Gu Xu: "It's rare that you've endured this for so long."
Mingzhuo nodded, "That's right, I can hardly hold back anymore."
Gu Xu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Li Wenhe: "..."
What are you laughing at? What's so funny?
He gave Ming Zhuo a cold look. "You'd better not be too optimistic. They've probably already changed their hideouts and gone into complete hiding. The Xiang family was investigated, and Yuan Qingwan has been hiding and hasn't shown her face. There's also been no progress from the Xuanmen side."
Ming Zhuo: "That's because the Xuanmen sect is incompetent, not because I am. I can still find out where Chu Yuqi and Yuan Qingwan are."
——
In a quiet room, candles were lit all around.
A beautiful woman with a graceful figure sat there meditating and cultivating, finally ending her practice and opening her eyes.
The man waiting nearby hurriedly stepped forward, "Qingwan, are you completely healed?"
The woman stood up. "Pretty much."
She stepped out of the room and looked at the scenery outside, feeling much more relaxed.
The man asked with some concern, "Lily of the Valley, are you going out? But there are wanted posters for you everywhere. If you leave this house, what if someone tracks you down..."
The woman sneered, "I've been hiding here recovering for so long, and no one could find me; now that I'm all healed, do you think they still have a chance?"
The man couldn't help but show a hint of joy: "Yes, they couldn't find you even though you were seriously injured, which shows that's all they're capable of."
Woman: "I asked you to study that amulet, how's your research going?"
That night, she used a ritual to strangle Ruan Mulan, setting up numerous ambushes in the villages and Dead Man's Bay that Ruan Mulan passed through, but Ruan Mulan still managed to escape!
Previous attempts to probe had also been blocked by a sword light.
If it weren't for the fact that she only wanted to test the waters and had no intention of killing, that sword light would probably have already caused her a lot of suffering.
After that night, she was completely convinced that if she couldn't break the protective charm on Ruan Mulan, she would never have a chance to kill that bitch.
The man before them, though lacking in magic, was very skilled in talismans.
The man looked ashamed: "I'm sorry, I can't crack it."
"Useless piece of trash!" the woman said, then noticed something was wrong with the man's expression. "What's wrong? Are you not telling the truth?"
The man smiled bitterly: "I am truly powerless, but I have discovered that someone can see the direction of the spiritual energy flow, which may be the key to breaking the deadlock."
"Who is it? Tell me quickly!" the woman said urgently.
The man hesitated for a moment: "Linglan, can you tell me what your relationship is with that Ruan Mulan? Why...why do you hate her so much?"
He decided to press on and asked all the questions that had been bothering him, "What is your relationship with Xiang Yuhan, and what is your relationship with Yuan Qingwan?"
"What right do you have to question me?" A flash of anger crossed the woman's eyes, but she quickly concealed her emotions.
She paused, then raised her hand to touch the man's face. "Yuan Qingwan is my birth mother. Her life was miserable because of Ruan Mulan. How can I not avenge my mother's death?"
"I see." The man breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "I'm sorry."
The woman said, "I am determined to kill Ruan Mulan. If you don't help me break the protective talisman on her, then just wait and see me be surrounded and killed by the Xuanmen."
A struggle flickered across the man's face before he hardened his heart and said, "That person is Ruan Mingzhuo's classmate, named Xie Xiao."
A smug, self-satisfied smile curled at the corners of the woman's lips.
——
With the college entrance exam over, Xie Xiao finally had a lot of free time.
Her younger brother, Xie Tan, is still in school and is preparing for his final exams. Her parents have to go to work, so she is home alone every day.
When she was bored, she would play on her phone and watch variety shows online.
This used to be a luxury, but now there's plenty of time to waste on it.
When she came across a trending topic, she casually clicked on it and immediately sat up abruptly.
The most powerful lineup in history for the supernatural variety show "Slaying Spirits" is about to be launched. Folklore professor Luo Wenxin and Xuanmen master Shen Boyuan will be in charge of guidance. All kinds of talented people and extraordinary people will gather, and junior sister Cheng Jingru will join in the competition. Come and ask the spirits together!
The production team went all out, tagging a bunch of contestants, many of whom are rising stars in the last six months.
Xie Xiao had been following the live stream where only three fortune tellers were doing divination, and vaguely heard the comments mention this pie.
I didn't expect it to premiere so soon! Judging by the amount of money they're spending on trending topics, this show is bound to generate buzz.
The fans below were all cheering for their idols, most of whom were fans of junior sister Cheng Jingru and Shen Boyuan.
Some people also brought up someone who wasn't on the list: "Why isn't she listed as only doing three divinations? I remember she was pretty good."
The comments below were all sarcastic and cynical.
[What a load of rubbish! It's all a persona created by the company itself; it's a lie, an act, and nobody believes it.]
[In the past six months or so, many people from the Xuanmen (Taoist) community have joined the ranks of Xuanxue (Taoist) live streamers because it's a way to cultivate themselves and accumulate merit. But why did this person only do three divinations and then completely disappear? Most likely, it's because the imposter met the real deal and didn't dare to cause any more trouble.]
My relative consulted a fortune teller, who is supposedly quite skilled, but well, anyway, the person behind the divination isn't a woman.
[Holy crap, it's not a woman? Could it be some middle-aged man picking his toes?]
[It's strange that she didn't even dare to show her face. Many people mocked Fairy Chu at the time, but in my opinion, she was clearly blocked and got messed with.]
[There are actually people expecting a magic duel between just three divinations and the junior sister? Are you kidding me? Fun fact: the junior sister's magic sword can actually slap someone.]
