C52 Visit the owner of the haunted house
"Old master, what do you think?" It was a rare occasion for Murong Fenghuang to use her' acting skills' in a stable and proper manner as she asked her husband who was beside him.
"I don't know how strong he is, but he seems a little petty. He doesn't have any enmity towards us, so I feel that he's a lot more vigilant." Situ Qingtian said.
"He should have lured us there on purpose!" Murong Fenghuang concluded.
"Oh? "How can you tell?" It was Situ Qingtian's turn to be surprised, but he knew that although his wife usually liked to play and play, she was actually an extraordinary woman with extraordinary intelligence.
"According to the description from three years ago, when the bell sounded just now, it should have been filled with killing intent. However, you and I didn't feel any bloodlust at the moment, which proves that there wasn't any killing intent. Judging from the sudden behavior of the waiter, it seems like this hasn't happened for a long time. Tonight happened very suddenly, so the bell should be ringing for us. "
"But this is the third night we're staying here! "Why tonight?" Situ Qingtian asked again.
"Just now, there was also a strong sense of vigilance from that place. This proves that even towards us, there is still a deep feeling of unhappiness. It should be because we can't be completely trusted, and it seems like something is going to request of us. This is very paradoxical. Why not trust us and then ask for us?" Murong Fenghuang started to feel suspicious about her own analysis.
"Don't think too much into it. We'll know when we get there tomorrow!" Situ Qingtian comforted his wife.
"En, En, old master, I'm a little hungry. Let's go back and have some good food!" He couldn't help but be impressed, not only was Murong Fenghuang's thinking extremely skipping, her acting skills were also exceptionally good at skipping as well.
The truth was that the Situ couple had already roughly guessed the identity of the people in the Ghost Manor. That's right, they were humans. They were not evil spirits, nor were they vengeful spirits. There's only one person in the world who can kill, ghost? It was just a type of spiritual body. This was the reason why he wasn't afraid of knocking on the door.
He and his parents had the same judgement, and that person was definitely a illusionist, a illusionist that was proficient in fear. Although he did not know the exact level of the illusionist, according to his judgement, it shouldn't be too high, because if it was at a high level, killing a few local thugs would just be a matter of a few minutes, and it shouldn't be too low. At the very least, his mental strength should not be too low, at the very least, he should be able to use a magic treasure to increase his mental strength, and shouldn't be able to deal with a few people at the same time.
The main reason why he was sure that this person was illusionist was because of the sound of "Ding Ling Ling". It was very likely that this person was a medium or magic treasure of the illusionist, an important object used to trigger Phantom Skills s.
The night passed in silence, with nothing to say.
In order to thank everyone, the waiter, who had survived the ordeal, arranged for a midnight snack as soon as he returned to the tavern. This instantly caused Murong Fenghuang's favorability towards him to soar, and he patted his shoulder while praising his future potential.
When the sun rose, everyone once again arrived in front of the Ghost Manor. This time, they didn't wait for the waiter to protest before kicking him to the side to sleep.
This time, there was no automatic door opening function, nor was there any cold treatment. Everyone pushed open the door and entered the main hall. You can't take a seat in the hall.
He surveyed his surroundings. It was clear that they had been cleaned recently. Although it was simple and crude, they were still clean. At this moment, Gongsun Ztian had released all of his mental energy, protecting his parents from all angles. He was not clear on the strength of the other party, so it would not hurt to be careful.
Suddenly, a wave of mental energy entered through his body and Gongsun Ze Tian immediately activated his mental energy barrier to protect himself. However, once the mental energy touched him, he immediately left without the slightest hesitation, and in that instant, Gongsun Ze Tian judged that the other party's strength was around the middle Houtian realm, which meant that he was most likely close to the middle illusionist's level. After understanding the opponent's strength, Gongsun Ze's heart had finally calmed down. With this kind of strength, even if he was still in his mother's womb, he would be able to imprison this person within minutes. He was not afraid of causing any big ruckus.
"My apologies, I was only trying to confirm your identities. Please don't take it seriously!" A very pleasant female voice sounded out, but as the voice faded away, a beautiful woman, whose clothes were as white as snow, appeared in the hall.
"If you want to probe, then just say so. Why be so secretive? You must find a reason for everything. Are you tired?" There were two reasons why Murong Fenghuang did not give any face at all. The first was because the other party was indeed angry at them for testing him out so recklessly, and the second was that beautiful women were often hostile to them. Even if it was the first time they met, even Murong Fenghuang was not immune to it.
"Elder sister ?" The woman in white didn't mind at all as she smiled and said.
But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Murong Fenghuang, "Hmph, how do you know I'm older than you?"
After saying that, Murong Fenghuang used her hand to support her breasts, looking at her figure with disdain. Then she said: "I see, the places that I should be older than you, but in terms of age, I would sigh at my own inferiority."
Forget about Situ Qingtian, even Gongsun Ze Tian, who was in his mother's stomach, couldn't help but feel speechless. Women were unreasonable, especially when it came to two beautiful women.
Age was a forbidden area for women, and she could say it herself, but she would never allow it to be mentioned by anyone.
"Uh, then what about the little sister?" The woman in white obviously didn't want to continue this topic, so she immediately came to a compromise.
"We're not familiar with each other, don't call me sister or sister." Murong Fenghuang continued to speak without giving any face to Murong Fenghuang.
"Alright, Phoenix, let's call it a day!" Situ Qingtian interrupted Murong Fenghuang and continued.
However, not long after, he felt a beautiful, jade-like hand grab onto his waist, tightly holding on to the soft flesh of his waist, fully displaying the 'one pinch, two twists, three kicks' secret manual.
"Madam, Madam, please show mercy. We've disturbed Madam's mood. Why don't you continue for a while longer?" Situ Qingtian immediately surrendered. A wise man does not want his wife to lose, if he did not surrender now, what else could he do?
"Hmph, then let me ask you, why did you invite us here?" Murong Fenghuang said snappily. This time, she was more straightforward.
"Ugh ?" This person ? You are the direct descendants of the Situ Family? " The woman in white did not answer, but instead asked something surprising. Normally, she would ask if she was from the Situ Family and this woman would ask about the direct descendant of the Situ Family.
"Miss, may I ask who you are? I am currently the head of the Situ Family. " Situ Qingtian very politely answered her.
"Humph!" Murong Fenghuang snorted coldly, staring at Situ Qingtian. It was clear that he was blaming him for randomly revealing her identity without knowing the bottom line.
"You? Could it be that you are Big Brother Qingtian? " The woman in white was a little nervous now, and she took a step forward as if she wanted to know the answer.
"Miss knows me?" It had to be known that the patriarch's name was Situ Qingtian. This news might not be considered a secret among the Five Great Clans and the imperial court, but if someone knew about it in such a small town, it would cause them to be suspicious and even wary.
However, the woman in white seemed to not care about the guards' vigilance as she took another step forward. At this moment, even Gongsun Zaitian could feel that this woman had initially been completely focused, ready to defend herself at any moment. Now, she had completely let her guard down, as if she had seen a family member she had not seen for a long time.
"Actually, I had already guessed it already, but I just wanted to hear it out from you. Only the patriarch of the Situ Family can carry the Soul Jade that the Patriarch represents, and only Situ Qingtian can marry into the Mu Rong Family." His tone was not as cold and unfamiliar as before, but had turned soft and weak, carrying a bit of a joke. However, the content of the words he said caused Situ Qingtian and Murong Fenghuang to turn pale with fright, as these were all the secrets of the clan. Furthermore, when he mentioned Murong Fenghuang, there was a faint hint of something else in his words.
"Who the hell are you?" She knew that the person who was able to obtain this information was definitely not an ordinary person, and if the woman was either an enemy with a strong background or someone she knew well, she had never seen this person before.
"Big Brother Qingtian, big sister Phoenix, do you still remember that Zhuge Feier by the Tiny Lake in the imperial capital back then?" The woman in white revealed the answer.
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused Gongsun Zaitian to collapse. "This bastard really does have the model of a Qianyu drama. Why didn't you say that you're Xia Yuhe from the Great Clarity Lakeside? "
"You ? You're Fei? "Are you really Fei'er?" Gongsun Ze Tian's parents naturally did not know who Xia Yuhe was. However, from their expressions, one could tell that they definitely knew this woman in white. Moreover, she was not an ordinary acquaintance, but was most likely a very familiar friend.
"Unexpectedly, after so many years, you have become a big girl! If I wasn't looking carefully, I wouldn't have dared to admit it. " Situ Qingtian lamented.
"Yes, little sister Fei'er, you've grown up and are now beautiful. I still remember back then, we played tricks on the entire imperial city, from royal relatives to court officials and merchants, and they were always scared when they saw us sisters. Haha, it's funny just thinking about it. When Gongsun Ztian heard his mother's nostalgic mention of the past, he could not help but criticize her. Was this great mother a devil in a mixed life?
"What else? The four treasures that were given to me in the past were taken out to be pawned, and given to beggars and widows. I'll pay up, and you'll earn some fame, but I haven't even settled the score with you yet. Talking about the past, Situ Qingtian became excited and immediately started flipping through his old accounts.
"I've finally seen you guys. I've been waiting here for a long time, and I've finally found you!" "I've been waiting for you guys ?" The woman called Zhuge Feier started crying again.
"What happened that year? Why did Mr. Zhuge take his daughter out of the imperial city overnight and then disappear without a trace? Even His Majesty, the Emperor, sent out a lot of spies to search for Mr. Zhuge, but they couldn't find him? "By the way, how is Mr. Zhuge?"
"My father, my father ? Big Brother Qing Tian, my father has passed away many years ago. " The woman in white had a mournful look on her face. When she mentioned her father, she seemed to remember something and burst into tears.
"What?" Is Master dead? "What happened?" Situ Qingtian asked anxiously.
"This ?" The woman in white looked around, indicating that it would be inconvenient for her to say anything more.
"All of you retreat first. I do not wish for anyone within a radius of thirty meters, including all of you." Situ Qingtian was anxious to know what happened to Mr. Zhuge, who was once his teacher.
