The revelation from Ling Mozi caused a flicker of surprise in the eyes of Mrs. Ye Sr. and others.
Mrs. Ye Sr. said, âBut Master Crescentâs analysis wasnât wrong. We did find the cursed objects under Rong Qiâs bed, and the crows lingering in the sky above our house, arenât these all ominous signs?â
âExactly, you claim Iâm a fraud, then how do you explain this?â
Crescent extended a box toward Ling Mozi, his face now devoid of its previous kindness, looking more sinister and twisted.
Ling Mozi glanced at it dismissively, âJust an ordinary trinket. What does it prove?â
âMaster Zenith, donât be fooled by the exterior of this wooden box. Inside lies a blood-stained effigy with my birthdate and details on it. Iâ¦â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As Mrs. Ye Sr. spoke, she clutched her chest in distress.
âOh? Since you donât believe my words, why not open it and see for yourself?â
âWouldnât opening it release the evil spirit?â
âAccording to you, isnât the alleged jinx sitting right here? What evil spirit could she not suppress?â Rong Qi said, her voice tinged with a hint of laughter, causing those who doubted her to blush in embarrassment.
Grinding his teeth, Crescent said, âFine, you all wanted to see it, donât blame me for opening it.â
He opened the wooden box, âSee! Didnât I tell you thereâs an evil object inside?â
He looked triumphantly at Ling Mozi.
The crowd, initially afraid to look, were shocked upon seeing the contents.
âThis⦠isnât this the root carving Master Ye gave to Madam Qi?â
âWhat? A root carving? Impossible!â
Crescent took the object out, his face turning ashen, âH-how could it be a root carving?â
Xiao Yueâs eyes widened in disbelief. She thought, âImpossible! I had placed something else inside. How could it have changed?â
Suddenly, Xiao Yue turned to look at Rong Qi, who was slightly smirking, realizing she had been tricked.
She collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably. This time, she was genuinely scared. She knew Ye Nanshen wouldnât let her off.
Mrs. Ye Sr. and Madam Liu couldnât believe what they were seeing. They were speechless for a long time.
Rong Qiâs face lit up with a smile, âGrandpa, they said your gift was an evil omen.â
Old Master Ye cooperated, barking angrily, âOh, so the gift I gave is ominous, is it? Who gave you the audacity!â
âNo, itâs notâ¦â Madam Liu and others wanted to argue but had no grounds to do so.
Mrs. Ye Sr.âs face darkened, âEven if this is not an issue, what about the crows above their rooftop? Why do they keep circling precisely there? It canât be that Ye Rong is about to die, and the crows are drawn by the scent, can it?â
Mrs. Ye Sr.âs words almost made Madam Su explode with anger.
Madam Su retorted, âYe Rong is your grandson too, why curse him?â
But Mrs. Ye Sr. wasnât in the mood to battle with Madam Su and just pointed to the crows above Ye Nanshenâs quarter, insisting stubbornly.
However, three seconds later, the crows suddenly flew away, all heading toward Ye Shaochenâs rooftop.
Circling above Ye Shaochenâs rooftop, their cawing sounded eerie.
Mrs. Ye Sr. and Madam Liu nearly choked in shock.
âWhatâs happening?â
âWhy did the crows suddenly leave, and why did they go to Master Shaochenâs rooftop?â
Ye Nanshenâs lips curled into a smirk, laughing mockingly, lounging back in his chair, âSeems like Iâm not the only bane of the Ye family. What goes around, comes around..â
