Yu Zong was surprised, but his expression did not change. “Oh? What do you mean?”

He wanted to test Master Duan’s strength.

Master Duan counted with his fingers for a moment. “These two are not your direct blood relatives. Someone has put something on their bodies. The pain is unbearable.”

“Can you tell me in detail?” Yu Zong asked further.

However, Master Duan shook his head. “Please invite them over, Fellow Yu. I have to check them out with my own eyes before I can come to a conclusion.”

Yu Zong took out his phone and called his a.s.sistant. “Tell the four of them to come up. I’ll wait in the CEO’s office.”

A moment later, Yu Miao and the other three came upstairs. In fact, they had arrived long ago. Yu Zong deliberately wanted to test Master Duan. They sat in the lounge downstairs and waited for Yu Zong’s summons.

Seeing the four of them enter, Yu Zong nodded at Master Duan. “Master, the four of them are here.”

Master Duan smiled. “I’ll check them now.”

He first took a look at Hu Rui, but he found nothing wrong. He also did not find any traces of the ferocious aura.

Could he have misjudged?

He frowned slightly and looked at the other three people, but he could not find the reason.

When he came over, he had already determined that the reason for the pain was because of the ferocious aura entering their bodies. However, he could not find the ferocious aura now, so he eliminated this possibility.

Master Duan hesitated for a moment before taking out four talismans from his pocket.

He said, “If you keep the talisman on you, you might be able to reduce the pain.”

The four of them stuffed the talismans into their pockets impatiently.

However, in the next second, a sharp pain came from the four of them at the same time. It was twice as painful as before.

Hu Rui shouted. A flame flashed in his pocket, followed by the smell of burning paper.

He dug into his pocket and realized that the talisman had long turned to ashes.

The other three also reached out to touch the place where the talismans were, but they did not touch anything. Their talismans had also been burned.

Yu Zong looked at Master Duan hesitantly and asked curiously, “Master Duan, what’s going on?”

Master Duan was stunned. How would he know what was going on?

Logically speaking, this talisman should be effective against the ominous aura, but why was it burned?

Master Duan stroked his beard and asked, “How do you feel after putting the talismans on you?”

Yao Yun’s eyes were red. “My body hurts even more than before.”

Hu Rui also touched his chest with one hand and panted heavily. “It hurts very badly for me too. I can’t breathe.”

Could this metaphysical master that his uncle had invited back be a liar?

It was fine if he couldn’t cure them, but why was the pain in his body worsening?

Master Duan walked forward and took some ashes from Hu Rui’s pocket to smell. He did not find anything unusual.

Meng Bo was deep in thought. “It must have triggered something, causing the pain to intensify.”

Master Duan felt even more uncertain, but he could not show it. He could only pretend to be in deep thoughts and shake his head. “It shouldn’t be like this.”

Usually, if talismans were burnt, it meant that they had helped in warding off a disaster.

But they were in even more pain.

This meant that the thing on the four of them was not simple. At least, he would not be able to undo it for a while.

Master Duan pondered for a moment. “You have a very complicated curse on you. I need to prepare something before I can help you undo it.”

Hu Rui clutched his chest and panted as he asked, “How long will you have to take to prepare? I can’t stand the pain.”

This kind of pain was different from being beaten up. There was also the burning feeling of chili powder scattering on the wound.

He really couldn’t take it anymore.

Master Duan thought for a moment and said, “About 40 minutes. I’ll get someone to help.”

In any case, he really did not understand what was going on. If he did not find his junior brother, he would definitely not be able to solve it himself.

Yu Miao was in so much pain that she was about to cry. “Another forty minutes? I’m about to die from the pain!”

Master Duan shook his head with a regretful look on his face. “My young friends, I’m really sorry. This curse technique is too complicated. I’m really helpless. Please bear with it.”

There was a thin layer of sweat on Hu Rui’s forehead. He gritted his teeth and said, “Master, I’m really dying from the pain.. Do you have a way to stop the pain temporarily?”
