After we left

 the park, I was worried that 

Senior Shu

wouldn’t be able to

 deal with Zhang Yan alone. I untied Li Mazi and told him to drive away to find Feng Yuanzheng. 

Then, I turned and ran back 

to

 the park. Li Mazi grabbed me. He spoke up for the first tim

e. In a 

low and dark 

voice, he said

, “Feng Yuanzheng 

is

 dead.” 

“What the heck?” I was stunned. 

Li Mazi nodded

. 

“When Feng Yuanzheng

’s betrayal was discovered

, 

Zhang Yan

 was so angry that she killed him.” 

“You mean, Zhang Yan 

led

 us here

? This was

 a trap?” My heart sank, but I couldn’t figure out the matter yet. 

“Don’t you think it’s too late now?” Li Mazi beamed a strange, sinister smile. 

“What do

 you

 mean?” 

A very bad premonition arose in my heart 

as

 I looked at Li Mazi’s strange countenance. I knew it was too late. 

Li Mazi took out a dagger and directly stabbed me in the stomach

. He coldly hissed,

 “Die!” 

I felt something 

press

against

 my stomach, but I didn’t feel 

any

 pain. I stooped and saw that Li Mazi’s dagger had just stabbed the compass I

’d

 always brought with me. 

Since

 his ambush

 had

 failed, he withdrew his dagger and tried to cut his throat. 

It seemed h

e was bewitched. The 

spirit

 knew that 

it

 only had one chance

. Now that its

 chance was gone, 

it

 wanted to kill him. 

“Damn you!” I grabbed Li Mazi’s 

wrist

 with one hand while pressing the index finger and the middle finger of the other hand together

,

swiftly

 pok

ing

his

 glabella. 

Li Mazi’s eyes rolled to the back of his head

, and h

e lost consciousness shortly after. I was afraid that the 

spirit

 would come back again, s

o 

I grabbed the Sirius Whi

p and

 cautiously 

watched

 around. 

F

ive or six minutes later, 

Senior Shu

 panted

 and walked 

out of the park.

“She escaped

,”

h

e announced with a long face. 

“It’s all right. I didn’t want to kill her tonight, anyway.” 

Senior Shu

 was back, and Li Mazi and I were safe. I exhaled in relief. “Do you know what’s causing the trouble here?” 

“It’s a green shadow. I can tell it’s a woman wearing a green dress

, b

ut I didn’t see anything else. She was too fast…” 

Senior Shu

 then looked at Li Mazi and the dagger on the ground. He said faintly, “Kid, you 

have great luck

!” 

I smiled embarrassedly and pulled Li Mazi to the car to return to the hotel.

To prevent Zhang Yan 

from coming

 and troubl

ing 

us again at midnight, 

Senior Shu

 and I arranged a few defensive formations in Li Mazi’s room. 

If

 anything happened there, we would be alerted. 

Normally

, after 

a

 struggle

 with a spirit, 

I 

would

 be able to 

fall asleep quickly

. However, even though I had rolled around on the bed for quite a long time, 

I

 couldn’t sleep. I thought I had forgotten something. 

It wasn’t too late, so I texted Yin Xinyue 

and asked

 if she

 was

 sleeping. She called me immediately. 

“Why are you not sleeping yet?” 

S

he was worried about me. 

There was so much background noise 

on

 her side. 

It seemed

 she was shooting night scenes. I didn’t want to tell her about the situation here. 

“Honey, you should try to finish early and not 

go

 to bed too late.” Then, I 

ended

 the call. 

Although we were married, 

things weren’t

 much different from before. We were both busy with our careers. We

 had

 a sweet 

moment just now,

 but it wasn’t a good way to live like this. After this case, I would spend one or two years 

escorting

 her to anywhere she wanted to go. We would enjoy the skies and the waters. With this thought, I couldn’t help but smile. 

The message ringtone suddenly sounded. I thought Yin Xinyue had sent me another text. I checked the phone and 

saw

 it was from Feng Yuanzheng! 

Feng Yuanzheng! 

I now knew why my mind couldn’t rest. Li Mazi told me that Feng Yuanzhang was murdered. However,

 h

e just sent me a text!

 What

 was

 going on?

Of course, Zhang Yan 

could have

texted

 me. I directly called his number, but the call was declined. Then came another text: Master Zhang, I can’t receive calls now. I texted you to tell you that I think I

know

who that thing is!

“Who?” I shot up from my bed. 

However, there was no reply from him 

for

 a long time. After 

p

ondering about the matter, I had no way to verify if the real Feng Yuanzheng had sent me the texts. 

If he 

was

 in danger

 and 

we 

went there

, it wouldn’t be different from entering the net ourselves. But if we didn’t go, I 

w

ouldn’t 

be able to r

est my mind.

Eventually, I knocked on 

Senior Shu

’s door.

I explained the situation and asked, 

“What should we do?” 

Senior Shu

 rubbed his head. “

We’ll go. W

hy wouldn’t we?” 

I was somewhat surprised. Soon, I 

understood his meaning

. We didn’t care if it was a trap

 as w

e needed to see the face of that 

spirit to proceed further

.

I questioned myself 

and thought 

that my courage had 

shrunk

 after getting married. 

I called Li Qiushu to come to the hotel and take care of Li Mazi. I didn’t want to be worried about him while working. Then, I drove 

Senior Shu

 to Feng Yuanzheng’s house. 

W

e arrived at the neighborhood entrance

. I was about to call him when

 I heard a weak voice from behind. “Master Zhang, I’m here.” 

I turned and saw Feng Yuanzheng crawling out of a flower bed. He moved slowly as though he was hurt. I hurried to help him up. The man had a pale face

. H

is body was covered in flowers and dirt. It seemed he had been there for quite a long time. There were finger marks on his neck and dabs of blood on his collar. 

“What happened?” 

“I 

hid the truth

 from her, but your brother suddenly disclosed everything…” Feng Yuanzheng’s tone was full of blame toward Li Mazi. 

Embarrassedly, I told him, “My brother was bewitched. Please forgive him.” 

“

Yeah

? Zhang Yan strangled me. Look at my neck. I couldn’t wiggle off her 

reach

. She was strangely strong at that time.” 

Feng Yuanzheng was strangled until he lost consciousness. He was then thrown into the 

bathroom

. When he 

woke

 up, he crawled out and found that 

the

 TV in the living room was 

on

. 

He carefully

 tiptoed there and saw Zhang Yan sitting on the sofa, watching TV. While watching, she was wiping her tears. She looked sad and strangely different. Her aura also changed as though she was another person. 

“What program 

was she

 watching?” I asked. 

Feng Yuanzheng didn’t think much

 and answered,

 “Feiyan of Han Palace. Th

at

 television drama is too old. I have never seen her 

watch

 it before. But it seems she has been watching it over and over these days. I 

didn’t really pay

 attention to it at first. But 

now that

 so many things have happened, I 

think

 it could be 

a

 clue 

to

 the problem.” 

I searched “Feiyan of Han Palace” 

on my

 phone. It was a soap opera about the love between Emperor Cheng of Han and his favorite concubine, Zhao Feiyan

. It was

 also the story about the sisters Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede. 

According to the

 legend, Zhao Feiyan 

was one

 of 

the most famous

 beauties in ancient times. She was a maid in Princess Yang’s residence

. 

Emperor Cheng of Han happened to 

see

 her during a private visit. He was enchanted by Zhao Feiyan’s mesmerizing eyes and beautiful voice.  

Moreover, with her slender

 and 

petite figure, she could perform various difficult dances. Legend has it that she could stand and dance in someone’s palm. It was also the reason Emperor Cheng of Han’s desire 

for

 conquest was aroused. The emperor visited her every night and didn’t want to leave her bed. 

Later on, Emperor Cheng of Han heard that Zhao Feiyan had a younger sister called Zhao Hede, 

who

 was even more charming. He brought Zhao Hede to his harem. It turned out Zhao Hede was a lewd but smart woman. She seized Emperor Cheng’s 

heart

, which 

put pressure on

 her older sister. In the end, she successfully took the position she coveted, leaving her sister to live in loneliness. 

After reading the document, I linked the information 

to

 the iron swallow and Zhang Yan’s current 

nasty

 personality. I thought it was Zhao Feiyan’s 

spirit

 that had troubled us. “

Senior Shu

, what should we do now?” 

“Do you still need to ask? Go beat her!” 

Senior Shu

 took the lead to the neighborhood. The two of us scurried after him. When we 

reached

 their house, 

Senior Shu

 and I put 

on some Yang 

Concealing Talismans. Feng Yuanzheng showed us the way to climb up the water pipe to reach their 

bath

room. 

Then, I heard a woman crying in the living room. I peeped through the door slit. It was 

as

 Feng Yuanzheng had 

described.

 Zhang Yan was watching “Feiyan of the Han Palace” with tears in her eyes. 

Her

 body was emitting green gas, which made the temperature 

of the room

 drop sharply. 

Ever s

ince we had accepted this case, we hadn’t seen the face of the 

spirit

 yet. Finally, 

there was a trace of her.

 I 

hurriedly

 smeared some drops of ox tears on my eyelids. A 

petite 

woman wearing a green dress 

sat next to 

Zhang Yan

, watching 

TV

. Her

 eyes were full of desperation. 

After I confirmed that she was Zhao Feiyan, I retreated

 and asked Senior Shu, 

“Do you want to storm over there?” 

“Just stay in this toilet. I’m going o

ver 

there. Together, we’ll clamp her.” Then, he crawled out through the window. 

“No matter what 

happens

 later, you have to stay here. If she comes near you, use this to hit

the nape of her neck!” I typed my advice on my phone and showed it to Feng Yuanzheng. Then, I gave him the Peach Soul Flower. 

Zhao Feiyan thought that Feng Yuanzheng was dead

, so s

he wouldn’t be aware of him. 

Since

 she was using a human body, she 

inherited its

 weaknesses. If Feng Yuanzheng were able to hit Zhang Yan with the Peach Soul 

Flower

, he would be able to 

exorcise

 Zhao Feiyan’s soul!  

Feng Yuanzheng understood my idea. He la

id

 down. I didn’t mind him anymore

 and was 

ready to take action with the Yin and Yang Umbrella in my hands. After a few encounters, I already knew that it was impossible to use the Sirius Whip to deal with Zhao Feiyan

.

Zhao Feiyan was still crying, and 

Senior Shu

 hadn’t done anything yet. I became anxious as the effective time of the Yang Concealing Talisman was almost over. 

After around ten minutes, Zhao Feiyan suddenly shot a look at the toilet. My heart sank. I 

lowered

 my head and found that the Yang Concealing Talisman’s power was gone, which exposed my Yang energy! 

For the time being, I didn’t know what to do. Then, the door of the bedroom behind Zhao Feiyan suddenly sprang open. 

Senior Shu

 jumped out

 and shouted

, “Evil creature! Today is your death day!”
