Ye Yan was already in rank two of the Qi-forging Realm, so his hearing and perception were much better than ordinary people. He could clearly see Liu Kan’s every move though he was on the opposite side of the river.

Truth be told, having been cooped up in the study for a long time without any sunlight, Liu Kan’s skin was especially fair. Coupled with the brocade robe he was wearing, he exuded a strong scholarly aura.

However, upon closer inspection, Liu Kan also looked very weak. Since he had not done any chores before, he spilled the water in the bucket that he had just filled when he tried to lift it but failed. Then, he slipped and fell to the ground, getting a lot of mud on him.

Liu Kan got up with difficulty and picked up the water bucket. Without any emotion, he began to draw water again. After filling up two buckets of water, he strenuously lifted them up. After that, he slowly walked back to the village while shaking. Ye Yan watched Liu Kan leave until his figure disappeared, then only did he realize that his bucket was full.

“Let’s go. We’ll carry the water up the mountain, and then we’ll go back to the village and talk to a few friends about our sect,” Ye Yan looked at Chen Geng while putting the shoulder pole back.

The latter was so happy when he heard that they were going to promote the sect that he jumped up and rushed up the mountain without Ye Yan’s order.

“That’s great! With this, everyone will know how powerful our sect is!” He had been holding it in for a long time and had always wanted to show off to others that he had a sect that allowed him to cultivate into a celestial.

Seeing that he was so excited, Ye Yan smiled, “I know you’re happy, but remember, don’t let too many people know about our sect’s affairs. Be careful that you’ll be in trouble if all of them come to cultivate.”

Chen Geng didn’t know, but Ye Yan understood that at the moment, all their friends in the village were doing farm work. No one was idle like them.

Ye Yan didn’t do farm work because he didn’t need to. Although Ye Dahai was ruthless in his words, in fact, he didn’t want Ye Yan to suffer at all. At most, he would ask his youngest son to do some small errands.

As for Chen Geng, there was only one reason. His family loved him too much. Perhaps it was because he was smart? Anyway, the Chen family did not ask Chen Geng to do any work. They let him do whatever he wanted.

It was also because of this that their peers had always been envious of them. After all, they had a lot of time and could do whatever they wanted. After carrying the water down the mountain, Ye Yan took Chen Geng to the village where they were going to find some of their friends.

It was already noon, and everyone was thinking about what they should do in the afternoon. The streets were deserted, but some people were gathered in front of Liu Hui’s house.

“Let’s go and take a look,” Ye Yan had been interested in Liu Kan, this young master, from just now. Seeing this scene, something must have happened to the Liu family.

The two of them sneaked into a corner and peeked inside. Inside was a white-robed old woman with disheveled hair. She was holding a wooden sword and pointing it at the surroundings. She was cackling as she jumped around, and her posture was hideous.

“Brother Yan, what’s going on?” Chen Geng, who had been learning the Dharmic technique for a day and a half, also noticed that something was wrong.

“The Liu family is in trouble…” Ye Yan’s face turned serious, “They’re performing witchcraft.”

Others might not understand this, but he knew it very well. Performing witchcraft was a scam where one pretended to be a witch and come to cheat people.

Ye Yan looked at the Liu family’s door plaque that was above his head, feeling surprised. Even the Liu family had hired a witch. Could something tricky have happened? At this time, the other people who were surrounding the Liu family’s door asked Liu Hui, “Brother Liu, what’s wrong with your family?”

“Yeah, why did you invite a witch?”

Liu Hui was very annoyed. He replied to everyone’s questions perfunctorily, “This morning, my wife fell unconscious for some reason. Her body temperature rose a little. I went to Doctor Xu outside the village and asked him to take a look, but the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with her. However, she has been in this state and has shown no signs of waking up.”

When the few listeners heard this, they immediately pulled a long face.

“What? Old Madam Liu couldn’t have been cursed by something, right? She fainted?”

“To think she’s bewitched. Let’s hurry up and leave. Don’t stay around, otherwise, you’ll be contaminated with unfortunate luck.”

For a moment, when the crowd of onlookers knew the possibility of someone in the Liu family being possessed, they immediately lost their calm and left in a hurry. Soon, only Liu Hui and Ye Yan were left in front of the Liu family’s door.

Liu Hui sighed when he saw the crowd disperse. He already knew the tricks of these old hags. However, the strong would not be angry with the weak, so he did not take their actions to heart.

Inside the Lin residence, Liu Hui’s mother-in-law seemed to have felt something. She opened the door and looked coldly at the group of people who were leaving hurriedly. She was so angry that she could not say a word. Then, she slammed the door shut.

“Something’s not right…” Ye Yan raised his head and looked inside.

That’s right, that aura had appeared again. The trace of aura that had flashed past on the mountain that time was very strong this time. There was definitely no mistake!

When Liu Hui’s mother-in-law had opened the door just now, the aura had been intense. It seemed that the Liu family was in trouble this time…

Just when Ye Yan was still on guard, Liu Kan had already returned with water. There were no servants in the Liu family. After all, no one would think of coming to work in a remote village. When Liu Hui saw his son return, he went up to help.

Ye Yan looked at Liu Kan and thought of that strange aura. A plan was brewing in his heart. Seeing Liu Hui carrying the two buckets of water in, Ye Yan gave Chen Geng a look, then walked quickly to Liu Kan.

“Brother Liu, you’re finally out. Why? Have you decided on the matter from before?” Ye Yan chuckled at Liu Kan as if they were close friends.

Liu Kan had never seen Ye Yan before, so he was a little flustered when a stranger talked to him, “You… You are?”

Ye Yan looked around. There were a few people here, plus Old Liu was still around. It was not convenient to talk here, so he said hurriedly, “Brother Liu, may I have a word with you?”

Before Liu Kan’s brain could react, Ye Yan signaled Chen Geng with his eyes. The latter understood and put his hand on Liu Kan’s shoulder with a chuckle, “Let’s go, Brother Liu. It’s not easy for you to come out, so I’ll show you something good! Let’s go, let’s go!”

With one pulling and one pushing, Liu Kan immediately disappeared from the door.

This scene happened to be seen by Liu Hui, who was walking out of the door. When he saw that other children had appeared beside his son, he finally smiled, “Hey, looks like this kid has made a friend. With this, the anger he suffered at home should be reduced by half, right? ”

In his heart, he did not agree with his wife’s way of raising the child.

In a corner, Ye Yan and Chen Geng pushed Liu Kan to a place where no one was around and stopped. Liu Kan was clearly a little flustered when he was suddenly pulled out by the two of them. He said in a trembling voice, “You two, what do you want?”

“Brother Liu, don’t be nervous,” Ye Yan showed a friendly smile, “I have my reasons for pulling you out here.”

Seeing Ye Yan’s serious expression, the fear in Liu Kan’s heart disappeared by half, and he was puzzled, “What’s wrong? What’s the reason?”

Ye Yan chuckled, reaching out his hand and making a gesture, “Brother Liu, watch carefully. No matter what you see next, don’t be shocked!”
