The girl in front of her was a few years younger than her, with a cold sword intent hidden deep in her slender body.
No matter what she said, her expression never changed, as if she had... known it for a long time.
Feng Xi opened his mouth and stood up under Lu Yun's too calm but stressful gaze.
Her knees hurt, but she didn't care. Instead, she raised her hand and touched the flower on her bun. She heard Lu Yun's words.
"If you want to show weakness, you don't have to torture your body."
Lu Yun took a step forward and spoke as if he had casually spoken. Feng Xi, who was lagging behind, stiffened up and his face was filled with fear.
After a long time, she pressed her lips tightly and followed him, her face returning to a cold expression. Only her fingers hidden in her sleeves trembled, showing her nervousness.
Today's Feng Xi's face is too ugly, as if he is seriously ill. Yesterday, when we saw him, his face was normal.
Lu Yun clearly felt that the other party was not sick, but there was a medicinal fragrance on her body, which was very light and made people uncomfortable.
She should probably thank her third senior brother for forcing herself to know some medicinal materials for ten years.
In Baiyao's words, she may not be able to save people or make elixirs, but she cannot not even know that people want to use elixirs to harm her.
Feng Xi's medicine was used to damage the body, and the residual fragrance showed that she had just taken it.
Lu Yun can understand that the other party wants to put himself in a weak position to win her sympathy and get her help.
"Why don't you find my senior brother?"
With her senior brother's character, if a beautiful woman came to ask for help, she would definitely agree without saying a word.
"He... was bewitched."
Feng Xi responded softly, carefully looking at Lu Yun's expression, and relaxed a little after finding that the other party was not angry.
The trick was discovered, but it turned out to be successful.
She was a little annoyed. The person in front of her seemed to have a pair of eyes that could see into people's hearts. Every time they looked at each other, she felt that she couldn't hide her little thoughts at all.
Are all the sect disciples as scary as her?
"Bewitched?"
Lu Yun burst out laughing: "My senior brother has always been able to seduce others, and it's just a matter of charm."
Perhaps Lu Yun's tone was too ordinary, so Feng Xi became a little bolder, half a step behind Lu Yun, and cast a curious look.
Lu Yun didn't answer, but raised his head to signal her to look not far away.
Over there, on top of the pool, lotus leaves border each other, and the water surface creates waves.
In the octagonal vermilion pavilion on the shore, there is a man and a woman very close to each other. The man in flamboyant red clothes is raising his hand to touch the woman's cheek, his gesture is particularly intimate.
Because of the angle, they couldn't see their faces clearly, but Feng Xi could tell that the woman was her sister and the man was Ji Hongxi.
Feng Xi was stunned for a while, then became worried.
Lu Yun didn't stop and walked over with someone. The real situation was not as complicated as Feng Xi thought.
Feng Rao's eyes were red, she had just cried, and now she was like a weak little rabbit, leaning on Ji Hongxi, while Ji Hongxi was holding a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Feng Xi's worries were alleviated without any overstepping actions.
"Sister, Mr. Ji promised to save his mother. I, I have told Mr. Ji everything. Mr. Ji is really a good man. He has not been deceived."
After saying all these words, Feng Xi was helpless.
She was still testing Lu Yun, and her sister had already wiped out all her money.
Ji Hongxi didn't care about Feng Xi's fear. He just gave Lu Yun a proud expression, and his seductive eyes made people feel trance-like.
She sat next to Ji Hongxi and listened to the complete story.
Half a year ago, after Mrs. Feng came back from an outing, her physical condition worsened. She was lethargic and taciturn. Many times, she seemed to have lost her memory and could not recognize them.
At first, they thought Mrs. Feng was ill, so they felt at ease with her and didn't think much about it.
During this interaction, Mrs. Feng seemed to remember the past little by little and became more and more familiar with them.
For a while, the other person was in great spirits and not lethargic.
It was also during that time that Feng Shao, as the elder brother, discovered that something was wrong with his mother.
The other party always left the Feng family in the middle of the night. Occasionally, Mrs. Feng still had a strong smell of blood on her body.
Feng Shao told his two sisters about this, and the three of them decided to ask for details. The three of them were supposed to go together that day, but some things were delayed, causing Feng Shao to face Mrs. Feng alone.
When Feng Xi and Feng Rao saw Feng Shao again, they found that Feng Shao had forgotten what happened before.
From that day on, Feng Shao was completely obedient to Mrs. Feng. That kind of emotion even transcended the love between mother and child, but it was not pure love.
It's more like being bewitched by some monster.
Feng Shao forgot the agreement he made with his sister, but Feng Xi concluded that there was something wrong with his mother.
No, in Feng Xi's words, that's not their mother.
It was a monster, a monster that had taken over their mother's body, and this monster was trying to take control of the entire Feng family.
When she figured it out, she realized that the two most important men in the Feng family were already in Mrs. Feng's possession.
Not only that, every male in Feng Mansion who has seen Mrs. Feng is not obsessed with her.
Feng Xi had no choice but to disperse the servants in the back house.
And she also knew that the monster would attack them soon.
And that's exactly what happened.
Feng Xi still remembers that night. When she was half asleep, she realized that someone was in the house. When she took action, she realized that the person was her father.
But at that time, her father was unconscious and attacked her regardless, as if he was being manipulated.
With Feng Kuan's cultivation, Feng Xi was no match at all. She was ravaged like a rag doll. When she was about to die, Feng Rao appeared and helped her block a move, but she was seriously injured and dying.
Her sister's blood dyed Feng Xi's body red, and also dyed her eyes red.
She shouted her father's name almost desperately, hoping that he would wake up.
Perhaps the father and daughter were connected. The moment Feng Kuan woke up, that was the moment, Feng Kuan knocked out Mrs. Feng who had been hiding outside the house.
After Mrs. Feng fainted, Feng Kuan withdrew from that strange state, but did not remember what had just happened, but still protected Mrs. Feng.
Feng Xi had no choice but to make up nonsense and say that there was an enemy attack at night.
"fortunately……"
Feng Xi's voice has become hoarse: "Fortunately, since that day, the monster has always fallen asleep intermittently, and the situation has become more and more serious recently."
Their bodies were trembling, and they were hugged by Feng Rao. The two sisters were like people lost in the wind and snow, relying on each other's body temperature to stay warm.
But that illusory warmth eventually breaks.
Feng Xi closed her eyes and told her last secret.
"Every time that monster wakes up, I feel that she is getting stronger and stronger. The last time she woke up, she pretended to be what my mother used to be to deceive my sister and me."
If she hadn't been careful, she would have been tricked long ago.
