When I opened my eyes, a golden long knife flashed before me.
Recalling that they intended to take my child away, I instantly became alert.
"What are you doing?" I shouted angrily.
It was Bai Qiling. He swatted my outstretched hand away and said, "Don't move, I'm treating you."
"No! No one can take my child!"
I raised my fist and swung it toward Bai Qiling's face, but to my surprise, it passed through the air without causing him any harm.
He looked at me with narrowed eyes. "Woman, no one wants to harm your child."
I didn't believe him and questioned loudly, "Then what are you doing?"
Bai Qiling was already quite impatient, but he still explained, "I'm detoxifying you. You just fainted from the poison."
I formed a Ghost Suppression Technique and shot it toward him, halting his movements.
Bai Qiling stepped forward and yelled at me, "Woman, are you crazy?"
Detoxifying? He had clearly said that detoxification required taking the child first. Now he was claiming to detoxify me—wasn't that just a pretext to take my child?
The thought of my child filled me with rage. I drew Shiro from my back and charged at him.
Anger clouded my vision; anyone who dared to touch my child would face my wrath.
His strength was considerable as he dodged my Shiro and grabbed me by the throat.
If it were any other time, I would have stopped, but now I was beyond furious. I twisted away from his grip and grabbed Shiro, charging at him recklessly.
His movements were somewhat sluggish as he barely managed to restrain my hand. His gaze lingered on my dagger, and he chuckled, "Oh, I didn't expect Xuan Wang to give you this treasure. It seems he really intends to take you home."
"This dagger belongs to Mu Xuanche," I retorted.
He looked at me in surprise. "You don't know? How did you come by this dagger then?"
Thinking of the child in my womb, I pushed those thoughts aside and lunged forward, seeking revenge for my child.
He held onto me tightly and then shouted at the top of his lungs, "Xuan Wang, this woman has gone mad! Hurry up!"
Suddenly, the door burst open under a powerful force.
A shadow rushed in, and I was enveloped by a familiar aura. I knew he had arrived.
"What’s going on?"
Mu Xuanche's cold voice echoed above me.
Bai Qiling pointed at me with an angry expression. "This woman is trying to kill me!"
Mu Xuanche turned to look at him, and I glared back angrily. "He killed my child! I want revenge!"
"You're talking nonsense! I never harmed your child! You crazy woman, why won't you believe me?"
I couldn't hear him over my rage and tried to rush at him again, but Mu Xuanche held me tightly.
"Yan Xi, calm down. The baby is still safe inside you, I promise."
His voice calmed me down, as it always did.
"Are you really still here?"
I asked again, and he nodded before I finally felt at ease.
Later, Bai Qiling explained that it was the poison from my Nightmare acting up. Bai Qiling had drawn a little blood and then used some medicine to temporarily suppress the toxicity.
After learning the truth, I looked at Bai Qiling apologetically, wanting to say sorry but unable to find the words.
"I..."
I started to speak, but he raised his hand to stop me. "No, I really don't want to fight with you again."
His words made me blush instantly, and I lowered my head in embarrassment.
"Here, take one a week. It will temporarily suppress the Nightmare in your body."
Seeing that I didn't reach out for it, he called out again, "Don't worry, it won't harm the baby."
"Thank you."
After I took it from him, Mu Xuanche left a box behind and then took me away.
I was thinking about school, worried that Chen Sang would come out again to harm others, pleading with Mu Xuanche to take me back to school.
When we arrived back at the door of Room 509, chaos reigned inside.
Shangguan Mingyue and Chen Sang were locked in a struggle; Chen Sang had her by the throat while she fought back fiercely with Ink Binding.
I was about to rush in when Mu Xuanche moved ahead of me.
As soon as he made his move, Chen Sang was completely outmatched.
Before long, she was pinned to the ground, and Shangguan Mingyue took the opportunity to rush forward, binding her with Ink Line.
She struggled, but the more she fought, the tighter the bindings became, rendering her immobile.
"Ah!"
She let out a piercing scream, continuously shouting in anger.
I crouched down in front of her. "Chen Sang, you know the antidote for Nightmare, right? Tell me."
She laughed, a sharp and cutting sound.
"Hahaha, why would I tell you?"
Mu Xuanche couldn't get through; he grabbed her by the throat as she strained to lift her head, twisting it with a strange smile.
Suddenly, Mu Xuanche turned around and pulled both me and Shangguan Mingyue away.
With a loud bang, Chen Sang was gone, reduced to nothing but a splash of blood, not even a trace of her soul remaining.
I fell to the ground, realizing that I had run out of options.
The only thing left to do was find Chen Sang's body and break the formation on her; only then could this matter be put to rest for good.
Suddenly, an idea struck me, and I shook off everyone and ran outside.
Standing at the entrance of the school, I was lost in thought, staring blankly ahead.
A familiar presence approached, and I knew Mu Xuanche was by my side. I continued to focus on the layout before me.
"Mu Xuanche, do you see anything unusual?" I asked.
"This arrangement is off," he replied.
I nodded in agreement. The latter half of the book discussed the principles of Feng Shui, and after consulting with my master, I could understand it well enough.
The Qimen Dunjia divination also covered this topic. I grabbed a handful of soil from the grass and scattered it on the ground, drawing a nine-square grid.
The sequence of Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui, Ding, Bing, Yi, Yin was arranged in reverse order and matched with the twelve Earthly Branches for continuous iteration.
Taking the school's main entrance as the true east position, I completed the arrangement.
"Zhuque Enters Prison" and Wu plus Xin "Qinglong Breaks Its Leg," the stars were in reverse alignment.
This configuration indicated an ominous sign.
I glanced up at Mu Xuanche; he was watching me with a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
"Wife, I didn't expect you to have such skills," he said.
Next came the analysis. Logically, this entrance should be positioned directly south; however, the entire layout had undergone a ninety-degree reversal.
This altered the Feng Shui completely. Originally, it should have been a top-tier arrangement with Zhuque spreading its wings and Qinglong soaring high, helping these diligent students to take flight. Now it had turned into a scene of bloodshed and disaster with Wu plus Xin indicating great misfortune.
Shangguan Mingyue came running toward us, panting heavily. From a distance, she shouted, "Why are you two running so fast? I still have things to discuss with you!"
Seeing her anxious expression, I stood up from the ground and let her down.
"Yan Xi, all the bodies of the deceased female students have gone missing. No matter how hard we search, we can't find them."
Behind Shangguan Mingyue was Principal Chen, who had once been full of vigor but now looked somewhat disheveled. Upon seeing us, he looked as if he had found a life-saving remedy, nearly on the verge of tears. He dared not approach me because Mu Xuanche was standing beside me; instead, he clung to Shangguan Mingyue and kept pleading.
"Great Masters, you must help me! What are we going to do? The parents are already causing a scene, and I'm being pushed to the brink of suicide!"
Shangguan Mingyue patted the principal's back to comfort him. Her eyes caught sight of the situation on the ground, and she turned to me. "Yan Xi, what are you doing? What is this situation? I can't make sense of it at all."
I was still contemplating the disappearance of the bodies when she asked me a question, and it took me a moment to respond.
"Oh, this situation? I just set it up to take a look. I felt that there was something off about the feng shui of this school, so I wanted to investigate."
Her impatient nature showed as she saw that I was not focused. She pushed me lightly.
"Yan Xi, stop messing around with this! Let's talk about those bodies first. We need to help Principal Chen find them; my master has called and is urging us—there are urgent matters at hand."
"Don't worry; I have a rough idea of where the bodies are. Come with me."
Seeing my confidence, Shangguan Mingyue looked puzzled. "How do you know where the bodies are?"
I didn't answer her and simply urged her to follow me.
The situation that had just unfolded was still fresh in my mind; I remembered every direction clearly.
With Zhuque trapped in the west, I headed westward until I found the largest tree and stopped.
I asked Mu Xuanche for assistance. With a swift motion of his hand, he uprooted the massive tree and laid it aside.
A young girl's body lay starkly beneath the large tree; it should belong to Liu Lili.
Shangguan Mingyue looked at me and praised, "Yan Xi, you're impressive."
Next was the position of the Azure Dragon; there should be two bodies down there.
The remaining one is Chen Sang's body. Her corpse is the most crucial; without finding her, this situation cannot be resolved.
Where could Chen Sang's body be?
