         the cultivators sat anxiously as the events on the screen continued to unveil.

the boys on the side were all young and inexperienced. however, although they all looked nervous, they strictly stuck to their positions and protected the mo family’s house, fixing talismans onto the walls. the servant named a-tong was already carried into the hall. lan sizhui felt his pulse with his left hand and supported madam mo’s back with his right. he couldn’t save both of them at once, and was in a terrible fix when a-tong crawled up from the ground.

a-ding exclaimed, ❝a-tong, you’re awake!❞

before her face had the time to light up, a-tong raised his left hand and clutched his own neck.

a few of the cultivators screamed in terror at the scene.

nie huaisang also shrieked and cling onto his brother, ❛da-ge, i am scared.❜

nie mingjue gave a disappointed look to his brother but didn't push him away.

after all, he knew how easily his younger brother gets scared from such stuff.

seeing this, lan sizhui tapped on a few of his acupoints three times. wei wuxian knew that, although they looked gentle, the people from the lan clan had arm strength that was the opposite of gentle. with a force like this, it would be hard for anyone to move.

hearing that both wei wuxian and jiang cheng frowned, thinking, ‘is it true?’ before both of them turned to glance at lan wangji and lan xichen’s arms but as the lan brothers wore outer robes with long and loose sleeves that covered their arms completely, the lotus brothers couldn't clearly see them.

jiang cheng and wei wuxian both turned embarrassed when they got caught by the jade twins while staring like that. with eyes widening and face turning red, jiang cheng immediately turned his head away, refusing to look lan xichen in the eyes.

whereas, wei wuxian awkwardly smiled at lan wangji upon getting caught before he too, looked away, failing to hide the redness that spread through his face and down his neck. even his ears were red as he coughed awkwardly.

the lan brothers sat, smirking satisfyingly at the action and reaction of the lotus brothers.

however, a-tong seemed like he didn’t feel anything, and his left hand’s grip tightened, his expressions looking more painful and twisted. lan jingyi proceeded to grab his left hand, but it was like breaking off a chunk of iron, having no effect at all. after a moment, a crack came from his neck, and a-tong’s head dropped down. his neck was already broken.

he actually strangled himself in front of everyone’s eyes!

the cultivators visibly shivered at the horrifying scene.

❛did he really just killed himself like that?!❜ a minor sect leader exclaimed, his voice trembling.

❛yup, he did.❜ jingyi responded casually.

the juniors calm demeanor only fueled the fear among the present cultivators.

seeing the situation, a-ding’s voice wavered, ❝… a ghost! there’s an invisible ghost here. it made a-tong strangle himself!❞

her tone was sharp and her voice was shrill, making everyone’s blood run cold, and so they believed it effortlessly. wei wuxian’s judgement happened to be the opposite—it wasn’t a ferocious ghost.

❛then what was it?❜ asked su she.

❛if you shut up then we might find out.❜ responded wen xu, glaring at su she who decided to shut up for the time being.
