Chapter 576 Helping Him Find His Enemy

Ye Wanxi said this not only to tease them, but also to prevent these young people from having any ideas and going to find other masters to collect the wandering soul, thus courting death.

"This person's soul is pure and clean, and he possesses merit, indicating that he was a cheerful, kind, and compassionate person in his lifetime, who did many good deeds, and even after his death, he has never harmed anyone or been tainted by blood. Today's events should just be an accident; you just happened to summon him here, this..."

"My name is Song Xiaohui."

"This Miss Song happened to be mistaken by him for his enemy, which is why he overreacted."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that the man's target seemed to be Song Xiaohui, but during their gatherings, the girls always stood in the center.

Even though Li Weiming was the host of today's gathering, out of gentlemanly courtesy, he stood with Wen Jue and a few girls.

This resulted in the man initially lunging at them from the very center of the crowd, where everyone was surrounded by stars.

No one expected that his attack would target a specific person, so it was naturally assumed that this was an indiscriminate attack.

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaohui couldn't help but twitch her lips. She had never harmed anyone in her entire life, whether as a human or a ghost, and yet she was the one who ended up harming someone for the first time. Her luck was truly unparalleled!

No, she had to find the culprit who made her a scapegoat and see just how much she resembled her!

“A soul like this would be harmed without any justification, and would only damage one’s own cultivation. It’s impossible for me to take him in.”

Ye Wanxi explained it clearly, and although the crowd was disappointed, they did not persist in their pursuit or make any further entanglements.

"So the only solution now is to help him find his enemy?"

"Um."

"But he doesn't even remember his own name, how are we supposed to find him?"

"No name, but the face is still there."

yes!

All eyes immediately turned to the man's face, their eyes filled with surprise.

This man must have drowned. He was probably found not long after his death, so his death was much more pleasing to the eye than those caused by car accidents or jumping off buildings, and his facial features were largely preserved.

Ye Wanxi's reminder prompted Li Weiming to immediately take out his phone to take a picture of him.

As expected, nothing was taken.

Looking at the empty windowsill on his phone screen, Li Weiming recalled what he was facing, and his heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Wen Jue, oblivious to his friend's odd behavior, frowned and said, "What if we can't capture it on film? We can't just describe it to them directly; what if their imagination is too far off? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?"

Wen Yuan reached out and tapped her younger brother's head, saying disdainfully, "If I can't take pictures, can't I at least draw? Has any of you studied drawing? Or learned how to use a collage software? Just try to piece together a picture of his face."

“This is a good idea.” Several girls, who were more knowledgeable about this, volunteered to take on the task. “I’ve learned how to use jigsaw puzzle software. I can try to put it together based on his face.”

"Me too! Me too!"

“My brother studies painting, especially portraits, and he paints them very realistically. If they can’t piece it together, I’ll go back and describe it to him so he can try to draw it.”

“Then it’s settled.” Li Weiming made the final decision, but he still had some concerns. “We can help, but could he… not follow us? Also, we’re a little afraid that he might attack Xiaohui again, like before.”

Ye Wanxi stroked her chin and pondered for a moment: "How about this? In my name, I will bear witness for both of you. You have one month to find his identity and his enemies. In exchange, he will forgive and forget your actions of summoning him without authorization and offending him this time. He will not appear before you again for a month, nor will he harm a hair on your head. What do you think?"

"What if we still haven't found his enemy after a month?"

"Then keep looking until you find it. But you have one month to prove that you are not slacking off or deliberately not looking."

"No problem, we agree."

Ye Wanxi nodded, then turned to the man: "What about you? Do you agree with this approach?"

The man remained silent for a long time, then nodded blankly: "Agreed."

"Very good." As soon as Ye Wanxi finished speaking, a bright light shone on the man and Li Weiming and the others.

"My hands, Weiming, your hands..."

With a gasp, everyone noticed a glowing mark on the back of their hand. The mark flickered a few times and then disappeared without a trace.

The same applies to men.

"This mark is proof of your commitment to each other. With it, you no longer need to worry that he will hurt you. But at the same time, you will also be punished if you fail to keep your promise."

"What punishment?"

Ye Wanxi gave the person who asked the question a mysterious smile, a smile that made the person shudder and wisely shut their mouth.

Once the contract was finalized, the man's figure vanished from the house, just as abruptly as he had arrived.

The crowd's expressions changed, and they swarmed around Ye Wanxi like startled birds, whispering, "Miss Ye... he... he..."

"I'm leaving now. I'll come back in a month."

Li Weiming breathed a sigh of relief, but then his face fell again at the thought of seeing him again in a month.

"How...how should we find this?"

"Perhaps you could check if there have been any drowning incidents in the waters around here in recent years? Besides, he's very fixated on his enemy, so it's unlikely he drowned accidentally while swimming. If you can find out more details, you might even be able to help the police solve a murder case."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they nodded hurriedly, saying, "Yes, yes, we'll go check it out in a bit."

Li Weiming breathed a sigh of relief, then his face turned pale as if he had just remembered something: "Um... Miss Ye."

"Is there anything else?"

"Do all drowning people have... that thing..."

If that's the case, which beach hasn't had drowning incidents? His house is right by the sea; besides this guy, won't people keep coming over to visit him from time to time?

The thought of this possibility made Li Weiming feel terrible.

After listening to Li Weiming's hesitant question, Ye Wanxi chuckled: "Do you think all ghosts can linger at will? Generally, those that stay are only staying for one of two reasons."

"Which two?"

"One type is suicide, which can easily lead to being trapped in one place, becoming a bound spirit, and constantly reliving the scene of one's death. Another type is having a strong obsession."

"His answer should be the second one."
