Chapter 498: Chapter 497: Yes, I Did It

The elderly woman and others watched in stunned silence, which further confirmed the master’s prowess.

Mr. Liu commented, unsurprised, "This person’s fate is still lacking a bit, unable to quell the resentment of the wronged soul."

The elderly woman and others were disappointed with this outcome.

After all, Xi Shu was now working well and earning money; they often managed to demand money under the pretext of the youngest needing medical care. It would be a pity if she died.

However, when it came to the life of their grandson/son, they had no choice but to endure the pain.

The elderly woman pointed at Xi Shu, "Then let’s use her to perform the rites."

Mr. Liu nodded and threw another talisman from the table, which flew to the top of Xi Shu’s head.

This time the talisman did not act naturally; instead, it fell straight onto Xi Shu’s forehead and stuck there.

Another talisman also stuck to the forehead of a young man.

Mr. Liu picked up a bell and chanted spells while ringing it. Then, using a talisman pen soaked in vermillion, he approached the young man and began to draw on the talisman.

After completing the drawing, he walked over to Xi Shu.

But this time, just as he was about to place the talisman pen on the talisman on Xi Shu’s forehead, he couldn’t get the ink to mark.

Mr. Liu paused, went back to dip the pen in vermillion again, and tried once more, but still failed.

That’s when he sensed something was wrong and looked closely at the talisman.

Suddenly, a streak of evil spirit flew out of the talisman and burrowed straight into his brow.

"Ah!" Mr. Liu screamed in pain from his forehead and staggered back several steps.

Then, clutching his forehead, he cautiously looked around the courtyard.

With a stern face, he yelled, "Who is it? Come out!"

The talisman had just been drawn by Mr. Liu and was set on the table by Aunt Xi Shu; thus, it could not have been switched by anyone.

This implied someone in the courtyard had interfered.

Hearing Mr. Liu’s shout, Aunt Xi Shu immediately ran to turn on the courtyard lights.

Luo Ning no longer hid; she jumped down from the big tree.

Seeing Luo Ning jump down, and recognizing her appearance, the elderly woman couldn’t help but cry out in shock, "How could it be you?"

Mr. Liu also cried out in surprise, "How is it you?"

Clearly, he was also surprised to see Luo Ning there.

Luo Ning walked toward them. "Why couldn’t it be me?"

She cast a cold glance at the elderly woman, "You really are ruthless, even willing to harm your own granddaughter."

Luo Ning waved her hand, removing the spells that had been cast on Xi Shu and Wuniu.

Both quickly regained consciousness and sat up.

The two were conscious under Mr. Liu’s spell but were unable to open their eyes and wake up.

Thus, they had heard everything that had happened and were filled with fear, despair, and dread.

And it was these emotions and reactions that Mr. Liu needed to facilitate his rituals.

Xi Shu hadn’t expected Luo Ning to appear there; she looked at Luo Ning, her eyes reddening and heart warming.

"Ningning."

Luo Ning’s presence in the courtyard was undoubtedly for her.

She was touched, Luo Ning was also her best friend.

Luo Ning said to her, "We are here."

Then she called out, "Come in."

Upon hearing Luo Ning’s call, Huo Rui and his brother, who had been waiting at the entrance, immediately kicked open the courtyard gate and walked in.

Xi Shu was surprised to see Huo Rui and his brother; tears fell directly from her eyes.

"Huo Rui, why are you here too?" She didn’t expect her boyfriend to show up as well, an indescribable feeling arose in her heart, sweet happiness mixed with heaviness.

Huo Rui gave her a reassuring smile and said tenderly, "I couldn’t stop worrying about you, so I came over."

He then walked over to help Xi Shu up.

The old lady immediately instructed her son and son-in-law, "Quick, stop them! Don’t ruin the master’s procedure."

The two also reacted and rushed to block Huo Rui and his brother.

But they were quickly knocked down to the ground by Huo Ye.

Huo Rui and his brother were of Huo Family’s direct lineage, trained from a young age, naturally not afraid of the two men.

Huo Rui successfully reached Xi Shu’s side and helped her up.

Seeing this, the old lady lunged towards them, only to be kicked down by Huo Rui, "Get lost!"

Kicking such a malicious old lady, he felt no psychological burden at all.

Xi Shu’s legs were a bit weak, she stabilized herself by leaning on Huo Rui.

She then asked Huo Ye, "Please help my sister up too."

Huo Ye nodded, went over, and helped up Wuniu, who was also quite weak.

The four of them then moved towards Luo Ning.

Seeing Xi Shu being helped away, the old lady shouted at her daughter, "Don’t just stand there, go capture them!"

Aunt Xi Shu could only reluctantly comply, followed by her two children.

However, Huo Ye, supporting Wuniu, easily kicked the three to the ground.

Luo Ning said to Huo Rui and his brother, "Let’s help them sit and rest at the flower bed over there for a while."

Huo Rui also noticed his girlfriend was very weak, "Okay!"

The old lady immediately got up and, this time wisely, didn’t go herself but turned to Mr. Liu for help.

"Master, they’ve disrupted your procedure, you can’t let them off." After speaking, she glared at Luo Ning.

She didn’t expect that Xi Shu’s colleagues, who came during the day, could actually find this place.

This was a courtyard bought by her daughter and son-in-law, besides their couple and the eldest two, even the second son and the third son didn’t know, let alone the fourth family.

Thus, she couldn’t fathom how Luo Ning and the others knew about this place.

Mr. Liu looked darkly at Luo Ning, "Your power has grown stronger."

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, "Likewise, I thought you were a goner, but it turns out you’re tough as a cockroach."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu’s face was full of hatred.

"If it weren’t for you, my Liu Family wouldn’t have fallen into disarray, and I wouldn’t have been badly hurt and fled to the Southern Ocean."

His body was fine now, and he was much stronger than before, but it indeed came at a great cost.

And once something went wrong, the backlash he would suffer would be even greater.

He considered Luo Ning the main culprit for all this.

Luo Ning scoffed, "This is the retribution your Liu Family received for stealing others’ Luck; it has nothing to do with me."

Her gaze swept over Cousin Xi Shu, whose skin was festering on the ground, then she said to Mr. Liu, "The resentment on this man, you orchestrated that, didn’t you?"

After being pointed out, Mr. Liu didn’t bother to refute, "Correct, it was my doing."

He was somewhat curious, "But do you know how I did it?"

Seeing the condition of Cousin Xi Shu, Luo Ning understood what had happened.

"You had him together with a dead woman, and they even shared a room; naturally, he would be engulfed by yin and resentment."

"The so-called procedure you claimed to be saving him, was nothing but an attempt to transfer the healthy life from Xi Shu onto him to extend his life."

"Only a small part is for him, most of it would still be siphoned by you."

"So even if the procedure was successfully performed today, he wouldn’t live long."

She looked at the old lady and her group with a hint of irony, "It’s just a pity that these fools not only don’t know you’re the murderer, but they also brought the victim here for you to manipulate."
