Yi Jixuan also looked puzzled: "Then is there a ghost in this house?"
Lian smiled quietly, looking at the red maple, green bamboo, rockery and jade lake in front of her. Suddenly, she saw two figures in the green forest. She smiled and said, "The people who can help you find ghosts are here."
Yi Jixuan looked in the direction that Lian Youyou was looking at, and saw the Fu brothers walking on the stone path in the bamboo forest. Coincidentally, the Fu brothers also looked up, and Yi Jixuan immediately waved to them, and they stood in the forest and responded to him from afar.
Lian sat steadily and leisurely on the armchair, her crossed legs swaying leisurely, with a kind of leisurely manner like that of a Taoist priest fishing, waiting for anyone to take the bait.
In the forest, Fu Mingsui stopped Fu Mingrui who was about to continue walking, with hesitation in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Fu Mingrui saw it and asked Fu Mingsu: "Brother, just speak frankly."
Fu Mingsu pursed his lips, and looked at Lian Youyou's back in the attic, then turned back to look at Fu Mingrui: "Second brother, do you really like that Miss Lian?"
Fu Mingrui's face immediately turned red, and he turned away in panic: "Brother, don't make fun of me and Miss Lian again!"
Fu Mingsu saw Fu Mingrui's expression and understood what was going on. He sighed and thought for a moment before speaking, "You originally liked Miss Lian, and I agree. I also think Miss Lian is very smart and different from ordinary women. She can be your confidante and help you solve the case."
Fu Mingsui's words made Fu Mingrui's face, which he turned away, reveal a smile involuntarily, which he himself was not aware of.
“But after the incident with the luminous cup, I feel that this Miss Lian… is a bit evil.” Fu Mingsui looked at Fu Mingrui’s back worriedly.
The word "evil" made the smile on Fu Mingrui's face disappear, and a sense of displeasure inexplicably arose in his heart.
"Second brother, you'd better stay away from Lian Youyou. If there is a case that concerns her, you need to be more careful." Fu Mingsui patted Fu Mingrui on the back, his eyes unable to hide his concern for Fu Mingrui's safety.
Fu Mingrui's face darkened. Lian Youyou was not evil, but was really able to communicate with gods. Fu Mingrui knew that Fu Mingsu was worried because he didn't know the truth, and he was doing it for his own good.
He suppressed his unhappiness, turned around and gave Fu Mingrui a reassuring smile: "Thank you for your reminder and concern, I will be careful." After that, Fu Mingrui turned around and strode forward. The neat back made Fu Mingrui's heart shrouded in a haze.
Under the pavilion, Lian glanced at the figures of Fu Mingrui and Fu Mingsu, one in front and one behind, and looked up at Hei Yan who was lying on the roof. Hei Yan narrowed his eyes at her, his fierce expression full of resentment.
She couldn't help but smile, this guy was still mad at her.
There were hurried footsteps at the stairs. Yi Jixuan went to greet them. Fu Mingsui and Fu Mingrui went upstairs one after another. The three were a little surprised to see each other.
"Ming Su, Ming Rui, why are you here?" Yi Jixuan asked the Fu brothers in confusion.
However, they both glanced at Lian Youyou who was sitting on the corridor outside the house, and then looked away.
Fu Mingrui held the scroll in his hand and explained, "I came to Miss Lian to hand over a case."
"Ji Xuan, this house... why don't we change it?" Fu Mingsu looked at Yi Ji Xuan with concern.
Yi Jixuan was slightly surprised: "Ming Su knew that there was a ghost here today? Did it spread so quickly?"
When Yi Jixuan said this, Fu Mingsu and Fu Mingrui were both shocked and exclaimed in unison: "Haunted?!"
Yi Jixuan looked at their expressions and seemed to be unaware that the place was haunted today, so why did they ask him to give up the house
The three of them looked at each other in confusion for a moment.
Fat Buddha stood beside Lian Youyou, leaning down with a sly look in his eyes: "Master Lian, take a look at the painting in Fu Mingrui's hand." When Fat Buddha came up from Fu Mingrui, he felt that the scroll was a little weird, and it made his back cold.
Lian Youyou didn't look at the painting, but stared at Fu Mingsuo. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and immediately, the world changed abruptly, yin and yang merged, and the seven colors dissipated. In her eyes, everything became black and white, but around Fu Mingsuo's body, there was a wisp of bright and distinct red blood.
"It's my fault." Fu Mingsu looked self-blaming, "Mingrui, this house is actually the former residence of the owner of this painting, Taoist Huangshan."
Fu Mingrui was surprised: "It's here!" Fu Mingrui looked around, and an extremely delicate and exquisite painting desk came into his sight. There were all the four treasures of the study on it, and there were several scrolls in the painting basket next to it, as if the Taoist priest Huangshan was painting here yesterday and had never left.
Fu Mingsui looked at Yi Jixuan again: "Jixuan, my second brother took on a case today. It is related to the paintings of Taoist Huangshan. The whole case is very strange and weird. In addition, there are rumors that this place is haunted. I still think it is safer to move this house."
After hearing this, Yi Jixuan laughed: "Ming Su, you forgot that what I want to buy is a tomb. So, I asked Miss Lian to come over to exorcise the evil spirits." Yi Jixuan pointed to Lian Youyou who was outside the door.
Lian Youyou raised her lips and smiled at Fu Mingsui, and the look in her beautiful eyes suddenly became sharp, as if she could see through Fu Mingsui's mind in an instant, seeing him thoroughly and clearly, without any secrets hidden.
Fu Mingsu and Fu Mingrui went to the Nine Gates early in the morning, but they found nothing. Only Guan Ye was left in the Nine Gates. Guan Ye told them that Lian Youyou was invited by a man named Yi to exorcise evil spirits. Guan Ye's words also surprised them. They didn't expect Yi Jixuan to invite Lian Youyou to the new house to exorcise evil spirits so soon.
Somehow, it seemed as if someone had tied them and these two cases together.
Fu Mingrui walked towards Lian Youyou: "Miss Lian, I have a case to transfer to your Ninth Gate." Fu Mingrui handed over the scroll.
Lian looked at him leisurely, stretched out her hand, held the scroll, turned it in her hand, raised her lips and smiled at Fu Mingrui: "You want to save money."
Fu Mingrui looked embarrassed.
Lian Youyou handed the scroll to the fat Buddha beside her, and her every move revealed the straightforwardness and shrewdness of a businessman: "Okay, that's perfect, I'll hand over this case to you as well."
Fu Mingrui was stunned and looked at Lian Youyou: "What's the case here?"
Lian Youyou looked at Yi Jixuan and Fu Mingsuo in the room and said, "Hey, I think we may be investigating the same case. Why don't we all try to sort out the clues?"
Yi Jixuan, Fu Mingsuo, and Fu Mingrui looked at each other, perhaps puzzled, or pondering, or thinking that it was feasible. Then, they each brought out a stool and sat around Lian Youyou.
Lian Youyou spoke like a presiding judge: "This house belongs to the owner of this painting. Today, Mr. Yi said that the house was haunted and asked me to exorcise the evil spirit. Then, Sir Fu, why do you have this painting?" Lian Youyou turned to look at Fu Mingrui.
Fu Mingrui glanced at Yi Jixuan and felt a little hesitant.
"Brother, it's okay. Ji Xuan has probably encountered more strange things than you and me, so he won't be scared." Fu Mingsu reminded Fu Mingrui, "Today's two cases are indeed connected because of Taoist Huangshan. It's better for everyone to tell us what they know, which will help solve the case." Fu Mingsu signaled Fu Mingrui that he didn't need to avoid Ji Xuan. Since the two cases were connected, everyone should share the clues they knew, so that the case could be solved faster.
