"I know I might be a little nosy..."
"But I think since you agreed to let Butler He go to Tongqing Temple, you must have been mentally prepared for this."
According to the general process, after the mages exorcised He Qinfeng's evil spirits, their task was actually completed.
However, Pei Wende is not an ordinary mage, and Tongqing Temple has never been a profit-making organization that takes people's money and eliminates disasters.
No matter who came down the mountain this time, it is absolutely impossible to let go of the "source" that caused this evil incident.
In fact, this was the reason why He Yuanwai's family didn't let Butler He go up the mountain to Tongqing Temple for help until they had no other choice.
"Besides, if I read correctly, this room is not actually your son's room, right?"
Pei Wende was not just talking nonsense. As early as when he first entered this house, he realized that this house could not be He Qinfeng's room.
Or to be more precise, this house is not just He Qinfeng's room.
The dressing table and rouge and gouache that had been tidied up but were still retained were obviously things that only women could use.
Pei Wende does not deny that many men in this era also use this thing.
But combined with the fact that He Qinfeng still misses "Ning'er" even if he is possessed by evil spirits, he is almost certain that there is a female member of the He family who has not yet appeared.
That female member is most likely He Qinfeng's wife, one of the mistresses of the family.
"What the little mage said is true."
After hesitating for a long time, He Yuanwai finally spoke the truth.
Because he knew that Pei Wende had said so, he would definitely get to the bottom of it.
"If the little mage really wants to see Ning'er, I'll just take you to see her."
Member He, who looked slightly depressed, glanced at his son inside the room, and then said to Pei Wende very solemnly.
"But things are not as the little mage imagined. You will know when you see her..."

Outside Hejiabao, in a farmer's home.
Red Fox, who had been sent out by Pei Wende to find out the news, was now sitting peacefully in the farmer's home.
The original owner of the farmer's house stood in front of him respectfully, and even his wife, children and children were watching outside very respectfully.
For Red Fox, who is proficient in the art of charm, it is no problem to charm a few mortals.
After all, ordinary mortals are not freaks like Hui Ji and Pei Wende, and they cannot resist the charm of fox monsters and ghosts.
It is no exaggeration to boast that Red Fox feels that even ordinary practitioners may not be able to escape the control of his charm technique.
Red Fox has been traveling around for so many years, so she can't guarantee anything else, but she is still very confident in the charm and escape skills that she relies on to survive.
"Tell me, why is He Qinfeng not the first person to be possessed by evil spirits?"
Looking at the farmer in front of him in surprise, Red Fox, who originally didn't have high hopes, felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
"Yes, He Qinfeng is not the first person to be possessed by evil spirits..."
The dull-faced farmer spoke softly. Suffering from the spell of charm, he told almost everything he knew without reservation.
"The first person to be possessed was He Qinfeng's wife, Asano Ningzi."
Squinting his eyes slightly, Red Fox did not interrupt the farmer's story, but firmly remembered the name "Asano Ningzi", which was obviously not from the Tang Dynasty.
"Ningko Asano is a woman from Japan. I heard that she came here because of the suffering."
"After being treated by the He family, she fell in love with He Qinfeng and then became the He family's wife."
When he said this, even the farmer who was controlled by the charm showed rare envy and resentment in his tone.
I am envious because Asano Ningzi is indeed very beautiful, and what kind of shitty luck that boy He Qinfeng had to be able to marry such a beautiful woman.
He was resentful because it was the arrival of Asano Ningzi that broke the original tranquility of Hejiabao and allowed evil spirits to appear in the villages and towns.
"Let's talk about the key point, how did Asano Ningzi become possessed."
Red Fox doesn't want to know the psychological process of a farmer. She is more concerned about when and how Asano Ningzi became possessed.
"How she became possessed, I don't know."
After being interrupted by Red Fox, the mentally controlled farmer immediately continued to explain with a look of fear on his face.
"I just don't know since when, people started to die inexplicably in the village, and all of them were women..."
"The first ones who died were some refugees outside the village, then the family members of traveling merchants who occasionally passed through here, and finally even us in Hejiabao began to die..."
"And the death of these people is extremely miserable. Each deceased person will lose part of his facial features."
"Eyes, nose, tongue, ears, face, even skull..."
"So the elders in the village said that this could never be done by humans, but that something evil had lurked into our village."
"As the only outsider, Asano Ningzi was the first to become a target of suspicion."
"Then according to our subsequent investigation, we found that Asano Ningzi did bring evil spirits - human facial sores..."
"According to an unknown mage passing by, this is a special kind of ghost that parasitizes the human body."
"On weekdays, they will hide on the host's body, and then at night they will sneak out to kill people, and plunder part of the facial features of those killed to make themselves more beautiful and beautiful."
"We spent a lot of effort to seal it with the help of the unknown mage."
In his words, the farmer showed a rare fear.
This is a kind of fear that comes from the heart and cannot be shaken off even if he is mentally controlled by the charm technique. This shows what a terrifying impression the original facial sores left on him.
"What we never expected was that after the human facial sore was sealed, a second human facial sore actually appeared."
Hearing this, even Red Fox, who had not experienced that scene, understood that the second human facial sore undoubtedly referred to He Qinfeng.
In this way, Red Fox seemed to be able to understand why the villagers showed fear when he and his party first entered the village.
Because if facial sores are really contagious, a little carelessness will lead to a crisis that destroys villages and kills people.
In comparison, He Yuanwai, who wholeheartedly protects his son, is a well-deserved "bad guy" in the eyes of the villagers no matter where he stands.
It was probably because of He Yuanwai's prestige and threats that the villagers did not deal with He Qinfeng like they dealt with Asano Ningzi.
"Then let me ask you another question..."
"The first human-faced sore that was sealed, or the Japanese woman called 'Ningko Asano', what happened to her in the end?"
