819 Something happened to commander Chen



Yan Guo felt the small hair on his arms standing straight when he remembered how the entire military district praised the Chen couple for doing a good deed by adopting the Chen sisters and for raising them so well, that despite being above all, they did not put on any air and were beautiful and kind —— he felt like puking! 

What beautiful and what kind-hearted? Good upbringing, eww? 

The entire family except Commander Chen were cut from the same cloth! If not for the fact that Commander Chen looked exactly like Old Master Chen when he was young, he would have thought that the couple might have stolen Commander Chen from someone when he was a baby!

If his parents raised such a daughter, he would have gone to the execution ground and then asked the firing squad to shoot him dead! Having such sinister sisters was enough of a sin to be executed! 

Song Yan on the other hand was not paying attention to Yan Guo, the cogs of her head were slowly overturning as she realised something and then said, " So the real portrait is hidden in the Chen house! The two sisters must have taken a bit of their dark magic which was locked into that portrait and then instilled a bit of the magic to the different portraits which they sent away." 

" Doesn't that mean that if we need to take those sisters down we have to take that portrait down first?" Ning Yu sharply pointed out the crux of the matter. 

" You are indeed wise, Sister Yu," Song Yan praised Ning Yu who blushed heavily causing Fu Yu Shen to frown, why was it that when he kissed her, she did not blush this much? Was it because his kiss was not as good as his sister-in-law's praise? 

If Ning Yu knew what was going on in his head, she would have seriously nodded in response. 

" Having demonic energy spread around weakens the demonic creature but at the same time it reduces the chance of getting killed," Song Yan explained as she placed her hand under her chin as she carefully thought everything through. " The two Chen sisters were able to rip their magic into bits and pieces, and that magic later took the form of an individual existence which shows that their soul was ripped apart and locked into a portrait as well. Every time they picked a bit of their magic to instil into another portrait, they also took out a part of their soul and placed it inside." 

Her eyes darkened as she continued, " But the majority of that magic is still locked in the portrait which was excavated from the old sect and it protects the rest, which is why I have to take that portrait down first. Most probably they were cursed and locked in that portrait which is why they cannot take a stable human form and have to rely on the living." 

Fu Yu Sheng frowned after listening to Song Yan's explanation as he questioned, " I understand what you are saying, the two sisters were able to take their human forms with the help of sucking the life force of young women including their skin and bones but …how in the world did surname Yin find out about how that portrait worked?" 

This question was something that even Song Yan had in her head but she had no answer to it. If she was to think that someone just casually wished in front of the portrait it was still understandable but how did that Yin guy find out that he needed to sacrifice young women to fulfil his next wish and if he failed he will be the one who will die? 

" Someone must be behind them," after a long pause Song Yan spoke up. This was the only conclusion that she could reach, but the question was who was helping the two sisters? Because whoever it was, that person must be the one who taught the Chen sisters how to rip their magic and instil it into another object.

But this was not important for the time being. 

She raised her head and looked at Ning Yu and then said slowly, " Sister Ning if you do not mind …would you be willing to allow Brother Ying to get close to Chen Xi?"

When Ning Yu heard Song Yan's suggestion her face could not help but turn pale. " Sister in law…?"

" Don't worry, I will not let her harm Brother Ying, Ah Yu," Song Yan immediately assured Ning Yu when she saw that the latter was getting antsy after hearing her words. " And for the time being she will not dare to harm, Brother Ying either. We just need to lower her guard along with Chen Chu Chu's for the time being." 

The more careful one was the more confident they were, Song Yan was very much aware of this fact. The two sisters have never been caught by anyone till now which was why they were very confident of their skills. As long as she gives them the false security that their plan was working they will end up dropping their guards.

As for the portrait which was hidden in the Chen house, she would need Fang Yanli and Zhou Yuan's help to look for it. 

Ning Yu calmed down slightly when she heard Song Yan's assurance but she was still a bit worried. After all, Ning Ying was her brother, how can she not worry despite knowing that something evil was deliberately approaching him much less turn a blind eye to it? 

Song Yan also knew Ning Yu's worry which was why she took out a talisman and handed it to Ning Yu, " This is an A-grade talisman, it will protect Brother Ning against all sorts of curses and hoodwink magic, have him wear it all the time and never take it off but at the same time have him treat Chen Xi really well, so well that she will think that he fell head over heels for her." 

" How…how long will we have to keep this act sister-in-law ?" Ning Yu asked as she took the talisman.

"Not for long, only until the banquet of Old Master Yan's birthday." Song Yan replied which caused Yan Guo to turn pale, the main event will take place on his father's birthday. Wasn't his opinion needed for such a grand opening?
