Chapter 731: This Is Quite a Good Opportunity
Time ticked by, quickly reaching midnight.
Those guards posted in the courtyard were still on high alert, not daring to be careless at all.
All of them were tense and showing signs of fatigue. A slight rustle of the wind would scare them.
Like startled birds!
"Do ghosts really exist in this world?"
"My hands and feet feel cold now, and my back feels chilled."
"Stop talking, your words are making me even more scared."
Several guards gathered together, feeling it was a bit safer this way.
Mo Ying was hiding in the shadows, observing, thinking it was about time to scare them again.
As luck would have it, a gust of cold wind blew at that moment.
Mo Ying silently appeared, drifting past the guards.
"Ah, there's really a ghost!"
The guards panicked, running frantically in all directions, none daring to stand still.
Accompanied by the gusts of eerie wind, making them even more anxious and uneasy.
They couldn't care less about the Guo Family, and directly fled out of the gates, scattering in all directions.
In an instant, there were only a few guards hiding in the Guo Family courtyard, with most having fled.
With such a commotion from the guards, many servants also hid in their rooms without making a sound, fearing being targeted by 'ghosts'.
The steward had been hiding in his room, just about to sleep when he suddenly heard the guards shouting outside, scaring him to death.
Creak!
At that moment, the door suddenly opened by itself, and no one was seen outside.
The steward hid behind the table, cautiously watching the doorway.
"It must have been blown open by the wind," the steward comforted himself.
But he didn't dare to get up and close the door, deciding to observe in secret for a while.
Continuously bolstering his courage.
At this moment, Mo Ying, disguised as Liu An, silently drifted past the door.
"Ah!"
The steward screamed in fright, hurriedly covering his mouth to prevent any more sounds.
He hung his head low, not daring to look outside.
His forehead was covered in sweat, his back soaked in cold sweat.
Taking advantage of the steward's confused state, Mo Ying leapt silently into the room.
Landing right behind the steward.
The sound was very light, and the steward, highly tense, didn't realize Mo Ying was behind him.
Mo Ying sneered, releasing thin steel wires to suspend himself.
His feet dangled over thirty centimeters from the floor.
Then he extinguished the lamp, plunging the room into darkness.
The steward sensed something was wrong, suddenly turned around, and was scared out of his wits.
Cowering on the ground, he cried and begged for mercy, "Brother Liu An, this has nothing to do with me."
"It was Guo Yang who wanted to kill to silence, I had no choice but to follow."
"Take revenge on those responsible, not on me..."
Mo Ying chuckled secretly; he only wanted to have some fun and scare the steward.
Unexpectedly, he received such a gain; the steward confessed without being pressed.
He immediately put away playful thoughts, quickly vanished from the room.
The steward stayed on the ground, not daring to lift his head to look.
He waited for quite a while before cautiously looking up, no longer seeing Liu An's ghostly figure.
Thud!
The steward collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, as if he'd taken a full-body bath, thoroughly soaked.
With a distinct smell of urine.
Guo Wei and Guo Yang, father and son, although they didn't see Mo Ying disguised as Liu An, the guards' terrified screams and panic fleeing frightened them considerably.
Hiding in the room, not daring to make a sound, hoping the sun would rise quickly.
Even considering finding a mage tomorrow to exorcise the ghosts.
Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to continue living in the Guo Family residence.
The night finally passed, and Guo Wei and his son, skipping breakfast, immediately arranged for someone to invite a mage.
Mo Ying promptly found Chen Xuan to report the situation.
As soon as they met, Mo Ying couldn't stop laughing, explaining the chaos at the Guo Family last night.
"It cracked me up, hahaha."
Mo Ying laughed uncontrollably.
Chen Xuan also smiled slightly, "What's the Guo family's reaction now?"
"The steward was frightened and directly admitted to the murder of Liu An under Guo Yang's orders."
Mo Ying whispered, "The funniest thing is, Guo Wei and Guo Yang arranged for a mage to come and exorcise ghosts tonight as soon as possible this morning. Doesn't that make you laugh?"
Oh?
Chen Xuan smiled slightly upon hearing, "This indeed is a good opportunity! Mo Ying, find a way tonight to scare off that mage."
"The remaining matters will be handled by me! The day after tomorrow marks the demise of the Guo family's father and son!"
