Old Master Yan Hong held onto the table and swayed.

In fact, he had already mentally prepared himself, but when he really heard such words, he still felt like the world had turned dark.

Was the grandson he valued the most, the head of the Yan family, really going to die at such a young age?

“Miss Qi, is there still hope?” Yan Hong asked, his voice trembling.

Qi Ying shook her head and nodded.

“There’s hope, but it’s not a long-term solution.”

Seeing everyone frown, Qi Ying spoke again, “Actually, Mr. Yan Huai’s soul was no longer in his body a year ago, perhaps when he first fainted.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. If the soul was not in the body, where was it?

“His lifespan hasn’t ended. His soul has left his body. That’s why he’s like this,” Qi Ying continued to explain.

“However, if the soul leaves the body for a long time, the lifespan it originally had will be shortened. If the soul is unable to return, it will quickly exhaust its lifespan and leave the world.”

Everyone gasped.

“Moreover, looking at Mr. Yan Huai’s situation, his soul left his body because he had signed some kind of contract with an evil spirit. This contract was not signed voluntarily. He was coerced or harmed by others, so he signed it. As for how he signed it and what kind of spirit medium he used, I can’t tell yet.”

“Miss Qi, according to what you said, as long as I exchange my nephew’s soul and break the contract, won’t my nephew survive?” Yan Jiang asked.

Qi Ying frowned. “That’s true, but even if the contract between Mr. Yan Huai and the evil spirit is broken, the original soul will be marked by the evil spirit.”

“What will happen if you are marked by an evil spirit?” Yan Jiang asked.

“Mr. Yan Huai can wake up, but his remaining lifespan might not exceed five years.”

When everyone heard this, they were both sad and happy. They were happy that there was still hope. They were sad that when he woke up, Yan Huai had to accept the fact that he only had five years to live.

“Mr. Yan Huai’s original soul and spirit medium are very pure. The constellation on his birthday is also very beneficial. Unfortunately, although such a constellation is beneficial to the person involved, it will often be disturbed by the evil spirit.” Qi Ying looked at everyone. “It will be easier to sign a contract with the evil spirit and use it to exchange for something.”

Yan Hong was silent for a long time. Everyone looked at him, waiting for the old man to make a decision.

“Let’s break the contract and call back the soul first. As for the matter of five years of lifespan, I believe there might be a turning point, don’t you think so, Miss Qi?”

Qi Ying nodded slightly under the gazes of everyone and Yan Hong.

“Yes.” Qi Ying put away the tarot cards on the table. “There are still some herbs and spiritual items that need to be used later. I’ll make a list and send it to Cui Yu. Please get ready. I’ll help you break the contract next week.”

Everyone carried Yan Hong and Qi Ying out of Yan Huai’s room.

The servants outside had already prepared the food.

“Miss Qi, if you don’t mind, stay for dinner.”

Qi Ying looked at the furnishings on the table and lit pine-scented candles.There was a simple Western meal that included the four elements of wind, water, fire, and wood.

It seemed that the Yan family knew their stuff.

She nodded slightly and sat down with everyone.

During the meal, Yan Mo observed Qi Ying. Looking at her elegant eating posture and bearing, she looked like a socialite from an aristocratic family, but there was no aristocratic family with the surname Qi in Bai City. She was a little puzzled.

“Miss Qi, I want to ask where you live. It’ll be convenient for us to send you back.”

Qi Ying gave Yan Mo the address of the Zhang family.

When Yan Hong heard this address, he frowned. “Miss Qi, may I ask if Qi is your original surname?”

Qi Ying shook her head. “No, that’s my teacher’s surname.”

“Then Miss Qi’s surname is Zhang? She should be the daughter of the Zhang family in Baicheng?”

Everyone gasped when they heard this.

The current head of the Zhang family, Zhang Heng, was not an easy person to deal with. He was greedy and did things very unkindly.

Previously, the Zhang family and the Yan family were old friends and had taken care of each other for many years. However, in Zhang Heng’s generation, the Zhang family had become vampires and relied on their relationship with the Yan family to do whatever they wanted.

“Are you the young lady who was just found?”

Qi Ying nodded.

Yan Hong sighed and slowly said, “Miss Qi, you might not know this, but you and Yan were engaged when you were young. I wonder if your parents have just told you?”
