Chapter 427 She's Lying



Li Huili: "Did anything happen when you got home yesterday? Where's your boyfriend?"

Fu Xinyue was a little embarrassed: "We went home right away. Teacher, is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up now."

Li Huili realized that her question had crossed a line and stopped talking, saying, "It's good that you're all alright."

"Goodbye, teacher." Fu Xinyue immediately hung up the phone.

Seeing that the problem was almost solved, Lao Yao felt a little embarrassed and said to Mingzhuo and Li Wenhe, "Your teacher Li just loves to worry about things that aren't his business."

Turning to Li Huili, he reminded her, "Alright, everything's fine now. Let's not bother the students anymore. Do you still consider yourself their homeroom teacher?"

When the students were still in school, Li Huili acted more assertively and asked more questions, and the students didn't dare to say much.

Now that they've graduated, if Li Huili continues to interfere with students' personal privacy, they certainly have the right to refuse.

Just then, Pei Di arrived late. Li Huili thanked Pei Di profusely, saying that if it weren't for Pei Di's protective charm, something terrible would have happened.

Confucius said, "I do not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits," but everything that happened last night completely overturned her previous understanding.

The thought of that person's deathly pale face sent chills down her spine.

Pei Di scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed by the praise.

Li Huili treated several students to coffee and then gave them red envelopes she had prepared beforehand to thank them for making the trip.

"I don't know what the rules are in your line of work, so please accept this red envelope as a small token of my appreciation."

Mingzhuo did not refuse. He calmly accepted the red envelope, asked the waiter for a glass of water, and lit a talisman for the two of them to drink.

"Teachers, your aura has been a bit low lately. It's probably because you've been marked by something evil. Drink this talisman ash water and then walk around in the sun, and you'll be fine."

There were very few people in the coffee shop at this time. The waiter stared wide-eyed at this table of people, wondering if they had stumbled upon a scam.

But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like it. Those three young people, especially the woman, are as beautiful as a big star.

With looks like that, there's really no need for her to commit fraud. After all, beauty is a scarce resource, and she wouldn't have trouble finding a good job.

Li Huili also felt something was off, but she still drank the cup of talisman ash water with Lao Yao as instructed.

Since Mingzhuo had checked and said everything was fine, she was completely relieved. The couple smiled and said goodbye to the group.

Li Wenhe stood behind Ming Zhuo, looking at the whorl of hair at the back of her head: "Is everything really alright? I have a feeling that things aren't over yet."

Mingzhuo turned around and said calmly, "Of course it's not over yet. Fu Xinyue is lying."

Pei Di: "Then what should we do? Go find Fu Xinyue?"

Mingzhuo glanced at the bright sun outside. "Do you know where she lives?"

Pei Di: "…………"

Of course no one knew. Even the homeroom teacher, Li Huili, didn't know, and probably no one in the class knew either.

Mingzhuo: "If she refuses to answer the phone, or tries to hide something, then we've made a wasted trip. We can't force things; let's just wait and see."

Some people only realize their mistake after hitting a brick wall.

Mingzhuo had to record "Zhanling" that day and didn't have time to linger here. He quickly said goodbye to the two of them and went to the TV station.

Luo Wenxin was very happy to see her, and said while waving her folding fan, "Advisor Ruan is so kind. Seeing you fills me with a sense of security."

Not only did he think so, but the other members of the production team also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Mingzhuo appear.

The main reason is that the previous episode of Ghost Realm was too scary, and the difficulty level suddenly increased significantly, directly to SSS level!

Everyone is discussing Cheng Jingru's absence from today's recording, and they're worried that Mingzhuo will also be absent.

Fortunately, Mingzhuo came, otherwise it would have been too frightening, as we would have lost two pillars of support all at once.

Mingzhuo greeted everyone, and the contestants went to the contestant lounge, while Luo Wenxin went to the advisor lounge with Mingzhuo.

Luo Wenxin glanced around, raised her hand to cover the lower half of her face with her folding fan, and secretly gossiped with Mingzhuo.

"Do you know why Cheng Jingru didn't come? Actually, she made a big mistake and was imprisoned! I heard that she tried to possess someone else's body to save her mother, but she was discovered by an old fogey in the Xuanmen sect and is going to hold her accountable by using the Soul Search technique on her! It's not easy for the Xuanmen sect to cultivate talents... but using the Soul Search technique is a first for them. They're going to completely ruin her."

It was no secret that Cheng Jingru's biological mother had passed away; videos of her keeping vigil circulated widely online, and most people felt sympathy for her.

Luo Wenxin couldn't help but sigh. They had known each other for a while, so of course he felt that Cheng Jingru's crime didn't deserve such a punishment.

Mingzhuo thought for a moment and asked, "Is it possible that I am that old-fashioned person?"

Luo Wenxin's eyes widened, completely stunned: "..."

Mingzhu ignored him and sat down to find some peace and quiet.

But a moment later, Luo Wenxin came over again, reverting to his dashing demeanor.

"Advisor Ruan, you must be trying to scare me. How could someone as concerned about the world as you possibly use the Search for Gods? Even if you did, there must have been a compelling reason."

Mingzhuo leaned back casually in his chair, a forced smile on his face. "Then you're wrong. I not only know how to use it, but I also want to use it on everyone who tries to cause trouble in front of me."

Luo Wenxin: "..."

My goodness, I felt a lot of murderous intent when Advisor Ruan said that!

He frantically waved his folding fan, laughing and chuckling, "That's terrifying, you win. By the way, Consultant Ruan, today's program is quite lighthearted, and there will be wild delicacies to eat after the investigation."

Despite its menacing name, the variety show "Slaying Spirits" doesn't feature only dangerous missions.

Last time we changed consultants. We originally wanted to do a lighthearted episode to let the new consultant get used to everyone, but we still accidentally ran into a nightmare and almost suffered a complete defeat.

The production team was also worried about something going wrong, so since Cheng Jingru wasn't in this episode, they decided to continue working on the team and give everyone a break.

In fact, from another perspective, S-level and above missions are not something that happen frequently in Yunwu City and even some surrounding cities.

On one hand, the powerful ones were all taken down by Mingzhuo with a single sword strike; on the other hand, the Xuanmen (mystical sect) activities in Yunwu City have been frequent recently, and the evil spirits have long since retreated and hidden away.

The mission is to search for four missing people at an abandoned clinic.

This clinic has been abandoned for many years and has long been rumored to be haunted. Locals say it is the lingering resentment of the spirits of the infants who died there.

The health center was guarded by an elderly couple with a little boy who was about two years old.

The little boy was so cute that even the host couldn't resist giving him a hug. The old lady then took him aside to feed him.

The old man opened the door for everyone and went inside to take over from the old lady who was going to work the night shift, taking care of the little boy.

As night fell, a sinister aura filled the room, and the atmosphere was clearly off.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Zhen suggested that Luo Wenxin and some members of the production team stay outside.

The previous incident involving the Ghost Realm left a deep scar on everyone, and there are concerns that the same thing might happen again this time.

Luo Wenxin glanced at Ming Zhuo, thought for a moment, and then agreed, "Then be careful."

He always felt that following Mingzhuo was the safest option, but the production team did need someone to be stationed outside for support.
