Surprise! The popular villain is actually Long Aotian's wife

Manager Huo woke up instantly.

The people outside were not people that these cultivators in the mortal world who had been in a difficult situation in their cultivation all their lives could easily provoke, not to mention that the two of them were students of the First Academy.

If they had a real-life teacher above them...

Manager Huo's heart tensed up, and he immediately smiled and said, "I am also afraid that the resentful woman will harm the two immortal masters."

"How can it be disadvantageous? We are not the source of the resentment of the resentful woman." Qi Wu Yue smiled and sneered at him.

Manager Huo dared not speak angrily, "Master is right, I was wrong."

"Who told Piyang Prefecture to be so secretive? My senior brother and I know nothing about the situation. If we encounter an evil spirit, shouldn't we get rid of it?"

"Although this result has added fuel to the fire for Piyang Prefecture, we have good intentions after all, right?" Qi Wu Yue spread his hands.

"Yes, the two immortal masters have good intentions." Manager Huo's expression was indescribable, so he could only agree with him.

Qi Wu Yue smiled and said, "Of course, we are not the kind of people who will just ignore the danger. We must uphold this good intention to the end."

"I will borrow it from you, Young Master, and I will return it to you when I have calmed down. Don't you believe in us, or do you not trust the academy?"

Manager Huo just smiled apologetically and said, "Master is not here. If the young master gets into trouble at the hands of this servant, I will be too ashamed to face the master. I hope the two immortal masters will understand."

The child in red huddled behind the old man, looking at Qi Wu Yue with fear.

The original purpose of Qi Wu Yue and Xiao Lin's trip was to find the child who was the culprit of Pi Yang Prefecture.

Since Piyang Prefecture can snatch the child, why can't they?

only……

The child in red had a cowardly look on his face. He didn't look like someone who was brought up in a powerful family, nor did he look like someone who was arrogant enough to kill someone at will.

What kind of environment breeds what kind of people.

Qi Wu Yue didn't believe that the young master of the most powerful person here would be so cowardly.

And it was really far from what the little Yin spirit described.

He tugged at Xiao Lin's hand, narrowed his eyes, and said in a voice transmission: "This kid is a little fake."

He was afraid of the intimidation from the academy and dared not refuse them, but the resentful woman was too powerful, and there was no other way to suppress her except to eliminate the obsession and resentment in her heart.

In this situation, if they want to keep the dead child, it is not impossible for Piyang Prefecture to find a fake young master to deal with them.

The goddess of resentment is mentally insane, so if her appearance and aura are similar, she can be easily fooled.

Qi Wu Yue and Xiao Lin were strangers and there was no way to confirm their identities.

Xiao Lin's eyes flickered, he smiled, and said to the red-clothed kid in a gentle tone, "Since the Palace Master is in retreat, the whole Palace will naturally be led by you, the Young Master."

"The responsibility of the Piyang Prefecture throughout the ages has been to protect the mortal world and keep the people safe. This is also the meaning of the existence of the Piyang Prefecture."

"I believe your father must have taught you all this. Would you be willing to join us in eradicating the evil spirits and protecting the people in this land?"

A big hat was put on my head.

Manager Huo said hurriedly: "The young master is still young."

Xiao Lin smiled and said, "If the two of us can find a way to both save your young master and dispel the obsession of the resentful woman, it would be the best of both worlds."

Manager Huo seemed to be interested: "Master, what can you do?"

Xiao Lin uttered two words: "Fake death."

A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a small jade bottle appeared.

Xiao Lin said quietly: "I have a pill here. If you take it, you can fake the appearance of death."

Upon hearing this, Manager Huo turned his head and glanced at the child in red, but no emotion could be seen in his eyes.

Turning back, he hesitated and said, "Master, can you let me think about it? After all, this concerns the young master."

Xiao Lin said: "Of course we have to be cautious, but Manager Huo, time is running out, the resentful woman will be resurrected soon."

The old steward of Piyang Prefecture is actually the person in charge of Piyang Prefecture.

When Xiao Lin first came, he had already vaguely asked several disciples that the lord of the mansion was ill and all affairs of Piyang Mansion were handled by the old steward.

If handing over a fake item could successfully resolve the issue with the resentful woman, he would not refuse.

"I won't go!" The child in red turned pale and grabbed the corner of Manager Huo's clothes, unconsciously using all his strength with his hands.

At the moment when Manager Huo turned his head away, Qi Wu Yue silently read three words to the child.

Kill you.

"They'll kill me, I won't go!"

"What if their pills are a scam!"

The red-clothed kid shook his head frantically and stepped back, his body trembling. He pointed at Qi Wu Yue and Xiao Lin and said helplessly, "What if their pills are fake?"

"Young Master, how could the two immortal masters break their promise?"

"Young master, don't be afraid. As long as our plan is solid and we have this fake death pill in our hands, we can definitely get rid of the evil spirit and keep you safe." Butler Huo stepped forward, gently patted the back of the child in red, and comforted him.

But no matter what he said, the kid in red just gritted his teeth and shook his head frantically, looking extremely scared.

"The one who tied the bell must be the one who can untie it. Since the incident was caused by the Young Master, only the Young Master can resolve this crisis."

"If he doesn't even have the magnanimity to take responsibility for his own actions, the next heir to Piyang Prefecture will really be..." Xiao Lin shook his head, looking disappointed.

"You are unworthy of your position and make people laugh at you." Qi Wu Yue held his chin and added with a sneer.

Manager Huo's face suddenly darkened as he turned his back to the two of them, his expression intimidating without him even getting angry.

From Qi Wu Yue and Xiao Lin's perspective, they could only see the old man's broad back and his extremely loving actions.

Manager Huo sighed and rubbed the red-clothed kid's head. "In fact, before the mansion master went into seclusion, he asked this old servant to pass on a few words to the young master. I think now is the right time."

As he said this, he raised his head and looked at the other two people in the room.

Logically speaking, since the other party looked like they were about to have a secret conversation, the two outsiders should have been tactful and stepped back.

but……

Qi Wu Yue sat on a stool in the room, his elbow on the table and his head supported by one hand, squinting his eyes lazily, with no intention of getting up at all.

"This……"

Manager Huo went to see Xiao Lin again.

He felt that Xiao Lin was at least pretending to be polite, but Xiao Lin stood quietly in front of a scroll, seemingly absorbed in it, as if he had heard nothing.

Manager Huo: “…………”
