Chapter 9

Inside the room, a beautiful young woman around twenty-seven or twenty-eight was lying on the bed watching TV. She had a full, rounded forehead and a stylishly square face. Her features were striking and refined, though her complexion was a bit pale.

“Master Qiao, this is my daughter Jiang Keke. Keke, this is Master Qiao.”

Jiang Keke rolled her eyes, looking exactly like President Jiang.

“Heh.”

“Jiang Keke, you were bleeding when you fell, right? Where did you get hurt? Let me see.”

Jiang Keke paused, then burst out laughing.

“Mom, I told you this master was a fraud. I didn’t bleed at all-I just twisted my ankle.”

She shot me a smug look, lifting her chin with pride.

“Gotcha, didn’t I?”

President Jiang instantly lit up, walking over to take Jiang Keke’s hand.

“Sweetheart, I knew it. Only you and your dad have any sense in this house. Master Qiao, please see yourself out.”

I frowned deeply and reached out, making a quick calculation with my fingers.

“That’s impossible. The 19th of Shen Month, between 3 and 5 PM, Xun Position Moon Wane, the energy is weakest. If the Soul-Sealing Array injured you, there must’ve been blood.”

Jiang Keke froze, then scratched her head, looking a bit uneasy.

“I did fall a little after four… You can even figure that out?”

President Jiang said, “Sweetheart, don’t believe her. Haoyan must have told her.”

I gave Jiang Keke a stern glare, then suddenly strode over and gripped her hand firmly.

“You must’ve bled somewhere! Tell me, now!”

Jiang Keke was startled, blinking her eyes. Then suddenly, she smacked her forehead.

“Ah! I remember! After I fell, my period started. Does that count?”

Her period? That’s a normal bodily function. When the Soul-Sealing Array injures someone, it would never trigger a period.

I stared at Jiang Keke for a moment, and a terrifying thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
