Song Yan had been waiting for this thing to show up from the start, the last time it was sneaky enough to escape from her but this time—— sorry she came prepared.
Hei An De also realised that she was in trouble, she looked at the golden whip which was holding her down and then gritted her teeth as she snarled and broke her leg for the sake of freeing herself.
The leg which was ripped combusted under the yin energy of the golden whip burning until nothing but black ash was left behind.
Seeing the strength of her rival, Hei An De was not foolish enough to linger she tried to hide in another portrait but how could Song Yan allow that to happen? She immediately threw a talisman which she had refined especially for this creature and blocked it from taking refuge in another portrait like the last time.
" You want to hide? But where? I am afraid that your home is going to burn down at any minute," as she spoke, Song Yan pointed to the lucky portrait which was burning behind her, even though it was yet to be charred completely because Chen Chu Chu and Chen Xi were still alive and their magic was still holding the portrait intact, it was not enough for Hei An De to take refugee inside of it.
The woman in black looked at the burning portrait and then turned her vicious glare at Song Yan, she understood what Song Yan was saying which was why instead of jumping around like a clown, she turned around and then rushed outside, as long as she was outside no one will be able to harm her!
Though Hei An De dreamed beautifully, she did not know that she was instead walking into the trap which was set by Song Yan who smiled coldly when she saw Hei An De run outside, in fact, she was fully aware of the fact that when Hei An De will see the lucky portrait burning she will run outside but there was no way she will be able to get any other prey because at this moment everyone including the Chen family was at the hotel which was a bit far from the military district surely that thing will follow the trail which was left behind by its master and arrive at the banquet hall instead.
And with Fu Yu Sheng there Song Yan was sure that she did not need to worry about anything, her husband would have prepared the pyres for the two sisters in a grand manner.
All she needed to do was to make sure that Hei An De will head straight toward the hotel and not go anywhere else, in case she got lost would it not be a pity?
….
At the hotel, Old Master Yan's birthday banquet was in full swing because Old Master Chen wanted to integrate himself back into the group which he was once part of, he was really solicitous with Old master Yan to the point where the latter was confused about whom he married.
" Old Yan, you must be feeling tired, why don't you sit down?"
" Old Yan, do you want to drink green tea? I will bring it for you."
" Old Yan."
" Old Yan."
" Old Master Chen, I appreciate you taking care of my husband but he is not that old," Old Madam Chen did not wish to entangle with the Chen family, she only wanted to stay away from them as much as she could but then she saw Old master Yan getting pestered by Old Master Chen and could not help but step forward.
Old Master Chen felt a bit awkward when he was snubbed like that but there was nothing he could do, for some reason everything was going downhill and nothing was working according to his will, first, his son was targeted and then his family, before they could even take a breather, Old Master Chen realised that he had been pushed aside by his old friends.
Even though Cui Deming helped his family clear the suspicions which were surrounding them, he was still under the radar of many because of the number of corpses which were found in his house, Old Master Chen wished to explain but there was no explanation which came to his mind, in the end, he could only try his best to get back to the position in which he was ages ago.
But without the suspicions being cleared off him there was nothing that he could do except for lowering his head in front of Old Master Yan who had much more contacts than anyone.
" Old madam, what are you talking about? I was just trying to help Old Yan given that he is being swarmed by so many people," Old Master Chen chuckled awkwardly as he smiled at Old Madam Yan who rolled her eyes and turned to look at her husband before saying,
" Why don't you take a break in the break room? I will send Niu with you." With that, she turned to call her second son before Old Master Chen could volunteer to accompany her husband.
While Old Master Chen was accommodating Old Master Yan like he was his ancestor, Chen Chu Chu was following after Li Wenyi who was trying her best to shake her off.
Li Wenyi was a germaphobe who hated going in places where the cleanliness was not taken care of but because this was Old Master Yan's birthday, she was willing to accompany her family.
Though it did not change her habit of going to the restroom and washing her hands each time she touched something which was not clean.
Who knew how long Chen Chu Chu was keeping an eye on her, but the second she turned to leave the banquet hall, she felt someone was following her and sure enough when Li Wenyi turned around she saw Chen Chu Chu following after her.
She wanted to go back to the banquet hall but that woman stopped in the middle of the corridor stopping her from leaving!
" Sister Wenyi!" Chen Chu Chu called loudly when she saw that Li Wenyi was heading towards the rest room while ignoring her.
