wrapped around the face, only revealing the eyes, nostrils, and mouth. The cheeks were thin, giving it a strange appearance.Si Yun gave a nonchalant shrug and rasped, "Si Huang, I don't need your pity...In the 3A area, all the houses are large detached villas, unlike the row houses we live in. These are single-family homes with their own small gardens.

The rent here is twice as expensive as ours, but there are no vacant units. Most of them are already rented out. Two security guards wearing headphones were patrolling and approached us when they saw us coming over to have a look.

"Since we didn't get that villa, let's just come and have a look around. We'll live there—" My brother showed his access card to the security guards, who saw it was a resident's card and said nothing.

My brother wasn't in a hurry to leave. He stopped and chatted with the security guard, secretly slipping him some money. On the surface, he was asking about when he could rent one of the large villas here, but in reality, he was trying to gather gossip.

The resort was very low-pressure. The security guards would take a little money and then chat with my brother for a few minutes, light up a cigarette, while Jiang Qiyun and I stood under a street lamp on the side.

"Those who live extravagantly will inevitably face karmic retribution, while those who accumulate goodness will surely have abundant blessings." Jiang Qiyun glanced around at the mansions and then back at me.

"Our family is just a humble one. In the eyes of the Divine Emperor, would we be considered a virtuous household" I quipped.

Jiang Qiyun smiled lightly: "Although your family is a bit mixed, everyone understands a little about cultivation and wouldn't do anything that would harm their good fortune. That's called accumulating virtue."

"With you here, we truly feel the weight of rewards for good deeds and punishments for evil ones. Of course, we would fear retribution from the heavens. Who would dare do anything that harms their own fortune... I was just telling a harmless little lie and you scolded me..." I muttered under my breath.

Jiang Qiyun let out a light chuckle: "Mu Xiaqiao, if you want to ask who loves you the most in the world, it's definitely your elder brother, but..."

He leaned down slightly, his clear voice a low warning in my ear: "But, if you were to ask who loves you most, heaven and earth combined, it would be this lord... You, don't forget your place."

Jiang Qiyun said "You have no idea" with a playful tone. His cold breath tickled my ears, making my hair stand on end and my ears itch.

I couldn't help but shrink my neck back, reaching out to rub my ears, when he reached out and grabbed my wrist.

"What are you doing" I looked at him puzzled.

"What are you doing I like seeing your ears turn red."

“......”

My brother quickly walked over and whispered, "Stop flirting around, come on. I know where Changjing's boyfriend lives in Building Number."

"How did you find that out" I asked curiously.

I asked if there were any special services here, and the security guard said with a smirk, "Yes, there are." I asked what kinds of services they offered, and he said, "Anything you want, as long as you have the money. You can play with handsome guys and pretty models just like in Building XX. I just passed by and heard strange screams coming from inside."

"What cries of pain"

My brother smirked: "The security guard said that wealthy people like to play more exciting games. Who knows what they're doing inside Adhering to the principle of customer privacy, they didn't ask, but that villa is rented out long-term! It’s said that the renter arrived and refused all cleaning and tidying services, eager to start playing as soon as they walked in!"

Time-wise, it adds up. Changjing and her boyfriend are now missing. Song Wei told me that the TV station called Changjing's family, and her family called Changjing. Changjing said she didn't want to work anymore and went on a trip to relax, and then she stopped answering the phone.

Because the family was worried about affecting Chang Jing's work, they didn't dare to call the police easily. It was my brother who asked Officer Lu to privately investigate and found that Chang Jing's last call record was with her family, and she hasn't answered any calls since then.

Actually, by following the celestial signs, it's also very easy to narrow down the search area. The dark clouds in the sky are gathering circle after circle, becoming increasingly dense.

In the night, it wasn't obvious at all. Besides, this was a place for enjoyment, with music, dancing, and fog swirling, no one paid attention.

Beneath the dark clouds were two or three large villas, two of which had lights. The house without lights suddenly flickered to life as we approached it.

My brother raised his hand, motioning for me to stand on the roadside and wait. He ran up and pressed the doorbell.

I pressed a few times, and the door suddenly swung open. A woman stood behind it, smirking at my brother through the security door.

Silence! She's really here!

I crouched in the greenbelt beside the road, pulling Jiang Qiyun down with me.

Jiang Qiyun said helplessly: " ... I already said there's a barrier."

"I can't see your barrier again... I always feel like you stand out so much, everyone can see you at a glance..." I whispered, "Just bear with me and stay here for a bit longer..."

He raised an eyebrow, but obediently crouched down beside me.

Changjing stood opposite my brother through a security door, her eyes locked on his. My brother was standing on the steps at the entrance, though he was taller than her, Changjing's aura from inside the room was incredibly powerful.

This is completely different from how I saw her before.

Chang Jing's makeup was delicate and exquisite. Due to her profession, she had to maintain an elegant demeanor. She also mentioned that she had recently undergone liposuction on her waist and was wearing a waist cincher, so she gave off a slightly shy and coquettish vibe.

Now she stood coldly behind the security door, a sneer playing on her lips, silent and gazing out with icy indifference.

Even I, who was standing on the sidelines, could feel that powerful aura.

"... Hello." My brother greeted me with a straight face.

Chang Jing gave him a cold glance and snorted, "What are you doing"

"Sorry, our walk and chat brought us here. My phone's out of battery, could I borrow an outlet I won't go in to disturb you, just need to plug it in for a bit." My brother pointed at the outlet on the edge of the entranceway.

Chang Jing slightly turned her body, seemingly looking at the situation around her.

Although these villas vary in size, their interior decorations are largely similar. Each villa has a charging port built into the entryway cabinet for convenient phone charging.

She saw where my brother was pointing and lightly frowned.

My brother hurriedly said, "Just charge for a few minutes. If you're busy, you can go ahead and do your thing. I'll withdraw myself in a few minutes."

I don't know what my brother said that touched her, but she actually gave a cold smile and nodded. "Alright," she said.

Having said that, she turned and walked into the house, disappearing inside.

My brother waved at me, and I bent over to run up to him. I took out Ah Dai and Ah Meng from my bag and whispered, "Don't go too deep, just take a look and come back!"

In a place where there's heavy Yin energy, even Ady and Amy can "come back to life." The two squeezed through the gaps in the security door and ran inside, sticking to the wall.

Jiang Qiyun stayed inside the barrier as a figurehead, I was afraid he would scare away the female ghost with his actions.

To this day, I've only heard its name, but never seen it.

I didn't even dare to ask Qijie, it seemed that Jiang Qiyun was also allowing Qijie to handle this matter and wasn't giving me any more hints.

"This house smells so strongly of fish..." My brother frowned slightly, catching a strange scent even from the entrance.

We can't talk too much, afraid of scaring the snake. Chang Jing suddenly appeared here. Judging from her condition, she doesn't seem to be coerced or kidnapped. Not only is she not restricted in her actions, but her mental state is also normal. Why did she cut off contact with the outside world

According to her previous statements, she placed great importance on the host's announcements. Now, she seems indifferent to losing her job, which is a huge contrast.

The stench was getting to me, and my brother glanced at me and muttered, "What's with your sensitive nose I just smell something fishy, it's not that bad, is it"

I covered my nose and shook my head. "I'd better back away... it's too strong..."

It is said that those who practice the path have sharp ears and clear eyes, while ordinary people are dull and slow. But these sharp ears and clear eyes are too much to bear! This stench mixed with evil thoughts and malice is overwhelming me, making my head spin.

A gust of eerie wind swept down the mountain path. Bai Wu Chang, in his snow-white robes, drifted down gracefully…m them, until death."I swallowed hard, this topic was a bit heavy.
