"I never expected Meijia's family situation to be so complex."

After escorting Meijia back to her room to rest, Shajuye also came to Duanmu Huai's room and started chatting.

"Meijia seldom mentioned her family's situation to me before, and now it seems there's a reason for that."

"It's common for there to be more drama in large wealthy families, the more people there are, the more issues arise."

Duanmu Huai stretched lazily and gazed out the window.

"From that perspective, it's good we don't have that many relatives."

"Yeah, having too many relatives easily leads to various problems, yet you can't just cut ties with them."

At this, Duanmu Huai snorted softly. Though the world they were in seemed like they were part of a wealthy family, in reality, it was just Duanmu Huai and Shajuye with no distant relatives to deal with. Of course, even if there were, with Duanmu Huai's temperament, he'd make them behave obediently.

If necessary, just make them disappear. After all, Duanmu Huai himself is an ancient being.

"In any case, let's rest now and talk tomorrow."

"Alright, goodnight, brother."

After bidding goodnight, Shajuye returned to her room, while Duanmu Huai looked at his phone for a bit. Finding it uninteresting, he decided to sleep...

"Tap tap tap..."

"Hmm?"

At that moment, a tapping sound came from outside the window. Duanmu Huai turned his head to see that at some point, it had started raining outside. He opened the window, only to see that outside was pitch black. The howling wind mixed with raindrops rushed in, and the vines covering the Western-style house swayed along, resembling snakes.

"I hadn't heard it was going to rain."

Duanmu Huai, puzzled, picked up his phone and saw a storm warning displayed...

"......"

If he remembered correctly, when he left the house this morning, the weather forecast on his phone was showing clear skies.

So, it's not a weather forecast anymore, it's a weather report, isn't it?

That reminded Duanmu Huai of how the TV weather forecasts at home were usually off. It would announce rain for tomorrow, but then it would be a bright day. Announcing a sunny day, going out happily only to get drenched like a drowned rat. This broken weather forecast is useless...

Duanmu Huai complained and then closed the window, lay on his bed, and went to dreamland.

Soon, a night passed.

The next morning, as Duanmu Huai woke up, the first thing he heard was... the sound of rushing water.

"Wow, this rain is pretty heavy."

Duanmu Huai got up and looked outside the window, only to see that it was pouring heavily outside, the rainwater cascading from the eaves like a waterfall.

This weather... Well, they're not going out anyway.

After washing up, Duanmu Huai and Shajuye went to the dining room where breakfast was already prepared. However, there were no signs of the maid, like last night when Duanmu Huai and others arrived at the dining room, the dinner was already laid out, but the maid never showed up.

According to Blondie, the maid here had always been like this, even when he attended birthday parties as a child.

"Hey, morning, Duanmu, Shajuye."

When Duanmu Huai arrived at the dining room, Blondie and his spicy girl girlfriend were already waiting there, while on the other side was the social man and his big dog. It was obvious the two sides weren't on friendly terms.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"Pretty well, but I didn't expect it to rain so heavily today."

Duanmu Huai and Shajuye sat down, nodding at Blondie, who laughed heartily.

"That's right, heavy rain like this is quite rare here, and who knows how long it'll last. Though it shouldn't affect..."

"Ahhhh!!"

However, before Blondie could finish speaking, suddenly a scream came from afar, and everyone present was taken aback.

"What's going on?"

"Regardless, let's go check it out."

Duanmu Huai immediately stood up and exited the dining room, with Shajuye quickly following, and then Blondie.

"This way!"

Just like sensing the workers' cries for help on the mountain earlier, Shajuye seemed to be quite sensitive in these situations. If her capabilities could be quantified, her [Listening] attribute would likely be at least 80. She swiftly ran down the hallway, and Duanmu Huai and Blondie followed closely behind her.

Just then, around a corner in the hallway, a figure suddenly appeared. It was none other than the guy with glasses who hadn't shown up earlier. At this moment, he looked pale as he stumbled towards them. Upon seeing them, he hesitated for a moment before attempting to run away.

"Hey, stop right there."

But he was caught by Blondie.

"What happened?"

"N-n-nothing happened!"

The guy with glasses, pale-faced, shook his head vigorously, but Blondie clearly wasn't buying it.

"Nothing? You always look like this when something's happened. Spill it!"

"......"

Despite Blondie's questioning, the guy with glasses kept shaking his head, refusing to speak.

"Isn't that the chapel up ahead? What did you do?"

Chapel?

Upon hearing Blondie's shout, Duanmu Huai remembered that the hallway led to the Separate Pavilion. Meijia had shown them around there yesterday, but at the time, the chapel was locked, so Meijia just briefly introduced it. Now, it seemed they were heading towards the chapel?
