In this session of the Metaphysics Grand Competition, several senior brothers from the Xingyi Sect were injured due to previous accidents, leaving only one healthy Ju Jingbai.
The surrounding...
"Master Cui Yan, what's going on?" A calm Taoist asked Ju Jingbai.
"Just..." Ju Jingbai hadn't figured out how to explain. What she and Xu Ge discussed later was that after she finished the ritual as Cui Yan, she had to wait for the police to come before she could remove the setting of the psychedelic talisman.
"Is there even any need to think about it? The one over there is definitely an imposter. The one over here has been staying by our side since the beginning of the ritual. He was so handsome when he was performing the ritual." The chubby little Taoist priest reacted and felt embarrassed about the sound of him calling a ghost just now. He knew nothing about rituals and made his fortune by flattering people. Cui Yan was also willing to listen to him, so he actively tried to restore Cui Yan's good impression of him.
Ju Jingbai and the chubby little Taoist priest looked at each other, and the little Taoist priest's eyes were full of admiration.
Not only that, the young Taoist priest was a popular person. When he raised his arms for a while, most of the Taoist priests stood next to Ju Jingbai. It was obvious that they trusted the slightly plump young Taoist priest next to her very much. The rest were real people who knew that the ritual she performed was not right, and some of them had seen her true appearance.
"Xiao Pan, don't be fooled by her. What she's doing isn't a blessing ritual. It's definitely fake."
"Xiao Pan, she must have put on some disguise." Someone advised.
"Xiao Pan, are you trying to piss me off to death? You've spent the most time with me, and you didn't even recognize me?" Cui Yan pointed at Xiao Pan, gasping for breath. "Have you forgotten the time I taught you rituals in private? The guy next to you must have been sent by a colleague."
Xiao Pan looked at Ju Jingbai, then at Cui Yan, and firmly rejected the persuasion of the young Taoist priests around him. He stood aside with Ju Jingbai and whispered, "Master, they must have known everything about our sect before coming to intercept us. When the police come, we should run away. I know this hotel well and I know a small road. We can leave them here to block the police."
He had already thought it through. Even if he admitted his mistake, so what? If he turned to Cui Yan now, he would definitely not be valued by Cui Yan in the future. It would be better for him to follow this colleague nearby. As for the one who followed him, he would not care.
Ju Jingbai: “…”, just as he was about to speak, Cui Yan started talking like a machine gun.
"Which sect are you from? Let me tell you, when it comes to funeral rituals, our Wei'an sect is the top of the heap, the absolute leader. Do you think you can just ruin our business once?" Cui Yan cursed frantically, "I'm telling you, no other sect can be more evil than us."
"Oh?" When Yuan An led his men to the stairs, he heard Cui Yan's shameless words.
Cui Yan: “…” Today is such a bad day for me.
When Xiao Pan saw the police coming, he took advantage of their unpreparedness and knocked down a young Taoist priest with one kick. He grabbed Ju Jingbai's arm and was about to run with the others: "Master Taoist, let's run quickly. I'll take care of you. We'll be fine."
Ju Jingbai removed the psychedelic talisman from his body with his backhand, raised his hand to press on Xiao Pan's shoulder, and captured him. He smiled and said, "What a pity, you took me with you, something must have happened."
Xiao Pan turned his head and saw that Cui Yan's old, brown face had transformed into the smooth, white face of a young girl. Although he had a vague feeling that this person was not Cui Yan, he never expected it to be a young girl. He couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise: "You...you...which gang are you from?"
Ju Jing rolled his eyes with a smile, raised his chin and pointed at Yuan An, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, you came quite quickly."
Xiao Pan was completely dumbfounded when he saw Yuan An in his police uniform. He almost wanted to go back three minutes and beat him to death for plotting to defect to the enemy. He actually defected to the police?
No such thing!!
Xiao Pan kicked over the two young Taoist priests and was only concerned about escaping. Everyone around him saw it.
Xiao Pan looked at the hostile gaze of the young Taoist priest next to him, and was tortured by Ju Jingbai with a dejected look on his face. He regretted it now, very much.
When the young Taoist priests saw the police, they ran away in a scattered manner. At first, there were not enough people, so one or two of them escaped, but they were quickly caught again.
Yuan An kicked the fleeing Taoist priest and said, "Run! Go squat in the corner."
"You can go squat there too." Ju Jingbai patted Xiao Pan's shoulder with a smile, and went in to find He Sishui and the others.
"Yuan An is here?" Xu Ge held the young ghost who was about to move beside Ju Jingbai in his hand, and asked when he saw Ju Jingbai come in.
"Well, Brother Yuan brought people here. Is Aunt He okay?" Ju Jingbai said.
"It's not very good. I asked the hospital to bring a stretcher up." Xu Ge glanced at He's father and mother. The two of them snuggled together, relying only on each other. He's mother even tried to influence He Sishui.
"Xu Ge, tell me what happened today from the beginning. I'll record it." Yuan An, holding a notebook, saw the little ghost and paused for a moment before saying nonchalantly, "Are they the two customers?"
"Yes." Xu Ge briefly recounted the incident and continued, "Yuan An, I came here today to arrest someone. I only managed to get an average score in the qualifying round of the Metaphysics Competition and didn't directly advance to the official competition. You need to compensate me for my mental damages, right?"
Ju Jingbai: "..." Isn't Xu Ge coveting the rewards of the selection competition?
"Got it, ten yuan." Yuan An took out a brand new ten-yuan note and handed it over. He looked at the ghost in Xu Ge's hand and said, "This is the ghost you caught. It's really not very strong."
The young ghost rolled his eyes and said, "You must be a fool, right? He arrested me for the prize of the selection competition and the comprehensive assessment. How could it be because of your case? And you're still asking him for mental damages. I feel like you're losing out if you don't ask him for it."
Yuan An raised an eyebrow, and Xu Ge slapped Gui on the head, put away the money, and said, "Yuan An, don't you feel that you are becoming more and more perfunctory to me now? Our relationship shouldn't be like this, right?"
"Then what should we do?" Yuan An turned to Ju Jingbai and said with a completely different smile, "Miss Ju, nice to see you again. You still have this interesting look. Thank you for cooperating with us to complete the investigation. We welcome you to apply for our non-staff staff at any time."
Ju Jingbai had already put the talisman back on his face without any hesitation and smiled: "Okay, I'll think about it."
Seeing this, the young ghost laughed at Xu Ge and said, "Look at me, look at you. I'm pretty too."
Xu Ge immediately laughed and said, "Xiaobai, do you know what this ghost said about you?"
Ju Jingbai was curious: "What?"
"No, you are not allowed to say it." The young ghost and Ju Jingbai looked at each other and shouted shyly.
Chu Qiu stood in the small auditorium, hugging her arms and rubbing them.
She looked at her two roommates, one of whom was busy dealing with the police, and the other was talking to himself in the air, and she couldn't help but take a step away from Mr. and Mrs. He again.
She was shocked and thought: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here?
