“I don’t know about ghosts, but I saw a bad actor.” Ji Jing’s lips curled into a smile and she said faintly,” Right in front of me. Ji Xun, stop acting. You’re not suitable for this kind of show. If it was Ji Ying, you would still have some credibility.”

Ji Jing looked at Ji Xun with a gaze that could see through everything. As soon as she started suspecting him, the more she looked at Ji Xun, the more she felt that something was wrong.

“When did I act? I really haven’t been here for many years. Besides, can’t I be afraid of something? Other people are afraid of snakes and insects, but I’m most afraid of this dark forest!” Ji Xun’s mouth stiffened. He tried to defend himself, but when he turned around, he met Ji Jing’s eyes. There were only five words written in her eyes: ” Do you think I believe you?”

“Alright then…” Ji Xun shrugged and finally put away his exaggerated acting.

“Why did you lie to me?” Ji Jing looked at Ji Xun.” Just to trick me into listening to your stories? If you don’t tell the truth, you’re so close to Ji Ying, so you should have heard about the consequences, right?”

Ji Jing smiled as she clenched her fingers.

No way! Was there even a need to fight? Ji Xun nodded honestly.

“What about the black hand? Is it also fake?” Ji Jing continued to ask, but she could guess from Ji Xun’s expression that he was just lucky to have bumped into her.

“That was a bedtime story that Big Brother used to make up to scare people. All of us brothers have been deceived before…” Ji Xun smiled awkvvardly.” It’s a family tradition, haha.”

She didn’t want to experience any family tradition at all! Ji Ling was so serious that he actually made up such a ghost story as a bedtime story?

Ji Jing was speechless. He was so lucky that he happened to bump into her when she was puzzled by the pair of black hands.

As long as she thought about it carefully, Ji Xun’s words were full of flaws. She was too concerned about the nightmare that was only half left, so she happened to be deceived by Ji Xun and delayed the doll just to come to this broken forest to listen to Ji Xun’s story.

Ji Jing almost wanted to turn around and leave.

“You’re already here!” Ji Xun saw through Ji Jing’s plan and quickly pulled her back.” Ghosthand is fake, but the commission I mentioned is real! If I really want to come here to get a painting, you can protect me in. That one million yuan is not a small sum!”

Ji Jing glanced at the manor that she could vaguely see the front door and estimated the time. Even if she walked back now, she wouldn’t have enough time to go to the doll.

. Let’s go!” Ji Jing sighed and continued walking forward.

Ji Xun rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, he reacted quickly!

Just as Ji Xun had said, this old manor had not been visited for many years.

Even though the Ji family would hire people to clean it every year, it was inevitable that a thin layer of dust would accumulate.

“Cough, cough, cough…” Ji Xun choked and covered his nose with one hand and waved the dust in front of him with the other. The light from the flashlight swept across the interior of the manor with his movements.

Ji Jing saw a few demons and monsters fleeing in all directions to avoid the light.

It was inevitable for this to happen in an empty place, but other than that, there was nothing unusual.

“The art studio should be on the second floor…We haven’t been here for too many years. I only remember a rough idea of the exact location.” Ji Xun suggested.

“Hmm? Isn’t it your own painting?” Ji Jing was a little surprised. Ji Xun didn’t seem to be that familiar with her.

‘ No, it’s Ji Xuan’s painting.” Ji Xun shook his head and said,” This was his former home.’

As Ji Xun spoke, he glanced at Ji Jing without batting an eyelid, unsure if he should continue.

“Tell me, what story do you want to tell me?” Ji Jing sighed. What kind of key story is it that you want me to know?”

She had given up. Even if she didn’t want to hear it, the Ji family would still chase after her. Would it change anything after he finished?

Ji Jingxin said that it was impossible.

Ji Xun heaved a sigh of relief. Since Ji Jing was willing to listen, he opened up and said,” Let’s talk about Ji Xuan first. He’s your tenth brother. He’s an artist now. He’s holding an art exhibition recently, so he thought of asking me to look for this painting…”

“Wait, Tenth Brother?” Ji Jing was stunned. She frowned as she recalled,” Didn’t

Ji Ling say that you only have nine brothers? There’s also Ji Lan.”

Ji Xun was also very surprised.” Did Big Brother say that? How could this be? We have twelve brothers.”

‘ What?” Ji Jing tried to recall carefully. She seemed to have found something ambiguous..” The remaining three people, are they not at home?”
