Chapter 288 Someone is using evil magic to harm people
The man said smugly, "This is called a pistol."
"A pistol? What's that? I've never heard of it."
The man said smugly, "It's a rare item from overseas; of course you've never heard of it."
"Young master, would you sell me the pistol? I'm willing to pay double the price."
"Sell it to me, and I'll pay three times the price."
"Sell it to me, I'll pay four times the price."
As everyone eagerly spoke up, the man shook his head and said, "Not for sale. This pistol of mine is priceless."
Just then, a guard in blue robes approached and said to the man with the gun:
"Sir, our master invites you."
The man was taken aback: "What business does the master have with me?"
The guard in blue replied, "The master of the manor has not said anything; you will find out when you go there."
Upon hearing this, the man said, "Then lead the way, I'll go with you to see the master."
"This way, please." The guard in blue led the man away.
Seeing this, Gu Ye said to Yun Qingqing and the others, "I guess the manor lord is looking for this person because he wants that pistol."
Yun Qingqing stared at the direction of the back mountain and said, "Something's not right about this manor. You all need to keep a low profile and avoid attracting attention."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Chengying asked in confusion, "Abao, what's wrong with this manor?"
Yun Qingqing said, "There's an evil aura."
Yun Chengying exclaimed in surprise, "Evil energy?! Abao, do you think there are evil spirits here?"
Yun Qingqing replied to him, "Someone is using evil magic to harm people."
"Brother Qing, how did you figure out that someone was using evil magic to harm people? This manor looks perfectly normal."
Yun Qingqing pointed in the direction of the black mist and said, "There is black mist above."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ye immediately looked in the direction she pointed, but found nothing there.
He frowned and said, "Black aura? I can't see any black aura."
Xu Ji and the Yun brothers looked in the direction Yun Qingqing pointed, but they didn't see any black aura.
"Abao, are you sure you're not mistaken? There's no black mist above." Yun Chengying said.
Yun Qingqing said, "That black aura is invisible to ordinary people."
She can see the black aura that ordinary people cannot see because of Xiaobai.
Yun Qingqing turned around and walked back: "Let's go back to the room and rest for a while. We have a tough battle to fight tonight."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ji and the others hurriedly followed.
Back in the courtyard, Yun Qingqing and the others went to their respective rooms to rest.
After entering the room, Yun Qingqing went into the space to find Xiaobai.
Little White was curled up asleep on the blanket, enveloped in a faint glow.
Yun Qingqing walked over and sat down beside it, gently stroking its fur as she said, "Little White, I've discovered some evil energy in Wan'an Manor. It's quite strong, and dealing with it might be a bit tricky."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaobai's thick eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes.
Yun Qingqing paused in stroking its fur, then exclaimed with delight, "Little White, you're awake?"
Xiao Bai responded with a soft hum and affectionately nuzzled Yun Qingqing's palm with its head.
A gentle smile spread across Yun Qingqing's eyes as she gently combed the soft fur on its head with her fingers.
She asked expectantly, "Little White, you've been asleep for so long this time, are you able to speak now?"
Little White made a series of muffled gurgling sounds in its throat, and its head drooped down.
Yun Qingqing chuckled, gently patting its head with her warm palm: "Don't be discouraged, you are a wolf that has gained sentience, you will definitely be able to speak in the future."
Little White responded with a soft "humph".
Meanwhile, in the study of the main courtyard of the villa.
Wan Shan, the owner of Wan'an Manor, fiddled with the pistol and asked the man, "Where did you get this pistol?"
“Master, I bought this pistol from someone named Monkey King at a high price.”
Upon hearing this, Wan Shan pressed further, "Where is this person now? Can we still contact him?"
The man shook his head and said, "I don't know where he is, nor do I know how to contact him."
Upon hearing this, Wan Shan frowned deeply. It was a pity that if the person who possessed such a divine weapon could make good use of it, it would be a great help to his future path to hegemony.
"I'll buy this pistol. Name your price." He fiddled with the pistol in his hand, carefully examining its construction.
Upon hearing this, the man immediately shook his head and said, "Master, I had a lot of trouble to buy this pistol, I won't sell it."
Upon hearing this, Wan Shan shifted his gaze from the pistol, looked up, and fixed his eyes on the man.
"In that case, you can take the pistol back."
A sinister smile flashed across Wan Shan's face as he slowly handed over the pistol.
Just as the man got up to get his pistol, Wan Shan pulled the trigger.
"boom."
A loud bang exploded in the study. The man staggered back two steps, a glaring crimson stain quickly spreading between his eyebrows. His eyes widened, and he fell straight backward, crashing heavily to the ground with a dull thud.
Wan Shan slowly withdrew his gun, glanced at the man on the ground, and a cold, emotionless smile appeared on his lips:
"You ungrateful wretch."
Wan Shan placed the still-warm pistol on the desk, took out a snow-white silk handkerchief, and slowly wiped his fingertips.
"Someone come here," he called towards the door.
Two guards in black entered in response, ignoring the corpse on the ground and standing silently with their heads bowed.
"Clean it up," Wan Shan ordered calmly without even lifting his eyelids.
"Yes," the guard replied in a low voice, deftly lifting the corpse and quickly retreating as if no one had ever stayed or died there.
Silence returned to the study. Wan Shan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes dark and unfathomable. Once tonight was over, no one in the world could defeat him.
