The bamboo was dense and the leaves rustled.

The swaying branches and leaves reflected on the window lattice. Under the dim yellow lamp,"Yu" was alone, holding a peach paper with a depressed expression, looking down at it.

Names were recorded on the peach-colored paper in small regular script, followed by a few annotations.

This was the clue he had gotten from the guards during the day.

In this vast Xiao mansion, the only ones with the true bloodline of the Xiao family were the Xiao family's old master, Xiao Shou, the Xiao family's young lady, Xiao Xiang 'e, the young master, Xiao Zheng, and Xiao Yan.

Originally, there were still some servant girls and servants in the manor, but every once in a while, there would be servants who would mysteriously disappear to unknown places.

According to the guard, in order to protect his three children, master Xiao had specially hired someone with great martial arts skills from a distant place to act as a guard.

However, according to old master Xiao's rules, these people would only protect the Xiao family's bloodline in the Xuanji mansion during the day.

Once the sun set, they had to leave and could not stay overnight in the Xiao family.

Furthermore, there was no order of conversation between Xiao Yan, Xiao Zheng, and Xiao Xiang 'e. The guards were still unclear who was the eldest young master and who was the second young master ...

Although the situation was suspicious, because of the high wages given by the Xiao family, even if the guards found it strange, they never questioned it, and instead followed old master Xiao's instructions.

The name of all the living people in the Xiao mansion was written on the peach-shaped paper.

There were only ten names in total.

The first four names were Xiao Shou, Xiao Zheng, Xiao Xiang 'e, Xiao Yan ... And the rest were the names of the guards.

Yu looked at the list and shook his head.

&Quot; the sacrifice that he wants must be at least a fresh living person. &Quot;

&Quot; the Xiao family has already put up a notice to recruit maidservants. They've also arranged for a broker to quickly purchase a poor girl who can serve as a maidservant. &Quot;

&Quot; but even ants covet their lives. It's hard to say when we can find a new maidservant. &Quot;

&Quot; we can only choose from these guards or the Xiao family for the sacrifice now. &Quot;

Thinking up to this point, Yu carefully kept the peach paper and muttered to himself.

Currently, there were a total of four people in the Xiao family's bloodline, and his body was one of them.

Apart from him, old master Xiao must be the one who set up the "curse," and the remaining Xiao Xiang 'e and Xiao Zheng were most likely The Pink Bride and the inheritor of the "curse."

As for the greedy slave he had brought, he probably didn't have the right ...

"Squeak."

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

As the sound of the bamboo came in, a series of soft footsteps sounded.

Soon, a young girl dressed as a maidservant and wearing a mask as smooth as a mirror, holding a food box, turned around the screen and entered the room.

After seeing "Yu," she immediately knelt down and respectfully said,"Young master, the chef has prepared supper. This servant has brought it for you."

With that, she walked to the Round Table not far away, put the lunchbox on the table, and carefully opened the lid.

An alluring fragrance immediately filled the air.

The maidservant took out plate after plate of dishes. Stir-fried Cape Jasmine, wild bamboo shoots braised meat, honey sauce fire recipe, deer head soup, shredded chicken and white fungus, fried quail, white braised fish lips ...

There was also a pot of warm osmanthus wine.

'Yu' sat on the side, not moving at all as he looked at the scene, his expression dark and gloomy.

There shouldn't be any maidservants in the Xiao family right now!

However, it was true that he hadn't eaten for a whole day. The body of a mortal was very fragile. At this moment, he could clearly feel his body starting to slow down.

If he didn't eat, he might not be able to prepare any sacrifices.

Thinking of this, Yu said in a low voice, " "Have a taste of all the wine and dishes."

The servant girl who was fiddling with the bowls and chopsticks paused for a moment. She was obviously surprised.

However, considering that this was the young master's order, she did not ask for the reason. She immediately said, " "Yes!"

Thus, the maidservant picked up her chopsticks and quickly ate all the dishes. Then, under the gaze of " Yu ", she poured out a small cup of wine, covered her face with her sleeve, and drank it all in one go.

The Empress put down the wine cup and looked at Yu, hesitating,"Young master, will this do?"

'Yu' nodded.

The maidservant immediately bowed and respectfully retreated to the side, waiting for the young master to finish eating so that she could start cleaning up.

However,'Yu' remained seated in his original position, unmoving.

He waited quietly. After an hour, seeing that the maidservant was fine, he stood up and picked up the chopsticks that the maidservant had just used. He began to eat with the bowl she had used.

As the food and wine entered his stomach, a warm feeling immediately rose.

"Yu" could clearly feel his energy and stamina Increasing rapidly.

As he ate, an extremely unfamiliar memory gradually appeared in his mind ...

He looked at a gold-painted bottle with twined branches and twisted Lotus ears not far away and took a cloth from a beautiful maidservant. After covering his eyes, he took out an arrow without the Arrowhead from the leather bag at his waist, weighed it, and threw it forward.

"Oh,"

Where the arrow landed, it was like gold and iron hitting each other. The servant girl's happy voice came, " "It hit! Young master, it's a hit!"

"Yu" suddenly came back to his senses and found that all the dishes and wine in front of him had been used up, leaving only empty plates.

His brows gradually furrowed. For a moment, he really thought that he had become Xiao Yan!

Just as he was thinking, Yu suddenly realized that he had recovered his Qi cultivation stage strength!

These dishes could restore his main body's strength?

Without waiting for "Yu" to figure out the question, the servant girl suddenly spoke, " "Young master, should I help you clean up?"

'Yu' put down his dagger and nodded. Then, he ordered, " "Send over another set of the exact same dishes."

"Yes!" The maidservant knelt down.

※※※

At the same time, on the other side of the Xiao mansion.

"Squeak."

The door opened, and just as PEI Ling stepped out, the yellow leaves in the courtyard swirled and danced. Amidst the sound of rustling, a gust of cold wind blew in his face, and he instantly felt a chill all over his body.

A strong chill swept through his body and seeped into his bones. His original condition seemed to have become more serious.

At this moment, the system's warning tone sounded."Ding dong! [ an external attack has been detected. This cultivation session ends here. ] Thank you, host, for using the intelligent cultivation system. With one click of the button, you can ascend without worry! Please give me a five-star rating if you are satisfied ..."

PEI Ling regained control of his body and could not help but cough violently. &Quot; cough, cough, cough, cough ... &Quot;

He coughed until his face was flushed and his body trembled as if he was going to cough out all his heart, liver, and lungs.

Feeling his extremely weak body, PEI Ling frowned and immediately realized that this was not an illness, but a curse!
