There Are Yao Here

The moment the Old Butler brought him back to Qixia Street, Jiang Wang felt an intensely burning airflow at his broken ribs.

It was the 'Mirage' healing his injuries.

Jiang Wang's emotions shifted rapidly from confusion to astonishment, then to excitement. The Old Butler saw this and thought his young master had been hit on the head, becoming even more worried.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wang suddenly reached out his hand and clenched it, releasing an explosive aura that swept through all of Qixia Street.

Truly, if you survive a great disaster, you will have great fortune!

Just moments ago, he had been closer to death than ever before.

The threat of his life fading seemed to have stimulated the 'Mirage', causing its power to climb to a new peak.

This was also the closest he had ever been to the power of the 'Mirage'.

He really needed to thank that old man.

He also thought that although he had guessed the elder might be a Jianli based on his killing intent, it had never been confirmed. He still didn't even know who that old man was.

The Old Butler, however, was completely stunned.

It was obvious that his young master was completely fine.

He felt like he might have accidentally disrupted his young master's plan.

His young master had deliberately pretended to be on the verge of death; otherwise, the current situation was hard to explain.

Though he didn't know his young master's true intentions, the Old Butler felt a pang of guilt.

Jiang Wang seemed to suddenly snap back to reality.

"Uncle Tong..." he looked at the Old Butler's slightly hunched figure, "Didn't you say you were just an ordinary old man? You lied to me!"

The Old Butler said awkwardly, "Doesn't my young master also have things he's hiding from me? Besides, in front of my young master, I really am just an ordinary old man."

Jiang Wang fell silent.

Yes, everyone had their secrets.

Seeing Xiaoyu running over in a panic, Jiang Wang said softly, "Please, Uncle Tong, investigate that old man's identity. If necessary, go to the Du Family's place. If it's related to Du Zicheng, bring him to see me."

The Old Butler nodded.

Sun Qingya had already withdrawn all of the Black Flame Army from Hun City earlier, but Shan Qiyu remained for the time being. However, the Old Butler intended to investigate personally this time, and the Du Family would undoubtedly suffer another ordeal.

Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Wang's current state, completely perplexed.

Jiang Wang rubbed her head and was about to say something when, because the power of the 'Mirage' had not yet subsided, he clearly felt the burning aura become somewhat restless when he touched Xiaoyu.

Before he could react to what was happening.

He saw Xiaoyu's body tremble violently.

She stared at Jiang Wang with wide eyes.

Jiang Wang became a little nervous and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiaoyu lowered her head, pursing her lips.

Jiang Wang hurriedly moved his hand away from Xiaoyu's head, wondering if the 'Mirage' had taken Xiaoyu's soul.

"Young master..." Xiaoyu looked up again, her eyes already teary.

"This is bad!" Jiang Wang cupped Xiaoyu's face, "Believe me, young master, I will definitely cure you. Doesn't Master Tao know how to draw talismans to exorcise demons and also treat illnesses? I'll go find him right now!"

Although he had decided not to step out of Qixia Street again until he was truly powerful, for Xiaoyu's sake, he couldn't afford to worry about that anymore.

Without giving Xiaoyu a chance to speak again, Jiang Wang had already rushed out in a frantic hurry.

Miss Shu had just arrived at Qixia Street and was looking for the Xunyang Marquis Manor when she saw Jiang Wang's figure quickly dart into a small alley.

He was so exhausted that sweat streamed down his face. Since birth, if he could lie down, he wouldn't sit; if he could sit, he wouldn't stand. Running like this was the first time in his life.

Master Tao's residence was adjacent to Qixia Street.

It was in a small alley, separated by a wall from Qixia West Street and Xicheng Alley.

Entering through the small path from Qixia Street, stepping into Xicheng Alley, and then turning a corner would get her there.

Passing the place where she encountered the veiled Jianli, Miss Shu caught up and lightly patted Jiang Wang's shoulder, causing him to immediately draw his sword to strike. However, Miss Shu directly grasped his wrist.

"It's you again?" Jiang Wang was instead relieved. If he were to encounter danger again due to bad luck, he wouldn't have time to retreat to Qixia Street.

Miss Shu's mood was also unsettled. She thought that Jiang Wang had clearly been beaten half to death by that old man. Although another old man had rescued him, how could Jiang Wang be jumping around again in such a short time?

She realized there was a significant problem here.

If the Garrison Headquarters hadn't lied.

If Jiang Wang had indeed been beaten to the brink of death.

This abnormal phenomenon now could only have one explanation.

Jiang Wang was actually a Yao!

A Yao disguised as a human, even forming the largest power in Hun City, must have a shocking conspiracy!

She felt she couldn't quickly expose the monster Jiang Wang's true face and had to act cautiously.

If she could discern the monster's objective and even save Hun City, she would undoubtedly earn immense merit.

At that point, the Princess's status would also rise accordingly, and she would gain greater influence in front of the Saint.

Jiang Wang didn't know what Miss Shu was thinking. He didn't have time to bother with her at the moment and ran straight into the alley.

Master Tao's residence wasn't luxurious, but it wasn't simple either; it was just an ordinary small courtyard.

Jiang Wang arrived at the sixth house in the alley.

The wooden door was slightly dilapidated and ajar.

Master Tao was seen sitting in front of the main hall, diligently grinding herbs.

Jiang Wang pushed the door open and entered, with Miss Shu following closely behind.

She quietly surveyed the small courtyard.

There was a monster's aura here!

Indeed, she became even more convinced of her suspicions.

Her gaze fell upon Master Tao.

Could this person also be a monster?

Were these two monsters meeting?

If they were going to discuss some important matter, why didn't Jiang Wang drive her away?

Was he intentionally bringing her here to silence her?

Thinking of this, Miss Shu's face instantly turned pale.

Damn it, she had been careless!

She shouldn't have followed so rashly.

"Master Tao!" Jiang Wang glanced back. Although he found it strange that Miss Shu seemed so frightened, he really didn't have time to think about it. He stepped forward, grabbed Master Tao's hand, and said, "Quickly, come with me to save a life!"

Master Tao exclaimed in surprise, "Young friend, you're willing to let me read your fortune now? Have you sensed something is wrong?"

"Stop with the nonsense, let's go!"

Jiang Wang pulled Master Tao and ran out.

Master Tao quickly said, "Don't rush, don't rush, let me prepare!"

He broke free from Jiang Wang's grasp and hurried into the main hall, taking out some talismans.

Returning to Jiang Wang's side, Master Tao said solemnly, "It's come to this, and rushing won't help. Because too much time has been delayed, I don't have a foolproof plan. This will cost me some lifespan. I can only do my best to help you break the ill omen, and I only hope I won't lose my life because of it."

Hearing his mystical words, Jiang Wang felt even more that Master Tao was like a swindler.

But regarding Xiaoyu's condition, it seemed there was no other way besides finding Master Tao.

Jiang Wang, who had arrived in a hurry, dragged Master Tao away in a hurry.

Miss Shu, who had been ignored, didn't leave immediately.

She had already prepared herself for a desperate fight.

She hadn't expected things to unfold differently from what she had imagined.

Could it be that these two monsters had already reached the final stage of their plan and didn't care about being exposed?

Perhaps their conversation just now held a hidden meaning.

Jiang Wang was so anxious.

Master Tao spoke of delaying time and losing lifespan. It all seemed highly suspicious!

She carefully sensed the monster's aura in the area.

She cautiously approached the main hall.

The closer she got, the stronger the monster's aura became.

She nervously patted her face, tightened her grip on the spear in her hand, and finally stepped into the main hall.

The furniture in the main hall was arranged simply. Besides some paintings hanging on the wall, there was only an altar and a table. The scent of talismans and cinnabar was indeed strong.

To the left of the main hall was a small room.

The door was tightly shut.

Miss Shu tried to push the door open.

The creaking sound seemed particularly jarring in her tense state, making her heart beat faster.

The moment the door was opened.

A dark shadow flashed past.

Miss Shu, startled, quickly closed the door.

But from that brief glimpse, she noticed that the windows in the room were all sealed with red cloth, and candles were lit in the corners. The scene was very eerie.

Just as she held her breath, hesitating whether to push open the door again.

A burst of bell-like laughter suddenly came from inside the room.

The sound seemed to explode right by her ear.

For a moment, her scalp tingled and the soles of her feet felt cold.

She stiffly turned around, swallowed hard, and slowly shuffled out of the main hall, then bolted out of the courtyard like lightning.

It was too scary!

Qixia Street, Xunyang Marquis Manor.

When Jiang Wang returned with Master Tao, dinner was being served at the manor. Shan Qiyu, Zhao Si, and Xiaoyu were sitting together. Xiaoyu held a bowl in her hands, shoveling food into her mouth, eating with great relish.

But Jiang Wang, who knew Xiaoyu's appetite was usually very small, found this scene even more suspicious.

"It's over, she's too sick to be saved..."

Jiang Wang immediately looked at Master Tao with a grave expression and said, "Master Tao, it's all up to you now. I never believed in your methods before, but if you can really cure my Xiaoyu, I'll do anything you ask."

Xiaoyu, who was eating, looked up with a bewildered expression.

Zhao Si was very surprised, "Xiaoyu, are you sick?"

Naturally, one would see a doctor if they were sick, but Jiang Wang bringing Master Tao here suggested it was no ordinary illness.

He was about to burst into tears.

The meat in his mouth no longer tasted good.

"Oh Xiaoyu, I didn't expect you to be so young and yet..."

Xiaoyu was shocked.

What's wrong with me?

Seeing Zhao Si's heartbroken expression, she almost thought she was dead.

Master Tao stood frozen.

"Young friend, are you mistaken? This girl is perfectly healthy, not a single problem. On the contrary, you have a big problem. Don't hold back, admit you're sick, and don't use your maid as an excuse. Although the situation might be a bit tricky, I'll save you with my life."

Jiang Wang's face turned dark.

"Master Tao, you truly are a fraud. My Xiaoyu has such a serious problem, and you say she's perfectly fine?"

Xiaoyu blankly shoveled another mouthful of rice into her mouth. "Young Master, what's wrong with me?"

Jiang Wang exclaimed, "See? Isn't this a big problem?!"
