Chapter 473: House Fight Turns into Thriller 12
The men in black looked at each other, obviously not expecting to encounter such a strong obstacle here. They exchanged glances, as if weighing the pros and cons. But the female ghost did not give them too much time to think. Her figure was like a ghost, and she rushed into the men in black in an instant, starting a thrilling fight.
The sword flashed like lightning, and blood splattered. The female ghost's swordsmanship was sharp and deadly, and every move and style revealed her deep understanding and superb skills in fighting. Although the men in black were also experienced masters, they were stretched to their limits under the female ghost's attack and retreated one after another.
At this time, although Liu Hui was worried about the ghost girl's safety, she also knew that she could not just sit there and wait for death. She quickly calmed down and mobilized her internal strength, ready to respond to any possible crisis at any time.
On the other side, Lord Liu immediately led his servants back after learning that the man in black had broken into the mansion. When he saw the female ghost fighting alone and Liu Hui was safe and sound, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice. He knew that the test he had set up had been answered.
Lord Liu was deeply pleased with the ghost girl's loyalty and bravery. He immediately ordered his servants to join the battle and help the ghost girl fight off the men in black. With the joint efforts of everyone, the men in black were finally completely defeated and fled away.
After the battle, Lord Liu personally walked up to the ghost girl and expressed his gratitude and admiration to her. The ghost girl humbly said that this was just her duty. Liu Hui watched this scene from the side, and his heart was full of admiration and gratitude for the ghost girl.
However, this battle did not end the turmoil in Liu Hou Mansion. Soon, rumors about the Liu Mansion being haunted and the female ghost being subdued by Liu Hui spread like wildfire in the capital. Some people with bad intentions even exaggerated the incident, making it seem as if Liu Mansion had become a terrifying place where ghosts were rampant.
These rumors naturally attracted the attention of other forces. Some dignitaries who had close ties with the Liu Mansion sent out their own spies to try to find out the truth of the matter. However, the news brought back by the spies surprised these dignitaries.
"What did you say? Is the Liu Mansion really haunted?" An official dressed in gorgeous clothes looked at the spy in front of him with disbelief.
The spy nodded and said solemnly, "It is absolutely true, sir. It is said that the female ghost has been subdued by the young lady of the Liu family and is now living in the Liu Mansion."
Upon hearing this, the official couldn't help but sneer: "Is this Miss Liu crazy? She actually dared to subdue a female ghost, and she is not afraid of getting burned."
The spy shook his head and said, "Sir, this Miss Liu is no ordinary person. She is not only skilled in martial arts, but also thoughtful. It is said that the female ghost was subdued by her wisdom."
Upon hearing this, the official frowned slightly: "Oh? There is such a thing? What is Lord Liu's reaction to this matter?"
The spy continued, "Lord Liu seemed a little worried at first, but later he saw that the ghost girl was loyal to Miss Liu, so he gradually put his mind at ease. Now, the ghost girl has become a member of the Liu Mansion, and is helping Miss Liu to resist foreign enemies."
The official couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing this. He knew the status and influence of the Liu family in the capital. Now that the young lady of the Liu family was able to subdue the female ghost, this undoubtedly brought the Liu family's strength to a new level. He must report these situations to his master truthfully so that he can respond.
At the same time, similar conversations were taking place in other corners of the capital. Some dignitaries who were at odds with the Liu family regarded this as a joke and laughed at the absurd behavior of Miss Liu.
"Haha, have you heard? That crazy girl from the Liu family actually hired a female ghost as her bodyguard." A young man in brocade clothes laughed to his friends in the tavern.
His friend couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "This Miss Liu is really bold. But can the female ghost really protect her? What if the female ghost goes crazy one day, won't she tear down the Liu Mansion?"
The young master shook his head and said, "You don't understand. Although the female ghost is ferocious, she has been tamed by Miss Liu. I heard that she is now loyal to Miss Liu, just like a dog."
Upon hearing this, his friend couldn't help but reveal a look of disdain: "Humph, even if the female ghost is very powerful, so what? The Liu family is just a small family after all, how can it compare to us, the aristocratic families."
The young master said nothing more, but just picked up the wine glass and drank it all. He knew that although the Liu family seemed to be prosperous now, the crisis behind it could not be ignored. He had to stay alert at all times to avoid being tricked by the Liu family.
Amidst all the rumors, the Liu Mansion remained calm. The relationship between Liu Hui and the female ghost continued to deepen. Not only did they become each other's strongest support, but they also found new goals and meaning in each other's company.
One day, Liu Hui was studying the Art of War in her study, and the female ghost was quietly accompanying her. Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the study. Liu Hui looked up and saw a servant running in in a panic.
"Miss, something bad has happened! There is a group of people outside who say they want to see you." The servant said breathlessly.
Liu Hui frowned slightly when she heard this: "Who are they? Did they say what it was about?"
The servant shook his head: "They didn't say anything, they just said they wanted to see you. Moreover, they were very aggressive and didn't look like good people."
Liu Hui's heart trembled. She knew that these people were probably coming for the ghost girl. She immediately stood up and said to the ghost girl, "Stay here and don't go out. I'll go out and take a look."
The ghost girl shook her head and said firmly: "No, I want to go out with you. I can't let you face danger alone."
Liu Hui looked at the ghost's determined eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's go out together."
As she said that, she led the ghost girl and the servant out of the study. As expected, outside the gate, she saw a group of people dressed in black with fierce faces. Their eyes revealed a strong hostility, as if they wanted to raze the Liu Mansion to the ground.
Although Liu Hui was nervous, she remained calm. She looked at the group of people and said coldly, "Who are you? Why did you come to me?"
The leader, a man in black, chuckled and said, "We are here to find the female ghost behind you. If you hand her over obediently, we will spare your life."
