"You're the one who needs to be careful!"

Yin Liuli pulled Gu Jinyan over and raised her hand, sending out a beam of spiritual light.

"Aww..."

The vengeful ghost let out a mournful cry, its soul shattered and scattered into countless dust particles in the air.

Gu Jinyan felt a chill wind blow against his face, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

"Stand still!"

With a flick of her finger, Yin Liuli conjured a flash of inspiration, enveloping him within the Vajra Wall.

Although this guy caused a bit of trouble, he was still very manly to rush up to protect her without hesitation!

Gu Jinyan blinked, "Oh..."

Is the lady protecting me?

Feeling great...

Whirlwinds rose from the ground and came one after another, breaking one only to have more appear.

Yin Liuli exclaimed, "Waaaah!"

The mistress and servant worked together, shouting to block out the evil spirits and ghosts, while she used magic to break the formation.

"yes!"

With a whoosh, he brandished his long sword, shouting, "Give it to this humble general!"

Having served as a messenger for several years, he knows exactly what kind of poop his master needs without him even having to bend over!

No, that's called telepathy!

Yin Liuli immediately noticed that a Yin-gathering array had been set up in the courtyard, causing a surge of Yin energy.

The Yin Gathering Formation can summon evil spirits and vengeful ghosts from within a hundred miles. If the formation is not broken, everyone in the courtyard will suffer.

"By imperial decree...the Three Realms shall serve as guards, the Five Emperors shall oversee the welcoming ceremony. All gods shall pay homage, and thunder and lightning shall be commanded."

Demons and monsters are terrified, spirits and monsters are carried away. Protect the true man! So be it!

Yin Liuli stood still, her beautiful face showing no sign of panic, and raised her hand to draw a golden divine talisman in her palm.

Driven by her will, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she cried out, "Break!"

"boom……"

The thunder rumbled past everyone's ears, faint yet seemingly penetrating their eardrums and striking their hearts, making them tremble uncontrollably.

"You're impressive! You even managed to break my formation!"

A cold, eerie voice pierced Yin Liuli's ears, "You brat, we'll meet again!"

It's Wuyazi!

Yin Liuli snorted coldly, "Why are you running?"

Wu Yazi's voice had long since disappeared.

The strong winds suddenly stopped.

The creaking doors and windows, and the branches swaying wildly in the wind, fell silent in an instant.

Time seemed to freeze for a second, and Madam Xue and all the maids and servants were still standing there, stunned.

Gu Jinyan secretly gasped, "Impressive, Madam!"

In his eyes, Yin Liuli was shining brightly.

Why do I feel like picking her up and throwing her into the air?

"Miss Liuli..."

Madam Xue snapped out of her daze and looked at Yin Liuli tremblingly, "What...what just happened?"

"Miss Yuzhu!"

Before the words were finished, a maidservant screamed in terror, "It's terrible! Miss Yuzhu is dead!"

Yin Yuzhu lay on the ground, dead.

Blood stained the stone bricks beneath him, his face was as white as paper, his mouth was wide open, and his lifeless eyes stared blankly. His death was indescribably gruesome and terrifying.

Yin Liuli frowned unconsciously; her soul had been taken away by Wu Yazi.

"Dead...dead?"

Madam Xue gasped, her face filled with shock. "Miss Liuli, you really killed her!"

Yin Liuli gave a faint snort. "It wasn't me."

When Wu Yazi arrived, Yin Yuzhu was still alive.

She died with her soul extracted while she was still alive.

"Still denying it! We all watched as you whipped her to death!"

Terrified, Madam Xue suddenly pointed at Yin Liuli and roared, "What deep-seated grudge do you have against Yuzhu that you would disregard sisterly affection and kill someone with your own hands! How cruel you are!"

Yin Liuli curled her lips coldly.

"Get this straight, I'm just ruthless, not vicious."

Gu Jinyan suddenly curled his lips into a smile.

"If Liuli said it wasn't her, then it wasn't her."

His tall figure stood beside Yin Liuli, like an unshakeable mountain, looking at Xue Shi with a cold and arrogant air.

"So what if she did? I'm the one who told her to hit me!"

Yin Liuli, "..."

"Yan'er, I know you're protecting her, but this is murder! Murderers must pay with their lives. How can you still protect her?!"

Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, Madam Xue cried out, "You say Yuzhu harmed Liuli, but who saw it? Yuzhu got into trouble while she was here! How am I supposed to explain this? How is the Duke's mansion supposed to explain this?!"

"I saw it."

Gu Jinyan grabbed Yin Liuli's hand, a haughty smile playing on his lips.

"I will personally explain to my grandfather, Madam Xue. Why are you in such a hurry?"

I'll protect my woman, what's your hurry?

Yin Liuli struggled to pull her hand back, but the other woman gripped it even tighter.

Madam Xue was speechless, unable to catch her breath, and angrily retorted,

"What are you all standing there for! Something this serious has happened, go report it to the authorities!"

Gu Jinyan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Go ahead. Liuli, are you tired? Let's find a place to have some tea."

"What happened that escalated to the point of reporting it to the authorities?"

The old lady's languid voice came from outside, "Yanran, this is Miss Liuli's own business, what's it to you?"

The courtyard was in complete chaos, and someone had already reported everything to the old lady.

The old lady simply said, "I understand."

This made Madam Zhen extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, fearing that her daughter might actually cause a death, and she tried to stop her.

But the old lady grabbed her arm and comforted her with a smile, saying,

"Let Liuli make a fuss all she wants. No matter what happens, I'll be there for you. What's the rush? Let's have some tea."

……

"Mother!"

Madam Xue's heart sank. She hurriedly approached the old lady's sedan chair and said in a panic, "Liuli whipped Yuzhu to death. It wasn't that I was being nosy, but she killed someone!"

The old lady frowned in displeasure. "What's it to you?"

"this……"

Madam Xue was speechless for a moment, then stammered, "Yuzhu is the fiancée I personally chose for Yun'er, she is the future of our Duke's mansion..."

"Mother, I never agreed to this marriage; you insisted on arranging it yourself."

Fang Zhengyun gave a soft snort and glanced at Yin Liuli, seemingly unintentionally. "This person only knows how to flatter you. I don't like her at all."

Xue was completely stunned.

"Guards! Miss Yuzhu has died unexpectedly. Why haven't you collected her body and sent it back to her?"

"Girl, come here and come back with your grandmother for tea and a chat."

The old lady smiled and waved to Yin Liuli.

Yin Liuli smiled and said, "Yes, Grandmother."

The old lady gave Gu Jinyan a meaningful look, "Yan'er, I'm leaving this matter to you."

Gu Jinyan smiled and said, "Yes!"

……

After returning to the old lady's room and sitting down, Madam Zhen was so anxious that her face turned pale.

"Liuli, you're too reckless! Tell your mother, what exactly happened?"

"Mother, do you remember when we just finished eating? Yin Yuzhu put some kind of 'qi-dispelling powder' in my teacup..."

She and Wuyazi joined forces to destroy my cultivation and kill me!

Yin Liuli briefly recounted the whole incident.

"If you don't believe me, Madam, just call over the maid who served the tea and ask her."

In no time, Gu Jinyan returned, bringing with him two old women who were tied up with ropes.
