Chapter 167
Li Jiao’s laughter grew even more deranged.
“Killing a few brats couldn’t be easier. I’ll cast the spell late tonight!”
“Jinlong, my precious darling, did you bring back those people’s birth dates and times?”
Li Jinlong hurriedly handed over the birth dates he had copied for Hua Jiunan and the other two.
With an ingratiating smile, he said, “Auntie, I only managed to get their dates of birth. I don’t know the exact hours…”
“Will that work?”
Li Jiao smiled eerily. “They’re only a few wet-behind-the-ears boys. It’s enough-more than enough!”
She paused, and the lustful gleam in her eyes intensified.
“I wonder what those three boys look like?”
“If they’re presentable, this grand aunt wouldn’t mind letting them enjoy themselves before they die…”
“Cackle, cackle, cackle!”
Chen Daji was in a rather bad mood that evening.
The latest of his countless love letters to Li Yun had once again been returned, covered in corrections to his wording, grammar, and punctuation.
The random circles and crosses all over the letter were just like Chen Daji’s heart at that moment-a complete and utter mess.
“Ah, give me a cup of forgetfulness, and I’ll trade it for one night beside you…”
As Chen Daji stood outside the dormitory singing at the top of his lungs to vent his misery, Zhao Fei arrived.
“Hahaha! What happened, did Li Yun mark it up and send it back again?”
“Is that why you’re howling out here?”
“I don’t have any potion of forgetfulness. Will yesterday’s piss do?”
Chen Daji flew into a theatrical rage and lunged at Zhao Fei with a howl.
“Fatty, you came here looking for death! Don’t blame Master Ji for showing no mercy!”
“Bring it on, Little Chick! You think the great Fatty is afraid of you?”
Refusing to back down, Zhao Fei immediately began wrestling with Chen Daji.
The two rolled over and over, fighting all the way from the doorway into the dormitory.
Hua Jiunan could not be bothered to stop their horseplay. He looked up at the dim moon instead.
For some reason, a sense of agitation gnawed at him.
Just then, Old Sixth Hui and Eighth Master Chang sped toward him from the distance.
Like an image flickering across a television screen, they paused several times and appeared before Hua Jiunan.
Naturally, ordinary students could not see these two spirit mediums.
Hua Jiunan stepped forward to greet them.
“Sixth Brother, Eighth Master, what brings you here?”
Eighth Master Chang raised the pot of instant noodles curled in his tail to his mouth and noisily slurped down a large bite.
“Hey, Brother Hui said someone wanted to use evil sorcery against the young master physician, so I figured I’d come see whether there was a chance to earn some merit.”
“If things go badly, I’ll immediately take you and that little bastard and run.”
Only then did Eighth Master Chang notice Chen Daji was missing.
“Hey, where’s that little bastard? Why can’t I see him?”
“Did he fall into a latrine and drown?”
Inside, the physically disadvantaged Chen Daji had already been pinned beneath Zhao Fei.
Hearing Eighth Master Chang’s voice, he immediately cried for help.
“Eighth Master! Eighth Master! I’m in here! Fatty Zhao is beating me up!”
“Quick! Tag in! Tag in!”
Eighth Master Chang swept into the room like a gust of wind. Far from helping Chen Daji, he struck him hard with his tail.
“Hahaha! Fatty Zhao, put more muscle into it and finish this little bastard off!”
“This Eighth Master has faith in you!”
Zhao Fei shouted back, “Don’t worry, Eighth Master! I’ll beat him until he’s cowed into submission. Just watch!”
Old Sixth Hui was far more reliable than Eighth Master Chang.
He bowed and said softly, “There are too many eyes and ears here. May I ask the young master physician to speak somewhere private?”
Hua Jiunan helped the Gray Family Patriarch upright with a smile.
“Sixth Brother, didn’t we agree that you don’t have to be so formal anymore?”
“There are no outsiders in the dormitory. Let’s talk inside.”
After Old Sixth Hui relayed the intelligence brought back by the little mice, he added, “This petty sorcery from beyond the civilized realm is no match for me alone.”
“Chang Huaiyuan and the other two are continuing to watch Huimu Mountain and Jinguang Temple.”
Hua Jiunan finally understood the source of his unease.
“In that case, I’ll have the other students stay in another dormitory tonight.”
“There’s no reason to let innocent people get caught in this.”
