Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ma Baoshan had just arrived at the door of the small courtyard where he lived when he saw his great-grandfather, grandfather, grandma, father, mother, eldest uncle, second uncle, and third uncle waiting in the courtyard. Seeing this situation, Ma Baoshan knew that something was wrong and retreated.

“Stop!” Ma Baoshan’s great-grandfather, who had his eyes closed, opened them and looked at Ma Baoshan.

When Ma Baoshan heard his great-grandfather’s voice, his scalp went numb and he had a terrible premonition.

Generally speaking, every time he got into trouble and came home, he only needed to see who spoke up to stop him to predict how big the ruckus would be this time.

One had to know that this was his great-grandfather, so he was definitely dead meat!

Oh no, oh no!

He didn’t expect to meet his demise at 16 years of age.

There were still so many things he hadn’t done in his short sixteen years of life, so he felt very rueful.

Ma Baoshan’s father, Ma Dongxing, said angrily, “Baoshan, where are you going?

“Father, my legs suddenly ached, so I lost my balance and took a few steps back!”

Ma Dongxing snorted and reminded, “Is that so? Then hurry up and come forward. Can’t you see your great-grandfather waiting for you here?” Ma Baoshan felt apprehensive, but on the surface, he pretended to be calm.

“Greetings, great-grandfather!”

Old Master Ma glanced at Ma Baoshan and went straight to the point. “Where’s the jade pendant heirloom?”

When Ma Baoshan heard this, he quickly told the truth. “Great-grandpa, don’t be angry! I lost that Sheep Jade!”

These words caused an uproar.

Seeing that things were really as the rumors said, everyone in the Ma family was furious.

One had to know that this Sheep Jade wasn’t an ordinary Sheep Jade!

This was a protective talisman that had been passed down in the Ma family for more than twenty generations!

Before every ancestor died, they would instruct people to take good care of the Sheep Jade because it was the Ma family’s protective talisman and could turn misfortune into blessings.

However, this Sheep Jade had been lost not long ago.

Because this matter concerned the prosperity of the family, the Ma family had been secretly investigating it.

Unexpectedly, today, they heard news that Ma Baoshan had gambled in the casino and lost the Sheep Jade.

Initially, the Ma family didn’t believe it, so they wanted to wait for Ma Baoshan to return and ask him.

In the end, the truth was something that they found difficult to accept.

Ma Dongxing asked again, “You really took our family’s heirloom, the Sheep

Jade?”

“That’s right! Father, I took it! Actually, I didn’t take it. When I went to the back garden to pick peaches beside that rockery to eat that day, I accidentally found this jade pendant on the branch of the peach tree. I saw that this jade pendant was very similar to my father’s heirloom, so I wanted to bring it out to show off. Before I could show off, I saw someone who won a lot of money from everyone at the casino. I was indignant, so I gambled with her!” Ma Baoshan’s voice became softer and softer as he spoke.

This time, Old Master Ma could no longer sit still and fainted from anger.

What followed was chaos.

When Li Xiaoran opened her eyes the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.

For some reason, Li Xiaoran felt that she had changed a lot after coming back to live here again.

In the past, she felt uneasy sleeping there and kept getting bad vibes. However, when sleeping there last night, Li Xiaoran felt very at ease.

After washing up, Li Xiaoran went out to look for Luo Cheng.

When Li Xiaoran arrived at the martial arts field, she suddenly felt some pain, as if her body was being pricked by needles.

Therefore, Li Xiaoran quickly retreated and didn’t dare to enter the training field again.

It was very strange. As long as she didn’t enter the martial arts field, she was fine.

Once she walked in, she felt her skin prickle.

Luo Cheng also noticed Li Xiaoran. He felt baffled when he saw her walking in and out of the training field.

After quickly putting away his sword, Luo Cheng walked towards Li Xiaoran.

“Wife, what are you doing?”

After Li Xiaoran tried again, she retreated outside. Then, she heard Luo Cheng’s voice.

Li Xiaoran looked up at Luo Cheng and asked, “Husband, don’t you feel that this training field is very strange?”

After Luo Cheng looked around carefully, he asked in confusion, “Strange?

What’s strange about it? I don’t think there’s anything strange about it.”

Li Xiaoran said as she took a big step towards the martial arts arena, “As long as I enter this martial arts arena, my entire body will hurt like I’ve been pricked by needles. As long as I leave the martial arts arena, I’ll be fine! I’ve tested it out many times already. I’ll try again!”

Sure enough, the deeper they went, the stronger the prickling sensation became.

Li Xiaoran was in so much pain that her entire face was scrunched up and beads of sweat appeared one after another.

When Luo Cheng saw this, he realized that something was wrong and quickly carried Li Xiaoran out of the training field.

As soon as they left the training ground, the uncomfortable feeling disappeared and there was no longer any pain.

“How are you? Are you feeling unwell?” Luo Cheng asked with heartache. Li Xiaoran panted as she said, “I’m fine! As long as I leave the martial arts field,

I’ll be fine!”

Luo Cheng knew that Li Xiaoran wouldn’t lie to him, so there must be something wrong with this training field.

However, after training inside for so long, he didn’t feel uncomfortable at all!

After bringing Li Xiaoran back to the main courtyard, Luo Cheng sent someone to call Xiang Yanghong over.

When Xiang Yanghong heard of this, he didn’t panic at all. Instead, a look of understanding flashed across his eyes.

Xiang Yanghong told him everything he knew, “Seventh Prince, the reason Seventh Consort feels uncomfortable in the training field is because the training field is filled with murderous aura! Seventh Prince, do you still remember that someone set up a very sinister array formation in your residence? After the emperor found out about this, he asked the state preceptor to make a trip and set it up for you again. However, the state preceptor specifically reminded me that the previous array formation had already produced something sinister that the state preceptor couldn’t eliminate, so he could only use the power of the array formation to trap those bad auras in the training field..”
