When Ye Pianran returned to the wing, the four maids she knocked unconscious had not yet woken up.

She ran into the room like a ghost again, closed the window in the same way as before, lifted the disguise spell, resumed the disguise of an attendant, and then lay back on the bed and pretended to sleep as if nothing had happened.

Not long after, the four maids woke up one after another, with the same confused look on their faces.

"what happened?"

They communicated with each other, and they were quite confused about the situation. If they didn't all have the same feeling, they would think that everything that just happened was their own hallucination.

Especially the maid opposite the bed felt baffled. She still remembered that her eyes blurred for a moment, and then she didn't know anything at all.

What happened?

Could it be the female nun whom the Second Young Master ordered them to look at... But that's not right either.

The maid was a little confused. After she woke up, she immediately checked the situation on the bed and found that the person was not only still there, but also asleep. There was nothing unusual about it.

Staring at Ye Pianran's sleeping face, she became even more confused. She opened the door and asked the guard outside, but only got a reply that there was no movement.

The people guarding here are all monks who have perfected their qi training. Since they have said so, it should be really okay.

After all, no matter how powerful the person on the bed is, there is no way he can avoid the eyes and ears of so many people.

Thinking like this, the maid felt relieved and continued to stay in front of the bed, waiting for the second young master's next order.

……

Gu Xueran followed Chen Xingyue into the inner residence of the Chen Mansion, and while chatting and laughing, she revealed everything about her family background.

Of course, it was Gu Xue's family background, not hers.

Chen Xingyue got the answer he wanted, and in the name of serving tea, he winked at the attendant next to him.

The attendant took the order and retreated. After a while, he hurried back and knelt down at Chen Xingyue's feet, sweating profusely. It was extremely lifelike.

"Why so panic?"

Chen Xingyue frowned displeased, gave Gu Xueran an apologetic smile, and then asked sternly.

"No, it's not good, Second Young Master..." the attendant said intermittently, whether out of nervousness or fatigue, it took a while to calm down.

"The distinguished guest, Miss Gu's bodyguard, suddenly fainted for some reason while chatting and strolling with the Third Young Master! He is now recuperating, and the Third Young Master is taking care of him..."

"what!"

Hearing this, Gu Xueran was shocked and immediately started clapping the case.

"Miss Gu, stay calm. With my third brother here, I think there won't be any big problem."

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Chen Xingyue coughed and hurriedly stood up to comfort him, while glaring at the attendant fiercely.

"What the hell are you doing standing here with no eyes? Lead the way! If Miss Gu's body is damaged by anger, I'll ask you!"

"Yes, yes...please come with me, both of you."

The attendants nodded and bowed, then walked in front to lead the way.

On the way, passing by the courtyard where Ye Pianran had just pretended to be sick, Gu Xueran stopped and looked at Chen Xingyue.

"I wonder where Major Chen has placed Ayu? I want to see her."

Chen Xingyue did not doubt his presence and called his servants to invite him.

In the side room, Ye Pianran was woken up by her maid with eyes full of confusion. Seeing her like this, the maid was really relieved and took her to the courtyard. "Ayu, how are you? Are you recovering well?"

As soon as the two girls met, Gu Xueran asked with concern, her expression couldn't be fake at all.

"I've met you, Miss." Ye Pianran bowed and nodded, "I had a good sleep and I feel much better."

"That's good..."

Chen Xingyue watched the two girls caring for each other, always smiling, interrupting at appropriate times, and continuing to lead them out.

A moment later, they saw the unconscious Zheng Lu in a wing in the outer courtyard. The latter's hall turned black for some reason, and he looked like he was in danger.

"How is this going?"

Gu Xueran frowned.

"I don't know either." Chen Shurui shook his head and said sincerely, "I was originally exchanging cultivation experiences with fellow Taoist Gu and taking him to see the furnishings in the house... But unexpectedly, he suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, which shocked me. .”

The few people exchanged a few more words, but they didn't discuss the reason. They could only order people to carry Zheng Lu on a stretcher, and leave the Chen Mansion with the two girls and return to the house where they settled.

Miraculously, Zheng Lu's condition began to improve as soon as he left the realm of the Chen Mansion. He even woke up faintly on the way, only being in a daze for a while before returning to normal.

He got off the stretcher, sent the Chen family's servants away, set up a sound barrier, and sent a message to the two girls to explain the situation.

It turns out that the reason Zheng Lu became like this was because he was pretending.

After he realized that there was a strong evil cultivator in the Chen family, he felt very uncomfortable. Recalling his master's careful teachings for so many years, he suddenly understood that he was having a rejection reaction.

So, he simply pretended to be faint and stalled for time.

The evil cultivators in the Chen Mansion were so strong that they had caused countless murders. If he followed Chen Shurui and continued to penetrate deeper, there was no telling what would happen to his body.

As for why Yintang turned black, it was caused by him absorbing too much evil cultivator blood. Fortunately, he also had many life-saving magic weapons on his body. Although they looked scary, they actually did not penetrate into his body, and a certain balance was achieved between the inside and outside.

Because of this, after he left the realm of the Chen Mansion, he was freed from the blood-rich environment and quickly recovered. With the help of magic weapons, he eliminated all these evil spirits.

"I see, it's okay."

Gu Xueran nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "But at that time, based on Chen Xingyue's reaction, I thought that your fainting was also part of their plan."

"The blood of evil cultivators is extremely evil. If it invades the human body, it will make the person dizzy and weak. Over time, it is possible that the person will lose his mind and become a walking corpse."

Ye Pianran said, "The Chen family must also know this, so they are not surprised at all by Senior Brother Zheng's coma. They even thought that their strategy was working."

After a pause, she briefly stated the results of her investigation, but she did not mention a word about the content of the Eight Yin Lianjiao Xuan Demon Array.

She was not thinking of hiding something, or having other thoughts, but because this formation originated from ancient times, and the ancient books and secrets about blood sacrifices had been destroyed on a large scale. If she showed that she knew about it, she might arouse suspicion.

Of course, there is another reason why she did this, and that is that she doesn’t know what other people’s gains will be.

If everyone makes good progress and combines it, the whole story of the incident may be revealed. By then, with the eyesight of the two elders, clues will be discovered.

But to take a step back, if it really doesn't work...

Although Ye Pianran has always adhered to the principle of protecting one's own safety, he could not do anything but watch the fire from the other side and watch his fellow disciples go to die.

If it really comes to that point, she will tell everything she knows.

In as tactful a manner as possible.
