At this moment, on the other side.

“Your Highness, we can now confirm that there are other evil spirits here. Including the blood jade pendant in your hand, it didn’t appear in Oriole Village for no reason. It was deliberately arranged.” In the courtyard, Shen Liu’an sat opposite Huo Junhan.

Between the two of them was a stone table with refreshments on it.

Huo Junhan picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea. He gave Yan Bei a look.

Yan Bei immediately bent down to pour a cup of tea for Shen Liu’an and said, “General Shen, I don’t know if you’ve seen from the dossier that something strange happened in Oriole Village three years ago.”

Shen Liu’an nodded. “You’re talking about three years ago, when Oriole Village encountered a mudslide. The entire village was buried by the mudslide, but there were no casualties?”

“That’s right.” Yan Bei nodded. “Logically speaking, the entire village was buried alive by the mudslide proficiency. It’s already a blessing that no one died, but it’s very strange that no one was injured.”

…..

“There’s indeed something fishy about this matter. 1 remember that the Imperial Preceptor’s residence also sent people here to take a look,” Shen Liu’an said with a frown.

“At that time, the Imperial Preceptor’s residence did send people to take a look, but they couldn’t find anything. The villagers in the village said that the Mountain God had appeared and blessed them,” Yan Bei said.

Shen Liu’an frowned and fell into deep thought.

If the Mountain God appeared this time, it wasn’t impossible.

However, what he saw in the dossier was that in the three years after the mudslide proficiency disaster, there were a few more disasters around Oriole Village. However, those disasters seemed to have completely avoided Oriole Village and only wreaked havoc in the surrounding villages. The other villages had also suffered heavy casualties, but Oriole Village had been safe and sound.

Two years ago, there was a drought on Oriole Mountain, and it hadn’t rained for half a year. Most of the other villages around Oriole Mountain had moved to escape, but no one from Oriole Village had left. They had still survived this disaster. No one in the village had died from this disaster.

Could it be that in the past three years, Oriole Village has completely relied on that Mountain God to avoid disasters every time?

This was a little unbelievable.

It could be said that for the past three years, the records and files regarding Oriole Village had always been peaceful. It was only recently that the appearance of the blood jade pendant and the cat demon disrupted this strange tranquility.

“There’s no cemetery or ancestral hall in this village.” Huo Junhan’s voice suddenly sounded cold.

“There’s no cemetery, no ancestral hall…” Shen Liu’an frowned. “Don’t tell me no one died in this village?”

“Before the blood jade pendant and cat demon appeared here, no one had died here for a long time,” Yan Bei said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a secret guard in black walked forward and bowed to Huo Junhan. He said, “Your Highness, Village Chief Huang’s daughter wants to see you. If you don’t see her, she plans to bang her head against the door.”

Shen Liu’an immediately looked at Huo Junhan suspiciously.

He felt that Huo Junhan wouldn’t care about such a thing, let alone his subordinates.

“Ahem, General Shen, His Highness said that if there are any abnormal movements in the village, we have to inform him.” Yan Bei seemed to have seen through Shen Liu’an’s doubts and leaned over to whisper in his ear.

Shen Liu’an nodded in realization. Then, he heard Huo Junhan say coldly,

“Bring her here.”

Shen Liu’an didn’t expect Huo Junhan to really see Huang Xing’er. He couldn’t help but look at him deeply..
