Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mrs. Ye Sr. directed Meng Fu to lead a group to search Ye Nanshen’s quarter. Many servants, not necessarily against Ye Nanshen and Rong Qi, joined voluntarily, aiming to catch the evil entity.
However, as they were about to head to Ye Nanshen’s quarter, they encountered Ye Nanshen, Rong Qi, and Old Master Ye.
The crowd gasped and instinctively stepped back, avoiding eye contact.
Mrs. Ye Sr., gathering courage upon seeing Old Master Ye, informed him, “Master Crescent has located the source of our recent troubles. We are about to search.”
Old Master Ye, with a cold expression, interrogated, “So, you think this ‘evil entity’ is in Nanshen’s quarter?”
“Yes.” Mrs. Ye Sr. replied.
“Oh?” Old Master Ye looked at Crescent skeptically. “A few gestures and you know there’s evil there?”
Crescent, unfazed, replied, “This is a sacred Buddhist ritual. You may not understand, but I’ve never been wrong. Whether you believe it or not, a search will reveal the truth.”
As the search seemed inevitable, Mrs. Ye Sr., eager to find the source, commanded, “Search! We must find it today!”
Ye Nanshen, with a frosty demeanor and a slight smirk, warned, “Stop, if you wish to live.”
The servants hid behind Mrs. Ye Sr., too scared to move.
Madam Liu, gathering courage from somewhere, accused loudly, “Are you trying to stop us from finding the evil entity, or do you already know where it is and want to keep it hidden?”
Ye Nanshen’s eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing, “Who do you think you are to enter my quarter?”
Madam Liu clenched her fists, feeling insulted by Ye Nanshen’s public rebuke.
Determined, Madam Liu turned to Old Master Ye, “I know you cherish Nanshen, but if we don’t find this thing, it will only harm his reputation. So, even if it offends him, I must search for it!”
Madam Liu’s words implied the evil entity was definitely in Ye Nanshen’s quarter, positioning herself on a moral high ground.
It was then Rong Qi spoke, her voice cold and mocking, “What if you don’t find anything?”
“It’s impossible not to find it!” Crescent asserted confidently.
Rong Qi raised an eyebrow, challenging Madam Liu and Mrs. Ye Sr.
“If I can’t find it, I’ll apologize to you,” said Madam Liu.
“Just apologize?” Rong Qi asked.
“What else do you want?” Madam Liu gritted her teeth.
Rong Qi smirked. “You’ll know after you’re done with your search? You only need to give me your word in front of everyone here. As long as you can’t find it, you’ll be at my disposal. What do you say?”
Rong Qi’s provocative words instantly made Madam Liu angry.
However, Madam Liu knew that Rong Qi had always been cunning. She was worried that she had some scheme, so she turned to look at Crescent.
After seeing Master Crescent’s nod, Madam Liu gritted her teeth and said, “Fine! If nothing is found, I’ll let you do as you please.. Let’s go search!”
