The door of Hong Haibin's room was tightly shut. Old Master Hong was still in his room, but I had finally come out. Being in the same room with him really made me feel depressed.

Just as I turned to take a deep breath, I saw Master Hong's wife, Su-jun, walking towards me with light footsteps.

When she saw me looking at her, she smiled and beckoned to me, and I walked on in silence. Shujun took me to the foot of the stairs and asked me what Lord Hong had said to me when I was in the house.

She was wearing a pair of Chinese pink embroidered shoes that showed off her white soles, and I was very close to her now.

She gave me a light push, and I quickly looked away. I said to her, "Master Hong only told me a little about the things he had done, but this time I was only following my master out to broaden my horizons. I also wanted him to come back to make the decision."

Shujun nodded thoughtfully. I looked down at the living room and asked her why her master didn't reply.

She had a very blissful smile on her face. She told me that she was originally bringing Sect Head Su up the mountain to take a look at Feng Shui, but when she was halfway up the mountain, she felt an unbearable pain in her waist and legs. Sect Head Su told her to come back and rest first, so as to prevent any movement of her vital qi.

"Oh, then I'll wait downstairs for my master to come back." I really didn't want to stay on the second floor any longer, so I tried to find an excuse to slip away.

A fragrant wind blew, and a pink muslin handkerchief was pressed to my forehead.

"Miss Ren, what's wrong with you? I see you're sweating. Is it because you're not feeling well? " Shujun frowned at me worriedly.

I wiped my forehead and felt the cold sweat on my hand. When I looked up, I found that the back of my neck was covered in sweat.

"Madam …" A shout came from downstairs.

Sue and I looked down and saw a fat middle-aged woman in a flowered apron calling to her.

"Ah, it's not that hot today. Why are you so hot? I'll be leaving first. If there's anything you need, ask the servant to call me."

I watched as Shujun supported herself down the stairs and followed the middle-aged aunt to the kitchen. Only then did I come back to my senses.

Mu Feng asked me what I was thinking about and I lowered my head to look at the handkerchief in my hand. I casually wiped my sweat and told Mu Feng that everything in this house made me feel very uncomfortable.

I opened my eyes wide, and my eyes became hot. Maybe there were still traces of tears in them as I looked at Mu Feng. Mu Feng quickly grabbed my hand and ran downstairs.

Without looking back, we ran straight to Master Hong's yard.

The door was wide open. The security guard who was guarding the door wasn't there as well. I dragged Mu Feng and left Old Master Hong's house, saying that I wanted to go and find Taoist Su.

However, after running a few steps forward, Mu Feng flew in front of me and blocked my path. He placed both of his hands on my shoulders and asked me in concern what was going on.

I swallowed my saliva as I was still unsettled. I raised my head and tremblingly said, "I just saw it. The child in Shujun's stomach is probably already 4 months old. But … But her child has no soul. "

After hearing what I had to say, Mu Feng frowned and asked curiously, "Are you sure you didn't see wrongly? Could it be that the child is too young, and the soul that came to reincarnate hasn't arrived yet? "

I fiercely shook my head, telling Mu Feng that this was impossible! If that's the case, then that Shujun is dead in her heart, but I can see that her face is flushed, and there isn't even a hint of black green on her face, so how could she be dead in her womb!

The reason why I broke out in cold sweat was because I met Shujun in the corridor and discovered that she was carrying a child without a soul. I was reminded of Master Hong's earlier words about having me draw Hong Haibin's soul and then throwing his body to the Ghost Infant for him to deal with so that I could divert the Ghost Soul's attention and protect Hong Haibin.

The final step was to find a body and lend it to Hong Haibin.

There are two crucial points to borrowing a corpse to return to his soul. The first is that the soul itself must be able to survive in the mortal world. This is the reason why Master Hong wanted me to draw Hong Haibin's soul.

The second point was that the body needed to be revived had to be blood related to the person who wanted it to be revived.

Furthermore, the child did not even have a soul. This made people even more suspicious of the fact that Old Master Hong had said that if he wanted Hong Haibin's corpse to return the soul, it meant that he had placed Hong Haibin's soul into the child's body.

Since Old Master Hong had been a Taoist for many years, he was rich and powerful. Naturally, he was able to get to know many Taoist experts. It was certain that he would learn something from them.

Ever since we came to the Hong family, there have only been three people in their family, and they were related by blood to Hong Haibin. Apart from Master Hong, they are the children in Shujun's womb.

However, Shujun did not show any signs of bearing a dead child, yet I could not see the child's soul. This could only mean that the child's soul and Hong Haibin's soul were both extracted by someone.

I told my guess to Mu Feng, but Mu Feng just smiled at me indifferently, and even asked me if I was too tired recently, which was why I had these guesses.

I saw that Mu Feng didn't believe me, so I couldn't help but feel a little upset. I pushed away his hand that was on my shoulder and turned around, ignoring him.

"Wenwen, don't be angry." Mu Feng came to coax me, and I turned around again, still not looking at him.

Mu Feng followed my direction and continuously turned. He even made an attempt to curry favor with me as he caressed my ear with a soft voice.

But I didn't expect that this scene would be witnessed by Daoist Su who came down from the mountain. When I saw him, he was already walking towards me with a smile on his face. He didn't forget to tease me.

I glared at Mu Feng in annoyance, but he looked at me with a gleeful smile. He made me both embarrassed and annoyed. With a red face, he stomped his feet and said angrily, "Leader, why are you teasing me?"

Daoist Master Su stepped forward, the smile on his face instantly disappearing as he warned me in a low voice, "You guys are here making a ruckus. Be careful not to let others see your suspicion."

I scrunched my lips. I was too focused on my words just now that I forgot about it.

I lowered my head and whispered that I would pay attention to him later. Daoist Su also didn't blame me. He only asked me why I wasn't waiting for him at Old Master Hong's place and why I ran over.

The sweat in my hand had made the handkerchief wet. In this family, Shujun was the only one that I had a good impression of. I wanted to protect her and didn't want Master Hong to harm her son for the sake of Hong Haibin.
