The Rumor

There is a time when every pain and agony becomes a misery then the rumor spreads all over the land and kills everything in just a second.

Lady From Spell

***

Huang Jing Er can't stop herself from being so curious about this matter. She likes this place but looks like this place hides a lot of bad stories. Xiao Ran looked around with a suspicious gaze but she can hide it by her calm but Huang Jing Er knows what Xiao Ran sees because they still communicate by telepathy.

"Lady, are you sure to take this place for us?" Xiao Ran asked Huang Jing Er because she was concerned about Huang Jing Er. "If Lady doesn't want to take this place we can see the other manor. I have prepared everything for Lady." Huang Jing Er also knows that Xiao Ran even prepared another place for her before Huang Jing Er made her last decision.

"Why not?" Huang Jing Er sends her message to Xiao Ran but her face and attention are still at Xu Ming even she gives her sweet smile to Xu Ming. "Then, Young Master you can tell me the rumor while accompanying me to look around this place." Huang Jing Er said.

Huang Jing Er ignores the bad smell as if she can't smell anything and acts normally. Actually, the bad smell was covered by the white flowers that were planted around the building. Huang Jing Er doesn't know what the flower's name is but she is sure that the flower was planted by someone for purifying this area.

"It's alright." Xu Ming said.

Xu Ming guides them to look around the area. They walk from the corridor to the backyard. Huang Jing Er feels so amazed with this place because she knows this place has a dark atmosphere but when they arrive in the backyard everything is changed. There is a pavilion in the backyard as the white lotus pond makes the backyard look so beautiful. It's just about the maintenance.

"Young Master, is this place yours?" Huang Jing Er asked Xu Ming.

"No. I just helped my best friend to sell his property." Xu Ming said actually a lot of people want to buy this place but a lot of things just happened and they just canceled to buy this place. The first person said that he and his family had haunted and before he gave the money, he canceled to buy this place. The second…" Xu Ming takes a deep breath while fanning himself.

"What happened?" Xiao Ran asked curiously.

"Her daughter killed herself after they had visited this place." Xu Ming said to Huang Jing Er with deep condolence. "Actually, the former family who owned this place had died a long time ago and no one left from the family, and a lot of people say bad things about this place even, I don't know they are." Xu Ming said again. Xu Ming looks like thinking about something as he sees the pavilion with a sad gaze.

Huang Jing Er chose to give Xu Ming time for himself and let him talk to her first. Huang Jing Er is still wondering why no one dared to buy this place? This place is so beautiful the problem is there is no one living here for a long time and make this place is like a ghost nestle. A lot of questions in her mind right now.

"Miss Huang, I will give you time to think about this and if you do not change your mind, you can find me and I will prepare everything." Xu Ming said.

"Young Master, may I know who is the owner of this place?" Huang Jing Er asked.

Xu Ming looks at Huang Jing Er as he looks so confused right now but why?

"I am sorry, I can't tell you about this right now except if Miss Huang wants to buy this place." Xu Ming said as he gives his smile to Huang Jing Er.

"Oh… It's alright."

"Then I leave now my subordinate will guide you." Xu Ming said then leave them in this place.

Huang Jing Er looks around before she looks at Xu Ming's subordinate.

"Then we leave now." Huang Jing Er said then leave accompanied by some of Xu Ming's subordinates who looks so uncomfortable with that place.

Huang Jing Er was stunned for a second for thinking. She never knows there is something like this before. This place is weird but the owner of this property is really something. She knows there is a transparent barrier so no one can enter this place if the owner doesn't give a permit. The owner must know about the witch or the owner is a witch?

In this world, there are not a lot of witches in this society because the King had been ordered to hunting and destroy everything about witches so no one dared to mention about the witch anymore. Even the Huang family has to live secretly somewhere in the Northeast area with barriers to protects the manor.

They say that the witch knows how to use magic and martial arts so they are so dangerous and they also say that witch is a wicked creature but in this society, don't so many common people become a devil for their own family so why the witch has to get punishment just because of their prejudice? It does not make sense, right?

For more than hundreds of years the witches have to live in their hiding places. The common people can't find their place because there is a barrier to protect their place. They are lived in the forest or at the peak of the mountains but sometimes there are people who want to hunt them so the witches have to be always careful.

"Lady, you have to be careful because this place is not as beautiful as you thought." Xiao Ran said to Huang Jing Er.

"I know. We have to look for a place to stay." Huang Jing Er ordered.

"Yes, Lady." Xiao Ran responded.
