Mrs. Zhao remembered that she had told the cook that she was Ding Xiucai's mother and Shangguan Jiao was her future daughter-in-law. The cook still only gave her two bowls of vegetable porridge and refused to give her any other food.

She wanted to go to Dean Shangguan, but was told that Dean Shangguan and his wife had been away for several days and would not be back within a month.

Mrs. Zhao felt frustrated and ate a bowl of porridge with pickles in the kitchen. After eating, she brought back a bowl for Ding Zhongwen.

Although their food was far inferior to that of the academy, when Mrs. Zhao came to the academy, she looked down on the vegetable porridge with oily flowers, always feeling that such food was not worthy of her status as a scholar.

Mother Zhao and Ding Zhongwen, mother and son, fell asleep in a daze with their own thoughts.

In Qingyang Temple, one street away from the academy, Shangguan Jiao lived alone in a courtyard.

Tonight, the lights in Shangguan Jiao's room were not extinguished.

Dean Shangguan and his wife stood beside Shangguan Jiao, looking at her on the bed with distressed expressions.

Not only was Shangguan Jiao tied as tightly as a rice dumpling, her limbs were also tied to the bed posts, making her unable to move.

She made a "wuwu" sound from her mouth, and could vaguely hear the words "Itchy~ It's so itchy~ Dad and Mom, please help me~"

Mrs. Shangguan persuaded while wiping away her tears: "Jiaojiaoer, you have used muscle growth cream and your body is growing flesh. Of course you are itchy. My dear, just bear with it for three more days and you will be fine."

Dean Shangguan also said sincerely: "Jiaojiao, please bear with me. If I scratch you now, the scars will not look good in the future."

Shangguan Jiao also wanted to hold back, but now her whole body was itching unbearably. This feeling made her think that she might as well die.

Dean Shangguan was really upset when he saw Shangguan Jiao, so he couldn't help but go to Ling Xiaozi to find a solution.

He stood in front of Ling Xiaozi's door and knocked gently.

"Knock Knock~"

"Who?" Ling Xiaozi was still practicing, and asked after hearing the knock on the door and adjusting his breath.

"It's me." Dean Shangguan's voice was a little awkward.

"Come in." Ling Xiaozi waved the whisk at the door, and the wooden door opened automatically, revealing Dean Shangguan's anxious face.

"Hmph!" The first time Ling Xiaozi saw Dean Shangguan, he snorted and reprimanded: "You are so old, but you are still so uncontrollable, with everything on your face, what else can you do? ?”

Dean Shangguan quickly lowered his eyebrows and lowered his hands and said: "Father taught me that my son must pay attention in the future. It's just that Jiao Jiao'er is in extremely uncomfortable condition now, and my son feels uncomfortable watching it. I wonder if father can make her feel better?"

"Her skin is growing, itching is normal. That's all -" Ling Xiaozi sighed and took out a pill and handed it to Dean Shangguan: "Give Jiaojiao'er this pill to take and let her sleep for three days." Let’s go.”

Dean Shangguan asked: "What kind of medicine is this? How can Jiao Jiao'er sleep for three days?"

Ling Xiaozi rolled his eyes at Dean Shangguan with disgust: "Menghan medicine. Jiao Jiao'er's current condition is too uncomfortable. Only by keeping her asleep can we prevent her from hurting herself."

Dean Shangguan nodded and left quickly holding the medicine.

Ling Xiaozi looked at Dean Shangguan's leaving figure, his eyes becoming more and more determined.

"Jiao Jiao'er, the medicine is here, you won't feel uncomfortable soon." Dean Shangguan ran to Shangguan Jiao's bed and fed the pills into her mouth.

The pill melts in your mouth and flows down your throat into your stomach.But after three breaths, Shangguan Jiao closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Mrs. Shangguan was startled when she saw it and exclaimed: "Jiaojiaoer, what's wrong with you?"

Dean Shangguan put his arm around Madam's shoulders and whispered: "Jiaojiao'er is fine. She just took pills and fell asleep for three days. Three days later, when she woke up again, everything got better." Mrs. Shangguan looked sad: "How has my Jiao Jiao'er ever suffered like this? Husband, you must find the culprit and avenge my Jiao Jiao'er."

"Don't worry, Madam, dad will seek revenge on that person." Dean Shangguan hugged Madam tightly, but his eyes fell on Shangguan Jiao, with uncontrollable distress in his eyes.

Xuanjizi in the other yard did not receive such good treatment.

He wailed one after another, and no one looked at him. The Taoist boys were all wrapped in quilts and sleeping soundly with cotton stuffed in their ears, as if he was the only one in the yard.

In Xinghua Village, Ye Xi has been practicing with Ni Ge and his son for half a night.

"Chen'er, it's okay, it's time to rest." Ye Xi finished his work and said with a yawn.

Ni Chen, however, was still in the horse stance and said in good spirits: "Mother, if you are tired, take a rest first. I also want to practice some kung fu."

Ni Ge also smiled and said: "Ye Xi, you go to bed first. I will practice with Chen'er for a while."

Ye Xi was shocked: "Why do you become more energetic the more you practice the same exercises, but I get sleepier and sleepier? It's not fair."

"Ha~" Ni Ge couldn't help but chuckle, which made Ye Xi dissatisfied, glared at him and asked: "How dare you make fun of me?"

Ni Ge shook his head: "No, I didn't laugh at you. I was thinking that maybe God wanted me and Chen'er to protect you, so he asked us to become more energetic as we practiced."

Ni Chen also echoed: "Mom, let me and daddy protect you from now on, and you can rest."

"Okay, then I'll go to sleep." After Ye Xi yawned again, he could no longer resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

She muttered: "Okay, you have to practice hard, I will rely on your protection in the future."

Ni Chen stopped, climbed onto the bed and covered Ye Xi with a quilt, then jumped to the ground to continue practicing.

Ni Ge looked at Ni Chen who was in good spirits, closed his eyes with a smile, and used his mind to control the heat flowing in his body through his meridians.

It turns out that this is internal strength.It felt really comfortable, as if I was wrapped in a ball of warm water.Especially when he directed the heat flow to the broken bone, he clearly felt that the injury was being nourished, and even the pain was not that obvious.

Ni Chen felt as if there was a fire in his abdomen. The fire warmed him and made him feel like he couldn't exert himself.

Outside Xiyuan, there were more than a dozen black figures slowly approaching.

It's just that they circled Xiyuan dozens of times, but they couldn't get into the courtyard.

Finally, someone yelled impatiently: "Damn, did we meet a ghost?"

"Isn't that true? Every time I want to step into the yard, I walk to the side uncontrollably, then circle around the house and return to the gate."

"Brother, is this the legendary ghost hitting the wall?"

"Yes, this place is called a haunted house for no reason. Shall we go back?"

"When you go back, aren't you afraid that the boss will punish you?"

"Then what do you think we should do? This haunted house is very evil."

"Didn't we bring torches and bows and arrows? Light the torches and throw them into the yard. As long as one torch is thrown on the roof, everyone in the house will be finished."

"Yes, yes! We will wait here with our bows and arrows. As long as someone escapes from the house, we will shoot arrows together. Are we still afraid that he will not die?"
