Hidden behind a tree, from a distance, two maids could be seen guarding the gate of the middle courtyard.

"The entire Yunxu Villa, except for the owner himself, seems to be all women." Xu Ziran touched his chin and said.

"Ah."

"You stay here first, I'll go over and ask alone."

As he said that, Xu Ziran walked up to the two maids and said, "It is said that the middle palace is the book of the Nine Palaces, so this middle courtyard must have its own characteristics. May I go in and take a look?"

A maid said: "I'm very sorry, without the owner's permission, you are not allowed to enter here."

"Okay, it was Xu who was abrupt."

He pretended to leave and went back behind the tree.

"It's clear that we won't let in. It seems that we can only probe quietly. I don't know if there is anyone guarding it."

Although these maids have no cultivation base, if they are standing at the door of the room, it is impossible to sneak in without anyone noticing.

"It would be great if Jiuwei Yaoyao was here." Xu Ziran sighed.

With its illusion, the impossible is completely possible.

Su Mo said, "Don't worry. I've scanned it with my spiritual sense, and there's no one inside. It's enough to escape the eyes of the two maids in front of the courtyard."

There is a big difference between guarding the courtyard gate and guarding the house gate.The two tiptoed over the wall and got in easily.

Xu Ziran said strangely: "By the way, not only are the servants of this Yunxu Villa strangely female, but the number of servants is also too small. The Kunyuan where we live has only one maid in the whole courtyard. And the largest middle courtyard is also There are only two maids. After all, there are only a dozen or so servants in such a huge villa?"

Su Mo pondered: "Don't forget, the women who married into Yunxu Villa died one by one."

"! You mean that even the maid here..."

Su Mo nodded: "Very likely."

Xu Ziran felt a chill in his heart: "Let's go in and see what's going on here."

The two of them naturally set their sights on the largest building in the courtyard.

Glazed tiles, resplendent in gold and jade, and the three characters of "Yunxu Pavilion" are shining brightly. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a palace.

Pushing open the heavy door, Xu Ziran was stunned by the scene in front of him.

There are all kinds of stone tablets, large and small, in the hall. When you first enter, you may even think that you have entered a cemetery.

"Could it be Oracle Bone Inscriptions?" He leaned in front of a stone tablet, looking at the words on the tablet and muttering to himself.

"Do you understand?" He asked Su Mo.

Su Mo shook his head: "Although I can't understand the words on it, these steles are brand new, and they must have been brought here after Shen Xufeng returned from Jeju Island."

"But if you don't understand it, you won't be able to see the mystery inside."

"Not necessarily." Su Mo said lightly, "This doesn't look like human writing. I thought of a new possibility."

Xu Ziran tilted his head: "What possibility?"

"I've never thought about it before." Su Mo smiled lightly, as if mocking himself.After a pause, he said, "Shen Xufeng probably has a soul."

"Yuan Shen?" Xu Ziran had heard of this term when he first came to this continent.Ever since the Dark Soul Orb incident was over, he never thought about it again.

"Before, Shen Xufeng had a powerful battle pet by his side, so he dared to go to Jeju Island. On the island, he encountered a rather difficult nine-headed demon snake, and his war pet lost. The war pet wanted a savior, The master wanted to survive, so the battle pet became the primordial spirit attached to Shen Xufeng's body. With the power of the primordial spirit, Shen Xufeng successfully killed the nine-headed demon snake. This is exactly why we can't perceive his cultivation. But the reason why he can defeat many masters."

"And the characters on these stone tablets belong to the world of spirit beasts. After Shen Xufeng possessed the primordial spirit, he naturally inherited his battle pet's ability to recognize these characters."

Xu Ziran had some doubts: "Wait, do you mean that after the battle pet becomes the primordial spirit, the power it bestows on its master is much stronger than the battle pet itself?"

"Looks like it should be."

"Looks like it?" Xu Ziran frowned.

Su Mo explained: "Although the theory of the primordial spirit is well known in the comprehension world, I have never seen anyone with a primordial spirit before. So I never thought about it before."

"So that's how it is." Xu Ziran said thoughtfully, "But this unprecedented thing was actually done by a scholar like Shen Xufeng."

"But no matter how you say it, Shen Xufeng's cultivation problem has been resolved. The only thing left is his marriage and killing of his wife."

At this time, Xu Ziran and Su Mo suddenly looked up at the door at the same time.Someone is approaching this hall!

"Shen Xufeng should be here." Xu Ziran looked around: "How about we hide behind these monuments?"

Su Mo shook his head: "His steps are steady and powerful, and his goal is clear. He should already know that we are here."

"..."

The heavy door of Yunxu Pavilion was pushed open again, making a creaking sound.

Xu Ziran walked up with a cheeky face, and said, "I heard that Yunxu Villa has the architectural style of a Jiangnan water town, so we came here to take a closer look."

Shen Xufeng smiled, with an expression that he had known earlier: "It's okay. It's just that next time, if the two young masters want to visit somewhere, I hope I can tell Shen in advance. If you want to appreciate the style of Jiangnan architecture, Shen will be the one. Explain, wouldn’t it be more efficient to take the two to visit?”

"It's still Master Shen who is thoughtful."

Shen Xufeng stretched out his hand and said to the outside of the hall, "You two, please."

After being "invited" out of the palace like this, Xu Ziran felt like he had been sapped silently.

But Shen Xufeng's thoughtful etiquette made him know that the other party was chasing him away, but he couldn't say anything against him.He hoped that Shen Xufeng would reprimand them loudly, and then they could tear off the disguise and forcefully ask everything clearly.

"Why haven't you spoken?" He asked Su Mo after leaving the hall.

"You must be dissatisfied with my handling method." Su Mo said with downcast eyes.

"You must be dissatisfied?" Xu Ziran asked strangely, "Why are you so sure?"

Su Mo didn't answer.

"Forget it," Xu Ziran waved his hand, "The Yunxu Temple is weird, and I feel uncomfortable staying there. Anyway, I can't understand the words on it, so I just went out."

He yawned, rubbed his eyes and said, "I was caught on the spot just now, and I'm a little sleepy, so I won't go to explore the villa tonight."

Su Mo said, "Well, there's no rush for this matter. If it doesn't work, when he's about to marry another wife, we'll stop him."

Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Shen Xufeng looked at the backs of the two people who were gradually going away, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
