Chapter 106 The Du Family’s Crisis

"what..."

"Mr. Chu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Du Xueer was shocked. Could it be that he saw through it?

"Hehe..." Chu He chuckled and said, "Miss Xue'er, you don't have to pretend. I am a warrior and my cultivation is pretty good."

Du Xueer looked puzzled. Is there any connection between the two?

The martial artists who guarded the Du family were also entry-level martial artists, and there were also seventh-level blood-exchanging martial artists, and no problems were found.

According to the intelligence, didn't he just break through to the seventh level?

Seeing that she was still confused, Chu He could only explain, "Miss Xue'er, you have too much ghost energy. It's fine under the sun, but once you enter the pavilion, it's like a light in the dark."

"Ah?" Du Xue'er was truly shocked. She stared at Chu He with wide eyes and said, "Ghostly energy? Master Chu, are you seeing things? How could there be such a thing on me?"

"Well, it seems that Miss Xue'er, you yourself don't understand?" Now it was Chu He's turn to be surprised. He thought that the other party came to him because of the ghost energy on her body.

Du Xueer nodded quickly and asked, "Mr. Chu, do you know what's going on? Why am I..."

When Du Xueer said this, she suddenly stopped.

She thought of the strange man she met in the ancient temple that day. He was wearing tattered clothes and behaved in a rigid manner, like a zombie?

Although she had no military power, these strange books about monsters and demons happened to be the favorite reading materials for girls like her.

She had read quite a few of them before, and when Chu He mentioned them, she immediately thought of those strange descriptions.

A chill ran down my spine.

She let the ghost get close to her? And she let the ghost use some tricks on her?

"Ms. Xue'er, have you thought of anything?" Chu He looked at her anxiously.

Du Xueer nodded and continued to tell about her encounter with the strange man a few days ago.

After listening to this, Chu He fell into deep thought.

"I've got it..." After a moment, an idea flashed through Chu He's mind, "Miss Xue'er, please stretch out your hand and then lift up your sleeve."

Du Xueer nodded slightly.

Although she didn't know what Chu He meant, she knew deep down that Chu He would never harm her.

"Sorry for the offense." Chu He made an apologetic gesture towards her.

Then he gently grasped the pair of delicate little hands with his left hand, and with his right hand he made a sword-like finger and slashed across Du Xueer's arm.

Then, in the sight of the two people.

A thin black line appeared on Du Xueer's little arm, and the thin line was still flashing, slowly spreading towards the palm of her hand, but the speed was very slow, which was very strange.

"Mr. Chu, what's this?" Du Xueer calmed down at this time.

"The marriage line of the seventh-rank ghost bride!" Chu He looked at her and said in a relaxed tone.

He was worried because he didn't know what it was, but now he knew what it was, and it was just a small seventh-grade ghost.

He can destroy it with just a wave of his hand, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Ghost bride?" Du Xue'er turned her head away in thought for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "But are these the women who were killed by their loved ones and were waiting to be married?"

Chu He nodded and took over the topic, "So, Miss Xue'er, the man you saw that night was the Ghost Bride's beloved. He must have had lustful feelings for you, so the Ghost Bride set the marriage thread on you."

Having said that, Chu He took another closer look at the length of the black line and continued, "Based on this length, tomorrow night should be Miss Xue'er's wedding day."

Chu He's tone was full of sighs.

Should I say that his fiancée is really lucky?

If it had been two days later, this woman would have died.

The Ghost Bride is based on the guilt of killing a loved one.

Instinctively, he tied a marriage thread to Du Xueer, but once they had their wedding night, even if Du Xueer could finally hold out against the ghost groom's ghost spirit, she would still be killed by the ghost bride who had regained consciousness to vent her anger.

And it was the kind of brutal killing that tore people apart!

"Master Chu, I'm sorry, Xue'er didn't know about this. I will go back and ask the martial artist at home to deal with them..."

"What is the level of your martial artist?" Chu He asked curiously.

"Qi Bo is at the late seventh stage!"

"Late seventh-grade?" Chu He pondered inwardly for a moment, then said, "Miss Xue'er, you don't know that although the Ghost Bride is only late seventh-grade, she carries a lot of resentment. An ordinary late seventh-grade cultivator would probably not be her match."

"Another thing, since you call him Qi Bo, you must be quite old. If you face such an evil spirit, you will suffer a lot."

What he said was true. Only the fourth level could seal the qi and blood in the whole body and prevent it from leaking until death.

For warriors of the fourth rank and above, their Qi and blood will become weaker and weaker as they age. At this time, even their realm cannot be maintained for long.

Not to mention facing a seventh-grade ghost bride who is at the peak of her powers.

"Ah...what should I do?" Du Xueer's face turned pale.

In her understanding, Qi Bo was already the best master in the Du Mansion. If it weren't for Qi Bo's protection, their Du Mansion would have been wiped out by those evil people over the years.

"Miss Xue'er, if you trust me, stay here tonight. Tomorrow night, I will make sure they never return. As long as you kill the ghost bride, the marriage thread on your body will naturally disappear."

Chu He looked at Du Xueer and said softly.

"But that won't implicate Master Chu..." Du Xueer said embarrassedly.

"It's okay." Chu He waved his hand.

"Hmm..." Even though she has appeared in public a lot in the past two years, she is still a virgin after all. Du Xueer's face turned slightly red, and a warm feeling came from her face.

"Then thank you for your help, Master Chu..." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito. If Chu He had not been so advanced in cultivation, he might not have been able to hear clearly.

However, Chu He felt that Du Xueer must have other things in her mind, but she was unwilling to say it, so he would wait a little longer.

Go out tonight and ask Diezi in Tianjing City to find out.

Diezi is the eyes and ears of the Ninth Princess Dawn.

During this period of time, after Chuhe's reconstruction and elimination of its previous shortcomings, its intelligence capabilities have increased exponentially, and its concealment capabilities are incomparable to before.

Isn't it easy to find out about the Du family?

......

Midnight.

A handsome man appeared in a farmer's house in the city. A moment later, a figure flew in from outside.

"Sir!" The visitor saluted immediately upon seeing the man.

The man was Chu He who came out to gather information, and the figure that flew in was Diezi who went to gather information after receiving his order.

"Have you found out clearly?!" Chu He asked softly.

"Sir, the Du family sells purple silk fabrics and has always supplied them to the royal palace. However, this time, the Du family's fabrics were robbed while passing near Suoxian Mountain. All of them were looted."

"Originally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but I've discovered that Du Xue'er, the head of the Du family, just received an order from the palace for 100,000 rolls of purple gauze two months ago. It was personally ordered by the Queen, and it was given to the concubines of the various palaces. If the Du family makes a mistake, they might offend the Queen and be executed!"

Chu He raised his eyebrows. This is really a difficult task. Is this girl afraid that she will be too lonely on the road to the underworld, so she comes to find him?

"But is there anything else?"

"Yes, sir." The visitor nodded and continued, "While I was looking through the materials, I found traces of the involvement of the Minister Hu. I suspect this matter may be related to the Hu family?"

"Oh? Tell me."

"While sorting through the major events in Tianjing City these past two days, I've come across something interesting. Hu Feiyue, the eldest son of the Imperial Secretary Hu, has been frequently visiting the Du family these past few days. However, one day, he got into a fight with a Du family servant. Before he left, he threatened to make the Du family beg him on their knees."

"And two days ago, several members of the Hu family left the city at night, masked, heading towards Locking Immortal Mountain!"

After listening to Diezi's information, Chu He's mind became basically clear.

"Are you trying to force a marriage through this method?" Chu He pondered in his heart.

Then, he looked at Diezi and asked, "Does Hu have any backers?"

"Sir, based on intelligence clues, it is preliminarily determined that he is the Third Prince's man."

Diezi thought for a moment and reported.

"Alright, you can go down now. Continue to observe the situation at the Du family. If you see anything wrong, let me know immediately!"

"Yes, sir." Diezi bowed and said goodbye before leaving.

"The Third Prince, right?"

"I have to find a way to get you out..."

Chu He muttered a few words in his heart and then disappeared.

……

"Hmm? What's that smell?"

Chu He, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up and a strong fragrance came into his nose.
