Along the way, Chu Sihan did not hide his feelings for her at all.

She saw everything and kept responding.

However, marriage was not in her plans yet.

She seed to have thought of sothing and exclaid.

She said to Chu Sihan, “I have sothing to give the Lord.”

“Huh?”

Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows. “What’s that?”

“This!”

Lu Sheng took out a talisman and passed it to Chu Sihan.

Chu Sihan glanced at her and received it suspiciously.

After scrutinizing it carefully, he frowned in confusion. “This is... a Fate-changing Talisman?”

“Yes.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “I’ve always wanted to give it to you, but I forgot about it later.”

Chu Sihan smiled. “Uncle-Master Lu gave this to you, right?”

“Yes.”

Lu Sheng pouted and sighed softly. “Master spent ten years of his cultivation to create this Fate-changing Talisman for . It was originally for to use, but I never used it. Later on, I couldn’t use it anymore.”

“For you?”

Chu Sihan’s heart jumped. “Why did he give you this?”

“To prevent from transmigrating to this space-ti dinsion.”

Lu Sheng smiled. “However, this might be fate. I have no desire to use this Fate-changing Talisman even though it’s with .”

Chu Sihan held the Fate-changing Talisman tightly and looked at her silently.

Just when Lu Sheng thought that he would not speak again, she heard him breathe deeply.

Vaguely, Lu Sheng seed to have heard him sigh with emotion in an extrely light voice. “Thankfully!”

If she used it, he might not be able to et her again.

“You can just drip your blood onto the talisman!”

Chu Sihan smiled and pulled her hand. He placed the Fate-changing Talisman in her palm and interlocked his fingers with hers.

Lu Sheng lowered her head to look at his tightly clenched hand. She blinked and looked up at him in confusion.

“Keep this Fate-changing Talisman well.”

He looked at her and said in a low voice, “It’s useless to .”

“Useless?”

Lu Sheng frowned. “Impossible. Master said it was useful.”

“Oh?”

Chu Sihan’s interest was piqued. “You even asked Uncle-Master Lu about ?”

“When we first t, I thought that it would be a pity if you could only live to thirty with your good looks.”

“So, after eting Master, I asked him about your destiny.”

She chuckled at him.

Chu Sihan sighed softly.

Regardless of the reason, it was for him, right?

Lu Sheng took her hand out of his and examined the Fate-changing Talisman for a while. She frowned and asked again, “Is it really useless?”

“It’s useless.”

Chu Sihan looked at her with a burning gaze. “If you want to save , there’s actually a very simple thod.”

Lu Sheng was about to ask about the thod when she suddenly rembered the State Minister’s words and imdiately understood.

She pursed her lips and lowered her head. After a while, she looked up at him.

She happened to see his eyes filled with anticipation.

She scratched her head and said softly, “I do want to marry you, but not now.”

Chu Sihan smiled imdiately.

His stern image was gone, and he smiled foolishly.

He was already satisfied with her ‘thought.’

There was still a long way to go.

Seeing his smile, Lu Sheng could not help but smile.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

“They’re like two fools.”

When Lu Zhou saw their expressions, he couldn’t help but complain.

The duo who were laughing foolishly regained their senses and looked at him at the sa ti.

“Master, why are you back?”

“To send sothing to your Lord.”

Lu Zhou handed the letter to Chu Sihan. “It’s from Lin Jiang Mansion and it’s for you.”

There was a ssenger pigeon in his hand.

Chu Sihan reached out and took out the note from the envelope.

“Lord, sothing big happened at Lin Jiang Mansion. Co back quickly.”

Chu Sihan frowned slightly.

He looked at Lu Sheng and said, “I might have to return to Lin Jiang. Do you want to follow back?”

“But...”

Lu Sheng looked into the inn.

Lu Zhou smiled faintly. “If you want to leave, leave. Is there a need to be worried with around?”

Lu Sheng shook her head. “No, I promised Mdm Tong that I would bring her back to Huang Yang Town with Kai Chun and Kai Dong.”

“Don’t worry. After treating these people, I’ll send them back to Huang Yang Town personally.”

“They’re fine!”

Lu Sheng said, “In the entire inn, only their guest room was closed.”

“That’s even better.”

Lu Zhou said, “I’ll arrange for them to be sent back to Huang Yang Town tomorrow morning.”

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly. “Of course, if you can’t bear to leave , you can stay too.”

“Dream on.”

Lu Sheng snorted coldly and said to Chu Sihan, “Lord, when are you leaving?”

“Tsk—”

Lu Zhou snorted. “Indeed, you forgot your father after having a husband!”

“I can’t be bothered with you.”

Lu Sheng pouted and looked back at Chu Sihan.

“Now.”

Chu Sihan straightened his clothes and spoke softly.

Lu Zhou tore open a void for them and said to the two of them, “Leave quickly.”

“Goodbye, Master!”

Lu Sheng waved at him.

Lu Zhou said calmly, “Rember my crayfish.”

“Got it!”

Lu Sheng rolled her eyes at him before walking into the void with Chu Sihan.

—————

Lin Jiang Mansion.

Seeing Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng suddenly appear in front of him, Chu Yun could not react imdiately.

“Lord, Miss Lu, why did you...” co back so quickly?

His pigeon mail was sent two days ago. Logically speaking, they should have just received the letter. How did they co back so quickly?

It would take five to six days to return to Lin Jiang Mansion from Huang Yang Town.

“I happened to co back a few days ago and received this letter midway.”

Chu Sihan explained calmly and looked at him. “What happened?”

Chu Yun was silent for a mont before saying in a deep voice, “Lord, after you follow and take a look, you’ll understand.”

Seeing his expression, Chu Sihan guessed that sothing big had happened.

“Lead the way.”

Chu Yun looked at Lu Sheng and said hesitantly, “Miss Lu, why don’t you excuse yourself?”

No matter how powerful Lu Sheng was, she was still a girl.

If she saw that scene, she would probably be shocked.

Chu Sihan frowned slightly. “She doesn’t have to be excused.”

“No!”

Chu Yun hurriedly explained, “That’s not what I ant. It’s just that... I’m afraid Miss Lu will have nightmares after seeing that scene.”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Guard Chu, I haven’t contacted you for a while. Have you forgotten what I do?”

Chu Yun was slightly stunned and could not help but smile awkwardly.

“I was stupid and forgot about your capabilities!”

This was really confusing.

Lu Sheng was not even afraid of ghosts. Would she be afraid of those?

Chu Sihan glanced at him. “Cut the crap and lead the way.”

“Yes!”

Chu Yun did not hesitate anymore. Instead, he prepared a carriage and brought the duo to a nearby mortuary.

“Lord, Guard Chu!”

The person guarding the door was a skinny old man. He had never seen Lu Sheng before, so he only greeted Chu Sihan and Chu Yun.

However, he looked suspiciously at Lu Sheng, as if he did not understand why Chu Sihan and Chu Yun brought a girl to such a place.

Moreover, even his wife was afraid of what had happened recently, let alone the girl. She did not dare to co over and accompany him anymore.

“Lord, this place has a strong Yin aura. It’s not good for a lady.”

After hesitating for a while, the old man decided to intervene.

“Yes.”

Chu Sihan replied softly, seemingly not bothered.

Lu Sheng smiled and thanked him. “Thank you for your concern, Uncle!”

Then, the three of them crossed the threshold and walked in.

The old man was impressed.

If not to earn a living, he would not dare to stay in such a place.

This girl was very bold!

Chu Yun led the duo in and stopped in front of a row of corpses.

Seeing this scene, not to ntion Lu Sheng, but even Chu Sihan could not help but frown.

The row of bodies were all pretty girls in their twenties.

“These six bodies were placed at the entrance of the governnt office early in the morning. They have been pasted with a notice these few days, but no one ca to collect them. They all said that they have not seen them before.”

Chu Yun scanned the corpses and explained in a low voice.

Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng went forward to take a closer look.

Chu Yun followed them. He glanced at Lu Sheng and whispered into Chu Sihan’s ear, “The coroner has already seen them. These six bodies were violated before they died. I suspect that this is a murder case involving won.”

After seeing it, Chu Sihan nodded slightly. “Indeed.”

He looked up at Chu Yun. “Go out and guard the door. Don’t let anyone in.”

“Yes!”

Chu Yun thought that Chu Sihan wanted him to go out so that he could tell Lu Sheng that the bodies were violated when they were alive.

Hence, he went out to guard the door without thinking.

After Chu Yun left, Lu Sheng took out a dagger and lifted a corpse’s skirt. She left a thumb-sized wound on her thigh.

Black blood flowed out of the corpse.

She pressed on the leg of the corpse and squeezed out a black worm.

The worm was already dead and lying there motionlessly.

“Indeed.”

Chu Sihan glanced at the black work and spoke faintly.

“The murderer must be an expert in using Gu (a legendary venomous insect). Moreover, the targets were young girls.”

Lu Sheng scanned the corpses and guessed.

Chu Sihan used sothing to pick up the black worm and said lightly, “These are all abandoned child Gus.”

“The mother Gu should be with the murderer. If only there were alive child Gus.”

If a child Gu was still alive, it ant that the mother Gu was nearby.

Unfortunately, all these child Gus were dead. There were only two possibilities.

Firstly, the mother Gu died too.

Secondly, the murderer had already left Lin Jiang Mansion.

Of course, both possibilities were the sa to them.

With her and Chu Sihan around, they were not afraid that they could not find the murderer.

It was only a matter of ti.

Of course, it would be troubleso if there was a third possibility.

Chu Sihan threw down the item in his hand and cast a spell to make the disgusting child Gu disappear.

“These people have been dead for a few days. The seventh day after their deaths has passed and no one recognized them even now. I’m afraid they can’t go to hell.”

He looked up at Lu Sheng and spoke faintly.

“Why don’t we try summoning a soul?” Lu Sheng suggested.

Chu Sihan nodded slightly.

Lu Sheng stood at the side and yawned. Her eyes narrowed.

She had been guarding the inn with Chu Sihan since they were in Yong Fu Town. It was already midnight, and she was a little tired.

It was much easier for Chu Sihan to summon souls than her.

He could casually conjure a few hand seals, but she still had to set up various items and perform a ritual.

Chu Sihan placed his hands down. When he opened his eyes, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the room.

After a while, the two of them saw a few ladies curled up at the side, staring at them fearfully.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. She walked towards the ladies and stopped in front of them.

“Do you know why I called you over?”

The ladies shook their heads.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Then, do you still rember who caused your death?”

“It’s... It’s...”

The ladies looked at each other before shaking their heads.

“I don’t know!”

“You don’t know?”

Lu Sheng frowned. “Didn’t you see his face back then?”

They shook their heads at the sa ti. “No.”

“That’s a bit troubleso.”

Lu Sheng turned around and looked at Chu Sihan. “Lord, what should we do?”

Chu Sihan waved his hand and sent the six ladies away.

“Hey—”

Lu Sheng frowned. “Why did the Lord send them away?”

“They had their heads covered before they died and did not know how the murderer looked like. There would be no answer if we asked.”

Chu Sihan walked towards her and said softly, “Let’s go back first.”

“Alright!”

Lu Sheng sighed softly and could only leave with Chu Sihan.

“Lord, Miss Lu!”

Chu Yun went forward. “Did you see anything?”

Lu Sheng shrugged. Chu Sihan said lightly, “We won’t be able to find out anything soon. Let’s return to the governnt office first.”

—————

After Chu Yun sent the duo back to Chu Sihan’s courtyard, he turned around and was about to leave.

“Wait.”

Chu Sihan stopped him and instructed, “Tomorrow, get soone to walk around the nearby village to see if there are any missing girls.”

When Chu Yun heard that, he explained, “We’ve already walked around. They all said that there aren’t missing girls.”

He even went with Constable Ji personally. In the end, they all said that no daughters had gone missing.

“If they’re not from nearby, how did the six bodies get sent over?”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “They couldn’t be shipped from afar, right?”

“I also find this matter strange.”

Chu Yun said with a gloomy face, “The coroner said that the six girls died on the sa day.”

“Died on the sa day?”

Lu Sheng looked at Chu Sihan and said softly, “I forgot to ask them this question just now.”

Chu Sihan frowned slightly. “If I’m not wrong, this person should have lived nearby back then.”

An ordinary person would be exhausted from carrying so many corpses alone.

Hence, he guessed that the cri scene was nearby.

He looked at Chu Yun and asked, “Have you checked the nearby inns and houses?”

Chu Yun shook his head. “I’ve asked, but I haven’t checked.”

“Ask?”

Chu Sihan looked at him sternly. “You’ve followed for years. Why didn’t you investigate such an important matter?”

What could he get out of this just by asking?
