“Will 

a

 talisman do the 

trick

?” Li Mazi’s situation wasn’t better than mine. He 

was

 hit at his thigh since he didn’t run fast enough. His trousers were burning. If the arrow had stabbed him a few centimeters higher, he would have had to kiss goodbye to his happiness. 

At this

 moment, he was flustered. 

I

’ve

 got it! That ghost was 

sensing

 our Yang energy to shoot us. As long as we concealed our Yang energy, she wouldn’t have 

a

 target! 

With that thought, I didn’t hesitate to put the Yang Concealing Talismans on 

our bodies

. The female ghost became hesitant.

The Yang Concealing Talisman worked efficiently. I gave Li Mazi a thumbs-up. I casually threw the Sirius Whip aside

 and 

slowly 

approached

 the female ghost. 

Since 

she had lost sight of us

, she was a little bewildered

. She hovered 

still in the air. It was 

a good time 

for me to take action. When I was close enough to her, I took out a handful of cinnabar powder from my pocket and sprinkled it on her! 

It was too late for her to react or dodge my attack. 

When the

 cinnabar powder hit her, her body 

sizzled

 and 

burned

. 

She shot me a furious glance but she didn’t attack me. 

It was now past 

midnight

, the time when 

she had the thickest Yin energy. She knew she wasn’t my equal enemy

 now

. Her body shook

. Then,

 she disappeared into thin air.  

I wanted to chase after her, but then I 

saw

 a strange bow on the floor. 

I

t was the bow where the female ghost 

resided

. If the otherworldly item had appeared, I didn’t need to follow her. 

I asked Li Mazi to watch the bow while I went to the bed to check on Mr. Jin. I heaved a sigh of relief when I found that he was breathing normally. 

After hearing

 the commotion, Ye Chen 

brought 

the bodyguards upstairs

 and asked

, “What happened?” 

Since

 the female ghost had left in fright and 

had

 even discarded the bow she was taking shelter in, I was certain that she wouldn’t return tonight. I asked Ye Chen to go back to his room to sleep. Afterward, I turned on the desk lamp and observed the bow. 

The bow seemed 

to be made

 of bronze as I saw many patina spots on it. The arch part of the bow had a lot of carvings with some small animal totems. 

This bow seemed to be a weapon dedicated to the Manchurian archers. However, I didn’t 

find

 anything from its appearance. When I touched it, I 

realized

the bow

 wasn’t 

simple

. The surface was rusty but it felt so smooth to the touch

, just like 

warm embers. 

I recalled what Ye Chen told me earl

ier

. Mr. Jin

’s madness surfaced 

after he returned from a hunt in Mount Changbai. I thought it 

had

 something to do with this bow. Now, I needed to wait until he woke up. 

Although I knew the female ghost wouldn’t return, I still watched the bow through the night. When the first beam of the sunrise shone through the window, I exhaled in relief. I woke Li Mazi up and handed him the bow before going to my guest room to rest. 

When

 I 

woke

 up later that day, Mr. Jin was also up. However, he had no 

recollection

 of what he had done yesterday. He only said that he

 didn’t sleep well

 last night. 

I simply washed my face and asked Li Mazi to take the bow. I wanted to ask Mr. Jin some questions. Unexpectedly, before I could ask him, Mr. Jin had a skeptical look on his fac

e and asked,

 “How did you get my bow?” 

“Your bow?

Where did you put your bow?” I asked

.

“After the last hunt, I’ve kept it in my house

,” said

 Mr. Jin. 

I didn’t want to hide the 

truth

 from him, 

so I told

 him every detail 

about 

last night

’s encounter

. Mr. Jin then called his wife

 and asked 

her to open his storage chamber to see if the bronze bow was still there. His wife told him that his safe chamber was locked

, but

 the bow was gone… 

“What?!” Mr. Jin slumped onto the ground

, feeling

 helpless. A moment later, he pulled himself together. However, his voice was pessimistic. “Master Zhang, what should I do now?” 

“How did you get this bow?” 

He shot a fearful glance 

at

 the bow then told me his story. Many big 

shots

 had their hobbies. For example, some liked beautiful women, some like hunting

, and others liked

 collecting antiques. Mr. Jin happened to have 

two

 hobbies. He liked hunting and collecting antiques. 

On

e time, he had returned from his hunt in Mount Changbai. Coincidentally, he saw a Manchurian uncle selling bows and arrows. He found them interesting. That bow captured his eyes at the first glance. He ended up buying the bow 

for

 ten thousand

 renminbi

. 

He went 

hunting

 in Mount Changbai one more time to check

 out 

the bow. After that hunting trip, the female ghost started to pester him. Mr. Jin looked regretful

. He scolded 

and 

cursed

 the uncle who had sold the bow to him. 

I just smiled and didn’t say anything. However, I disdained him. He didn’t have good eyes and 

was blaming

 his mistake on the other person. 

Since we didn’t have a good sleep last night, after brunch, we went to our room to rest. Before I drifted into sleep, I saw Li Mazi walking back and forth

. His 

face looked worried as if he 

had

a

 burden 

on

 his mind. 

“Hey, brother

. Do you miss

 your wife?” I teased him

. However,

 he still wore a grimace. I recognized something was strange. I got up

 and talked 

to him. 

“Little 

B

rother Zhang, do you know what I encountered last night?” Li Mazi sounded as though he was about to cry. I found 

this

 strange. Yesterday, we had been together the entire time. There was a time 

while

 he was sleeping and I was watching the bow. However, there wasn’t anything abnormal 

about

 that time. 

“It was almost morning when I heard some sweeping footsteps. I thought it was you, so I didn’t pay attention. The footsteps then grew lighter

. Afterward,

 I couldn’t hear them anymore. I knew it didn’t feel right. When I opened my eyes

, I 

saw a white shadow holding a sword. He wanted to kill me. I was lucky that I had the Yin and Yang Umbrella near me. I used it to parry with him. Otherwise, you wouldn’t 

be seeing

 your brother 

right now

!” 

After listening to Li Mazi, I felt shocked. The female ghost that attacked us yesterday wore Manchurian traditional clothes

. 

Li Mazi had just told me that he was attacked by a white shadow. 

It meant there were at least two spirits in this villa. 

Since

 the white shadow wasn’t sucked into the Yin and Yang Umbrella, he was stronger than the female ghost. 

From what had happened yesterday, I could roughly conclude that the two

spirits were strong enough that they could have easily killed Mr. Jin

. It would be an easy task, like

 flipping their hands. 

However,

 they didn’t. They just kept torturing him. 

It was strange. I pondered, then discussed a plan with Li Mazi. 

We slept through the morning. After lunch, I returned to my room and 

followed

 the plan

.

 Li Mazi left the villa quietly. 

In the late afternoon,

 we heard the sound of a car engine from outside the villa. I took a look 

through

 the window. A car stopped and two men accompanied an old woman out of the car. 

The woman 

appeared to be

 in her sixties

, and she looked

sophisticated

. The other two men were around forty years old. The three of them had inexplicable auras. I was curious about their identities. However, since Mr. Jin was a tycoon, it was normal that he had some classy friends. I didn’t pay attention to this group of people. 

Not long after I 

tucked into

 the bed, I heard the sound of people throwing things downstairs. Then, I heard Mr. Jin 

quarreling

 with the old woman. 

I thought they would stop soon, but th

at didn’t happen

. I wanted to go downstairs to talk them out of the fight, but it was Mr. Jin’s business. It wasn’t appropriate to put my nose into 

this

. 

At

 this moment, rushing footsteps came from the corridor. Ye Chen charged into the room

. H

is face looked worried. He panted

 and said

, “Master Zhang, my boss has lost control again…” 

“What?” I dashed downstairs without putting my shoes on. 

At this

 moment, Mr. Jin’s eyes had turned blood red

. His 

face was twisting. He looked fierce. 

He was holding a glass

. It seemed he wanted to throw it at

 that classy old woman. The bodyguards were pressing onto him. 

Mr. Jin struggled hard

. He 

gazed at the old woman

 and screamed, 

“I’m going to kill you. I’ll kill you all. You have to pay for my 

Ern

iang’s life!” 

The other people were bewildered when they heard him 

scream

. However, I thought I had 

gained

 a clue!
