Chapter 302: Chapter 303: Peach Wood Can Ward Off Evil and Avoid Misfortune
The Mayor’s facial muscles suddenly twitched twice.
He heh-hehed, “She did kill the four people who found her body back then. However, why she wanted to kill them, I don’t know.”
Su Yan pressed further, “Were there only four people who found her body that year?”
“…Yes.”
“In that case, she shouldn’t be killing anyone this year.
But from what she told , it seems she still plans to kill soone.
That suggests there weren’t just four people who discovered her body back then, but five.”
Seeing the Mayor’s complexion change again, Su Yan continued,
“Also, she told she has been greatly wronged. I wonder if the Mayor knows about her grievance?”
“Ah.” The Mayor seed sowhat startled, a quick flash of panic crossing his eyes.
And his strange expression did not escape the attention of the few people present.
Just as the Mayor was unsure how to respond, the butler ca in to report, “Master, the peach tree you requested has been delivered.”
The Mayor imdiately stood up, smiling apologetically to them,
“Ladies and gentlen, please excuse for a mont, continue with your al. If you need anything, just tell my butler, and he will take good care of everyone.”
It was then that Xiao Tan spoke up,
“I hear that peach wood can ward off evil and avoid calamities, I wonder if the Mayor seeks the peach tree for this purpose?”
The Mayor’s eyelids gave a slight twitch, then he chuckled,
“So peach trees have this effect, I have learned sothing new. My quest for peach trees is rely because I like the tree and wanted to plant so around my residence.
However, considering Wuyu Town has always been haunted, using it to secure the house wouldn’t be a bad idea.”
After a pause, he continued, “Well then, please excuse .”
“No need for formalities, Mayor, go ahead with your tasks,” Su Yan waved cheerfully at him.
The Mayor smiled again before turning to leave.
Once he had departed, the group had no appetite left for food, told the butler they were heading to Princess Mountain, and left the Mayor’s residence.
Arriving once more atop Princess Mountain, they stopped at the place where they had rested the day before.
After a long wait, sure enough, they awaited Old Man Qiao descending the mountain.
