao Yinuo didn't explain clearly. Ji Xinyi is fine. She just received some news three months ago. After discussing it with Bingqing, she finally decided to leave first."
"I'm not entirely sure what happened. You can ask Bingqing when she gets back!"
"I have already taken care of Xiao Yinuo's matters such as opening her meridians and establishing her foundation. Those two old geezers in Leidi City are indeed willing to spend a lot of money. Even I am fond of her wind and thunder talent."
"When you have time, you can go and visit those two guys."
"The Heavenly Thunder Tree is not suitable for Xiao Yinuo."
"..."
Chi Yanyun talked a lot in one breath, and most of it was about Zhao Yinuo, which showed how much she liked this little girl. No wonder someone as arrogant as her was willing to take care of the child here.
Even the seemingly insignificant Xiaobai, who doesn't give face to anyone, is willing to be a little white dog and be tormented.
Where did they all go?
"Lin Hai left a secret realm. Bing Qing, Wu Yao, and Yan Yuechen from the Yan family of Shattered Star City went to explore it together. They've been gone for about half a month and should be back soon."
"I see."
Zhao Mu suddenly realized why he hadn't seen his silly senior sister and the rich girl even though he had been back for so long. But how did they end up hanging out with Yan Yuechen?
besides......
Where is Aunt Mu?
"Zhao Mu, what are you trying to do? Have you forgotten what I warned you about? Stay away from this witch."
"that...."
Because of what happened on the island, Zhao Mu felt very insecure in front of Chi Yanyun, so he immediately explained with an awkward smile, "I was just worried that she was still here, so I was taking precautions in advance. Sister Chi, please don't misunderstand. I have always kept your teachings in mind."
She left two years ago.
Call ~
Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most now was dealing with this cheap mother-in-law, who was completely uncivilized.
Good thing they're gone, good thing they're gone!
Of course, he wasn't afraid, he was just at a loss, after all, Mu Yueyao was Wu Yao's biological mother.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, Chi Yanyun's gaze fell on Zhao Mu, and she said, "Come here."
"what?"
Zhao Mu was somewhat confused, but he still went up to Chi Yanyun. Suddenly, she patted his shoulder and asked with a slight frown, "Where have you been for the past three years? Why are you covered in this stuff?"
"what?"
Hearing this question, Zhao Mu was completely bewildered, because he couldn't understand what Chi Yanyun meant at all. He asked in confusion, "I didn't understand, but I did go to Cangwu Holy Land, one of the nine holy lands, to participate in a competition called Langhuan Trial in the past few years."
"It has nothing to do with the Holy Land. You are tainted with an aura called evil spirit, which is extremely well hidden. If I hadn't encountered it before, I wouldn't have been able to detect it either. As for others, even the best among those who have ascended to immortality might not be able to detect it."
Evil spirit?
Upon hearing these two words, Zhao Mu, while puzzled, finally became serious.
He didn't know what evil spirits were, but he knew what spirits were—a strange and powerful thing that had almost devoured the Leg Demon.
An evil spirit? Or perhaps an upgraded version?
"The term 'evil spirit' is just a name I use for it. It does share some characteristics with spirits, but they are not the same thing. When I encountered the evil spirit, it was in a void turbulence..."
"Void Turbulence!"
"What? What's on your mind?"
"The Wind and Thunder Mansion, it's the Wind and Thunder Mansion within the Langhuan Secret Realm. In the past three years, I've only been guided through the void turbulence by the token when entering the Wind and Thunder Mansion..."
Following that, Zhao Mu recounted everything he had experienced at the Fenglei Mansion.
He had nothing he couldn't tell Chi Yanyun.
After all, she wouldn't harm herself.
Moreover, that thing in the Fenglei Mansion might actually be the evil spirit Chi Yanyun mentioned. If Zhao Mu were to be entangled by that thing, he would feel a chill run down his spine. After all, even Master Lei didn't dare to directly confront it back then.
It was merely a show of force to deter them from retreating, and then they quickly made their own escape.
"In that case, I'll have to make a trip to the Fenglei Mansion sometime in the future."
"what!"
Zhao Mu was slightly stunned. Knowing there were tigers in the mountains, why did he still choose to go into the tiger's den?
It wasn't until Chi Yanyun's gaze fell on Yi Nuo that Zhao Mu suddenly realized, could it be...?
"It seems you have thought of it."
Seeing the change in Zhao Mu's expression, Chi Yanyun said calmly, "That's right. If I'm not mistaken, the Wind and Thunder Mansion is probably not some kind of conspiracy. Rather, it's because after so many years, something happened and the core inheritance site was taken over by an evil spirit."
"What wants to leave the Wind and Thunder Mansion is not the remnant soul of those who remain, but that evil spirit."
"Then why..."
Seeing Zhao Mu speak, Chi Yanyun clearly knew what he wanted to ask, and said, "Evil spirits are no ordinary beings, and the vessels they require are certainly not ordinary either."
