"Ah!" Lu Liding's heart was in chaos.
However, he was still a Jianghu tycoon and was used to seeing life and death battles. When he saw the ghost fire rushing towards him, he waved his sword in panic. The long sword struck the ghost fire and easily cut it in half.
Madam Lu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this. She thought that her master had killed the evil spirit with a single sword strike. However, what happened later made her relaxed state of mind become a thousand times more terrified.
The ghost fire that had been cut in half suddenly fused in midair and condensed into a ghost fire again. It was actually as good as new.
Seemingly because of the grudge from the sword earlier, the ghost fire became blazing and abnormally ferocious. A sinister face could be vaguely seen in the flames, glaring at Lu Liding.
Lu Liding was greatly shocked. He used his sword to hack at the door, wanting to leave this terrifying place. However, the ghost fire did not give him the chance to escape. It rushed forward and arrived in front of him, setting his beard and hair on fire. In the blink of an eye, his clothes were also set on fire.
"Save me, save me!" Lu Liding's beard and hair were charred, and he panicked for help.
Mrs. Lu saw that Old Master was caught in a fire and was in a critical situation. She couldn't care less about anything else. She took off her pajamas and went to start the fire. However, the ghost fire was very strange. She couldn't put it out even after hitting it several times. Instead, it caught fire and even her pajama pants caught fire.
In an instant, the bedroom was ablaze with flames and thick smoke. Lu Liding and Madam Lu were covered in flames, and their clothes were torn apart as they screamed.
At this moment, two young girls 'shouts came from the door.
"Father, Mother!"
"Uncle! Auntie!"
It turned out that Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying were already sound asleep. Their room was only ten steps away from here. When they heard Lu Liding and his wife's shouts, they were all woken up. They were worried that Li Mochou would sneak attack them in the night, so they came to take a look.
Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang were both innocent girls. When they pushed open the door of the elder's room, they immediately saw the scene of flames.
Both of them were young ladies from noble families. They had never encountered such a dangerous situation before. At this moment, they were at a loss. They were anxious to put out the fire, so they could only take off their coats and pat the flames. Unexpectedly, they followed in Madam Lu's footsteps. The ghost fire burned when it touched them, and the two of them also got caught in the fire. They had no time to care about themselves.
At this moment, the four of them were on fire, and the fire in the bedroom was even more intense. However, the servants in the manor all lived in remote locations. Although they were shouting everywhere, no one knew.
Lu Liding was the first to ignite the fire. The others were only wearing clothes, revealing a large part of their skin, but he had become a person on fire.
Due to the appearance of Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying, the door was miraculously opened. Lu Liding endured the burning pain and decisively rushed out of the door. Madam Lu, Cheng Ying, and Lu Wushuang followed closely behind.
The four of them were covered in flames and their clothes were not enough to cover their bodies. They rushed towards the lotus pond in the west wing. Lu Liding jumped into the lotus pond first, and the flames on his body were immediately extinguished.
Following that, the sound of splashing could be heard. Madam Lu brought the two girls and jumped into the lotus pond one after another.
It was already early autumn. The water in the pond was cool and refreshing. The ghost fire on Madam Lu's body was extinguished. When she thought of the terrifying encounter just now, she felt like she had survived a disaster and almost cried.
Lu Liding was the most severely burned. His entire face was charred black. He was in so much pain that he kept twitching, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew past, causing Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang, who were in the lotus pond, to be alert.
Keke--
Suddenly, a ghostly howl came from the bottom of the water.
This voice made Lu Liding and his wife's hair stand on end. They looked at each other and had an ominous premonition. Although the ghost fire had been extinguished, the ghost howl had not disappeared, which meant that the ghost had not left.
"Shuang 'er, Cheng Ying, leave the lotus pond quickly!”Lu Liding roared.
Lu Liding had just finished speaking when his right leg was grabbed by something underwater.
That thing dragged him to the bottom of the water. He struggled with all his might, but his body was still slowly sinking into the water. The water soon rose to his neck. He knew that if this continued, he would drown sooner or later.
"Water ghost!"
Suddenly, Mrs. Lu's scream rang in his ears.
Lu Liding turned his head to look at his wife. Her body was actually sinking slowly. It was obvious that she was also being pulled by that thing. Thinking that the couple was about to drown alive, he was really heartbroken and remorseful.
"Shuang 'er, Cheng Ying, please ask Young Master Ye to exorcise the ghost!!”
Lu Liding knew very well that only Ye Wudao could save his family.
As he shouted, he was also glad that Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying had left the lotus pond in time and were not dragged by the water ghosts. Otherwise, they would have been finished.
"Father!" Lu Wushuang stood at the edge of the lotus pond and cried loudly. Seeing that her parents had met with misfortune, she was already panicking.
"Biao Younger Sister, don't cry. You stay here and take care of Little Uncle and Little Aunt.”After saying this, Cheng Ying rushed to the west wing.
Cheng Ying had been calm and composed since she was young. Her behavior was dignified and she looked like she was very responsible. At this time, she saw that her family was in danger, so she rushed to Ye Wudao's place to ask for help.
Ye Wudao was not far from the lotus pond.
It was late at night, and everything was silent. The frogs in the lotus pond could be heard. Cheng Ying finally arrived outside Ye Wudao's room, but the candle was extinguished. The latter must have fallen asleep long ago.
Cheng Ying was in a hurry to save him, so she couldn't care less. She pushed open the door and rushed in, shouting," Young Master Ye, come and save me…"
Unexpectedly, just as she rushed into the room, she bumped into someone's arms. The other party obviously did not know that she would suddenly come in and stumbled. Fortunately, she did not fall.
"Are you Cheng Ying?"
With the help of the hazy moonlight outside the door, Ye Wudao finally saw the other party's face clearly.
"Young Master Ye, quickly follow me to save them!”
Cheng Ying was so anxious that she grabbed Ye Wudao's hand and ran.
She knew that this was a matter of life and death. If she did not arrive in time, her uncle and aunt's lives would be in danger.
Ye Wudao was held by her hand as they sprinted towards the lotus pond.
In fact, he had expected the Lu Residence to be haunted. However, he did not know whether to laugh or cry when Cheng Ying pulled him away. This was a f * cking kidnapping of a man, alright?
