1840 Old Liang Family Residence, Song Yanru’s Clue

Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen woke up at the same time. Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw each other. They were stunned at first, then overjoyed and excited. They thought they were dreaming, until they heard Master Chi tell them it was time to leave.

Only then did the two realize that they weren’t dreaming at all.

Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen were excited, especially Fang Yu. He had seen with his own eyes how Song Yanru had chased Lu Ningwen, followed by that monster. He had thought that Lu Ningwen was doomed; who would have thought that Master Chi would really save him? Fang Yu couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart. His lips trembled a few times, and he stuttered in disbelief, “Brother Lu, Brother Lu, is that you? Are you really okay? Are you really okay?”

Fang Yu still wanted to reach out and touch him, but he had yet to regain much of his strength. He didn’t even have the strength to reach out, let alone touch Lu Ningwen.

Seeing that Fang Yu was fine, Lu Ningwen heaved a sigh of relief.

On the side, Qi Hao hurriedly reminded them, “Okay, it’s good that everyone is fine. Let’s get out first before we catch up. Listen to my sister-in-law and leave first.”

As soon as Qi Hao said that, Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen calmed down a little. When they regained some strength, the two hurriedly got up and followed Celestial Master Chi.

As they left, Lu Ningwen suddenly thought of something. He quickly looked at Celestial Master Chi agitatedly and fearfully. “Celestial Master Chi, Celestial Master Chi, that woman, Song Yanru, wants all of us dead. It seems she obtained some useful clue. When she was chasing me, she let slip that the clues that the rest of us picked were fake, and hers was the only real one.”

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Ningwen said that, Chi Shuyan stopped in her tracks. She immediately had Haozi search for the clue on the unconscious Song woman on the ground.

Curious, Qi Hao hurriedly wanted to go over, but Chi Shuyan suddenly stopped him.

“Sister-in-law!” Qi Hao was puzzled.

“Men and women shouldn’t touch each other. Forget it, I’ll go. Wait here first!” After saying that, Chi Shuyan immediately went to search Song Yanru. Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, she couldn’t find the clue.

Chi Shuyan’s eyes were fixed on Song Yanru’s face. This woman had always been smart and cunning. It was probably impossible for her to keep the clue on her.

Only then did Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen see Song Yanru, who was covered in blood and unconscious. They were shocked and puzzled as they looked at Qi Hao.

Fang Yu was the first to ask, “Haozi, the Song woman… What’s wrong with her?”

Fang Yu suddenly remembered that he had fainted for no reason. Looking at the tragic state of the Song woman, he had a guess that this woman had probably done something again, and had even attacked Brother Qi.

Thinking this, Fang Yu hurriedly looked at Qi Hao. Seeing that he was fine and had no broken limbs, Fang Yu took a deep breath and relaxed. Fortunately, Brother Qi was fine.

Fortunately, Brother Qi had been wary of that Song woman.

Qi Hao didn’t know what Fang Yu was thinking. His legs turned to jelly when he thought of how Song Yanru had wanted to kill him just now.

If his sister-in-law hadn’t come a second later, he would have died at this woman’s hands. At that moment, he didn’t have the slightest bit of sympathy for the woman who had wanted his life.

Fang Yu still wanted to ask what had just happened, but Qi Hao didn’t have time to explain it to the two of them at that moment. He just said, “Let’s get out first!”

After saying that, he pricked up his ears to listen for movement around him. The loud noise just now had disappeared at some point, and there was an inexplicable sense of unease in his heart. However, when he saw his sister-in-law standing calmly on the side, Qi Hao relaxed. Seeing that his sister-in-law hadn’t found anything after a long while, he was about to speak.

On the side, Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu were the first to speak. “Celestial Master Chi, that Song woman is too cunning and smart. She most likely doesn’t have the clue on her.”

Qi Hao’s heart tightened when he heard this. “Then, what should we do?”

At that moment, the sound of steps came from afar again. This time, the sound was very obvious; it sounded like it was only a dozen meters away from the cave.

This time, it wasn’t just Qi Hao who heard it. Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen also heard it, and their scalps turned numb.

Lu Ningwen’s face was very unsightly and nervous at that moment. “Celestial Master Chi, when Song Yanru and I accidentally fell down here earlier, I kept feeling like something else was chasing me!” Lu Ningwen didn’t see the gray defeat and fear on Fang Yu’s face as he paused before he continued, “It seemed like that thing would catch up to me a few times, but it didn’t, like it was deliberately teasing me. I was scared at that time and kept running, so I didn’t see what it was! Oh, right, I think its eyes were red!”

As soon as Lu Ningwen said that, Fang Yu’s face turned deathly pale. He suddenly remembered the monster he had seen while hiding in the closet. He opened his mouth to tell Lu Ningwen, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn’t say a word.

“What time is it?” Chi Shuyan suddenly asked.

The three of them were a bit stupefied by Chi Shuyan’s random question. It was Lu Ningwen who took out his phone and replied blankly, “Five minutes to midnight.”

Chi Shuyan’s face changed slightly when she heard this. She couldn’t be bothered to look for the clue any longer and immediately wanted to take the three of them away. However, Song Yanru woke up at that point and grabbed Chi Shuyan’s pants leg. On the verge of death, she pleaded, “Take me… take me out. I’ll tell you what the clue is!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Yanru spat out another mouthful of blood. Chi Shuyan stared murderously at the woman in front of her and suddenly took out a Truth Talisman and stuck it on her back.

“Where is the clue that you got?”

Song Yanru was in a daze and was about to spit out the truth, but her head quickly cleared. Seeing this, Chi Shuyan immediately injected dense spiritual energy into the Truth Talisman. The golden spiritual energy immediately scattered the condensed yin energy that was around Song Yanru. In the end, Song Yanru honestly spat out the truth. “In my shoe!”
