I wanted to cry, but my tears wouldn't come, so I waited for the instant death. In fact, not only did I not immediately die, I didn't even feel the slightest bit unwell.

I relaxed and leaned back against the covers, wondering.

My voice had indeed been sealed, and I pronounced it now, but I did not die instantly.

The Aunt Zhang was lying, the Aunt Tao was also lying, what was their reason for lying together?

I couldn't make a sound when I fell into the cave. When did I undo the seal on my voice?

Was it the ghosts in the rapids who accidentally helped me undo the seal when they bit me? Or did the man at the bow unseal me?

Just as I thought about it, the Aunt Tao had already brought the medicinal food into my room.

After I finished eating my medicine in silence, the Aunt Tao asked me what I had experienced under the stone cave.

I hesitated for a moment before deciding to use a pen and paper to communicate with the Aunt Tao. I wrote to tell the Aunt Tao that after falling from the cave, I fell into a deep pool and then was trapped in a stone maze.

Because I had some questions, and because my experience in the second layer of the cave was too unimaginable, my answers to Aunt Tao's questions were somewhat restrained.

After I finished answering her question, the Aunt Tao said that she had gone to see the stone cave again. There were a total of two levels under the stone cave, and both levels were filled with pools of water and stone wall mazes.

After falling to the first floor, as long as they activated the maze and walked out, the stone walls that formed the maze would automatically be set up and sent back to the cave.

How empty and empty it was behind the stone walls of the first floor, and how dangerous it was.

Those dangerous illusions didn't cause any real harm to people. They only frightened people's emotions.

If one were to take a step back in the first maze, he would fall into the second level. The situation in the second level was very strange.

The maze on the second level could not be activated. There was an empty stone table in the middle of it.

No matter what, he couldn't leave the second floor unless he had the help of a ghost.

At this point, the Aunt Tao took out my peach wood dagger from under my pillow and asked me what shortcut I had taken. In a short period of time, the mana of the peach wood dagger greatly increased.

Aunt Tao's question made my heart race. I said that Mother Du was very impressive, but I had unintentionally taken a shortcut from her.

I was just trying it out. I didn't think that the shortcut would actually work.

Before, the apartment building in our school had a lot of ghosts. During the days I stayed in the school, I barely slept at night in order to raise my peach wood dagger mana.

Aunt Tao chuckled, and said that I am also impatient and fat.

Fortunately, I didn't encounter any powerful ghosts, or I would have been in trouble.

In the end, my heart was a little more relaxed. I asked Aunt Tao on paper if I had to be mute for half a year, or else I would instantly die.

Aunt Tao slightly creased her forehead. After a moment of silence, she gave me a negative answer.

Aunt Tao said that after the Ghost Infant poison in my body was successfully suppressed into my body, I had to remain silent for a short period of time in order to protect my life. Otherwise, I would instantly die.

She sealed my voice, and there was a tattoo of her seal on my lips.

As the tattoo disappeared from my lips, I was able to speak again.

The question of when the tattoo on my lips will disappear has to do with my physique.

Under normal circumstances, it would take half a year for the tattoo on my lips to disappear. This is also the reason why she mentioned a time limit of half a year previously.

Aunt Tao asked me this question. I blushed at my suspicions and quickly told her that I was just asking casually.

Aunt Tao nodded, and asked me if anything had happened to Aunt Zhang recently.

I hesitated for a while before using a pen and paper to mention to Aunt Tao that she had borrowed money from me and would return the debt very quickly. I told him that Aunt Zhang had once said that she only had one relative left.

Even though I had promised Aunt Zhang that I wouldn't tell her private matters, seeing that she was alive and dead and her corpse was nowhere to be found, I couldn't hide it any longer.

I used a pen and paper to answer Aunt Tao's questions. I couldn't help but start to suspect that my accident might have something to do with Aunt Zhang taking someone's money to help them get rid of the disaster.

Four hundred thousand was nothing to the rich, but to Aunt Zhang, it was definitely a huge amount.

Borrowing money these days must be difficult.

The Aunt Zhang took care of me full-time, I have never seen her with anyone.

When I finished answering her question, Aunt Tao's eyes were filled with thoughts. When she opened her mouth again, she was telling me that she would send someone to check on the relatives and female ghosts of Aunt Zhang.

After Aunt Tao finished speaking, she went outside to pour me a cup of water to drink before urging me to continue resting.

I went to wash up and hid in my room to prevent Yu Kexin from feeling uncomfortable when she sees me.

Back in my room, I took the mirror to look at my lips. There were no tattoos on my lips.

According to Aunt Tao, the tattoo on my lips must have disappeared by itself.

Otherwise, if the tattoo on my lips had disappeared, I would have died instantly.

Lying in bed, I stared at the ceiling and wondered again what the man in the bow had meant by vanity.

At this point, Qi Xiaoxian understood me by heart and said that he had been holding back for a long time and had not contacted me for fear of delaying my rest. He said that he had seen how weak I was when I returned to the cave and asked how I was recovering.

I told Qi Xiaoxian that I didn't have any major problems, and after I slept for a while, I was much better.

Qi Xiaohan heaved a long sigh of relief and said that as long as there were no problems, he would be fine. He then asked my Aunt Tao if he found out the truth of the matter.

I told Qi Xiaoxian that we did not have it at the moment, and that all suspicion had fallen onto the missing Aunt Zhang.

He said that he felt that Yu Kexin was not some kind of good person. The Aunt Tao was able to flatten Yu Kexin with ease, she was too heartless to me.

I told Wei Xiao Han not to spout nonsense, and when he said that he would obey my orders, he changed the subject and started to remind me to be more careful in the future.

I fell fast asleep amid the chatter of Wei Xiaoxian's voice. I had a vague feeling that someone had come into my room and was looking at my lips.

I wanted to open my eyes and see clearly, but my eyelids were extremely heavy.

When I woke up again, it was already noon of the second day.

When I got up, I thought back to the vague feeling I had that night. It felt real.

When I came out of my room, the Aunt Tao told me that she had already applied for a leave of absence for me.

I nodded my head and wanted to ask the Aunt Tao if anyone had entered my room last night. After hesitating for a bit, I chose to ask.

Aunt Tao was pleasantly surprised. She quickly walked to my side and pulled my hand, smiling as she said that I was still troubled yesterday and could not speak. I was actually able to speak so quickly today.

Seeing Aunt Tao's smile, the corner of my mouth curled up. Aunt Tao opened his mouth again to tell me that no one had entered my room last night and asked me why I had such a question.

I linked my arms with Aunt Tao and said that I had a nightmare last night. Aunt Tao said that my body was void and having a nightmare was a normal situation.

At this point, an unfamiliar woman came out from the kitchen. Aunt Tao told me that it was her and she will take care of me.

When I called out to Aunt Zhao, there was an indescribable feeling in my heart. From Aunt Wang to Aunt Zhen to Aunt Zhang and to Aunt Zhao, the people in charge of taking care of me changed over and over again.

Fortunately, the Aunt Tao was here all along.

The Aunt Zhao smiled amiably and urged me to wash up. She said that lunch was my favorite taste and that she and the Aunt Tao cooked it together, waiting for me to wake up before starting to eat.

Aunt Zhao's voice was the voice that persuaded Aunt Tao to plead for Yu Kexin in the living room after I woke up yesterday.

I smiled at Aunt Zhao and immediately went to wash up, then have a meal with Aunt Tao and me.

During dinner time, Aunt Tao told me that Yu Kexin had some matters to take care of so she will be returning to Malaysia temporarily. Yu Kexin will be back before New Year's Eve.

I nodded my head and did not question him further. I knew that perhaps Yu Kexin really had something on, or perhaps it was her or Aunt Tao, who did not want the two of us to meet again in a short period of time.

After lunch, Aunt Tao began to teach me feng shui.

I listened carefully to my notes and stopped thinking about the grotto.

On Tuesday, when I was going to class, I met Qi Xiaohan at the school gate. When Qi Xiaohan saw me, he rushed over with a bright smile, and gave me a big hug.

There were many students at the entrance of the academy, so I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the sight of Qi Xiaoxian hugging me tightly. I immediately lifted my hand and twisted the flesh on his waist.

Qi Xiaohan frowned, and her expression immediately changed as she retreated. I saw that Ruan Tianye had also appeared in my line of sight.
