Three times married to Yama

My mother stared at me blankly, a hint of sadness in her expression for some reason.

"Okay, okay..." she murmured.

I gently took her hand and softened my tone, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen."

She looked up at me with deep eyes, "Ah Yin, I feel relieved to hear what you said."

Master Lu arrived at the Pei family's house close to midnight. Old Master Pei called my mother to come over and make tea for Master Lu.

Xia Zheng and I followed, but we remained hidden in the shadows. I figured that by this time, Grandpa Pei would definitely be talking to that Master Lu about the Yin Cai Gui (a type of ghostly wealth).

I sat on the wall of Grandpa Pei's courtyard. A flowering tree blocked our view, but I could see parts of the courtyard and hall through the gaps.

A middle-aged man sat in the living room, with Old Master Pei standing beside him, his back slightly bent and his smile somewhat humble. My mother was making tea for the two of them.

Presumably, the middle-aged man was Master Lu. Judging from his appearance, Master Lu was of medium build and had an ordinary appearance, the kind of face you could see anywhere on the street. However, the sinister aura emanating from him was hard to ignore.

I knew at first glance that Master Lu was not practicing the right path.

Standing beside Master Lu, Old Master Pei asked with a worried expression, "Master Lu, you can definitely handle the Pei family's current situation, right?"

"Of course," Master Lu replied confidently. "Your Pei family members are merely in a coma; waking them up is naturally a simple matter for me."

"Are the people I asked you to prepare ready?"

Upon hearing this, my mother's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

Grandpa Pei nodded quickly, "I dare not neglect Master Lu's instructions. I am all prepared and just waiting for Master Lu's instructions."

"Yes, that's good."

Master Lu stood up and said to Old Master Pei, "Take me to save people."

Old Master Pei immediately agreed, and then led Master Lu to the room upstairs, where his two sons were still fast asleep.

"Master, why don't we just show ourselves and go find them?" Xia Zheng asked softly beside me.

"Don't rush, let's see what Master Lu is up to first," I replied.

I want to see what method this Master Lu will use to awaken these Pei family members who are under my spell.

I stared intently at the scene inside through the second-floor window. I saw Master Lu take out a palm-sized bottle, which was pure black and exuded a cold aura.

Master Lu opened the bottle, and a wisp of red gas floated out. He placed the bottle opening under Pei Tianci and Pei Tianyao's noses, letting the red gas enter their nasal cavities.

"They'll wake up in less than three minutes," Master Lu said calmly, putting away the bottle.

Old Master Pei finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Master Lu. I knew that as long as Master Lu took action, the Pei family's problems would be easily resolved!"

My mother didn't say anything, but just lowered her head slightly, looking very cautious.

Five minutes later...

The two people lying on the ground showed no reaction whatsoever and remained asleep.

Master Lu, "..."

He, who had been calm and composed, gradually began to lose his composure.

Old Master Pei, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Master Lu, why hasn't my son woken up yet? Is something wrong?"

When Master Lu was questioned by Old Master Pei, he couldn't keep his composure any longer. He shot Old Master Pei a sharp look, which silenced him completely.

He placed the bottle under Pei Tianci and Pei Tianci's noses again, allowing more red gas to enter their nasal cavities.

"He will definitely wake up this time," Master Lu said with certainty.

With the most sincere hope in his eyes, Old Master Pei looked at Master Lu and said, "Master, I believe in you."

However, another five minutes later...

Pei Tianci and the other person still hadn't woken up.

Old Master Pei was getting anxious, and Master Lu was dumbfounded.

"Lu..." Old Master Pei was about to ask a question when Master Lu glared at him and stopped him.

He turned and went downstairs, then tried to wake up other unconscious people, but none of them woke up.

Master Lu finally lost his composure.

He looked at Old Master Pei, his eyes full of doubt, "Was everything you told me before the truth?"

Old Master Pei was taken aback. "Master Lu, what makes you say that? Everything I told you before was true."

"Ha!" Master Lu let out a cold laugh, pointing at the unconscious people. "I know your ancestors used methods involving living people to create Yin Wealth Ghosts, but you haven't told me the full details of how they were created. That's the key!"

"I...I don't know either, that's a matter for our parents' generation..." Old Master Pei paused for a moment before replying.

"You really don't know?" Master Lu narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Old Master Pei.

My mother spoke softly at this moment, "Dad, just tell us what you know. This matter concerns the fate of the entire Pei family. If everyone remains unconscious, our Pei family is finished."

"Such an important matter, your grandfather's generation must have left you something. Think about it carefully?"

Master Lu replied coldly, "Madam Pei is right, or perhaps she left some notes."

While they were talking, Xia Zheng and I jumped down from the wall, circled around outside, and re-entered Grandpa Pei's courtyard.

It has been confirmed that Master Lu poses no threat to me.

"Oh, everyone's here."

I stepped into the courtyard and greeted them with a smile.

When Grandpa Pei saw me, his face immediately darkened.

"Why are you here?"

I slowly walked towards them, smiling, and said, "Let me see if there's anything I can help you with."

I can't exactly say I came to see them make a fool of themselves, can I?
