When Fu Changsheng was in seclusion.
A strange incident occurred at the Fu Family.
One morning.
After sending Brother Fan to Moon Academy, Nanny Liuu returned to the backyard and saw that Brother Rong’s room was still tightly shut. She couldn’t help but frown:
"Qiu Niang is really sothing; it’s already this hour, and yet she hasn’t woken Brother Rong up."
Speaking to herself.
Nanny Liuu took a few quick steps.
Without knocking, she directly reached out to push open the left wing room. The door opened, but the bedroom’s mosquito net was still intact, clearly showing that the caregiver Qiu Niang was still sleeping in.
Nanny Liuu felt a sudden surge of anger.
Brother Rong was weak; although he didn’t need to go to the academy, normally a master would co to teach him at ho. Estimating that the master would soon arrive at the outer courtyard study, Brother Rong still hadn’t woken up yet. There would be no ti for breakfast and he would be late for his lesson, which is not a good habit:
"Qiu Niang, what ti is it? Wake up!"
Nanny Liuu advanced and lifted the bed canopy.
Yet what she saw frightened her so much that her knees started to tremble.
It appeared that Qiu Niang on the bed had already passed away, seemingly scared to death, and Brother Rong was nowhere to be found:
"Sothing major has happened!"
Nanny Liuu’s heart raced rapidly.
She turned hurriedly and ran outside, forgetting about etiquette, and rushed directly into the discussion hall where Liuu izhen was discussing preparation work for constructing the Earth Fire room with the stewards. Seeing Nanny Liuu enter with a pale face, Liuu izhen’s heart skipped a beat.
Nanny Liuu had been with her for decades.
But she had never seen such a panicked expression from the other person.
Imdiately she gestured:
"Stewards, please prepare according to what I’ve just said."
"Yes, Lady of the House."
The group responded and withdrew.
Nanny Liuu couldn’t wait for Liuu izhen to set up the array and impatiently sent a ssage:
"Madam, please move to the backyard!"
Sothing happened in the backyard?
Liuu izhen’s mind turned quickly.
Yaoyao and Jade Lotus had been staying at Moon Lake for the past few days.
Brother Fan had just finished breakfast with her this morning and gone to study; aside from him, only her second son Brother Rong was in the backyard. Brother Rong was weak, so he usually woke up later than them. Could sothing have happened to Brother Rong?
Liuu izhen’s body flickered, instantly using the Light Body Technique, her body swiftly flashing several tis, returning quickly to the backyard. She saw the left wing room door was wide open.
She entered.
Lifting the bed canopy to look.
There was no Brother Rong on the bed, just the corpse of the caregiver:
"Brother Rong...."
Liuu izhen felt her legs turn weak.
Nanny Liuu, who arrived a step too late, hurriedly supported her, quickly saying:
"Madam, after sending Brother Fan to Moon Academy, I saw the left wing room door was shut tight, and when I opened it, Brother Rong was already gone."
Liuu izhen forced herself to calm down.
She carefully examined Qiu Niang’s corpse, imdiately seeing that it was caused by so magical creature sucking her essence blood. Then, she thoroughly checked every corner of the room but found no clue.
At that mont, she waved her sleeve.
The big bed moved outward.
Under the bed.
A small hole suddenly appeared before her eyes.
Liuu izhen’s pupils shrank:
"Nanny, activate the backyard array imdiately, and send my order: No one from the clan may leave the Clan Mountain without my permission, not even a step, hurry!"
"Yes, madam."
"Hold on," Liuu izhen stopped Nanny Liuu: "Nanny, until the matter of Brother Rong is clearly investigated, no word of it may be leaked."
Nanny Liuu accepted and went.
Liuu izhen slapped an Earth Escape Talisman onto herself, a yellow light enveloped her body, and in an instant, she slipped down through the hole into the earth.
Following the winding, twisting small tunnel forward.
.....
Moon Lake.
After breakfast, Chen Dazhu leisurely stepped out, intending to check the spawning condition of Bailing Fish in Moon Lake. Currently, his status in the Fu Family was no longer that of a hired farr, but he was promoted to Steward of the Spirit Plant Hall, with several Qi Cultivation Disciples under his command.
Such good days.
He wouldn’t have dared to dream of before.
Just after leaving the courtyard.
He saw the sixth disciple, who should have been weeding in the Spirit Field, running past with a panicked face. Chen Dazhu said casually:
"I say, Yongheng, why are you in such a rush early in the morning? Have you had breakfast? If not, there’s still a portion left with your master; this morning is Red Marrow Rice porridge, very nutritious."
Fu Yongfu, due to running hurriedly or perhaps truly frightened, flailed his arms and legs, trying to say sothing but failing to make a sound, constantly pointing towards Moon Lake.
Chen Dazhu was influenced by him.
His heart skipped a beat.
Could sothing really have happened?
He panicked imdiately, turned around, and ran back to the courtyard, shouting:
"Old woman, co out quick, sothing’s happened, sothing major!"
"What’s all the yelling!"
Fairy Lady Cai kicked the ground and ca out from the main hall, first glaring at Chen Dazhu, then calmly casting a few Daoist Techniques on Fu Yongfu, who ca to report.
Only then did Fu Yongfu catch his breath.
As if the sky was falling, he said:
"Master, please go check Moon Lake, sothing major has happened!"
Before his words finished.
Fairy Lady Cai’s body flashed several tis, quickly speeding to the lakeside.
When she saw the situation in the lake.
Her vision went black as well.
Following closely behind, Chen Dazhu saw the scene before him, trembling like he was sieving:
"This....what on earth happened? Last night when I fed them, the Bailing Fish in the lake were fine. How did they turn into a pile of white bones overnight?"
"Old woman, what do we do now? There are tens of thousands of Bailing Fish here; even if the two of us sell our lives, we can’t repay this!"
He had just been promoted to Steward a few days earlier.
Unexpectedly.
As soon as the good days began, imdiately ca this catastrophic disaster:
