Watch Out! Danger Ahead

Even though song qingxiao had been through a lot, she still felt her back go numb when she saw the old man with the goatee walking over with his clothes.

On the side, Yao Liu’s expression was even more exaggerated. He opened his arms and his body instantly grew to two meters tall. A large amount of black fur appeared on his face and body.

“Aiya, the banquet is about to begin. Why aren’t the two of you seated yet?” The old man didn’t seem to notice Yao Liu’s strange behavior. With the ‘Bang Bang’ sound of his footsteps, he walked closer and closer. He raised an arm and waved at the two of them, squeezing out a smile.

This situation was too abnormal. Song qingxiao and Yao Liu looked at each other and saw the vigilance in each other’s eyes.

What was certain was that the two of them had already entered the Gu residence, but the moment before they entered the Gu residence, it was clearly in ruins and pitch-black.

At this moment, the Gu residence was clean and elegant, and the sky was bright.

There was no sun above their heads, and the sky was gloomy. It was as if a layer of dark clouds had firmly locked the sun, as if a storm was coming.

Not far from the garden, there were several long corridors with several lanterns hanging under them. Not far away, there was a medium-sized lotus pond dug beside a few trees.

At this time, the water in the Lotus pond was rippling, and it was very quiet.

Everything seemed extremely real, and it didn’t seem like they were only hallucinating.

No. 7 and the others who were with the two of them were nowhere to be seen. It was likely that they had been sent to God’s trial somewhere when they entered the Gu mansion.

The old man walked up to him, his face beaming with joy.

Song qingxiao used her divine sense to test him. There was no Yin Qi in his body. His smile was so wide that his face was wrinkled, and his teeth were yellow.

“When the family head learned that the two of you had come from afar, he was overjoyed and asked this old servant to welcome you and lead you to your seats.” When he said this, he put his hands together and bowed, making a slight sound as his clothes rubbed against each other.

Yao Liu was bewildered. Song Qing suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and asked calmly,

“A banquet?”

“Yup!” The old man with the goatee didn’t seem to notice the wariness on their faces. He smiled and said, ”

“My family’s young master is getting married today, and the family master has set up a banquet in the court to entertain the distinguished guests. Please follow this old servant!”

When the two of them heard this, their hearts skipped a beat. Yao Liu asked in surprise,

“Which family’s young master is getting married?”

The old man did not get angry at his impudent words. He continued to smile with his eyes narrowed.

“Other than our Gu family, which other family would have such a grand wedding to invite the two of you?”

As soon as the old man finished speaking, song qingxiao’s heart sank, is the girl you’re marrying the Chu group? ”

“Of course it’s the Chu family.” The old man chuckled, our families are well- matched in status. The young master is only so tall, and miss Chu is so beautiful. Don’t you think that they’re a match made in heaven? ”

His mouth was full of praise, but when song qingxiao and Yao Liu heard these words, they couldn’t help but smile bitterly at each other.

The Gu family? Wedding? Two hundred years ago!

The two of them had stepped out, and they had directly entered the scene from more than two hundred years ago?

“What are you two waiting for?” The old man was still smiling, and he made a ‘please’ gesture.’Tt’s getting late.”

A moment ago, it was still daytime. Although the sun was not visible above their heads and the weather was gloomy, at least there was sufficient light and they could see everything around them clearly.

However, as soon as the goateed old man finished speaking, the light around them quickly dimmed.

The strangest thing was that as the sky turned dark, the lanterns under the veranda not far away slowly lit up with an orange light. Although the light dispelled the darkness, it did not make people feel at ease. Instead, it made them feel a little eerie and terrifying.

“The bride is about to arrive. If we wait any longer, the food will get cold. Quickly follow this old servant.”

The sky instantly darkened and the lanterns lit up. This was a strange scene, but the old man did not seem to notice anything wrong and just grinned.

As he said this, song qingxiao and Yao Liu heard the faint, sharp, and ear-piercing sound of the suona.

“Hehe.” Yao Liu laughed drily, cursing in his heart.

The two of them had indeed fallen for it!

Song qingxiao looked at the old man coldly. Facing her scrutinizing gaze, he just squinted his eyes and grinned. His expression did not change at all when he spoke, and he maintained his ‘please’ posture.

The red light from the lanterns in the distance shone on half of his face, making it look dry and dark. The layers of dry wrinkles were like a rotten old tree.
