Three times married to Yama

Whether it was the servants still working, the butler in the garden, or the rest of the Pei family, they all fell into a deep sleep.

In this huge old house, it seemed as if he was the only one still conscious.

Old Master Pei's face was grim and terrified. He murmured, "What on earth happened... Could it really be..."

He dared not say more, and he was afraid to bring up that thing.

After his initial shock, Mr. Pei picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Come to the Pei family quickly, something terrible has happened! Things seem to be beyond our expectations. Almost everyone in the Pei family is unconscious, not even the servants have escaped!" Old Master Pei said to the person on the other end of the phone in a terrified tone.

The person on the other end of the phone said something, and the look of fear on Old Master Pei's face faded a little.

……

"Master, are the Pei family members all asleep now?" Xia Zheng asked softly beside me. He had just witnessed many glowing little flying insects flying towards various parts of the Pei family's residence.

I nodded slightly. "Yes, right now, besides us, only Madam Pei and Old Master Pei are still conscious in the entire Pei family."

"So what do we do now?" he asked.

"Just follow me," I replied.

I jumped straight off the roof, and the girl quickly followed me, while Xia Zheng clung to the railing, wailing in pain.

"Master, please consider my feelings too! You all jumped off the roof; if I don't do the same, it'll make me look like a coward!"

The young girl glanced at him and said, "You're already a terrible student. I don't think someone as incompetent as you deserves to be Madam's apprentice. I don't know what Madam saw in you. You'd better just take the stairs."

After being scolded by the virgin, Xia Zheng felt like he was about to break. He sighed helplessly, turned around, and obediently walked down the stairs.

After checking the message my mother sent me on my phone, I headed towards a certain direction from the Pei family's residence.

That was where Grandpa Pei lived. My mother was inside at the moment, but Xia Zheng and I didn't go in directly. Instead, we chose to eavesdrop. Tong Nu skipped and swaggered in. Anyway, as long as she wanted, no one could see her.

My mother was pale, her eyes were red, and tears were still hanging from the corners of her eyes.

With tears streaming down her face, she said to Old Master Pei, "Dad, what has happened to the Pei family? Now, apart from you and me, there's no one else in the Pei family who's thinking straight!"

"What should we do..." my mother said, wiping away tears, looking very sad and scared.

My mom's performance was genuine yet subtly dramatic.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Pei scoffed, "How would I know what to do? We'll find out once Master Lu arrives! He has a way to wake up the Pei family!"

Hmm? Master Lu? It seems that Pei Yu overheard Old Master Pei talking to another mysterious person earlier, and that mysterious person was very likely Master Lu.

My mother seized on Old Master Pei's words and immediately asked in shock, "Since Master Lu can wake up the Pei family, why didn't you invite Master Lu over while he was unconscious that day?"

"Dad, Tiankuo is your own son, you..."

At this point, my mother didn't want to continue, and just looked at Grandpa Pei with eyes full of disappointment.

Upon hearing my mother's words, a hint of unease flashed across Old Master Pei's face. He pondered for a moment before replying, "Naturally, it was not the right time before. Master Lu does not act rashly; he must act at the most crucial moment for the Pei family. Now is the perfect time."

"Is that so? What if Master Lu can't wake up the Pei family?" My mother asked softly, wiping away her tears.

"Absolutely impossible!" Old Master Pei replied firmly.

My mother didn't say anything more, but after staying for a while, she left Old Master Pei's room.

Only after my mother had walked far away did I emerge from the darkness and go to her place.

As soon as my mother saw me, she asked, "Ah Yin, did you hear what the old man was saying?"

"Yes, I heard you." I nodded. "Don't rush, let's wait for Master Lu to arrive."

Since Old Master Pei trusts that Master Lu so much, I'd like to see what he's really capable of.

"If Master Lu really wakes up the Pei family, then the old man definitely won't reveal the secret behind the Yin Cai Gui (a type of ghostly wealth)," my mother said with some worry.

I wasn't worried at all. Seeing my calm demeanor, my mother asked curiously, "Ah Yin, aren't you afraid our plan will fail?"

I glanced at the little girl circling around my mother, observing her, and shook my head, replying, "Don't be afraid, Madam Pei. How many people in this world do you think can compare to Lan Ting's magic?"

When my father's name was mentioned, my mother's expression faltered for a moment. She said softly, "I don't know... I only know that he was very strong, terrifyingly strong."

Upon hearing this, I slightly raised my chin, my gaze calm and confident. "If Master Lu is no match for Lan Ting, then he is naturally no match for me either, and therefore cannot break my spell."
