"What?" I didn't understand what he meant for a moment. I turned to look at him. Under the dim light, I could barely see the outline of his face. It was perfect but cold.
"Do you regret agreeing to the Lu family?" Lu Jinhuan asked again.
This time, I understood.
Of course I regret it. Ever since I moved into this old mansion, I haven't had a peaceful day. It's fine if I see ghosts every day, but now I've even become a zombie that's neither human nor ghost. I really don't know what sin I've committed.
It was just that the situation was pressing at that time and I had no choice at all. It was too late to regret now.
"Shen Yan?" Seeing that I didn't reply, Lu Jinhuan called out to me.
I came back to my senses and nodded. I honestly replied,"I regret it."
Lu Jinhuan fell silent after hearing my reply. The atmosphere became a little tense.
Actually, I really wanted to tell Lu Jinhuan that I agreed to the Lu Family because I had nowhere else to go. I wanted to tell him that I never wanted to harm him, but I couldn't say it out loud.
No matter how many reasons I have, I accepted the Lu family's money, sold my life to the Lu family, and approached Lu Jinhuan with a mission. These are all facts. No matter what I say now, it's all excuses.
I don't want to become someone who only knows how to shirk responsibility and speak eloquently. This might be the last bit of dignity I can retain.
Time passed bit by bit.
After an unknown period of time, the sound of a door opening suddenly came from outside, followed by a series of footsteps. The light that seeped through the crack in the door flashed, and someone walked in from the front of the door.
Who was it that entered the old mansion in broad daylight without even greeting?
Just as I was about to go out and take a look, Lu Jinhuan suddenly pulled me into his arms and said in a low voice,""It's Pei Yuan."
"What is he doing here?" I asked in confusion.
Didn't Pei Yuan say that he would not care about me anymore? Why did he come to the old mansion?
"Reinforce the formation." Lu Jinhuan replied.
Fortify the formation?
I suddenly thought of something. If I destroy the formation, would Lu Jinhuan not be trapped anymore?
Lu Jinhuan has saved me so many times, but I've never been able to find a chance to repay him. This is a good opportunity.
If Lu Jinhuan could regain his freedom, he would definitely be very happy.
However…
I still have to be careful about this. When I accepted the two million yuan, I swore that my life belonged to the Lu family and that I would listen to the Lu family's arrangements in the future.
But now, I'm helping Lu Jinhuan escape. If the Lu Family finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable. Not only will I lose my life, but my family will also be implicated.
I can't sacrifice my family's lives to repay Lu Jinhuan. I have to be careful.
My brain was spinning rapidly. After thinking for a moment, I lowered my voice and asked Lu Jinhuan," Do you know where the array that trapped you is?”
My original plan was for Lu Jinhuan to tell me the location of the array. After Pei Yuan left, I would think of a way to destroy the array by creating an accident. This way, it would not arouse the suspicion of the Lu Family and would help Lu Jinhuan regain his freedom.
But Lu Jinhuan's answer was that he didn't know.
I couldn't help but frown. Even Lu Jinhuan didn't know about it, so it was obvious that the array was very secretive.
If I want to carry out the follow-up plan, I must first find the location of the array. The most direct way is to follow Pei Yuan now.
I can't guarantee that I'll be able to find the location of the array, but I still want to give it a try.
However, I wasn't sure if Lu Jinhuan would let me go. When I sensed Pei Yuan coming in, he hugged me tightly. I didn't dare to tell him what I was thinking. I was afraid that he would stop me.
I'm even more afraid that he'll think that I'm looking for the formation for another purpose. After all, in Lu Jinhuan's heart, I was sent by the Lu family and I didn't have good intentions.
Even though he protected me and worried about me, I could feel that he had always been wary of me. He had never trusted me.
After thinking for a moment, I said to Lu Jinhuan,""You're hugging me too tightly. I can't breathe.”
I regretted my lame excuse the moment I said it. I'm not a normal person now. I can stop breathing.
But to my surprise, Lu Jinhuan believed me and let go.
I quickly struck while the iron was hot." My body is stiff. I'll get up and move around."”
As soon as I finished speaking, Lu Jinhuan moved and supported my back with one hand to help me sit up.
My heart moved slightly and a warmth surged up. Lu Jinhuan looked cold, but he was actually very kind and attentive.
Other than being a little scary when she was angry, it seemed to be quite good.
I was afraid that Lu Jinhuan would get out of bed and move around with me, so I pressed him back onto the bed." You can rest. I'll move around by myself."”
Lu Jinhuan actually obediently laid on the bed, which surprised me.
I pretended to move my hands and feet in front of the bed. Actually, after losing the blood between my eyebrows, my body slowly became weaker, and the effect of the corpse poison on me also became smaller.
My body wasn't as stiff as before, and I didn't even have the urge to drink blood often, unless I was tempted.
I moved my hands and feet in the direction of the door. I was obviously going to do a good deed, but I had to act like a thief.
He felt bitter in his heart!
I didn't know if Lu Jinhuan had noticed it, but I felt relieved when I didn't hear his voice.
However, when I carefully moved to the door, Lu Jinhuan noticed me. When I saw him sit up, I hurriedly opened the door and ran out.
When I closed the door, I heard Lu Jinhuan's voice coming through the door.”
"I'll be back soon." I replied in a low voice and walked in the direction where the figure had just flashed past.
It was daytime, so I didn't have to worry about Lu Jinhuan chasing after me. However, I was afraid of the sun, so I could only lean against the wall.
I didn't know where Pei Yuan had gone, but I was afraid that he would see me, so I was especially careful along the way.
I went to the backyard first because that was where Lu Jinhuan often stayed.
She stuck her head out and went to the backyard, only to find that there was no one in the courtyard. There was no sign of Pei Yuan.
Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly felt that something was wrong with the backyard. It was different from what I remembered. I kept feeling that there was something extra, but I couldn't tell what it was.
I could only use my gaze to carefully scan the backyard. After I scanned it for the third time, I finally realized that there was an additional spell on the edge of the well.
To be precise, he had re-drawn the incantation.
In fact, there had always been this incantation on the edge of the well. However, it had been hit by the wind and rain previously, so the imprint had faded, so it was not very obvious. Now that Pei Yuan had re-traced it, it could be seen very clearly.
