Chapter 42

t

Peng Songlai had never seen such a miraculous scene and was astonished . Luckily, he knew that Mu Yi had no intentions of harming his daughter . On top of that, it seemed as if those white lights had a positive effect on his daughter .

The white lights vanished, and it was as if Peng Songlai’s daughter had completely changed . Her face was deathly pale, and her hair was messy . However, she looked completely different .

“Magic,” Peng Songlai whispered .

Apart from magic, he couldn’t think of anything that would’ve helped his daughter . He looked at Mu Yi with admiration, but he also had a look of fear in his eyes . At the same time, he understood why Su Chongshan was so respectful to Mu Yi . He was young but gifted .

Peng Songlai’s wife suddenly looked extremely happy . She didn’t know whether the Taoist priest had used magic or not, but she knew that her daughter was already looking healthier .

She was pregnant, so it was not just one life at risk . If anything happened to her, she and her baby would both die . Their son-in-law had just died, and they didn’t want to lose their daughter and her baby as well .

“I am so grateful . You saved my daughter . We will never forget this,” Peng Songlai said while coming back to his senses .

He was honest and straightforward .

“Counselor Peng, don’t thank me . Thank Mister Su,” Mu Yi said as he smiled indifferently . Then, he looked at the woman on the bed .

She seemed to be a woman in her twenties . Even though she looked tired because of everything that happened, she was still beautiful, almost as beautiful as Su Yingying .

At that moment, she looked like someone who had awoken from a nightmare .

She saw her mother, who looked confused, and then she started crying like a little girl .

When Mu Yi saw that, he left, and Peng Songlai followed him to wait outside .

Strictly speaking, she hadn’t been possessed by a ghost since the yin Qi was gathering on her body naturally . She had just been reliving the same nightmare of waking to see her husband’s flayed body, and it seemed as if she couldn’t break free from the cycle .

The exorcism charm could be used to help people break free from fears or nightmares which could eventually claim their life . Mu Yi was very happy because he had reached the third level of the Heart stage and was now able to use the exorcism charm much easier .

For other people, it was a precious treasure, but for Mu Yi, it had become a normal item for him .

Of course, Mu Yi wasn’t going to use charms recklessly . After all, they were expensive to make . If Su Chongshan hadn’t asked him to come, he wouldn’t have . Because he needed to practice his cultivation, he didn’t feel like getting involved in such affairs .

Mu Yi hadn’t seen the murderer’s face, but he was now convinced that it was someone who cultivated themselves . Also the person’s cultivation level wasn’t low . It wasn’t fun to have such vicious enemies and it wasn’t enjoyable to fight against these people .

If Mu Yi didn’t care about giving Su Chongshan face, he would’ve rolled up his sleeves and left the moment he started to consider this option .

Luckily, he had traveled all around the world, and he knew that he had to be determined in certain tasks . However, he also knew that he couldn’t risk his life for no reason . Playing with your life didn’t necessarily make others admire you . Rather, people would make fun of you .

Mu Yi remembered many events from his past . Good people don’t necessarily receive good things in return for good deeds .

When Mu Yi was ten years old, he saw a beggar who looked like he was about to starve to death, so Mu Yi gave him a hot bun . However, after the beggar ate the hot bun, he attempted to rob Mu Yi, and when Mu Yi resisted, the beggar almost killed him .

If the old Taoist Priest hadn’t gotten involved, Mu Yi would be nothing but bones right now .

From that moment, Mu Yi decided to be careful about whom he treated kindly . His heart had gradually become colder through years of harsh experiences .

After waiting in the living-room for a while, Peng Songlai’s daughter and wife arrived . They hadn’t waited for long, but the daughter had already changed her clothes and had a flower in her hair . Even though she looked pale, she also looked like a proud and beautiful nobles’ daughter .

“I, Peng Mi the widow, greet you and thank you for saving my life, Master Mu,” Peng Songlai’s daughter said to Mu Yi while bowing .

At that moment, the widow should be able to speak about her husband’s death .

“Don’t worry . I just need you to answer some questions,” Mu Yi said straightforwardly .

“Feel free to ask me anything, Master Mu,” Peng Mi said .

“Did your husband have anything peculiar about him?” Mu Yi asked straightforwardly .

“Peculiar? What are you talking about, Master Mu?” Peng Mi asked, not fully understanding his question .

“Yeah, well, something different from ordinary people . Anything strange in his behavior for example? Did he have abnormal fitness?” Mu Yi explained .

When she heard him, Peng Mi’s facial expression slightly changed, and Mu Yi noticed it right away . However, he still patiently waited for her reply .

Peng Mi looked uncertain, she grit her teeth and seemed to tense up .

“Master, he did do some strange things . I’m not going to lie,” Peng Mi said .

“For example?” Mu Yi asked straightforwardly .

“He hated the sun, especially at noon . He never went out when it was sunny and didn’t like going out in general . When he would go out, it was usually when it was dark and rainy, but he never went out on a sunny day,” Peng Mi said slowly .

“Have you ever asked him why?” Mu Yi asked .

“I have, but he said that he had always been sensitive to the sun, some kind of bad reaction to the sun . Apart from that, there was nothing different . Because I am also quite reserved myself, I didn’t keep asking about it,” Peng Mi asked . In her opinion, it wasn’t anything important, but Mu Yi was asking her about it anyway . Did it have anything to do with his allergy to the sun?

“And after you got married, did he change in any manner?” Mu Yi asked . He had the feeling that he was getting closer and closer to finding the truth . The man couldn’t stay in the sun, and his skin had been flayed . There was definitely a connection between the two .

“He actually went out once . It was to go get a present for my father and to buy some paper and ink,” Peng Mi said .

“Paper and ink? Don’t you have servants in the Peng Clan who can go and buy such things for you?” Mu Yi asked, surprised .

“We do, but my husband liked to choose those kinds of things by himself . He said that he enjoyed it,” Peng Mi said .

“Do you know where he bought those things?” Mu Yi asked .

“I do know,” Peng Mi said while nodding straightforwardly .
