The Bowl of Seven Emotions

The old man turned his head. "Young man, you have to pay the price for your mistakes. This time, considering your ignorance, I will give you a small punishment as a warning."

After speaking, he gestured to the young man standing beside him.

The young man walked towards Tang Susu, holding something in front of her eyes. Tang Susu involuntarily followed him out.

The young man took her to a room next door. The room was pitch black, with only two white candles lit on the altar table. The flames on the candles were weak, emitting a faint halo.

Tang Susu was pushed in. The young man followed her into the room and locked the door.

After offering three incense sticks to the memorial tablet on the altar table, he turned to look at Tang Susu and muttered to himself, "Master said to give you a small punishment, so I'll punish you to be unconscious for three months."

After speaking, he took something out from his waist and slapped it towards Tang Susu's mouth.

Just a second before the pill in his hand fell into Tang Susu's mouth, Tang Susu, who was originally fixed in place and unconscious, suddenly raised her hand and grabbed his slender wrist.

"Punish me? Who do you think you are?"

"You're awake? How is that possible!" The young man looked shocked, and didn't even notice the pill in his hand falling to the ground.

"Are all of you people so self-righteous?" Tang Susu sneered. "Gou Dan, what do you think is the best way to deal with him?" There were too many people just now, it wasn't impossible to do it, but it wouldn't end well. Now that there was only this little one left, it would be a little sorry for herself to let him go.

Tang Susu asked Gou Dan, who was eager to fight on her shoulder.

"He is detrimental to the master, you can take his life." Gou Dan narrowed his eyes, a fierce look flashed in his green eyes.

Tang Susu smiled and shook her head. "It's not enough to die. Since he likes small punishments so much, then give him three months of evil spirit and let him enjoy it slowly."

Hearing this, Gou Dan raised his paw and waved, and a cloud of black energy was shot into the young man's body. With another flick of his claws, it seemed as if something had been pulled out of the young man's body, and his originally clear eyes became chaotic.

"Okay, I have temporarily taken away his soul, he won't have any memory."

Having no more worries, Tang Susu asked the young man, "What happened to Huang Xiaoxiao?"

The young man was like a puppet, with no expression or emotional fluctuations, and his voice was flat. "She has become another person. Master said that her soul has been replaced."

This statement was really shocking. Then she asked, "Whose soul was replaced? What does it have to do with that mirror?"

"A dead person named Dong Qing. The Charred Bone Peony Mirror is a soul-swapping tool."

She had heard this name a few days ago, so Tang Susu was not surprised. Qi Yue was obsessed with getting the Charred Bone Peony Mirror. Knowing that he couldn't buy it, he asked her to borrow it. He really had other purposes.

It's just that she didn't expect that mirror to have such a function, not even Gou Dan thought of it.

What puzzled Tang Susu even more was, how did Qi Yue know the function of the mirror? Did he find out from the Huang family, or did he hear it from someone else?

Temporarily suppressing the doubts in her heart, she asked the young man again, "Do you know where Qi Yue is?"

"He's locked up in the backyard."

"Can you take me to see him?"

"Yes." The young man did not hesitate, turned around and opened the door to walk out of the house, Tang Susu followed behind him.

The two walked towards the backyard one after the other. They met several tall and strong men along the way, who seemed to be patrolling. They did not stop the young man when they saw him, but avoided him one after another, obviously afraid of his identity.

The young man took her to the room in the backyard where Qi Yue was being held without any hindrance.

From the outside, the room looked no different. As soon as she entered, a smell of rust hit her face. In addition to the door outside, there was another door welded with iron bars, like a cage.

Qi Yue was locked in there.

Tang Susu was very shocked when she saw Qi Yue. It had only been a few days since she last saw him, and he had lost a lot of weight, at least tens of catties. His face was pale, the bottom of his eyes were dark, his mouth was blood red, and with that skull-like face, he looked very scary.

He heard the sound of the door opening, looked up at Tang Susu and the young man, but there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

"What's wrong with him?" Tang Susu couldn't help asking.

"He was cursed by Master, this is punishment."

That old man's methods were really weird, he actually tortured people like this. Tang Susu turned to ask Gou Dan, "Can you wake him up?"

After all, he was the trading partner she chose.

She was still hesitating whether to change someone before, but now she didn't need to. Only those who are in a desperate situation will desperately grasp at the straw.

Gou Dan jumped down from Tang Susu's shoulder and rushed towards Qi Yue. When the two of them crossed, Qi Yue shivered suddenly and opened his eyes wide.

Very well, it seemed that the man was awake.

After all, he had been with Miss Huang for many years and had seen a lot. Even though he knew that he was in a bad situation, he didn't make any sound. He was just surprised by Tang Susu who suddenly appeared in front of him.

His memory still stayed at the moment when he was caught by the Huang family.

The pain left in his body had not disappeared, and it was still unbearable, which let him know that he had been tortured.

The Huang family had never been a kind family, and he was also prepared for failure, but he did not expect that the Huang family's methods would be more powerful than he thought.

Looking at Qi Yue with complicated eyes, Tang Susu finally said, "Did you succeed?"

Qi Yue opened his mouth, wanting to tell her that he had succeeded, of course, Xiao Qing woke up from Huang Xiaoxiao's body, and he finally didn't have to endure Huang Xiaoxiao's capriciousness anymore.

But… this success only lasted for a very short, very short time. The Huang family found out, and they found someone with powerful means who wanted to make his Xiao Qing disappear!

Qi Yue struggled to stand up, his eyes became crazy.

Tang Susu stood at the door, calmly watching him struggle, watching him fall to the ground powerlessly.

"Do you want her to live on? I can help you." Her voice, like honey-coated poison, rang in Qi Yue's ears.

"You?" Qi Yue didn't want to believe it, even though he had fallen into this situation, his mind was still working.

What kind of person was Tang Susu? When he found her, all her information was already in his head.

An ordinary rich second generation who couldn't find any bright spots, and was the type who was completely out of favor and had no future in sight.

"Are you kidding?"

Tang Susu slowly shook her head. "You only have one chance, to answer or refuse."

Her tone was so serious that Qi Yue couldn't tell for a while.
