Ji Yunxi did not hide the matter of the spirit exchange from Madam Ji.
She knew better than anyone else that Madam Ji’s hatred for Ji Luo was almost crazy. If she didn’t make it clear, Shen Yijia might be killed by Madam Ji if she wasn’t careful.
It was better to say it to reassure her and avoid unnecessary trouble.
Before today, Ji Yunxi actually could not understand where Madam Ji’s hatred for Ji Luo came from. She even found it inexplicable most of the time.
It was not until she saw the flower bud on Shen Yijia’s forehead that she understood.
Perhaps it was because no matter how hard she tried, she could not obtain it, but the other party had it since she was born. However, she felt that the other party was inferior to her in every way.
As time passed, this hatred took root and sprouted.
Until it became distorted.
Fortunately, Shen Yijia had already fallen into her hands. It wouldn’t be long before everything ended. At least she wouldn’t become like Madam Ji.
“Young Master, MO Tong is back.” MO Yu’s voice pulled Ji Yunxi back from her thoughts.
“Let her in,” she said flatly.
MO Tong walked in and knelt down.
Ji Yunxi raised her head slightly and asked, “You didn’t catch anyone?”
MO Tong lowered his eyes. “We searched the Misty Forest but couldn’t find Song Jingchen. It’s MO Tong’s fault for being incompetent. Young Master, please punish us.”
“Without our people leading the way, it’s impossible for outsiders to leave the Misty Forest.” Ji Yunxi frowned and thought of Shen Yijia. She said conservatively, “Take someone to guard the exit of the Misty Forest. I don’t want any accidents to happen in the next three days.”
When she completed the spirit exchange, Song Jingchen would be nothing!
She waved MO Tong away.
“Yes.”
After they left, MO Yu hesitated for a moment and said, “Young Master, can’t you do a divination?”
Ji Yunxi shook her head. “It’s useless with Shen Yijia around.”
The so-called variable made it so that anything was possible before a conclusion was reached.
Moreover, Shen Yijia was not the only one involved in the spirit exchange. She was also involved. Doctors did not treat themselves, and warlocks could not tell fortunes for themselves.
The only thing she could do was to prevent anything from happening.
After some thought, she took out a porcelain bottle and threw it to MO Yu.
“Feed it to her.”
MO Yu lowered his head in agreement.
In the house, Shen Yijia was still in the same position as when she left. MO Yu looked at her for a long time. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he walked forward, opened the porcelain bottle, and poured the entire bottle of medicine into her mouth.
“Go to sleep. When you wake up, it’ll be over,” she said faintly.
It meant that she would never wake up again.
Shen Yijia closed her eyes obediently.
MO Yu raised the candlestick and left. The room fell into darkness again.
At night, the heavy rain came unexpectedly. The bean-sized raindrops hit the ground with a crackling sound, and the entire Valley of Heavenly Secrets was enveloped in the rain.
A bolt of lightning tore through the sky, bringing with it a short period of light. The person who was lying quietly on the couch suddenly opened her eyes and quickly raised her chin again.
It was said that spring rain was as expensive as oil, but this rain lasted for three days.
There was a limit to everything. Going overboard was as bad as falling short.
The seeds that had just been planted were all destroyed by this rain, but no one cared about this loss.
It was because at some point, blood tears flowed down from the divine tablet in the priest’s hall. The blood flowed down the stamen of the spider lily and dyed the entire divine tablet red. Even the heavy rain could not dilute it.
Everyone was shocked. This was a great omen.
Everyone in the valley more or less knew some divination techniques. It depended on their comprehension.
They were always suspicious of prying into the secrets of the heavens.
The inevitability of fate was simple, and karma was not fake. Everything had its own karma. If one went against the heavens and forcefully interfered to change karma, they would definitely attract an unexpected calamity.
In the past, with the spiritual spring suppressing them, everyone could live without illness or disaster. However, ever since the previous Valley Master defected, the spiritual spring had long dried up.
The four Elders and their clansmen gathered in the priest hall.
As everyone was discussing, the door of the priest hall opened.
Ji Yunxi and Si Yun slowly walked out.
In an instant, everyone fell silent and bowed. “Priest, Young Master.”
“I believe everyone has seen the blood of the divine tablet.” Si Yun’s tone was heavy as he looked at the strange stone wall with a pained expression.
“We’re here for this matter. Do you know why the divine tablet suddenly became like this, Priest?” The Second Elder was the first to ask.
Si Yun shook her head and looked at the pale Ji Yunxi..
