When the two of them arrived at this strange courtyard, they felt a cold wind blowing. They had a bad premonition and did not dare to look around.

Yu Miao was brought to this mountain peak this morning.

Liu Min told her that if she wanted to regain her youth, she had to go somewhere first. Yu Miao agreed without hesitation.

When they arrived at this mountain peak, Yu Miao felt that something was wrong.

There were patrols everywhere, and the security was tight.

The surroundings were extremely quiet. There was not even the sound of birds. It was extremely strange.

Even the patrols were very silent. All of them wore masks and black tights, as if they were ready to fight at any time.

After Liu Min brought them in, she bowed to the old man and walked out.

The old man smiled at the two of them and said in an old voice, “Sit down first. I’m not an outsider. You can be rest assured.”

He sat in front of a wooden table. Beside the wooden table were two futons specially prepared for Yu Miao and He Wan.

The two of them walked over carefully and sat down with their legs bent. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the old man, afraid that something would happen.

The old man stared at the two of them carefully and finally nodded in satisfaction.

They were indeed his granddaughters. They were all extremely good-looking, but they looked too timid.

He deliberately walked out of Chinatown and came to the nearby mountains to cultivate so that he could avoid Wen Chuan.

He knew that Wen Chuan could sense all the magic power fluctuations in Chinatown like a surveillance monitor.

Therefore, every time he had to use a secret technique, he would come to this mountain peak.

He named this mountain Mingde Mountain.

He Wan noticed that the old man was looking at them. She secretly raised her head and looked at the old man.

She realized that this old man was wearing a black Daoist robe. His hair was disheveled, his eyes were turbid, and there were many wrinkles on his face. He should be in his sixties or seventies.

The old man’s eyes were mean and ruthless.

He Wan’s intuition told her that this person was not to be trifled with.

The old man laughed loudly and asked, “How have you been these past few days? Has everything been going well for you?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Miao lowered her head with a dejected expression.

For the past few days, she had been living a terrible life. Staying in her room was like going to jail.

He Wan was also embarrassed.

Ever since her luck had been lost, the He family had always bullied her. Yesterday, they even took advantage of her and asked her to wash the entire family’s feet.

How could she be willing?

In a fit of anger, she ran out of the He family and met the person who had been contacting her.

Hence, that person brought her to the mountain peak.

The old man got up and laughed as he walked towards the two of them, his gaze sweeping between them.

He walked behind He Wan and grabbed her neck tightly. “Hahaha, you’re really a useless fellow. You smashed a good deck of cards into pieces.”

This kind of idiot shouldn’t be alive.

He let out a strange cry and chanted an incantation, continuously absorbing the remaining luck on He Wan’s body.

He Wan screamed in fear. She scolded loudly, “Who are you? What do you want? If you dare to hurt me, I’ll tell your young master.”

The person who contacted her had always been a young master.

Therefore, she thought that the young master was the person in charge here.

It was also that young master who told her that if she wanted to recover her luck, she had to follow a woman in her thirties.

Unexpectedly, she was brought to this place.

He Wan struggled with all her might, but the place that the old man grabbed seemed to be pulled by a magnet. She could not break free no matter how hard she tried.

She also felt a burning sensation on her neck, as if something had been sucked away.

That feeling was not pain, but a feeling of being stripped away.

He Wan continued to scream, “Ahhh… Let go of me!”

After more than ten seconds, she ran out of strength and collapsed to the ground. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was wide open, but she could not make a sound.

Yu Miao, who was sitting on another cushion, screamed in fear.

However, Yu Miao quickly realized that if she continued to shout like this, the next person the old man would deal with would be her.

Hence, she covered her mouth tightly and stopped making a sound.

Yu Miao wanted to escape, but the entire mountain was filled with the old man’s people. She had nowhere to run.

She was scared out of her wits by the scene in front of her. Her legs were so weak that she could not stand up at all..
