"I'm an unscrupulous boss." Bai Ningning stretched and continued lazily, "Everyone, work hard. Tomorrow... we'll see you again someday."

Ma Juan's eyes filled with tears: "Are you going to abandon us?"

Cheng Xiu bared her teeth at her to show her dissatisfaction.

Cheng Yun calmly stretched out his left hand to hold his sister down, while his right hand was still working hard. He could be said to be a typical office worker.

Bai Ningning made a solemn promise: "Don't worry, I'll come pick you up in two days. After you finish your work, you can wander around the underworld and fight against violence and protect the good people - more exercise is good for your physical and mental health."

[High emotional intelligence: Go out more and exercise more.]

[Low EQ: Go to the back area of ​​the underworld and beat up the troublemaking ghosts.]

[No matter how hard you try, you can't escape the fate of being a corporate slave. Ningning is such a ruthless boss! Damn it!]

[But putting myself in the perspective of an unscrupulous boss, the experience is really good...]

[Don't be corrupted by the evil capitalists! ! ]

After Bai Ningning assigned the tasks, she returned to the human world to sleep, leaving Ma Juan, her mother and daughter to work for her in the underworld.

Of course, Qing Huai followed her. After all, there were many evil spirits in Yuancheng now, so she had to find a powerful one to keep watch for her.

What capitalist?

She doesn't even pay her employees, what kind of capitalist is she? :)

Bai Ningning left work early, and Chu Ze was not idle either. He sent the wanted order to the Xuan Committee and asked them to search more in the human world.

As the acting King of Hell, he actually does not have the abilities that a King of Hell should have. Apart from relying on his strength to beat up ghosts, he most of the time has to rely on the help of the ghost messengers of the Impermanence and the mysterious gates of the human world, which he euphemistically calls a "cooperative relationship."

The Xuan Committee received the wanted notice he sent and quickly forwarded it to the members of the patrolling guard team.

Chu Ze was quite reliable. In addition to the name, level, and appearance characteristics, every message he sent would also include the personality traits and special abilities of some troublesome evil spirits, saving them a lot of trouble.

The moon is bright and the wind is clear tonight. People who stayed up late gradually fell asleep, and only a few windows still had lights on.

The Xuanmen guards responsible for patrolling the streets are quietly moving between rooftops, protecting the peaceful dreams of thousands of households.

The light in Chu Hanzhou's room was still on, and he was sitting in front of the computer handling official business.

Although he was on leave and not in the company, there were still many documents that needed his confirmation and signature.

Chu Hanzhou pinched his brows to concentrate, but then he noticed a dark figure passing by outside the window. Guessing it was someone from the guards, he felt a little worried and sent a message to Chu Yuyan: "Did Ningning go to the underworld today?"

He thought he would have to wait until dawn to receive a reply, but he didn't expect the other party to reply almost immediately: "I'm here, and I'm showing off my skills."

Chu Hanzhou frowned even deeper and called the other party: "How are you?"

Chu Yuyan spoke lazily in a relaxed tone, "I came back to get some fresh air and soak my feet while I still have some feeling. She's quite good. This will allow me to rest for half a month."

Chu Hanzhou didn’t quite understand this, but he could feel from the other person’s tone that Ningning was indeed very strong.

He also smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow."

"OK."

The other party hung up the phone lazily.

Before the call was hung up, Chu Hanzhou vaguely heard the other party humming a song, and he sounded in a very good mood.

Three o'clock in the morning, Qingwei Mountain.

The Black and White Impermanence followed Bai Ningning's guidance and reached the back mountain.

Qingwei Mountain is still shrouded in clouds and mist at night, and the fairy air during the day turns into a ghostly atmosphere at night.

The two stood at the gate of the forbidden area. Xie Bian looked at the wasteland in front of him and said, "It's a trick."

Fan Wujiu raised the corner of his mouth: "Hey, do you want to go in? Do you think they found out we're here?"

"It doesn't matter." Xie Bian walked in first. "It doesn't matter whether they found anything or not. We've already come to investigate, and we don't intend to be polite with them."

Even if there are some traps here, it doesn’t matter; they can’t hurt them.

Although the underworld has been without a master for many years, resulting in the ghost messengers lacking spiritual power and being constrained everywhere, after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and mere mortals have not been able to stop their existence.

Xie Bian waved his hand and simply and crudely broke the illusion, and the forbidden area's formation was clearly displayed in front of them.

Fan Wujiu gasped, "Judging from the traces, this Soul Transformation Formation has been operating for at least a thousand years... Did Qinghuai really come out from here? He's still so strong after being sucked away for so many years? Hasn't he become a psychopath? Will he suddenly go berserk and hurt Little Yama?"

Xie Bian thought about how the man and the ghost interacted, and his tone turned even colder: "You might as well worry about the ghost than her."

Xie Bian walked forward with a cold face, using his spiritual power to detect traces of the Soul Transformation Array.

The Soul Transferring Formation is currently in an abandoned state. On the one hand, it may be related to Qing Huai being taken away. On the other hand, it is because the Black and White Impermanence visited. They were worried about being discovered, so they disguised this place as a deserted wasteland with no visitors.

Yuan Xiushuo is really a cunning old fox. Black and White Impermanence originally planned to investigate quietly. The number of ghosts recruited into the underworld in recent years is obviously wrong. They want to conduct a secret investigation to find out what went wrong.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at Qingwei Mountain, they were discovered by Yuan Xiushuo, who brought a large number of people with him. While bowing and shouting "I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar", he asked the younger generations to surround them and take them to visit Qingwei Mountain.

Although no forbidden areas were discovered before, we still gained something.

Qingwei Mountain also has inner disciples and outer disciples. The inner disciples are mostly "second-generation cultivators" sent by major families and children from poor families with extremely high talents; the outer disciples are mostly scholars of metaphysics who have some talent and have just begun to understand the basics.

Although there is a gap in talent, the gap in strength between the inner and outer disciples is too great. This cannot be made up by talent and hard work alone. There must be other things that help.

The spiritual veins in the terrain of Qingwei Mountain are declining, so they have temporarily ruled out the possibility of spiritual vein blessing.

Who knew that just before they arrived, Qingwei Mountain had stopped using the "artificial spiritual vein".

Fan Wujiu examined the remaining formation and said, "This formation has been able to last this long. It not only absorbed Qing Huai's spiritual power, but also fed a lot of ghosts."

He frowned and muttered to himself, "Why are the colors so different in depth? Some of the lines look like they were just added... simply to destroy the Soul Transformation Formation?"

Xie Bian pondered for two seconds and asked, "How many Xuanmen do you think are involved in this matter?"

Fan Wujiu's frown grew deeper as he traveled further and further. There were quite a few second-generation Xuans in Qingwei Mountain, from every family.

If we really want to settle the accounts, it may not be that simple.

"I didn't know you two were so honored to come. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."

Yuan Xiushuo appeared at some point, standing on the top of the mountain and looking down at them.

Tonight the dark clouds cover the moon, making the ruined formation and the wasteland seem even more eerie and desolate.

Yuan Xiushuo put away his cunning smile, and looked at them with disdain, his hands behind his back and eyes downcast: "What a pity, this old man's formation is not a soul-transforming formation, but a fairy-trapping formation."

Only then did Fan Wujiu notice that the Immortal Trapping Formation he mentioned was hidden in the remaining formations and could not be found without careful observation.

The new formation hidden in the remaining formation slowly lit up with white light.

Xie Bian asked, "Can you break the formation?"

Fan Wujiu said confidently: "Yes, it will take some time."

Yuan Xiushuo shrugged it off, speaking slowly as if delivering a verdict, "You two are overthinking it. Two ghost messengers visited us earlier, but they returned to the underworld in the early hours of this evening and haven't returned since."

"Arrogant!" Xie Bian drew his sword to kill him, but was blocked by the immortal formation and his attack could not fall on Yuan Xiushuo.

Yuan Xiushuo stroked his beard and continued, "If the two of you disappear, it has nothing to do with Qingwei Mountain."

Fan Wujiu squatted on the ground, observing the formation, thinking about how to break it, and reminded his partner: "Save your energy first, give me five minutes to break it."

Yuan Xiushuo sneered, "I'm afraid you two don't have the time."

"Father...?" On the hillside, Yuan Muyang looked at him in shock, unable to believe that the man in front of him was his father, his master, and the dean of Qingwei Mountain.

Aren't they slaying demons and eliminating ghosts for the benefit of the common people? Why did he show such a sinister, cunning and disgusting smile to the Black and White Impermanence?

The air was so still that not even the chirping of cicadas could be heard.

Yuan Xiushuo was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Yuan Muyang would appear in Qingwei Mountain at this time.

In just a moment, Fan Wujiu found a flaw in the formation. When he turned around, the Black and White Impermanence had disappeared.

Yuan Xiushuo said with a cold face: "What are you doing back?"

Yuan Muyang opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

He wanted to condemn, question, and wonder what Yuan Xiushuo was doing. He wanted to know if the image of father, master, and dean he had portrayed for so many years was just an act?

But he couldn't ask anything.

As far as he could remember, Yuan Xiushuo was a strict but warm and kind person.

Yuan Xiushuo was particularly strict in teaching. He would slap their hands after they made a mistake and tell them, "You must not make mistakes at any time. Are you going to make such a low-level mistake when saving people from the clutches of a ghost?! It might be just a small mistake of a second late for you, but for the innocent people being held hostage or devoured by the ghost, it means a life!"

He was very stingy with himself, but he would secretly help some poor people and quietly leave them some charity money.

He seldom played with him, but when he came back from the mountain, he would bring him hawthorn cakes from time to time.

Yuan Muyang couldn't connect the righteous Yuan Xiushuo in his memory with the sinister and cunning guy in front of him.

Yuan Xiushuo was interrupted by him and accidentally let the Black and White Impermanence go. On the verge of exploding, he suppressed his temper and asked, "When were you there?"

When Yuan Muyang opened his mouth to speak, he realized that his voice was more hoarse than he had imagined. He asked, "Is all that true?"

Yuan Xiushuo sneered, as if mocking his childish naivety.

Yuan Xiushuo drew the Qi-seeking Talisman while sternly lecturing, "Really? Do you really think you have such an amazing talent? Come with me and find them! If they get away, we're all doomed!"

The Qi-seeking Talisman glowed white and floated in the air, as if it couldn't find its target, and fell weakly to Yuan Xiushuo's feet.

Yuan Xiushuo was so furious that he raised his foot and crushed the Qi-seeking talisman.

How come I can’t find it?

Damn it! The gate to the underworld wasn’t opened just now, where can they escape to?

Bai Ningning had just returned to her body and hadn't had time to fall asleep when she was awakened by the strong fluctuations of spiritual energy in the room. She was so scared that she quickly sat up and asked, "What's going on?"

Fan Wujiu scratched his head and chuckled, "Sorry to bother you so late at night...but why aren't you in the underworld, Little King of Hell?"

Bai Ningning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was them. She didn't let Qinghuai turn on the light and asked in the dim light, "Why are you here? Did you go the wrong way again?"

But there seemed to be no portal in the room just now.

Fan Wujiu clasped his hands together, raised them above his head, and bowed in apology: "I'm sorry—I borrowed your energy field to teleport here, but I'm in real danger."

Bai Ningning was shocked: "Is this really possible? Doesn't that mean all the ghosts in the underworld can run into my room?"

Wouldn't she have to live a life where she sees ghosts anytime and anywhere?

That won’t do!

Seeing that her next move was to resign and go on strike, Fan Wujiu quickly explained, "No, only we, the Impermanence Messengers, can come to you, usually to report on our work..."

Bai Ningning: "That won't work! Wuchang is also a ghost!"

Fan Wujiu: "No, there is also Zou Wuchang, a living soul."

Bai Ningning: “…”

What's the difference between this and a ghost? A living ghost and a ghost that's died once?

Xie Bian had been quiet since entering the house, but he finally spoke to put an end to their boring quarrel: "Yuan Xiushuo had been prepared for this and just wanted to trap and kill us in Qingwei Mountain."

Bai Ningning looked gloomy. "Oh, it's not surprising for an old fox like him to be so prepared for everything. How did you escape? Could it be that Yuan Muyang still has a conscience and let you out?"

Xie Bian remained silent, lowered his head and refused to answer.

Fan Wujiu was vague: "About the same. He suddenly appeared, causing Yuan Xiushuo to panic for a moment. In that instant, I broke through the formation and escaped. Isn't that impressive?"

[This is hilarious! She's still trying to take credit for this! She had no idea Yuan Muyang was part of Ning Ning's plan, and that it was Ning Ning who instigated this!]

Ningning already knew that the old fox had prepared the formation. Did she deliberately let the old fox discover the Black and White Impermanence? Why?

[Pay attention to detail! Ningning deliberately returned early! If she was still in the underworld, even if the Black and White Impermanence borrowed their domain to come to her, they would still open the door to the underworld. But Ningning would not open the door in the human world, and the old fox would not be able to find out about her.]

[Also, Ningning hasn't turned on the lights yet. If she does, she'll be discovered by the Xuanhui Guards and Yu Yue next door.]

[In other words, all of this was within Ningning's expectations! ]

Bai Ningning: “…………”

I’m not, I didn’t, stop talking nonsense.

She didn't turn on the light simply because she was lazy and wanted to chase people away.

After all, turning on the lights meant they would have to talk for a long time, and she just wanted to sleep and didn't want to work overtime to listen to their work reports.

Bai Ningning covered herself with the quilt, lay back down, and ordered them to leave: "Go do what you need to do. If you want to go back to the underworld, go back. If you don't want to go back, find somewhere else to stay. Don't trespass into private homes. You can go to public places like libraries or museums. I'm going to sleep. Good night."

[I cried my heart out. She was so gentle and didn’t even expose Xiaobai.]

[Did she already know that Xiaobai wanted to finish looking up the information before teaching her?]

Xiaobai: Studying secretly, then pretending to be knowledgeable in front of Little King Yan. Ningning: Knowing everything, but not saying anything.

Bai Ningning: “?”

Is there such a thing?

You're so cool, Xie Bian! I didn't expect that a cool guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes is actually a roll king in private!

Forget it, no matter how chaotic the world is, it has nothing to do with her.

She's going to show off!

sleep!

After the two messengers left Bai Ningning's room, Fan Wujiu was worried: "She just mentioned the library. Could it be that she has figured out that we want to secretly check the classics?"

Xie Bian drifted towards the library with a cold expression and asked, "Does she know that we won't study anymore?"

Fan Wujiu: "...It doesn't seem to work. I think our little Yan Wang might be a super powerful person. She seems to know everything. Do you think she is deliberately pretending to know nothing? In fact, she knows everything just to avoid work?"

Before he finished speaking, he found that Xie Bian quietly increased his pace and increased the distance between them. It was obvious that he didn't want to listen to his nagging anymore.

Fan Wujiu quickly caught up with him: "Why are you running so fast?! What did I say to upset you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Bian accelerated again.

It was moving so fast that it was about to disappear from his sight.

Fan Wujiu: “…”

Can we still communicate well?
