The Basement

The two of them walked for a few minutes before they reached the end. Su Meng realized that there was another door at the bottom, but this time, it was an ordinary door.

Wei Ting pushed the door lightly and it opened.

She followed Wei Ting in. The basement was different from the stairs outside. The stairs were dimly lit, so Su Meng had to look carefully. However, the basement was brightly lit, as if it was daytime.

Because the basement was too bright, Su Meng could see the inside of the room at first glance. Even though she had seen similar scenes countless times, she was still shocked.

In the middle of the basement, there were two pools about half a meter tall that took up most of the basement.

The two pools formed an eight-trigram array together. There was a koi fish in each pool, one red and one white. It seemed that these were the eye of the array.

The pool was beautifully decorated. There were all kinds of things in it, but the only living things were two fish.

The edge of the pool was covered with a circle of talismans. Right above, there was a huge yellow talisman hanging down from the roof, almost sticking to the water below. Hence, every time the koi fish flopped around in the water, the water would splash onto the Chinese talismans.

In addition, there were many red strings with bells hanging around the pool. This was clearly an array, and a forbidden technique at that.

Su Meng was very familiar with this array. She had seen it in her master’s notes before. Because it was a forbidden technique, she had only memorized it in case she needed it in the future. She had never done it herself.

She didn’t expect the Wei family villa to have such a large array that she didn’t even feel.

Su Meng looked around and saw that the walls of the basement were covered with charms. She realized that these things were blocking her senses.

In addition to this formation, there was a table and a swivel chair in the corner of the room.

Su Meng looked at the table. There was a black and white photo on the table. The woman in the photo looked young and beautiful with a gentle smile on her face. Therefore, although it was a portrait of a deceased person, it did not make people feel afraid.

Grandfather Wei was sitting on the chair.

When he heard that someone was coming, he didn’t get up. Instead, he turned around in his chair. Perhaps it was because he was disturbed, but his face was full of displeasure.

However, when he saw that it was Su Meng and Wei Ting, the impatience on his face disappeared instantly and his displeasure turned into surprise.

“Why are you guys here?” Grandfather Wei quickly got up and walked toward the two, trying to push them out of the basement.

He pushed Wei Ting with all his might, but Wei Ting did not move. As for Su Meng, Grandfather Wei only gave her a slight push without using any strength, so Su Meng did not move either.

Seeing that the two of them didn’t intend to go out, Grandfather Wei was instantly angry. He looked at Wei Ting and reproached, “What’s the matter with you? How could you bring Xiao Meng here? Do you know where this place is? She’s not in good health. What if something happens to her?”

Then, he turned to Su Meng and said, “Girl Meng, be good. Go out.”

Wei Ting was unmoved by Grandfather Wei’s reprimand. He glanced at the array behind Grandfather Wei and said, “You don’t have to worry about her. She’s more reliable than you in this kind of matter.”

“She said that you weren’t in a good mood after receiving the gift at the banquet. She was worried about you going out alone, so she went to look for you. But she couldn’t find you, so I brought her here.”

Wei Ting patiently explained to Grandfather Wei. Although he was usually cold and indifferent to his own parents, only Grandfather Wei was different. He was surprisingly patient with Grandfather Wei.

Hearing that Su Meng was worried about him, Grandfather Wei finally felt better. “Girl Meng is the best to me, unlike you. You didn’t even come when the banquet started. By the way, Xiao Xue said that you were getting an injection because you were allergic. Why are you allergic again? Are you feeling better? However, seeing that you’re so energetic now, I think you’re fine.”

Wei Ting glanced at Su Meng and didn’t say anything. He just gave a faint reply. It was obvious that he didn’t want to respond.

Su Meng overheard their conversation and suddenly remembered that Wei Ting seemed to have mentioned an allergic reaction when he saw the doctor in the morning. At that time, she was too focused on Wei Xue and didn’t notice this.

Now that she thought about it, Wei Ting was fine when he went there, but he suddenly had an allergic reaction. What did he come into contact with? Su Meng recalled what happened in the morning and suddenly thought of Wei Xue’s glass of water.
