After finding the Death Jade, Wu Ji stopped people from digging anymore. The reason for the murder in this house must be related to this human-shaped Death Jade.

Knife-scarred Man and the bodyguards could not tell what was special about the stone, but because of curiosity, Knife-scarred Man held the Death Jade in his hand and played with it for a while, then suddenly frowned: "This stone …"

"What's wrong with this rock?" You guys are all being so weird, let me see! " A bodyguard said in disbelief.

Knife-scarred Man passed the Death Jade over to him, and when he took a look at it, he immediately revealed a look of disbelief and fear, then immediately placed it on the table: "Why do I feel like when I hold this stone in my hands, all the hairs on my body stand up, I feel like there is someone standing behind me!"

As he said that, he shivered, and subconsciously took a step back, wanting to create some distance between him and the Death Jade.

Wu Ji didn't seem to be uncomfortable at all. He held the Death Jade in his hand and looked at it carefully, then turned to Knife-scarred Man and said: "The reason is found. You can give this piece of Death Jade to your old master."

Knife-scarred Man looked down at the Death Jade, but hesitated and did not receive it. He only said: "It's better for the mages to personally tell this to the Master, only then will they understand this matter better, after all, we do not understand this matter."

Wu Ji thought for a moment, then nodded lightly.

After tossing and turning for a long time, it was almost dawn. Even if we wanted to see the old master, we had to wait until daybreak. We decided to take a break here and set off at daybreak.

I rarely stayed up late, so by now I was too sleepy to sit up on the sofa and start to fall asleep.

While in a daze, he heard Knife-scarred Man talking to Wu Ji, asking him how he found this rock, and why he said that this stone was related to the house being haunted.

Wu Ji's character, which was as gentle as gold and was against strangers, would naturally not be explained in detail. He only told Knife-scarred Man that there was a vengeful spirit within the Death Jade.

As soon as Wu Ji finished speaking, I didn't hear any other people speak, so I snickered and closed my eyes as I fell asleep.

Perhaps it was because I was too tired, but I slept all the way until dawn, and was even awakened by Wu Ji. The carriage was waiting for us outside to go see the house owner, and said that if I wasn't willing, I wouldn't go.

I wondered what the old man was like. He was so rich and powerful in our little city.

It was still the talkative driver who came to meet us.

"Mage, I heard that you guys really saw a ghost last night, and even found one?" How did you find it? " When the driver saw Wu Ji, he could not wait and kept asking.

Wu Ji indifferently swept a glance over him, "I just found it like that."

I snickered while the driver choked on his words.

This time, the car drove directly back into the city center and stopped in front of a high-class residential building.

I thought the old master's house would be very luxurious, with so many bodyguards, and that the construction of a house on the outskirts of the city would be very elaborate.

After Si heard my words, he smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, even I, who is beside me, don't know how many houses our master has. I heard that he went to find Master Feng Shui to take a look around and he chose the top floor of this building, saying that it would benefit our master's fortune. "Moreover …"

The driver suddenly stopped mid-sentence, revealing a strange expression.

I couldn't help but ask, "And what?"

However, he merely smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing. As his subordinates, it's not good for us to discuss these things."

Seeing that he wasn't willing to say anything, I couldn't help but twitch my mouth. However, it wasn't good for me to continue pursuing the matter. After all, this was his private matter.

When we took the elevator to the top floor, we discovered that the top floor was actually so big, it didn't look like a main house at all. There were a few calligraphies and paintings everywhere, it looked like we had entered a private museum.

We were ushered in, and sat for a while in the drawing-room; and the chauffeur, having ordered tea for us, went to fetch his master.

After a while, a door opened and I saw an old man in his seventies or eighties, with gray hair, walk out. He had a walking stick in his hand, and although he looked quite old, his back was very straight.

Seeing him come out, Wu Ji and I stood up. The old man walked over slowly: "Hello, I'm Cao Fenglin."

"Hello, Old Master Cao." I greeted him politely with a smile.

Wu Ji also nodded slightly and replied: "Hello, Master Cao."

"Please take a seat, please." At the same time Cao Fenglin gave up his seat for us, he also let the butler by his side help him to sit down.

"I heard that you two found something in my newly built residence. May I take a look?" The moment Cao Fenglin sat down, he went straight to the point.

Wu Ji took out that piece of Death Jade from his bag, and didn't give it to Cao Fenglin directly, instead he placed it on the table in front of him.

Cao Fenglin also seemed to have noticed this detail, he did not personally take action, but instead gave a look to the butler beside him.

The butler understood and immediately went forward to pick up the Death Jade, but in less than two seconds, he picked it up. His expression changed, and he immediately put it back on the table.

Last night, Cao Fenglin and the butler must have already known about the reactions of the Knife-scarred Man and the unbelieving bodyguards, which was why they acted this way.

Cao Fenglin looked at the butler's reaction, but did not ask any further. However, he should have known clearly in his heart that something was amiss with this Death Jade, something was definitely off.

He still did not have the intention to kill it himself, but asked Wu Ji instead, "I wonder how the Mage knew that place on the second floor had such a thing?"

Wu Ji pursed his lips into a smile that was yet not a smile: "I saw it."

"You saw it?" Cao Fenglin frowned, and asked after pausing for a moment, "How did you see it? I heard that the mage was only sitting in the living room for a long time last night. After that, I noticed that there was something in the room on the second floor.

Cao Fenglin's words sounded like a question out of curiosity, but looking at his expression and tone of voice, I somehow felt that he was testing and even doubting it.

Actually, I was also very curious as to how Wu Ji found that piece of land and died, but I am sure that it was due to his own ability, but Cao Fenglin and the others weren't very clear about his abilities, so they were naturally very suspicious. It seems like they suspected that Wu Ji had buried that thing, or at least knew about it.

"There are some things that even if you were to tell me, I'm afraid that Mr. Cao would not believe you." Wu Ji acted as if he did not plan to explain.

I didn't want him to be suspected of having misunderstood, so I added, "Mr Cao asked us to solve the problem. Now that the matter has been resolved, why should we go into depth on how it was resolved?"

My tone wasn't very polite, and his expression wasn't very nice either. Cao Fenglin obviously frowned when he heard what I said, thinking that with his status, there are very few people who would dare to speak to him directly and impolitely.

But it doesn't matter to me. I don't need him to eat or drink. After this matter is resolved, we probably won't meet again in this life. There's nothing to be afraid of.

But then, he suddenly laughed, "Little girl, you're right. As long as you're done with it, it's good. I value the result. Since you're not willing to talk about the process, then I don't have to ask."

It was currently lunch time, Cao Fenglin insisted on asking us to stay for lunch, he said that he still had some things that he needed Wu Ji's help with.

Wu Ji looked at me, and only after seeing that I did not object, did he agree.

Cao Fenglin only ate simple food, they were all normal dishes. What he had were all vegetarian dishes, while the meat dishes were almost all placed in front of us. It was only later on did I find out that he was vegetarian, it had already been a few years.

I was indeed rather hungry, so I didn't try to eat it. Wu Ji, on the other hand, had almost no entrance to his mouth. He only drank a few mouthfuls of water and ate two chopsticks worth of vegetables. At other times, he would give me some food with his chopsticks and chat with Cao Fenglin at the same time.

"Actually, I have another request for you two today." During the meal, Cao Fenglin suddenly spoke out as he looked at Wu Ji.

I also curiously stopped my chopsticks, waiting to hear what other request he had from Wu Ji.

Could it be that Cao Fenglin's family had encountered more than this?
