Qu Jian'er was about to chase after him when she was stopped by Captain Pang.

Team Leader Pang rubbed his hands together and started his persuasive mode: "This young lady's skills seem extraordinary. Would you be interested in joining our Lingte Bureau? It's a government-affiliated position with five social insurances and one housing fund."

As soon as he finished speaking...

Those present sighed in dismay.

The Paranormal Affairs Bureau, officially known as the Paranormal Special Management Department.

If a legitimate member of the Xuanmen sect wants to use metaphysics in public, they must have a certificate issued by the Lingte Bureau.

In the world of metaphysics, everyone knows that verification is incredibly difficult, almost impossible. And a secure job at the Bureau of Spirituality is the most difficult of all.

But now, Captain Pang, as the second-in-command of the Lingte Bureau, has actually invited a complete stranger.

Qu Jian'er raised an eyebrow slightly.

Captain Pang has a good eye for people; he didn't mean anything by it.

A dangerous person like Qu Jian'er should either be recruited or recruited.

He thought that even if Qu Jian'er was the least capable, she would still shake her head and refuse.

Unexpectedly, the other party gave a strange look, as if to say, "I've only managed to fool them with what they had left."

Team Leader Pang continued his persuasion: "The department offers many benefits, and we're usually quite relaxed, without having to sit in an office. If our performance is good, we can get double the year-end bonus without even having to apply. Want to add each other as friends?"

Qu Jian'er decisively showed her phone's QR code: "As the embodiment of justice, I'm definitely not after your double year-end bonus. Okay, let's talk in detail later."

Team Leader Pang smiled and added the person as a friend, then waved goodbye to Qu Jian'er with satisfaction.

After Qu Jian'er left.

Master Fan suddenly realized that the clues to breaking the curse on Xinuo seemed to have disappeared.

And at this time.

Qu Jian'er caught up with the shadowy figure and the spirit.

The spirit was confronting the dark figure when it saw Qu Jian'er, as if it had found a backer: "It's him! I can sense it. He's the one living in place of the master!"

Qu Jian'er intercepted the person wandering in the shadows and carried the frying pan on her shoulder.

The shadowy figure clearly hadn't expected to be caught up so quickly, and he looked at the harmless aura emanating from Qu Jian'er.

As they were both at the Qi Condensation stage, he felt that the other party's cultivation level was definitely not as simple as it appeared.

Qu Jian'er, with her bandit-like logic, laughed and said, "Where is the head of the family in such a hurry to run off to? Since you're already here, why not pay some toll before you leave?"

Then, after spotting the shadowy figure, figuring out its identity, and noticing the faintly glowing ring in its hand, they realized...

She suddenly realized.

Immediately adopt a relaxed attitude.

It was a spirit that was completely unlike any other, and was extremely malevolent.

The spirit slightly bent its forelimbs, ready to pounce and tear the patriarch apart at any moment.

The head of the household stepped out of the shadows, his exposed skin wrapped in layers of gauze.

He wasn't surprised to be recognized.

I was only surprised by the calmness of the person in front of me.

After all, while his name may not be known throughout the world of metaphysics, it is certainly well-known.

He marveled at the wisdom of his ancestors' prophecy and wondered why Qu Jian'er wasn't afraid of him.

The patriarch, wearing a crying face mask, said, "You seem unafraid that I will attack you."

Qu Jian'er looked at her like she was an idiot: "You deliberately lured Hei Dazhu out just to say something pointless?"

The spirit cat paused, its whiskers trembling.

It clearly didn't expect its name to be decided so casually!

How could a spirit capable of spreading illusions only deserve a name that Qu Jian'er could casually come up with?

Qu Jian'er knew that with the head of the family's abilities, it was impossible for him to be discovered by the spirits if he wanted to avoid people.

But the spirit discovered it.

This indicates that the other party deliberately revealed their presence.

It is solely to draw out the spirit.

Or to put it another way, it was all to bring out the one standing behind the spirit.

The head of the family chuckled self-deprecatingly.

He exuded an indescribable sense of despondency.

At this moment, he didn't seem like the head of the household, but rather like a pitiful person with nowhere to vent his emotions.

The head of the family lowered his head and sighed, "You don't know, the person I have wronged the most in this world is my own brother. I don't ask for his forgiveness, but I hope that the You family will prosper forever after this ordeal. This is a long story, let's sit down and talk about it slowly."

As if he had foreseen today's situation, his breathing became much more relaxed as he spoke.

Thirteen years ago, the year Xinuo was born, he had a premonition that the Lin Guan incident from a hundred years ago would eventually come to light, and the curse of the You family for thousands of years would finally be broken.

When Xinuo was training with Master Fan, he secretly followed along and naturally witnessed everything.

He knew of Youji's suffering.

I also know that no apology can make up for it.

But if he had to choose again, he would still choose to sacrifice Youji and let him live to bear everything.

Qu Jian'er excitedly raised her little hand and reminded him, "I usually have to pay to hear stories."

The head of the family waved his hand and said, "No need to give me money..."

Qu Jian'er interrupted her mercilessly: "What nonsense are you talking about? You're the one who wants to give me money. My time is precious. If you don't give me a million or two today, don't expect me to listen to you obediently."

A twitch appeared at the corner of the mouth beneath the patriarch's mask.

Under Qu Jian'er's expectant gaze, the head of the family resolutely protested against the other party's torment with his back turned.

Even if it was fate, he was determined to defend his meager savings to the death.

Qu Jian'er clicked her tongue and shook her head, looking heartbroken: "You won't even give me this little bit of kindness, and you still want me to take over your family? Don't even mention the door, there's not even a window."

After seeing the causal threads in Xinuo, she kept divining. Unfortunately, even after Youji stepped back into the seal, she still couldn't figure it out.

However, after the head of the family appeared.

She finally realized that her connection with Xinuo stemmed from this middle-aged man.

Or rather, it is all because of: family.

The head of the family hesitated to speak, clearly unable to withstand Qu Jian'er's verbal "torture."
