As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, Teacher Yu and Sister-in-law Kong’s faces changed drastically. The husband and wife looked at each other and saw the suspicion and shock in each other’s eyes.

If Jiang Li really had something to do with Xiao Wei and the Buddha pendant, she couldn’t just be described as ‘malicious.’

Teacher Yu and Sister-in-law Kong couldn’t wait to find out the truth, but they were only ordinary people. What could they do?

Teacher Yu hurriedly said, “Shuyan, I’ll ask my mother about this later!”

This matter was too serious. Whether or not the Buddha pendant had anything to do with Jiang Li, Teacher Yu didn’t plan to let Jiang Li get close to Xiao Wei and the Yu family.

Chi Shuyan thought of something and said, “There’s no hurry. I’ll get someone to help investigate. Teacher Yu, don’t alert the enemy!”

When Teacher Yu heard that Shuyan was willing to help, he naturally trusted her and hurriedly nodded. “Okay, okay, okay… Shuyan, my Yu family is really grateful to you. Sorry to trouble you!”

Chi Shuyan said, “I’ll have to trouble Sister-in-law to prepare a guest room for me!”

Sister-in-law Kong immediately said that she would go prepare it right away, and told Chi Shuyan not to be polite and to treat the Yu house as her own.

Chi Shuyan smiled at Sister-in-law Kong, who was very enthusiastic. Before the latter went to tidy up the guest room, she asked if Chi Shuyan had eaten dinner. If not, she would cook something.

Chi Shuyan turned her down and said that she had already eaten and wasn’t hungry.

Sister-in-law Kong conceded when she saw that Shuyan wasn’t just being polite and really had eaten already.

After Sister-in-law Kong went out to get busy, Chi Shuyan advised Teacher Yu in the study, “Teacher Yu, like Sister-in-law said just now, that Buddha pendant looks very evil. It’s best not to feed that thing with blood in the future, to prevent backlash and death.”

When Teacher Yu heard Shuyan say that the Buddha pendant was very evil, his heart quivered. He was glad that he had asked Shuyan for help, and regretted letting Jiang Li get close to their Yu family.

Teacher Yu hurriedly nodded. “I understand, Shuyan!”

After saying everything that needed to be said, Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything else. Sister-in-law Kong was quick to get things done. It wasn’t long before she tidied up the guest room and changed the bedsheets. In fact, Jiang Li often stayed over at the Yu place. Every time she saw how well Jiang Li treated Xiao Wei, Sister-in-law Kong could be said to serve Jiang Li diligently. Who would have thought that this Jiang woman was the stereotypical ingrate? Sister-in-law Kong’s previous gratitude had been wasted on her.

When Old Madam Yu and Yu Wei found out that Chi Shuyan would be staying the night, they agreed and didn’t say much. Although the Yu family matriarch was usually especially superstitious, she had a good character and wasn’t as acerbic as that person from the Yang family. Instead, she was kind and loving. She thought that this young lady was in some sort of trouble that she couldn’t talk about, so she readily agreed to whatever arrangements her son and daughter-in-law made.

She even exhorted Sister-in-law Kong to bring a new quilt for the young lady.

Yu Wei was also very happy about Chi Shuyan staying over. If she wasn’t pregnant and feeling unwell, she would have helped Sister-in-law Kong clean up.

This was another reason why Chi Shuyan was willing to help the Yu family.

That night, Chi Shuyan stayed at the Yu place and sent Chef Li a message to say that she wouldn’t be back tonight.

Although she was staying at the Yu place, she didn’t sleep. Instead, she meditated and cultivated in her room.

At 1:30am, she vaguely heard footsteps outside!

Fortunately, her senses were sharp, so she clearly heard footsteps outside the door.

The footsteps drew closer, but when they reached her door, they suddenly disappeared. Before that thing could approach her room, Chi Shuyan immediately lay down on the bed and pretended to be asleep, when in fact, she stared at the door with narrowed eyes.

Not long after, the door creaked and was gently pushed open. From Chi Shuyan’s angle, she could clearly see a strange, sinister-looking eye in the moonlight. There wasn’t the slightest bit of white in the eye, and it was completely black. It pressed up against the crack in the door as it stared fixedly inside, which was very terrifying and creepy.

Chi Shuyan was fully prepared as she tried to surmise what on earth this thing was.

It was just that the thing didn’t give her a chance to make a move. Soon, the door closed again very lightly with a soft creak, which sounded very scary in the dark night.

When the door closed, Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and listened intently for movement outside. Not long after, there was the sound of footsteps and then the clatter of a wooden chopping board being used.

Chi Shuyan stuck an Invisibility Talisman on herself and calmly headed in the direction of the sound. Although she was very confident in this Invisibility Talisman, she still didn’t know what this thing was, so she could only follow at a distance.

Then, she saw that the light in the kitchen was on. A figure with its back to her was holding a knife and bringing it down on the chopping board. From this angle, she couldn’t see the face, but the figure looked very human from the back.

Chi Shuyan didn’t know what the thing was trying to do in the kitchen. After she waited for a while, it suddenly turned its head, and Chi Shuyan saw a face that was 80 to 90% similar to the Maitreya Buddha’s. It wore a hideous smile and had an evil aura. The completely black eyes were terrifyingly big. They took up half the face, while the other facial features were squeezed into the other half.

It was a very stark ratio.

The thing stared at the chopping board with a sinister smile. It looked very evil, and its mouth opened to reveal sparse, sharp teeth, which made it look even uglier.

Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes. Not long after, she saw the thing suddenly pick up a knife and walk out of the kitchen and toward Sister Xiao Wei’s room.
