Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 125 Coincidence
Even if everyone kept silent about it, the clan leader's wife knew it very well.

The condition of the head of the Shen family is now no different from that of a ghost.

"Xiaowu, take the patriarch inside to rest and lock the doors and windows securely."

"You don't have to be afraid. Since so many days have passed and the female ghost has no intention of harming anyone, it means we are safe for the time being. The abbot will be here tomorrow, and I believe the matter will be resolved."

The clan leader's wife vented her emotions briefly, but quickly regained her composure. The elegant and luxurious robe she wore made her look extremely reliable.

Madam Shen Er appeared out of nowhere and spoke softly, "Madam Clan Leader, Master said it's because of the evil spirit in the mansion. Aren't you going to deal with it? Can Madam Clan Leader bear to see the Clan Leader become like this?"

The woman deliberately lowered her voice with a hint of bewitching tone, trying to tempt the clan leader's wife to do something irrational.

Unexpectedly, the clan leader's wife glared at her fiercely and slapped Madam Shen Er without saying a word.

"Snapped!"

The sound of the slap was particularly loud in the dark.

Madam Shen Er covered her cheeks and looked at the clan leader's wife in disbelief. She never expected that she would choose to take action.

"Hit me, how dare you hit me!?"

"You troublemaker! Instead of trying to resolve this situation, you keep trying to sow discord."

"Jiang Yun, I'm warning you, if you dare to do anything messy, I will definitely let the second son of the Shen family divorce you."

The clan leader's wife holds an extraordinary status in the mansion, and she has the right to make the decision.

Madam Shen II covered her cheeks and lowered her eyes to hide the resentment in them. Even though she hated the clan leader's wife to death, she didn't dare show it.

You old fool, why are you pretending now? You'll regret it when something happens to the patriarch!

Mrs. Shen cursed him in her heart.

"Jiang Yun, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Don't mess around with your thoughts. Just think in your heart that I can't control you. But if you dare to do anything and I find out, you'll definitely suffer the consequences."

"If you dare to force Zhishu again, don't blame me for being cruel."

The clan leader’s wife is a smart person and knows clearly who in the Shen family is the one who knows what’s going on.

As for the monsters, it's all nonsense.

"Besides, if she's a demon, Shen Mengyan shouldn't be punished by heaven..."

Shen Mengyan is a junior after all, so it is not appropriate for the clan leader’s wife to say vicious words.

The meaning is clear to both parties.

Madam Shen Er was frantic in her heart. Why? Why, after all this, was the clan leader's wife still firmly defending that bitch?

What's so good about her? Why does everyone say Madam Shen is better than her?!
Mrs. Shen Er was extremely unwilling in her heart, but she refused to believe in evil and was determined to pull Mrs. Shen down sooner or later.

Since my husband is an official outside and cannot be the head of the family, I will support Shen Yingfeng to be the head of the family.

Mrs. Shen was calculating very quickly.

The clan leader's wife was extremely tired and signaled her servants to drive Madam Shen away.

Shen Fuyu saw all of this, and while no one was paying attention, he quietly slipped into the room. With a wave of his sleeve, the patriarch fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Fuyu placed his fingertips on the patriarch's wrist, feeling the patriarch's weak pulse. Shen Fuyu increased his attention, separated a tiny trace of spiritual energy, and explored along the patriarch's meridians.

Is it a ghost or poisoning?
Shen Fuyu was concentrating, feeling the difference in the patriarch's body.

Since practicing, Shen Fuyu has become extremely sensitive to Yin energy. If it is evil spirits causing trouble, Shen Fuyu can detect it.

Time passed little by little, and there was no sign of anything unusual in the patriarch's body.

Shen Fuyu frowned, but he didn't give up and checked again, and it was the same as the first time.

It seems as if the patriarch became like this for no reason.

Do not!
She doesn't believe it!

Shen Fuyu bit his lip, and the tiny spiritual energy thickened a little, wanting to continue exploring.

"Click!" The door was pushed open.

Shen Fuyu dodged and hid behind the beam. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was caught off guard by a pair of eyes.

"!!!"

Shen Fuyu covered his mouth tightly and did not scream.

No!

How come there was someone else in the room? She didn't even notice.

The stranger looked at Shen Fuyu with a smile but didn't say anything.

When Shen Fuyu came in just now, he jumped onto the beam at the first moment, just like Shen Fuyu.

The two stared at each other.

"Old man, why didn't you tell me what happened? You had to bear it alone. If you are unhappy about something, just say it out." The clan leader's wife's voice was choked with sobs, and there was a bit of grievance in her voice.

If the old man hadn't suddenly gotten into trouble, the clan leader's wife would have been kept in the dark.

It turned out that the old man had been unwell for a long time.

However, the old man did not take it seriously, thinking it was a sign of his approaching death.

"Alas!" A sigh escaped the patriarch's wife's lips. "She always wanted to avoid causing me trouble and worrying us. Look, now something has suddenly happened, and she's left me with a mess. I don't even have time to deal with it."

"My children are all serving as officials in other places, and I dare not tell them about this."

"The Shen family has evil ambitions and is restless all day long. They just want to be evil."

"My sister-in-law will be back in a couple of days. Then the Shen family will be even more lively. Old man, tell me, how can I resist these wolves and tigers by myself? If you feel sorry for me, wake up quickly."

The patriarch's wife kept chattering and holding the patriarch's hand tightly.

She believes it.

The old man must have heard it, but he was in trouble and couldn't respond.

Shen Fuyu frowned. Old lady?
Is she the mother of the Shen family master?

I have been in the Shen Mansion for such a long time, but I have never met the elders.

Shen Fuyu hadn't asked about it either, and subconsciously thought that the old lady had died long ago and was not in the mansion.

The clan leader's wife nagging for a long time, but was finally persuaded to leave by the old nanny.

The room fell completely silent, without a sound of movement, leaving only the two people on the beams alert to each other.

"who are you?"

A voice that couldn't be distinguished between male and female sounded in my ears.

Shen Fuyu was the first to jump down from the beam, arms folded across his chest, "Who are you?"

The man in black followed closely behind, and a pair of inverted triangle eyes came into view.

A familiar smell lingered at the tip of my nose.

Shen Fuyu sniffed lightly, and a guess emerged in her mind. She pursed her lips and did not expose him immediately.

Ah!
He really is everywhere.

"What are you doing in the Shen Mansion? What is your purpose?" Shen Fuyu asked.

The man in black scoffed, "You also have bad intentions. What qualifications do you have to question me?"

"Well, since we have the same goal, why don't we join hands to kill the head of the Shen family!" The man in black rubbed his hands, eager to try.

It seemed that as long as Shen Fuyu agreed, he would take action immediately.

"Master, how long are you going to keep pretending?"
