Chapter 268: Jiang Jingyu Is Becoming a Ghost

The next day, it actually rained.

After Tang Li got up, she stood under the eaves and reached out her hand to play with the rain. Qi Yihan was worried that she would catch a cold, so he draped a long-sleeved jacket over her.

Tang Li said to Qi Yihan, “I feel like something will happen today.”

“Yes.” Qi Yihan knew that Tang Li’s intuition was accurate, so he asked, “To the Jiang family?”

“Right.”

After saying that, Tang Li retracted her hand and sighed. “I didn’t expect it to rain today. This rain came very suddenly.”

“Should we go to the Jiang family to take a look?”

“Yes, but I want to go to their ancestral hall.”

“Alright, we’ll go after dinner.”

After the two of them finished eating, Qi Yihan walked to the Jiang family with Tang Li, holding a black umbrella in his hand.

Because of the rain, there were not many people on the road. The rain hit the leaves and fell to the ground, creating puddles and splashing onto Tang Li and Qi Yihan’s shoes.

Tang Li was wearing a pair of white loose pants today. After a while, it was covered in water. “Luckily, there’s no mud here. Otherwise, my pants would be dirty.”

After saying that, she raised her pants up with both hands.

Concerned, Qi Yihan asked her, “Do you want a piggyback ride?”

“No.” Tang Li looked around and held his arm. She smiled and said, “I like to walk in the rain with you.”

Qi Yihan pulled her closer to him, and tilted the umbrella towards her side.

As the two of them walked on the road, people could not help but look at them.

They walked for nearly half an hour before arriving near the Jiang family. Unexpectedly, there were many people gathered at the entrance of the Jiang family, and there were actually some familiar people among them.

“Aren’t they the grandparents and aunts who gossiped with us yesterday?”

“Yeah.”

The two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the entrance.

As soon as they arrived, they heard people discussing.

“What’s wrong with the Jiang family? They never believed in masters. Why did they invite a master so early in the morning today?”

“It wasn’t the Jiang family who invited him. It was the Tang family who invited him. This morning, I saw the Tang family’s young master bring a master with him. At that time, the Jiang family didn’t allow the master to enter. Young Master Tang said that if the master wasn’t allowed to enter, he would immediately break the engagement.”

“Ha! What is Young Master Tang doing? Isn’t that threat a bit too much since he and Miss Jiang are getting married tomorrow?”

“Who knows? But Mr. Jiang agreed to let the master in. This proves that the Jiang family really wants to marry Third Miss Jiang off.”

…

Hearing that, Tang Li and Qi Yihan looked at each other and walked straight towards them.

Tang Li frowned and said to Qi Yihan, “I’ll go in and take a look now. Find a place to hide from the rain and wait for me.”

Qi Yihan nodded and the two of them walked to the side. When they reached a place where no one was watching, Tang Li entered the Jiang family with a talisman.

At this moment, the interior of the house was already decorated in a festive manner. However, because of the sudden rain, many of the red lanterns hanging outside were wet, and some even fell to the ground, making the house look like a desolate place.

At this moment, everyone was gathered outside the ancestral hall in the backyard of the Jiang family with solemn expressions.

In front of them was a Taoist priest wearing a robe and holding a compass.

The Taoist priest looked at the compass as he walked back and forth by the door of the ancestral hall, muttering something.

Tang Li turned invisible and stood beside the crowd. Her gaze swept across the group of people before finally looking at Tang Feng, who was standing there.

Tang Feng frowned with a complicated expression, clenching his fists and muttering to himself, “I’m sorry. In order to make her marry me, I have to send you away.”

At this moment, Mrs. Jiang, who was standing beside him, crossed her fingers and said to the ancestral hall with a trembling voice, “Ancestor, don’t blame us. Since you said that you’re leaving tonight, it doesn’t matter if you leave early or later. But my daughter can’t wait anymore. If you don’t leave now, she will definitely not let it go. I hope you can forgive us for being rude.”

“We got a master to send you off. Don’t worry, we’ll go to the temple to get a Buddhist to chant the scriptures for you so that you can be reborn into a good family.”

Mr. Jiang, who was standing beside Mrs. Jiang, looked at the ancestral hall with a straight face without uttering a word.

At that moment, the Taoist priest stopped. Before Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang could react, Tang Feng quickly took a step forward and asked anxiously, “Master, did you send him away?”

The Taoist priest looked at the compass in his hand with a solemn expression. In the next second, he suddenly covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

At the sight of his blood, everyone was taken aback.

“Master, what’s happening?”

“Did something happen?”

The Taoist priest shouted, “Watch out! He’s about to go evil. Everyone, retreat.”

“What!?”

The Taoist priest quickly put away the compass, took out a few talismans, and threw them into the ancestral hall.

However, when the talisman approached the door, it turned into ashes.

At this moment, a strong wind blew in the courtyard and a dark cloud covered the sky.

Such a strange scene immediately frightened everyone. The others who were standing at the side screamed and panicked, fleeing out in panic.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang’s legs were so weak that they couldn’t move at all.

Tang Fei’s expression changed as well. He quickly shouted at the master, “Master, do something to stop him!”

The Taoist priest took out another talisman and quickly chanted an incantation.

A ball of evil spirit gushed out from the door and sent the people flying a few meters away.

They were thrown to the ground. Then, a man in a military uniform from the old days walked out with a murderous aura.

The man’s eyes were red and he looked like a malicious ghost.

He looked at the few people on the ground, holding a gun in his hand. He said with a voice that made people shudder, “All of you… deserve to die!”

With that, he pulled the trigger.

What shot out from the gun was not a bullet, but a ball of thick evil spirit. Wherever the evil spirit went, the air around seemed to be torn apart, and it charged at them with an apocalyptic aura.

The people who fell there widened their eyes in fear and despair.

At this moment, a heavenly voice suddenly echoed through the air. “Think carefully. If you kill someone, all your previous efforts will be in vain. From now on, you will never meet her again.”

As soon as the voice finished speaking, the evil spirit that was about to hit the people stopped in front of them.

The man turned to look at the gentle and beautiful girl who had appeared out of nowhere with an oil paper umbrella.

The girl was wearing a dress from the old days. The earring on her ear swayed as she walked, and her pink dress was touching the puddle of water, but she didn’t mind. She smiled sweetly at the man before calling him gently, “Brother Jingyu.”
