An Xiaoning did not know exactly how many human skulls were hung on the wall. But, from her estimate, there were at least enough to belong to five hundred people.

She and Xiao Bai entered the room and searched every corner of it. At last, they found a thick paper notebook.

Even though she had only seen the first page of the notebook, she knew something important must have been recorded inside.

Just as they left the room, as An Xiaoning had expected, the old fellow was struggling arduously on the ground and was reaching out his hand to pull out the knife on his throat.

An Xiaoning took out yet another dagger and directly plunged it into his heart. In an instant, the old fellow stopped moving again.

“Sis, he’s probably dead, right?”

“Not sure. He could be dead or still alive.”

She then pulled out the two daggers from the old fellow, wiped them, and then put them away properly.

Thereafter, An Xiaoning took out two talismans from her pocket and pasted one each on the elder and the young lady’s heads. Puzzled, Xiao Bai asked, “Sis, what does this do?”

“It prevents their souls from lingering after death. After dying, some successfully avoid the grim reaper and continue to harm the human realm. With this talisman, there won’t be any possibility of that happening.”

When Fan Shixin returned to meet them, the wooden house was already engulfed in flames.

The grandfather and granddaughter pair was buried amongst these raging flames.

The sky was pitch dark and the flames were leaping to the sky.

It was bound to attract people.

The three took their luggage and speedily left the place.

They had nowhere else to go, so they went to a nearby mountain and watched the flames from a distance away with a pair of binoculars.

When the huge flames were on the verge of burning out, a group of people rushed to the scene.

“Can you see clearly who those people are?”

An Xiaoning shook her head. “I can’t, but there’s quite a lot of them.”

“Will they come and find us?” Xiao Bai could not help but get worried.

“Don’t know, let’s wait and see.” She narrowed her eyes and continued to investigate. “Shixin, was there anything unusual about that watermelon field?”

“You were right. Underneath the field, there are bodies buried, and they are all headless.”

“No wonder the vegetables and fruits in that field could grow so well without any fertilizer — the dead bodies were the fertilizer. Xiao Bai and I went to check the old fellow’s room. There were at least five hundred human skulls hung inside. We also found a notebook.”

Xiao Bai took out the notebook. “Look, this is the one.”

Fan Shixin flipped through it and remarked, “There are so many names in this notebook. Don’t tell me they’re all the people the old fellow had killed?”

“Not necessarily. When we entered, he didn’t ask for our names. Moreover, does he have to record the names of the people who have died to keep a record of his victory? I don’t think so.”

“Then... could these people be those that rushed in just now?”

“Maybe.” An Xiaoning did not stop observing the place from a distance. “They don’t have any intention of leaving the main gate.”

“That’s great. We can stay here for the night.” Fan Shixin scratched his elbow and muttered, “It’s just that there’re too many mosquitoes here. They’re biting me all over.”

“Speaking of that, is that old fellow a vampire?” Xiao Bai thought of the movies and television dramas he had watched, and he further saw the similarities. “Other than the fact that he doesn’t have any fangs, every other thing seems to point to it.”

“He’s not,” An Xiaoning expressed in a confident tone. “It can be easily seen from the fact that he doesn’t suck human blood directly. Moreover, vampires can rarely be exposed to sunlight. Sunlight is the vampires’ natural enemy, and the old fellow wouldn’t have been able to withstand it no matter how powerful he was. As to who exactly he was, it’s still not clear yet.”

“That’s right,” Fan Shixin chimed in. “He’s definitely not a vampire.”

“Sis, are there vampires in this world?” Xiao Bai asked curiously. “I once saw a film about vampires and even researched them online. It said that there are indeed vampires overseas.”

“I believe so, although I haven’t seen one before.” Her tone suddenly changed as she added, “There are plenty of unbelievable things in this world that can’t be explained by science. Sometimes, there aren’t even any explanations for them at all. Even though we haven’t seen them and the news hasn’t reported about cases of them, it doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. Just like this old fellow. Logically speaking, most people will collapse, if not die, after a gunshot to their head and a dagger to their throat. But look at how it was for him. Xiao Bai, you saw it too. After a short time, he could actually wake up again. We never knew such people existed. No wonder he could kill so many people.”

“Sis...” Xiao Bai recalled the scene on the upper floor of the wooden house and couldn’t help but still shudder at the thought as he asked, “How did you kick him so far away? It was simply incredible.”

Fan Shixin passed him the fast food. “Why are you asking so many questions for? Don’t ask so much about Master’s affairs. Eat your food.”

Although he was curious as well, if it was something that even his Young Sir did not mention, it was something not for others to know. As an underling, one had to be sensible.

Xiao Bai hurriedly took the food and started eating quietly.

After he’d had his fill, he took An Xiaoning’s binoculars and started his turn to observe the house.

Tonight, the three were to stay a night on this mountain.

As they had two luggage and a bag, they had a hard time carrying these belongings. After An Xiaoning and Fan Shixin had discussed, they decided they were to each keep only a set of clothes and lay the rest on the floor. They were not to bring any shoes either and would throw them away. That way, they could at least reduce the weight of one whole luggage.

They would then be left with only one luggage and a bag.

“According to what we had agreed on, I’ve already returned to the Gu family. So, why haven’t you returned to the Lin family to restore relations with your parents?” Gu Dongcheng’s tone was full of dissatisfaction. “Are you insincere about working with me?”

Lin Mingyuan replied unhurriedly, “I’m returning home today. When I broke ties with my parents back then, I said a lot of harsh things. So, during this time, I’ve been thinking of how to go back.”

“No matter what you said, your parents won’t bear a grudge against you. Back then, my stepmother chased me and Youran out, but I was still thick-skinned enough to apologize to my father. Eventually, my father didn’t say anything much either. Parents and their children don’t have ever-lasting feuds.” Gu Dongcheng was somewhat impatient. “I hope you can hurry up and not delay it anymore. If you’re insincere about it, I won’t wait anymore.”

“Mr. Gu, what are you impatient about? Haven’t you been unable to find a new master either? You doubt my sincerity, and I also doubt your skills. You’ve been trying to find a master for three to five days already and have still achieved no progress. What’s the point in hurrying me?”

“I knew you would say that. The reason I’m meeting you is to tell you this good news. I’ve already found a master. However, I can’t introduce you yet because I still haven’t seen your sincerity. I’ll show you the master when you prove your sincerity.”

Lin Mingyuan narrowed her eyes. “Really?”

“I have no reason to lie to you.”

Lin Mingyuan widened her smile. “Alright, I’ll go home today.”

“My sister-in-law’s pregnancy is still in its early stages. It’s better to act early. I heard An Xiaoning isn’t in S Nation right now. Do you get what I’m saying?”
