1009: Chapter 624_2 1009: Chapter 624_2 Eryao…?
He sent out his powerful Divine Sense, and in this courtyard for receiving guests, not a single figure was seen.
In each of the master’s courtyards, all the maids and old women were hiding in their quarters!
The male host’s serving boy and maids were hiding in the courtyard, not coming out.
The butler and the servants’ quarters, they were all hiding in their own places!
They even believed the maid’s words without questioning, assuming that the person who entered during the day was a Monster, not a Ghost.
The gatekeeper couldn’t hide, and the house servant who had previously led Eryao inside was even more frightened, not daring to make a sound.
After all, it was he who had led that person inside.
If the master found out it was him who brought the visitor, he would lose his job!
He felt he was very unlucky, having finally obtained this job in a rich and noble family, only to encounter such an incident, even endangering his life!
Eryao was really speechless.
Was he that frightening?
Were these people blind?
So he got angry.
Initially, he had restrained his aura, but upon getting angry, the strong Qi burst forth from his body, making it suffocating for ordinary people!
“Is this how Zheng Residence treats its guests?
I give you fifteen minutes, everyone get out here!”
Eryao’s powerful voice spread throughout the entire residence.
Even the confined courtyards, the Ghosts, and the maids in Miss Zheng’s room heard it!
But Miss Zheng was still unconscious.
Hearing such a voice, the maids woke up from the ground!
The maids appeared quite bewildered!
The Ghosts weren’t so lucky.
The powerful Qi was so oppressive that their vital energy began to dissipate.
Under the formidable pressure exerted by Eryao, the people hiding felt as if they were driven by someone, their bodies uncontrollably summoned by a spiritual call, making them walk towards the direction of the living room without control over their movements!
Only Miss Zheng’s courtyard and room were confined.
The souls of the Ghosts being summoned continually collided with the confinement; the maids in the room trying to get out were blocked by the door.
They couldn’t open the door, couldn’t get out – it was already noon, and if the young lady couldn’t eat, they needed to eat as well!
Unable to leave the room, they called out loudly, as if the sound was blocked!
This made them both panicked and chaotic.
Besides the cold tea from last night, there were only hard pastries in the room.
They thought about making do and eating these things, but felt that they needed to prepare medicine for the unconscious Miss.
In front of the living room’s door, many maids, old women, and even young boys and guards had gathered.
Even those working in the kitchen and on miscellaneous tasks were standing densely outside; they didn’t dare to enter the living room.
It wasn’t just because their status was insufficient, but also because they believed that only the master had the qualifications to meet such a grand figure!
Sir Zheng was embarrassingly pushed forward; besides him, several young noblemen and two brothers around his age were pushed in, and other female family members who wanted to peek at this formidable person seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier!
Apart from the men who were pushed into the living room, those wanting to peek from the doorway were also prevented by a barrier from seeing clearly!
Only the house servant guarding the main entrance and the maid who had screamed earlier knew what the man in the living room looked like!
Neither of them dared tell anyone!
As soon as Sir Zheng entered, he knelt down, and the other two men about his age also knelt down.
Even the several physically weaker young noblemen also knelt down!
All these lords and young nobles, with so many strange occurrences in the residence, where was their usual arrogance?
Where was the haughtiness of the rich and noble?
At this moment, they knelt before Eryao, trembling!
Eryao sized up Sir Zheng, who was probably around forty years old, with a goatee beard, and the other two brothers also had short beards.
The oldest of the young noblemen was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the youngest just fourteen or fifteen!
The only common feature among these males was their black eyes and lackluster spirits, also noticeable was the Black Mist on their foreheads!
This was a condition of absorbing Yin Energy from a place heavy with Yin, where the body’s Yin Energy was about to outnumber Yang Energy!
“Great Immortal, spare us!
We are but ordinary folk and have done nothing to harm the heavens or the earth.
If you need anything, just say it!”
Sir Zheng’s words went unchallenged by his brothers, and the youngsters dared not speak either.
If it were possible to buy their lives with money, they believed that life was more important than money!
“Did this Immortal say I wanted your lives?”
“Ah!”
Sir Zheng, his brothers, and several youngsters conversed, all shocked yet not daring to look back at the person approaching closer, whose presence grew increasingly oppressive!
They knew this Immortal was no ordinary being!
“I heard that you were seeking a Mage and a High Monk to treat your Miss Zheng’s illness.
This Immortal has come on such social call!”
“Ah, the Immortal has come for the young lady?”
Only then did Sir Zheng dare to sneak a glance upwards, noticing the noble air of the person.
This was not someone ordinary folks like them could meet.
He wondered why such a person would be so benevolent as to help his daughter.
Could it be that he was smitten with her?
Yet he also felt such a person might not fancy his daughter at all!
Sir Zheng’s doubts were shared by his brothers and the youngsters, who also sneaked glances at the impressive figure.
Especially the youngsters, who heard that he came to treat their sister, did not detect any malice in his words.
Perhaps this Monster, if one could call him that, was benign!
The phrase ‘fearless young calf’ perfectly describes the hearts of these youngsters at this moment!
“A Fierce Ghost entered Miss Zheng’s courtyard last night to snatch her away!
This Immortal confined it in that courtyard.
The ghost that attempted to snatch her is no minor spirit; it can summon Ghost Soldiers.”
The astonishing words from Eryao made Sir Zheng and a few other men start fearfully glancing outside, afraid that ghosts might be there as well.
“Great Immortal, is there a way to save the young lady?
Why did the ghost want to snatch her?
Is it because of her birth chart?” Sir Zheng struggled to find his voice for a long time, pleading as a father would!
The others who heard of ghosts in the house thought of the chilling cold of summer as winter, the Feng Shui Masters and High Monks, they all mentioned ghosts, but the ceremonies had no effect!
Sir Zheng, along with the other gentlemen and youngsters, felt even more that they had encountered Martial World charlatans!
Miss Zheng’s unconscious state, maybe due to illness or maybe evil spirits played a part, as a wealthy family, yet they lacked the ability to confront these spirits.
“A ghost snatching someone in marriage is not easy to accomplish unless it has Miss Zheng’s birth chart and the approval of elders, according to the commands of parents and matchmaker’s words!”
The first thing Sir Zheng did upon hearing Eryao’s words was to retort:
“Impossible, how could I agree to such absurdity?
As a father, how could I possibly harm my own daughter?”
“Do you think this Immortal is joking?” Eryao looked disapprovingly at Sir Zheng.
Sir Zheng, panic-stricken, glanced at Eryao hurriedly, and in that fleeting moment also felt that someone of Eryao’s capabilities, unknown to him, had no reason to deceive him.
Thus, he suspiciously glanced at his two brothers, maybe even the youngsters.
Sir Zheng’s suspicious gaze met the head shaking of his brothers, and the youngsters shook their heads even more vehemently!
Sir Zheng also felt that these two brothers, his own blood brothers, had always lived harmoniously together in this large mansion, sons of the same father and mother, and had never quarreled over uneven distribution of the family inheritance!
He was the Family Head, with slightly more authority; the other two brothers, one idle and the other holding a minor official position outside.
The young juniors were still studying, it just happened that the Academy was on holiday recently!
In the midst of Sir Zheng’s silence, Eryao’s Divine Sense observed the people outside, apart from those in Miss Zheng’s courtyard, everyone else rushed to the door driven by him.
The nearest to the door stood the Mistresses and concubines of these gentlemen, and even their daughters; additionally, there was an Old Madam who was supported by two Nannies, this old woman portly and swollen, with small, triangle eyes glaring at the lobby’s door, her eyes full of malicious resentment!
“The old woman outside, is she your mother?”
Sir Zheng, still suspecting his brothers, immediately exchanged a vigilant look with his brothers upon hearing Eryao’s words, before they could react!
“Is it that Old Witch?”
One of the youngsters suddenly screamed in anger!
