"Sorcery?" Old Master Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

He had certainly heard of sorcery.

But wasn’t this kind of dark thing supposedly unique to countries like Thailand? How did Biyue in the Capital City end up entangled with such people?

Suppressing his thoughts, Old Master Chen hurriedly asked what he was most concerned about: "Master, my son, is he...?"

Gu Shengyin nodded: "After a while, when it reaches midnight tonight, I will perform a ritual to see if I can summon his soul back."

Old Master Chen’s face showed a sign of gratitude: "Thank you, Master."

He glanced at the time and said, "Master, why don’t you rest a bit? I’ll have the kitchen prepare something to eat..."

Gu Shengyin had arrived close to evening and had eaten dinner before coming, so she simply shook her head when she heard this. "If possible, could you prepare a room for me? I need to rest a while."

Old Master Chen had no objections, of course.

In homes like the Chen Family’s, there were always several vacant guest rooms in the villa, kept clean daily for sudden guests to stay.

Gu Shengyin followed Old Master Chen outside but left the White Tiger in the room.

Old Master Chen was puzzled, so Gu Shengyin explained: "The people behind this might know I’m here to lift the sorcery from Young Master Chen. They might come to cause trouble tonight."

Old Master Chen’s expression became serious upon hearing this. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

He recalled Gu Shengyin’s earlier words and suddenly asked softly: "Master, do you know who the person behind this is?"

Gu Shengyin had not hidden her knowledge of the matter from the start and straightforwardly nodded.

Seeing Old Master Chen’s hesitant expression, she suddenly spoke: "Don’t ask who it is. I’ve said what I needed to say. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

Watching Gu Shengyin enter the room, Old Master Chen felt a bit bewildered.

After hearing such words, was there anything he couldn’t understand?

This master had said such things to Qiqi upon entering, and Qiqi’s reaction was indeed somewhat strange.

Could it be, as the master said, that the person behind harming Biyue is Qiqi?

Old Master Chen did not want to believe this possibility at all.

His son and daughter, both are dear to him.

Without concrete evidence, he absolutely wouldn’t believe that his daughter would do such a heinous thing to her own brother.

Gu Shengyin entered the room. She sat in a chair, finally relaxing her demeanor.

Though still calm, she no longer had that lofty and indifferent aura in front of Old Master Chen.

The puppet doll flew out of her pocket on its own.

Surprised, Gu Shengyin asked, "Doll, is there something wrong?"

The doll stared at her unwaveringly, then opened its mouth wide and said distinctly, "Sleep!"

Gu Shengyin laughed softly: "I am not tired."

In her view, perhaps because she requested a rest, the little thing thought she was weary.

Chen Biyue looked at Gu Shengyin, aware that as a contract puppet, he knew the previous minor exertion didn’t mean much for Di Yin.

But considering she’d perform the ritual for him at midnight, he wanted her to rest more.

Thus, Gu Shengyin watched the little doll in front of her, as if it hadn’t heard her at all, and repeated: "Sleep!"

Alright then.

Gu Shengyin thought helplessly, since there’s nothing pressing, she might as well sleep.
