It's two o'clock in the morning, and the night is dark.
The entire Tingyu Pavilion was brightly lit, both the lights in the small hall and the lights in the yard were on.
The servants who were originally responsible for taking care of Tingyu Pavilion were sent back, and only Mo Yun sat guarding in the yard.
Inside the house, Nan Su and Yun Yuwei were sitting by the bed. Because Mu Qian was a girl, it was convenient for them to take care of her, and the three men of the Yun family also went back.
"Mom, you go and rest first, I'll just stay here and watch." Yun Yuwei looked at Nan Su who was about to close his eyes with his head propped up and said.
"No, I have to stay here."
She still feels scared now, what if she discovers it too late.
"You have to take care of your health. Besides, Dr. Fan is also staying at home. The guest house where Chi Si lives is only a few steps away. They can catch whatever happens. You have been doing your work these days.
I haven’t had a good rest in the first place, so I’d better go back.” Yun Yu slightly advised.
"No, I still have to guard. If something happens to Qian Qian, I will be even more embarrassed to see Ning Xi in the future."
This matter was not told to the Ning family tonight. Only Ning Jin knew about the Soul-Breaking Curse last time, and now something happened to Mu Qian again.
If Ning Jingsheng finds out, there's no telling what kind of trouble there will be.
He loved this niece from the bottom of his heart, and had protected her like an eyeball since she was a child. When Mu Qian came back some time ago, Ning Jingsheng had a phone call with the old man.
It was made clear both inside and outside the words that if the Yun family couldn't take care of Mu Qian, they would send her to the Ning family.
"Just listen to what I say. It's better for us to take turns guarding, than to be here together in a daze and let others take advantage of the situation. I'll watch first, and you can come back later in the night."
After listening to Yun Yuwei's words, Nan Su also stood up.
"Then keep an eye on her. If there is any movement, you must call me immediately." Nan Su said and walked to the door, "Also, pay attention to the temperature of the air conditioner. It cannot be too low."
"Don't worry, you have a good rest. If there is any problem, I will have someone call you right away."
Nan Su turned around and left Tingyuge.
Only Yun Yuwei and Mu Qian were left in the whole room. The people on the bed seemed to have fallen into a huge dream.
Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, her murmurs in her sleep were almost inaudible, and there was more and more sweat on her forehead.
Yun Yuwei changed a clean towel to wipe her face and neck. Bai's palm caressed her face, and Yun Yu leaned over to comfort her in a low voice.
The person on the bed seemed to feel her presence and stopped moving after a while.
"Miss, your coffee." Mo Yun handed over the cup.
Yun Yu sniffed the fragrant coffee, leaned back in the soft chair and took a sip. She looked at the person on the bed with a slight smile on her lips.
When I fall asleep, I really look like a little angel.
Her body sank into the soft chair, Yun Yuwei's eyelids began to slowly become heavy, and she slowly closed her eyes.
Mo Yun, who was guarding the door, saw this and stepped forward to cover Yun Yuwei with a blanket.
The huge Yun Mansion would be lifeless if there were no lights on at night. The quaint courtyard that has been passed down for centuries always seems a bit more mysterious at night.
The guest courtyard is used by the Yun family to entertain guests. There are seven courtyards used as guest courtyards. Among them, the courtyard closest to Tingyu Pavilion is dedicated to Chi Si.
From the day he became a disciple of Mr. Yun, he would go to the Yun family library a few days a month to copy books. During that time, he would inevitably have to stay overnight at the Yun family.
For the sake of convenience, the Yun family simply used Heyuan as Chi Si's exclusive courtyard.
The lights under the corridor were bright. The man sitting on the rocking chair under the eaves had a book on his lap. After turning the pages with his slender fingers, the man looked up at the sky.
The round and bright moon hung in the sky, and the clouds and mist slowly floated in, covering half of the moon.
"Sir, do you need to go over and take a look?" Heng Li asked, looking at the man's movements.
This started just now, and I said I was reading a book, but I didn’t even turn a few pages of the book.
"Have you forgotten what she said?" Chi Si said, turning the pages of the book.
Heng Li remembered the threatening look when Mu Qian came to see Chi Si the day before yesterday. It seemed that Miss Mu Qian was really lively most of the time.
But this idea is really quite confusing.
"It's almost time..." The man looked up at the bright moon and said suddenly.
It was quiet inside Tingyu Pavilion. The breeze stirred the two dense pear trees in the courtyard, and the shadows on the ground were intertwined and the shades of the trees were mottled.
A slender figure opened the glass door and walked in.
The room was quiet, Mo Yun sat on the sofa and took a nap, and Yun Yuwei, who was watching over the bed, also fell asleep on the recliner.
A few cicadas chirped outside the window from time to time, but the subtle sound did not disturb the sleepiness of the people in the room at all.
Seeing this, the visitor went straight to the study next to the bedroom.
The study was neatly tidied and she didn't even need to search carefully. She looked up and saw the paintings hanging on the wall.
The woman gently cut her finger and put it on after seeing the blood. The red color instantly filled the entire painting, as if something was about to burst out of her body.
Upon seeing this, she immediately took out a white porcelain bottle, pointed it at the object in the painting, and chanted a few spells.
A black mist slowly flew out of the painting, flew around the study room for a few times, and then fell steadily into the bottle.
All this was done quietly, without disturbing the few people who were still sleeping soundly.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and was about to leave, but was bounced back as soon as she reached the door.
She took two steps back and then stretched out her hand in surprise. As soon as she reached out, she encountered the blocked spiritual energy and was bounced back.
The woman suddenly became panicked.
The man on the bed slightly curled his lips, and suddenly his fingertips moved slightly, and two tiny rays of light fell into the noses of Mo Yun and Yun Yuwei, who were still sleeping soundly.
The two people who were suddenly awakened from their dreams opened their eyes and naturally discovered the uninvited guest in the house as quickly as possible.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Mo Yun shouted in surprise.
Yun Yuwei walked out and saw the person trapped in the study. The faint aura on the door made her realize that things were not simple.
"Go and ask grandpa to come over." Yun Yuwei ordered.
After reacting, Mo Yun hurriedly stood up and heard Yun Yuwei's next words as soon as he reached the door.
"And Chi Si!"
At the same time, the people on the bed slowly woke up. Mu Qian sat on the bed and stared at the people in the study. She suddenly smiled.
Sure enough, it only works if you make a big noise, otherwise it will be innocuous and the problem will never be solved.
"Wake up, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Yun Yuwei was surprised and checked the condition of the person on the bed.
Mo Yun's notice was very fast, and within ten minutes everyone from the Yun family and Chi Si arrived.
A group of people stared at the people trapped in the study. This was a binding spell, and the entire study became a cage.
"What's going on?" Nan Su stared at the woman locked in the study.
At this point, where did this person come from?
Either she is the one who harmed Mu Qian, or at least she has a certain relationship, otherwise it would be impossible for her to appear here at this time.
"But who planted this technique?" Mr. Yun looked at Chi Si.
Mu Qian was helped up from the bed and walked out, her face still pale to the naked eye.
"I planted it," Chi Si replied, "I originally thought of it as an extra layer of insurance, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected harvest."
Mu Qian was helped to sit next to the old man. She said nothing but nodded slightly to Chi Si.
This man is quite trustworthy and didn't meddle in other people's business this time, which is great.
Chi Si raised his hand, and the bottle that had been hidden behind the woman broke free from her hand and flew directly into his palm.
The contents in the bottle shook even more violently due to this excitement.
"Incubus." He started to say.
After listening to Chi Si's words, Yun Zaichun understood that the Nightmare Spirit was the top type of demon spirit.
It's similar to the ostrich, but more difficult to deal with than the ostrich.
Nightmares have no form and are difficult to restrain. They move in the form of possessed objects and make a living by devouring people's spiritual energy. When the devoured spiritual energy reaches a certain level, they can cultivate their bodies.
When it possesses a character, it will completely change its aura and blend with the other person, making it difficult to track.
Following Chi Si's movements, several people standing around him smelled the strong fragrance of ink.
Mu Qian has been mixing this paint these days.
Thinking of this, Yun Yu looked at the painting hanging in the study room slightly, "Could it be that this thing is covering my painting?"
That's why it has such a strong flavor.
"Qianqian has also been mentally ill since the day I started repairing your paintings." Yun Jinghang continued.
Yun Jingyu nodded in agreement, "So, it's not uncommon for some evil spirits to be hidden in ancient paintings."
The older something is, the higher the possibility of being contaminated by these.
If this nightmare spirit came with Yun Yuwei's painting, it would make sense.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Chi Si said and sat down on the sofa next to Mr. Yun.
Yun Zaichun nodded, "I'm afraid that this nightmare spirit is not naturally attached, but brought by man. Otherwise, this person wouldn't take the risk to recover it."
As he spoke, everyone looked at the woman who was still shivering in the study.
Mo Yun kept staring for a long time, and then shouted the last sentence.
"You're the kitchen guy!"
She said that this person looked familiar. He was a newcomer to Yun's kitchen just last month, and he was responsible for helping the chef.
She had seen this woman several times when she went to the kitchen. She was in her early thirties, and her appearance was not very outstanding, so she was not very eye-catching.
Yun Yuwei reacted and walked to the door of the study, "You hurt Qian Qian, why did you do this?"
After doing this for a long time, she turned out to be the fault of her own family. Of course she was angry.
Mu Qian looked at Yun Yuwei and said in a moderate voice, "I just returned to Yun's house not long ago. I haven't even been to the kitchen, let alone had a grudge with her. She did nothing to me for no reason."
So, there must be someone behind this person.
Chi Si looked at her weak look and gently flicked the ring on her index finger. This person was really good at acting...
