The Pink Bride's expression suddenly changed. Her slender fingers moved immediately and the dagger was back in her hand.
She turned her head and looked in the direction of the moon Cave gate.
Under the shadow of the swaying trees, a cold wind blew and yellow leaves fluttered. A weak figure was slowly walking out. He was dressed in layers of brocade robes, which wrapped him up tightly.
On her face was a mask that had no facial features and was as smooth as a mirror. This mask was similar to the one that the maidservant wore, but at the corner of her eyes, there were two shallow traces of blood, as if blood and tears had dried up.
It was Xiao Zheng from earlier in the day!
After identifying the other party, The Pink Bride did not hesitate and immediately fled into the distance.
As soon as she left, the maidservant's body paused for a moment. Then, she suddenly retracted her long hair and her ghostly claws returned to their slender and soft hands. It was as if she had instantly forgotten everything that had happened earlier. She took a few steps forward and bowed respectfully to PEI Ling,"Young master Zheng!"
PEI Ling coughed a few times. He was already prepared for battle, but when he saw this, he immediately retracted his aura and nodded slightly to the servant girl.
Not long after he left the house, he heard the commotion of a fight. When he rushed over, he saw this scene.
In fact, The Pink Bride and the maidservant were both ghosts.
To PEI Ling, it did not matter who won or lost. However, the mask on the maid's face must not be damaged by The Pink Bride.
When he thought of this, he immediately ordered, " "Come to my bedroom."
Hearing this, the maidservant was clearly stunned. She hesitantly said, " "I'm looking for miss Xiang 'e ..."
This maidservant had been looking for Xiao Xiang 'e for two nights ...
Xiao Xiang 'e was The Pink Bride, and The Pink Bride's aura had clearly recovered a certain amount of her cultivation.
This situation was a little strange. The Pink Bride clearly did not have a mask. How did she resist the suppression of the life Providence and recover her strength?
It was wrong! Curse's arrangement was very well hidden. In such a short time, it was impossible for The Pink Bride to know about the fate!
It was likely that the other party had not resisted the suppression of the life Providence. Instead, he had awakened Xiao Xiang 'E's memories, and his life Providence was beginning to be devoured!
As he pondered, PEI Ling could not help but cough again. Although he had recovered his Qi cultivation stage cultivation, his body was still a little strained after wandering outside for a long time. He did not think too much and directly ordered,"Follow me!"
Seeing the young master's displeasure, the maidservant did not dare to refuse and quickly replied, " "Yes!"
※※※
A moment later, in Xiao Zheng's bedroom.
The door creaked open.
A gust of cold wind swept in first, and the candle flame in the melon-style Begonia palace lantern shook violently for a few times before it stabilized. The shadows on the four walls danced wildly, as if countless demons and ghosts had revealed their ferocious faces and bared their fangs and claws.
The maidservant supported PEI Ling as they carefully crossed the threshold and entered the room behind the screen.
The room with the window frames nailed shut was warm, immediately dispersing the cold that wrapped around the two.
Feeling the cold leave, PEI Ling's condition started to stabilize.
After helping him into the tent and sitting down, the maidservant half-knelt on the foot and intended to help the young master take off his shoes and socks. However, PEI Ling shook his head slightly.
"Young master, do you have any orders?" the maidservant asked.
PEI Ling looked at the mask on her face and asked directly, " "Do you know anything about the faceless immortal?"
The maidservant was stunned, her reaction was exactly the same as the maidservant who had served PEI Ling. She stopped what she was doing and replied with uncertainty, " "Young master, I ... I seem to have heard of it before, but I can't recall it now."
Hearing this, PEI Ling nodded his head in satisfaction. It would naturally be for the best if he could really find out more about the faceless immortal.
As long as he could get his hands on the other party's mask like the maidservant who had served him just now!
At the thought of this, PEI Ling immediately asked the same question as before."Then ... Do you know about the sacrificial offering?"
Hearing the word 'sacrifice', the maidservant's body froze. After a long while, she turned her head stiffly and looked at PEI Ling.
"I ... Am the sacrifice!" The servant's voice suddenly turned cold.
"This servant should go and find miss Xiang 'E!"
Her words were filled with boundless hatred, and her aura soared wildly. Without any hesitation, she stood up and walked out of the room.
Seeing that the servant girl did not take out a dagger to stab him, PEI Ling was stunned.
If the other party didn't attack, how could he use [ withered heart technique ]?
And how could he get the mask on the other party's face?
Yes, he planned to repeat the process of getting the first maid's mask. First, he would make her remember the memory of the sacrifice, and then he would use the [ withered heart spell ] to get through it. This way, he could successfully get her mask ...
If this failed, he would snatch it directly!
However, looking at the aura that was rising from the other party's body, it was no longer something that a Qi cultivation stage cultivator could withstand. PEI Ling tactfully maintained his silence and allowed him to leave.
&Quot; ta, ta, ta ... &Quot; the sound of hurried footsteps quickly faded into the distance. In the bedroom, only PEI Ling was left.
He frowned. This maidservant was also a sacrifice!
Moreover, Xiao Xiang 'e had probably offered her as a sacrifice.
Now that the other party had been reminded by the word " sacrifice ", his strength had increased greatly. It would be difficult to get his mask again, so it was better to change targets ...
With a thought, PEI Ling walked out of the bedroom again.
※※※
The crowing of a rooster, accompanied by the faint light of the horizon, woke up the entire Xiao Manor.
The long night had passed. In the early morning, PEI Ling, who was covered in night dew, returned to his room.
For the entire night, he had already walked around the entire Xiao Manor and discovered that all the maidservants were wearing masks at night. However, after testing a few of them, he realized that each of them had a different target of hatred. It was difficult to obtain their masks through the same method.
In addition, none of the guards during the day stayed overnight in the house.
As he pondered, he turned around the screen, walked into the room, and sat down at the table. The warmth in the room and the coldness on the mask interweaved, emitting a thin white steam.
The cold gloominess drilled into PEI Ling's body like a maggot. He could not help but lower his head and cough violently.
Dragging his sick body to travel through the night, his illness seemed to be showing signs of worsening.
PEI Ling frowned and immediately reached out to remove his mask.
His aura instantly dropped to that of a mortal, but his condition had recovered. His condition had also improved significantly.
However, the next moment, he was slightly dazed. He saw himself holding a bunch of newly-folded flower branches and hurriedly walking through the long corridor towards the backyard. As he walked, he said to the person behind him, " &Quot; mother must have just woken up at this time. I'll send the flower branches over now and let her put the vases ... Once she's happy, the horse that I've taken a fancy to will be settled. &Quot;
