“Recently, the little Kunming wolfdog we raise has been constantly barking and it’s too creepy. What’s more, it barks at the same time everyday. I didn’t dare to tell the local authorities about this. According to the elders, if the dog barks at night, either a thief has broken in, or there’s something supernatural happening. It barked again just now. That’s why I’m worried about my daughter. Young master, if you have any solution, can you please help me out?”
Liu’er’s mother said with sincerity.
Needless to say, Helian Wei Wei agreed and added, “I need to know about the Feng Shui of your house.” With that, she successfully entered the Yan family’s house.
The Yan family had one of the considerably ordinary residences in the Capital, with some cabbages planted in the front yard. They were an average family, and Helian Wei Wei found nothing after she studied the surroundings. Her gaze eventually landed on the Alsatian that was hiding in the dark.
Others were not able to see the Alsatian, but the little Kunming wolfdog sensed the presence of the king of its species. It gently moved its paws forward, whimpering.
Liu’er’s mother found its reaction strange. “It was barking just now. Why did it become quiet all of a sudden?”
The little Kunming wolfdog was speechless. How can I not be quiet when there is such an enormous creature standing before me?
Boss, Boss!
Unlike the arrogant Alsatian, the little Kunming wolfdog seemed scared but excited as it continued to run around in circles.
Helian Wei Wei signaled the Alsatian with a brief gaze.
Immediately, the Alsatian approached the little Kunming wolfdog and let out a couple of barks.
As expected, the little Kunming wolfdog was extremely delighted and barked in return as though it was replying to the Alsatian.
Liu’er’s mother did not pay attention to it. She turned her head and asked Helian Wei Wei, “Young master, there’s nothing wrong with our house, right?”
Helian Wei Wei acknowledged her question but her gaze showed that she dwelling in her own thoughts. Similarly, Helian Wei Wei thought something was amiss. She had walked around the area and all of the residences appeared normal. There was no Qi of Yin even at the alley itself. If this place was haunted, His Highness would have sensed it at the very beginning, not to mention the Alsatian. However, after checking out the entire vicinity, they discovered nothing.
Upon listening to Helian Wei Wei’s reply, Liu’er’s mother heaved a sigh of relief, but she was disappointed at the same time. Lately, she had been feeling restless and she reckoned that there was certainly something unusual going on.
Helian Wei Wei understood Liu’er’s mother concern and she added, “There’s nothing wrong with the Feng Shui, but the general trend of the residences nearby has not been good. Madam, if it’s convenient for you, can you tell me what’s the connection between the missing girls? You have to tell me things that you haven’t told the authorities. Otherwise, I will not know where to start from, although I’m more than willing to help your daughter.”
Liu’er’s mother replied hesitantly, “All of us live on the same street and meet frequently. There isn’t a particular connection between the girls but those girls…” She paused her words, apparently finding it difficult to continue.
Helian Wei Wei laid her eyes on her, “Madam, everything happens for a reason. I’m afraid that the ghost will not leave if we are unable to find the source.”
Liu’er’s mother paled at Helian Wei Wei’s statement. “In fact, it’s not a big deal. I’m only afraid to taint their reputation if I leak the information. Those young girls were infatuated with the second son of Lord Zhang and he often visits the alley.”
Despite the fact that she did not speak it explicitly, Helian Wei Wei could grasp the meaning of her words. Helian Wei Wei’s eyes sparkled. The second son of Lord Zhang?
“Don’t make groundless statement, mom,” Yan Liu’er pulled the corner of her mother’s clothes as she bit on her thin lips, “What if someone else overhears our conversation?”
Only then Liu’er’s mother snapped back. She turned to face Helian Wei Wei as she said, “Young master, please don’t get me wrong. I mean nothing else. Please don’t let anyone else find out about this out.”
“Fret not, madam. I am never a blabbermouth.” Puzzled, Helian Wei Wei glanced at Yan Liu’er. If Yan Liu’er is not the murderer and there is nothing strange in her residence, why is she spared from harm? Is it because she is the only one who has never come into contact with the second son of Lord Zhang?

After obtaining the information she wanted, Helian Wei Wei turned to look at Baili Jia Jue.
His Highness stood erectly with an emotionless expression throughout the entire exchange between Helian Wei Wei and the madam.
Nevertheless, his charm was enough to make anyone who stood close to him go red.
And, Yan Liu’er was one of them. “Young master, would you some tea?”
At that very moment, something scuttled past Yan Liu’er’s feet. Frightened, she screamed as she leaned toward Baili Jia Jue without even looking at it. “Something’s there. Something’s there!”
All of a sudden, black fogs rose in the breezeless dark sky, and Baili Jia Jue seemed to assimilate into the dark. His brutal and cold gaze laid on the little hand that was placed on his arm, and the disdain on his grin was replaced by menace that made one shudder.
Yan Liu’er realized her acts were inappropriate and she became more bashful. However, she failed to notice the bloodthirstiness that was painted across the man’s eyes.
Helian Wei Wei knew His Highness too well. She held Baili Jia Jue’s arm and said in a muffled tone, “She did not mean it.”
Baili Jia Jue was still wearing his callous look, but the ruthlessness in his eyes were gone. He removed his robe with one hand and tossed it to the ground nonchalantly.
Embarrassed by her action, Yan Liu’er stuttered, “I didn’t mean that. I sensed that something was scurrying past my feet just now. That was why I…”
“Liu’er, are you alright?” Liu’er’s mother asked, appearing perturbed.
Yan Liu’er shook her head and she looked at her feet. Then, she rubbed her arms, “It was a rat. Why is there a rat at this hour? Besides, why isn’t it afraid of humans?”
Helian Wei Wei’s eyes opened. Indeed, there should be little rats on the street during this season. It is winter. Are the rats not afraid of cold? Can it be the same as what happened back at the Green Dragon Lake? Is the aura of resentment strong enough to force the rats out? No, it can’t be. His Highness would have noticed if the aura of resentment is lingering in the air.
Apparently, His Highness had detected nothing.
“These rats are abnormal.”
It had been a long time since she used her consciousness stream to communicate with others.
Now, she heard His Highness’ deep and fruity voice.
Helian Wei Wei felt herself missing Yuan Ming who would only snicker.
“Missing Yuan Ming? Hmm?” The raised tone resounded within her consciousness.
Helian Wei Wei firmly denied, “Not at all.”
Baili Jia Jue threw a glimpse at her.
Immediately, Helian Wei Wei changed the topic, “Why are these rats abnormal?”
“They have no soul…”
