The meeting room was silent. Lu Sifeng was looking down at the file data, not knowing whether he was trying to escape or thinking of a solution.
After a while, Lu Sifeng raised her hand and adjusted her glasses. A flash of white light appeared on the lenses as she spoke, "There are too many Xuanmen practitioners gathered in the central city, so the ghosts and monsters have fled to the surrounding areas. We have special methods to deal with the small amount of resentment and foul energy generated by our slaying of ghosts."
As soon as I heard it, I knew he was just being perfunctory and deliberately trying to test Bai Ningning's depth.
After all, most people present had never heard of Bai Ningning before. They only knew that she suddenly appeared on a variety show recently and was given the title of "the metaphysical girl who can tell fortunes". It was hard to say how much truth there was in that.
After all, variety shows are mainly for entertainment, who knows if they are true?
Everyone present had similar ideas. After the Xuan Committee took the lead in expressing their attitude, they all looked at Bai Ningning, wanting to find out the attitude of the underworld through her reaction.
"Really?" Bai Ningning crossed her fingers under her chin, tilted her head slightly, and smiled faintly. "Since you have such a good idea, could you share it with Wangchuan? The resentment in the underworld is about to be suppressed."
Everyone's expression changed, and the atmosphere in the room became much heavier, carrying the dampness and stuffiness of the end of summer, making people feel irritated.
"Or else—" Bai Ningning's smile widened, her drawn-out tone making her demeanor exude a dangerous aura. "Open the door again and release a bunch of evil spirits to ease the burden on the underworld? Everyone can handle it anyway."
Lu Sifeng did not respond immediately, her glasses concealed her emotions.
But someone at the end of the table, filled with rage, slammed the table, and stood up, shouting, "Ridiculous! If the underworld can't control the ghosts, they're sending them to the human world. How irresponsible! Then what's the point of capturing ghosts and sending them to the underworld?!"
He wore black-framed glasses, had a square face, and a cross-shaped scar on the right side of his jaw. He was wearing a neatly-fitting plaid shirt with all the buttons buttoned up meticulously.
Frays at the cuffs betray the garment's age.
If she hadn't met him at the Xuanmen meeting, Bai Ningning would have mistaken him for a conservative dean of studies.
[When I was attacking these cunning and famous sects, I accidentally hurt the middle and lower-level Xuanmen.]
[Alas, the tragedy of a small sect. Yan Tongzheng is an honest man, and he believes in the underworld very much.]
[You're angry because you believe in the underworld, right?]
[The ghost hunting fee at Leiyun Taoist Temple is not high, it's like doing charity]
Bai Ningning stood up and walked towards Yan Tongzheng.
She walked from the head to the back of the conference table, and everyone in the room turned their heads to follow her direction, just like sunflowers following the sun.
Bai Ningning stopped in front of him and stretched out her hand: "Can you let me see your glasses?"
There was no tension as everyone had imagined or expected. Her tone was very calm, not as provocative as just now.
Yan Tongzheng didn't know what she was going to do, but he took off his glasses and handed them to her.
A very faint black mist lingered at the end of the glasses frame.
This is the resentment left after the evil spirit disappears. It is the medal of killing the evil spirit. It is extremely difficult to completely remove it. No matter what method is used, there will always be some residue.
Bai Ningning didn't take the glasses, but just touched the end of them to get rid of the black air, and smiled sweetly: "I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Yan Tongzheng saw clearly and felt that the foul aura that remained on his body had been completely removed by Bai Ningning - although he didn't know what method she used.
He saw it, and naturally everyone in the conference room saw it too.
Everyone's attitude towards Bai Ningning finally changed. They no longer looked at her as a vase, and some even wanted her to help them clean up the bad air on their bodies.
Bai Ningning sat back down casually. "Hey, why do you all look like that? The central city was cleaned up so thoroughly, shouldn't there be a better way? After all, there are so many evil spirits, there must be a ton of foul energy, right? They were able to clean it all up, that's super-powerful!"
Several people at the table had dark faces.
The hedgehog-haired man next to Bai Ningning tugged at the corner of her clothes and whispered, "You're even better at fanning the flames than I am."
Bai Ningning smiled back, "Thank you."
Seeing that Lu Sifeng still had no intention of responding, she continued, "What's the difference between driving the evil spirits into a small encircled area and releasing a tiger back into the mountains? Or do you have an ambush prepared in the suburbs?"
The man sitting opposite Bai Ningning was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He pointed at her and shouted angrily: "In the final analysis, it's all because of the failure of the underworld!"
Bai Ningning remained calm, a smile still on her face: "Yes, so I came to solve the problem, and by the way, to solve the problem of someone taking advantage of the situation with bad intentions."
Lu Sifeng said solemnly, "If there really is a Xuanmen outlier taking advantage of the situation, we will definitely punish him accordingly and will not allow him to tarnish the reputation of Xuanmen."
Bai Ningning: "That's good. Going against natural development will be punished by heaven. I hope you will not change your original intention and work for the benefit of the people. I can let go of what happened in the past, but from now on, if you still do something that goes against the laws of nature and human ethics——"
She paused, glanced around the conference room, and smiled meaningfully: "You'll be struck by lightning."
As soon as she finished speaking, the hedgehog-haired guy beside her couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The hedgehog-haired guy was just about to complain about how high she acted earlier, but her threat ended up being completely powerless, which was so lame.
Before he could speak, his elbow close to Bai Ningning was electrocuted. He was so frightened that he instinctively avoided the danger and jumped away, cursing: "Grass, grass, grass——"
[This is so funny! Are you really here to steal Lei Gong and Dian Mu's job?]
The Thunder That Will Strike You Is on the Way
[Our Ningning can really strike lightning! ]
The Hedgehog-Headed guy made so much noise that everyone else in the room looked over.
"What electrocuted me?" Hedgehog Head looked at his right elbow with difficulty and found a hole burned through his sleeve.
He blushed, "This isn't something that can be burned out by an electric baton, right? Can you really control lightning?"
Bai Ningning smiled slightly and did not comment.
The hedgehog-haired guy didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and silently moved his chair away from Bai Ningning.
These two consecutive actions shocked everyone, and no one dared to underestimate her anymore.
A man in a Taoist robe asked, "What you just said, do you represent yourself, or the underworld?"
Bai Ningning: "I represent myself and the underworld."
[King of Hell, what do you think? ]
[King of Hell, what do you think? ]
[King of Hell, what do you think? ]
Bai Ningning's eyes were instantly filled with these words.
Bai Ningning waited expressionlessly for the comments to finish, as they prevented her from observing other people's reactions.
When she wasn't looking, everyone at the table turned their eyes to "Chu Ze" who was smiling but not saying anything.
"Chu Ze" sat next to Lu Sifeng, which was considered the main seat.
Chu Ze followed Bai Ningning's instructions and gave an annoying and irritating smile: "Yes, she has the final say."
This was the first sentence "Chu Ze" said tonight, and the only sentence he said in front of everyone. No matter what others said next, he just smiled and did not respond at all.
But his non-response attitude also showed that he was supporting Bai Ningning.
——If you have any problems, just come to her, no need to come to me.
Bai Ningning waited until the emotions at the scene had almost settled down before clapping her hands, drawing everyone's attention back and reminding Lu Sifeng, "It's time to move on to the next topic."
Lu Sifeng remained silent until the phone screen under the information lit up and received a new message of "Continue". Then she spoke: "Then the second discussion point of today's meeting is about..."
The regular meeting went on as usual, summarizing the supernatural situations in various regions over the past period of time, the latest developments of the Ghost Alliance, whether there were any abnormalities in other directions, etc.
Until the meeting reached the most special discussion point, about the current situation of Qingwei Mountain.
Lu Sifeng gestured to the staff to hand out a list of materials for her and said, "Yuan Muyang from Qingwei Mountain has recently developed some health problems and requires several special medications for treatment. They have entrusted me to collect precious medicinal materials from you all. Of course, Qingwei Mountain will pay you a high reward that will satisfy you."
Bai Ningning took a quick look and saw that they were all very precious supplements, most of which were for nourishing the body, and a small part was for nourishing the soul.
Among them, there is a very special medicinal ingredient - red velvet grass, which is unique to the underworld.
Everyone present was knowledgeable and they basically guessed what was going on - the soul was damaged and most likely there was a phenomenon of soul separation.
Taking advantage of this time, everyone started whispering and discussing quietly.
"The little genius of Qingwei Mountain? Isn't he said to be extremely talented?"
"I heard that he can catch ghosts since he was young."
"Is this a case of God's jealousy of talent? Is he already twenty?"
On Bai Ningning's list of medicinal herbs, a few words suddenly appeared that only she could see: "It's backlash."
It's not that God is jealous of talented people, it's backlash.
They also blackened the words "red velvet grass", meaning that it cannot be given.
There is no need to guess, you know it was Qing Huai who did it.
If he could speak now, he would probably snort coldly and then say coldly, "You deserve it."
"What is red velvet?"
"There's a special herb that can stabilize the soul, but it seems there's only... Huh? Where's Bai Ningning?"
By the time everyone reacted, Bai Ningning had already left the meeting room without anyone noticing. The chairs were empty and she had taken the list of medicinal materials with her.
"Really? Isn't the meeting over yet?"
Lu Sifeng didn't notice when Bai Ningning left, and said lightly: "It's okay, I've said everything I need to say."
She sorted out today's meeting minutes and opened the door of the conference room. Tang Bo was leaning against the wall, guarding the door.
Lu Sifeng asked, "When did the underworld representative leave?"
Tang Bo was stunned: "Representative of the Underworld? Has anyone left?"
Lu Sifeng: "...It's okay."
There was no surveillance camera installed in the villa, and the Xuan Committee was unable to verify when and how Bai Ningning left.
The situation here is special. We are inside a barrier, and there will be people from the Xuan Committee to pick us up when we go there and back.
But Bai Ningning was able to leave in her own way, proving that she is capable.
Tang Bo understood the whole story and sneered, "I hope she won't come knocking on the door crying tonight, saying she's lost in the barrier."
[I'm overthinking it. I haven't yet formed a barrier that can trap Ningning.]
[This is hilarious! The last person who said they'd get lost in the barrier was Yuan Xiushuo, but Ningning still managed to come and go without any problems.]
Ningning really comes and goes without a trace.
Lu Sifeng and Danmu were in parallel time and space, but they reached a consensus: "No, she is much stronger than you think."
Tang Bo was puzzled: "It was just a meeting, could it change your opinion of her so much?"
Lu Sifeng threw the meeting minutes into his arms: "Read it yourself."
Bai Ningning has now returned to Beiyang City, of course, with the help of the Underworld's portal.
Chu Ze was sorting out the roster records. He didn't expect her to come back so soon. He put down his pen and asked with a smile, "Is the meeting over? Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai have successfully broken through and returned to the underworld."
Bai Ningning responded coldly, and then heard him ask: "Did you run into them on the way back?"
"No." Bai Ningning handed him the list of medicinal herbs. "Qingwei Mountain's request for help is probably because Yuan Muyang has a problem."
Chu Ze glanced at it casually, put it aside, and asked, "Is there anything you want to say to Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai?"
Bai Ningning: "Then do you have anything to say to Xiao Taohua?"
Chu Ze: "You want to help?"
Bai Ningning didn't say anything.
Chu Ze covered his chest, looking deeply hurt: "His biological father just hunted down your old father, and you actually want to help him provide precious medicinal materials, really-"
Under the threat of Bai Ningning's vicious eyes, Chu Ze instantly regained his composure and stopped being naughty.
Chu Ze coughed lightly and confessed, "The underworld is also short of it."
Chu Ze knocked on the table and pointed at the row of red velvet grass: "Don't you think it's a test? They are testing the attitude of the underworld."
Bai Ningning pondered for two seconds and asked, "How about I kill Yuan Muyang now and bring him to the underworld to work and atone for his sins?"
Chu Ze: “?”
Bai Ningning: "Or should we wait for him to die of natural causes? Can we summon his soul while he's still alive?"
Chu Ze: “……?”
