"It's a long story, I'll explain when we get back."

Ji Qian dismissed Xu Qi with a few words, decisively ignoring Ying Xu, who was standing to the side, eager to try.

"But how are we going to get back? Does anyone know the way?"

Han Mengyao looked around, but could only see an endless expanse of green.

They were currently in a depression in the middle of a hillside, and from this angle, they couldn't see the manor or even the spire of the castle.

"The shape of this back mountain is very special. It looks like a maze from the satellite. I don't remember how to get out."

Xu Qi shrugged, indicating that he was powerless to help.

So the group turned their hopeful gazes to the assistant director and his team. The assistant director shuddered at their stares, then forced a wry smile and said:

“When we came to scout the location before, the local leaders said that the terrain in this back mountain was complicated and that wild animals would appear at night. They specifically instructed us not to enter without permission.”

The implication was that he didn't know the way out either, and the situation reached a stalemate.

"etc!"

Mi Yesi suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Ying Xu, and said excitedly:

"Isn't there a local devil among us?!"

Only after hearing this did the others remember the existence of Earl Lanruer, but...

"Is he really okay?"

Although Count Lanruer successfully reached the finish line with the combined assistance of Ying Xu and Miyesi, it clearly caused him great exhaustion.

Only then did Ji Qian and the others realize that Count Lanruer had fallen unconscious on a nearby grassy slope.

Seeing this, Ji Qian pulled Xu Qi towards Earl Lanruer, and on the way, she didn't forget to give Nora a quick stab to prevent her from causing trouble again.

Han Mengyao stared silently at the swelling that was beginning to rise on Nora's neck for a long time, but ultimately did not say anything to stop it.

"How is it? Is there any hope?"

Ji Qian's knowledge of metaphysics has never been extensive, let alone advanced techniques like repairing and healing the soul.

Xu Qi, on the other hand, is exceptionally talented and has a broad knowledge of all aspects of metaphysics.

Xu Qi suppressed his fear and squatted to the side to observe for a while before straightening up and walking behind Ji Qian. Only after confirming that he couldn't see Earl Lanruer's location did he finally speak:

“His soul is strong, and the wound isn’t serious. Logically, a simple Yin-gathering talisman should have been enough to heal it, but…”

Xu Qi didn't spell it out, but Ji Qian quickly grasped the crux of the matter:

"There are no conditions for drawing talismans here, is there any other way?"

"It's not that there aren't any, but this method is a bit brutal,"

Xu Qi glanced at the camera, then whispered in Ji Qian's ear:

"It might not be suitable for broadcast."

Ji Qian turned to look at him, and asked with some confusion:

"Is it even worse than what I did before?"

"...Not at all."

Xu Qi recalled Ji Qian's great achievements at the old house and suddenly felt that his worries were somewhat unnecessary.
