I've died 47 times in this game, so I've decided to sell it.

I saw the night, I saw the cassia blossoms on the ground, and I saw this bamboo forest.

She was stunned for several seconds before the fragmented memories in her mind slowly began to reconnect.

"How did I end up lying on the ground?"

Who are you asking?

Qi Ye stood up and clapped her hands.

"When we came over, we saw you two lying here, one on each side, looking like you'd been killed in action."

Xingfa sent a message saying something terrible happened at Suiyuan; I thought you guys had been attacked and killed.

“Xing?” Li Sushang frowned. “I didn’t see her.”

"How did you get here?"

Li Sushang rubbed her temples, staring at the ground, trying to piece together the fragmented images in her mind.

"I remember now."

"I was dragged here to do this live stream by Xiao Guizi, and then... then I suddenly saw a ball of will-o'-the-wisp."

Qi Ye raised an eyebrow: "Will-o'-the-wisp?"

"Yes, it's one of those fireballs floating in mid-air that also makes a sound."

Li Sushang's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke.

"As the fireball drifted by, it was muttering something like 'What a terrible death...'"

The breath that had just been released on March 7th rose again, and he shrank back half a step towards Qi Ye:

"Don't scare me."

"I'm not kidding you! It's true!"

Li Sushang gripped the sword tightly in her hand, her face turning pale.

"The will-o'-the-wisp drifted closer and closer, then suddenly grew larger, became this big—"

She spread her arms and gestured.

"Such a huge blob! And then it came charging at me with a 'whoosh'! I was like—"

"You fainted?" Qi Ye asked.

Li Sushang swallowed hard and forced a smile.

"How could the Cloud Cavalry Sword Technique kill something invisible... I... I was normal!"

March 7th looked at her, then at Gui Naifen, who was still sitting on the ground rubbing her eyes:

"What about Gui Naifen? Did she also faint from fright?"

"Little Gui?" Li Sushang looked down at Gui Naifen.

"She never stood up from beginning to end."

Gui Naifen finally regained full consciousness and, upon hearing this, immediately raised her head defiantly:

"Who said that! I was squatting on the ground giving you a live stream!"

"live streaming?"

"Yup!"

Gui Naifen pulled out a small jade tablet, about the size of her palm, from her pocket. The screen was still lit up, and it was actually playing a video.

"Family members, I, Xiao Gui Zi, am currently in Suiyuan, the most terrifying and supernatural holy place on Luofu Mountain!"

Please like, follow, and share this post to give Xiao Guizi some courage!

In the video, Gui Naifen holds up the jade tablet and films it against the bamboo forest, with the camera swaying back and forth.

Li Sushang's figure appeared at the edge of the frame, gripping a sword in her hand, her face tense.

"I've heard that a lot of strange things have happened here recently..." Li Sushang's voice sounded weak in the video.

Gui Naifen's voice came from off-screen: "You're such a coward, you promised to protect me!"

"How can the Cloud Cavalry Sword Technique kill something invisible!"

Did something just run past?

"Don't panic... I'm here..."

Then the screen suddenly jolted, and a bluish light drifted past the camera.

The ball of light was small, about the size of a fist, and drifted slowly, with faint, intermittent whispers emanating from within:

"Waaaaah... I died so tragically..."

Gui Naifen's voice suddenly rose: "A ghost—!"

The screen shook violently, followed by chaos.

Li Sushang's sword flashed past the camera, and Gui Naifen cried out in alarm.

Li Sushang's shouts and the rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind were all mixed together.

The screen went black at the end, and the recording stopped.

Gui Naifen put the jade tablet away and looked at Qiye and Sanyueqi with a serious expression:

"Back then it was just a tiny flame, and it grew to be this big!"

"They approached us from that side, and then... oh no!" Su Chang collapsed.

Chapter 220 Something happened?

March 7th clung to Qiye's arm, refusing to let go: "Could there really be a ghost?"

Qi Ye glanced down at her, and this time her words weren't as frightening as before:

"Don't worry, I roughly know what this is. It's probably not a ghost, it's Suiyang."

"Suiyang?" March 7th looked up. "What's that?"

"Almost like a ghost."

March 7th paused for two seconds, then released his arm and punched him in the chest:

"Then what you're saying is pointless! Suiyang, Suiyang, in the end, you're still a ghost!"

"It's different. Suiyang is a kind of energy life, not something that a dead person transformed into."

Qi Ye wanted to say something, but seeing San Yueqi's disbelieving look, she knew she had to let this guy see it for himself.

We can only ask Li Sushang first.

"What did you see before you fainted?"

Li Sushang tried hard to recall:

"It seems... the fire got bigger, and there was something behind it, but I couldn't see it clearly."

Qi Ye thought for a moment, then shook her head, deciding not to dwell on it for now:

"Go find Xing and Uncle Yang first."

They must both be in Suiyuan too, and given Uncle Yang's personality, if anything happens to him, it'll definitely cause quite a commotion.

He looked at Li Sushang and Gui Naifen:

"When you two came in, did you hear anything besides that will-o'-the-wisp?"

For example, the sounds of fighting, explosions, or Uncle Yang's maniacal laughter?

Li Sushang and Gui Naifen exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat awkward.

"I...I didn't notice," Li Sushang said softly.

“I was too scared and forgot,” Gui Naifen added, speaking with conviction.

Qi Ye sighed helplessly and took out her phone:

"I'll try making a call first. Let's see if Xing's phone is out of battery or if something else has happened."

He had just raised his phone and hadn't even had a chance to dial when a phone rang from deep within the bamboo forest.

Qiye and Sanyueqi both raised their heads at the same time and looked in that direction.

"Over there!" March 7th called out.

Qi Ye had already taken a step and rushed out.

March 7th followed closely behind, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the path deep in the bamboo forest.

Li Sushang stood there, looking in the direction where the two had disappeared, her legs feeling a little weak again.

She looked down at the sword in her hand, then at Gui Naifen, who had already stood up beside her.

"Should we... join in or not?"

Without saying a word, Gui Naifen grabbed her arm.

"Of course we'll follow! Boss, wait for us! Don't leave us behind!"

"Let go! I can walk by myself!"

"No! What if that will-o'-the-wisp comes back? If you faint, I'll have to drag you along!"

"Can you even move it?!"

The two bickered and stumbled after him.

A fork in the path ahead through the bamboo grove. Qi Ye chose the left path, and the path beneath her feet became narrower and narrower as she walked.

After passing through the last row of bamboo, the view suddenly opened up.

It was a small courtyard paved with bluestone slabs, with an old tree in the middle that was half withered.

The courtyard was surrounded by a corridor, behind which were several brightly lit rooms.

Xing's ridiculous cell phone ringtone was coming from the innermost room, buzzing incessantly.

Qi Ye stopped and looked around.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary in the courtyard, except for a few clumps of weeds growing in the cracks between the stone slabs.

The railings of the corridor were covered in dust, indicating that no one had been here for a long time.

But the windows of those rooms were lit, and the dim yellow light shone through the window paper, casting a warm glow in the courtyard.

"Is Xing inside?" March 7th leaned closer and whispered.

"I don't know, but the phone is here, which means I've at least been here."

Qi Ye walked to the house and pushed open the door.

It wasn't very big inside; it looked like a side hall that people used to rest in.

A cell phone sits on a low table in the center, its screen still lit, and the ringtone is coming from it.

Qi Ye walked over and picked it up; the chat interface was displayed on the screen.

The recipient was himself, and the message stopped after typing the four words "Uncle Yang actually".

"The incident happened halfway through the fight with Xing."

He turned the phone over to look at it; there was no damage to the back, and the screen wasn't broken.

Judging from the appearance, he was suddenly interrupted and didn't have time to finish sending the message.

"Where is she?"

On March 7th, I walked around the house and looked out the back window.

Outside the window was a larger courtyard, and the outlines of several houses could be vaguely seen in the distance.

At this moment, Li Sushang and Gui Naifen finally arrived.

The two stood at the door, panting, with Gui Naifen still holding Li Sushang's arm.

Qi Ye turned around and asked:
