Looking at the ledger, Butler Li's face became increasingly ugly. Throwing the account book on Cui Laosan's face, Butler Li sneered, "Five thousand taels of silver, you are so brave! Do you really think that the City Lord's Mansion belongs to you two?"
"Steward Li, spare your life!"
Knowing that they could no longer hide it, the two of them softened, knelt down and begged, "We are also obsessed with it and do stupid things. Please forgive us, Butler Li, for the sake of the two of us who have devoted so much to the City Lord's Mansion for so many years." This time."
The two of them were lying on the ground, saying that they knew they were wrong, but when they saw Yun Yan and Ji Changyue standing beside them, they couldn't help feeling resentful in their hearts.
They thought they were just two young kids. They wanted to get rid of this girl first and then Yun Yan, but they didn't expect that they would fall into their hands.
Just wait, wait until I fool the person named Li in the past, and then I will fool you.
Seeing the expressions on the two men's faces, Butler Li knew what they were thinking. Seeing that the two of them were in such a situation and still refused to repent, he became more and more disappointed. "No need to say more, I will report today's matter to the city lord, and you two will take care of it today." Please leave, the city lord’s palace cannot accommodate your two giant Buddhas!”
"Steward Li, we know we were wrong, please be kind and spare us!"
Seeing Butler Li coming for real, the two of them really panicked.
But Butler Li was determined to drive the two moths out, "Go now. For the sake of the past, I won't care about the five thousand taels. If you continue to struggle, I will spit out the money you swallowed today." , otherwise don’t blame me for being rude.”
"Yunyan, Changyue, you two will re-examine the old account books. If there are any, please inform me."
After that, he rolled up his sleeves and left.
"Yes." Ji Changyue and Yun Yan replied.
Seeing that it was impossible to save the situation, Cui Laosan and the other two stood up tremblingly and began to pack their things.
Seeing Ji Changyue and Yun Yan, they could only stare hatefully.
Yun Yanyun Danfengqing continued to read the account books, while Ji Changyue glanced at them and started to check the accounts.
It was her own fault. The two of them had caused what happened today. She didn't let them swallow the money. She didn't need to feel guilty.
After quietly looking at the account books all afternoon, Butler Li came again to ask questions about the account books.
At night, Ji Changyue thought about Ji Changan and walked quickly.
The footsteps behind him were slow, but they followed him not far or close.
For a moment, many monsters and monsters flashed through Ji Changyue's mind. Her palms were dripping with sweat. She comforted herself that there were so many monsters in the mortal world, and she bravely turned around.
The person behind him turned out to be Yun Yan. After breathing a sigh of relief, Ji Changyue slowed down and took the initiative to chat, "You live here too?"
Yun Yanyan answered concisely and concisely, "The rent is cheap nearby."
Ji Changyue nodded in agreement, it was indeed cheap. But it is rare for a house near the City Lord's Mansion to be as cheap as five taels of silver a month.
When Ji Chang rented the house, he thought there might be something wrong with the house, but he didn't expect it to be haunted.
How did she know?
Ji Changyue looked at the girl in white floating in front of him and gave a stiff smile.
Of course it was a female ghost who appeared in front of her!
The female ghost girl opened her eyeless eyes and looked forward. Blood flowed down her eyes and dripped on her white clothes.
The surrounding area has been buried in thick fog, and the alleyway from before cannot be seen.
If Ji Changyue hadn't seen a more terrifying resentment demon before, Ji Changyue really wouldn't have been able to keep herself from screaming.
"Let's go!" Ji Changyue pulled Yunyan's sleeve.
Yun Yan avoided her hand and put on a smile on his expressionless face all day, "My A Nuan is here to take me home."
Then, under Ji Changyue's shocked gaze, he took the ghost girl's hand, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and gently wiped away the blood and tears on the ghost girl's face.
Ji Changyue's face cracked.
"You...you know each other?"
This shock was no less than when Ji Changyue met someone from the Yunshang Immortal Sect who came to look for her at the City Lord's Mansion this morning.
"This is my fiancée Song Nuan." Yun Yan introduced Ji Changyue with a clear smile on his face, as if the ghost girl was an ordinary girl.
After hearing the introduction of herself, the ghost girl grinned at Ji Changyue. With her smile, her tongueless mouth was exposed.
"Hello, I am... Ji Changyue."
Ji Changyue pinched her arm hard, trying not to look abnormal.
Song Nuan, the daughter of Song's grocery store owner.
A year ago, the owner of Song's grocery store and his wife died suddenly, and their only daughter left Wangxian City due to grief. This is a rumor among the people.
Why did Song Nuan die and have his eyes and tongue gouged out? Why did Song Nuan die so miserably?
Ji Changyue knew what was interesting and did not ask, but the questions in her heart gradually piled up and some ideas emerged.
Miss Song Nuan only had Yun Yan in her eyes. After Yun Yan held her hand, the fog around her dispersed a little.
Ji Changyue followed the two of them, quietly listening to Yun Yan talk about what happened today, which was very different from her reticent appearance during the day.
The autumn days are cool, with a gentle breeze blowing in the evening and a light mist.
In front of the small courtyard, Ji Changan sat on the threshold, resting his chin on his hands and counting the stars in the sky in boredom.
Seeing Ji Changyue's figure, he quickly stood up from the threshold and said, "Sister, you are back."
Ji Changyue touched his head and handed him the almond cake she bought on the road, "Why are you waiting outside? It's getting cold. Be careful of catching a cold."
Ji Changan hugged the almond cake and said obediently: "I want to see my sister as soon as possible."
Ever since the incident in Jijia Village, Ji Changan has felt insecure and is often afraid that Ji Changyue will disappear like the people in the village. Ji Changyue also knows that, but has no choice but to care about him as much as possible.
Back home, Ji Changyue took out the jade pendant from under the bed.
"Sister, what are you doing with the jade pendant?" He remembered that his sister had never liked this jade pendant very much. Since the immortal master left, she had put the jade pendant away untouched.
Ji Changyue knocked his head, "Of course it's because of you."
After throwing the jade pendant to Ji Changan and finding a small jade bottle, Ji Changyue began to bleed.
"Sister!" Ji Changan pressed her hand holding the knife and began to cry, "Sister, please don't die. I won't eat almond cake anymore and will eat less. I will never drag my sister down!"
He thought Ji Changyue was going to commit suicide.
Ji Changyue opened his hand and said, "Don't worry, sister wants to live more than you do."
"real?"
"real."
Ji Changyue was helpless. Her younger brother's temperament really needed to be tempered. He was fine now. If he was still like this when he grew up, how could he take on responsibility?
Under Ji Changan's eager gaze, Ji Changyue drained a small bottle of blood.
"From now on, you can go out during the day, but you are not allowed to go out on rainy days or at night. If you see something strange, just dip the jade pendant in blood and hold it in your hand."
Ji Changyue told him carefully, thinking about changing places as soon as possible.
Although Yun Yan seemed like a good person and Song Nuan was not an evil ghost, she had to avoid them for Ji Changan's safety.
"Okay, I will listen to my sister."
Ji Changan nodded ignorantly, not knowing what the strange thing Ji Changyue was talking about.
After making arrangements for Ji Changan, Ji Changyue started to have a headache again.
After meeting people from Yunshang Xianzong in the morning, Ji Changyue wanted to get rid of the troublesome thing called the jade pendant when she came back. However, she met Song Nuan again in the evening and had to keep the jade pendant.
Ji Changyue's eyes were dull, her eyes wandering between the bed curtains, and she murmured, "Don't come back again, don't look for the jade pendant."
She originally thought that by avoiding Li Qingfeng, she would be completely free, but she never thought that the Yunshang Immortal Sect was so obsessed with a jade pendant.
What is the jade pendant? What secrets does it conceal? Why must we find it? Ji Changyue was so full of questions that her head almost exploded.
Unable to think of anything, and unable to sleep because of all the worries in his mind, Ji Changyue closed his eyes and started counting.
"One roasted fish, two roasted chickens, three roasted lambs, four roasted pigs..."
The voice gradually weakened, and in the haze, little bits of light flew through the window and slowly gathered around Ji Changyue.
Green fluorescence was flying around her. Ji Changyue wanted to reach out and touch it, but the green fluorescence escaped from her palm and quickly penetrated into her eyebrows.
One entered smoothly, and the rest rushed into her body as if they had received some call.
The gentle breath spread all over the body from the dantian, Ji Changyue's frown eased, and she fell into a drowsy state.
Suddenly, the green fluorescence in his body began to riot, rushing through his meridians. Ji Changyue groaned, with cold sweat on his forehead.
She didn't know what was going on. She gritted her teeth and tried to get up, but her legs failed and she fell to the ground weakly.
Tearing pain swept through her whole body, and finally, Ji Changyue couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.
The green fluorescence was still drilling into her body, and then rioting in her meridians. Her skin began to crack, and blood oozed faintly.
Ji Changyue's breath gradually weakened.
In the next room, the jade pendant under Ji Changan's pillow lit up with a faint light, and then quietly disappeared under the cold white moonlight.
