Chapter 74 - Removing the Baleful Qi in the House

Chapter 74: Removing the Baleful Qi in the House

When the car drove out, the sun was already setting. Li Yan took off his mask, revealing his cold face.

Qin Ming, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was reporting to him.

“There were 15 batches of people here today. A few batches were from ‘Blood Termination,’ and there were also people from Thunder Gate, the Tang Sect, and America’s XX organization…”

Chu Luo didn’t know anything about these sects and clans. She listened casually, but she couldn’t help but complain in her heart: This man’s enemies actually spanned the entire world!

As the car drove into the city, Chu Luo quickly said, “Send me to the old district.”

Li Yan tilted his head to look at her.

Chu Luo smiled at him and narrowed her eyes. “The manager said that I can get the property deed today. From now on, that house will be mine.”

Li Yan was silent for a few seconds before asking, “Are you going to stay there directly?”

“Mm? What else?”

Li Yan looked at her ignorant expression and turned to the chauffeur. “Let’s go to the old district.”

After saying that, he said to Qin Ming, “Send someone to clean up.”

“Yes,” Qin Ming responded and immediately went to make a call.

Chu Luo looked at him in confusion.

Li Yan didn’t say anything.

When the car arrived outside the house, the sky had already darkened.

The gate of the courtyard was wide open at this moment, and it was brightly lit inside. Chu Luo let out a surprised “Eh.” “Could it be that Mr. Wu’s family hasn’t moved away yet?”

At the thought of this, she suddenly felt a little awkward, unsure if she should go in or not.

Li Yan glanced at her conflicted face and gestured. “Get off.”

Chu Luo alighted from the car and heard the sound of someone getting off behind her.

Chu Luo turned around.

Li Yan actually didn’t say anything and walked in.

“Hey…” Chu Luo didn’t have the time to stop him. Seeing that he had already entered, she followed him.

She walked past the front yard and entered the backyard’s hall. The red-painted wooden square table beside her was already filled with steaming hot food. Beside the door stood several men in black suits.

Chu Luo glanced at them before shifting her gaze to Li Yan.

She finally knew what he had asked Qin Ming to clean on the way. Gratitude appeared in her eyes.

“I forgot that I don’t have anyone to cook for me here.”

Li Yan looked at her with his dark eyes, certain that this little thing didn’t do any chores in her everyday life.

He said in an icy tone, “I’ll leave a few people here for a few days.”

“Okay.” Chu Luo looked at him and nodded. At the same time, she complained in her heart,?‘You’re so kind-hearted yet appear so cold. No wonder you don’t have friends!’

Li Yan left after dinner.

Chu Luo slipped into the front and back courtyard to take a closer look.

Although the courtyard wasn’t big, it was complete with a small bridge over a flowing stream, artificial mountains, flowers, and pebbled pavements inside.

On both sides of the front yard was a long corridor with a grapevine beside it. The previous owner of the house had set up a rack between the long corridor and the courtyard wall. The grapevines climbed up nicely, and they were lush and leafy. Coupled with a bunch of immature green grapes, it was a very pleasing sight.

There was also a small lotus pond in the backyard. Beside the lotus pond was an octagonal pavilion that was small and exquisite. In the middle of the pavilion were a stone table and stool. It was just perfect for sitting inside and studying.

After Chu Luo finished looking at the entire residence, she called over the few people Li Yan had left behind and said, “There’s nothing else to do now. You guys can go find a guest room to rest.”

She added, “Don’t come out at night.”

“Yes.”

These people didn’t ask anything and didn’t look surprised. After responding, one of them said to her, “Miss Chu, your bedroom is on the second floor. I’ve already changed your bedding inside.”

After saying that, he went to the guest rooms with the others.

Once the others had left, Chu Luo quickly walked towards the front yard. As she walked, she said to Phoenix, “Phoenix, set up the barrier.”

With a golden flash, the entire courtyard was enveloped by a barrier.

Chu Luo walked beneath the grapevine in the front yard and searched for a while at the tree root. Finally, she sneered and said, “An ugly thing attached to an old tree root actually dares to harm the occupants of this house. Something was even placed underground to harm people. Who gave you such guts?”

The grape tree was quiet, as if there was nothing on it.

“Pfft! Pretending to be dead? I’ve seen many demons and ghosts. A mere little ghost dares to cause trouble in this residence? Then don’t blame me for being impolite.”

After saying that, she quickly took out a talisman and slapped it on the tree root.

In the next moment, the entire grapevine trembled as if it was in the middle of an earthquake.

The grape leaves and the unripe grapes fell down, making Chu Luo’s heart ache a little. “It’s a pity that so many grapes fell… Phoenix, pull it out.”

A golden light flashed and the thing attached to the grapevine was pulled out and thrown to the ground. It turned out to be a weasel-shaped thing with a human face.

Chu Luo snorted coldly. This thing wanted to escape as soon as it was pulled out.

Phoenix appeared and spat out a ball of flames. Amid a series of ear-piercing screeches, it was burned to ashes.

Chu Luo then went to a few other places and changed some of the decorative pots. At the same time, she set up a few small formations for the residence before going to rest.

On this night, there was lightning and thunder in the Imperial Capital, and it rained heavily.

On the other side.

At the Wei residence.

Chu Zhengyang, who had been running outside the entire day, felt uneasy. The first thing he did when he returned to the Wei residence was to see Chu Luo.

When he realized that she was gone, he went crazy and searched the entire villa.

Wei Wei sneered from behind him and said, “Maybe she felt bored staying here and ran off to play. It’s not like you don’t know. After she found out about that, she continued acting odd and…”

“Shut up!” Chu Zhengyang was anxious and furious. How could he be willing to listen to this?

Wei Wei was also angered by his shout. She pointed at his nose and shouted:

“Chu Zhengyang, who are you throwing a tantrum at now that she’s gone?! Although Tingting’s Gu worm was transferred to her, didn’t Big Brother say that he would invite Master Xiang back to transfer the Gu worm away from her?

“She has been poisoned by Gu for only a few days. She will be fine after it is cured. Tingting has injured her core now. Have you ever cared about her?

“I really wonder if Chu Luo is your brother’s daughter or if you and that vixen had a secret child!”

Pa!

“How dare you hit me again!” Wei Wei’s eyes turned red from anger.

Chu Zhengyang’s eyes turned red as well. He gritted his teeth and shouted at her, “Wei Wei, are you crazy? You won’t even let off the people who have passed away!”

“What did I say wrong?!” Wei Wei touched her numb face with one hand and wanted to scratch him with the other. She was so exasperated that she shouted back at him hysterically as if she had gone crazy.

“What did I say wrong? Back then, I gave birth at the same time as her. Why did you keep guard outside her delivery room? When I gave birth to Tingting, it was so painful that I wanted to die. You only came over to take a look and then went to guard that woman again. You still say that you didn’t have any other thoughts about her? Who are you lying to!

“Chu Zhengyang, let me tell you. I hated you and that woman to death back then. You actually made me raise her child for 18 years. Do you know how much I’ve been wanting to strangle that wretched girl to death all these years?!”

“You… you…” Chu Zhengyang glared at Wei Wei. He displayed disbelief, disappointment, and pain. In the end, his tears rolled down uncontrollably.

He let Wei Wei scratch his face a few times and said hoarsely:

“How can you be so ignorant! Back then, when Yichen and I went to the tomb, he protected me with his life. I owe him my life. Shouldn’t we take good care of his wife and child?”

At this point, Chu Zhengyang finally couldn’t continue. He started crying.

Their argument quickly alerted the Wei family’s heads.

Wei Yongchang scolded them with a dark face, “You’re both in your forties. Don’t tell me you only know how to argue when you run into trouble. Go and look for the missing child immediately.”

After saying that, he immediately called the butler over and said to him, “Go take a look at the surveillance cameras today and see if Luoluo had left the villa.”

Wei Wei’s expression changed slightly when she heard that they were going to look at the surveillance footage.

The butler quickly finished watching the surveillance cameras from today. He first glanced at Wei Wei before carefully saying to Wei Yongchang, “Master, only Missy went to see Miss Chu Luo today. Miss Chu Luo left soon after.”

Everyone looked at Wei Wei.

Wei Wei straightened her neck and said self-righteously, “I didn’t say anything. She wanted to leave herself.”

Chu Zhengyang clenched his fists and restrained himself from hitting her.

Wei Yongchang gave Wei Wei a warning look and said, “Get someone to check Luoluo’s expenses today. The child will definitely buy food when she’s hungry.”

Wei Jingcheng patted Chu Zhengyang’s shoulder and comforted him. “Zhengyang, don’t be anxious. I’ll send someone to look for Luoluo immediately. Luoluo isn’t familiar with the capital, so she shouldn’t be able to go far… Also, think about where the child will go. It’s useless for you to argue with Xiao Wei now. The most important thing is to find the child.”

Chu Zhengyang nodded at him and walked out of the door.

Once everyone had left, Wei Yongchang’s gaze turned stern. Wei Wei was frightened and tried to explain with a trembling voice, “Big Brother, I…”

“I warned you last time that you shouldn’t commit the same mistake more than thrice. If you cause trouble again, see how I’ll deal with you.”

With that, he left.

Wei Jingcheng left as well.

Standing there, even if Wei Wei felt uncomfortable, she didn’t dare to have any other thoughts.

Around the corner stood Chu Ting, who had been hiding and eavesdropping. She didn’t expect her uncle to be so biased towards Chu Luo. Her heart was filled with hatred, and just as vicious thoughts appeared in her mind, that previous terrifying feeling of being eaten by worms spread throughout her body.

Startled, Chu Ting bent down and fell to the ground. She screamed in fear, “Mommy, help!”
