"Yes, sir, rest assured, I will thoroughly investigate this matter." Ye You's eyes sharpened, and he became serious.

They dare to snatch souls from the underworld; they're really bold.

Little Yama cannot return to the underworld, but that doesn't mean that anyone can cause trouble there!

"There is one more thing: why did Xiao Xi come to the mortal world?"

Xiao Xi is the same Pixiu from before, which is why she named it Xiao Xi.

Jiang Yuan's expression turned serious when Xiao Xi was mentioned.

I recall the expression on Xiao Xi's face when she died.

"That day, my subordinates reported that Xiao Xi was missing. I sent people to investigate, but they only found that it had abandoned its post and left the underworld."

"Upon hearing this, I brought my men to the mortal realm to take Xiao Xi back to receive her punishment."

"But we can't find any trace of it."

"Xiao Xi is a Pi, the best at imitating people and can also impersonate others. Once it impersonates someone else, it can completely hide its aura and blend into the crowd, making it very difficult to find."

Night Wanderer answered honestly.

At that time, the ghosts in the underworld were heartbroken by the death of Little Yama, and with other things keeping them occupied, they had no time to attend to this matter.

By the time they discovered that Xiao Xi was missing, it was already several days too late.

A few days is enough time for Xiao Xi to 'become' a person.

He led his men to search everywhere, but found no trace of him.

To this day, we still haven't found it.

"Have you seen Xiao Xi in the mortal world, sir?" Ye You asked, seizing the key point.

If he hadn't seen it, Little Yama wouldn't have known that Little Xi came to the real world.

Very few people know about this.

"I've met you," Jiang Yuan replied, her voice unconsciously turning colder.

Ye You was a perceptive person; upon hearing Jiang Yuan's voice turn colder, he immediately understood what had happened.

“Xiao Xi is dead,” Jiang Yuan replied.

"Dead?" Ye You asked in disbelief.

Xiao Xi is simple-minded, clumsy, and easily deceived.

But he's practically a ghost official, with magical powers, how could that be...?

“Yes, it broke its promise to me,” Jiang Yuan replied.

He frowned deeply as he strolled around at night.

Xiao Xi broke its promise to Xiao Yama, which means it killed and ate people.

“I taught others how to deal with it, but… as soon as the fire was lit, fire also burst forth from its body, engulfing it and burning it to ashes.”

"Before it died, it looked into my eyes; it recognized me."

Jiang Yuan tried to calm herself down, but she couldn't calm down when she thought of Xiao Xi's expression before she died.

She could have saved it if it hadn't been engulfed in flames.

"Someone has placed a restriction on Xiao Xi!" Ye You found the key issue in Jiang Yuan's few words.

Fire was rising from my body...

There is no other possibility than someone placing a restriction on Xiao Xi!

Jiang Yuan remained silent.

Her silence was tantamount to an affirmation of the nighttime stroll.

"First, a traitor appeared in the underworld, then Xiao Xi left the underworld without permission, and started killing and eating people. Someone even placed a restriction on its body..." Ye You frowned.

"Since arriving in the Underworld, Xiao Xi has been diligently doing its duties and is most obedient to you, sir. Without your orders or instructions, how could it have come to the mortal world?" Ye You continued.

There's something fishy about this.

Moreover, the presence of restrictions within the body is even stranger.

“You are the all-knowing scholar of the underworld. If even you don’t know, then I certainly don’t know either,” Jiang Yuan replied.

She thought asking about nighttime strolls might yield some clues.

It seems the trail has gone cold.

"It seems the situation in the underworld is more serious than I thought."

"I will investigate this matter as well."

Night Tour began.

Xiao Xi's departure might also be related to the traitor lurking in the shadows of the underworld...

"Mm," Jiang Yuan replied.

She felt at ease letting him handle matters at night.

Jiang Yuan looked at Ji Lü, who was lying unconscious, and Ye You followed her gaze to his now more mature younger brother.

"Before I got into trouble, he was a spoiled brat who spent his days hanging out in bars or racing cars. He wasn't a bad person, just a bit willful, which made my parents so angry that they often thought he was a hopeless case. But unexpectedly... this kid was quite capable and ended up supporting the Ji family." Ye You squatted down and raised his hand to touch Ji Lü's head.

Unfortunately, he has no physical form and cannot be touched.

"He's become more mature, steady, and reliable than before," Ye You continued, a smile playing on his lips, proud of his younger brother.

This was the first time he had met Ji Lü since his death.

When the vengeful ghost ran this way, his first attention was not to the ghost, but to Ji Lü inside the formation.

He recognized him the moment he saw him.

That's his younger brother.

His cultivation was too shallow to break the formation; he could only enter it by relying on his upper body.

There were three people at the time, and he could choose to possess someone else's body, but...

Once you possess someone else's body, you may become entangled in karma with that person.

The other person's fate may be affected by this possession.

Therefore, he could only possess his own younger brother's body.

If he doesn't possess the body, he can't enter the formation and therefore can't chase the vengeful ghost.

Letting the evil spirit leave will only lead to greater disaster.

"You're really amazing." Ye You looked at Ji Lü, a hint of doting in his eyes, and his voice softened.

It's impressive that you've lived up to your parents' expectations.

It's truly remarkable that he was able to shoulder the responsibility for the Ji family.

She's incredibly capable of supporting the Ji family.

Jiang Yuan looked at the night tour in front of her and felt unfamiliar with it.

People in the underworld often say that Night Wanderer is a smiling tiger; he may be all smiles on the surface, but he might actually kill you behind your back.
