After three in the morning, Zhou Li actually did not sleep, but instead sat motionlessly on the bedside. At this time of night, I felt as though a large group of people were looking at me from behind.

He just sat there, not moving at all, while I just looked at Zhou Li in the dark hallway. I just noticed, compared to Zhou Li, my actions right now seemed to be even more terrifying. There was nothing in the corridor, it was just an indiscernible darkness, I walked along the unfamiliar corridor alone. From time to time, I would look into this room, or into the room.

But no matter what, at least Zhou Li is still in his room. I thought about it for a moment, then left for my uncle's room.

Just as he reached the door, without even looking, he heard Eldest Uncle's snoring voice that didn't lose out to his master's. Then his aunt said "lower her voice" to him again.

Hearing these two voices, I stopped looking. According to this situation, the most suspicious person should be Zhou Li, but although he is a little weird, at least he is in his own room. Maybe he is just sleepwalking.

As I thought about it, I returned back to Big Sister Xiaowen's room.

Big Sister Xiaowen is still sleeping, there's nothing abnormal. It looks like there shouldn't be any big problems tonight, just in case I don't want to sleep.

Sitting on the floor under the window, suddenly feeling cold, I looked up. He realized that he had left the window open just to make it easier to observe. Now that everything was normal, the winter wind was unusually cold.

He stood up and closed the window, slowly raising the temperature of the entire room.

But damn it, I want to sleep as soon as it's warm in the house. I can't help it, I pinch myself when I want to, and then I realize it doesn't seem to be any use at all. I still want to sleep.

I had no choice but to persevere, and before long the upper and lower eyelids began to fight.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly realized that the scene in front of me had changed. I immediately woke up, because the Nether Path's time was up.

He quickly activated the Nether Path and began to walk in circles around the room. The effect was much better this way, and the sleepiness would lessen a lot.

That night I struggled with my eyelids until I realized how much harder it was to fight ghosts.

When the first rays of sunlight hit the window, I opened it. The cool wind blew on my face, and the drowsiness was gone.

Purple?

At this time, I noticed that there was also a faint purple halo appearing along with the sunlight. I didn't even know if I was seeing things or what. But even though I've stayed up all night, I'm still in the Nether Path, there shouldn't be a situation like seeing things!

Forget it, I'll just put this matter to the back of my mind and wait and see when I can ask my master. After all, purple was an auspicious sign and an aura of wealth. There might be some good news.

After patting my face to make sure that I won't be sleeping, I closed the window again. After all, Big Sister Xiaowen is still sleeping.

When I turned around, I saw that Sister Xiaowen was already awake, and was looking at me embarrassedly.

I am a little puzzled, what kind of expression is Sister Xiaowen wearing?

I asked her, what's wrong, Sister Xiaowen? Was it uncomfortable?

Big Sister Xiaowen said that she swore to stay up late with me last night. She didn't expect that she would fall asleep after I went out for two to three minutes.

She asked me if I'd really stayed up all night.

I didn't say anything, I just woke up. As soon as I said those words, I immediately regretted it. My face of weariness could be seen by everyone that I had endured the night.

"Kid, why aren't you being honest!" Hearing my words, Big Sister Xiaowen turned to me and said: "Don't worry, with this dutiful little brother of yours to protect me, I'll be happy even if there's no time. You should quickly go to sleep.

I shook my head and told Sister Xiaowen. Logically speaking, the Rune Formation should have been lifted and Master should have returned from there. But if Master hadn't returned, would you have made a move if you were you?

The moment I said that, even I was shocked. It was only then did I realize that tonight was the most dangerous night ever. Master definitely won't show himself before the Ghost Infant comes out, that's for sure, so I have to rely on myself.

In other words, the Yin Qi from last night was only there to test me, or perhaps it was here to test if the array glyphs were still there. But something that doesn't exist, there's no need to test it.

Actually, I also know that master is training me too. After all, master often says that I have to go out on my own. I can't always rely on him, so self-reliance is the way to go.

Hearing my words, Big Sister Xiaowen felt that it made sense. You're asking me if I'm still staying up late tonight?

I didn't answer her, but asked her, was Zhou Li used to sleepwalking?

Sister Xiaowen said that she didn't know either, which made me a little troubled. I couldn't possibly go and ask him directly.

The only strange clue I had observed last night was broken, so I stopped thinking about it and stayed up all night, my head in a daze. I couldn't think of anything.

It seems that tonight was truly a deathly night, and I had to listen to Big Sister Xiaowen's orders and get ready to sleep. Otherwise, tonight I wouldn't be able to bear it!

After breakfast, Zhou Li called Xiaowen's sister out to take a walk around the area. He said that he had been bored for so long, that he had gone out to take a breather.

I knew that Sister Xiaowen was asking for my opinion, and I could tell that she didn't want to go. After thinking about it for a bit, I felt that it would be too heartless to reject her again.

I agreed to it, but I didn't think that my Big Uncle would be beaming with joy when she heard this news, as if she felt that this was the only way Xiaowen had found a good home.

Afterwards, I called Big Sister Xiaowen to the side and told her that it was currently under Master's plans, so we had to go by common sense.

After I finished speaking, I gave the small mirror on my neck that was half the size of my palm to Big Sister Xiaowen. I told her to wear it on her neck, so that Zhou Li would not know about it.

After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't feel reassured. I then called for her to bring the Foul-breaking Calming Calm Talisman with me. Now, I felt that it was about time.

Big Sister Xiaowen rubbed my head and said, "You're just a small fry, who knows how many beautiful girls you'll fall for when you grow up."

I was stunned for a moment, but then Sister Xiaowen had already left. Smiling embarrassedly, I went to sleep on her bed in Sister Xiaowen's room.

In my own mind, sleeping until noon would be enough, but once I was asleep, I couldn't decide for myself.

I didn't wake up until the afternoon, when I found the sun had already set.

At this time, Sister Xiaowen was sitting in front of her desk, combing her hair. It was as if she was watching me wake up from her mirror, when she suddenly turned her head and asked me if I was sleeping on the bed.

I chuckled and said that I was dirty and had nothing to gain from sleeping on the floor. I had gotten used to it in the past few days anyway.

After I finished speaking, I was afraid that Sister Xiaowen would ask me again, so I hurriedly asked her if she was going to play around with me.

She frowned and took out a very pretty red box from her bag. "Look!" she said to me.

I took it and opened it. Inside was a very beautiful silver ring. The ring was shiny and very beautiful.

"I forgot that you don't understand." Big Sister Xiaowen also sat in front of me and said, "He proposed this to me today and gave it to me as a gift."

"You agreed?" I don't understand, it's not that she doesn't like Zhou Li's markings, she can still drag it out if she doesn't like it, why is she so anxious?

Big Sister Xiaowen said unhappily: "Zhou Li said that he had already discussed this with my father. They will be married next month."

I also felt Sister Xiaowen's situation, but I didn't have any other way, so I could only stare.

I changed the topic and said to Big Sister Xiaowen, "From now on, stop looking at yourself in the mirror, especially at night, especially at midnight or at 2-3 in the morning."

She asked me why I was so scared.

I smiled, and the way Big Sister Xiaowen looked at me became weird all of a sudden.
