"Nothing, just a little damage." Ning Jiexiu replied.

Notified by Fang Ping, the guard of the Lu Mansion quickly found the old butler of the Lu Mansion and asked him to receive Ning Jiexiu and the others.

"Please, my master has been unwell recently, and may not be able to come to see you. If there is something in the yamen, you can tell me, and I will tell the master when the time comes."

Fang Ping said: "What's the disease that hasn't been cured after half a month?"

"Master has always been weak and sickly, alas." The old housekeeper sighed.

Ning Jiexiu said, "Take me to see Lu Xiancheng."

"This..." The old butler suddenly hesitated.

Fang Ping immediately shouted: "The magistrate has confessed, and all orders from this lord can represent him. You should hurry up and lead the way."

"If that's the case, please go ahead." Hearing what Fang Ping said, the old housekeeper had no choice but to agree.

I believe that even if the master is angry, he should not blame himself.

The three of them passed through many corridors and pavilions, and soon approached the backyard. The silence here was inexplicably permeating, and Ning Jiexiu quietly used the spiritual eye aura technique.

But everything is normal in front of him, and there is no trace of evil.

Soon, the three of them came to the door of a wing room.

"Master, an adult from the yamen has come to visit you." The old housekeeper said to the door.

At first, there was no sound coming from the room, until everyone felt something was wrong, then a hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

"I don't know which lord came here. I'm sick, and I really can't get up to meet the guests. I hope you will forgive me."

The old housekeeper hurriedly said to Ning Jiexiu: "My lord, my master probably just came to Wendeng County from a foreign country, and he fell ill because of the climate. Please forgive me."

"Open the door, let me see how sick Lu Xiancheng is." Ning Jiexiu said indifferently.

"This..." The old butler was stunned for a moment.

Generally speaking, it’s all over here, shouldn’t you go downhill and say that since your master is seriously ill, let him recuperate well and come to visit another day.

Why does this person still want to enter the house to have a look.

"Open the door." Ning Jiexiu ordered.

Fang Ping, who was standing next to him, immediately opened the door with a slap, and Ning Jiexiu walked in with one step.

Even though it was broad daylight, the inside of the house was inexplicably dark and strange. Ning Jiexiu saw a figure sitting beside the tea table at a glance.

The person stood there motionless, not knowing what was going on.

The old housekeeper who followed Ning Jiexiu quickly lit the candles in the house, and through the light of the fire, everyone could clearly see the true face of the figure beside the tea table.

It was a pale man.

"Young Master, you are here too." said the old housekeeper.

This person was a bit weird, so Ning Jiexiu cast the Spiritual Eye Aura Technique and took a look at this person, full of evil spirits.

Ning Jiexiu's eyes froze suddenly, it seemed that there was indeed something wrong with Lu Xiancheng's mansion.

"There's no water in the house. I'll fetch it." Lu Chuan got up and walked out the door.

Leaving him alone for now, Ning Jiexiu went straight to the bed, and saw a man with a haggard face lying on the bed.

The quilt covered most of his body, leaving only one head exposed. This person was Lu Dengke.

"Lu Xiancheng, what kind of illness are you suffering from? You can't go to the yamen for half a month to take office. The illness should not be delayed for a long time. Have you consulted a doctor in the city?" Ning Jiexiu stopped by the bed, lowered her head and asked .

"This lord is a bit unfamiliar. I didn't see it when I first went to the Yamen, but I still need to trouble you. I'm just infected with a cold. I just need to rest and recuperate. It's a minor illness."

The old housekeeper hurriedly came over holding a candlestick and echoed: "My lord, when my master was an official in other townships and counties, he was also like this. He was weak and sick. Please tell Magistrate Dong after you return to the Yamen. It’s not that I didn’t want to take office in the Yamen on purpose.”

"Well, easy to say, easy to say." Ning Jiexiu smiled.

Suddenly, his expression changed suddenly, and he reached out and grabbed Lu Dengke's shoulder.

As Ning Jiexiu's right palm instantly turned red, Lu Dengke's face suddenly revealed a painful expression, and his whole image changed drastically.

"Roar!"

His skin began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a mummified corpse.

While suffering from the pain, Lu Dengke's mouth opened wide, which went against normal people, and his jaw was almost dislocated.

He bit Ning Jiexiu's arm with one bite.

"My lord, be careful!" Seeing this sudden change, Fang Ping shouted hastily.

But it was too late, Lu Dengke's mouth had already bit Ning Jiexiu's arm hard.

However, in the next breath, the situation made him dumbfounded. Ning Jiexiu's arm was as stiff as an iron pestle.

There was no reaction at all when he bit on it, not to mention biting off the arm, he couldn't even bite through Ning Jiexiu's skin.

"Stop pretending?" Ning Jiexiu grabbed Lu Dengke by the neck, and immediately lifted him up from the bed.
