Director Gao ca with the crew today, originally to follow up on the curse surrounding Evelyn Wright.
As for what exactly this curse was, she didn’t know.
She thought at most it might involve burning so paper doll talisman or digging up a grave.
Who would have thought!
Less than an hour after they entered the village, the Ancestral Hall was burned down!
As the group rushed over, they saw a crowd of n and won outside the Ancestral Hall crying and wailing.
The expressions of the n were still normal, but the won appeared peculiar.
Facing the blazing fire, their expressions were a mix of crying and laughter.
Especially Evelyn Wright, despite being a charming third-tier celebrity, she had lost all semblance of her image, sitting on the ground with her hair and makeup in disarray, clearly crying, yet the smile on her lips showed relief and liberation.
Holden Wright saw her and imdiately rushed over, "Vivian!"
Upon hearing her boyfriend’s voice, Evelyn seed to snap back to reality. Her teary eyes first looked at the man before finally hugging him and once again crying uncontrollably.
"Edward... *sob*... Edward, I am free! We, we are all free *sob*..."
Hearing her wailing, the won who were initially shedding tears silently couldn’t help but cry out loud.
Amid the chaos, the viewers in the livestream didn’t know what was happening.
They just instinctively asked, [Where’s my girl?]
Director Gao saw the comnts and finally realized, "Where is Master Jennings?!"
Saying that, she gestured for the caraman to find them.
Just as Evelyn was crying, upon hearing this, she seed startled and rembered,
"Master Jennings... she and Mr. Chalrs are still inside."
With those words, Director Gao and the audience in front of their screens were thrown into an uproar.
There are still people inside the fire?!
Soone needs to go in and save them!!
Just as everyone was calling to report to the fire brigade to save people, they heard a clear female voice from behind them,
"Director Gao, are you looking for ?"
Originally facing the Ancestral Hall, everyone turned around at the sound, and the caraman aid the lens as if it were his eyes, panning over Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalrs from head to toe.
The two, who were supposedly still in the blaze, didn’t show any signs of being scorched by the fire, not even a speck of ash or soot on their clothes.
They were as pristine and tidy as when they arrived.
Oh, and they carried a sowhat ugly crocodile tortoise in their hands.
"How did you... end up behind us?"
Director Gao asked in a daze. Clearly, they arrived behind the others,
"Evelyn said you were still inside."
"Oh, just as the fire broke out, we got out ahead of ti."
Seeing the cara, Scarlett knew they were still live and didn’t ntion that Samuel Chalrs had just pulled her out using instantaneous teleportation.
The audience watching relaxed upon seeing she was unhard, realizing their worries were unnecessary.
With the abilities of their beloved girl, even if the fire burned remotely towards the audience it wouldn’t reach her.
As they spoke, the Clan Leader of the Nova Kinship, upon hearing her voice, struggled to squeeze through the crowd.
Knowing the caras were live, he pointed at Scarlett, his eyes glaring with anger and his face full of accusation,
"It’s her! This woman deliberately set fire to our Ancestral Hall, trampling on the honor our Nova Kinship has upheld for hundreds of years!"
So clan mbers who escaped the Ancestral Hall knew it was Scarlett who summoned lightning and set the fire, but rembering the bones buried underneath, they couldn’t harbor much resentnt against Scarlett.
However, those who were guarding the village entrance, unaware of what happened inside the Ancestral Hall, were enraged upon hearing the Clan Leader say Scarlett set the fire,
For a clan, the Ancestral Hall is of utmost significance.
Regardless of Scarlett’s reasons, setting fire to the Ancestral Hall ans she must pay with her life!
The audience in the livestream had been in a daze, finally comprehending one thing, and seeing the Clan Leader having spit blood twice in a row, looking pathetic and pitiful, many netizens imdiately sided with him,
[Scarlett Jennings set fire to their Ancestral Hall? Is she insane?! This is akin to setting fire to soone’s entire household!]
[Looks like she’s grown too arrogant from the online praise over the past year.]
[As a loyal fan who’s witnessed our girl prove people wrong countless tis, I choose to sit back and watch things unfold.]
In the comnts, opinions were divided equally between condemning and supporting Scarlett Jennings, but soon the argunt ceased.
Because Scarlett Jennings raised her hand, and a spirit light chain wrapped around the old Clan Leader.
"I advise you not to incite your clansn to create chaos now, or the Security Bureau won’t mind taking them all away."
Scarlett looked at him coldly,
"The bones laid beneath the Ancestral Hall need soone to pay the price for their deaths.
The Security Bureau and the police will arrive soon, so you’d better stay put until then."
With these words from Scarlett, the livestream audience erupted once more,
What does she an by bones laid beneath the Ancestral Hall?!
Is this Ancestral Hall so kind of human-eating nest?
The netizens were taken aback, and the mbers of the Nova Kinship couldn’t believe it, convinced it was slander,
"Not only did you set fire to our Ancestral Hall, but now you want to defa us! Don’t think we won’t act just because it’s being livestread!"
This statent once more fueled the anger of many of the young villagers, who were ready to push forward, but before they could, a group of people surged to Scarlett’s side.
It was the won from Nova Village who had escaped from the Ancestral Hall.
Many of them were the wives of the n opposing Scarlett, yet they stood on the opposite side from their husbands,
"We saw with our own eyes the bones laid beneath the Ancestral Hall! What’s wrong with burning such a place to the ground?!"
"If you think it’s slander, you can wait for the fire to be extinguished and dig out the bones with your own eyes!"
The people of Nova Village looked incredulously at the won standing against them, baffled by why they were siding with an outsider.
Had they all gone mad?
Or, was what Scarlett Jennings said true?
With the Nova Village won stepping forward, the conflict didn’t escalate further.
The Security Bureau and the police quickly sent people to control the scene.
The fire was subdued, and the police unearthed many bones from the ruins of the Ancestral Hall, leaving the Nova Kinship mbers unable to believe what they saw.
It was as if they were seeing this Ancestral Hall and their Clan Leader for the first ti.
The Clan Leader was taken away by the Security Bureau teeming with anger and resentnt, when Samuel Chalrs suddenly stepped forward to ask him,
"Do you know the na of the Evil Master your ancestors hired to lay the Evil Formation for you?"
The sa person who set up the evil formation also gave them the parasitic insects as a legacy, and as the Clan Leader, he must know the na.
The Clan Leader indeed knew, but... why would he tell these two in front of him?
"Hmph..."
Just as he was about to speak mockingly, Scarlett Jennings stuck Truth Talisman Paper on his forehead with a slap.
Clan Leader: ...
"His na is Shu’e."
Upon hearing this na, Samuel Chalrs’ dark eyes deepened.
As expected, it was him.
